[The world was one of a constant, strange, cyclical war.

When the night fell on the highest moon of the furthest month, a Howling Storm took the planet, cut its cities off from each other and the visitors from their homes, When the Storm's first whining, hot wind struck, the imposing gates of the iridescent metal of this world would close, folding up and over, in a wall only Qlipoth could love.

The thud of bodies, the scrape of claws, mandibles and fangs added to the cacophony that the setting of the red sun provoked. It ebbed in the morning, but never enough to be safe. Never enough for the walls to come down.

In defiance, however, in these little hubs of survival, the nightlife was something quite impressive. Loud music played, lights blared, the night market was a roar of throats - the call of sellers and the flirtation of buyers.

All to carry on like a shield wasn't holding back the certain death of nearly everyone in the spaceport.

But you're here, waiting for the tired relief of morning. For the spaceport to open back up in a week.

It should have already ended. It SHOULD have been open yesterday.

But the Storm is longer than it's ever been here...]

I don't have a stellaron. There's no fragmentum or other corruption on this ship, or on me.
eggshell: (you call those brain cells?)

Denial isn't really a good look on you. I suppose the Swarm came after this ship for absolutely no reason then?
vitainmorte: (Achilles achilles)

The swarm that appeared with you? Obviously you're the one who attracted them.

[ turns to leave the cockpit ]
eggshell: (you sure about that)

[This is the sound of him pressing things that perhaps should not be pressed.]

And I suppose the fragmentum that swallowed the port blossomed out of absolutely nothing?
vitainmorte: (then miss it)

[ TURNS BACK AROUND TO SPIN THE SEAT AWAY FROM THE CONTROLS ]

-- Whatever you brought to that place, with your own corruption, or whatever you were hunting has nothing to do with me.
eggshell: (i dont bite)

[The seat spins around to reveal Dan Feng sprawled on it, tailtip fluff sweeping the floor, amused.]

It could have been me. But it could have been you. When you go home to roost, what if you corrupt your haven too? It is not like you to take that chance.
vitainmorte: (Can I hide in you)

[personal profile] vitainmorte 2024-09-23 09:56 pm (UTC)(link)
I spent many years in my home, and traveling, to no ill effect until you appeared.

[ stomps down on his tail tip as it sweeps over her shoes, irritated. ]

This is your fault. The swarms arrival was your fault. That the port was lost was your fault. The only reason I don't splatter your brain matter all over this chair is that I care more about the cleanliness of my ship than I do any inconvenience I cause you.

I should call the Yaoqing. I bet they'd love to have you.
