The Nexus

"And it just kept on going for you like that? Are you sure that doesn't make you the god of 'whatever the herd thinks you are'?" Mei shakes her. "In short, no, that doesn't make sense. Where, or to when, did the theme of getting someone killed go? Some of that sounds similar to how p...

Just like those! And really, it's the short-necked cats that are the weird ones, some might say. Anyway, the cat runs off to pet the Thanksmas wolves for a bit. So fluffy! If Khannie would like to open the box, she'll find it to contain a less than thoughtful gift, of a set of pokeballs, one holding...

Wait her dad met him already? When? Why didn't Khannie hear about this? The teen does a pretty good job of pretending that she isn't surprised and OH LOOK A GIANT CAT RUNNING AROUND WITH SOME KIDS RIDING ON IT BEING CHASED BY A RABBIT LADY! Yeah that's definitely whey she looked shocked for a momen...

"Oh, not at all. This is the Nexus, after all. Any number of gods of the same thing can get along."

"Care to elaborate on 'changed it a little'? You haven't had the portfolio for very long, have you?"
Mei smiles to feel the breeze reacting so to someone else. Mist gets it!

[Temple of Lolth] "Our networks are larger, and we have expanded to fill the space we were allotted. We need more room, basically." The priestess says. At the next question, she gives the drider an odd look. "Why would the Spider Queen want to worshipped by anyone but Drow?" Ah,...

[And Fusago!] Fusago understands now. They shall talk to the other yu-seeds and they shall communicate together until a decision has been made regarding the offer. A image is shown of the general, or rather the entity which they are connected to, standing before what must be the yu-seeds. Speaking ...

That gets a laugh from Honeysuckle.

"Oh. Weirdly specific. Do you know why he spelled it that way?"

"And totally a cool way of speaking. Distinctive. Should keep it for yourself." she recommends.
As long as it doesn't get you confused with a death of fox-people...

Fenric looks thoughtful Uhm... You would like a bit of trivia about the Nexus? Hm... The Temple of Inari is the oldest still-running temple in the Nexus, but it wasn't the first! Any guesses as to who was venerated at the first temple established in town? Oh, that's a tricky one. It must have been ...

[Westside Sunrise] There probably aren't a lot of kumiho named Anastasia Bellamy in this city, if someone went looking. But it's never too late to be cautious! "As you wish. I recommend giving Siana time to adjust to what has happened. Do not make her worry about you further." But she's n...

[Westside Sunrise] Ah, waking up with the sun, under the trees, surrounded by the impressions of nature, with- Not her tree. Not her sun even. Still wearing her uniform. What happened? Ana yelling and panicking brings it all back as Skye gets to her feet, looking around to assess the park for dange...

[And Fusago!] No, they're not too unique to function together. That can be fixed, even while they're still in their own bodies. It just rarely happens. Rarely necessary nor desired. Once again, they try to show Fusago that the General isn't talking to him. See a web of lines flowing downward, like ...

[Temple of Lolth] The priestess smirks. "Ah it would take a lot of planning, but we have already spread to the other city, Riverside, there are tunnels there which we use for farming. Many of our number take residence outside the enclave's walls, as well. There are drow in the police and milit...

Or both, if he chose his destiny. "Well, it just fell into my hands, kind of complicated and multifaceted. But later, when my business took off, I was able to pass on the parts that didn't suit me, and only keep the ones that did." Wind dances around Mei suddenly. "We kind of overlap ...

"Not a satisfying answer, that first one." "Pretty sagelike though." Honeysuckle then stops being a fox, and starts being a human with a fox's ears and tails, so as to place some gold coins on the bartop and ask for another round of drinks. She is, as always, wearing a visor tha...

Look at all this! Anchor Danir Sex: Female Race: Fey, Human form Age: Anchor appears to be 20 years old, though there's a lot of time magic and complexity involved. Alignment: Red / Chaotic Goodish Class: Wizard Physical Description: She's a human woman with olive skin, further darkened by the sun....

[Knight Takes Queen] On the one hand, it begins to make sense. Siana killed Ilpholin to protect Anastasia. Meaning the Anas must be a demon, or working with one, which was uncovered while Skye was away from the others... The King in Rags is asking the questions about the rest of it, and Skye is wil...

[Introductory Collisons] "Well. I. Was. Ha-ving. Da-nge-rous. Ad-ven-tures. Back. Then." "Pro-ba-bly. Nor-mal. At. This. School. Right. ?." That's how one gets to be a protagonist, is by carrying on in your adventures even when they're extremely dangerous, right? "May-be. I...

[Outside DFI] "A shadowy conspiracy inciting the conflict eases the culpability of those who dealt the killing blow. Perhaps that is the purpose." Askeladd considers for a moment. It's not a question he's asked often. "I prefer the version where the Bull-King is dreading the imprison...

[Intercession with Ilpholin] This doesn't make sense. This is Ilpholin ! And she just died without fighting back? Let somebody else kill her? Somebody who wasn't them at all? Outrageous. Nearly unbelievable. People are saying a lot of nonsense. They're not acting right. Not like they planned this. ...

[Intercession with Ilpholin] Skye approaches the dueling room in no particular hurry. Nye has been annoyingly slow in getting things started so far, so surely, whatever bizarre after-dinner event she has planned, it won't start until everyone is here and an elaborate introduction has been made. A s...

[Introductory Collisions] Tail-hiding is also a useful function of Khannie's human disguise. She's ALSO not super-fond of her tail(s). And unlike Vix' tail they aren't really useful. At least not useful for anything Khannie has discovered thus far. Mostly there are just a bunch of the dumb poofy th...

"I am happy with the work." Mei agrees breezily. "Well, the short story is that is I was given the position by my parent." "They couldn't keep it due to a problem with their original avatar, here in the Nexus. It- oh, wait, I'm telling this all backwards." "In my ...

[Into the Looking Glass] The answer to this is likewise simple, if subtle enough that it takes a few tries to express, showing subtle changes in a mass of depicted spirits. Do they have a voice? Fairness is of little consequence. Are mortals and fey not different? Are not individuals different from...

[Introductory Collisions] Oh hey she's got a tail. How did Khannie miss that? Probably got distracted by the mysterious cloak. Those are both mysterious and attention grabbing. Regardless, Khannie starts walking again since she's got her next class to get to and she can't dawdle TOO long. "Oh ...

[Outside DFI]

"It sounds as if the sages were put into the story to hide something else." It all depends on the context.

"Which is your favorite version of the tale?" Which is basically unrelated to the original, truest version.

Leaving the [Train] With Eidolon focused on Jason, Kiun jumps up and flaps her wings to take to the air. Hmm, this could be a perfect time to get away. But they still didn't prove how Eidolon is catching up to them. If the train had worked, that would be one thing, but...it didn't, so they know just...

"Lots of things don't have a purpose, Mist."
"Of course I like my work, and other people want ti done, but that's not really the same thing."
It kind of stands on its own.

[Into the Looking Glass] Fusago reacts with curiosity at this. Was it an offer? The image of mortals kneeling offering ritual items to the volcano illustrates this question. Or a question? More images of mortals but this time seemingly trying to speak directly to the volcano, asking of knowledge on...

[Outside DFI] "Among my mother's people, there are many stories where a man foresees doom, and, in trying to avoid it, only serves to bring it about." Is that where this story is going? "What does become of these sages?" "And how did the bull-king become so blind to his own...

[Into the Looking Glass] The General's heart leaps to see others paddling away from the island. In a sense their faith failed them, yes, and they were ever separated from the others and from their mountain god. But they got to be themselves, maybe even make it away somewhere else. The pain - it is ...
