Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
“I do not know why, but this place is almost exactly what I expected…” In the distance, a vast, translucent dome could be seen. A metal ring ran across both its vertical and horizontal hemispheres, emitting glassy, gassy vapours that formed a protective shield around the main facility. Inside was a floating lump of rock … Read more
“I will not lie, things have been pleasant lately.” Litvir glanced to one side, panting heavily, as Retvik put an arm around him. “How are you… not… exhausted?” “You did most of the work,” Retvik smirked. “But do you feel the same? Have things just been more pleasant?” Litvir continued to pant, before allowing his … Read more
Tahnahos took a deep breath, a vague attempt to hide the fact that he’d nearly jumped out of his skin in surprise. There was a Vrekan standing on the table in front of him, her talons taking chips out of the varnished wood. Talons that were longer than Tahnahos’s fingers. “Fucking Light, Elksia, you scared … Read more
“Thank you for coming!” Revan beamed as he briefly hugged Relkay, then sat him down on the other side of the table. “I did not want to interrupt your busy schedule, but I really wanted to talk to you.” Relkay waved his hand dismissively, getting comfy in his rather deep seat. This small cafe was … Read more
“Did he take the bait?” Litvir smirked as he fingered his way through a magazine, flicking through the pages. He glanced up at Galyn, his smirk fading as he realised he needed to get out of Galyn’s seat. “Took the bait and the hook as well.” “Good. Hopefully that means we will be rid of … Read more
Theocydes teleported into the cargo bay, not knowing what to expect. He had spent a long time setting up a ship in distress for the Thantir Two crew to investigate, but they deceived all of Theocydes’s expectations and… ignored it. Clearly something was going on, and Theocydes wanted to find out. The small ship however … Read more
“Oh, thank goodness! I am so happy to see you!” That wasn’t the reaction Yisini had expected as she entered the blood-red glass castle, slithering her way past a handful of guards. It seemed that Epani had immediately detected Yisini’s presence, and quickly popped into existence in the main hall. She looked a lot… different, … Read more
“… And once I have broken its heart, I will tear its heart out as my final act of terror and revenge. How does that sound, Letharus?” Letharus blinked a couple of times, then wiped the drool from his mouth. He hadn’t realised he had been dribbling, but apparently this was a common side-effect of … Read more
Warm, orange lights flickered on as a hiss echoed down the narrow room. Rows of opaque, glass pods lined one wall, while beeping consoles lined the other. Right at the very end of the room, a viscous, sticky liquid began to ooze onto the floor, dripping from the bottom of the penultimate glass pod. After … Read more
Arkay put his bowl of half-eaten pasta down and stared at the damn Voidborn standing in front of him. Theocydes seemed rather pissed off, and it wasn’t too surprising as to why he was fuming. The last time these two had met, Arkay had blown him up blasted him off into the darkness, and it … Read more
Lysar stared at the floor by her feet, trying to form words. Occasionally, she would stutter, mutter something then fall silent again. Rethais had attempted to put his arms around Lysar to comfort her, but every time he did so, she shook him off. A glass of water appeared on a tray next to Lysar, … Read more
“Did not know you were afraid of needles…” Retvik ignored Litvir’s comment and kept his eyes focused on the steel tray, not daring to look away. “You don’t seem so pleased yourself!” Arkay snorted as he got up from his seat. He had been helping Galyn by mixing various vials, then placing them inside a … Read more
“Too much cake?” Arkay groaned, holding his stomach. It was technically midnight, but time was often a flimsy concept on the Thantir Two. There was an internal date system that vaguely corresponded with time both with nearby Life Oases and Deathven, but it didn’t make much sense to Arkay. As far as he was concerned, … Read more
Arkay groaned a little as he laid down in his bed. The day was supposed to have been a quiet one, but everyone had insisted on doing stuff. Not too much, just enough for the day to have been kinda full. He’d stayed up late playing games, then woken up late in the morning, only … Read more
Retvik yawned as he stretched his arms out, then wrapped one around Litvir. Pieces of armour were strewn around the small room, alongside bedsheets and various pillows, all of which should have been on the bed but had been knocked off in the heat of the moment. “That was fun…” Litvir muttered. Both of them … Read more
