The Nexus

[Foxes and Felines] Start with some basics first! Unless May has an extensive amount of tools she's willing to break learning the hard way. Being able to open up locks and really examine the insides matters a lot too and that is one flaw of this padlock. You don't want to tear it open like that. &q...

[Foxes and Felines] "Oh, well that's the magic of the lock. Even if you do solve it once, you can just reset it and it will change again. It's like its own never-ending puzzle, specifically solved with lock-picking tools." He does take a few moments to think about her question. "So b...

[Foxes and Felines] "See? Sounds like a good opportunity to connect too." Few things kindle friendship more than a shared interest. Goth girl gals is certainly a reasonable... hobby? Lifestyle? The specifics are beyond Reinholdt. He passes off the last pot and steps away, drying his hands...

[Foxes and Felines] Reinholdt smiles a little himself. "That they are." People are weird. "Oh sorry, no. I didn't mean it like that. It's really hard to dye black fur I think? Don't quote me on that. I meant, dying the rest of you black. It would be easy to pass it off as a goth phas...

[Charity Dinner] "How horrifying." Reinholdt tends to avoid swarms and gremlins are already dangerous as is. "What, for free? Unlikely," Reinholdt smirks at the Queen rakishly. "I'm generally more of a find the treasure for myself sort of person. But who knows? I've taken w...

[Foxes and Felines] Reinholdt frowns a little. "That is complicated. It hurts seeing someone you care about being hurt. Hopefully he has someone he can talk to about it." He hasn't met this Eliseo fellow, so Rein's not even sure if he has a mouth, but presumably he does. You never know wi...

[Foxes and Felines] Reinholdt grows pretty quiet and there's a twinge at his lips. It's not his place to get mad for May, but he can't help but feel a little angry. It won't be of any help here though so he forces himself to rein it in. There's a sadness that replaces it when he does and he fails t...

[Foxes and Felines] Reinholdt opens his mouth to reply but quickly closes it again, thoughtfully thinking first. Ah shit, that was the worst question May could have asked. How to dig out of this hole he made himself? It takes a moment to formulate a proper response. "If you're asking whether I...

[Foxes and Felines] "My people- my species, well we all can shapeshift into large cats. Panthers, lions, cougars. That sort of thing," Reinholdt explains. "To us, learning how to do so is like how you bipedal children learn how to walk. It comes naturally enough." He pauses for ...

[Foxes and Felines] Reinholdt watches May's reaction, but it's not far off from what he was expecting. Mostly just confirmation as to why May's been listless tonight. "And I take it that it's a part of yourself you don't like much, huh?" Rein moves to the sink beside her and starts rinsin...

[Foxes and Felines] If Reinholdt was going to tread carefully, he wouldn't have agreed to babysit! Only wild and reckless behavior can earn the respect of children. For instance, Rein follows May's lead instead! Crazy! "So, you got your third tail huh?" Reinholdt says he enters the kitche...

[Foxes and Felines] "Then the bus driver can give you a sugar blasted caramel pop, but I'm not giving you anything until I see that completed piece of paper in my hand," Reinholdt tells Annie. This bribe has an unspoken expiration date. When Rein leaves, so does the candy. The movie start...

[Charity Dinner] "Shall we then?" Reinholdt stops just short of offering the Queen his arm as they begin to walk, exploring the dinner. It's probably only a matter of time before they stumble upon Atya and Braon. "Is that right? What kind of smell is that?" It's always useful to...

[Face Time] Ilpholin is taken aback by Cessie's sudden defensiveness at the most cursory question. The nymph's brow furrows and this dissipates the face of her confusion quickly. "If you're quite done with your third rate police interrogation techniques, you'll note that I've not once mentione...

[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. "And no Su-jin, you c...

[Charity Dinner] "As you wish," Reinholdt says with a light shrug. "We can look for her if you'd like." He wouldn't want to hold the Queen up forever, charming as her company might be. She may think the sharp teeth unsettling, but Rein only finds the biting potential more alluri...

