As Cthulhu’s attention shifted to the k’rell, its nerve endings flared with a series of crackling purple sparks.Continue Reading

Glamorous cybernetic showgirl on a neon-lit retro-futuristic stage, tall and statuesque with long tanned legs, red evening gown with a thigh-high slit, dramatic makeup, platinum-blonde curls, mid-performance in a smoky nightclub, spotlight illuminating her, audience of various humanoid aliens cheering, techno-baroque atmosphere, art deco influences, mood: seductive and mysterious.
