DEAR CLIENT: Uh oh! The AVESAPIEN 0˯0 in Uncomfortable Stump is closed! As in "out of business" closed. Had you heard about that? Apparently they shut down a number of outlets. We looked for it for days till we finally met some disgruntled ex-employees who told us all about it. But they're happy to show us where the next closest still-open AVESAPIEN 0˯0 is. Which is in Homespun, some days west. So we've taken on a few new crew members as guides. And we'll be picking up that One (1...(READ MORE)

"See? You must really work on your spoon technique," Mrs. Vandenberg said. I'd never seen anyone actually use one of those little spoons before, not in real life. Only in the shows. Mine kept spilling off. "Just start with a few, dear. The problem is when you get too greedy," she continued. "And whatever you do, don't touch the ones that fall. On your clothes, on your desk, it doesn't matter. You need one of these. Mrs. Vandenberg snapped her fingers, and a tin...(READ MORE)

Cetacea Jones

We've joined an enormous Churn. That's what you call it when Sky Whales create a murmuration, but that's a bird word and there's no murmur from their wings. Because they don't have any. And usually you don't see more than a dozen or two churning at once. And even then the sound is more of a churn than a murmur. We're no longer flying in a straight line over North North Proxton. We're way past North North Proxton, and crossing the Arctic Circle if my calculations are right. The captain's still...(READ MORE)

Katz Spindle

These airshipmen didn't look like they were here on vacation. But they did all claim to be captains. "That's why you're the key to this, Captain," said the burly one to @Captain Pirate IX. "They're using you like a battery, sealed up in that concrete cell, cycling and magnifying the Droste Effect." @Captain Pirate IX leaned back in the big wicker chair and gestured with his margarita in hand. "Funny," he said. "I don't feel... how did you describe it?...(READ MORE)

Phoenix Quinn

"That was quite a bonk on the head," said Camy. I came to in an enormous hold of what must have been an even more enormous freighter. A superlifter blimp. Do they have those? "You got knocked into one those bins on its way to a tube," said Campbell. "So we dove in after you," said Camy. "Ended up here." There were a few lonely fluorescent lights high above. Bins and bails and containers piled high all around us, like a miniature city. And the q...(READ MORE)

The magician had given us maps to find our way to Reaper's Peak. Not that every tug and freighter pilot in the Madness Zone didn't know right where it was, and avoided the heck out of it. But the magician was serious about the job, and agreed to pay more than I'd make in the rest of a career of delivering mail and pilfered cargo in this rotting corner of the world, assuming I lived that long. And making a touch and go landing on Reaper's Peak wasn't as scary as I made it out to be. The main...(READ MORE)

Julie Cairo, Esq.

I didn't have faith this floating wreck was going to make it to Kle-hemet, much less be able to return with the BLACKBIRD. "Don't you worry, your honor, she's tougher than she looks. Might be held together by scars, but she's strong," said @Whitney Micrathene. "I'm a lawyer, not a judge," I answered. "Well then quit being so judgmental!" "What if we do go down? Do you have a jeep in your hold? Any kind of land transport?" "You don't wan...(READ MORE)

"Well, the Leeward Reaches are quite far from any centers of civilization" @Leroy Spindels said. "Not a cosmopolitan center like Ypsilanti Station. So you're bound to get some stares. But don't you worry. Reachers like to keep their distance!" The soggy, teetering catwalks at this station had plenty of foot traffic, but people were clearing a path for us. Flouncey, the crotchety old shopkeeper and I, and @Claira with her little five-legged fur pig on her shoulders. Lots of...(READ MORE)

Captain Vex

The nails are mostly used for killing vampires. First of all, they’re the only thing sharp enough to penetrate a vampire’s crystal hux, and the only thing that’ll do ‘em in once they do. It’s the nanites, which are made by monks and nuns and made to transform the Ultimate Darkness into Light. Which blows them right up. So there’s a lot of close contact at a Fingershade wedding. As a security measure. The nanites are harmless if you’re not a vampire. That little scratch is just...(READ MORE)

Rose Nomenclature

I didn't need the glasses to tell me these were automatic mannequins. They weren't hiding it. Not in the gentle chiming bells of their voices, not in the whirring of the knives from their wrists and fingertips, and not refraining at all from spinning their heads a full 360 degrees or 90 degrees on their hips. They marched in such precision it was if they were part of a single machine, and as they escorted me to the bridge. "MzzzzzzzNomenklaturek..kk..k..." whirred the automatic man...(READ MORE)

Allan Ward

"And here it comes, Jay. In all its magnificent glory." "That's right Allan. The hangar doors are parting..." "That's over 120 feet of hangar doors, for the folks listening at home, Jay" "It certainly is, Allan, And the morning sun seems to be rising from the exact perfect spot to light up the ship before the doors are fully open. A single, glorious golden shaft of light, gently caressing the curve of the envelope..." "Well they build them...(READ MORE)

Bretenda J

Crate 969. Not sure why it rates special containment. It's packed tightly with slim volumes, each with a date range on its spine and cover, and each short chapter within it is dated as well. I picked one at random and opened it: Jemma was packing up her things. "It's a new page in our lives," she said. "The most exciting adventure we ever imagined!" "I just think it would be different if we had a choice." "I think the science is pretty clear on that...(READ MORE)

Reema White Antelope

"Yes, @Ran Pleasing, I'm still here." "Oh, thank goodness captain. I thought I'd lost you in the darkness." "Yes, well, that's just it! Here, tie this to your buckle. Make sure it's tight." Our hands meet in the darkness, and I hand her the end of the rope. "I went back for it," I said. "Totally dumb of me to forget. It's the only way we'll find our way back." "We turn back when we run out?" Ran asked. "I brought...(READ MORE)

Lady Bast

"There's debris coming through, captain." "Anything we can't handle?" "Looks like... some plant material, dirt.... part of what looks like it was a structure, maybe a barn. Oh, and a body." "A body? Alive?" "Hard to tell captain. But it looks like we'll come right up to it." "Get the rigsmen to the catwalks with the hooks and see if you can bring it in. Helm, get us through that aperture before it closes." "Aye ma...(READ MORE)

Salty John

"By god it is an island! Look through the glass! There! Between the waves!" "You're right! We're saved!" "The sooner we're off this leaky lifeboat the better. Grab an oar!" "Wait, there's something funny about that island..." "ANY island will do, man! We need water! Cocoanuts! Let's row!" "Hold on. Take another look. It's swarming with... small airships?" "Lemme see that..." "Or giant bees. Wasps.&quo...(READ MORE)
