The Nexus

[Skye's Apartment - Ava] Ava doesn't realize her mistake until it is too late. Skye had warned her many times of getting too close but in that moment she had just wanted to cheer her up. The young woman had already been through so much that it felt unfair that she had more pain inflicted on her by ...

[Skye's Apartment - Ava] Ava nods, if it had been anyone else she would have felt confident in her ability to spot the smallest detail out of place but it being Skye makes her second-guess her own instincts. But now that Skye mentioned it, her shoulders were a bit too broad weren't they? "It i...

[Skye's Apartment - Ava] "I can certainly try." She glances at the watch. "You shouldn't feel stressed though, we got this alright? Twenty four hours might as well be all the time in the world for this." Though admittedly, the idea of her changing the teenager didn't sit right w...

[Skye's Apartment - Ava] Ava had imagined it being like a polymorph effect that Skye was just going to dispel. But as she enters the room she realizes that the poor had to do this manually which seemed pretty cruel in itself. "Skye, you're going have to put yourself together? You poor girl.&qu...

[Skye's Apartment - Ava] Well, this all sounded outlandish and bizarre but at least it seemed to be solvable. She slowly nods in understanding to what Skye was saying. "Alright." Ava says in as calm a voice as she can muster in this situation. "I'll step out so you can turn yourself ...

[Skye's Apartment - Ava] Ava gets pale as she hears this. The situation really dawning on her as she felt Skye's new scales. A ME , fuck. She had never thought she'd witness one and even less that it would be to someone she knew. "A mistake ? Jeez." She will take the teenagers other hand ...

[Skye's Apartment - Ava]

It takes Ava a moment to realize she didn't just look a bit like Skye it was her.
The drow blinks. "Skye? Oh Brend, what has happened to you?" She cautiously approach and offers her hand. Not sure what else to do in a situation like this.

[Skye's Apartment - Ava] Ava was simply here to make an impromptu food delivery. Skye was usually home at this time and she hadn't been answering her phone so she had just invited herself in to place the food on the table. She was just writing a note when Skye, or at least a snake-woman with a rese...

[Lab] And of course the very first things Skye looks into fixing are the fact that she's unable to blink. That one was a particularly heinous problem for her. Breathing out a deep sigh as her eyes gain lids once more, she looks to Libra, "... Well then. I'm going to go and find a mirror, and c...

Lab Libra claps her hands together and lets out a huge sigh of relief. "Grand." She then holds up her hand and within it appears a pocket watch that she offers to Skye. "Here. It'll count down how many hours there are left of your powers. Just don't let anyone else have it, okay? Unl...

[Damundra Canyon] How fast, or slow, it acts seems to depend on the writing but lets say that she's resisted it for now. Emily can pick up the scent though as it's quite strong. But it also seems to come from almost directly beneath her from where the trap she almost walked right into. Since if she...

[Run Rabbit Run] Raheeda looks to her shoulder. Unsure if what she now felt was a good thing or not. "Uh, well, we barely know you miss ghost. But maybe you would feel better with some company? Since I heard that glog has ghosts so maybe you want to come along with us and hang out with them?&q...

[The Widening Gyre] Cessie's focus had to be on the rift. She had to trust Jace with dealing with any sort of threats near the home. Not usually the kind of duty she wanted to give to a new member but here they were. Then the few seconds of focus she needed have passed. And so she unleashes what wo...

[Shark to Meet You] Anika actually eat much like Maria does. Efficient and without much in the way of conversation. Though she does pause in-between bites and nods to the notion of timekeeping. "You said it, sister. I can't even keep track of my own age these days." Zhareen had gone back ...

[On the Dragons' Trail] "Do you know why they're called wood dragons? Since the name seems to be something of a misnomer taxonomically speaking. Usually my interests only align with the so-called 'true' dragons." Ambrosia inquires, not that it would be strangest name they could have consi...

Dena smiles back. "Right. Of course." She honestly wasn't sure what Reina was on about. If the tower could hear them, wouldn't it just have sent down the guards by now? Or perhaps the force keeping them here was different from the one controlling the guards with no communication between th...

[Triumphant Return] Ambrosia's eyes widen as soon as Utayo poses this question. The mere thought of being stolen from again sending shivers down her spine. "Always. I wouldn't even have left it if it wasn't for you." Wait... "I mean, your expertise is invaluable in this." She ne...

[Floating Island] The mimic tilts its head in confusion at the comment about 'encrypted crypto drives' but doesn't question that for now. Instead it starts addressing the question. She does comment on the dragon behavior though. "Is that so, honey? Since given the little I do know I wouldn't b...

[Floating Island] "An honor." Ji-Su replies with a surprisingly elegant bow considering that they're sitting in response to their formal introduction. The mimic then pauses as he starts his introduction. It raises its scythe when he raises concerns for the book spines. "Oh, this one ...

[On the Dragons' Trail] "Dragons. Wood dragons in this instance. Though as you would know, the job involves a lot more than just studying." Though probably not the same thing. In reality, most of her job would involve traveling around trying to confirm ancestry claims to dragons among var...

[Floating Library] "While I can't verify any of them, I've read accounts of people finding themselves walking into what seems to be a different world without there being a clear transition between the two. So I wouldn't discount the possibility out of hand." The mimic points out. "Fr...

[On the Dragons' Trail] Well, at least that's not an immediate cause of concern then. "I don't know about combing through any ruins. That sort of thing is considered taboo where I'm from. But yes, I am hardly your standard scholar either. Though in my case it's more about dissuading the occasi...

[Floating Library] "That... doesn't sound like the kind of dragon that I know of, honey. Curious. Perhaps you've done more planar traveling that you've realized since it dawns on me that we might not be talking about the same kind of dragons here. Or perhaps I'm more ignorant about the outside...

[Shark to Meet You] Maria raises an eyebrow as Anika fails to find the name of a class for a magical forensic investigator and history nerd. Probably NPC. Maybe a quest giver. "Yes, uh, something indeed." Still the librarian blushes a little and brushes some hair away from her eyes. It's ...

[On the Dragons' Trail] "Oh, my apologies. When you said your job was to track him down I made some assumptions." Though given the range of scholars she had meet in the nexus she really shouldn't have. "Scholars where I'm from usually travel around with a 'handler' of some sort."...

[Floating Library] "Yes, the whole respect thing gets complicated with dragons. They demand respect because they are stronger; when I point out that I'm stronger than they are (physically, at least), and therefore they should be respecting me , they get a little huffy and declare that's not it...

Vision Mary looks conflicted. "I don't... How would I even do that?" Even though she does feel bad for Attar, she doesn't fully trust it. "I don't know where this is or how to open portals or anything." Vision "I must-" There's a pause as it sounds like Attar is strugg...

[Run Rabbit Run] One imagines that in that moment of silence a cricket felt it appropriate to chirp somewhere nearby. "To avoid the bar. Since it was the other kind of bar. Not the tavern kind of bar." Raheeda explains helpfully. Harley had at least laughed so she felt it hadn't landed to...

[On the Dragons' Trail] "It does, yes." Shayna sighs. "He's a cliff-folk sorcerer, they tend to get a bit spacey in their old age. One of my jobs is to track him down now and then. It'll be easier if he used any sorcery out there. Let me just get my coat." Shayna will step insid...

[Floating Library] "Dragon s ? As in multiple ?" The mimic tilts its head. "Darling, not only are you indestructible but you're also from another world. No wonder you're so interested in the mechanics of interdimensional travel. But then again, we never really get normal visitors her...
