The Nexus

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...

The Shamrock "I'm no more minor than I want t'be. That's why I don't want your tech. I start meddling with that shit, Intersection's gonna come down like a tonne of bricks, followed by two more tonnes of bricks. And whoever comes after, they might not be so principled. Your tech scares me, I a...

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...

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...

Aiko's Bad Day Bloodplunder Residence "She is safe here. If anything happens to her, which we can't fix, I'll saddle up Rumblehoof and burn the house of whoever is responsible to the ground." There's enough steel in the old woman's eyes and voice that Lathalelle and her partner shudder an...

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...

Dragon Dorms There's a dwarf here now. She's attracting quite a bit of attention, mostly suspicious and borderline hostile. She has green eyes and her hair is metallic copper, held in a ponytail. She's maybe twelve years old, and her uniform is altered by heavy boots and a necklace with a yellow ag...

Chateau Interview "The Guild always seemed so... omnipresent, to me. Hard to believe it was bluffing." But Nasrin claims to have been a slave at a skyport. If it was Guild run, they would have been everywhere. "A tower? That sounds perfect, thankyou." The half elf smiles, and ta...

Encyclopede Expedition The myriapod scholars gather everything except Nemo and start to depart, pens still and camera silent, as they very unusually don't gather further data from within the Octohedron. Their passive equipment continues to record, and once they depart the structure they begin to ma...

Under the Sea "Aye, waded in. I be too bulky t' jump." Which has indeed caused problems in the past. "Optimism be always warranted, Eddie. Pessimism just be depressin', long term." Earl could keep throwing monsters and encounters at the diving constructs all day, but at some poi...

Chateau Interview "Is it truly not far from Skyside? That... is hard to believe. How does the Guild tolerate it?" Mostly because it's not an active threat to their operations and it isn't worth the bad publicity. "I'd like somewhere that's... just mine. Before, I shared a bed and roo...

Outdoor Movie Place the A-Team... wait, wrong film Agate glares at the noisy people around, not realising the true culprit interfering with the film. "It's OK, Asami. I have a plan." The dwarf smiles, and takes her Soul Gem as she whistles softly. It's a low, musical sound, and hearing it...

Aiko's Bad Day Bloodplunder Residence "Yes, it's all over now." Lathalelle ends her spell, before curtsying to Koko and Darko. "Two of your splits are together, but a very long way away. Seaside, at a guess. The other appears to be baffling my attempts to locate it, although I don't ...

"Nah, ain't heard of her. Or him. Try the big organisations, they've got better resources for it. MERC, HALO, an' so on. MERC might be interested in clearin' out the place you know of, too. You bore me, now. I'll have a gallon of lager if you want more." They're in a pub, so theoretically...

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...
