The Nexus

Parts Unknown "Okay." Kol says, not one to ignore loud warnings yelled at him by mysterious voices. "Could you uh. Fill me in on what's going on? Where am I? Because I think Braeg just banished me here for having the gall to tell him murder is bad." Those darn villains, getting ...

[Fetchquest] "Can't promise that, sorry." Tahara wheezes, bumping a fist against where her sternum would be if she had a skeleton in there anywhere. "Little guys are jumping ship. Deciding they don't really want to be a part of me anymore. Not much I can do to convince them to come b...

[Trail of the Red-Clad Man] "Normally, I'm all for big, burly men with no shirts on offering me boons, but this one time I'll pass." Hiep measures Dolor with palpable scepticism. It's not likely she and Harriet can fight him, so the best thing might be to come back once they've got a bett...

[Uninvited] "...Maybe, yeah." Siana agrees, stopping short of the door. "There probably is a way. I... I could wait until nightfall. It's not that far away, when you think about it. Maybe ten hours." She sniffs and lets out a rueful chuckle. "How much trouble could I cause ...

[Chemistry with Chef Bacon] "I'm fine!" Eun reassures him quickly... and likely unconvincingly. "Just... went down the wrong tube, is all." Not quite what happened, but slightly less likely to offend than "I just remembered you guys can't make a decent drink to save your co...

[Lizard, Worm, Bird's-eye View] That... is an excellent question. Khafir would presume that Kothar uses the gear he finds to be most familiar, not necessarily the most effective, but she can't exactly stop the story to ask him. And, for that matter, the entity doesn't seem to be able to follow the ...

[Sapling Cabin] "Plus, we wouldn't know where to look if we did have her on a list somewhere." Miranda points out, somewhat unhelpfully. "You didn't have a name when you first came here; nobody would know her as 'Alto's mom'. What we've been doing so far is combing through missing pe...

[Chemistry with Chef Bacon] Eun pales. Does... does Sam think he's talking to Buhan right now? She did sort of get the two of them mixed up when she and Sam first met. He might be thinking she's the seeq and Buhan's the... Oh. Wait. He's just being coy , isn't he? God dammit , why do people feel th...

[Grounds] Perhaps the surest sign that Khannie's magic is working as intended is that nothing happens. As in, when she finishes waving her hands, the hat stops moving. This might not be a permanent solution; if anything happens to the illusion, the hat's going to go for another swim. But as it stan...

[Fetchquest] They... They actually have peanuts. Wow. Okay. Tahara was expecting that request to take just a bit more effort to fulfill... at the very least, that the Twi'lek would have to retrieve them from the back room, giving Tahara a chance to snoop around. ...Huh. Tahara weighs the bag of pea...

[Parts Unknown] Kol will be delighted to know that the door is not, in fact, locked. It is, however, quite large, heavy, and stuck in the wall, which by various processes of erosion, has partially absorbed the slab. Nobody's touched this door in... well, a long time, obviously. But, if he pushes ha...

[Black Abyss Milk Factory] It takes a few moments for Dorota to register that she's not boiling alive in a vat of chemicals. "T-thank you," she stammers out, as panic starts lifting off her body a little, restoring the use of her limbs. Didn't Rose say something about her bonds being easi...

[Black Abyss Milk Factory] "...Oh, fuck me..." Rose groans as the monitors switch over to a clear indication that Raven did not, in fact, intend for Rose to walk away from this encounter unpunished. Or, in all likelihood, at all. If she runs, and really runs , maybe she can get clear of t...

[Uninvited] Eliseo chuckles, his face getting slightly red. " Okay, fair enough. I'm here to help. " He assures. " Your lessons are actually at Vigil, right? Sounds like a pretty cool opportunity for me, as a bonus. " He says lightly, preferring to keep things light after they'v...

[Grounds]

"You'd better." Braon frowns. "Because she's terrified and if you can't calm her down, she's going to remain terrified until something eats her or she wills herself out of existence to escape it. And I don't think you want to be responsible for either of those."

