Herbert Alamak

I'll be glad to finally get off this ball of chocolate dust. And that Bloomspice boy is lucky to have made it already. I guess if there's going to be a day for it, it might as well be today. And guess I don't care who else gets caught up in it. I warned 'em all to keep their distance, but really I think I'll be doin' 'em all a favor......(READ MORE)

First, it's the harvesting of the elder worms. The worms treat their elders with great respect, setting aside the easiest earth for them to churn in their twilight years. The younger worms spend time churning this soil themselves, and creating areas where the elder worms can find the greatest ease. Recreation areas for them to lounge in and be served meals, televisions with The Price is Right and Let's Make a Deal and soaps. They have individual rooms for living out their final days, with beds...(READ MORE)

Sister Elm

Day 33, tracking Tara and the Shizen Baton. "How are these Muckmen different, Little Sister Oak?" I asked. "They speak our tongue, Sister Elm. A poor version of it to be sure." "And what caused you to deviate our course to find them, Little Sister Oak?" I aksed. "It was their mudflute. It was calling." "You are a connoisseur of mudflute, Little Sister Oak?" I asked. "Did you not make one when you were young?" Little...(READ MORE)

And there it was. The tiny box, all tied up with string and in very clear handwriting in black pen: THE SADIE HAWKINS. The box that contained the Hettie's chrysalis. "My friends asked me to acquire it for them. They're collectors." "They're poachers," I said. "When did you become an animal rights advocate?" "When did you become so ruthless?" I answered. "Excuse me, do we even know each other?" Cat asked. Though I was from...(READ MORE)

Steampunk to hell 2/25/2025 10:25pm

Luz Dunkel

"This isn't the Steampunk to Hell?" I asked. It was the only airship I knew the name of. "Oh my goodness," replied the captain. "This grand ship? I'd be offended if I felt you knew any better." Then she gave me a wink. She was quite the airship captain, sprawled in her captain's chair in her cape and goggles and tall leather boots. "The Shaken Mullet Top, at your service," she stood up and bowed gracefully. "And you can call me Rose."...(READ MORE)

"I feel like it really should be me," I said. "No way," said Shimpan Eva. "This is classic red shirt material." "What?" I asked. "Ensign Marvelous?" Eva asked through the speaking tube. "Is your team ready to repel boarders?" "Aye aye 'mam!" Ensign Marvelous called back. "Through the hatch now, Ensign!" "Aye aaaiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeee oh my god oh my god oh my god!" "What's going on...(READ MORE)

If you wanted to buy four dimensional office supplies in the 2070s, you had to order it, and wait, and wait, and wait until somebody opened the box and found out if they were in there or not. Up until that moment they were both in there and not in there, until they were observed. I realized that businesses had a need for four dimensional office supplies that I could fulfill, if I had merchandise that had been observed by observers and was proven to be in the boxes. A brilliant idea was born. So...(READ MORE)

"Oh no, I'm sorry," I say. "I'm afraid we can't do anything with that." "You mean... it's ruined?" "Yes. There's no taking that stain out. You're better off just finding a new jacket," I say. The customer leaves. A little put out. It was an obvious plant. We're not here to be taken advantage like that. "Mom?! Dad?!" I holler. "It was another one of THOSE. How do we keep getting them? I think somebody's trying to hack us."...(READ MORE)

I just hit 100k followers with my Cybernetic War Monkey videos! Thanks so much to everybody for all the likes and shares. But sometimes I worry people are following me for the wrong reasons. Like, for instance, when it's a cybernetic war monkey attack on a bank or a convoy of banana trucks, those get like 10x more likes and shares. Especially if they're using their laser guided flechettes or some other fancy weaponry. On the other hand, when I do a "price of war" video, or inter...(READ MORE)

Zephyr Ambulance LTD

The Harbormaster's office had a commanding view of the massive dirigible bay. Not as impressive as from the control tower, but gave you a comprehensive look at the fleet of airships docked at any given time. But the bay was empty. We shuffled through the Harbormaster's desk, looking for last minute logs, dictaphone cassettes, patient records on clipboards. Any record of what might have happened. The walls of the office were decorated with ship's wheels and antique surgical equipment. And it s...(READ MORE)

