The Nexus

[For Whom the Bell Gnolls] Khannie once again dismisses her illusion since she was just using that for the purpose of showing off Blank's cool trick. "You've just gotta spend some time practicing. I don't mind teaching you how to use my magic," Khannie says to blank, nodding to Octavia wh...

[Not a Date] There are definitely no werewolves OR big black dogs in Darko's life, that's for sure. "What if she was studying herself?" Bismuth muses as she eases the globe shut and gives it a twirl. You can't just be standing next to a globe without spinning it. "Would that be stran...

[Richards' Residence] Do unicorns have shotgun weddings? You know, what with them being symbols of purity and everything? Regardless, Geneva definitely seems interested in wedding details. "And when are you expecting Kit?" she asks. Gilda, meanwhile, is busy peeking over the edge of the c...

[Slime Problems] Bella doesn't seem convinced that the activity will be fun but she's definitely going to give it a try. Either way, she takes the mantle and throws it over her shoulders. After a bit of fiddling she's got it magically primed and ready to go! She just has to speak the command word! &...

[The Mound] The unicorn is about to object some more but all of a sudden it feels like someone just slapped her horn with an oily rag. That jerks her attention toward the floating corpse? and the corrupt magic coursing through the body like blood. "No he's dead I think he's gunna-" There'...

[Crash Site] That sounds like... Definitely some words. Symbolism stuff? Olympia has studied plenty about mythology, so she knows a thing or two about symbolism. And the sortsa symbols this guy is talking about definitely don't sound like great ones. Something unraveling into a mouth? Yeah that sou...

[Not a Date] Is anyone really a fan of blood? Aside from leeches and ticks and things. But nobody likes those because they like their blood to stay in their body. "It's what the book looks like it's a picture of, right?" Bismuth asks, since while she CAN see fine details are hard for her ...

[The Mound] "There's a buncha ways to stop a spell from being cast without shooting someone in the face!" Khannie objects. "Heroes shouldn't be killing people. Not even BAD people!" Ah, see. There's the difference. Heroics are a very important thing to Khannie. While the guy Kos...

[A New Student Approaches] "Uuhh..." is Khannie's reaction to being beset by a wheel tangle and a hero of legend all at once. So this kid just landed here and also Octavia's body is paralyzed. Khannie isn't sure she can really help with either of those things. She got no idea how Octavia'...

[Slime Problems] "Yeah, I guess," Bella replies, though she doesn't sound terribly convincing. She sets the circlet aside and picks up the coat. This one only takes a few tries to figure out. "Oh! This one's easy. It just keeps the wearer warm and dry and clean. Like... you could chuc...

[The Mound] Hey, the battle cry of a goblin coming for your knees with a hammer is a credible threat. Khannie, for her part, flares her horn in a mostly undirected pulse of magic aiming to foul whatever spell the necromancer is weaving. It isn't the most precise sort of counter spell but sometimes ...

[For Whom The Bell Gnolls] With the abyssal gnoll threat quelled for the time being, our heroes can finally get the very important round of introductions out of the way. Khannie for her part is giving the damage to Octavia a concerned look. She knows that the angel's 'actual' self is the halo and t...

[A New Student Approaches!] As it turns out finding Khannie won't be that hard. She just got out of her Introduction to Petty Godhood class and she's trotting toward the arcanium while having a chat with another student who appears to be the descendant of some agricultural deity. "-that bad, is...

[Not a Date] Hopefully they don't get mad and rip up people's scooters like elephants do sometimes. "Oh! So the path you take stays, but all the paths that you didn't might change?" Bismuth guesses. "I think I smelled the creepy blood room earlier when we first came down here. But I ...

[The Mound] Necromancy, like most of the more applied forms of wizardry, is all about preparation. This necromancer was prepared for doing dastardly deeds, not throwing down with a trio of adventurers. That doesn't mean he's totally helpless, though. "Lady Message murdered my order and I will ...

