“What do you mea-” Roquen would have finished his sentence, but the ceiling above the two of them began convulsing. Looking up, he mouthed some unintelligible phrase before his body tensed just slightly. Had he been paying attention, he would have seen Eridan do much the same. Just about to leave to investigate, he was stopped by one of his men, who was babbling something about being under attack. This did not bode well. After ensuring that this prisoner was secured, he made a passing comment about having to postpone their chess matc

Great. More blood that needed to be mopped up off the floor. Sighing softly, the victor of this most recent strife collapsed onto her couch. How many more lives were these people willing to give up before they learned that she was not going to die that easily? Apparently as many as it took to kill her. Groaning, she rolled onto her side, laying her trident down next to the couch to try and get a bit more sleep when a noise nearly scared her out of her skin. Looking for the offending noise, she found her husktop making a second noise. Two people were trying to talk to her, in the middle of the day, no less. Another sigh slipped past her lips a

A soft thud alerted an otherwise silent room that someone was trying to get in. Another soft thud and the door gave way, sliding open without a squeak. A switch was flipped and lights flickered on, revealing a rather messy Captain's quarters, and a rather disheveled captain in the doorway. Walking fully into the room, the door slid closed behind her. With a grimace to her desk, the woman walked over to her couch and collapsed onto it. She was sleepy, but her body needed rest. After a moment or two, she shrugged off the long, dark grey coat she had put on over her usual attire, revealing her blue symbol. She flung the fabric across the room an

The New World: Chapter Eight
Another slow night, another dead-end lead, the neophyte was about ready to tear her hair out. It wasn't made any better by the fact that she had this sinking feeling that time was of the essence. Sitting back in her chair, she removed her red glasses and sighed, rubbing her equally red eyes. She was about to get up to check on a few other things when her computer pinged, telling her someone wanted to talk to her. Great. Pulling up Trollian, she quickly found that the person who wanted to talk to her was not going to be pleased to hear from her at the moment, as she had yet to find anything.
After a brief conversation, and a promise to tell h

A soft sigh was the only sound in the throne room as the young girl tried to relax, as impossible as she knew it would be. She closed her eyes for a moment, trying to focus on something, anything; but the thing she ended up focusing on only set her heart on edge. She hadn't heard from Eridan since that day, almost half a perigree ago. She had set one of her trusted friends on his trail, but she hadn't hear back from her yet, either. Giving, up, she pulled her husktop out of her sylladex, opening it and clicking on a trolltag

The New World: Chapter Six
Being on the run took more energy than he had been anticipating. A perigree of it had left him sleep-deprived and stressed out. Not to mention overly paranoid of anything that moved. Needless to say, when the lock to his hive-stem got blown out, he nearly collided with the ceiling. After a brief firefight, he managed to break for the window and out-run them on the fire escape, a bullet grazing his leg on the way down. He managed to catch a glimpse of the Cavalreapers they sent to check out the disturbance before he had to flee. After all, the government doesn’t tend to like it when random firefights start in hive-stems.

"FUCK YOU, I CAN BE THE CAPTAIN IF I WANT TO."

"SHUT UP, CAPTOR."
A sigh being his only response, Sollux simply left the area before the urge to hit his head on something repeatedly grew any worse. Karkat was difficult to deal with in good circumstances, and after a perigree locked up with him in a small metal ship, things were getting near insufferable. Luckily for all concerned, freedom was nearly in their grasp.
The world they were travelling to was rather land-locked. There wa

Another night, another sleepless day. This was becoming far too regular an occurrence for the young girl's liking. She had barely been able to sleep through an entire day since the competition day. Ever since she became the new Condesce. There wasn't a single troll in the empire who liked the way that had happened, with the exception of the one who pulled the trigger. Unfortunately for Feferi, Eridan was nowhere to be found. She was left sitting in a throne that the previous Condesce must have had designed for lounging in, as it was the only way to get comfortable in it, and wondering what had become of her friends. She hadn't been able to ta

Plans were being made. Yet more irons were in the fire that ever before, and the one behind it all was currently lounging in front of her computer, debating whether or not to send the post she had typed up. Everything else had all fallen into place. Now it all hinged on whether or not he would help her. Surely her neighbor would be agreeable, right? It’s not like she hadn’t asked him to build things before. The only problem was the scale of what she needed this time. She had a limited amount of time to get this done, and she had put this off until last minute. Not one of her best moves in the world. But she still had to try.

It was early morning as a group of shadows crept along in the pre-dawn light. They had a long way to go and a very small window of time to do it in. Gritting his teeth, one of the men paused in his hurried footsteps to check behind him. Had Tav still not gotten used to walking? He was being so slow. Turning around he moved back to where his friend was. "COME ON, FUCKASS, YOU'RE GOING TO GET US CAUGHT."
The long-horned male looked up, wincing at the harsh hiss of the other's voice. "sORRY, kARKAT, i STILL CAN'T GET USED TO, uHM, uSING MY LEGS PROPERLY, iT'S BEEN SO LONG, yOU KNOW?"
