Synopsis: Genie was an ordinary bruin norn, residing in the arc. Millions of other norns surrounded her daily life, when the exsisting norns suddenly start disappearing without record Genie starts to wonder when it's her turn.
Notes:
It's a survival story. It will be somewhat dark but not violent.
It will be written in a diary format, daily events are noted down.
Okay with that written I'll begin.
Day 1
Well, to say the least it's been a long day. It started out rather normal till I saw my friend Sheldon (he's a bengal, I think I have a bit of crush on him!~) with a look of pure terror on his face. I pondered what could have caused the normally optimistic and mild Sheldon to seem so disrupted. Had he been rejected by another girl?
Anyway past that I saw a large Grendel stagger slowly in shock. It was not rejection. To scare a Grendel it had to be something pretty darn horrifying. Shaking Sheldon I asked him what was wrong. "I-I-I-I... Saw s-s-s-something... I-it w-w-was..." He mumbled quaking rapidly in fear.
He wouldn't say much else he just passed cold out into a deep sleep beyond that...
I'd have asked the Grendel (at the risk of getting hit. Grendels can be somewhat violent to the norns, however if you ask them nicely co-operation is possible...) however upon looking back up he'd turned tail for the comforts of the jungle teranium. Or well at least I'd figured. There wasn't much else I could do... In an attempt to continue on with my day I pushed the door open to go see my ettin friend Digit. When I entered the ettin home instantly I saw Digit and her sister Washuu (We seriously don't name ourselves, some benevolent force does but at the same time not alot of our names make much sense to me...) lifting a heavy piece of silver machinery about. They'd pilfered it from the Capitalia again. It was okay though. We hadn't seen or heard from Shee for years. Or so my mother told me of the Shee. She said Grandma's Grandma was around before and just after their absence.
The ettin pair were always shiftly creeping about almost like they were ready for the return of the Shee.
Later on to make my day elongated, the elder ( a forgetful shaky Civet norn called Bean) decided to call a meeting. Not just for the norns though. The meetings were pathetic enough especially seeing as nobody even got told what they needed due to widespread arguments between norns. He decided Grendels and Ettins attendance deemed necessary. Great. An interspecies meeting means three things. Longer meetings in general.
More arguments.
Standing in the already tiny capitala hub.
Just perfect. The meeting didn't run smoothly. A bunch of youth Norns kept riling Bean up and teasing any girls. Then a gang on Grendels stormed in late shouting sorry and making as much noise as possible mumbling whenever a point was raised. To make the already bad meeting worse, I fell face first into a pile of seeds. In front of EVERYONE. Yay. I'm going to have to name change from Genie to starch-face. I now officially hate meetings with a passion. All that got said is that there is something strange going on. An adult ettin male and a baby norn vanished. Without any trace. I think they just hit the warp. Let's face it any other explanation is totally foo dem.
Day 2
Woke up. Not much happened. Sheldon seems to have concluded he and the grendel ate bad cheese. He said they shared a meal of blue cheese. He also says he's never eating cheese of the floor again (uggh why would you?).
Saw Digit again. She's fixated on finding the Ettin that went walkies. She seems to think he's been snatched. I told her my conclusion of the warp and she shot it down totally saying the Ettin would have signed off or something like that. She forgets how easy it would be to trip over it when carrying tat back. Saw a Grendel today who told me that there are huge machines to the far right of the ship. It failed to interest me to be quite frank. I'm more into gathering food and playing in the lift. |

Sleep deprivation brings me back here. Anyways, thanks!~ I look forward to writing more of this. It's a nice change from normal style prose. Noticed in previous posts I mis-spelt Capitillata wrong. Sorry about that...
Day 3
What a boring day. Nothing and I mean nothing happened. Either everybody was busy or just not in any mood to talk! The search is still on for the missing inhabitants. Some creatures are calling it abduction, they think the ettin kidnapped the baby. Don't ettins normally snatch machines? If that's the case the runaway obviously has some severe sight problems. I am still certain the warp is the answer. Digit seems to still think there's deeper meaning to this. The grendel I saw yesterday seems to have gone too. Maybe she was just ill today.
Day 4
Still no sign of miss grendel. Tim the Grendel waltzed on over asking everybody if we'd seen his mate. No sign what so ever... I'm a bit curious as to how the warp sucked her in. She rarely ventures far Tim said. In her daily routine aparently, she strolls along the arc deck and back to the jungle. Not often does she feel the need to go to the Capitillata. I don't know... Why is it bothering me so much anyway? I say it's a creatures own fault if he or she trips the warp. They should watch their step!
Day 5
A development on the missing creatures popped up today. Aparently along with the third disappearnce there was another to match it. It went un-recorded last night. Aparently a senior Bengal-Siamese mix disapperead. His name was Jubb. Weird. It's like they trod off two by two! Is there something in the cheese and seeds? I'm confused here. There's a weird occurance. Sheldon comes back shell-shocked, two creatures disappear off the face of the docked ships. Then another two go like ping!? Are they being eaten...
Day 6
Sheldon didn't eat any funny cheese... Stan the Ettin saw a massive creature. He said it was like a monster with glaring red eyes. It tried to say something to him but he turned tail and ran before it could utter the words. Never told me where mind you. Just that the creature was terrifying.

