The Nexus

[Fond Farewell] Khannie looks thoughtful at the suggestion. "I guess we could try again? I'm still not super great at charms and getting to sorta watch while you cast some helped a lot. You get practice and I get practice, so everyone wins, right?" It sure sounds like everyone wins to Kha...

The pint of frothy wheat bear is shortly forthcoming! It's even in one of those fancy old-timey steins, ceramic with a pewter top and colorfully decorated. Trog's doesn't skimp on the classics when it comes to the non-fancy drinks, that's for sure. "There you go, enjoy!" Zee beams back. &q...

[Shady Hollow] Ah HAH! So he's a LAW BREAKER, then! Violations of the first law of thermodynamics can't be tolerated. He'll probably be getting a ticket from the reality police pretty soon. Those fines can really add up. *ahem* Anyway. Mysterious floating, glowing orbs. Changer grabs the thing and,...

Oh hey new people at the bar. Both the gal the pair of robots (one hovering and the other not) get a friendly wave from the tavern's resident totally normal human female bartender you suspect nothing. It isn't immediately clear how she manages to wave to all three of them at the same time but hey sh...

[The Dog Days of Summer] Khannie had no intentions of emotionally abusing Sirius, so he's probably safe on that front. She's imagining it must work like the pokemon who evolve differently based on the sorts of emotions they feel toward their trainer. Which... is kind of a weird thing to think of wh...

[A Fond Farewell] "I'll still come back and visit when I can, okay? And I can still help you practice possession if you want," Khannie promises as she offers one last hug. "Just no getting in too much trouble without me, okay?" Keiko getting into trouble? Pah. Such things would ...

[The Dog Days of Summer] Not being totally sure is a common symptom of life. "Not everyone creates stuff," Khannie points out. "I mean, I guess MOST things don't. Unless you count creating babies. Everything alive does that." Do digimon make babies? Those eggs have to come from ...

[Fond Farewell] "I was reading a book where the protagonist was a villain and one of her minions was able to steal all sorts of stuff. Like a fleet of ships. And the sun," Khannie recounts thoughtfully. "I'm pretty sure Amaterasu would be made if the sun got stolen." She's been ...

[Fond Farewell] "Maybe if you found a way to steal it from people you prank," Khannie suggests, only half joking. Would that be something Keiko can even do? She's got no idea, but she wouldn't put it past her. She's heard tell that foxes are pretty great at swiping things. Clues. Maps. Ch...

[Fond Farewell] "I've been growing up the whole time. I just made it to critical grownup mass," Khannie confides in the definitely responsible fox. It's like a pokemon evolution. You're just cruising along collecting experience until you hit the right milestone and BOOM! You get twice as ...

[Fireworks!] Sniffing at a possibly magical staff sure is a thing to do. That action gets an arched eyebrow out of Khannie. "Can you smell spells or something?" the girl asks. Which seems like a pretty reasonable question to her. Thanks to Khannie's enchantment experience she has a bit of...

[The Dog Days of Summer] Okay so Sirius is dramatically cutting water balls. But is he striking heroic poses after cutting them? The sort where his cape is flapping behind him and- Oh wait, no, he left that at home didn't he? Very sad. Khannie considers Sirius' question. It seems like a pretty seri...

[Fond Farewell] Keiko manages to catch Khannie right as she's finishing saying farewell to her history teacher. She doesn't look very surprised when Keiko suddenly manifests, but maybe that janitor was. Or maybe not? One would think the people around the temple complex would have gotten use to Keik...

[The Dog Days of Summer] What? As if Khannie would jump into a regular pool style fountain with or without her clothes on! ...granted she DID splash a bit in the last one they checked out, which was a huge ostentatious marble fountain complete with nude statues and leaping dolphins and things. Dolp...

[The Dog Days of Summer] The warmest time of summer is quickly approaching its end. Soon the days will begin to cool. Soon thoughts will turn toward the new year of school. Soon the star Sirius will begin its decent, for which the dog days are named. But for now? For now the time of fun and adventu...

[Fond Farewells] The time draws near. What time? Time to move on. Khannie has been coming to school here at Inari's ever since she was brought home by her dad. Every week day. Including summer classes! It's been a part of her life for years. Making friends, leaning cool stuff, improving her skills,...

[The Seven Hundred Steps] And so our heroes begin their descent down the Seven Hundred Steps. "When I'm like this it's because I don't want people to see me, I want them to see VIGIL," Lapis replies matter of factly. Which is... Maybe a little deep, coming from her? Would the kids even re...

Grasp the silver key. Tread beyond the threshold of sleep. Descend the seven hundred steps of deep slumber. Set foot within the Dreamlands and behold a place of wonders and terrors. The Enchanted Forest stretches wide, an endless tangled realm of hedges and oaks, of mist and cornfields, of quiverin...

[The Ossuary] Dena has learned an important lesson today. Assume your team mates have no idea what's going on and bring all the supplies yourself. So! What are our definitely not heroes going to do? The safest route into the ziggurat, without question, would be the entrance at the peak. If they hea...

Okay. This place is seriously spooky. Nestled between two desolate, jagged mountain ranges, squatting atop a salt flat like a vulture over a corpse, stands the Ossuary. A sprawling necropolis of crypts bleached white in the sun. Obelisks and tombs and monuments as far as the eye can see with a massi...

Well! Isn't this kind of novel. Nothing changes, of course. Nothing obvious. Nothing immediately apparent . The patrons sure don't notice, if that's what you're wondering about. They still have their conversations, their games, their drinks, their laughter and stories and mirth. Talk of adventures, ...

The title is a misnomer, of course. No doubt the moniker of this place was settled on after a brief conversation that started with, 'Wouldn't it be funny if...?'. But now the name has stuck. But what is this place, you ask? Inside is everything within the City Walls. As opposed to Outside, which is ...

https://drive.google.com/uc?id=0B5bKlQSiirV-QWtUWXV0UVlIcUE Upon entering the tavern you find it to be rustic, dim, cramped, and smelling of spilled beer. Moving through the crowd you spot a fireplace with a banjowood carving on the mantle and bubbler-style juke-box playing some old-time tunes. You...
