Chatterbox: Inkwell

Et Tacet Solo Write 

Warning: I highly advise you to read this before you join the solo write, or if nothing else the last two posts. It will help enormously with your understanding of characters you create and the entire world this is built in. Shouldn’t take more than an hour, but if you don’t I may not accept your character (at least as an MC).

Have you ever looked up at the stars and seen something other than innumerous white specks?

Well, we look down on them every day. We see them, moment after moment and second after second. We are the Overseers, the gods who keep the universe spinning… or at least we used to be. Something’s changed now, something internal. Something he doesn’t know about, and will refuse to admit. Why? Because he loves the system. He loves the way things work now, and doesn’t realize it may not be the same in the future. He’ll do—oh?

Who am I?

No one important.

Not really, anyways.

At any rate, I’m not the one who ought to be talking. My time is almost up--I’ll have to return soon. So until then…

“Are you sure about this?” they asked worriedly, blinking with concern. Their friend gulped nervously, a hand on their forehead.

“We have to,” they said, a slight tremor breaking their voice. “Otherwise we won’t fill our quota, and Nadav will be at our doorstep faster than I could count starmatter.  Besides, there’s billions of other stars and planets we could get. Earth 1 is so rare you might as well be searching for Rainan…”

“I know, I know,” the other replied heavily, steadying their nerves. “We might as well get to it, then.” Both the figures sucked in a quick breath and let the eyes on their foreheads pulse with bluish light, and in a moment a spherical hologram had appeared, revolving in between the two.

It only took a second for them to realize what planet was covered in mottled green and blue colors, and the next for it to process.

There was a sharp knock at the door.

Hello one and all! This is a follow-up to my ‘CB Spirit Solo Write’, which I hugely enjoyed writing and really wanted to take further. (Cquerria is so much fun to write about) Only 10 CBers will be allowed to join, though I may not stick to that rule too tightly because I’m way too nice.

Here’s the charrie sheet:

*NOTE* There were some people in my first write who may want to join again. You absolutely can, but you cannot use your character from the first write. (They might appear again at some point)

Name (The names Cquerrians have are largely Hebrew and Arabic-sounding. Choose along those lines, though nicknames can be anything related):

Appearance (Anything you like. Read the first write, but they are able to change their form to anything save the forehead-eye):

Personality:

Extra (please know about what I’ve established on Cquerrians before adding this!):

Et tacet un linguam loquitur… see you soon…
