The Nexus

[Into the Looking Glass] Huh. Not the answer Ilpholin expected. So it was something other than power binding the General to the seat of government. Ilpholin would have to inquire deeper, but the moment seems lost when Limuria declares the start of her performance. The nymph raises an eyebrow at the...

[?????] The courier looks at the address again. Mt. Enn, really? No wonder there were so many places around like Inside. Could they all be blamed on this one landmark's pun? Probably not. Especially not such a famous landmark. Or dangerous. Fortunately, it's not like he has to stick around. The ins...

[Contract Board] The uncertain bodied, sometimes decently clothed Reina has trained enough with Zhareen that she's been given the green light to once again take up MERC missions. All but the absolute worst of her visions no longer hamper her ability to function normally and she can tell the differe...

[Into a World that Was] Hmm... Orrava has slept with Pangon too most likely. Was she the mother of any of those three? No... they surely would be much tougher. Maybe? They could just be too young. In time with training, they could each match Ilpholin individually. What a tangled web Pangon has slep...

[Into the Looking Glass]

"Nothing important that can't wait," Ilpholin says, waving Nye ahead to go with the General and answer the latter's questions. If it were important, Ilpholin certainly wouldn't be discussing it here. At most it's small talk.

[Quiet Dinner] That's good. This is good. Harley's putting the knifes down. It's a good sign. No knives mean- oh. Right. Her entire body could be knives. It's easy to forget that Harley is as dangerous unarmed as Rein is. He waits tensely for her response, gripping the table slightly, but it doesn'...

[Into the Looking Glass] And those two were off again . If Siana is putting up an act, then it was most likely they were actually headed off to strategize for whatever their host has in mind next in the face of their loss. A murderer and a vampire ought to be able to cobble together some fascinatin...

[Into a World that Was] Well to be fair to Barenza, Ilpholin's never beaten Pangon Urshal either. But then it sounds like Barenza's tried a lot harder. It wouldn't hurt to see what techniques Barenza has developed as well. She surely has her own style worth examining if she can give the Grandmaster...

[Quiet Dinner] And nothing could ruin this dinner. "Well... I may have exaggerated the nightmare aspect really. They're more like... wet dreams. Extremely wet dreams. A deluge even." Much like the amount of sweat that's on Rein's face right now. "Only I've very recently discovered th...

[Quiet Dinner] That's a good reason to not want to test to see if chocolate is haunted. It would quickly ruin a lot of potential sweets in the future. Good for the teeth though. "Hah. Serves em right. That's funny. Ah-hah... and speaking of funny, we should talk." Reinholdt says, putting ...

[Extraction Plan: CD] Reinholdt will do his best to catalogue the other members. Gauging their apparent readiness to react in a crisis, their abilities, their experience. ... Granted, there's only so much you can learn by looking at someone. Especially how they react when something big's going down...

[Into a World that Was] Lyn Cha begins to wonder if this love Barenza has for Orrava is reciprocated to the same level. Or if this is not a level of idolization that's been engrained over the years. Guess she'll find out soon enough. Damn demons though. Always murdering and incursioning. They got p...

[Into the Looking Glass] Well that was exceptionally gruesome, though the Phyrexian nymph's face betrays no emotion. Ilpholin can't help but wonder if the accused had been released whether they would have acted out another murder right there. For the shock and gore value. She can't discount the pos...

[Into a World that Was] Still respected enough as a former grandmaster to receive the attention of servants. Or perhaps that's just how the caste system around here works. Even if Lyn Cha is able to get Orrava out of her slump, it's probable that Orrava's lost so much social standing she won't be a...

[Extraction Plan: CD] Well hearing always was one of the biggest advantages his original form had over his humanoid sell out. Even still, Reinholdt questions if he's not mistaken until the second pop. Now he's certain. Gunshots are rarely lone, no matter what pulp fiction writers would sell to you....

