Juli Gallant

Rudy says he can get us in to a Fingerfates wedding he knows a cousin of on Bexdor, our next stop, and that a Fingerfates wedding is a thing everybody should see once in their lives, what with the fire eaters and live food and traditional costumes. I said sure I'm game maybe @sara granger too. Broke another nail today. Bad for business the Captain says but then why don't I get a job on the bridge running the radio or something and not moving crates of Erroneous Nail Discovery Kits all day. S...(READ MORE)

Egregore 7/7/2025 11:29pm

Rose Nomenclature

As big as the Egregore is, I could always find some place to hide myself. But I didn't want these bozos to trash the place looking for me. So I tucked Mweek away behind a false bookshelf, and I tucked the googles and Madam Zita's Enchanted Crystal Ball in there too, and of course "The Traits, Features, Characteristics, Peculiarities, Mannerisms, Qualities, and Attributes of the Hymergian Man-Fungus," with fold-out illustrations intact. Too many troublesome items I'd gathered on this ad...(READ MORE)

SMILEYS BASEMENT 7/5/2025 10:46pm

Sharkskin 44

I didn't see what all these instant breakfast toys were going to do for us. "But they bring so much joy to the little children!" @Gabardine said, balancing the tiny figures on its sleeves. It was clear Gabardine was starting to lose it. Thread count degradation from traversing the PERC, now becoming slowly unwound in Smileys Basement. A basement already filled with smileys. And so many rooms, their big doors sliding open and shut, seemingly at random... but could there be a patt...(READ MORE)

Hey! Giant girl! Knock knock! Let me out of this jar! *knock knock knock* Up here! Third shelf to the right! *knock knock knock* No! Come back!...(READ MORE)

Ran Pleasing

"Ooof!" "Sorry Captain," I said, "but I really can't see a thing." "That's quite all right," said the captain. "Understandable in the circumstances." We were making our way down what felt like a steep mountain face, smooth as obsidian, but our crampons and picks could shatter their way into it and give us traction. "Forgive, me captain," I said, "but remind me again why we couldn't bring a torch?" The captain wa...(READ MORE)

Capt. Frank Clarence

“I’m ready to flip the switch. You sure those kids are all tied off good?” I turned back to Herb’s barn and took look at the kids. They were double checking their knots. “Yeah, they’re ready,” I answered. “Tied them off myself. Now what?” Herb adjusted his googles and peered off over the field. “I told you,” said Herb, back to his most querulous self. “We’re going to find that Bloomspice boy. Now, you go back and tie yourself off on the end of that rope. Then...(READ MORE)

SS Evergreen 6/27/2025 10:58pm

johnkeely

Worm doctor, worm whisperer, worm wrangler... the captain's taken to calling me lots of different names, but The Cheese Man as we call him its happy to let me forget my engine room duties and concentrate on the worms, who I'll admit I share a special connection with. The first generation of elder worms passed and the first generation of Draco Lumbricina (Flying Worms) were ready to take to the air. It was all natural for the worms--I'd only observed the process through mind-to-mind transfer w...(READ MORE)

starfilly

took off in a hurry in the middle of the night, then found a little hollow we could land and strip off all the bee-striping so as not to be identified but either those hymenoptera roadies were too stoned or just didn't care because it doesn't seem like we're being followed or chased but still captian @Biran wants us out of here as soon as we don't look like giant bee but should we just ride out blasted down primer or give the ship another look entirely? nik, rik, and chik have plenty of paints f...(READ MORE)

Murk Toadingham

"So, ya see," I says. "It's the muck what keeps us invisible. To them that lives in Zigardel." The fairies twittered amongst themselves. "Whaddaya goin' and tellin' 'em something like that for?" "You heard the fairy," I says. "There's been a kidnapping!" "Nobody goes inside Zigardel and comes back alive." "What about Scum Mulligan? When he got kidnapped?" I says. "Well sure, he was bathing without his mu...(READ MORE)

The Sadie Hawkins 6/21/2025 9:56pm

Billy Nails

Well kid, when ol’ Billy Nails told you the Captain would be back, he wasn’t fibbin! But I’ll admit I wasn’t picturing him showin’ up in the barn out of nowhere. Not that we haven’t seen our share of weird business on The Sadie Hawkins. The crew is rarin’ for a real Sky Sailor victory feast but the Captain wants to keep things quiet till we get this all sorted out, and Starry and Hettie still ain’t accounted for. But the Captain’s got a bit of concern and it doesn’t bode...(READ MORE)

Luz Dunkel

"And so it's got to be just right around here, just a little ways back," I explained. Captain Rose of the Shaken Mullet Top peered out the big windows of the ship. "Well, you see, we don't travel like that. We move quite a bit... faster..." "But the owl's nest I fell out of was just a mile or so back. And Psychic High School, and my gingerbread house. We're right in the neighborhood." "The Owl's Office is in a whole different kind of space than we...(READ MORE)

Billy Sabab

"They are really shrewd negotiators," I said, "It's those eyes..." said Shipman Eva. "And the way they twitter their claws." "And that we have no other choice," Eva said. "They could tear their way through the ship in no time." I looked back at the doll headed spider creatures, conferring in a huddle. "You can see why they call them Haunted Dolls," I said. "At least it's not really out of our way. It might even be...(READ MORE)

Jan Janssson

The four-dimensional paperclips protruding from the wall in my basement man cave are definitiely interfering in the reception of parades on my big screen TV. We watched the big military parade yesterday ready to see the ICBMs and the soldiers goose stepping in their crisp dress blues and the electric shock cables and it turned out to be more like the national guard walking down main street on the Fourth of July! They looked just like regular everyday people driving old army surplus down to the V...(READ MORE)

Sour Pineapple

"Hello Mandy." "Aw, Piney!" She gives me a big sticky sentient slime hug. "Take a seating mold and let me get you a peptide." The 8063 seeding station is pretty empty. Seems like Mandy's got it all to herself. "Where is everybody?" I ask. Mandy returns with the bulbs and a couple straws. "Oh, you know. With the robots getting smarter and the annual efficiency targets, main office says 'do with less!' and keeps cutting staff. Really, it's...(READ MORE)

S. Glenn

Seeing Becky threw me off, but I had a schedule to keep. I left the vacuum train station and headed across the plaza. Morning commuters were heading all different ways. Even a group of small children in uniforms walking in two neat rows. Things were busy, but not crowded. The Orbital Living Structure socio-engineers kept things orderly. Growth was strictly controlled, visitors were all registered, and people's daily paths were largely predictable. Within statistical generalities. The occasional...(READ MORE)
