The project was finally complete. Canis began to cackle with glee, his face lit in sudden flashes by the crackling portal before him. Suspended within a steel structure wrapped in wires and pipes, the glowing blue disc made a deep booming sound that rose and fell as Russwallac slowly moved a lever to the right.
"Canis, are you sure this is safe?" Russ adjusted his glasses slightly and frowned into the depths of the interdimensional void.
"We knew the risks when we began this project! There's no other way. We have to know what Earth would really be like if the KT asteroid had missed!"
"Uh, of course, but we've never even tested this thing. Who knows what could happen? This could literally tear the universe apart, or even worse..."
"The Inner Circle are too close to finding our location. There's no time- this has to happen now."
"Alright, boss." Russ turned to look at Nanotyranus. "More power! Tap into the reserves if you need to!"
Nano muttered something about plausibility and flicked a few switches. The portal surged with energy, and arcs of lightning made sudden, vicious connections between it and the scaffold in which it hung. Canis shouted something, but his voice was drowned out by the sound of physics screaming in pain. Russ' hair stood on end as he kept checking the panels in front of him again and again, on alert for any sort of error or fault. Here, there was no room for mistakes.
The sound slowly faded into a quiet hum, and the three speccers began cheered with glee. "It's stable! It's stable!" Laughed Russ, as Canis cracked a beer and raised it in salute to his comrades before taking a deep gulp.
But just as they were celebrating, there was a sudden explosion which tore a wide hole in the roof of the building. Long ropes dropped from above, and down them slid the dreaded Inner Circle. Before they could react, Canis and his friends stood facing the three most terrifying people he knew- Parasky, flanked by John Faa on his right hand side and Uruf on his left. Uruf bowed sarcastically towards Canis.
"Can't you give us a few more minutes?" Pleaded Russ.
Parasky drew a bulky two-handed hammer from his belt and shook his head at Canis. "You went rogue, CL. You know what that means. With everything you know, we can't let you go free."
"Look, I had to do this. You know that."
The Administrator didn't seem to notice Canis speaking. "You were my friend once. Remember all we did together? Remember what we achieved? And you threw it all aside." He prepared himself to swing the hammer.
Faa smirked. "You did well, making this portal. But it's ours now. And I'll be the one to classify all the new pterosaurs we find!"
Canis backed away, his eyes desperate. "No!"
"And your friends? You could have told them everything. They, too, must be smote."
Russ gulped, and Nano muttered something about past participles. He had resigned himself to his inevitable fate. All was lost, and this whole project had been for nothing. They would never get to see- but then, the portal flared for a second, filling the room with blinding white light. There was the sound of heavy footsteps, and as the speccers regained their sight they saw a scarred, armoured figure striding out from the void, a dark silhouette against the bright disc behind him.
"No, it can't be." Gasped Parasky.
Canis' jaw dropped. "But that's... Temporary!"

Keep em' coming.
I know this sounds ridiculous,, but I'm imagining a Giant Maratus Volans, Buddha Snorlax/Cockatiel Raptor/Podling, A Knight, A Titan Mech, Johnfaas' Basal Lemurs/Mega-Raptor-Vulture and some other avatars instead of actual people.

This is the best thing I've read in a long time.
I also can't be the only one imagining people as avatars they've had at some point. We've got the knight in a room with a dude that has a shell for a head talking to a humanoid spider wearing glasses. But then King Dedede, a space unicorn, and an ostrich* break through the ceiling. It's hilarious.
*It's been a while, hasn't it?

Even though he is our creator, that does not afford him the right to take our lives on a whim. But that is the thinking of a homs. He is a god. Such morals cannot apply to gods. So you think we should just shut up and die?! If that is the fate decided by a god. You are mistaken if you think we will simply accept such a fate and wait to die. We'll never stop fighting. Not till the end. To Zanza, the outcome is the same. Thus your logic is flawed.

But Souls are delicious. They're like bacon - they taste good on anything. But if you eat them, you completely remove them from existence! They can't move on or... or be reincarnated! Huh. I never really gave it much thought. Besides, what do you mean by reincarnation anyway? You know, being reborn as someone or something else. Which means different body, different memories, different experiences, yes? So isn't being reborn as "something else" the same as being "removed from existence"? I... I... eating souls isn't right! That depends on your definition of "right". All living things survive by eating other living things. So what? You're a god. You should be above all that! Gods are above living things, which doesn't necessarily mean we care about them.

