The Nexus

Under the Sea "Be optimistic; mebbe they be remnants o' a horde what got washed out an' th' rest be fishfood, an' now th' problem be sorted." Eddie did note this patch would not have likely lasted more than a few more miles, as fish ate more muscle than they could move without and disinte...

Chateau Interview "The.... Good League of Good? It's real? I've... heard rumours, but... I wasn't sure it was real." Some of the other slaves would have suggested the same thing; some might even have been slightly scared of its mention, convinced a place with a name like that somehow didn...

"Sixteen-year-old human high priestess? Or archbishop or whatever title you lot give your ecclesiarchs. What church or temple would she serve?" The devil inhales a deep puff of smoke from his pipe, before exhaling it out into the face of his questioner, his mask remaining a rictus grin.

"Sure, I've been in town a while. Who's the broad you're looking for, and what's she look like?" A tonne of tobacco would be quite expensive, as well as bulky and awkward to move around. A thousand kilograms of anything is bulky, and tobacco is rather light. Rob leans back and starts to p...

Under the Sea "Aye, they be comin' outta Apocalypse Junction some times, amongst other stuff. I ain't been there, though; ye're best bet be findin' Sian an' talkin' t' her, she's the one what told I of it. Stake out th' range, I reckon, she'll show up sooner 'r late. Not th' armoury; she don't...

Encyclopede Expedition "I think... I think I trust you more, Lucia Sophia. I think... something mechanical? And... and anything you think someone should know, as well. The Encyclopedes' have... an odd understanding of what someone 'should' know, I think." It's potentially odd that Nemo wo...

The Shamrock "You wanted magic, I gave you magic. Leprechaun gold. Try flipping it, it'll land heads every time. Unless it lands on its edge. Gotta be quick, though. Leprechaun gold don't last. Not interested in your gold, nobody'd take it off me. Your tech- even the 'established' stuff- sound...

Hunting Class Agate shrieks as she falls, dropping her pistol as she does so. The harmonica pistol disappears as it's dropped. "Ah, yeah! I'm fine, I'm tougher than I look, if you can just... let me out, yeah?" Agate's slightly injured, but the stone holding her soul mostly numbs her pain...

Under the Sea "Mayhaps they be nigh-impossible, were they int'rested in us. They're not, be they? Ignorin' us completely." Indeed, even as the herd is being destroyed, none of the zombies react to the attacks. "E'en if'n they were interested, they'd be unable t' harm us, aye? So it b...

Chateau Interview Nasrin smiles wanly when Atya announces what she considers repayment for her freedom. "I can't help with that, not directly." She perks up a little when told she could be useful anyway, as a financial officer of some kind. Not directly related to what she was doing- maki...

Outdoor Movie Pl-A-ce There's a few flashes of light from the portaloos before Agate comes out again and starts heading back to her seat. She's wearing her jacket, and it's clean. So is her shirt; they're both clean and dry, somehow. Agate didn't clean up, as such. She cheated by transforming into ...

Aiko's Bad Day Bloodplunder Residence "Other two, you said? I'm picking up three connections. Although two are extremely similar. Your current appearance is... an additional effect, and may not be truly related to your condition. " Weaving her hands through the air and whistling a continu...

Encyclopede Expedition "We... can leave him here, or release him to go his own way. If he'll agree, we can implant some technical knowledge into his head so he can find ways to survive." If they can't wipe his memory, they don't really have a use for him. They can also replace him, althou...

"Heh! Sure. Wouldn't be a problem, I reckon. Not that it matters, if ye can't pay. No tobacco, no murder." Lighting his pipe, Rob sits back down and starts to take a few puffs of the strong tobacco.

Hunting Class Agate smiles, and gestures as she transforms again, throwing her Soul Gem in the air and catching it. A slight glow is emitted by her hand, travelling down her arm, across her head, and then down the rest of her body, leaving her transformed in its wake. She's no longer in her uniform...

