The Nexus

Shattered Isle A shapeshifting being? Nathair shakes his head in wonder. Being trapped in the form of a pair of shoes... what a terrible fate. And people say the phyrexians are bad. Well, they're certainly powerful. Manipulation of time and space seems to be the winning ability here- not that kicki...

Chateau Xilo "No, I was the one who disappeared. I got out first, and didn't look back. Which incidentally, I'm sorry for," she says, glancing at Simon with a melancholy expression, "I meant to come back, it's just... things got in the way." Simon hesitates, then shrugs. "I...

Chateau Interview "It's real enough," says Atya, nodding in understanding, "Believe me, I was skeptical too. Hard to believe that a place like that can exist not too far from a place like Skyside." She smiles, making another mark in her ledger. "Then with me you'll stay. No...

Aiko's Bad Day Bloodplunder Residence Darko has no way of knowing what exactly the magic is learning, and he stands nervously watching at it continues. Meanwhile, he's thinking about Lathalelle said. Three connections? In a way it makes sense- everyone assumed it was three, since that's a number wi...

Outdoor Movie Place Darko is certainly not expecting to be grabbed in this manner, and he freezes like a deer in headlights. No one's ever held him before, much less stroked his hair in such a comforting manner. It certainly does the job of distracting him from what's onscreen. Wow, he should start...

Run Rabbit Run "Hey! She's not nobody, she's my friend," says Harley indignantly. He's happy to endure whatever insults are thrown his way, but Raheeda is another matter entirely. But this volatile spectre doesn't seem like the kind of person that can really be reasoned with. The way she ...

Dorm Darko leisurely finishes walking down the wall, turning around so that by the time he reaches the ground he's facing forward again. He too seems to be in a good mood, although its hard to tell since his expression isn't changing. "You're right, these people are boring. But that doesn't me...

Shattered Isle Not so long ago, a terrible fight rent the sky, the sea, and the rocky island that used to stand in this place. Now, rather than a solid landmass, smaller pieces of stone jut from the water here and there where the shattered remains of that island came crashing down from the sky. Lik...

Chateau Xilo "I mean literally. Half elves don't take too much longer to grow up, they just have long lifespans," says Simon decisively. This is true of the half elves where he's from, at least. "And the year is 1117 AE. Where we came from, of course. I don't actually know how they m...

Chateau Interview Atya smiles warmly as Nasrin accepts the offer. "Excellent! You'll do fine, don't worry. We can always adjust things if it's outside your skillset or if you figure out something you'd rather be doing." She makes a couple notes on the book in front of her. "Would you...

Dorm There's no confirmation or denial on the identity of the speaker, but Darko's mask turns right back into a smile as Asami confirms that he doesn't immediately plan on narcing. "I knew I could count on you. It's always better when people help willingly, ya know?" Seemingly satisfied, ...

Not a Date "Yes, it was an actalact- as much as everything is. You were in real terrible danger!" confirms the Chrysalis cheerfully. Less of an act then, and more of a test. "Ouuuu deeeedgooood. Kaaant hoooort meeee," croons the Burrower, waving its forelegs in what seems to be ...

[To Lore & Game] "Feel free to! They might not be exactly accurate to a physical battle - or a Ka battle - but another selling point of the Duel Disk's is its ability to make duels much more interesting to the outside observer." Micah knows of certain Duelists who take advantage of th...

Chateau Xilo Atya hesitates, seemingly more taken aback by the sympathy than anything else so far. Usually it's the side effects that garner that reaction, not the immortality itself- but Rowan doesn't even know what they are. Weird. "Oh, it's, yeah. It's okay. I mean, I'm only a hundred sixte...

Dorm Darko stares blankly at Asami as he gets a glass of water, seeing but not really seeing him. He tilts his head to the left. "Haven't you heard the phrase, 'what you don't know can't hurt you?' Things are going well, and I've been so nice lately," he says, a little petulance creeping ...