DIDEL: Are you getting visuals, Grinni? GRINNI: Loud and clear, Captain. Looks like quite a spread. You just keep those groovy Lennon glasses on your snout and I can see everything that you can. MARMIE: Hush, they're coming. DOOR opens and a tall RABBIT in a bathrobe and slippers, drink in one hand a cigarette in the other sways behind it. RABBIT calls back into the party, giggling: Anybody invite a pair of Possums? DIDEL: Hey, man, how's it hangin? We're just a couple of talent s...(READ MORE)

With @Carolinaeuphrosyne chatting up @Nim Blanksy, I thought @Lasso Pout and I might have a moment to make our exit. I dropped my mooring ropes and gave ol' Lasso a wink. "I can't leave my cowpokes," Lasso whispered back. "Or those time travelers!" Leroy, Burt, Scarred Lil, Jimmy the Put Up, Little Gnarls, and PJ, were in it too. Though the residents of Paradise--all armed and guns drawn--might be distracted for a moment, blimps like us can't exactly zoom off at high ac...(READ MORE)

"Bijan has the Moonbeam free," called Bridget the Boar. Just in time, too, as the last of the outcrops of the rocky island slipped beneath the waves. "Any sign of @Harry Otter or the Big Bulldog?" I asked. "Hard to tell with all this churn," Bridget replied. "Lots of debris." "All eyes in the water. And ready the nets to scoop up the rats!" "Awooooooo!" cried Howlin' Wolf from the crow's nest....(READ MORE)

"So..." said captain @Ace Boeman. "What exactly were we supposed to do with this reindeer kidney?" The Land of Salty Silver Fruits shimmered all around us. The sky danced with northern lights, and the silver fruits tinkled in the trees in all directions. The captain clutched the Watoobian reindeer kidney, still wrapped in cheesecloth, like a burrito. "And no, I'm not going to eat it," said the captain. Truth be told, I wasn't myself sure what to do with the...(READ MORE)

The Nimble Shroud 2/1/2025 11:54pm

Lt. Denkt

It didn't make sense to try and bring the goats along. While they had been fellow airshipmen, their caprine tendencies had made them unpredictable. "Baaaaaaaa," said Captain @katelynn. "What is she doing here?" I asked. "Mighty unpredictable," said Khlebnikov. "Hard to control," said Dranitsyn. We were working our way down the beach, back towards the port. Far easier than the untrackable jungle, but it did leave us somewhat exposed. "...(READ MORE)

"But Zephyr Tech won't recognize my hyperspatial accident because of an irrational vector." "I see! Well, would you allow the campaign to use your story in our promotional materials in exchange for recognition of your Mezmo event, and its irrational...(READ MORE)

So we're hungry for any news or new information. Anything we hear about is sure to be the talk of the town! And there really hasn't been much talk about anything lately. How can we get people thinking about the big thoughts again? The kinda things that are important back in the Central Cluster?...(READ MORE)

"You all be sure to come back now!" Mrs. Wegner said. "What did you say your names were?" Puppy Grande said something completely incomprehensible and waved back as we walked away. "Mmmarrmar Woooodenma!" "Oh... what?" Mrs, Wegner called after us. Puppy waved back again and hurried up the pace. "She wouldn't remember anyway," she said. The item we'd purchased was in paper sack with a handle. It was heavy, as well as beat up. Pupp...(READ MORE)

Tom was sore on account of his fall down the ice stairs. "I know we're supposed to land on our feet, but ice is unfair," he mewled. He was sore about other stuff too. "So wait a minute. You sold the milk to, well, I don't even wanna say it..." "We're probably better off if you don't, Tom. And it was more like a trade." We were headed deeper into the tunnels beneath this particular Horrendous Peak of Underland. We had flashlights. "And now her...(READ MORE)

Queen of the Hudson

This close to Albuquerque, I really didn't know why we couldn't get a room. "Maybe splurge?" I asked. "Hush!" barked Black Hermione from inside her sack. "And get me out of this sack!" We'd set the Microwave Explosion down in the shadow of one of the volcanoes. The one in the middle. Each one wasn't much more than a bluff. Larry had the wooden head of Black Hermione in a gunnysack as we hiked up to the top. Larry stopped and I pulled out the head so as...(READ MORE)

"Commence download," said the Parsnip. The young boy who had just unfolded into a mass of wires and ribbon-like cables and processing units started gurgling in a high pitched whine. "Our canary in a coal mine," the Parsnip continued. "Couldn't risk sending you down again. Not in your condition. Needed a probe." "But..." I wondered. "How did you send him? Er, it? How could you predict the appearance of the little green man?" "We c...(READ MORE)