Meanwhile, hundreds of miles away, an argument was going on. "Look, I'm not saying that I have it all worked out, but there are already examples of octopus moving on land for a reasonable length of time. If we had a sort of intermediate stage where they went estuarine or into brackish water then it doesn't seem so hard, does it?"
The box he was talking to shuffled slightly sideways, as its occupant poked his head over the rim. The little frog's telepathic voice sounded smooth and confident to DK1000 as he went exhaustively over every sentence DK1000 had said until the poor man was begging him to just stop god damn it Hybrid why do you do this every thread?
But then, a saviour. A flock of birds, thousands strong, descended from the sky in a swirling mass. As it touched the ground, out stepped Sheather, a finch on each shoulder and a peculiar-looking dragon resting on his head. "Hybrid you're needed in the Operations Room!!!" Yelled Sheather before disappearing back into the birds and flying away.
The frog sighed telepathically and then began its long, hopping journey back to Castle Spec. But before he could get more than a few metres, a large hand scooped him up and he found himself being held by a large, hairy troll who was absent-mindedly doodling on a tablet with his other three hands. "I got you m8" said Troll Man.
Appreciated, replied Hybrid, and they both trekked back together, unaware that everything was about to change...

Now I'm imagining Dylan, a purple frog, a Balaur Bondoc, Hitler with a bra, Troll Man and others. Yes Holben, continue. Please. I might doodle this in class... MIGHT, because when I'm done copying from the whiteboard I usually doodle. Especiall Johnfaa twiddling his fingers and speaking his line. Yes....

Four handed troll? Nah, I find the image of a giant hovering nautilus much more amusing.
Pterosaurs because JohnFaa loves his pterosaurs.

The Operations Room of Castle Spec was a masterpiece of technology and design. Its floor was glass, allowing the many and diverse species of fish swimming below to be seen, as well as a variety of other animals amongst the seaweed and the coral. The walls were actually a thick mass of trees and creepers, and the roof was designed to let birds come and go freely.
Seascorpion, Zorcuspine and Richard were already there, having heard the call already. They had taken their seats around the great Staff Table, and were a bit confused about this whole affair. In the very centre of the table was a glowing red orb which blinked occasionally, through which the HOLBEN-900 AI could speak with them.
Richard adjusted his velvet worm scarf and peered at the AI through his aviator's goggles. "HOLBEN, do you know why we've been gathered here?"
"I'm afraid not, Richard. However, Parasky made this a Class One directive, so I am taking it as an issue of great importance."
Seascorp was lying back with his shoes on the table, munching on a vegemite sandwich. "It's probably a theme change again. I was just getting used to the sky being green, as well..."
Zorc nodded in agreement. "That would make sense, Seascorp. But let's hear what he has to say."
A sleek, vicious beast with huge fangs and savage claws, its eyes glowing, padded stealthily into the chamber. Taking a look, predator-like, over each of the staff in turn, it took its place around the table. None of the others seemed to be particularly concerned.
"Ah, welcome, Monster." HOLBEN said. "They have not yet arrived."
Monster growled in a way which meant 'Hurry up, I need to get back to my gardening'.
Loud tweeting from above announced the arrival of Sheather, who took his seat at one end of the table and allowed his finches to land on everything in the room. There was soon very little space left to move. As dial entered he had to step cautiously one foot after the other in order to make his way to his own chair, where he sat down and looked quizzically at Sheather.
"Parasky told you what's up? Did he catch a live one " he said.
"Hold on, hold on." Richard leaned forward. "Did you just say ?"
" " Replied Dial.
"I don't know what's happened yet," said HOLBEN, "but they will be here soon."
The slow, plodding footsteps of Troll Man foretold his entrance, and he made sure to place Hybrid and his gilded box on the correct chair before sitting down heavily in his own. Hybrid spoke into everyone's minds. Why were we called? He asked.
"Parasky is just arriving. He will tell us himself shortly."
And just as HOLBEN finished his sentence, the main doors swung open, revealing five figures. Canis with his arms in chains, looking pretty miserable. Parasky behind him was wearing a dark expression and still holding his Banhammer loosely in his hand. The two Inner Circle members weren't really meant to be allowed in, but no-one seemed to mind because they all shouted "TEMPORARY?!" at once.
The barrage of questions began, but Tempy waded over to the table and struck it with his clenched fist, making everyone silent. "Everyone! This is something you need to hear."
There was a growl which translated to 'Go on.'
"You are all in great danger and you don't realise it. I've been stuck between dimensions for years, ever since I was captured and thrown out of the universe by a dark force which wants only one thing- the end of Spec itself."
Cries of astonishment and muttering filled the air. But Temporary continued.
"And what's true for me is true for all the other Away Staff, too! Over the last few years we have been attacked and scattered one by one. And the Enemy is only growing stronger. I have evidence that very soon, Castle Spec itself will be under siege!"

