The Nexus

[Running] TASBot watches warily as the 'deer' before him shift into more humanoid forms. He isn't a stranger to the concept of shapeshifting, but he remembers hearing somewhere that only particularly powerful shapeshifters can change their colour scheme when they switch. Or was it only a certain ty...

[The Return] "The choir? That makes sense - you have a beautiful voice," Micah comments without missing a beat, though his body language immediately after implies saying that out loud was completely unintentional. "So, um, uh... it's a card, yeah," Micah says, trying to quickly ...

[Running] Deer aren't the only thing darting through the forests of Outside right now: they're also host to a blue humanoid robot in sporty clothing rushing through the trees at breakneck speeds. Like the cowering pudu, he gives no thought to where exactly his diamond-infused mechanical legs are ta...

[Ruined Motorway- Rapid Robots] Ruined Motorway- Rapid Robots The turret is an open cupola where a figure would once have sat, shooting a machine-gun at things they wanted dead. It doesn't move, and probably couldn't without someone to use it. The doors are unlocked, and creak as they're pulled ope...

[The Return] "Really? No offense, but if you've gone your whole life without playing a game than you've seriously missed out," Micah says, a hint of pity in his voice. These 'galgallin' she just mentioned can't have had very fun childhoods if they had no games to play. "So, I'd be ha...

[The Return] Micah doesn't object to having his photo taken, though he is mildly surprised. When asked to explain what a 'gamer' is, though, he perks up. "Oh! Well, a gamer is... I suppose it's someone who plays games often, and knows a lot about them." he explains. After a pause, he adds...

[The Return] Miicah blinks from the flash of light, then gulps when he sees Octavia looming over her. Somehow, he feels that she specifically is a girl that he doesn't want to embarrass himself in front of. ...Unfortunately, Micah's hesitation allows Asami to come in with some more misinformation. ...

[The Return] "Did I startle you? Heh, sorry," Micah apologises, barely able to hide his amusement as the anti-detection magic begins to fade. "It's this new technique I--wha?" he starts, getting interrupted by Asami forcing the sniper rifle into his hands. Micah looks down at th...

[The Return] A shadowy figure clad in a purple hooded cloak stalks silently towards Asami. He appears to be using some kind of dark magic which makes his presence impossible to detect through methods other than plain old sight; this means that Asami should have no way to expect it when the cloaked ...

[Ruined Motorway- Rapid Robots] TALBot chuckles as the explosive projectile works its magic on the wrecked plane. He's aware that blowing up corpses is a slightly bizarre thing to enjoy, but with how easily the dead machine's body was torn apart by one explosion, he's sure he's showing it just as m...

[Ruined Motorway- Rapid Robots] TALBot sighs as he presses on the brakes and shifts into first gear to bring the hypercar smoothly to a stop. If there's one thing he doesn't like about this place, it's that not every piece of road debris can be safely manoeuvred around without slowing down. Telepor...

[Ruined Motorway] A lone hypercar roars down the Ruined Motorway, avoiding debris on the road with seemingly effortless turns and hitting speeds the average raider's ride could only dream of on clearer stretches of asphalt. The car's unique, aircraft-like design makes it anything but inconspicuous,...

[A Golden Age of Villainy] TANBot bends over and snatches his high-frequency blade back from Princess Purrloin once she's on the floor, holstering it and crossing his arms triumphantly. Part of him wants to make sure Purrloin can't steal anything ever again, but the fact that there are other people...

[A Golden Age of Villainy] "GET BACK HERE! RUN THESE HANDS!" Undeterred by Princess Purrloin's substitution jutsu, TANBot continues to pursue her down the street. He really wants that sword back, after all - there are few like it, and fewer still that can imitate it. TANBot takes to the w...

[Post-Maze] As Asami's light is dimmed down, Micah notices that some of the others are leaving to go and watch Brinika's musical number and decides to go do the same, excusing himself with an "Okay, yeah, I'm gonna go watch Brinika's dance too. See you guys later, I guess." Right before M...

