Adventures in the Space Between Universes
The flight so far had been rather quiet. While Arkay had been fine taking Kuta and Ret to the little floating island pub in the Ventra Expanse, his new passenger was a tad more awkward, and Arkay hadn’t said much. He’d also shrunk a little, reverting to a younger form. Not as young as the … Read more
“You are a very stiff person.” Rethais remained where they were, staring at the ceiling, not quite sure what had just happened. “Stiffer than most.” Why were they out of breath? They hadn’t done anything. “Honestly, you seem to go stiffer than even standard-caste Rethans.” It was hard to unclench. Whatever had just happened, Rethais … Read more
Silverspear is now online. Silverspear: Hey! Guys! Mimicblade: Hey, Elksi. Silverspear: You… do you ever go offline? Mimicblade: Nope. Mimicblade: Always here. Mimicblade: Like the ceiling cat that watches you masturbate. Silverspear: Oh you have those too. Mimicblade: … Mimicblade: What? Silverblade: We have AI-run cameras in public areas designed to catch indecent exposure, public … Read more
Arkay groaned as he rolled over in bed, wiping a little too much saliva from his mouth. Despite having slept, Arkay was still tired. And achy. And nauseous. And he had stomach ache. Basically, Arkay felt absolutely awful, and he really didn’t want to get up. Checking the clock though, Arkay quickly realised he had … Read more
It would have been clear as day to everyone who walked past Litvir that Litvir was insanely nervous, had Litvir not been making themselves telepathically invisible to everyone but their travel companion. Miisa had been trying to keep Litvir calm as they sat on the bus to the small farming village of Trofi, but perhaps … Read more
“Hello, Litvir!” “Hello, Miisa…” Normally, Litvir would be much more enthusiastic about their regular cookie meet-ups with their forever-friend Miisa, but clearly they weren’t doing too well. Miisa noticed this immediately and decided to be blunt and ask what was wrong. “You are not right today.” Litvir inspected Miisa somewhat before answering, then wished they … Read more
Deathbringer: Hey, Elksia, how are things? Silverspear: Oh hi! Silverspear: I uh Silverspear: Things are alright. Silverspear: I declined leadership for the northern border lords. Silverspear: Way too much work. Silverspear: But also, it would have made me too powerful and taken me away from my sub-sect and my troops, so I wasn’t a fan. … Read more
“You requested my presence?” Rethais glanced over their shoulder as a familiar face approached, then turned back to the large window they were staring out of. The room was otherwise empty, but there were guards just outside the door, as always. “I did, yes, Relkir. We have not really spoken in a while.” “I have … Read more
“I… did not like that meeting…” Litvir slumped in their seat, feeling rather tired. “In all honesty, I do not like sitting in on these meetings as well. But Tessar likes having us here, I guess. And I get to spend time with an old friend reincarnated.” While Tessar, the General of the 11th Legion, … Read more
Silverspear: Hey guys. Mimicblade: Hi Elksia. How’s things in the murderous circle? Silverspear: You the only guy online? Mimicblade: I’m permanently online. Mimicblade: Always busy sending instructions to my troops. Silverspear: And you do all that on Wyvern? Mimicblade: Yeah. Silverspear: You don’t talk to them in person? Mimicblade: I do sometimes but we don’t … Read more
“I… I’m sorry…” Vick rubbed his head as he wandered around, trying not to step in any blood. Nearby was the remains of his tent and camping gear. “Sorry for what?” “This.” The Ventra Expanse was normally a quiet place with no main ruling presence. While the Thantir did occasionally enter its edges and the … Read more
“While we wait for Letharus to return, how’s the wife, Kuta?” Kuta rubbed their eyes, then grunted. They had been drinking and playing games with their brother Litvir and their two telepathic lunatic allies Letharus and Thyel. All of them were drunk, but Kuta was more drunk than normal and was definitely not used to … Read more
Ret glanced up as a familiar flaming face approached, then sat down next to Ret without asking. Admittedly, Retvik was the leader of the Thantir, technically, so he could kinda do whatever he wanted, but Ret found it odd how he’d just… approached. “Hello, Kyr Ret, are you alright?” Ret hadn’t been doing anything. He … Read more
The trip to Vick’s place had been rather quiet. Both Arkay and Litvir were carrying little overnight bags, but Litvir had also sneaked a bottle of berry vodka into his bag. It wasn’t until halfway through the trip that Litvir realised that doing so was pointless, but he didn’t care. He was a little all … Read more

Shieldbearer: ive been thinking of you since you messaged me Shieldbearer: and made Shieldbearer: the chat with tenuk and elksos Shieldbearer: im kinda … Read more