Even though he is our creator, that does not afford him the right to take our lives on a whim. But that is the thinking of a homs. He is a god. Such morals cannot apply to gods. So you think we should just shut up and die?! If that is the fate decided by a god. You are mistaken if you think we will simply accept such a fate and wait to die. We'll never stop fighting. Not till the end. To Zanza, the outcome is the same. Thus your logic is flawed.

But Souls are delicious. They're like bacon - they taste good on anything. But if you eat them, you completely remove them from existence! They can't move on or... or be reincarnated! Huh. I never really gave it much thought. Besides, what do you mean by reincarnation anyway? You know, being reborn as someone or something else. Which means different body, different memories, different experiences, yes? So isn't being reborn as "something else" the same as being "removed from existence"? I... I... eating souls isn't right! That depends on your definition of "right". All living things survive by eating other living things. So what? You're a god. You should be above all that! Gods are above living things, which doesn't necessarily mean we care about them.

Quotes
Spoiler: click to toggle OctoSharkTaSaurus: WELP. HELL-O-PHANTS IT IS. Kamineigh: I was six and I had started having fantasies about this old crone dying. Sometimes by my own hand. YOU'RE DOING SOMETHING HORRIBLY WRONG IF A SIX-YEAR OLD WANTS TO KILL YOU WITH THE SAME HANDS HE JUST USED TO MAKE A BLOCK TOWER. Parasky: No, he's right, they have a medical grade walrus at most hospitals for that sort of thing. Mr Mysterio, regarding yours truly: I'm learning things about you that I'm not sure I wanted to know. HangingThief: An otologist is only as good as his walrus Stealth_Rock: We have a discord for double penetration? Ichthyander: If your eyelids are massive enough to significantly affect the path of light in space, it is time to go sleep. Mr Mysterio: Glarn-Glarn, don't... don't fuck the cave baboons. Kamineigh: They lacked wings. Instead, they went around in modified pilot's gear and beat the shit out of people using maces. Parasky: No! We will not calm down! This is a serious argument over whether or not some long dead animal is in any way similar to a group of modern animals that they are descended from! THIS. IS. SEWIOUS. Lamna: Obvious typo, I'm never going to be popular in Belgium. Trex841: Interesting point. Valid counterpoint. Self-obsessed psychotic rant. Parasky: No ties. Begin genetically modifying crows until we have organisms that roughly resemble those in the competition, and then have them fight to the death to see who wins this competition. Alternatively, Cephalian and SabrWolf could fight to the death. But at the end of the day something will be fighting to the death for my amusement to determine the winner. Yellowdrakex: Is it alright to have an irrational fear of gliding snakes? They're snakes. FROM ABOVE. Kamineigh: See, you wouldn't be in this mess if you began a bloody revolution every time your leaders showed to unsatisfactory. Zihuatanejo: Somewhere in heaven, a very groggy, very confused angel has just woken up and is trying to figure out why a boisterous Australian man is poking it with a stick. Komodo: I'm sorry but in what alternative universe would thousands of zebras be sent back in time by some sort of illegal time travel group to change history and preparing them by making gigantic working animatronic allosaurs? Seriously, why? Parasky: Maybe y'all should move to America, where you can flex your freedom muscles. Sir Spookums: It's a game about children catching super powered monsters, stuffing them in tiny balls, and battling other strangers' monsters. What about that makes sense in regards to anything, mister Kam? Des Orages: Yi qi. Just when you think you've seen it all, nature screws us over once more. Kaminiegh: This is clearly an inaccurate statement. I'd never challenge the authority of an admin... Unless Paraksytron stubbed his toe and fell over. THEN I, STARSCREIGHM, WILL BECOME THE NEW LEADER OF OF THE DE-SPECU-CONS! Dragon: Is normal a good word to use for describing any of