The Nexus

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...

Chateau Interview The half-elf in question has brown hair and eyes, and quite pale skin dusted with freckles. She's avoided the medical check-ups that were offered, and seems a bit of a loner- she's not associating much with the other ex-slaves. She's wearing a pair of jeans and a brown cardigan ov...

Outdoor Movie Pl-A-ce "I'm not sure... Hold on a moment." Agate stands up and grips her soul gem as she approaches the oncoming slushy. She's not being subtle about her approach, since she thinks it pointless to try hiding from something you can't see or otherwise detect (telepathy is not...

Aiko's Bad Day Bloodplunder Residence "If they were here, I could. My magic isn't harmful or particularly long-ranged; what I was going to attempt is an old trick I picked up on identifying and analysing ongoing magical effects, particularly enchantments and curses. I could demonstrate how ben...

Looming Spaceship "Yeah, pixies and sprites are pretty closely related. They're a bit smaller, don't have pouches, but they do have antennae. They aren't scientists, either. They're second-rate alchemists, pharmacists, or chemistry drop-outs trying to make cash or get high." Boada smiles ...

Outside Movie Pl-A-ce Earl hereby christens Darko's invisible friend 'Alfredo Al' Aching-Appendix the Angsty Agate flinches at the first piece of popcorn bounces off her head, before turning around to try and find the source of the raining movie snacks. As a Magical Girl, she's got the ability to s...

Looming Spaceship "You'd have had to, he wouldn't trust me enough to follow me to an all-you-can-eat buffet." Let alone an ominous looming spaceship overhead. "Well, yeah. But that doesn't stop people wanting them, especially if they're poor and desperate or rich and bored. Pixie dus...

Under the Sea "Some, aye. Several ways t' do it, methinks. One be necromancy, stealin' a soul from somewhere else an' chainin' it t' th' construct's figure. That be dark an' unpleasant. Second be a prayer, gettin' a priest t' bless th' works regular an' hope it works th' way ye want. Third be ...

Outdoor Movie Pl(a)ce "Well, if this date works, that can be our first, and if it doesn't and we want to just be friends after, it doesn't matter. Right? I don't want to not be your friend after, even if it doesn't work, right?" Agate smiles and cuddles back, before settling next to the c...

Looming Spaceship "It's easy, but that doesn't mean there's no effort to it, y'know? Like, if I swap size too often I need to eat something to keep going. And I've got a pretty fast metabolism in general, hence the jar of lollipops in my pouch." Boada needs lots of energy to keep going, j...

Under the Sea "Simple, I weren't built t' have a childhood. Learnin' ain't me purpose. I c'n do it, an' I have, but it don't come naturally t' me. Not like carin' for me siblings be." The pair of pistols Frigate usually has at his waist, as well as his cutlass; made by the same warsmith, ...

Outdoor Movie Pl-A-ce "I don't know. Does that arcade thing count as a date? We traded phone numbers afterwards, didn't we?" That seems like a good end of a date activity, even if they haven't communicated using the phones yet. Agate's phone is so old it even has a little antennae stickin...

Aiko's Bad Day Bloodplunder Residence Nana won't stop the hug any time soon, that's for sure; she's always willing to hug as long as the other party wants or needs to. She's got a very firm grip for an old woman, and is far stronger than one would expect of a little old lady. "Good morning, Da...

Ecbatana Sure, Aiko. 'Interesting choice of charges' to accuse Irrgoth/Ivan the Inept/Weaselflicker of grave robbing and cannibalism. The King of Immonia only knows one thing to do with a corpse, Irrgoth has mastered 13,030 more uses than Amadius Molimorte. "Ah, yes miss, of course. This way.&...

[Looming Spaceship] " Er... no. A kangaroo looks like this. " X-1 said, a startlingly lifelike hologram of a kangaroo appearing next to it and absolutely towering over them before it remembered to shrink the image down so that it was roughly the right relative size. " And I've never ...

