The Nexus

Fourth Tower Compound "No, I... got confused." She turns to Bontu, her goat-like eyes staring right ahead, their peculiar shape making it difficult to see just what the satyr is focusing on. "Bontu, right?" She doesn't wait for an answer. "You ever felt like you were in a d...

[Cessie's Office] Khafir straightens, regaining a more respectful distance from the commander. "...If I am understanding you correctly, then," she begins again, "we will be turning the project over to them, but I will be going with it. Not as a permanent transfer of personnel, but as...

[Fox Hunt - Remixed] "Well, maybe you could get your chance today. They're magnificent animals." Obriane gets up and gestures to the north west. "It did go that way, let's try to follow it and see if we can spot it. Wouldn't that be amazing for your first trip?" She gestures for...

[Fox Hunt - Remixed] Obriane grins. "Glad you like the idea. I will talk to Kitty about it then. You want me to mention it to their parents to or do you want them to take care of that?" She inquires before turning her attention to the tracks May pointed out. Her eyes widen as she carefull...

Cry Havoc "Oh, uh, no problem." Raheeda makes a quick salute to Vy before turning to address the undead before they disappear down into the sewers. "Just remember to always watch out for ghuls. They got bodies of people but faces of hyenas and they want to eat you up." Ghuls ate...

[Fox Hunt - Remixed] "I think so. In fact, perhaps I could take all three of you on a little camping trip someday. Just over a weekend." Obriane muses idly. Sounds like something she would enjoy as well. "But, uh, what else do you see if you look around, May? Any other tracks or sign...

[Cessie's Office] The commander nods, finding Khafir seemingly strong opinions on the matter curious. In a way this felt like when she could understand the doctor much better then at nearly any other point during the conversations. It was strangely refreshing. "The question had to be asked I'm...

[Outten Inn] Sounded like they had experience alright. "I take it you're from a more advanced society than me then, at least technologically speaking." Ava remarks as she glances at her new cards before looking back at the pair. Trying to determine how good a hand they were sitting on. It...

[Cessie's Office] "I didn't believe they were your creation considering their intended purpose." She couldn't see Khafir getting the idea to trying to help people emotionally . "But please do clarify as much as you can about the project. Since I might be missing crucial details. For ...

[Fox Hunt - Remixed] Right. Predator, not hunter. Not that May had really internalized the distinction yet. Both terms were still murderers, weren't they? Just like she was. "It does! That's funny." May finishes peering, then hands the binoculars back to Obriane. "I don't think I've ...

[Fox Hunt - Remixed] "...huh, yeah." May squints, following Obriane's guidance - and notices a growing silence to the woods around them with it. "I guess we're not the only hunter out here, huh?" [Fox Hunt - Remixed] "Predator, not hunter. But that's not all. Take a closer ...

[Miss Hesperos Goes to Heaven] After a moment of thought Jaahlyn turns to look around the bus. "Well then, could everyone on the bus please introduce themselves then so this young man won't have to travel with strangers? His mother has told him not to." She doesn't need to shout, her voic...

[Cessie's Office] "So unless they're interacted with remotely you're the only person that can be close with these creatures without there being a reaction? I see." There's a pause. "Is there any way you can change that so they're easier to interact with? Like, it only triggering on e...

[Cessie's Office] Khafir pauses, staring at Cessie blankly (well, more blankly) as she processes the commander's orders. There's a moist chk as she opens her mouth, as though intending to say something, before closing it again. And then again, twice more, before she manages to say something. "...

[21F]

Well, since they had no test kitty person it looked like they needed to assume they couldn't just walk out so Yorumi's line of questioning seemed most promising right now.
"Yeah, how did you escape, Reina?"

[Fox Hunt - Remixed] "This area that's right next to a biking lane?" Obriane smiles ruefully. "Well, aside from that part areas around settlement or even just proper roads like these are tamed wilderness." Aside from wildside perhaps. "True forest wilderness don't have any ...

[Fox Hunt - Remixed] Obriane nods again with approval. "It's not foolproof but it's usually a good way to tell. But at the same time it tells you that they don't see us as predators when they sing. Birds that live further away from any settlements might feel differently about us though." ...

[Fox Hunt - Remixed] Obriane nods. "Good guess, and you would be right. I don't know what these birds are called either." The changling let's out a small chuckle. "However, you're a smart gal, May. Think about it for a second, what does birdsong mean to a hunter?" She raises a f...

[Triumphant Return] "Of course I know a supplier." Ambrosia claims. All she needed to do was to find one. Though right now she wanted to listen to Utayo's speculations since she certainly didn't have any intention to interrupt them. She could listen to this sort of thing for ages. But the...

[Shark to Meet You] "Yeah." Anika unhelpfully answers Maria's first question before already moving on to her other ones. "And... that's a long story, but there's no commanders here. No VIGIL commanders at least. They're all over in vigil. So it was just a random halo naga I guess. Yo...

[Shark to Meet You] The confident of Anika's smile doesn't waver even to a question like that. "Oh for sure, cutting out the best parts of the meat, spices, the ways to heat it up, all that good stuff." She nods. "But this was something, uh, different. Wasn't even a fireplace in ther...

[Shark to Meet You] "It was your i- nevermind." Maria must have confused herself. "I've found the food nutritionally sufficient. I fail to see what counts as better than that." Maybe nutritionally rich? That might count. Maria frowns with concern but takes her seat, carefully ma...

[21F] There could have been worse clothes to wear, since at least those didn't hinder Reina's movements or could get stuck on things. "Like the whole prison is employing elves as guards." Insane. Dena remarks with a frown. Since that was dangerous indeed. She would clarify that it wasn't ...

[Fox Hunt - Remixed]

Obriane nods. “That’s a good start. So what kind of birds do you hear?” It’s a bit of a trick question.

[Church of Venus] "Perhaps I should have introduced myself by name instead then since am Ambrosia Ithil and I am a scholar of dragons. Though in this case my interest is spirits and fey. A field where religion and science just so happen to intersect." She makes a dismissive gesture. "...

[Fox Hunt - Remixed] Obriane's face seems to lit up as May declares that she wants to learn how to hunt fully. "Well, hunting is actually a great deal of fun since as much about taking care of animals as it is hunting them." She puts her arm around May's shoulder and starts walking again....

[Fox Hunt - Remixed] "Do you want to learn how to hunt? Since there's plenty of ways depending on how you feel about it. Since actual hunting is so much more than just chasing down the prey. It's all about maintaining a balance to ensure that you always have access for prey to hunt and that's ...

[Fox Hunt - Remixed] "Then tell me, why are we out here?" Obriane asks as she slightly misunderstands May's intentions by taking her hand when she reaches out for her arm. But depending on how May reacts, she will let her just take her arm. "Since my dad also took me out on walks lik...

[Fox Hunt - Remixed] Fey belonging to nature is nothing but a harmful stereotype, May. Embrace modernity! "Ready?" Obriane asks with a smile. "It's not a test or even something difficult. We're just going to walk around for a while. It's the most natural thing in the world, you know?...

Fox Hunt - Remixed Obriana's instructions to May was clear. Appropriate clothing, the usual hunting gear but no weapons besides a survival knife and a camping axe. Since she was not here to hunt, she was here to observe . Hunting was something that would come later. They would bike to the spot as i...
