Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
“Bloody Light, we ordered way, way too much food yesterday…” Kayen groaned as he spotted the piles of sealed food in the fridge, then tried to pick which one he wanted to eat. Most of it was rather chunky and wet, heavy, sauce-covered stews with soft meat and plenty of starchy vegetables. “Doesn’t help that … Read more
Kayen grunted to himself as he hang out wet clothes and plating on the balcony, somewhat lost in thought. Across the way, an older Rethan was also hanging out their laundry on their own balcony, while a handful of gats wandered around in the street below. The weather was cloudy, but it was still bright. … Read more
Arkay sighed as he patiently waited for the massive file to save on his little computer. While the multiverse had seemed to solve the issue of space travel and moving between universes, it turned out that computer processing power and internet connection speeds were still stuck in the past. Every time Arkay had asked his … Read more
The Whenvern soared across the edge of the tiny universe, a place now known as the Panelixsphere. What had once been a rather standard universe had been reduced to mere fragments, and now Kairos was spending most of his time trying to stop it from fragmenting further. While the Panelixsphere was mostly stable, its miniscule … Read more
“Hey Arkay! You’re looking cute today!” Arkay closed his eyes and sighed as he opened the front door. Seimeni was carrying a folder meant for him, one final delivery for something he had left behind. “Hi Seimeni, I appreciate the kind words, but I’m not cute… Do you, uh, want to come in?” Seimeni checked … Read more
Arkay yawned as he stretched out his arms and flomped onto the freshly made bed in his new room. While he was utterly exhausted, he was very happy with how the move had gone. Everything had been packed up and sorted out pretty tidily. All Arkay needed to do now was arrange his new home … Read more
The tiny Thantir ship floated awkwardly, anchored to a large lump of cold rock. They were drifting very slowly towards a vast, crystalline mass, a gigantic cluster of white gems and gold trims. All around them, Voidborn guards loomed, disintegrating anything that got too close. “I’ll be honest, I didn’t think there would be THAT … Read more
“You have been awfully cold over the last couple of days, are you alright?” Arkay grunted, glancing around the corridor. This was the first time he and Retvik had been alone lately, but Arkay really wasn’t in the mood for any sort of communication with other beings. “I’m fine.” “Please do not lie to me.” … Read more
“So that is basically what you both do as work?” Tahnahos asked as the four beings headed back to the ship. “You just stand on guard for Life Goddesses?” Retvik nodded as he fumbled around for his keys. Most of his belongings these days were kept inside a single, battered backpack, and his keys would … Read more
Lysar smiled cheerfully as she carried a massive cauldron of food to the table and plonked it down on the heavy cork mat in the table’s centre. Around the table were more beings than Lysar had expected, but she always cooked too much, so it wasn’t a problem. “Dinner is ready, eat up, kids!” Everyone … Read more
“Can I keep him please, dad? Pleaseeeeee?” Rethais grunted as he threw his briefcase on the floor and chucked his cape vaguely at the cape hook, then grunted some more as he had to pick both items up and put them away properly. He hadn’t even properly looked at whatever the fuck his son Trismit … Read more
Retvik hated this office. It was too plain. Even by Rethan standards. Considering that he was standing in front of a powerful Decay Lord, it felt strange that this room was so simple. “Please, sit down.” There were two empty stools. Retvik sat on the one closest to the Decay Lord, to not seem rude. … Read more
“HEY GUYS!” Elksia squealed as she stomped into the observatory, where Retvik and Arkay had been quietly sitting and studying. “WHAT’S UP?” “What’s up?” Arkay replied back, looking confused. “You… you were gone for fucking ages, that’s what’s up. I thought you went to make yourself a sandwich?” Elksia smiled, then pulled out a very … Read more
“Elksia has been gone a while…” Retvik grunted as he flicked through a large pile of notes. Between his Decayling lessons and his work guarding ungrateful Life Goddesses, Retvik hadn’t really had much time to do any studying on his own. Retvik wasn’t alone in this regard. Most of the Decaylings here were in the … Read more
Kohra gasped for air as he pulled himself out of the water fountain, trying not to choke on dirty, endlessly recycled water. It must have been late as there was no one around and the lights on the edge of the fountain were the only things guiding him to safety. Everything else was pretty damn … Read more