Le persone scimmia erano veloci di piedi e mani, dondolandosi da un ramo all'altro e strillando e saltando e facendo i loro schiocchi. "Non riusciremo mai a tenere il passo con questi salti!" gridai esasperato. Le persone scimmia erano già molto più avanti tra le infinite cime degli alberi. Minerva DePlume e Benefico Sal erano anche loro esauste, sedute su un ramo d'albero e riprendevano fiato. L'uomo scimmia sedeva sul ramo d'albero con noi. Era più vecchio delle altre scimmi...(READ MORE)

You think you're funny, eh? You think you're the funniest clown?" The president picked up a big metal seltzer bottle from his desk and held it menacingly. "Maybe this will make me laugh, ya think?

Excuse me? Hi, uh, that's my name there, on that name tag, right in front of that handsome little cat statuette. May I? I've never really been to one of these before. Queen's birthday jubilee that is. Awards dinners, sure. Boooo-ring, amirite? I did think I'd get a better seat. But I guess we should be able to see her Highness, way down there at the head of the table. I own the company that cleans her majesty's pools. At the palace. So, you know, a show of appreciation. We do give the...(READ MORE)

"Well, plenty of parking! Dock up there, right in front." A pair of tumbleweeds rolled across the tarmac. "It's abandoned," said my aide-de-camp. "There's nobody here." "Nonsense! They're just in hiding. They haven't seen a Celestial President in years. Likely frightening the bejeesus out of them, even in the Bonerabbit." My aide-de-camp looked unconvinced. "We'll take just a small squad. Four bullies in battle armor, but the rest of u...(READ MORE)

The Zaratan is an ancient creature. And potentially the last of its kind. "My name...?" it ponders. "It has been a very long time since I have had need of it... Need for words of any kind..." It remembers the shape of its mother, floating on the surface. "I knew she had died," the Zaratan said. "She prepared me for that." By that time, the Zaratan were already largely extinct. "I've never seen another," the Zaratan said. "But...(READ MORE)

There were a lot of rough years as the entire ecosystem was taken over by Stimulating Werejourney, Shake-on Ranch, Fully Clothed Little Helpers, Baby Jeans, AND MORE. A lot of folks didn't make it. But we learned to get along. Of course it didn't happen over night. The invasive plants had an entirely alien chemical structure--phytonutrients humans weren't designed to digest. There was a lot of trial and error in terms of learning how to cook them, but also with the adaptive genetic therapi...(READ MORE)

There's a chill couch, and a big screen, and a wet bar and a workout room and bathroom with a shower, but once in awhile I just gotta GET OUT if you know what I mean. Of course, I can always go "within."...(READ MORE)

You can check the archive logs for the run-of-the-mill pickup and dropoff jobs I've been having, but this time I've really got something of note--prize laying "chickens" on their way to the Omaha Mutation Invitational. Got their own staff of attendants to help out with the trip, which means no chicken-shit shoveling for me. And these monsters look like they can really put out a lot. Half the weight is just their bio-engineered feed, then some pounds for their staff. Big paycheck and I...(READ MORE)

"Doorknob's too high for 'em to reach," says the giant catching technician. "Oh! My, you snuck up on me." "Being stealthy's part of the job, mamm. Is the infestation limited to this one location? Do you know how many?" "Yes, just this restroom. There are...(READ MORE)

You get into a groove, climbing the 20 trees for @Master Willi. They've gotta be tall trees. Which is most of the trees in the forest around Sugar Pine Temple. There's no time limit on how long you can take to climb the 20 trees, but you have do them all together, one after another, and you don't want to be late for dinner or other duties because then you get in trouble for that. So you start up the first tree and just keep on going. After a few, they all get to looking like the same...(READ MORE)

It's true ol' Jimmy Three-hands told a fib. And maybe Great Mama Two-hands could smell it, since Great Mama Two-hands has her two great big noses. And don't get me wrong -- everybody loves those noses! But it is too much to be too long anywhere. Jimmy Three-hands is a rambler, and comes a time when even Great Mama Two-hands rambles on a bit too much. So there I was, ramblin' on in the Araceli, taking a look at the comic-book pages she was plastered together with, and dang it if it didn't appe...(READ MORE)

I spent some time roaming the grounds before dinner. The grass was trimmed, the pyramid tall. A few children with balloons and cotton candy wandering around. Where were their parents? 9 was a little late for dinner for me, and the corn-on-a-stick was looking like just the thing. "ELOTE en stick" the vendor corrected me. "How much?" I asked. "¿Cuánto?"

