TBOS Round 2.7 Outside the range of Terri's pepper spray paintballs, the newcomer pulled the helmet from her head, shakin' out the mane of red hair.  It was nice that it still functioned as an air filter, but G'damn was it ever stuffy in there.  Flume leaned the rifle o'er one shoulder, still glarin' at the alien who had shot her in the chest.

That had hurt.

The li'l Voopers, who she noted also hadn't been spared ridiculous garb, quailed 'gainst each other, ear coverings clamped close over their sensitive nerves.  She looked back at Terri.  Her eyes were still a little bloodshot, bright orange 'round the edges.

Terri coughed.  "It's not the paint, it's t
TBOS 2.6 Market was a sad affair.
They entered the town all quiet-like, drivin' their stock through a number of pens that had been starved for cattle since the 'Vests had begun their raids three years ago.  
They were paid, and retired to the shelter of a saloon.
Which was also wonderfully Westernish and just like in the movies.

Terri sat at the weathered table, nursin' a sarsaparilla (which tasted suspiciously like root beer) and eatin' more o' them random Jell-O cubes.

"The problem, as I see it," she said, "Is that everyone is so scared of the 'Vests, no one even tries to oppose them."
The two children at her table nodded.
"But today, it didn
TBOS Round 2.5 "That done be a shadow-loathing," the drover said.

Terri was still feelin' the anger and gloom of the morning's tragedy, but it had been subdued by the peculiar creature that had, durin' one of their pauses to let the herd rest, crawled up beside her and coiled into a moody ball.

Terry cocked her head.  She touched it; its body was extrememly soft.  She was a little taken aback when its head snapped up and it gave her what might have been the most hateful glare she done ever been on the receivin' end of.

"Don't pet me," it said.  
"Where'd it come from?"  Terri asked.  She was rather fascinated by it, this third species of alien.
"I don'
tbos 2.4 Terri gnashed her teeth.  She was quite 'customed to thieves, and not at all in the practice of surrenderin' to 'em.
"We can stop them," she growled.  "This isn't right."
"Ain't nobody stops them," the child answered, angrily.  
"They come from the sky," his sister explained.  She was speakin' quickly.  More of the aliens had dropped, firin' into the herd seemingly at random, working with ruthless efficiency.

The three of them ducked as a saucer passed overhead.

"E'er since they found us, they come, they take what they want, and they go.  No one comes back. Not ever."
"What do they do with them?" Terri asked.
"They's slave traders, mos
tbos 2.3 Flume had gotten the impression Smarmadine didn't 'preciate her thinkin' out loud at him.  She'd kept quiet all morning, not wantin' to annoy him.  But she was getting' tired and the solitude was eating at her normally overcrowded mind.
"Do you think the clothes mean anything, Shadow-Loathing?"
"No," he said.  
Flume sat down on a stump in the shade of a caprock.  They'd wandered into canyon country, which was hotter than the open plain, but offered more shade.

Flume knew there weren't no where to go, but she had picked up her pace, loping on her hands and toes along the high country, tasting the air for any change.  Most of the scents we
tbos 2.2 A good twenty miles or so, in the heart of the empty eternity, Smarmadine had been spared the indignity of findin' himself decked in Old West-style accessories, probably due to his lack of any clothin' to start out with.  At one point, as if someone petulant and done determined had been simply hell bent on finding somethin' for him, he had noticed a big black and white feather on top of his head.  He shook it off, wrinklin' his muzzle.

Flume, meanwhile, was not so unchanged.
The one-piece space suit that had been like a second skin to her for so many years was gone, replaced by all manner of uncivilized attire, and she did hope she would ge

EDIT/ Halloween 2007
Oh.. my.. spirits. i WON.
[link]
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love you all.
End EDIT?