Sorry for not updating alot, had exams come up, anyway here's the next bit. I made it nice and long!
Day 7
This is starting to get freaky. A whole batch of five newborns have gone. Like into thin air gone. They wouldn't go so easily though, the carer would put up a mean fight, unless the carer is either stealing creatures, looked away for a minute or worse yet dead. I don't know what's what now.
Day 8
Something out of the ordinary happened to say the least.
A grendel with norn arms was spotted. Treehugger arms. One of the babies who went missing was a treehugger. Aparently the grendel tried to say hello and make polite conversation... I don't know. I really don't know what this arc is coming to.
Good lord shee...
Day 9
More creatures gone. Two ettins, four grendels and ten norns. Things are just stacking up. I mean sooner or later there's gonna be nobody in the norn terranium. The elders predict it's some kind of apocalypse. As wild as it sounds this does sound pretty believable...
Day 10
Found a torn up piece of diary in the learning room. It was a page, I'll rewrite what it said (would stick it it but Digit demands it is evidence...) "It has been a good six weeks since we tried to create the universal being. Every repeated attempt has failed bar this one. We spent weeks reshaping genomes till we cracked the formula... Desert Ettin, Hardman Norn and Banshee Grendel. However in these findings, we have learnt this creature is unstable. It mauls others, steals creatures for it's own will...."
Thinking about it that does seem like plausible evidence.
Day 11
I'm in pretty deep now I'd say, Charlie the old Bondi norn tells me he remembers something the diary entry describes, he said years ago that the guardian Sirknight got pregnant without kiss popping. He mentioned that when her mystery egg hatched a vicious creature was born. He also said that he's part grendel and shee. Yeah Charlie is a bit senile. He's pure bondi the nutter!
Day 12
Spent the day inside, felt lazy. Nothing doing.
Day 13
Found some more torn up diary. "In recent findings we found that our experiment require strong norns. Upon using a flimsy treehugger genome the creation died with in minutes..."
What the Albia are these people chatting!?
Day 14
Went to speak to a reliable source, Bella the Grendel, she travels about alot, she's aged but not senile and doesn't rule anything out. I asked her about the mixed creature, she told me they called it Lucifer, they feared that amongst the arc a demon had been unleashed. The whole arc confined the demon to a room throwing in the occaisional egg for sacrifice. The elder would chose one he felt was weak. She mentioned that the poor thing seemed misunderstood but people still feared it and locked it away.

"Good lord shee"
"What the Albia are these people chatting"
Haha. Nice! Norns seem to have evolved a language like humans! Who knew? (well you did but that doesn't matter) Great. It's getting REALLY interesting!

Yes, yes they are slowly and thanks!
I waited a while so I could think out more plot lines...I'm about halfway through now I guess.
Day 15
I reckon people are getting a little bit stirred up by now. Rumor has it that a few hundred albian years ago when the arc was first set off that Banshee Grendels had their rule of here. Aparently they used to preform imoral and torturous experiments on unsuspecting Norns. That and feed eggs to Banshee Grendels. And some people thought Jungle Grendels were bad... Got nothing on these guys trust me. I've had a run in with one. I think Washuu may have either flew the coop, got stuck in the air lock or worst come to worst disappeared. Digit is in panic mode now. Seems like hals of her personality is gone... Quite sad....
Day 16
Not alot of developments, Digit won't move from a desolate corner of the desert terranium. Tried and Tried.
Day 17
Sheldon came running up over excited he gave me yet another piece of paper. Which was diary. Funny how he comes to me of all people like I'm some kind of keeper... It was a bit profound to be honest.
"Locked themselves up..."
I proceeded to be mind-scarred.
Day 18
Bean called another pathetic meeting. There isn't even enough of us to call it a meeting at times...
Got a glimpse of Digit, she's in a right state. Heavy purple bags under her eyes. Red and purple never was a good combo in my opinion...
Day 19
Well Bean and Sheldon are gone. Bit of a shock to me. 8 norns now. It's getting beyond a little bit creepy. I wonder how long it'll be till it's me? |
