The Nexus

[The Mound] "He was gunna kill a buncha people if he got away with it but we stopped him. I probably coulda bound him or something but..." But that didn't happen. Since he got shot. "I guess maybe we should tell someone at Skullfort what happened?" the unicorn suggests. If someon...

[NomeCo] Oh heck this is gunna be a giant mess, isn't it? Khannie had decided to go into the mess in zoroark mode if only to stick with the theming. But it turns out everyone ELSE is diving in, too. Like, that's Asami over there, right? And she's pretty sure that's... uh... the chonkosaurus from the...

[Not a Date] Oh yeah! They're making progress! At this rate they'll be back out of the basement before the spooky worm baby gets free from Bismuth's glowfrost! BUT THEN OH NO! More dummies! They're just having a terrible time with dummies today, aren't they? But. BUT! That's okay! Darko has a plan! ...

[NomeCo] Well at least they aren't being menaced with a cheese peeler. That would be right out. It is, perhaps, lightly more menacing when one of their vans gets picked up and casually tossed into nearby parking spot. There's some surprised shouting from inside mostly along the lines of, "WOAH...

[Not a Date] Theaters DO change their costume though, don't they? That's what the props and sets are for. So maybe the theater just swapped out props and sets while our heroes were busy wrangling shadow wolves? They may never know, however. Mostly because they're being beset upon by a giant horribl...

[Oh Deer] Khannie frowns as the story is recounted. A frowning unicorn sure is a sight. Yeah, obviously they've been through a fight. It sounds like the robot guy is a real scrapper but the deer lady sure isn't. If she's getting chased by a buncha goons does that mean she would put Glog at risk? Eh...

[NomeCo] The woman with the walkman starts slightly when she's tapped (since she was wearing headphones and didn't hear Eddy approach), whirling toward him with her finger on the Play button. But when she sees that this is just some random kid she relaxes. Because obvious a gang of themed goons don...

[NomeCo] Something is going dreadfully wrong at the NomeCo office building. Aside from the fact that it's a giant corporation that engages in questionable activities. That part doesn't matter right now. What DOES matter is that several guards outside the building appear to have been subdued by NEFA...

[The Mound] Nothing like a sword filled to the brim with the banishing power of a psychopomp to get rid of an evil spirit. With a howl that gradually recedes like a dying breath of wind the phantom disperses, fading from the world of the living and passing on to... Well. The Nexus has like zillions...

[Not a Date] "Yeah! Just fine! Nothing bad will happen at all," Bismuth says as she half-prances down the hallway, following her own scent trail much as Darko is following his ball of yarn. And in speaking such a thing aloud she's also taking stock of the various potions she has on her pe...

[Oh Deer] The pudu isn't the only one who jumps when a robot suddenly come crashing down the hillside and into the valley. Though jumping isn't the only thing the unicorn does. Her horn is wreathed in a crown of shimmery midnight blue magic as her shadow's contrast deepens. Though her snap response...

[Richard's Residence] "Well, in that case I believe the most reasonable course of action will be to begin dinner and to move on to the designated movie for the evening," Geneva says as she moves towards the dining room. Thankfully the unicorns can in fact eat physical food. Generally. Khan...

[A Bridge Too Far] Depending on how cognoscente the creatures on the other side are, they may notice several small quad-copters zipping out of the rift and beaming back the scene. The machines are pretty simple, only meant to provide video and audio while ensuring the other side of the rift has nee...

[For Whom the Bell Gnolls] Destruction rains down from on high atop the fort and soon it reacts like a kicked ant-hill. The front gates open up and no fewer than three dozen gnolls come pouring out. It isn't the most daunting brand of raiders ever seen. Chances are most of them are off raiding the ...

[Tree Problems] And thus our heroes set off! Given how twisty the hedge maze is it probably won't be very long before the sisters get fed up with the dead ends and hop over a wall of marble and ivy to simply bypass the the maze. When they get to the other side they're going to find something a bit o...

