The Nexus

Grand Tour "Well, I think it's mostly a combat sim. And I don't really have any combat experience so it would be tiny baby mode for you if I set it to something I could handle." He looks back down at his silk suit. "Um. Maybe not in my fancy outfit." He grins a shy, toothy smile...

Grand Tour "Well, I was told it was about as close to the Real Thing as was physically possible so....I dunno, it just sounded heavier-duty than I'm generally built for." Especially after that one time pain and adrenaline made his powers go haywire and he absolutely hulked out. "But ...

Grand Tour ”Well. I can show you the simulator room. I’ve…never actually used it. It looks really sciencey and stuff so I was always afraid I was going to turn it on and accidentally simulate a giant dragon and get blown up or something.” Is that how that works? He doesn’t know how that works. ”I’d...

Grand Tour ”Well, it sounds like it’s none of my business.” Henry replies with a shrug. Then he just moves on. ”And! Down the hall is the lab, as you can see from the sign. I can’t let you in there, though. I don’t think Miss Dorota’s work is classified or anything but it’s probably not safe to jus...

Grand Tour ”A bomb?! Who knows why that would have been there. It sounds like it was way before my time. But I’ll tell them I guess.” It occurs to him that he never asked Rein about an armory. He should have probably asked if they have ghost-blasters. ”I um. Hope you used it uh. Well.” Naku seems l...

Entrance Hall/Grand Tour ”No no, it’s fine. Really. It’s not like this is a formal thing anyway.” Henry nods and sets off at a brisk pace. He hasn’t quite gotten out of the habit of walking fast since he used to have to keep up with people much taller than him. ”We have all of the training rooms an...

Entrance Hall "Uh. Pretty deep? I'm not really a numbers guy. Unless it's code." Henry used to work IT, after all. And the register. At the same time. Henry scratches his chin idly. "Properly speaking I can use my ghostly nature to be all immaterial which would theoretically make me ...

Omigosh it's a cafe! Jess's eyes widen slightly at Sally's sway. It's hard not to stare a lil' bit when there's that much motion going on. When the tray is set down, Jess tilts her head and stares at the money on the tray with a confused "Arf?" Before hesitantly taking the other bits off ...

Farm Gala seems to consider the question. "Well, I don't know. It just seems like a lot, you know?" And then she is pat on the head! Careful to avoid her horns! Gala might not even be aware she has them. "Oh. Um. I guess I made it then? I guess ice cream magic just...put milk in near...

Entrance Hall "Okay! Well, like I said, these are the private quarters. If we go down the hall here..." Henry leads her back in the direction he came from, towards the pool. "This is the pool. It's pretty big, as you can see. And I think it's filtered with magic because if it was chl...

Entrance Hall "Ch-champion? Oh okay. Um. Well if you come over here we have everyone's rooms. I'm not allowed to live here due to family curse but I can keep extra clothes for when I need them. Um. Just one moment." Henry shows Naku down the hall to where the private quarters are. Which i...

Entrance Hall "Oh! Well, you're in the sea base for HALO, premier research organization in the Nexus. I'm Henry Vadnova, Halo's first and only paranormal investigator. Would you like me to give you a tour?" He looks down at himself. "Um. I can go get changed if you'd rather I did? I ...

Entrance Hall The temperature of the hall drops a few degrees as someone comes 'round the corner. He's a large, fishy sort of fellow with spooky blue lights for eyes. As always, he's dressed in his swim trunks and carrying a towel as he makes his way back from the HALO pool. One might wonder how He...

[Shuttle -> Entrance Hall] A purple haired vampire sat alone in a shuttle, steadily descending down deeper, deeper into the water. She tapped her foot quietly against the metal floor, anxious but not strictly nervous. She was here on a job. She has a mission. And she was curious how long it would b...

[Uncia's House] When it becomes apparent that Wenomir isn't going to instantly leap to her defense or let her have his tea or even express a flustered reaction, Uncia sighs in disappointment and slips off his lap to stand with her hands on her hips. "Nyot a catperson person, huh. You won't eve...

