The Never Ending Quest - Episode 3111

I must admit, I never expected this.

I've read sonnets about it.

I've seen plays about it, on countless worlds, and had scoffed at the very concept about it.

Then-on the VERY night I waa supposed to fulfill my birthright as the Third Shoggoth-it happened. I.....fell in....love.

This is....a weird and exciting thing for me, and I want it, though it forever bars me from who I had been. Frankly, now that I've seen into the soul of my love, I....find I abhor the very ideals I once embraced. Indeed, the prophecy has been fulfilled, and the Cycle forever halted. There will be no more Shoggoth. And my heart signs in joy at the very thought!

I am now wholly human, and can never go back to what I had been (not that I really WANT to go back).

On a different note, what's happening now I never expected either.

The old neighborhood on this world...has changed.....for the worse! The old me would have thrilled at the oppressiveness in the air....the gloom. Now.....

Well, let me show you what I'm talking about.

When Frederigo and I had woven a new reality about us.....I doubt that either had this in mind....

"Oh man....." One green haired punk moans as beads of sweat appear on his forehead. "The rentacops finally deemed it fit to pay this place a visit! I don't want to go to the Reorientation centers!"

"Frankly, our CO won't be to happy about this, either." a relatively normal looking woman says from the back.

"Sounds like it's time for evasion tatics!" another laughes. "Always see if there's more than one way out, just in case!"

Fred and Mirya only hear this in passing as they head back towards the back entrance as this is happening, but then the relatively normal seeming youngsters call out to them.

"Hey, you don't want to go out there!" the young woman calls to Fred and Mirya. "They have the club surrounded."

"But we know a SPECIAL way out." A man says, waving to a closet that has....a hole in the floor which reeks of the sewers. "Granted this isn't the finest way out, but it's the best way....considering......"

"Oh," the woman says before jumping down into the hole. "Just in case you're wondering why we're helping.....we saw how you danced....and that showed some guts....considering how out of place it was in that hip hop place. Gave you ten cools points just for that, guys. Shows you're not a wannabe like those boys and girls back yonder. Be a shame to see people like yourselves be punished for just being out for a good time. Hate to see such folk like you be whitewashed.....so......" The lady jumps into the hole, and vanishes from sight.

Screams and shouts can be heard behind Velus, Fred, and Mirya. That, and the sound of thunks and thuds.

  1. There was only one thing TO do.....

Go Back
