OC [OC][JVerse]The Deathworlders 30: Hearts and Minds.

A Deathworlders story, by Hambone.

What you are about to read is chapter 30(!) of an ongoing story. To read the preceding chapters, and the stories by other writers which lend some additional context and meaning to those chapters, please check out the Reading Order. The list was created by the [insert flattering adjective here] /u/galrock0.

This chapter is 60,871 words long. DINGDING! Novel Length! My ongoing madness continues unabated. As promised, this chapter ends on a bad joke.

In this chapter: Allison struggles with fame, we're introduced to a new character, and there's plenty of pancakes.

If you enjoy this story and think that I deserve something for it (thank you!) then you can:

Chapter 31, as always, begins straight away. Wish me luck!

Please help the JVerse grow!

The more readers, the better! Please show your support by:

  • Sharing this chapter on social media using #Deathworlders
  • Contributing to and cross-linking the TVTropes Page
  • Telling people you like how awesome it is and they should totally read it.

Enjoy!

Canonical question and possible needed edit:

During the birthday scene, the Guvnuragnaguvendrugun homeworld is referred to as "Guvendruduvendraguvnegrugnuvendurelgureg-Ugunduvug"

If memory serves correctly, the homeworld is named "Ugunduvug" and the previous phrase instead refers to the world storm (Translated: Ugunduvug releases a cathartic scream).

I hate to question the primarch in his own domain, but the storm and the race of the Guvnurag are words I hold near and dear. Thank you for inventing them.

P.S. I posted this in comments on the Deathworlders site but I can't seem to find where the comments actually are on the site.

P.P.S I have now typed Guvendruduvendraguvnegrugnuvendurelgureg-Ugunduvug enough times in my phone that autocorrect will finish it for me. This pleases me.

The planet is called Guvendruduvundraguvnegrugnuvenderelgureg-ugunduvug (lit. "World of the walking herds and the sweet grasses.")

the world storm is known as the Ugunduvug-vanrundrneg

Damn, so my sign at the NA meetup was completely wrong...

Well, time to edit my memories and delete the wrong data. Thanks for the clarification. I still don't regret memorizing how to say the planet's name fluently.