[Uncia's House] Wenomir must hold his students to very high standards if he thinks they can outwit the brilliant Uncia. The same Uncia who waits for him to look back at Naku and then shifts from snow leopard to catgirl in only a couple of seconds. Now there's a young woman sitting on his armrest, l...

[Uncia's House] Wenomir was observing Uncia's departure. He's mostly used to Cassandra's cat, who is far smaller and less aloof. Also- Wait. The normally alert warrior does a comical double take when Uncia somehow appears next to him and sniffs at his tea. "I can see what. How did they get her...

[A Hungover Sidereal] Hiep has never tasted ambrosia, as it happens. It's technically edible, but no one would use it for this purpose on its own - and only gods can do it anyway. It's also either fortunate or unfortunate that she's virtually immune to being embarrassed. She blinks as the invisible...

[Uncia's House] Wenomir doesn't really visit other people's houses often and he's never quite sure what to do with himself there. His own house is pretty bare for how long he's been living there - he's not good at filling up space. Still, he's glad to be here. He blinks when Uncia appears. It's not...

Farm Gala can't help but feel like maybe she's being treated as younger than she is but she can't really say it isn't kind of nice. And well, being immortal might mean her age doesn't really matter anyway? "Well um. Okay yeah, sure." Gala stops to consider the lady before she works up her...

[A Hungover Sidereal] "That sure isn't something I expected to be doing when I woke up this morning," Hiep admits. "Though to be honest, when I woke up the only thing I did expect was my head splitting open. Either way, sure, I'll try it." [A Hungover Sidereal] Ber'ri's blushes,...

[Double Dragons] Such a fierce and powerful dragon! Another soft trace along between those horns and down her spine as those soda-bottle gummies were shown what for! But Alva would regrettably have to stop showering affection there as they were still working and break time wasn't until later. ...As...

[A Hungover Sidereal] "Eh, don't worry about it. This isn't the weirdest thing I've heard about recently." Hiep shrugs. "Wait... is that what you meant by 'my'? It wasn't some weird fruit I've never heard of?" [A Hungover Sidereal] Ber'ri nod-nods, blushing again. "Y-yeah. ...

[Uncia's House] Iknika does get a bit winded, but she's very stubbornly refusing to show it. She's not going to be defeated by water . "Everything went fine. I got the vegetables and the water." She takes a few quick breaths. "Uncia was very helpful." [Uncia's House] "Excel...

[Double Dragons] Ambrosia had some experience with silver dragons, though not with the younger ones. Since it turned out that most dragons were not keen on letting anyone, scholar or otherwise, close to their children. She did make note of what seemed to be ice breath however. While Sally scales ha...

[A Hungover Sidereal] There's a long pause as Hiep tries to work out if she did actually hear what she thinks she did. But she's hungover, not drunk, so she must have. "You... make ambrosia? How do you make it, exactly? It's supposed to come from prayer." [A Hungover Sidereal] Ber'ri nod ...

[A Hungover Sidereal] Hiep's eyes follow the movement of Ber'ri's tail for a moment. It's kind of adorable. But then she focuses on the question... or as much as she can focus in her current state. "Not really? If it happened to your friend it's probably not our ambrosia. And even if it was, I...

[Uncia's House] Iknika deliberates on this question for a long while. How strictly should she follow Naku's instructions? They could be trick instructions meant to teach her to think independently. Should she not bring more water if she can? But water is heavy; if she takes too much it'll weigh her...

[Double Dragons] With that smile, Ambrosia didn't doubt that Sally had exactly that sort of effect on people. It even made her wonder if she exuded some sort of aura of happiness and helpfulness which- well, made her possibly the most wholesome dragon she had ever talked to. Since she couldn't even...

[Double Dragons] "Oh." Ambrosia clears her voice politely. Sally's reaction, much more so than her words, was all the answer she needed. "Well, that's nothing to be ashamed of, Sally." She continues after a few moments, trying to give the pink dragon time to recover but not let ...
