The Nexus

[Fairy Tales] "... Where else would she go if not to his castle?" Reinholdt asks Mr. C. Alternatives have to be offered. "Dragon it is. Maybe mind controlled, but maybe not. It has to be evil, but the power the King holds also has to be blatantly superficial once Jane peels back the ...

[Project Icarus]

Neither Tauron nor Svartha are bothered further then and are free to carry on their business.

[Project Icarus] It was Tauron's idea to detour into talking to Svartha. The cold echo of his voice is the only reminder of this fact and the only response he receives. So long as Svartha's fortifications take place outside the building, they won't be interrupted or bothered. Inside's a different s...

[Project Icarus] "You stay on first floor and not touch anything. It's safe. I fight war for long time, much prepared. Outside also safe, if stay close. Eye gaze distance." Ilpholin gives a nod of finality before the screen flicks off. Tauron's call also cuts off just in case he and Svart...

[Black Abyss Milk Factory] Raven narrows her eye. Doing little else than watching, it's easy to have Brian swerve around Tempest's parting shot as they escape out the hole and into the night sky. So greedy. Both the hero and the temptress thinking they can take and take and take with no consequence...

[Fairy Tales] "That's... not the goal at all," Reinholdt clarifies. "The goal is to weave a weakness into the King in Rags' story or make him not as scary. If we wanted to tell people about the Banished King, we wouldn't need to make a story about it, we'd just tell them. In fact...&...

[Project Icarus]

Ilpholin gives a slow nod. "So tomorrow we will defeat the demons and remove them as an obstacle. I'm planning to attack his house right now. But now I must continue with my arrangements. We will talk again soon."

[Project Icarus]

That's not any better Tauron! And won't get him off of from a lengthy conversation.

"I are in a long struggle against the demons who take over the world from all sides and stop the Good Work. First, they have to finish." Ilpholin explains.

[Project Icarus] "A light installed in my house without my knowledge?" Ilpholin crosses her arms before continuing, cutting off any response Tauron may offer. "He and I have a word for it. Many words." The cross nymph returns to the matter at hand, confirming Svartha's assertion...

[Black Abyss Milk Factory] "You're sorely mistaken if you think you have defeated me ," Raven hisses. Brian throws off his labcoat revealing a jetpack strapped to his back. At the same time Raven aims her weapon... then suddenly shifts, taking shots not at Tempest, but at the crane loweri...

[Bellamy House] "... Wait is this happening? This is happening? Oh gods this is happening..." Reinholdt goes from reassuring to antsy and panicky real quick, bouncing left and right on his feet. "Ok ok ok, breathe. Phewphewphewphew." Rein appears to be attempting to hyperventila...

[Fairy Tales] "We're writing the story right now," Reinholdt tells Venus. That's what this meeting has been all about! They'll worry about exact words and such later. Sentences are just metaphorical shackles in the sea that is creativity. "Alright. Our heroine's name is Jane and she ...

[Black Abyss Milk Factory] " Nyyoooo!! " Raven cries out as the superhero crushes Beefcake's head, face marred with trembling rage. "Damn you Tempest!" The catgirl curses, unleashing a bombard of bullets in the minotaur's direction while Brian steps up behind his mistress. The o...

[Fairy Tales] "Women are people too," Maria quietly informs Mr C. "Skeletons can be cute. Have you never celebrated Día de los Muertos, Halloween, or Spooktober before?" Reinholdt asks as he writes down El with one tally mark and Jane with two tally marks under potential names. ...

[Project Icarus] The Phyrexian Nymph tilts her head up slightly. "I am Ilpholin Ghaunaer Xar'cha." Her hand waves towards the screen. "And you... you are reinforcements, said you. In other words, if anything, you were sent to work under me. Do you want me to believe that you went out...

