A blog for The Urutsk Cycle and Related Subjects,
including the URUTSK: World of Mystery RPG.
Shipwrecked survivors of a galaxy-spanning empire (ruined when the core exploded) settle upon a wetlands world occupied by humans and other species. They then poke through ruins of their Ancient ancestors as they strive to regain space and then, starflight.

[Music] After Shift
(-- The limitation of my laptop speakers' dynamic range is starting to get on my nerves...)
[Dream]
We, you and I, are out one night. Our first date.
After our snack-meal, you light a cigarette. I observe; you look as if that means I disapprove. I smile and shake my head, and with a chin nod, you pause and inhale.
I continue to observe, and you reach to give me one; I shake my head.
Instead, I rise and sit beside you and purse my lips and suck in air. You wordlessly shotgun and I inhale.
I smile and we gaze awhile. I exhale.
I awoke with your perfume in my nostrils.
