The Nexus

[ Hotel ] On the plus side, 'short conversation' lets Zophiel know it's a low priority. If something else comes up, he won't have to prioritize returning to find out things. 'being with DAMN' and the stated outfit probably are the key takeaways, with a few other potentially-but-possibly-not importan...

Maids on a Train "It does matter! The mechanisms are the same, but projectors need to be recalibrated to account for the different speed of light through water." Jade is pleased that the mermaid asked such a clever question that's related to her expertise. This is a much better topic than...

[ Courtyard D&D ] On one hand, Awen feels awkward for approaching people but having nothing to say. On another hand, Awen feels relief because at least this time she has an excuse for not saying anything: she actually doesn't know the topic that well. Well, she feels just a little bit of sisters...

[Library] Reinholdt didn't have any trouble staring at Seraphina. Maybe Maria has a type. Or she just finds people awkward to begin with. "Oh?" Maria wasn't aware this wasn't a library visit. She looks up again and... Seraphina's right! Reinholdt is here. She completely missed that. For a...

Maids on a Train "If you want electronics to work underwater, usually people just coat the wires in rubber or plastic." That's a much more straightforward solution, "But I don't see why using a conductive fluid wouldn't work." She's asked what exactly she does. "Mostly I wo...

Cult Clash "My armor was made by the temple armorer, actually. I'm sure he would have mentioned it if he knew how to do something that convenient. It's alright, though. I have plenty of time to fix the problem unless someone succeeds at stabbing me. Dragons live a long time." G'nichi is o...

Maids on a Train That doesn't make any sense to Jade, and she says so. "That doesn't make any sense." But then she's asked questions about something she actually cares about. "I'm an electrical engineer. I work with circuits and stuff." That's definitely not something that can e...

Maids on a Train "I didn't," Jade counters the statement about copying the mermaid's spell. "You said something about a moon prism and held your wand above your head. I pointed my wand at you and just said whatever came to mind. You tried to give yourself legs, I tried to give you le...

[Courtyard: D&D] "I know of him." Ambrosia remarks as she hears the name Arkant. "More than just a business I'm pretty sure. Several of them in fact. Though they might all be under the same name." She briefly looks to Awen's fox as it comes picking up the holy symbol. Was th...

[Library] Robo dinosaurs are aggressively against reading for some reason. Maybe because their arms are too short. A page turn is probably Seraphina's best bet and when she smacks the desk, Maria is visibly startled. Apparently her rudeness of ignoring the library customers isn't entirely intention...

Cult Clash "It's really quite the conundrum." G'nichi agrees. "I'm very proud of my armor. It's a symbol of my order and profession and very good at keeping me from needing a healer. But I also like being able to use my wings. And I can't really have both. Without some serious magic ...

Entryway A large eye slowly opens, staring up at Obsidian. "Mmph." he mumbles. "I guess. Who are you?" [ Entryway ] "I'm Obsidian," she says. She doesn't introduce the zombies nearby. Obsidian swishes her hair. Even though (she thinks) it's obvious, she adds, "I'm...

The reason why he doesn't need gloves is clearly because....some reason. There's been times Harley was wishing she were wearing gloves when she did things. For example, not getting infected by three separate mutagens at the same time would've helped make her pregnancy easier. Unless Magtok wants to ...

[ Hotel Lobby ] The paladin shakes his head. Slowly, since it still hurts. "I've become a big proponent of people only getting punished for the things they themselves did," he says. "Since you say any publicity would cause problems for people innocent of the matter, I'll make sure to ...

[ Courtyard: D&D ] Ambrosia doesn't need to worry about the offer being strange or awkward: Awen already blames herself for it, so she's not going to consider Ambrosia to be awkward. "Ah, yes, Vutha," Awen says. Once Vutha explains who she accompanied, Awen turns and points out Arkant ...