us? Velociraptor: I once dreamed I was trying to steal a flamingo. The flamingo was oddly calm about the whole situation. Kaminiegh: THAT'S IT, I'M KINKSHAMING. Flashman63: In its 4,600 year history, men from all eras, places and classes have been entering into the Library: from the ancient bearded sages of Sumeria and Chaldea, to the sober-minded Academics and Zoologists of the Victorian era, to the great warlord Cletus, an inbred hillbilly who just happened to be carrying his AR-15 around his County's Strip-Mall library. OctoSharktasaurus: Well, uh, it's a pseudo-tripedal, terrestrial subcontinental Madagascan Beaked Whale... Is that not obvious? It literally says it blatantly. Holben: Did you not add lamb's blood to your fruit juice and the crushed bones of an englishman to your salsa? It's not authentic if you don't. Kaminiegh: Shut up, Hybrid, stop ruining my chances of time-travelling and getting some Neanderthal tail! Mr Mysterio: Except maybe Canada. If ever there was a country that was hiding secret reserves of powerful alien technology, it's probably mine. HangingThief: If you answered mainly "yes," you are most likely a salamander. Unfortunately it is becoming harder and harder to tell these days. Monster: In vaguely related news, I've developed a fear of my sewing machine. WHAT ARE YOU STRANGE NEEDLEBEAST Mynxi: He sowed the seed, I merely pissed on it and saw what grew. Beetleboy: The moral of the story: never trust a catfish. Parasky: Speaking of original, note to self: write erotic classical Chinese literature fan fiction Bromance of the Three Kingdoms under pseudonym Tuck Chingle. Little: Starting playing DND, took all of an hour of gameplay until a yuri love-triangle was initiated. And no, it was not my fault. Corecin: If this is your first time with a lesbian love triangle in a DnD game than you don't even have to specify that you're starting out. Octo: Oh no now Little will enlighten with the deep and complex subject that is hentai lore. Beetleboy: It shows what kind of person I am that I'm seeking crush advice on a forum about creating fictional organisms. Corecin: I am not in the mood for looking up yuri because then the FBI agent monitoring my computer will judge me with reckless abandon. Blue_Komrade: Excuse me sir I am going to have to see if you have your membership card to the Misanthrope Club. Parasky: Ultimately, by the miracle of microbiology and biochemistry, I have accidentally added an additional month to my brew and created a Bavarian style hefeweizen rather than the American style wheat beer I planned, despite technically not having the correct ingredients. However because I wrote down what I did wrong its not a mistake it's actually science. Rebirth: I can't be the only one curious about what would happen if you spayed and neutered a male antechinus before it reached sexual maturity. Ebervalius: Laws? What kind of spooky cuckery is that? Parasky: Ah see, but that's just the thing, you thought that I thought that you thought that I had said you hadn't read it, when really I had said that you had said that you thought that I thought that you hadn't read it. So really it's Flisch's fault.

Me  Forum user Uncanny Gemstar drew what is supposed to be a me. Thanks! Spoiler: click to toggle As they walk in, they're greeted by a small, poorly kept pathway leading to a poorly constructed Japanese-style gate. Behind this, a small field made up of corn, rice, wheat, potatoes, among other plants is contrasted by large piles of books, as well as a few rather out of place looking laptops. Off in the corner, a small woman, with long, striped, and strikingly colorful socks, no shoes, unremarkable denim shorts, a large, fancy black coat, arm warmers, glasses, a tuque, and somewhat unkempt, mid-length blue-and-pink-streaked red hair, is rummaging through a trash bin, located behind a sign saying "employees only". She continues this for a while (walking behind a wall to change her outfit now and then), until one of her visitors coughs. Startled, she looks up, apologizes, and grabs a handful of textbooks and novels before daintily running off to join them. What, you want me to tell you what these mean?
