I'm always real nice to the new initiates at the Sugar Pine School. So few of them will make it, so when they wash out I want to make sure they don't leave hatin' the place. They got to be able to get back to their hometowns and have something nice to say about it. About the dream, about what can be accomplished. So I make sure to have them up to my treehouse for waffles and coffee at least once, so they can see it's not all snapped twigs and sweat and gettin' yelled at by the Masters. I want 'e...(READ MORE)

Isabella Isoptera

I learned the hard way it's better to just go along with it. All of it. I keep my revolutionary dogma to myself, and enter all the pageants and contests they put in front of me. Also lots of volunteer work because that really helps in your applications. Military service seems like the next thing, then go to law school, and then eventually run for office. But for tonight, it's all about taking home the crown in the Hive Mound 255982 Junior Mizz Bee contest. Just wait till they see my talent p...(READ MORE)

Thank the Ornithomorphic Gods the girls got the Angels to calm down. I don't know there's anything in our universe that could stand up against them. Except the President's twins apparently. The Angels have taken up position all around the Sector 7 Containment Control facility, towering above the industrial reclamation infrastructure, making the mountains puny in the distance. Who knew they grew like that? The area around the epicenter is completely destroyed, and where the Angels have decide...(READ MORE)

"zzzzz...crkkkkk....zzzzzz ..." The white noise is soothing to my ear, frankly. The beach, the surf, the clouds and sky, and the threshold tone on my headset as I sweep the loop over the sands. I don't care if I never find anything--which is good because usually I never do. Just that static hum from the metal detector as it reads the beach, the static visual hum of the waves coming in, the clouds moving almost too slowly to see... "zzzzz...crkkkkk....zzzzzz ... "...(READ MORE)

Jimmy Three-hands

Well Jimmy Three-hands found himself in a terrible position. Jimmy Three-hands isn't one to lose hope, but this had to be pretty much the worst trouble he'd ever found himself in before. The Araceli had gone down, and not just in a nice soft crash landing in a field of cotton candy no! This time ol' Jimmy Three-hands had ridden the Araceli down through tree branches and twigs and reeds and thorns and briar and blackberry and every flavor of hook and cut that nature has to offer. The beautiful...(READ MORE)

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)

"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)

Mandy Pigtail

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)
