Re: Inside
Cry Havoc Kothar is fine, or at least not visibly significantly injured. He also isn't about to make it easy for Cea to regenerate; he's fought supposedly unkillable regenerating foes before. He thrusts his flaming axe into the goop and twists, attempting to cut strands and force the two halves far...

Re: The Black Dragon's Den
An Upper Room The outburst earns an eyeroll from Circe. She's not impressed by theatrics. "I'm not paying you for a job unfinished," she responds, "Do it, and then I'll give you what you're owed." It's only half the truth, the other half is that she doesn't carry 200 vials with ...

"Think you could get us back there? We kinda wanna see," Mariblex replies.
It beats standing around here for the next few hours until Sekhmet's available again.

Re: The Black Dragon's Den
An Upper Room Circe wasn't expecting that outburst. So this succubus hates Her Majesty? She might be able to use that. But it also might be a liability. Odd that she refers to the queen as "Brignole" though. Circe considers her options. On one hand, the hatred would motivate this one to t...

Re: Plots: Serious, silly, random, oh my!
Aiko's Bad Day Mary shakes her head. "That can't be a healthy way to think. How the Home do you deal with the stress of not being perfect? You need to loosen up, do some things just to do them, have some fun, and not worry about being perfect all the time because that's impossible."

An Upper Room "I don't deal in money for such large purchases," Circe responds, "I'd rather you do a job for me." She meets a lot of bizarre people in her line of work, but this shadow succubus is up there. Definitely not entirely there in the head. Circe suspects she knows why ...

Re: Inside
Cry Havoc Kothar doesn't bother to stop moving long enough for Cea to bite or entangle him. He runs right past her, chopping at her back as he moves. Once he gets out of reach of her tongues again, he whirls around and slides to a stop, ready to protect himself against the next attack. A Local Shri...