He was able to follow instructions, and in fact was an excellent ship's hand, and I figure really had been a captain once. Before the attack. But his mind still seemed a bit wrecked.

"She says she wants to go to Kle-hemet. And bring back something heavy." Why Kle-hemet for gods' sakes, I wondered. Every local scrapper had been over that place twice. And it wasn't an easy trip, necessarily. If you ran into trouble it was a long way back, and the desert out there could be a bit unforgiving. "Did she offer a price?" I asked. There were only two other lifters in our class at Sh-khem these days, since the Hedgehog disappeared. In that very area. And t...(READ MORE)

Traveling through the murk on the far side of the Drain is pretty much exactly what the murk is like on our side of the Drain. "Oh no, captain," @Ensign Charmers. "Can't you smell the wonder? The excitement? The freedom of untamed lands?" Of course, all the hatches were closed on the Eyes Without a Face. Otherwise the murk would pour in and drown us all. So the murk wasn't something one would generally ascribe a scent to. It was always just "there." "A...(READ MORE)

We tracked the small armada through the next day from a comfortable distance, riding in the clouds, surfacing now and then to keep them in sight. If they spotted us, they didn't let on. The ridiculous @Billy Sabab was somewhere ahead in his Matte Kudasai, heading for whatever ominous fate @Madam Zita's Enchanted Crystal Ball had predicted. The flock of ships ahead of us was obviously on his tail, and we were on theirs. And the flock really was a small fleet, with two medium and one general cl...(READ MORE)

A book jumped out at me -- literally -- in the low security shelves. Poor little guy was misshelved, obviously. Was not able to read the title on the spine and the darn thing wouldn't let me open it. This complicates figuring out where it should go, because obviously it needs some higher level of containment, and without a title or author or access to the metadata on its edition page, the database doesn't really help. So I'm keeping it in my bunk till I figure out what to do with it....(READ MORE)

I feel like a whole new guy, frankly. So I got ol' #4583 back into working order and I'm off to make my way in this great big toxic world. So long, toxic chumps!...(READ MORE)

Pinstripe

What is it like to be a pinstripe and lose your stripes? To be a jacket, deconstructed? What lies within, indeed? Mrs. Krause was kind as she clipped away the remnants and tatters of my old life. How did we finally locate The Great Dry Cleaners? How did we even make it from @smiley's warehouse to this fortunate ship? It's all a blur of traveling jacket hibernation and trans-pattern drift, aided perhaps by the consciousness expanding powers of nano-flavonids. If only @Houndstooth were here...(READ MORE)

At @Seersucker's request, I went in search of a janitorial station, looking for stain remover. After having no luck in a certain broom and mop closet I noticed one of the ceiling tiles ajar and decided to poke my (borrowed) head in to take a look. Naturally it was quite dark and I couldn't see anything but hints of a framework of metal supports, extending into the darkness like a wild jungle gym at night. But the breeze was fresh and there was a sense of space and openness, and I began to climb....(READ MORE)

I'm having trouble finding that station again anyway. Can't remember which of the 7,218,198 channels it was. It was some kind of public acc...(READ MORE)

At 1:30 PM, several miles off shore, The Rapture activated an experimental device created by Terrazian Futuristics, called “THE WORLD,” causing Earth to appear to slow to almost a complete stop. In reality, The Rapture is going at extreme speeds. The Rapture exited “THE WORLD” at 1:32 PM EST off the coast of Guinea. The airship continued...(READ MORE)

The Resurfacing has been accomplished with hardly a dent to the army. The Desert Arachni were admittedly reluctant to face defeat, and some good men had been lost to the gracious cause. Their deaths were not in vain, however. The breach into the ancient surface had been successful, despite the sacrifice of some beautiful ruins. When witnessing such destruction had reminded me of the previous memories of attending expeditions with my old crew mates, and how we planned months to reach here. Since...(READ MORE)

It's so satisfying to have one's theories proven true. If only there was some way to share it with the people back home! And by home, of course, I mean Earth. We were prepared for this, and had been transmitting data back to HQ up till the very last minute. No doubt the last of it got a bit garbled in some interesting ways, but hopefully they'll find something useful in it. But the fact remains that our theories about the Brane were correct--that by reuniting it with its entangled partn...(READ MORE)