[For Whom The Bell Gnolls] Poor Blank is really too hard on himself. He already did one of the most important things in this skirmish; getting the helpless person to safety. Khannie, meanwhile, turns her attention back to the fight. The paladin and the angel are finishing off the last of the gnolls...

[Slime Problems] "I mean, I guess mine wasn't terrible," Bella admits as she picks up the circlet and begins eyeing it. "I still learned a lesson, right? That I didn't need to be a 'real' human to be happy. That's gotta count for something. And if I really feel like it I can basicall...

[Fleeing Chaos] The trail Sineran takes carries her ever deeper into the forest, the undergrowth waxing thick and wild with every passing step. Far from hindering her, the plants seem to bow aside, giving plenty of space for the little pudu before weaving shut behind her. Given the overwhelming thi...

[Not a Date] It has been said that if you build it they will come. How would Darko feel about a bunch of ghosts that just want to play baseball. That would be kind of strange, right? "Kind of like how Juiblex and Abhoth are the same god but also kind of different?" Bismuth surmises. "...

[Slime Problems] "And maybe the ones that are people?" Bella retorts. Then laughs. "You really didn't get to meet me before I made my Wish so I guess it makes sense that you wouldn't know what it was like as much. Being a kangaskhan was just SO lame. Or I guess that's sorta how I fel...

[Slime Problems] Bella watches with interest as the various items come out of the bag. "Oh heck they're all really pretty! The feather thingy kinda reminds me of the cloak of flying my dad made for me," Bella says as she eyes the objects. Then? She begins focusing her magic. Not to create...

[Aiko's Bad Day] Juibi, being an immensely mature and well adjusted slime dragon, sticks her tongue out at Aiko when she's forbidden to do anything about the succubus drug dealer. "We cooooould just mind our own business and let Mary and Aiko chat with Sekhmet," Juibi suggests, sounding W...

[For Whom the Bell Gnolls] For what it's worth these gnolls definitely seem more like demons than mortals. They're nothing but a ball of want and hate, without any real dreams or desires of their own. They devour and they ruin and they seem interested in little else. They're a manifestation of self...

[Not a Date] Bismuth definitely isn't use to the Theater's quirks, but she's been on quite a few delves and oddities are more or less normal in there. There are always puzzles and traps and peculiar machines. Sometimes you find something mysterious that you won't discover the use for until later! T...

[Slime Problems] Okay magical clothes sounds cool. "Have you got em with you? I bet I could identify them," Bella replies. Oh! That's right. Her dad makes magical items for a living, doesn't he? "That sounds way weirder than the you counsel. Or what it's like when me and the fox and ...

[Slime Problems] Bella watches Sekhmet leave before turning her attention back to her sister. Holy heck why can't she go, like, a couple days at least without something weird happening to her? At the very least Bella's got the fox to gobble up any new weird someone tries dumping on HER. "Okay ...

[Not a Date] Bismuth, likewise, nods. She doesn't really have hands as such. She has the manipulators on the ends of her tentacles which are SORT OF like hands. They splay open in a starfish sort of shape! They're still good for picking things up, though, and that's what really matters. "I can...

[The Mound] With Khannie weakening the corrupt binding Koshal's magic causes color to begin returning to the souls, from a sickly pale green to something that looks more... alive. A good sign, right? Then Iknika smashes the glass with her hammer. Our heroes will feel a powerful gust wind rolling ove...

[The Mound] "I can't really 'eat' souls but I think I can mess with the corruption that keeping 'em stuck," Khannie says, pacing around the machine. "So I'm thinking I kill the corruption, Koshal fills the ground with his lifey nature magic, and then Iknika smashes the glass with her ...

[Not a Date] Bismuth's only regret is that she doesn't have any shades to go with the pun. Not that she really needs shades for anything, but style points are important! She does grown at the continued ice puns, though. That one was REALLY bad. "That's why a ten foot pole is always standard ge...
