At Home on the Range "So, like, the Nexus is a big bowl hanging under every other world, right? And stuff falls down? Sometimes a world ends, and a whole bunch of grottiness comes down to the Nexus. It lands in the same place, emerging in Apocalypse Junction. The Nexus seems to put stuff where...

Re: PREP Highschool
Ecbatana This doesn't seem like it was a slum for long. It's a slum now, true, but where it's not mud underfoot there's fine paving slabs with edges marking what were once paths. Now, often, a shack or tent has been built astride the path, and it's no longer anywhere near as well-maintained. The oc...

He is not currently feeding Jace. Or, at least, not feeding Jace more than a loyal dog protecting their human would; it's a more instinctual determination than usual. And currently he's got no real goals he's working towards. "Ah, a bunch. Murder, malignant sorcery, fraud, even treason. All lie...

Chateau Interview "A... nickel? An ingot of metal? Why would you want two of them?" That particular phrase apparently goes over Nasrin's head, as she's unfamiliar with the coins. But she is at least aware nickel is a metal, and given her history as working in a port it's possible that she...

Outdoor Movie Pl-A-ce Agate gasps as Asami pulls her into a hug, grip on the gem tightening briefly and loosening again. She hugs back, with a smile, but once she's free it'll go back into the pocket where she took it from. It's also not the source of the effect; it's the focus of Agate's magic, an...

Re: Tales from the Octahedron - Expedition into the Dark
Ex-Encyclopede Expedition True, but he's not aware of that. Not truly. He is aware when the Encyclopedes implant memories, though usually the memories formed when the Encyclopedes work dissipate as the others do when they've finished with his brain and want to empty it again ready for next time. &q...

At Home on the Range It's not long before the gunslinger has emptied the magazine and puts the gun back into her pocket. "Yeah, I'm Sian. Sian Farkas. You are?" She walks over to a chair and sits down, grabbing a bottle of hopefully-water and taking a swig. "Yeah, I've been to the Ju...

At Home on the Range When Eddie looks, this is where Sian can be found. She's a human woman in her early thirties, her hair dyed purple but the roots are blonde. She's got blue eyes and tanned skin, wearing a pair of khaki combat trousers and a heavy looking greatcoat with immense pockets. Oddly, s...

She's maybe twelve years old, and her uniform is altered by heavy boots and a necklace with a yellow ag...

Their passive equipment continues to record, and once they depart the structure they begin to ma...

"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.

So is her shirt; they're both clean and dry, somehow. Agate didn't clean up, as such. She cheated by transforming into ...
