《Skyrates?!》22. Wherein Green Garey Tells Pamela A Secret About His Past
Advertisement
Up on the fourth floor of the godfight arena, Pamela and Green Garey were rubbing elbows with and sketching hasty nudes of upper crust criminals. The air was filled with thicc, milky smoke, extremely rude gnats, and countless samples of body odors.
“Hey. Hey you. Hey. Cluck you. Hey cluck you. You clucking suck. Yea you. Go cluck yourself mothercluck—”
Pamela slapped her neck, flattening the extremely rude gnat into a paste.
“Yaarg! Them nasty scallopwagons arr everywhere, parrgtner. Hate em, AYE do!”
“You can say that again, Green Garey.”
“Glad you and AYE arr on the same page.”
“Um, you seem to have misunderstood me. I was asking you to say what you said again, because I wasn’t paying attention. I was trying to sketch what that woman over there’s nipples might be shaped like from the fall of her robes.”
“Yaarg! Pamela, mAYEght AYE ask ye a question?”
Pamela nodded curtly as she cross-hatched.
“WhAYE do-are ye always drawin’? And don’t give me the same story ye give to all the lanlumbars! Remember, we’re parrgtners.”
“You really wanna know, Green Garey?”
“AYE. AYE do indeed.”
“Okay. Well, it really does help me focus. Better than taking notes.”
“But..”
“But?”
“Yaarg! Ye know what AYE mean.”
“I’m afraid I don’t, Green Garey.”
“Come on now matey! Walk to the poop deck with me.”
Green Garey ushered Pamela to a far corner of the fourth floor where all of the extremely rude gnats were congregating. It was right outside the outhouse, an exclusive fourth floor convenience.
“Does it feel easier here, Parrrmela, where ye have some privacy?”
“Cluck you you clucking dweebus!”
He swatted at the extremely rude gnat.
“Go to hen motherclucker!”
He squashed it.
“Green Garey, if anything, I am far less comfortable. Though I am not sure how my subjective comfort applies to the scenario.”
“Parrmela, maybe AYE haven’t been completely transparent with ye. There’s a big secret AYE have that AYE feel compelled to let off me chest, if ye will hear it.”
“Okay,” Pamela blinked rapidly, surprised at the man emerging from the outhouse’s confusing physique. It would pose quite a challenge to sketch.

“Thank ye. AYE must tell ye, Parrmela, it has been weighing on me conscience for a long whAYEle that I haven’t discussed this with ye.”
“Cluck off you pegged-legged motherclucking imbecile!”
“Yea nice speaking pattern you crazy clucking butternutter!”
“Someone make these gnats walk the skank!”
“You first, cluckface!”
“Yaarg! Anyhowsit, it’s about me parrst, about who AYE truly am, Parrmela. It’s something AYE’m sure you’ve thought about before.”
“Okay,” Pamela was not paying any attention to what Green Garey was saying, but would remember all of it encycopedically after she finished detailing the scrotum.
“When AYE were a young lad me parents disappeared. They puffed to dust like a cloud of sky sand, Parrmela! Literally! It was horrifying!”
“Not unlike your clucking breath! Hood cock, have you ever heard of mint spells?”
Green Garaey squished the gnat.
“To this day, Parrmela, AYE have no idea where they may be or what mutinous bilge cat dragged them in to the wrong house! AYE have bared this weight me whole life onwards.”
“Okay,” Pamela continued drawing the man’s estimated achilles heel.
“Okay. Okay? Yaarg! That’s all ye have to say?! Parrmela, I thought surely ye, upon hearing me story, would have a similar such tale! Why else would ye sketch so many repugnant, naked photos?”
“I don’t find them repugnant. I find them helpful, as we’ve already discussed.”
“Yaarg! Well surely ye must want to know more about me parents, AYE?”
“Oh. Sure, go ahead.”
“They was the best parents AYE could’ve asked foarr, except with the disappearing in a puff a sky sand bit. You know what they were, Parrmela?”
“What they were? As in their profession? No, Green Garey. I have no idea what your parents’ jobs were, but magic free to elaborate. I find this general setting unstimulating and welcome the distraction.”
“They were-be the meanest, narrstiest, fiercest, cutthroatiest tax specializing lawyers this side of the carrntinent!”
Pamela blinked inquisitively as she erased an accidentall triple niple situation. “Well I’ll be. Did they twerk for Gigglesberg, Wigglestein, Figglesfeld, and Sons and Uncles and Other Men of Minor and/or No Relation?”

“Nay, matey! They was better’n all those lousy louses! They twerked for StAYEnwall, Baum and Fernfernfern and Sons and Daughters and Second Cousins and Other Men and Other Women of Minor and/or no Relation!”
“I see. I haven’t heard of them.”
“How would ye when their best lawyers disappeared in a puff of sky sand?”
Pamela finalized a navel. “That’s a hood question, Green Garey. That’s a hood question.” It was an ‘outie’.