Well, let's just get this over with.
This loverly colored bit of insanity is my submission to the DreamKeepers Halloween contest. I get a sticker!
Pictured are Wisp and Scuttles the underlord, my favorite nightmares, as Sizz-Lor and Violet Incredible (No, i swear on Avalon I did not pick Invader Zim and the Incredibles in order to suck up to the Lilies just because they like them. i swear.) I even added a happy Shloogor (i cant spell in irken) Dark ryuu-neko! Isn't that gweat? Obviously the nightmares keep darkies. What else are they for?
I WAS going to add my other favorite, Tendril [link] as Jack Sparrow (he's already got the dread locks, lolz) but I FAILED at drawring him. I also FAILED at drawing Nabonidus as Aku, and I FAILED Namah and Whip as Nabonidus and Tendril (the heroes dressed like villians! I'm a flamin genious!! hahahahahahahacough).
I highly doubt I have any chance against all the slick, TECHNOLOGY artist out there (grumblegrumble) but wth. Free stickers :)
The only thing i did't reference was that spatula. Stupid, stupid, stupid StarSeal! WHY didn't you reference the spatula? WHYYYY????

Wow...the face, coupled with the all-caps, hard to read exclamation, just work perfectly. I'd hate to meet someone who's actually eaten 50 pounds of candy corn, because I imagine I'd have a hard time keeping up with them. :XD:

Cute! ^^

Hey, I was wondering, do you think I could possibly write a story involving Suvil and Alice? Like, when Suvil ISN'T trying to eat someone's liver, is she fairly nice?

Yeah, go ahead! i'm flattered :)
when she's not homicidal or hungry, she acts like a cross between a young girl and a puppy. Of course she has serious moments, usually when she's thinking about her past life, but she's typically nice and happy, and really goes at it licking her lollipop. She also really enjoys listening to people arguing for some reason.

TBOS Round 5.7 The crime scene had not changed.  Reinald watched Fourteen kneel besides the chalk outline, and with her back to them, extent a crooked forearm alongside it, as if measuring the length.  None of them spoke as Anna and Reinald left her to it to look over the bullet, burns and teeth, trying to anticipate what sort of mystery was meant to be set up despite them all knowing the ending already.

"Hey, so… whenever we've done whatever we're supposed to, we're going to get divided again," Flume said after a time.

"Most likely," Reinald agreed.

"So I guess… good luck, if you two go on ahead.  And I'm glad we could at least have understoodTBOS Round 5.7 by *Star-Seal
TBOS Round 5.6 Reinald hesitated only a moment before he gave Anna a meaningful look and followed her, pressing his teeth together at the heavily implied threats.

"Why are we walking away?" Anna hissed, glaring over her shoulder as a black-furred butler appeared to reshelf their work.

"Because the last time I declined the books prompt to be a monster, it made my friend into one and made us kill him," Fourteen answered.  "What is predictable in murder stories?"

Reinald looked to Anna, remembering her horror movie comment.  She snorted.  "The first person to leave the group gets killed first," she said.  "The murdereTBOS Round 5.6 by *Star-Seal
TBOS Round 5.5 Reinald didn't see much use in looking through novels, but then again, he supposed they were in a book, after all.
While he and Anna looked over them Fourteen returned to the small shelves and poked through them. After several minutes, she said, "Did you ever fight a big animal with water?"

"…Yeah," he said, looking up.  She held a thin volume out to him.

It was illustrated in graceful inks, in the style of an artist mimicking the oriental aesthetic.  Frowning, he closed it to read the title.  He looked through the pictures, reading a paragraph here and there.

TBOS Round 5.4 It was in the library that she felt a potential to get a hold of the crystallizing emotions inside her and try to think rationally.  It was of course nothing like anything at home; who grew paper trees in spaceships after all- but she knew what it was, and it was a store of knowledge, and that at least was familiar.

She lifted a hand and trailed it over the spines, feeling their fabric, leather, or cardboard bindings.  Her fingertips lingered at the top of one for a moment and then pulled, gently, so it started to come free from among its fellows.  Flume watched it, holding it up half out of the shelf, then let her hand fall.  The book smackTBOS Round 5.4 by *Star-Seal
TBOS Round 5.3 The new style of the ship was a hokey hybrid of her familiar universe and that of the ones the others had come from, which was nothing new.  Flume set her jaw as she stalked through the room, keeping her senses open for any hint that the Book might have an unpleasant development set up for her.

She was going to look for the murderer and solve everything, alright.  But if that fucking stack of paper thought it could impress her by killing someone off it had miscalibrated sorely.  It would take more than that to get her traipsing along in docile bliss for its stupid stories.
