Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
Retvik tutted as he flicked through paperwork then switched back to his computer, closing a tab he had open in his browser. He only had a few bits to finish, but there were things on his mind. Since he’d taken this job, he’d noticed more beings coming to Palaestra. He expected Thanatians, mostly Kshan and … Read more
Dear Tenuk, I don’t know why I’m writing this. I just wanted to write. If I direct it at someone, the words come easier. As if I’m imagining that you’ll sympathise with me. I mean, if I said this in person, you probably would… You know what I mean. I just want to get these … Read more
“Kindyna, what the hell are you doing here?” Phovos dropped the heavy stone brick she was carrying and rushed over to the tentacle-haired Thanatian. She had been busy helping rebuild a Kshan defensive fort and she’d only informed Lokmahro, so she was surprised Kindyna had found her. Well, Phovos was a pretty easy person to … Read more
I think Arkay secretly fancies me. Okay, maybe fancy is a strong word. But he definitely likes me. And I’ve heard him say things during the night. While he’s sleeping. I’m not watching Arkay sleep but… well, I am. But I can’t help it. He sleeps weird. A sort of half-sleep where he mutters things. … Read more
Volt hid in the shadows and waited patiently. He wasn’t a stealthy sort of Warframe, but there he was, doing a stealth mission, because why not? It wasn’t like Volt had anything better to do right now, and he wanted to test out his new silent blast Sonicor, so again, why not? He had been … Read more
“Tennypoo!” Death smiled as she wrapped cling film-covered arms around the bewildered Kronoreth and pulled him inside. “Tennypoo! I missed you so much!” Tenuk struggled to break free from Death’s grasp, but finally relented and let the monstrous thing hug him. “You seem happy today.” Death didn’t reply. She squeezed harder, making it hard for … Read more
Well, something finally managed to snap Arkay out of his sulking, and it wasn’t me. I spent a whole… I have no idea how long. There’s no time here. No night or day. It’s always dusk or something. There’s no sun though. There are stars, there are lots and lots of stars, but there’s no … Read more
Kinisis felt miserable. Her Veth were being bitches, she was still sore from regrowing galaxies and everything was just about awful. The only thing she had to look forward to was an upcoming visit to the home of the Ostar. They were always fun. And loyal. And attractive. And up for sexy times. Only problem … Read more
I confronted Death today. Not intentionally. I was actually just trying to talk to Arkay and ask if he was alright. He was clearly following some sort of trail (probably a scent one), but he was obviously limping a bit, so I walked up to him and asked. Of course he backed away a bit, … Read more
I still have no real clue as to what is going on. Everything has been jumbled up. Nothing makes sense. Worse, Arkay has stopped talking to me. He wants to, but something or someone is stopping him from doing so. It’s not just him answering my questions, he won’t talk to me at all. Death … Read more
I remember saying to myself that I wanted answers. Turns out the answers I got weren’t exactly the answers I wanted to hear. It took me a damn long time to prise those answers from the yellow guy’s mouth, but eventually he caved and started talking to me. Turns out, his name’s Arkay, and he’s … Read more
She told me my name was Iatre. I don’t think she told me the truth. I look around at my fellow inmates and they all seem to think the same. Six of them I am pretty sure are all friends but the last one, it has a look of hatred in its eyes. As if … Read more
“The whole city?” “The whole city.” “From this tiny office?” Gath was not amused. He’d bashed his head on pretty much every single door frame as he’d made his way to the office of the ruler of Palaestra. He was supposed to have a new job but he didn’t even know what to call it. … Read more
The fire crackled away to itself. Kass watched as little flames drifted away and burnt into nothing. He’d been sitting there for about ten minutes. He wasn’t sure why, but that note he got after work was rather… convincing. The handwriting was identical. The little symbol at the end was the same. It had to … Read more
Phovos looked up at the two Rethans as she spread pieces of paper all over the coffee table, being careful not to knock over their drinks. She paused for a moment, took a sip of her own drink, then went back to spreading things out. “What is all this?” Retvik asked as she watched the … Read more