Maids on a Train "Just because the first two were similar doesn't make there a pattern." The mermaid's attempts at magic highlight this. "See? Fickle and unreliable. What works for me doesn't work for you." [ Maids on a Train ] "If you already knew what works for me and you...

Cult Clash But armor can be made for the wearer, Zophiel! "Well, it's very good for keeping you from being stabbed. But there are issues with wearing them all the time, so I don't. For me especially, I can't use these when wearing them." G'nichi gestures back at his wings. [ Cult Clash ] ...

Streets- Doll, June Result: 9 It's not much of a purse, if the bag is a purse. It's a small drawstring bag, and opening it reveals no sign of money or identification documents. Instead, it contains a collection of human teeth, mostly molars. The doll is picked up! There's no name stitched into it, ...

Courtyard: D&D Ambrosia was thankful that Awen had decided to come by just as she had no idea how to reply to that. Still, Awen's question wasn't all that much easier to answer. "Oh... uh, no I believe it should be I thanking you, Awen. You've done more than enough for me already." Sh...

Streets An abandoned doll is here. It's a ragdoll, with a large floppy head. Its body is made of white linen, with a mismatched pair of buttons (one navy blue, the other black) serving as eyes and rough stitching marking a large grin. It's wearing a simple sleeveless dress of coarse burlap, and the...

Cult Clash "Well, if you hang around me long enough it'll happen eventually. I'm cursed with a constantly 'interesting' life. Which really means that I should wear my armor more often but I admit sometimes I just really don't want to, you know?" G'nichi shakes his head. "I should rea...

Maids on a Train "Stupid impossible magic nonsense," Jade grumbles. "No, I didn't do it. Which just proves my point. Magic is fickle, unreliable, and can't be verified by experiment. It's no use." At least the mermaid seems to be enjoying the flame tail. Jade has no idea what it...

Entryway Luckily for Obsidian today is a visiting day so she won't get stopped at the door. Though the zombies are probably drawing some eyes. In the immediate courtyard of the school is a rhinoceros-sized purple dragon with a thick horn on his nose. He is snoozing on a small pile of homework. Well...

Courtyard: D&D "Wouldn't that make it even more important to educate her about them? And I mean more than just book-knowledge. Since as much as I love theory I don't think it would satisfy her curiosity in this case. Perhaps you could ask her if she wants to meet them in a more controlled ...

[ Fairy Tales ] Venus, of course, wonders why 'Toby' is on the hard-veto list. Did Rein have a dog named Toby once? Or maybe a friend named Toby? Or maybe an enemy? Regardless, it doesn't really matter. "Okay," Venus says. She would stand up right now to get ready to leave, but she's been ...

[ -> Hotel Lobby ] Zophiel looks around the room as he enters, and pointedly avoids looking at the magazine tables. Seeing the door out, he considers just leaving, but...he really does need a few hours of rest, and that's unlikely to happen out on the streets - if he does go out, he'll just have to ...

Just like Harley has forgotten about where, exactly, this secret entrance is, she also forgot that a front door actually exists. So, Magtok doesn't have to worry: it's not his fault she's going to this side entrance. Mrs. Terenti . If Magtok can see her face through the door, it's pretty apparent th...

Maids on a Train Jade can't see her new halo, but she can see the change in her already-changed clothes, and in the feather duster in her hand. She knew about the hidden dagger (strapped to her garter) but doesn't think that it might have changed. "See? This is exactly the kind of thing I'm ta...

Cult Clash "Oh. I'm a paladin." G'nichi says with the utmost of pride, standing so straight when he says it that ot almost seems like he might salute. "So I go around righting wrongs and questing and other grand and righteous things." Not directly doing things for Bahamut, thoug...

[Intact House?] "...Welcome." Shivers purrs, pointedly averting its gaze from Zophiel. "...Poisoned?" Tiff frowns. "Why would someone poison you and dump you in the Abyss? Seems like overkill to me." She pauses again and looks him over, before taking a step back and ge...
