The Nexus

Maids on a Train "Base systems aren't reality," Jade sounds exasperated, "Math is the reality, Base systems are our way of categorizing it." Then the mermaid does... Something. And then asks Jade to try. "Did you just make yourself a vampire? ... Fine ." Jade changes b...

Maids on a Train Jade, still in fox-shape, hops up on the seat, glowering. She's pointing out how math and magic are different . "No, it's not magically changed by a mathematician wiggling his fingers. 4 in decimal and 11 in trinary aren't different numbers, they're different ways of writing t...

Maids on a Train "No, math works whether you know it or not. No matter what, two plus two will always equal four. Not knowing the words to describe it doesn't make it not true." Jade is getting frustrated with this. "Magic though... Saying blahblahblah and wiggling your fingers might...

[ Entryway ] A mysterious person appears! Well, okay. She's not that mysterious. Obsidian appears to be a young adult, with black hair and gold-and-purple eyes. She peers into the front door's windows She heard there were a bunch of dragons here, and...yeah, she's really wanted to see more dragons. ...

[ Fairy Tales ] Venus, as someone who has relatively-recently had memories that aren't hers forced into her, says, "I don't think it would be good to spread it the same way he did." However, she adds, "But having spirits spreading the message would probably be pretty effective, especi...

Maids on a Train Jade is good at math. She likes math. She does not like that comparison. "No. Math works. It's corroborated by physics and other sciences. I can look at a math equation and find a solution. Magic is insane," she feels strongly about this, "It violates all the laws of...

[ Intact House? ] Well... Zophiel concludes that this Shivers probably isn't the same person as that Mallory, who might've teleported him here to this basement for Tiffany to do...something. And Tiffany, for some unknown-as-yet reason, is trying to make him think he's somewhere else. But if that wer...

Cult Clash "Oh, I was just visiting a cafe. I wasn't really up to anything. Doing what I do doesn't really have a set schedule." G'nichi has managed to live fairly comfortably without a day job given that his house was handed to him for free and adventuring tends to have enough payout to ...

[ Infirmary ] Rein is, of course, correct: she must've always had red eyes. Her face was so unremarkable and boring that it'd make sense for there to be one thing that stood out like that. Especially because the red eyes seem to go so naturally with the stark white hair that they don't stand out or ...

[ Courtyard ] They just don't know what 'worst' is Muhahahahha. Eh nothing here. "Those people allways look busy." Vutha says "That is their whole job, if you get what I mean. Just remember they are all normal people as well. A lot of people aren't open and go to people they don't kn...

[ Fairy Tales ] Venus shakes her head, thinking it's all good so far. "Do we still need to come up with a way to propagate this story all across the Nexus? Since I don't...know if we can do the same thing to retroactively spread the story in everybody's mind." [ Infirmary ] In spite of tec...

Harley Zorzo arrives at Mt. Enn, looking for the secret entrance to the MagCave. It's been long enough that she doesn't remember exactly where it is, but she's sure that as soon as she sees the landmarks nearby it, she'll remember and recognize it. She would've called ahead, except...she broke her p...

Maids on a Train "I haven't found anyone who can teach it to my satisfaction," Jade replies. She tried taking classes, but her questions could never be answered. "Where does the energy from my fire come from?" "What happens to my mass when I turn into a fox?" And so on...

[ Intact House? ] Zophiel, of course, decides to stash the earrings in a little bag so for now he doesn't have to worry about dropping them. The paladin looks up the stairs. He assumes the woman from before works for the woman here, so...he's not quite sure what conclusions to take from this yet. Th...

[ Fairy Tales ] Maria can probably take comfort in the fact that, even if the plot doesn't take place in the library, at least the story itself will likely get put into libraries all across the Nexus. "You're right, sneaking by and avoiding them would probably be the most interesting option. Or...

Cult Clash "Oh, it's a few blocks down the road that way, the big one with the shiny round tower built into the side. You ah, might get a few looks since most of the parishioners are scaled folk. But there's no restrictions of course. You'd be welcome to come." G'nichi explains. Zophiel s...

[ Infirmary ] At the very least, a professional thief knows the value of privacy better than a quack doctor. Seraphina nods: yup, decent summary. "I don't go out of my way to try to get injured," she adds, even though he didn't imply she does. She just feels like putting that out there so ...

[ Courtyard ] Little does Awen know that Arkant is not that generouse. People work for low salery, but with the benefit of not be a slave. Some people might say he abuses their situation to make cheap products. On top there is a secret, but Awen shouldn't even know about that. None ever wondered wh...

Maids on a Train "I'm no good at magic, you're better off asking someone else," Jade answers, "I know just enough to know it's an absolute pain, it's completely inexplicable, it never seems to work the way I need it to, and it goes out of its way to make my life miserable, almost as ...

[ Fairy Tales ] Venus tries to not let it get to her, the fact that an idea she was invested in was shut down. She lightly slaps her cheeks. "Yeah. You're right. Going straight to face the villain makes a lot more sense for learning courage." Venus exhales, then inhales deeply. "Jane,...

Maids on a Train "I don't think people would mistake your tail for a broken leg even if you were on crutches," Jade comments. Crutches seem like a good option to her, but it sounds like the mermaid's pride gets in the way of anything that would make her seem crippled. [ Maids on a Train ]...

Cult Clash "Bahamut." G'nichi answers. "Though a different goddess also named Tiamat has given me advice once or twice. Our church teaches us of redemption, self-improvement, and fighting the forces of evil. But it's important to not just go running around trying to smite people.&quo...

[ Courtyard ] Poor Awen. She doesn't know how close she is to mind control. Vutha would be one of the few people around here not mad at that fact, which might at some point be extremly strange. A discussion about it should be fine but Vutha wouldn't say any criticism. Anyway, Vutha doesn't seem to ...

Maids on a Train "I didn't mean it like that," Jade backpedals when it seems the mermaid is insulted by her statements. It sounds like she doesn't want help, which leaves Jade unsure of how to proceed. "It's good that you can get around on your own." [ Maids on a Train ] The mer...

[ Fairy Tales ] Having finished reading the whiteboard, Venus decides to interject into the conversation again. "Overcoming loss through letting go would make for an interesting literary parallel to the Ragged King, who dealt with the loss of his place and power by trying to bring everything ba...

[ Intact House ?] If Mallory really just wished she didn't have to do it....why doesn't she just not do it? It's not that hard. In fact, not doing something is slightly easier than doing something. He's not worried about the forest shark - he's sure she can handle herself. Nor the weapons - not only...

Maids on a Train "You need help? It can't be easy to move on land without legs." Jade can't even imagine what that's like, and she has no idea how to help... And knowing her luck, just saying that will cost her her legs, at least temporarily. The universe seems to love doing weird things ...

Cult Clash "Well, I can't say that my church doesn't have a bit of a feud but...Tiamat and Bahamut's battle is old, old blood. Not something from people bumping into each other on the street." G'nichi admits, looking around. Oh shoot, did he introduce himself? He can't remember. "Um....

A young adult enters the tavern! She's practically skipping. Obsidian, who is a dragon-disguised-as-a-human, is likely that excited because of what she has in her hand: an oblong, speckled fist-sized egg. Her sparkling purple eyes say as much. Egg! She found an egg, and she's decided she's going to ...

[Courtyard] "Nice to meet you Witch Awen." she says with a friendly smile offering a hand to shake. "I am Vutha, Vutha Isk. I'm the accompaniment of master Arkant." He's over there. She points at a tall man in a grey suit who seems to be intressed in Sekhmet and Ambrosia . "...
