The Nexus

[Brefaisil] Marcie nods. "This Braeg has been in the world I come from for quite some time, perhaps years, though I met him less than a day ago. But he was recognized by a couple people here, and I can't imagine who would pretend to be Braeg in these circumstances..." She spreads her hand...

[Into the Looking Glass] Ah, well, Ana's loss. The General nibbles on a few more grasshoppers as the others roll out their concerns. So, they are passing judgement on a real person. Just one who's not at hand...or are they? Surely she, Siana, and Ilpholin have all killed. Ana is an unknown, and the...

Behold, all that was has passed away, the whole world gone, and yet this place remains, created anew in this new semi-true (oh, it is everyone, it is!) world. Now, where were we? Penelope, injured, was resting at the exit from the dungeon, the stairs into the long-crumbled castle above. Gwas and Ch...

[Firstborn Ship] Yes, that would make the robot a lot like a golem. The frozen Firstborn make Sekhmet a bit uncomfortable. Being frozen alive is a bit of a personal nightmare for her. She pauses in front of the door that's open a crack, then attempts to open it all the way. If it's just a normal do...

[Skullfort] "Huh. With this thing? I would have thought you'd need something pretty huge for monsters that size. What's special about it that makes it good for that?" Mist wonders if it could hold some grist, if he tried to bless it. He'd need to practice with his winds for a while before...

[Village] This is crazy. There's no way toasters work like that, Sophia is thinking. She's used toasters for years! Of course, she never did have any talent for seeing spirits. Rather the opposite, if anything. Perhaps, all that time, there was a quiet toaster spirit at work. How troubling. Demons,...

Mist gives him an absolutely giddy look. Funny animal-people are entertaining to him literally every time except himself. Comes with the territory of also being part whimsical fey: some things manage to be funny every time. "Wow, you look great! I'm sure they'll warm up to you immediately.&quo...

[Into the Looking Glass] "Yes, we've heard about the jury, so where does the executioner come in? If you're the um, witness, and your entertainers the accused... There's no fourth round that you may have forgotten to mention?" What an interesting puzzle. Certain guests certainly seem pred...

[Rooftops] "I'd assume so. Stay on your toes." Jason finishes his climb and takes a seat on an air conditioner. "Hopefully, we just have to wait for help to arrive." Kiun stays standing, pacing between the rooftop's edge and a locked roof-access-door. "Do you think it wants...

"Nope. I just figured there was strength in numbers." Jason turns a corner and begins climbing up a fire escape. "If we get more of its targets in one place, it will be forced to fight us all at once." "That's a good idea. I'll call for some assistance as well." We'll ...

[Into the Looking Glass] Whatever it was exactly that drove those tow to leave the table, they don't seem to have found much to their liking out there. How close is the underworld proper to this very room? And the black-side guests also seem fairly out of place here. She should be more suspicious t...

[Skullfort] "Those, mostly. They're very reliable." Leah points out the more modern bolt-action rifles in the second section of guns. "Goliaths like the big monster, from the Hunting Grounds." Mist surely could, but he'll have to decide on his own what that something is. The gun...

"I have no idea who it was talking about. I'm calling my sister." It mentioned her. "And no, we can keep moving. She knows where I am." Jason means she can track him. Oh, Jason meant wherever he was then, not wherever he is now. That's reasonable enough, so Kiun follows him down...

[Skullfort] Leah points out a potential problem. "The new arrivals have old-fashioned gear because that's all they could get. It should change pretty quickly now that they're here, close to the wider Nexus society. And then you'd be the old-school one." She considers for a moment and then...

"There must be something about me that makes it think I'm a priority. There's much more powerful beings out there that it could be attacking." He takes a turn down an alley. "Come on... 'sidekick.'" He taps his helmet. "Hey. Something might be coming for you. Big pink blob....

[Skullfort] "That sounds good." Leah manifests her gigantic gun of choice and sets it on one of the tables. "This...doesn't suit you. A machine gun, I think, would be fine. But you want something even simpler?" He's not thinking of an air rifle, is he? Wouldn't that be too much ...

"I don't trust strangers' magic," Jason replies, "I'll see a doctor later. For n... Ow!... Let's just get moving." He limps away from the scene of the fight. "If that thing is really out to destroy threats, it'll probably be after you too now," he comments. Kiun hops f...

That’s really cool! Felandria will reach up and give Reginald some scritchies. Not lonely, exactly, but it’s always nice for him to have another fluffy fren or two to hang around with, ya know? One can never have too many friends. Reginald will peek out from Fel’s hair and give Honeysuckle the big ...

[Skullfort] "Oh, neither. We just take the measurements of this one, and I'll use them at the factory later. Were you wanting to see it made?" Even though it's just one sword, Leah feels somehow accomplished being able to provide Mist a weapon. "The sunbeams will end up being the who...

Oh, hey, Honeysuckle, how goes things? I’m not looking for weird, specifically, but I’m not neccesarily excluding weird. Mainly looking for frens for Reginald, who is not weird at all. Reginald is not sure if Honeysuckle is calling him weird or not, but still seems slightly hurt by the insinuation ...

[Skullfort] True, although some of these 'knives' are definitely into short-sword territory. "It's magical. The original one had a sort of battery. But now we have a better way. Cloud gets the sunbeams, and I make them into a cutting edge, and Hunter makes them stable and real." "So,...

Felandria sees the tent and points it out to Reginald. Whatcha say, buddy? You wanna check that out? Reginald, who is perched on her shoulder, nods, then gives Fel a tiny lick on the cheek and some nuzzles. Heehee, okay, I love you, Reginald, let’s go. Fel and Reginald head into the tent. Another v...

[Skullfort] "Well, they are balanced weirdly compared to conventional blades, and they are showy compared to simple steel, you know?" But it sounds like he's fine with one, and it is kinda a Skullfort specialty, so that'll do. As for the shotgun, it's generically extra-reliable and accura...

His armor is designed to make it hard to identify him. He's close to average height, maybe a little taller, and he clearly works out. Other than that, it's hard to say exactly. "No idea. As I said, I've never seen it before in my life. I think I'd remember a weird pink blob like that... Ow!.. ...

[Skullfort] Don't worry. Leah's had most of the stairs replaced with more quadruped-friendly architecture for a while now. That ladder on the top floor is going to be a lot less used than it used to be, though. "Invisible swords are way more trouble than they're worth, especially for a beginne...

[Skullfort] You think that, Mist, but actually you would regret knowing too much. "Sure. Let's head down there." Then Leah starts to laugh. "Mist, I'm not some arms dealer. The whole armory is for protecting the town. Just like what you'd be doing." She waves off the idea of pay...

"But not what anyone could have done," Jason counters. He runs a hand along his torso. "Feels like... Ow!.. I may have broken a rib or two. But I'll... Ow!.. live." He'll need medical aid, or maybe he won't. Superheroes are known to walk off worse injuries occasionally. "We...

"It found me. Got most of the details wrong too. Believe me, I've never seen it before in my life." He brushes dust off of his armor. "Thanks for the assist." "Oh, it's what anyone would have done." Kiun says, fluttering her upper wings slightly. "Are you okay? It...

[Skullfort] Having weird legs is just what you get sometimes. You can avoid rushing into things as best you can, but sometimes it's just up to the high gods. Nothing to worry about. "It's something that you'll have to practice." Leah lifts a front paw and extends her claws, by way of demo...

"Oh, yeah, goodbye miss ghost." The bug-thingy looks back and waves with a pair of hands.
This kind of proves Selekhael right. Dying may not be so bad.