[Quiet Dinner] "No," Reinholdt says, slowly picking at his half-eaten food. "Well yes. If it's white chocolate. That will send anyone running." And it's been scientifically proven that white chocolate is 90% more likely to be haunted. Rein nibbles his lip. He knows he's going to...

[Into the Looking Glass] Ilpholin's mouth draws into a thin frown as the results are announced. How unfortunate. The two friends must have been more focused on being morally right instead of being effective and the King in Rags... or there was something deeper at play here? Entirely possible as Sia...

[Quiet Dinner] The two year old Manja has been hoisted upon Felandria or GLoG for the evening at Rein's insistence. It's a small affair, dinner for two at home, kept simple with the overtures of romantic. So completely unlike Rein. Yeah, he'll make Harley's favorite meal from time to time, get choc...

[Extraction Plan: CD] Reinholdt takes a moment to rub against spider-man's legs, purring his thank you before actually shooing. Alright, there's Bebe. Diva has been disposed of hopefully. Rein will immediately hop into Bebe's lap and start settling. Things are too hot right now to make a move and i...

[Into a World that Was] Lyn's at least fairly used to being ogled, eyed, stared at, and all other manner of attention, wanted or unwanted. She didn't particularly care either way today, spending most of training thinking about ways to extract Jarowit's Spear with the least historical fuss. She'll m...

[Into the Looking Glass] Ilpholin finally speaks, poise and confidence carrying in her voice. Her judgmental gaze travels the room, moving from Nye to the General. "Certainly one of the best cases I've ever heard for a confinement system. This person needs to be in prison for her own benefit a...

[Into a World that Was] Hmm... too late to squeeze in training with Pangon. Ilpholin may be able to do it in the evening. Which would be better anyways, one of the goals being to end up staying in his quarters overnight. Though maybe it would be better to skip today? Leave him teased and wanting mo...

[Reinholdt's Office - Catlamity] "You can keep it if you want," Rein offers quietly. "Yeah, I'll be in touch." He gets the door for her, pressing a secret button on his desk that causes it to open by itself. It doesn't use it very often. A lot of people get startled when they kn...

[Extraction Plan: CD] Rein is predicting Diva is setting a trap for him by disappearing, planning on him coming out and catching him unawares. He's not going to fall for it! He doesn't predict that the trap comes next . The cat starts when the toolbox comes down. That devious little Diva. She's kin...

[Into the Looking Glass] "It answered the question," Ilpholin replies to Nye with a wave of her hand. Satisfaction was a different category altogether. The nymph would have to reconsider what she thought about the younger looking party guests. The foxling actually shows some potential. Sp...

[Into a World that Was] "Oh? She hasn't told you what it was?" Lyn Cha asks. That's unfortunate. Can't be great for Barenza's pride either. "I mean, I'll do what I can but I'm not promising anything." She's no councilor or therapist or whatever other boo-hoo emotion scientist pe...

[Reinholdt's Office - Catlamity] Reinholdt runs his hand through his hair. "It will probably take a cleverer man than me to figure out what you could do too, but if I think of something I'll let you know. Well something other than talking to Obriane." And even that's a gamble that could a...

[Extraction Plan: CD] Reinholdt continues to low meowgrowl at Diva, trapped under the cabinet. That's right you hussy. You work on that manicure. Reinholdt knows something you don't know. Or at least, is predicting that Bebe is going to recover at some point and recapture Diva in her arms. Or someo...

[Reinholdt's Office - Catlamity] "I'm sure I'll think of something," Rein says, though he'd rather not be thinking at all. At least names are something simple and pure he can focus on when the darker thoughts seep in. In the meantime, Rein produces and slides over a handkerchief towards K...

[Reinholdt's Office - Catlamity] Rein's not exactly doing much better as the weight of his crimes draws him into a well of guiltsand again. He really is just trying to stall until Kitty's gone, but it gets harder by the second. "Is there anything I can do? For you that is." Reinholdt asks...
