Rory didn’t suffer all that much from nostalgia. He didn’t #yearn for games he had played in the past because they were all superseded by bigger, better games now.
One day, even this game would become obsolete and a new one would take its place, but not yet. Not today, or for some time.

Not all that long ago, Dylan only had to care about avoiding Faction patrols, to deliver his cargo on time and intact. That all seemed so long ago now that it could have been in a different lifetime.
He could only #yearn for those days and hope they would come again, but he doubted it.

The game was just about the only place, other than with Katie in the real world, where Rory could allow himself to show any kind of emotions (other than, obviously, absolute terror at pretty much everything).
He could be fun. #Jovial, even. Well, maybe not, but he could laugh nervously.

He was about to shove that fork all the way in, but those screams froze him again; this was the third time. He was at a loss for what to do, wondering who thought it'd be funny to give #sentience to a cake.
What a great birthday. 🩷🧙♂⚔ 🪐📚

Yesterday's experiment failed miserably.
We promised subject 23-o he'd be out of the program after this last procedure; however, all of his upper body was severely #malformed in the process
We have yet to inform him, but reintegration into society may be impossible.

The distress signal led Dylan to a distant moon around a #malformed planet at the very edge of the system.
A ship, obviously, broken, destroyed. Little left of it or the pilot. The other ship, the Enemy ship? That interested Dylan.
Except as soon as he neared it, the ship blew up.

There weren’t all that many of them. Gathered around in silent #vigil for a comrade, a fellow smuggler, sometime enemy. She didn’t deserve to die like that. Alone.
Nor did these people deserve what Dylan was going to say. They needed to hear it.
They were becoming an endangered species.

I just hit that 'block' button—
her blizzard was too ardent,
its gust blew my friends away,
forlorn in this field of snow
heated, #seethed with
bafflement, with discomfiture,
like a sailor lost at sea,
trying to find his way,
in a starless night.

Rory didn’t usually like to mix sci-fi with fantasy, but the developers had done it so well within this game. An area outside the rest of the world where a series of experiments far ahead of their time had wrought #bionic beings.
Mostly just the arms and legs, but everything has a start.

Despite knowing very well that it was only a game, Rory often caught himself in bouts of emotion he really shouldn’t feel for something ostensibly not real.
Smothered in #abject terror at certain situations, flooded with excitement, or to care for things that were only … things, after all.

Dylan had the comms running the whole time he made the slight repairs and adjustments to Magpie’s systems.
Toiling away on one of the ship’s #wings, he became ever more frustrated as more and more obvious signs were passed off as freak accidents and the attentions of raiders or pirates.

Storms had ravaged this area of the planet where Dylan had stashed his safe house, kilometres from anywhere, hidden, with a good, almost all-round view. He could sit it out here for some time with the rations he had.
He could be as #grumpy as he wanted. The Enemy wasn’t getting him here.

'What happened to grandpa?'
'Who told you?'
'Well, yesterday he stopped by my place. Not sure how he got the address. Anyway, he was always so #grumpy, and suddenly shows there like "here's Mr. Happy!" and insists I give yo—why are you crying?'
'He died last week.'

Zorla sits next to me, trying to adopt a parental tone. It comes across as condescending and creepy.
"Kaya knows the cost of defying me."
His words sound so sinister, I feel like a fly caught in a #spider-web.
He continued,
“I was surprised to learn you have foster parents, Montor."

Blocks of wood were scattered about. I grabbed one. You know, children. Later, my skin felt funny, so I inspected my arm: one #spider. Two.
"Don't move, you could die," joked my biological father.
I was paralyzed. He laughed at me. Since then, I have been arachnophobic

No matter how much, or how often, Dylan reviewed his own map of the attacks, he couldn’t see any pattern to them. No #spider web creeping out from some central point. No grid. Nothing.
Seemingly about as random as they appeared, but without any cause or reason. The question remained. Why?

He entered the room and switched the lights on. From the closet peeked out a woman: holes for eyes, black hair windswept by a storm, white dress. Nothing extraordinary here, just Jenny pulling another #prank
"Hun, come help me real quick!" called Jenny from the kitchen.

It looked like a pixie without wings. A little rough around the edges, sharp teeth. But it wasn’t a pixie, it was a #brownie, and they weren’t nearly as nice and playful.
Still, Rory didn’t want to kill it so tried to walk Kluhm away, but the tiny creature wasn’t alone as others emerged.
