The Nexus

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...

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 ...