Hunting Nathair's magic draws the discarded sandals inexorably up towards him, reaching out to pluck them from the air. Zooming in with his golden eye, he watches their previous owner run away across the dunes. He could try to take her out from range, but... no. She was an honorable warrior, which ...

[Hunting] The maiden made a ladder from the ghost’s bones, but it only pointed downward. “Why go on?” her shadow asked. “I can’t quit now,” said she. As Nathair approaches, Hiep backs away and is suddenly... further away than she was a moment ago. It's like a glitch in reality occurred, or some uns...

Run Rabbit Run Harley can't help but be intrigued by the seemingly nonsensical words of the... whatever she is. It's a riddle of some kind, it must be. The phrasing is too deliberate to lack any meaning... but what? He can't help but feel like he's missing part of the puzzle. "A... trinity, pl...

A Regenerating Predicament Vyzan has been extremely cooperative the entire journey, whether out of fear or genuine good nature is hard to say. He's spent the trip alternating between long periods of silence and short periods of rapid fire questions about a variety of fairly meaningless topics. Upon...

Chateau Interview Atya waves a hand dismissively at the idea of repayment. "You don't owe me anything. The moment the last slaver is wiped out of Skyside, that'll be payment enough for me." She stares into nothing for a second, her lips curving in a faint smile as she imagines that happy ...

Run Rabbit Run "Uh..." Harley holds up his hands in a reassuring gesture, "I'm not asking for anything. Totally voluntary. You just seem like you could use someone to talk to and stuff, that's all." Despite the fact that holding a conversation with someone who spouts nonsense ha...

Aiko's Bad Day Bloodplunder Residence Darko is happy to provide Koko some emotional support as the spell is cast. He can't help but watch with interest as Lathalelle weaves their magic. It's always fascinating to see how other magicians work, especially the way they do so intentionally. Anytime Dar...

Paternity Problems "Aww, such pretty names!" Atya exclaims. Her face is starting to hurt with all this smiling. "Nice to meet all of you, I'm Atya. We're friends of your mom, yes we are!" She considers sticking to her fake name, but it's not like the kids will remember it either...

Not a Date "Sounds good to me," says Darko blearily, leaning against Bismuth. This shouldn't be very difficult for her, since he's quite a lightweight. In short order, the darkness of the under Theatre is left behind. The stage lights are almost blinding in comparison, and Darko squints a...

Chateau Xilo Simon has no problem with any minion activities, since they're mostly stuff he'd already be doing in a relationship. Boss is a pretty cute pet name after all. Rowan's question earns a sigh from Atya. She's debated explaining this, since it's... a lot, especially when she's only just st...

Outdoor Movie Place "They sure are," agrees Darko, eyes glued to the screen. He doesn't have the same trouble with morality that Koko seems to- being raised by eldritch entities that are beyond or outside of the concepts of good and evil tends to give you a more gray view on that kind of ...

Dorms Darko places the mask on his face, and then stands still for a moment. Then he lets out an uncharacteristic giggle and leans forward, hugging himself for a moment before silently whirling around to face the window and padding over towards it. Before he makes it, he seems to realize that Asami...

Hunting "So you do bleed!" crows Nathair triumphantly upon seeing the wound on Hiep's arm, "I was almost getting worried." He watches, eyes narrowed as Hiep throws the log. The heavy length of wood flies through the air, smashing into the drones one after another. Rather than cr...

Paternity Problems "Well, luckily my bad side likes you just as much. Maybe even more," says Atya with a wink. Of course, she's quite convinced that if either of them gets tired of the other, it'll be Reinholdt and not her. But there's no need to worry about that today. Not when there are...

For Whom the Bell Gnolls Octavia swings her spear in a wide arc to keep the gnolls at bay, deflecting a couple bone javelins as she does so. However, one of them gets through, bouncing off her leg and leaving a gash behind. Her body is going to need some serious repairs when this is through. But it...
