“But we should make every effort to make things comfortable for them!” “Boon, I agree-“ “Are you really telling me that camouflaging a trap is going to make it less likely for a koronok to get trapped by it?” “Boon!” Wish’s sharp tone was unexpected. He wasn’t one to snap, especially when engineering projects ...

Xeros and Dragons   Character Leadup: Sprigg     Chirp chirp. Chirp chirp. “Sprigg here.”“Hey Sprigg, I thought that was you.”“Thought what was me?” Sprigg turned and faced the holo. Sure enough, there was Meeko.“I spotted you going around the food market the other day.”Sprigg rolled her eyes and started digging under her bed, pulling out boxes of supplies to sort through. “Oh yeah? Why didn’t yo...

ARC Survey 008   Start Recording   Hey, this is easy! My name is Boon, designation X-163. This ARC survey’s about what we do for hatch day and I’m the only one of my roomies that goes and does a lot, so I’m taking this one! On my hatch day, I forcibly take a few of my friends and go out to a water park! I know Meeko’s whole thing is water anyways, but the last couple of times he’s still enjoyed himself, so I bring him anyways. Even Wish li...

Xeros and Dragons   Character Leadup: Glitch     “He was all alone and he didn’t have anybody caring for him!”“Boon, you basically kidnapped him! You scooped him off the streets and took him away from his guardians!”“I don’t have any guardians.”“Can you guys please be a little quieter?”“Sorry for yelling but I don’t know how else I’m supposed to get Boon to realize you can’t just snatch up kids off the s...

Xeros and Dragons   Character Leadup: Dr. Frankie     “Dr. Frankie?”“Yes?” Frankie spun around and immediately sighed. She didn’t recognize the Xero before her, and that usually meant that they had a business proposition. “What do you want?” The blue Xero flinched. “Er… hope I didn’t catch you on a bad day.”Frankie glanced over the other… doctor, it seemed. They had a lab coat, but the decorative pattern was diff...

Xeros and Dragons   Character Leadup: Ryker     Ryker almost didn’t hear the other Xero walking up behind him. He was occupied watching ships fly past, or park, or take off. Didn’t make much difference to him, just something to look at. “That was some kind of a mess, huh?” The newcomer said. Ryker didn’t turn his gaze, but his ears flicked in response. He grunted. “Okay, few words. I’ll be straight with you then.” That got Ryker’s...

ARC Survey: 007     Start Transmission:   ID X-312, Wish. Log entry for Arc Survey 7. For the new year, my wish is to make more friends. I feel like I’ve got plenty of stuff to do on my own. Video games, research, maintaining my aquariums and terrariums. But I don’t have anyone to really share it with. It feels lonely. I have other pl...

Fsssshhhhht. Fssht. Fssht. Fssht. Fsssssssssshhhhhhhhhhht. Akira's tall ears flicked with each sound, her little spray paint gun suppressing most of the noise but not perfectly. In the distance she could just hear the city's night life dying down. The sun was coming up, meaning the starry sky was almost faded, and the heat was quickly rising. This was one of the ideal times for her to practice her artwork, depending o...

The little Xero looked like he was half machine with how much gear he had on, plus his cylindrical toolbox. A lot of people didn't understand why he wanted the toolbox that way, but he had several reasons, not the least of which was the ability to roll it if he ever stuffed it with something heavy. He had his full engineering outfit, plus a filtration mask that resembled a rebreather. His belt had several ORBs clipped to it, and the various pockets on his trousers were stuffed with tools for ...

“...Please move.” The colorful, glowing Xero just sat for a moment, staring up at Rhys. It was hard to tell if he was just that shocked, or if it was admiration. Either case was irritating. “Seriously, this thing is heavy-”“Oh, gosh! Sorry!” The little one rolled and tumbled past Rhys’s legs. The older Xero shakily lowered down, letting the big, metal cylinder groan and creak until it touched down, now resting a...

“You seem stuck.”Wish jerked his head back and upward. His expression brightened at the sight of his older friend, Rhys. Well, one of his only friends. He fancied him as something of an older brother, but he didn’t dare say it out loud. That brightening didn’t last long though.“I can’t think of what to carve for my Lantern fruit!”“Uh, isn’t the Twilight Festival a few weeks out?” Rhys asked, taking a seat next to Wish at his table. They we...

“Ptew!” Stark perked his ears up, the tiny little sneeze from across the room all too audible to him. He glanced across the little cabin the two had found abandoned. In front of the fire, wrapped up in a blanket, and still shivering, Shirako was rubbing his nose. Within a moment, Stark we kneeling next to him with a rag. There wasn’t anything else to serve as a ...

“Ow! Watch the floof, it’s getting all caught up in it!”The little Xero could only laugh. “It’s not my fault you’ve got so much of it. I love that you just call it fluff outright.” Amusing as the interaction was for him, Ziggy was actually struggling to help get this costume on the alien. “I’ve heard it called fur, fluff, fuzz, hair, what have you. Never heard somebody use the word floof unironically.” ...

In the confines of his small home, Ziggy was almost completely curled around a dull, olive green lantern fruit nearly half of his own size. His fur was matted down in some places by little bits of yellow-colored goop and pulp, though most of that stuff was collected in chunks in a nearby bowl. He had no idea how many he’d done so far, some he’d already done by request, some he gave away as display example...