The Shamrock "Ye should have been asked not t' record anything. I hope your scans don't save anywhere." The Fairy Godfather glowers, though he doubts having his sprites throw molotovs at the spaceship will do anything. His intimidation works on Boada, though, who steps to the side, away f...

Under the Sea There's a fair few boulders about this region of the seafloor, though many bear faint traces of having been worked a long time ago. The one that Eddie just used, caught at the right angle, seems to have a heavily-eroded face, as though once it were the head of a statue. The zombies st...

Chateau Interview "I don't... I don't want to be a drain, whilst I'm here. You gave me more than I could ever hope for or repay." Nasrin makes no comment about the therapists, but she might seek a tutor for something. "I can't really fight, but... I know logistics. Signing stuff in, ...

"Rob. Call me Rob." The mask covering the devil's face. "That was a brief respite from boredom. I'll clear it for ya. A tonne of tobacco's me price. It's worth it, they won't be able to stand against me. Squishy git like that, they won't have a chance. But it won't be sporting, neith...

Encyclopede Expedition Nemo shudders as the world around the group changes, eyes widening and shivering. He's going to cower away from the changes, and he gulps and recoils from the vatted people; something about that really disconcerts him and he can't quite say why. The Encyclopedes observe every...

Somewhere in the Desert

They have, unfortunately, abandoned the Swordsman. They're grateful to him; they also think he's dead. The cloud of dust kicked up by the tracks is still visible, in the distance, but only just. Not long before they go over the horizon.

Was Looming Spaceship, Now The Shamrock "Roight, that do sound... a little beyond me scope of operations. I peddle in desires and vice, not ending suns or whatnot. Would think detonating suns as you pass would defeat the purpose of a cloakin' device, but what do I know? I'm no chemitian, or wh...

Under the Sea The difference between a warsmith and a golemcrafter is one of focus. The first specialises in making weapons, some of which are self-animate; the latter specialises in making things that are self-animate, some of which are weapons. Pontius Dathrii, whose shop in Mallside sells constr...

Outdoor Movie Pl-A-ce Agate yelps as she's coated in iced slushy, and shivers. She takes off the baseball jacket, since that's pretty clearly stained, but at least the blue liquid doesn't show up as easily against her green shirt. "I'm fine, I just slipped. I'll pop to the loos, and clean myse...

Chateau Interview Half-elf, not a full elf, and not even as elf-looking as Atya is either. Her human blood is apparent in the thickness of her eyebrows, the shape of her earlobes, and so on. Put her next to a full elf- or even Atya, really- and it's quite apparent. "My name is Nasrin. My mothe...

Encyclopede Expedition "To begin... The date of manufacture and this structure's purpose. We are willing to answer some questions about our own origin and habits, if you have them. Most of our academic acquisitions are via trading knowledge for knowledge." It's an area they feel more comf...

Somebody joins in the hunt, overturning their table; partly to serve as a barrier, and partly to reveal the disembodied brain that had just scuttled under it. The individual in question is tall, nearly three metres, with a red-skinned face bearing two long and relatively straight horns. They're musc...

Aiko's Bad Day Bloodplunder Residence "If it hurts you, your Nana will throw me out, and if I'm lucky she'll aim for a window. George won't stop her, either." Lathalelle smiles, and isn't at all worried about the possibility of being hurled out via a wall. "Oh, I'd aim for the window...

The Shamrock It's not long before the door opens and a pair of sprite thugs enter. They're about a head shorter than Boada when she's scaled down, and both muscular males. Despite this, they both wear pink tutus and little tiaras, their wings buzzing as they fly. The one on the left is carrying a '...

Under th' Sea "Hm. Mayhaps. I ne'er really considered it. An' aye, though she had arms o' meat an' bone when we went. She's nay a twin, though. Ye met half o' them, they be quadlings." Not the word, Frigate. You mean 'quadruplets'. "It were tricky, rebuildin' me head. Couldn't see no...