Abandoned Motorway- Alice's Camp "Alice is removing her sister's egg, the one that tipped the arrow she used. As I don't want to be eaten from the inside, I'm letting her." Of course, the medical nanobots of the super-bandages Khannie used already sterilised the wound and killed the egg, ...

Under the Sea "Th' big gods where I be from, they don't be minglin' wi' mortals much. They do be sendin' angels an' what-not on occasion, though. I never met one." Frigate shrugs about the gods and angels. "Aye, ye may have a soul, but ye be a direct copy o' yer creator, aye? Carved ...

[Outdoor Movie Pl-A-ce] Asami pushes the blanket to the side so she can see what Agate is holding, gazing curiously at the shilling. At Agate's question, Asami pauses for a second and looks lost. Suddenly, she smiles brightly. "Yeah, like a date," she agrees confidently, moving to hold Ag...

Aiko's Bad Day Bloodplunder Residence Koko recognises the lounge. There's Nana's favourite armchair, covered in fur blankets, with a wooden side-table next to it, a mug of kumis on top of yesterday's newspaper. Over there is probably the sofa, though it's hard to tell with the visitors present. The...

Aiko's Bad Day Bloodplunder Residence Stinky-chan follows the two to the house, before deciding to find out what's in Koko's pockets, with her nibbly lips and tongue. The front door is unlocked, and leads into a small foyer. The single door leads into a hallway, with the living room to the left and...

The intellect devourer dives under a table to avoid the bullets or laser fire, though there's a psychic squeal as it's winged by one of the shots and a splash of grey-green ichor is pooling in its footprints. It darts from table to table to keep cover, heading towards the door. It's slower now, to a...

Under the Sea "Kraken be preferin' cooler waters t' sea serpents, though leviathans can be found throughout the oceans an' move around a lot." Migrating like the gigantic whales they are. "Nay, ne'er met a true god. Met a few little 'uns, though. Sea nymphs, reef gods, an' the like. ...

Outdoor Movie Pl-A-ce "One of these." Agate produces a round silver-coloured coin worth twelvepence, a profile of a woman on one side, the words REGINA + ELIZABETH II DEI GRATIA around her head, and a coat of arms on the other with three slender lions within a shield topped by a crown, 19...

Aiko's Bad Day Bloodplunder Residence A simple tug is all it takes to get Stinky-chan to let go of the journal; it's not the first time she's tried eating something she shouldn't. Likely won't be the last, either. She bleats in response to Darko's accusations, and leans into Koko's scritches. This ...

The Keldon's head cracks open and he slumps to the floor, his brain having apparently grown two pairs of scaled legs as it cracks its way free and leaps for the door. The Keldon's dead, but the intellect devourer that had been masquerading as the dead adventurer has not managed to escape yet. What i...

Looming Spaceship "I don't know what a kangaroo is. Are they usually invisible?" Boada has been to the zoo, but mostly because it's a good place to pick some pockets. She didn't pay attention to the animals. "I have no idea what most of those words mean. It's just... Sprite magic. An...

Under the Sea "Nay. Ye be right 'bout unintended consequences, and besides, of three vessels what been attacked, one were destroyed. An' the ships here be ironclads an' steamers, quicker 'n faster 'n what I be used to. At that speed, I be doubtin' it be much of a threat." Frigate follows ...

Outdoor Movie Pl-Ace It may be rude elsewhere, in the UK it's a social crime of the basest and most reviled sort. Agate smiles as Asami as the star-person climbs out of the bin, and will pick the bin back up whilst Asami brushes herself down. "Yeah, just me today. I've not seen the film, and I...

Real Arcade "I didn't apply. I was assigned. Everyone on the Doomed Hero program was. I applied for the Plucky Hero course. And the wish with Kyubey's been broken before." At least three times, though Agate only knows of two. And only once did the method not involve dying, and in once ins...
