The Nexus

Off to See the Seer G'nichi nods. "Your magic is very helpful." Very helpful! Helping poor clanky knights. G'nichi moves forward, ducking down behind the boulder. He did say he didn't want to get into a fight, but he instinctively reaches into the bracelet to summon a weapon anyway. He ge...

[Ruinous] ~A monster who fucks up people's lives when they get bored see~ The Mannequin sags a little as Sele proclaims the end of its pain, now cut off from a significant source of its power. And the room ripples. Lapis is familiar with the feeling, though it feels even more obvious in this place ...

[Ruinous] Sarah coughs up another blood splatter onto the ground, but waves a hand dismissively. "No, I'm dying. This one's not new. Death magic is -cough- floating around." It isn't quite death magic, but Sarah also isn't a mage. ~There was a dirty rat heading up to bat~ Astral necromanc...

[Ruinous] Lapis is pulling out more Invocations (these skinwalkers seem to have no real defense against them, judging by that fire?) and is scooting along! Heading around the corner presents an odd sort of half-hallway. The first half of it seems pretty normal, if a bit on the wide side, and it ter...

[Magical Girl Herding - Poppy] Poppy's large eyes narrow into a very literally predatory scowl, and smacks the remnants of Khannie latest punch with her parasol, straight into another one that was wiggling its way towards Victoria's back. "Hrmm, Poppy alwayss thought it wass actually evil. All...

[Over the Mountains...] Well Rowan, your little compliment could have led to an awkward situation. Or heartwarming. Or unpleasant. The paths of fate and Frank's reaction were laid bare before you. But then you completely kneecapped it by bringing up that you were naked and made it weird . Frank cle...

[Ruinous] It's like ramming her sword down into a particularly thick blob of clay. Sele's sword is meeting a perturbing amount of resistance to its cutting. It is cutting it and effort put to this effect will get her through the door, but it's absolutely an unnatural amount of work required here. A...

Indecisiveness is rough. It's extra rough when you have so many choices! And all of them sound so cool! Strictly speaking, the system less slammed Kara into Digger and more Kara tried taking an action only a Digger would be able to do and so it was nice enough to scoot her down that path. Technical...

[Over the Mountains...] Ratticus did, in fact, talk a minute ago. Frank did not, in fact, process that a minute ago. He is currently doing an accusatory finger point at the rat and doing a great fish impression, opening and closing his mouth without saying anything. Ratticus thinks this is hilariou...

[Magical Girl Herding] The gnome eyes the pile of corpses again before painting a little bit of fire over the biggest portion. The smell of burning-Kyubey is terrible. "Hm, alright. Let's not waste any more time then. Get on." Then she begins painting a little magic carpet just outside th...

[Over the Mountains...] "Dude, you don't even look like my roommate. I'm not working off appearances here." Take that, otherwise sound Rowan-argument! Any enjoyment of the hug is purely reluctant, and withheld. He will not be giving the Rowan the pleasure of a told-you-so. Less so for the...

[Over the Mountains...] "If we get another roommate, he's bunking with you." Probably not safe to bunk with Frank. Also he likes his personal space. Which Rowan is immediately trying to infringe upon again. This is given a look of questionable misgiving. "Are you planning on running ...

[Magical Girl Herding] "Tahara...ain't that the roach girl?" A look of pretty undisguised disgust accompanies this. Her paintbrush is picked back up and the limp little Kyubey corpse is flicked off its end. "Ugh. Little bastard was being all coy about some big catastrophe coming up a...

[Over the Mountains...] "Hey, you asked me to give it to you straight." There's only a little bit of a defensive tone there, and a glare at the mouse that sticks his tongue out upon landing on the counter. Frank glowers at it, quickly trying to scrub that expression off before Rowan notic...

Kara absolutely understands the indecisiveness. She does that a lot. She's still sitting on some decisions, if she's being honest. Really, it's probably a good thing the system just slammed her into Digger, or she would have never actually picked a class... "I don't know much about the Husk stu...

[Magical Girl Herding] The moment that Khannie lands on the rooftop, triggering an alert snap of the head from the gnome, yet another Kyubey appears. It slides into the air behind her, evidently thinking itself rather clever, until she leans forward and rams the butt of her paintbrush into it and l...

[Over the Mountains...] "Dragon...sure...like from a children's cartoon maybe." While Rowan is getting that ice pack, Frank surreptitiously picks up The Good Mug and promptly tosses it behind him into the hidden safety of his bed covers. He'll put it where it belongs later, when Rowan isn...

[Pear-Tree Way] It's an interesting sort of style that Khannie always has, even if it's apparently just part of her Pokemon-existence. Much more interesting than Victoria's current somewhat-dirty ensemble. But she's not feeling super self-conscious about it, a thought that makes her feel a little p...

[Over the Mountains...] "You're a big lizard, man, not the kind of fleshy I was talking about." Frank, apparently subconsciously falling into the usual Rowan-Frank banter routine, snips back outside of his mostly-rational fear response. Which does briefly confuse him, before Rowan promptl...

In between moments, Kara has had a small debate with herself over something to mention to Catherine. It might help her out, but if it doesn't work it might make her feel worse? While most of her nods along seriously with return-to-the-actually-important-matter-at-hand and replies, another part of he...

Kara does generally find it rude to just magic your way into knowing things about people, outside of medical purposes where it's sort of vital to their health. Empyrean character sheet nonsense is close enough to that. "Sacrifice, huh." That's a word she's heard most often in sinister cont...

[Over the Mountains...] "Hehehe. Okay, that was a little funny." Frank is pulling back his arm with what looks like a whiffle ball in it, with a combination confused/suspicious look etched on his face. "My roommate is just a fleshy dude. I think you got the wrong room." He squin...

Oh right. She can do that, too. Kara actually frowns a bit at this remembrance, wondering how she let it slip her mind. It could really help to get some more things done... Whoops. Even now, still too many things going on with Empyrean-ness for her to remember every little one. "It all more or ...

[Over the Mountains...] "Ohshitcrap, uh, no! No I did not burn a perfectly ordinary peanut butter sandwich in the oven again! Ha. Ha. Haha." There is the sound of a window being thrown open and something brick-like hitting the ground outside, from Frank's room. And feverish fanning noises...

[Pear-Tree Way] The sheath is taken and the knife is somewhat gingerly placed inside. Victoria's pretty sure there's a whole system to carrying a knife sheath on your person, but she has absolutely no idea what that is. So she's just going to sort of awkwardly carry it in her left hand for now. It ...

Karaglen has spent a bit of the intervening time moving through the room and helping her Mom bus some tables, while eating her own breakfast. Though, when Catherine starts to move a little faster again, she quickly slides back into position nearby in as subtle a way as she can. Maybe the girl's so p...

[Over the Mountains...] "Oh no, you're poor ." Ratticus is very clearly distressed by the immediate view of the apartment building. "We definitely have to fix this. How could Granny let her minions live in squalor like this?" He clearly has a higher standard of living expectatio...

[Pear-Tree Way] That is not really an answer, by Victoria's standards. That's just a lure. An interesting lure, sure, but a lure. "How do I do that?" Now she's actually just talking to the knife in her hands. Up until the dense fog of apathy around her thoughts is finally run through with...
