The Nexus

Cassidy quirks an eyebrow. "What, like, real coffee? 'S pretty damned rare back home, pretty much everyone drinks soykaf in the Barrens." She's about to elaborate on what she might want when they get interrupted by... jeez, this lady was awkward. Cassidy quickly waves a hand. "One wor...

Olvisin is followed by a less small person, with an equally big presence. Cassidy without her guns is an odd sight to anyone familiar with her, but she doubted that would be an issue. She looks around, pursing her lips a little bit. "No kidding," she says, "I don't see a cobweb or a c...

[Post-Tattoo Examination] Cassidy straightens out a few of the wrinkles from her tanktop, but it's rather slow going, for some mysterious reason. "Oh hey, you could get one of those dragons from some of the old trids I've seen. Or some other big scene like that. Straight into the deep end's th...

"I already had one. That's why I'm 'ere." Michalson waves his right hand around him. It clearly isn't moving correctly. "I decided to go legit. Became a detective. No more runnin' around on gigs or searchin' for trouble." "I wasn't aware you were only allowed the one. Why, ...

[Raptors!] Yes, Iamar is clearly the kind of person who needs strict orders to get some rest. Then again, Wenomir isn't really one to talk. "Good luck, then." As if sensing that Iamar will be leaving, Coco headbutts her affectionately. Iamar nods towards Wenomir. "I will return as so...

[Post-Tattoo Examination] Olvisin will find that her energy and enthusiasm are returned in spades by Cassidy- and maybe find a few marks of her own here and there. Early the next morning, Cassidy is lacing up her usual combat boots, having dressed in her normal clothing. The only notable exception ...

[Raptors!] "At the very least, I would check that she is alright before I return to my duties." She certainly didn't feel any different than she did yesterday, despite that being nearly two years ago. But perhaps Wenomir had a point in stressing her need to rest. "Thank you for your ...

"Topple empires?" Michalson snorts. "I've never aimed quite this high. I was just one of many with a grudge against one particular pack of oppressive dazzlers. Whether or not we succeeded, well, that's a big question." "And I was hardly successful in my own ventures - or ra...

[Tattoo Examination]

Cassidy grins and leans down to make touching easier for Olvisin. "You could, theres a lot to read." Then, she leans just a little closer, her voice dropping in volume. "And you've got all night to absorb all the details you want."

[Tattoo Examination] "You're not kidding. Started getting them when I was... fourteen? Something like that. Back when I joined my first chain gang." Cassidy points out the flaming pumpkin on her arm, before running it up the flames to a small scene of a motorcycle on her shoulder, leaving...

[Raptors!] "You are certain? I am not injured in any way..." Iamar takes a deep breath. No, he was right. She had lost so much time, and now she needed to catch up. "At the very least, I should ensure that Naku is alright. Outside of Vigil, she is likely the only one in the Nexus I c...

Rhaka waves her hand in a very dismissive manner. "In lives like ours, we make many a choice. We plunder tombs, topple empires, and leave trails of bodies in our wake. The more we question them, the madder we become. I stopped questioning my choices a long time ago.

[Tattoo Examination] "Thought you'd never ask," Cassidy says, quickly moving to get more parts of her costume off. "This thing got itchy as all hell over the night. Guess it doesn't help that I was wearing my normal clothes underneath it." She cackles as the rainbow shirt comes ...

[Tattoo Examination] Cassidy's mask is fully off now, along with the red wig she had worn in the Spooktober party, stashed away in a bag she's carrying. She's smoothing over her short crop of black hair as she glances down at Olvisin with a grin. "Yeah, Snig was always pretty good about making...

[Raptors!] Iamar takes a deep breath, then lets it out. "I appreciate the honesty. It's not as though I can do anything to get this year back." She straightens herself. "I shall simply have to pick myself up where I left off, and ensure that I can still perform my duties to my usual ...

At that, Rhaka laughs a little. "Do pardon me, does your kind only live to the age of fifty? Some mixing of bloods, perhaps? In my old age, I've found that opportunities only stop appearing when you stop finding them." She turns her words over in her head. "Though I will confess, I ca...

"Ah, if I had a gil for every adventurer I'd met who was unsure of their path..." Rhaka chuckles, gesturing vaguely with her full-again glass. "You're young yet. Opportunities present themselves."

[Raptors!]

"Yes... that would likely be for the best." Iamar looks at the report one more time, softly shaking her head. "So much time has passed in the blink of an eye..." What happened in the time she had lost? What of her friends?

[Gals With Guns]

"Eh, from what the samurai I've known have told me, the need for new chrome kinda emerges in the moment." Cassidy blinks a few times. "That sounded gory. What I mean is, don't grok it, yeah? You've already got some sweet arms, you'll figure the rest out."

[Gals With Guns] "Hah! He can grumble as much as he likes, but he'll get used to it eventually." Cassidy laughs again, making the internal note to see Dipsnig some time. "Oh yeah, there's plenty of warez for that. Dome knows more than I do, so give us a look if you ever find yourself...

[Gals With Guns] "Hm, those sound like new names to me. Maybe I should catch up with old Snig sometime, see how his crew's treating him." Her eyebrows waggle just a little at the mention of an apparently handsome human, but she makes no further mention of it. "Oh, I ran with a street...

"No, I suppose not." The lemon muffin's wrapper has disappeared - curious, for someone who had pnly been observed taking one bite. "In such a... diverse land, I imagine such shortcuts would be quite useful, yes? Even if it makes me wonder why you left your home in the first place.&qu...

Raptors!

"A strange form of defense, especially against one who had made no threats against them." Iamar lets out a sigh. "What is to be done?

[Raptors!] Iamar's eyebrows knit together. This was getting stranger by the secone. "I found the mission's target, entering a hut in a forest, and surveyed for an evening. After which I returned, and reported back that further investigation was likely unnecessary." She shakes her head. &q...

"Elf, elf, elf..." Rhaka almost sounds like she's testing the word in her mouth, before she nods. "Ah, yes. I've seen a few here - rather similar to Elezen from my own home. Rather haughty, if my memory serves." Her eye briefly follows Michalson's hand as it moves. "Not to ...

Gals With Guns "Well, it used to be MERC, but I struck out on my own. Flew solo for a while, but I'm starting to put together a crew. Wrench just joined us, Dome has been my decker for a while now..." Cassidy shrugs a little. "We're still getting used to working together, there's som...

[Raptors!] Iamar gives Coco one more parting pet before she follows to the command centre, looking at each of the archived missions from... how long ago? "This is... a great length of time I have missed," she murmurs, before pointing out one particular mission archive - a scouting run to ...

[Gals With Guns] "Oh hey, that's pretty wiz," Cassidy says. "Nothing like knowing your crew's got your back no matter what." It's hard to see with her mask, but she's grinning again. "I had a few crews like that back home, but I think it's easier to get in these parts."

[Raptors!] "Hmm." That's not very precise. "Let's go to the command centre. We should be able to find that mission in the archives." "Right, of course. I will follow closely." Iamar shook her head once more. Now that she thought about it... "My quarters had collec...

[Gals With Guns]

"Damn. You could make a crew with numbers like that." Cassidy lets out a cackle. "I've never really had family like that. In the Barrens, you kinda choose your family, you feel me?"
