The Nexus

[Foxes and Felines] ”No.” May shivers. “I really, really don’t.” She takes an uncharacteristically warding tone here, but her mind races on how to elaborate if needed to. Could she say it represents that someone hurt her? It might be pointed enough to keep away further questions. Fortunately, the m...

[Foxes and Felines] There’s a clatter of silverware as the usually-dexterous kitsune fumbles. The question wasn’t new by now, but that last tidbit blindsides her. She reaches back into the sink with one hand as the other squeezes against the rim. ”Y-yeah… yeah, it does.” May swallows, trying to reg...

[Foxes and Felines] ”Huh? Um, yeah, sure.” May blinks and glances around, as if finally noticing what everyone else is up to for the first time. She unfolds and slips out of the chair, leaving the book behind and moving quietly to the kitchen area. The girl wastes no time opening the dishwasher and...

[Foxes and Felines] [Foxes and Felines] "Annie, you know I'm not above giving candy to those who diligently finish their math homework. You'd better get to it if you want the sugar blasted caramel pop," Reinholdt says as he grabs two freshly warmed bottles of formula off the stove. "...

[The Widening Gyre] " Okay... " Finian agrees timidly. The boy is still shook from the peels of thunder. Thankfully Kissa and Malachi follow a gesture from Sakura and go to sit on either side of him. " You three stay right here until mommy and Calanthe say everything's okay, got it? ...

[Flats and Cats] Elizabeth looks Blanche up and down and brushes off her shoulder, trying to figure out what Blanche was doing here while her brain tried to dig up an adequate response. "Me? Yeah. I'm fine." The catgirl lied as easily as she breathed. It should be noted for this turn of p...

[Aftermaths and Futures] Dulcinea returns the gesture and moves to lace her fingers with Reilana's own, glad to let the moment linger - and for once, she feels an unfamiliar nerve in her heart. Should she let this moment hang? Try and have it develop further? Would a kiss be too much? They'd only j...

[Aftermaths and Futures] Reilana laughs lightly. " Yes, you can come in. " She pushes her hair behind one ear, trying to quell a nervous energy mounting. " Sounds like you never met Jostan at the door then. " He's absolutely the more strict dad. [Aftermaths and Futures] "No...

[The Widening Gyre] " The house is very sturdy shelter. " Sakura agrees with a nod. " But Kissa and Malachi say lightning struck a tree outside. I see smoke, so it might be on fire. Can you check with me? " A little bit of worry enters her tone then. It's not raining, so it coul...

[Flats and Cats] Things in a tiny shitty corner of Inside have also been stressful recently. Not because of any horrible growing threats to the Nexus, nor any compounding pressures of doing life-risking work such as the kind expected with VIGIL. Well, okay, that's also there- she's still rather anx...

[Bird Watching] While the movie is already playing and the lights are dark, Reilana rolls Dulcinea into the theater. It's not hard to spot their seats, nor the conspicuous teen in front of them. She guides the way over, parking her girlfriend in the wheelchair spot and seating herself next to her. ...

[Aftermaths and Futures] A sour expression crosses Reilana's face in the moment before she opens her eyes. What does her dad want now? It quickly transforms into surprise when she spies her guest. She sits up in a rush, yanking her headphones out in the same motion. " Dulcinea? What are you do...

[Aftermaths and Futures] Dulcinea leans to look through the door and smiles fondly at the sight of her. It was strange; while seeing Reilana after an absence had always caused a spark of joy, the feeling felt new and different in the wake of dating her. Something deeper, yet familiar. Politely she ...

[The Widening Gyre] The commotion is more than enough to startle the kids playing outside today. Never mind that the result is a small snake, lightning struck a tree! Kissa and Malachi spring up from where they were hurling snowballs at each other. They exchange one look before they scramble inside...

[Aftermaths and Futures] " Ah, rangatahi , giving in is figuring things out. You think Kahurangi didn't know as well? " Tamawhetu laughs again and shakes his head. Kids. " But it's true; life is too short. In honour of that, I'll permit a brief visit. " He decides. [Aftermaths a...

[Too Many Visitors -> Exiting] Hiep has never been very comfortable with silence and this time isn't much different. "You two were right. She is really hot, but also really not right in the head," she proclaims. "But we did find out that these phyrexians are a new factor." [Exit...

[Scarlet's Day Out]

Ana is all too happy to snuggle in and enjoy the setting sun, basking in the moment of comfort and solace beside him. Things were still messy and her problems weren't over, but for now those all seem far away.

[Aftermaths and Futures] "Oh, it wasn't me who needed to figure things out!" Dulcinea laughs in turn. "I knew the whole time, I was just waiting for her to ask me first. Though if I'm honest, if she'd taken another week I was going to give in and ask her out before everything happene...

[Scarlet's Day Out] "Oh, so you like him huh?" Ana teases with a fangy little grin, but is quickly distracted from such a path once Eliseo starts to sweet-talk her. She makes a heartfelt little sound and leans in turn to give an affectionate nip along the line of his jaw. "I'm way ha...

[Aftermaths and Futures] Tamawhetu opens his mouth, as though to reply, then stops. He closes his mouth again and furrows his brow, and then he speaks. " Dates? What do you mean dates? " [Aftermaths and Futures] Tamawhetu's surprise seems to take Dulcinea by surprise in turn. "Oh! Er...

[Bird Watching] Meanwhile... Skyla brandishes her tickets as she pulls Atsede in with her, leading her eagerly to the indicated theatre. "I'm really excited to see this one! I heard it's really good, y'know?" She'll guide her to a pair of seats at the center. The film is already starting ...

[Aftermaths and Futures] " Of course, of course. I won't be overbearing, but do let me know if you need anything. " Tamawhetu closes the door behind her. He looks at her with an expression that's hard to read, like he's still processing something about the whole situation with her and Rei...

[Scarlet's Day Out] " I guess so. I didn't really know. Not until I talked to him about being a jerk to you. We talked about it and that's why he ended up chilling out a bit after that. " Eliseo rubs the back of his head and chuckles awkwardly. " I guess it's lucky he never worked up...

[Bird Watching] Reilana smirks. " You've thought this all through. Let's no wait too long, though. I'm guessing you want snacks. You know, for the show. " She teeth flash briefly before she reins it in. [Bird Watching] Dulcinea rolls her eyes, but its easy to read the gesture as purely pl...

[Scarlet's Day Out] " I've always got more time for you, don't worry. " Eliseo leans into her, happy to take whatever form of affection Ana is comfortable with right now. He lets that sit for a moment, but a sense of guilt is eating at him. " But yeah maybe Senril will be a bit less ...

[Scarlet's Day Out] " Uhh- " Shoot. It's not like he's keeping a secret! It's just awkward. " He was just being dumb before and teasing me about being here with his new boyfriend. " Eliseo replies incompletely. [Scarlet's Day Out] "A new boyfriend?" Ana's brows shoot u...

[Bird Watching] "Oh no, I already took care of that." Dulcinea waves a hand dismissively. "Who do you think bought the tickets? And Atsede's been such a dear by arriving late and ensuring we don't have much time to kill before the lights go down. Between focusing on the movie and the...

[Aftermaths and Futures] "Afternoon, Tamawhetu! Sorry - I was just hoping to visit Reilana, so I didn't want to impose on you. It's good to see you." Dulcinea speaks genuinely as she wheels herself in. It's been a while since she had to use one of these, but the motions come easily. His o...
