The Revelation 7/17/2025 11:35pm

Phoenix Quinn

What ensued was a classic slapstick comedy routine of the three of us getting knocked about by automated baggage carts and flung into bins and onto conveyor belts. We'd entered a mechanized jungle, towers of tubes and pipes and lifts and ladders stretching over our heads, everything abuzz with movement and activity. After a minute, we got our footing. There was a rhythm to it. You needed to bend your knees a little. I tried talking, calling out something like "Wow what a place"...(READ MORE)

The Crystal Skull 7/15/2025 11:14pm

Mandy Pigtail

"And what about @Andrew?" I asked. "He may recover," said @Merlina the Magician. "Feed him only nuts and berries and water. No processed foods!" "Well, okay then." "Bon voyage!" "So long!" "See ya!" "Bye." "Are you sure you have the coordinates?" "Yup. Right here." "And all your provisions?" "Yes. Thank you again for the sandwiches." "My pl...(READ MORE)

The Eolas Anatolijus 7/13/2025 11:05pm

Whitney Micrathene

The upfront money from the lawyer was just slightly more than it took to get the Bubo into good enough shape to make it to Kle-hemet and back, with something heavy. "How 'bout some lunch, cap'n? This maintenance is hard work! Especially in the middle of the day, especially with this hot desert sun, and the lack of..." Ok the upfront money was entirely spent. "Zephyr Air Transport certified you said?" It was the lawyer. She was back early. "Check your watc...(READ MORE)

Eyes Without A Face 7/11/2025 11:27pm

Grace Gearhorn

"I guess I was expecting something... grander," I said. "It's the location the shopkeeper gave us," @Ensign Charmers said. "Didn't notice many other options on our way in." Up close, the Leeward Reaches lost their epic, glowing grandeur and had become something more fetid and murky. The substrate that was home to the bioluminescence became more and more diffuse, fuzzy and dissolving in the murk. The station the shopkeeper had directed us to was ramshackle, wit...(READ MORE)

prixxi 7/9/2025 10:32pm

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)

Phil Pringle

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)

The Metataxi 7/1/2025 11:56pm

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)

ol' big balloon 6/29/2025 7:34pm

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)

Razorcrest 6/25/2025 10:34pm

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)

Zap Colonize Epilog 6/23/2025 10:09pm

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)

Steampunk to hell 6/19/2025 11:16pm

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)