[Project Icarus] A second monitor pops to life, flickering on with a warm glow and revealing a scowling face framed by long purple hair. Deep emerald eyes with black sclera stare down at Svartha with cold calculation. " Wrong. I did it here," Ilpholin clarifies, speaking curtly. "Wha...

[Fairy Tales] "A meta-narrative would be tipping our hand to the King, it's true. Though I think he'd probably figure out what we're up to either way if it has any effect to begin with," Reinholdt muses. "I don't think making the story would cause it to happen in real life though. He...

[Bellamy House] "Yeah... yeah, she's safe," Reinholdt assures them through repeated kisses of Manja's forehead and hugging her tight and letting Manja hold him. He will kiss that forcefield away and make sure Manja gets the affection and reassurance she deserves. "I have no idea who ...

[Black Abyss Milk Factory] Raven Ebondark's head was never in cover and she's more than prepared to deal with an errant milk bottle, flicking her- oof! Or Rose could toss herself at Raven. That works too, to a less effective degree. Much as Raven normally loves Rose tossing herself onto the Empress...

[Around the World in Eighty Posts] Reinholdt gives a smile and a wink before falling into the lake, pulling Sylvia with him. It's cold. The potions do nothing for that. But they can indeed breathe underwater, as easily as they can air. Whether she finds that out without panicking is another story. ...

[Fairy Tales] "A storied reflection of our own discoveries? Interesting. Could work. Has a strong skeleton to work with." Reinholdt taps the table in thought at Dorota's suggestion. "We may not need to go so far as to have him kill her whole family. What about a simple case of Eminen...

[Project Icarus] "I'm afraid I can't let you to do that Doctor," HALlelujah says, the lab doors audibly closing, locking and sealing. "The risk is too great to allow a physical meeting at this time. You may, however, confer with them via a video call. Shall I patch you through?"...

[Bellamy House] Sirena breaks Rein's grip, half because he lets go the instant Manja gets shoved towards him in order to grip her defensively. Child in hand, he immediately steps back away from the would be kidnapper with a blatant hiss. He doesn't get a good look, largely because he's immediately ...

[Project Icarus] 'Their' existence? Interesting. Slip of the tongue, or did Tauron consider himself separate somehow? Nahlrae won't push to find out at this time, there are cookies to be hunted. HALlelujah flicks on a monitor to the foyer where the Phyrexians are packed in and restless. "Getti...

[Fairy Tales] "We know of a swamp where he likes to hold court is, but going into his domain to spy is perilous." Rein knows of someone who confronted the King in Rags in his domain and it didn't go well for them. Reinholdt ends up circling Rebellious Everywoman and erasing the other name...

[Project Icarus] "I didn't think Phyrexians made mistakes," Nahlrae observes. He'll accept the myr's offer and gets out of the vat, covered in uncomfortable amounts of slime and dripping it all over the floor. "... I'm getting a cookie," Nahlrae declares, in defiance of his Moth...

[Black Abyss Milk Factory] "They're still... no, no why would anyone ever include sensory feedback on... GAHHH!!" As Raven turns her head towards Rose, Beefcake gets a bottle of milk in his face. It probably doesn't help he was trying to dislodge his weapon from the debris. Beefcake's han...

[Project Icarus] "It means I'm twice as thoughtful as you. May we hurry this up?" Things were... bearable when Nahlrae had something to do, but the agony of this procedure is still far too intense and he doesn't want Tauron spending the next ten minutes asking questions instead of putting...

[Project Icarus] "Just a little further Tin Man," Nahlrae lets Tauron know. "I'm aware Father ," Nahlrae adds, in his most 'yeah duh' voice he can manage. Nahlrae grits his teeth and steels his resolve just to spite the old man as they both dive into deadly darkness once more. I...

[Fairy Tales] "I don't believe we have time travel capabilities, but I'm willing to be surprised." Maybe someone in here had a really cool time traveling car or something. Not that Rein thinks it's a good idea to use. Rein's going to mark out Fey Adversary from the list and put one mark n...