[Face Time] Ilpholin almost looks ready to smile until Wenomir adds on a condition. A tax of information. Her face settles neutrally for a time as she processes a request she honestly didn't expect. She tilts her head to one side ever so slightly before replying. "... Why? I intended for this ...

[Fortress Bay] "It's not magic, it's just... who I am," Leah doesn't have a great explanation for herself honestly. Maybe the Drifter's handy scan device could tell her more. But she's pretty preoccupied at the moment. Because the catgirl solves her frog problem only to get a dog problem....

[Charity Dinner] "Hmm. Well-spoken. Atya is fortunate to have such a... spokesman? Or advisor?" The Queen leaves this question hanging in the air. "You speak for her with fervor and eloquence." [Charity Dinner] Reinholdt equally leaves the answer hanging in the air. "Fervor...

[Charity Dinner] "She's here somewhere. I'm certain she's more than eager to meet you as well." Having a literal queen backing your election efforts would be quite the boon after all. Reinholdt has much less to say about the fear of demons though. "I find it more effective to fear de...

[Charity Dinner] Reinholdt stands up a little straighter, but wonders why he's being sized up. The queen isn't planning to kidnap him and force him to join her slave concubinus harem, is she? That would be just... awful... "Oh all sorts of treasures. Monetary, Magical, Scientific, Hearts. I wo...

[Fortress Bay] "Hmph. Serves you r-eeeeeaiaai!!" Leah is rudely interrupted and shrieks as an icky frog leaps at her. She flails her hammer and the rest of herself wildly trying to get the frog away. It's fortunate that everyone backed off. That frog is going to get flung as far away as p...

[Charity Dinner] "I can't help it I'm afraid. I'm addicted to making a deep and lasting impression," Reinholdt says with a small grin. He performs his flourish. "Reinholdt, Treasure Hunter Extraordinaire." "You are correct as well, a number of fey do live here. I don't how ...

[Fortress Bay] What a good doggie. Leah wonders whether it belongs to the cute catboy or her now dirty protector. Maybe both? Were they together? A couple and their dog. Well Leah's not going to turn down an easy target. Once she's finished modifying her hammer, she'll step up. She'll wind up a hea...

[Fortress Bay] Leah draws back with a scowl. While Groack is being kept busy she puts a hand on her earthen hammer, a symbol being carved into the face as she does. A three pointed crown under a crescent with five rays extending from it. Extending out from the crown is a pair of cat ears. Leah does...

[Charity Dinner] Reinholdt's eyes certainly flick to the Queen's teeth, but Rein does not seem dissuaded, only spurned. "But of course, how could word not get out of your incredible beauty? Why it may actually be a crime against nature that your kingdom is squirreled away under a mountain so f...

[Charity Dinner] "I'm sure you will," Reinholdt says. Atya has a way to make a lot of things worthwhile. "Wait, someone you-" Oh no Atya's leaving! Feline expletives! Well, whatever it was, it probably wasn't important and Reinholdt certainly won't ruminate on it all evening for...

[Fortress Bay] If it was, then Lenny would have fallen off the cliff. Leah's arms being thrown up don't end up mattering much and she gasps as Lenny's hit. A wave of relief hits her as Lenny doesn't go off the edge. She's pretty sure falling off a cliff into the water below isn't as survivable as s...

[Face Time] "All battlefields possess an element of uncertainty Cessie. If I thought I knew everything the King could do, I don't think we'd be having this conversation. Or are you suggesting that Vigil's been compromised?" Cessie's at least a little fey herself. Perhaps she's heard the K...

[Charity Dinner] "Yeah, that makes sense," Reinholdt admits as he wraps a hand around Atya's hip for a moment, just to hold her. "I shall have to be careful not to get too far on your good side then. Maybe I'll borrow your flamethrower some time and change all the settings without ch...
