Ranaan glowered her out of the room and flopped back down on the bed, turning to stare out the porthole. He watched Margo stomp down the gangplank, with Peter ahead of her unsubtly at knifepoint. He pulled the pillow over his head and moaned. How had he gotten into this sort of life? He was...

Larik listened intently as Nathril translated, describing the cities and nature of the world from which he had come. Her color patches glowed dreamily. "I would like very much to see this world someday, would you tell him so?" Larik asked, and Nathril relayed her message to the human man.

I have an insane craving to do a modern-day version of the Orpheus/Eurydice greek myth, preferably with more than one partner but one person willing to play multiple characters would work too. The original myth goes something like this: Orpheus is a demi-god, the son of the sun god Apollo...

Ranaan glanced out the porthole. The settlement--if it could be called such--of Pirate's Cove was a squalid collection of leaning, moldering buildings. He could hear the commotion from the taverns and brothels and streets from here, and wrinkled his nose. "I think it would not be to my taste...

For the world is hollow and I have touched the sky

The gym was an impressive building in the warehouse district of Republic City. Towering to five levels, it contained several different training areas, meeting rooms, element-specific terrain training, deluxe locker rooms, and two full-size arenas. I felt a smile creeping across my face as we...

"Nathril, will you tell me how to ask him what earth is like?" Larik asked, and Nathril told her the proper phrasing. Larik sat up straighter and looked at Stoli with her bright sea-green eyes all alight with excitement. "Tell me of your homeworld," she pronounced carefully, noting some of the...

Nathril looked troubled, and Larik wound herself around the linguist's arm. "What did he say?" she murmured, and Nathril gently stroked her friend's head frills. "What did he say?" "That humans are very diverse, and that there is often unrest among them. But those here wish to be friends to...

Nathril's color patches shimmered happily, and Larik was all but bursting with curiosity to know what they were speaking about. They both seemed to be enjoying their conversation, and she ached to know what they were saying. Nathril finally gave in and turned to her to relay Stoli's description...

Nathril took note of the name. "I am looking forward to interacting with your linguists. They have a reputation for their skill." She noticed the way he bared his teeth at Larik--an expression of happiness or general contentedness--and Larik nudged her again. She sighed. "I apologize for the...

"Russian? I have yet to undertake any of your language, my apologies." Larik nudged Nathril's arm, hoping for a translation, but the other Krilak waved her away. She hadn't spoken with many of the humans yet, and this was a wonderful opportunity for her. "Your pronunciation of our greeting...

"Larik?" She started and looked up to find a tall, broad-chested human standing at the side of her table. His hair was a dark brown, his chiseled jaw darkened by a five o'clock shadow. He was looking at her with grey-violet eyes, inquisitive and handsome, and she felt a surprised flutter in...

"Oompf!" Larik shook herself out as she recovered from accidentally running headlock into someone. A disapproving purple-marked face glowered at her, and she beamed. "Oh! Apologies, Nathril." "Why are you running about?" the linguist asked grumpily, and Larik grabbed her friend's hands with...

Ranaan spent a very uncomfortable night in his hammock over Emilio's (noticeably empty) bunk. He dreamed of strange voices and unfamiliar coastlines, and awoke with a start, disoriented and confused, at the sound of boots clomping into the room. "Morning sailor!" Margo crowed, and he squinted...

Ranaan looked down at the floor, taking a deep breath. "Fine. Fine. Alright." Emilio glared at Peter. "Give me one good reason."

Ranaan frowned at her, a bit hurt by her dismissal. "Either put me back or let me come with you! You can't seem to make up your mind. Do you enjoy tormenting me? I just wanted to go home, but you dragged me into this! You owe me compensation!" Emilio fixed a skeptical look on Peter. "And I...