Broderica and Lady Krumbumbum fidgeted uncomfortably in the tightly packed, moldy office of Jeffrey with a G. Cobwebs tickled their shoulders. Eustace has standing behind them staring at the door, exhaling like only a gruff moleman could.
“So, ladies,” rasped Jeffrey with a G, “ what you’re telling me is that my eyes are decieving me, and that you’re really two boisterous old chups who happen to have stumbled into a chromosome swapping spell without any idea how to reverse it. A snip without the snap, if you will.”
“I won’t!” spat Lady Krumbumbum, “We did not stumble into this spell! It’s been in my lexicon for ages! I am an esteemed wizard! I simply cannot remember the reversal spell because this fool over here burned all my books to a crisp while hurling excrement at skyrates!”
“Give it a rest, Krumbutthole!” Broderica’s boobs boobed around boobily in their boob holsters, forcing her to adjust them over and over again. Jeffrey with a G did not attempt to avert his gaze, though his cataracts did a little of that for him.
“Look, if you two wanna just screech at eachother like a couple of cats in heat I won’t stop you. But I believe I may have a suggestion. If your money’s right.”
“Oh fine,” huffed Broderica through breasted breath, presenting Jeffrey with a G a heavy leather sack. “Here. Take all of it, what do I care. Just help me get rid of these hamned things, they’re driving me crazy.”
“What in the cluck is this?” barked Jeffrey with a G as he pulled the drawstring open and rocks and mud poured out into his palm.
“What the hen, Krumbumpus?! I thought you said the spell would last all day!”
Lady Krumbumbum bristled. “It should have. But—”
“Hah! What a bout of flatulence! You thought you’d take me funny money? You thought I’d let any of your stupid magic wriggle its way into my arena? Do you know what I am?”
“Warlock,” Lady Krumbumbum murmured under her breath.
“Huh? What was that, Lady of the nearly flat chest? I mean really, you’d think you’d of evened it out among the two of you instead of giving them all to her! Or him, or whom, or whatever.”
“I hate warlocks.”
“Still so quiet. What was that? Speak up. Come on, you’ve got a lovely voice for an older woman.”
“Go to hen!”
“Hah! Listen to you! Here I am offering my assistance in this trying time and you offer me a pile of sludge in a fancy bag and tell me to go to hen! All because I’m a warlock! Just like a couple of wizards!”
“I’m not a wizard, sirrah,” interjected Broderica.
“No, of course not, you’re just a bit of a tart is all.”
“Why you!” Broderica went in to slap Jeffrey with a G across the face, only to watch as her palm stopped half a second from his skin.
“Heh heh heh. Nice try, lady.”
“What the hen?” Broderica backed her arm up and tried again to slap Jeffrey with a G, and was once again held back by some ineffable force. “Why can’t I hit you?!”
“Warlock!” Jeffrey with a G cackled triumphantly. Then he turned to Lady Krumbumbum. “You know, if you were a warlock and not a stinking wizard, you wouldn’t need any of your hamned books anyway! Do I look like I need books?”
“You look like you probably can’t even read.”
“Accurate! But why would I?”
“Clucking warlocks with heads full of rocks.”
“What, is that a line from one of your alma mater’s graduation songs, you clucking magical shrubbery?” he turned to Broderica, “I bet if you could even lay a finger on me your punches would feel like a silk scarf.”
Broderica snorted, “Your godfight sucks.”
“What?” hacked Jeffrey with a G, nearly choking on his own saliva.

The Dreamside Road
Five years after the world fell into chaos, a treasure of artifacts is up for grabs. The relics of the Dreamside Road offer a power that could help rebuild or annihilate what remains. Orson Gregory is an adventurer for hire, but hunts this treasure for answers, not glory. Enoa Cloud’s late aunt helped hide the Dreamside Road, but following in her aunt’s supernatural tradition offers her as much peril as power. Together, Orson and Enoa battle a magic-obsessed militia, clash with a host of rivals, and face constant adventure on their journey to find the Dreamside Road. *Updates Monday and Friday The Dreamside Road is now on TopWebFiction! Vote so people know this exists. _____________________________________ NOTE: The Progression tag applies specifically to Enoa. Also, fair warning, that element doesn't enter the story until she begins her studies. Content: Main characters range in age from teenagers to people in their thirties and older, but it will not contain gratuitous violence or explicit sexual content. It also won’t shy away from implication, anything to make this story and its world feel more real. Characters will freely allude to potentially triggering topics, including living with a disability, facing terminal illness, coping with trauma, surviving societal destabilization, and the consequences of bigotry. At its most intense, the Dreamside Road is a hard PG-13. Worldbuilding: This is not a story with a lot of early exposition scenes, conveniently explaining ‘magic systems’ and political dynamics. Readers will learn, progressively, as the characters do. This story/world has a ‘magic system’, or rather, a set of systems, but the effort to quantify and understand the truth of the setting plays a role in the backstory, as well as in some character motivations. In that same vein, not every character has a firm grasp on the nature of their world, and not every piece of dialog from every character should be taken as entirely truthful Worldbuilding. Also, this isn't the softest Sci-fi. There are at least some basic explanations given for various elements, but Royal Road does not give me a spectrum to choose from. Given the choice between hard and soft, let's just say The Dreamside Road won't be cited in any college Physics papers. Setting and Theme: The Dreamside Road walks the line between fantasy and science fiction and deals with finding one’s place in a changing world. Many of the characters in this story are United States natives and the story begins in the United States, my homeland. However, knowledge or interest in this country is not necessary to understand the story, especially as it progresses. Also, as this is a novel that deals with societal collapse and while that damage may be widespread, in story, I don’t want to overstep and critique the culture of others’ unless I have particular knowledge in a given area. Ultimately, the Dreamside Road is American in the same way Harry Potter is English, fantasies that do not have a full secondary world, but with enough original elements to fully diverge the setting from our the real world.