[A Golden Age of Villainy] "Wha-HEY!" TANBot shouts the instant he notices his high-frequency blade has been pilfered. He immediately looks around to see who the perpetrator was, and while he does notice Princes Purrloin holding a familiar orange sword, he also leaves himself wide open to...

[A Golden Age of Villainy] TANBot launches into a dodge-roll to get out of the catarang's path, then nimbly hops to the side to evade the next cat launched at him. Fighting the urge to look behind him and check if it's okay, the robot instead says "Fine then, don't throw me a bone. Screaming a...

[A Golden Age of Villainy] TANBot moves reflexively once he sees the launcher being loaded, acting with surprising speed to catch the feline projectile right out of the air before it hits his screen. Holding the angry cat at arm's length to prevent any clawing of his screen, TANBot indignantly rema...

[Post-Maze] Micah's smile fades as Asami's glow intensifies. He doesn't exactly know why Asami glows or what strobing signifies, but he has a feeling it's nothing good. Holding a hand up to his face and squinting against the harsh light, Micah glances over to Cheasadh since she seemed to have the a...

[A Golden Age of Villainy] Captain Catastrophe's question actually gives TANBot some pause, and he shrugs in response. "I dunno, I hadn't really thought about it that much." He begins to list his options, counting up on his fingers as he does so. "Would you rather I run your pockets,...

[A Golden Age of Villainy] High above the city streets, a lone robotic ninja leaps skilfully from building to building. He jumps between walls almost as if it were flight, not stopping until he notices the power station down below. Overhearing the grandiose chatter about stealing electricity, the l...

[Post-Maze] "W-well, if you didn't have anything in mind, you could always come by the shop and I could show you there," Micah tentatively offers. "Those don't start with D, though," Micah quickly whispers to Khannie before giving Asami a warm and welcoming smile. Though his fac...

[Post-Maze] "Wouldn't that only be the case if she's not telling the truth, though?" Micah asks in response to Asami's comment. Khannie doesn't seem delusional, at least to him. "Anyways, to answer your question, emotional darkness... sounds about right? It seems to work just as well...

[Post-Maze] This certainly is Micah's first experience with an excited unicorn, and he's at least a little intimidated by Khannie's sudden enthusiasm. "W-Well, like I said, I don't have as much experience with it as you seem to, but I found out that trading cards start to accumulate darkness w...

[Post-Maze] "Maybe so, but no-one ever said I couldn't learn from others' mistakes," Micah coolly replies to Asami, seemingly unbothered by her offputting remark. To Khannie, Micah shakes his head and says "No, the classical elements aren't my style. I'm mostly studying wielding dark...

[The Maze - Exit] "Oh, hey, you guys all made it out alive!" Micah grins as he also turns to wave at Khannie and company. "Brinika pretty much summed our experience up. Nothing an up-and-coming dark mage can't handle, though," Micah boasts, deciding now is as good a time as ever...

[The Maze - Exit] Micah looks over at the table being swarmed by goblin kids. "Oh.. right," he says, barely hiding his unenthusiasm at the idea that the chocolate bar he just finished was procured from a table covered in snotty children. "You guys should see my brother if you think t...

[The Maze - Exit] Micah will take the caramel bar (if Asami didn't take it first, otherwise he'll take the one with the wafer) and start biting into it slowly. "I dunno," he says in between bites. "Hey, Cheasadh, where'd you find these anyway?" he asks after finishing the chocol...

[The Maze - Exit]

Micah also sighs, though it's a sigh of relief. "I'm just glad you're okay. I really got spooked for a minute there," he admits. He himself isn't entirely sure if Asami is telling the truth or not, but he doesn't really think it matters.

[The Maze - Exit]

"Uh, oh geez," Micah says nervously when Asami drops to the floor.

"I-is this normal?" he asks nobody in particular, while looking around to see if there's anybody else nearby who might have more experience with this kind of thing.