[Oh Deer] This place definitely doesn't LOOK well defended, but there's an almost palpable sense of peace that hangs over the valley like a soothing aroma. It presses down with the comfort of a warm blanket and the serenity of a quiet moment at the end of a chaotic day. Almost as if it would be a te...

[The Mound] While Iknika and Jig are restraining the lich Khannie manages to gather enough of her wits to lob a shadow blot skyward. The projectile bursts in a wave of soothing shadows that will feel pleasant enough to the goblin knight but to the corrupt spirit? It seems to stun the apparition long...

[Not a Date] That's one of the things that often happens when someone is beholden to eldritch entities. They end up getting sent on lots of errands that really don't make any sense in isolation. Who knows what ineffable purposes could be behind such things? And as far as weird missions go setting o...

[Tree Problems] "I mean, normally I would say no? Like, what are the chances that what you need just happens to be up here where the other end of the ivy tower just happened to be? " Bella says. "But since this is Mount Improbable then maybe?" Nexus Serendipity is definitely a th...

[Richard's Residence] "Oh! Well, that's fascinating," Geneva says, perking up a bit and immediately displaying curiosity. "I wonder what aspect of that endeavor he's attuned to. If my understanding is correct, you're aligned with certitude. Is that right, Jace? And Khannie is aligned...

[Tree Problems] It IS really nice. Given the time of year it probably shouldn't be, but it is. The warmth of the sun is such that you can really feel it in your bones. Only Mariblex doesn't have any bones at the moment. She's got a cytoskeleton but that probably doesn't count. "I dunno. Some ga...

[Richard's Residence] Khannie looks suitably flustered at Zebes' teasing. A flustered unicorn is a really funny thing to observe. "Well, yes, but does this mean we'll need to ensure that there's natural sunlight in the dining room? These are important logistical considerations," Geneva po...

[A Bridge Too Far] The process here takes a few minutes. Which, frankly, is pretty amazing that the Bifrost Chamber is able to even do such a thing. Geneva zeroes the machine in on the given coordinates and cycles up the chamber. A loud hum begins to fill the room as the machine's exotic mass core ...

[The Widening Gyre] The breach here is clearly different from the anomaly that had formed above the VIGIL base. It's smaller, for sure. More irregular, as if it could destabilized at any moment. It (thankfully) lacks the great anchor device that had harpooned the island and the streets of Inside an...

[Not a Date] "Maybe! My parents were concerned with duty. The things they had to do for the Faceless God," Bismuth says as they begin following the string and immediately encounter a problem! A problem with a whole bunch of creepy looking manikins. Hmm. Well! This looks like a good job fo...

[The Mound] The green fire bolts seem to be doing something? It's hard to tell when you're blasting a vile spectre whether you're doing any damage or not. But then! A great act of heroism! Riding her spirit beetle with clarity of purpose and righteous indignation Iknika rides down the foul spirit an...

[For Whom The Bell Gnolls] The arsenal of heaven has always got the coolest weapons, hasn't it? Khannie seems to pick up on the gnoll's discomfort, one of her ears swiveling in a Gingerly direction. "Shadows, not darkness," Khannie says. "Shadows are good. Like the shade of a nice bi...

[Not a Date] "My parents were really religious. I think that's how most people make sense of things. Maybe not by worshipping a slime god but by worshipping something!" Bismuth says as she stows the heart and pulls out her chemlit again, giving it a nice shake to get it glowing more bright...

[Richard's Residence] "No fair," Gilda pouts, extricating herself from a tangle of beanbag chair she had crashed into. When your house is full of quadrupeds you can never have enough cushions and couches. Khannie, shaking off her shock, hops to her hooves and trots over to her little brot...

[A Bridge Too Far] Khannie, for her part, is looking at some weird alien plant samples in jars that were collected by the trundling probe. They definitely look weird. "Hmm, I see," Geneva replies to Ardi, still examining her tablet. Then a moment later she goes, "What?" It seems...