[Grounds] Braon looks down at her chest, as though a visual inspection will reveal why the bell rolling across the ground didn't result in cardiac arrest, before deciding to just consider herself lucky that it didn't. With that in mind, the fiendling stands up and brushes herself off, watching Khan...

[Courtyard] Courtyard Someone is here. Dressed in a sweeping white halternecked gown with gilt trim, the demon queen Sekhmet Brignole looks less than elegant. Instead, she looks entirely terrified (she's trying and failing to hide it). It's an unbecoming attitude for such an incredibly powerful bei...

[Sapling Cabin] Miranda smiles, but if Sophie thinks that means her guard is down, she might need to take a look at the word "spy" in the dictionary. "Thank you. We're hoping the same." Then, she turns to Alto, looking slightly perplexed. They... had talked about this, right? Sh...

[Fetchquest] "Wrath." Tahara says simply to the Twi'lek, crossing her arms, before giving her an amiable smirk. "Sorry. You just set me up too well for that one. We're actually just here to meet some people, so we'll get out of your... hair... here in a moment." She turns to mov...

[Peccatorium]

The judge simply gives her a wordless nod and throws a pre-emptive glare in Tuhma's direction, silencing any further objections from him.

[Trail of the Red-Clad Man] Dolor frowns a bit as Hiep dodges the chains entirely. How she managed such a thing was, for the moment, beyond him. But, it hardly matters. He can make his point just as vividly with just one. "Oh, I'm well aware that your patron protects you." The Devil says,...

[Dragon Dorms => Parts Unknown] "...Then again." Braeg mutters to himself. "A little quick to pat ourselves on the pack, are we?" He holds up his hand, fingers ready to snap. "I was wondering what I was going to get you for Genidydd. It appears as though there is a valuable...

[Courtyard] As she idly sips at her strawberry cocktail, doctor Khafir can hardly help but wonder how far her new head-mate's sensory abilities extend. They hadn't exactly found a way to communicate yet, beyond borrowing Calm Reed's mirror again, and that would not be particularly sustainable. But,...

[???] Miranda does not, in fact, leave her side. But the conversation does devolve into trivium from there; tiny things Miranda can bring to Sekhmet's attention and let her quickly resolve to rebuild a sense of normalcy and remind her of her competence. Or just tiny things in general, so they still...

[Dragon Dorms] Braeg raises and eyebrow and experimentally rolls his fingers around the empty air. "...Curious." He says with a smirk. "Perhaps you are more Adean than you claim after all." The fiendling turns to look at Kol. "Almost as curious as why you would choose to be...

[Dragon Dorms] Braeg lets out a little sigh. "I had an inkling you would say that." He says, giving Kol a rueful smile. Meanwhile, on Kol's back, the fiendling's hand suddenly slips through, losing all tangibility. It passes through skin, bone, scales, muscle, and everything else between ...

[Sapling Cabin] And of course she saw through that. It doesn't take Miranda too long to weigh her options. If she comes clean now, it comes off as an innocent misunderstanding, maybe her being a bit coy at worst. If she keeps dodging the question, she's obviously trying to hide her intentions, whic...

[Dragon Dorms] "I've done no worse than any of her other children." Braeg corrects. "Would you have wolves go without hunting? Cattle without grazing?" He smirks and gives Kol's shoulder an affectionate shake. "Herons without fishing?" "Death is a part of life. An...

[Sapling Cabin] Oh, dear. Miranda clears her throat and puts on her most amiable smile. "Good morning, missus Mouchabiere." She greets, in a husky, sultry-sounding voice. There's something in her eyes that doesn't seem quite right. If Sophie manages to catch a glimpse of them, she'll see ...

[???] "Was it? Huh." Miranda rubs her temple for a moment, a frown slowly creeping onto her face. "...That sounds right, actually. Hn. I must be losing my touch." She says it casually, but Sekhmet might be able to see a flash of genuine concern behind her eyes. She doesn't know ...
