The Nexus

[Rooftops] Eidolon can be sighted through the windows continuing to descend until it's sank through the ground and out of reach. Meanwhile on the roof, Jason sees what Haru is doing and blasts a damaged section of the roof open, allowing the pair to descend into the top floor of the two-story build...

[Wading] Well, that's simple. You want to filter the interlopers. You must be this good at puzzles to lope. That sort of thing. The man sighs, but then shrugs - the ruin isn't too bad as far as places go. For his first attempt at engaging with the puzzle, our explorer looks for places where the sam...

"Well, the other is keeping up without even using all his fingers." And he hasn't had the injury fixed in one way or another, even here. "That makes it 10% more exciting. Or is it 11%? 9? A good bit, though, a good bit." The fact that Raril is unnerved by her arachnid features g...

Who could say? Not the drider. She never knew for sure why this happened to her - after all, hadn't she done everything right? - and by now she can't remember the details either. She looks delighted to see each person here though, even as they keep their distance. She buys a skewer of sweet potatoes...

A guest pauses outside the gate to Delmah Phor. "Aha! Here!" Wait. Where was here, again? "Itinerary, top." Golden elvish script appears in the air in front of her for a couple moments, spelling out "Visit the drow harvest festival at Delmah Phor." "Delmah Phor. Th...

[Skullfort] She could argue that she technically didn't break the rules, but she definitely went against the spirit of the rules doing this for him. "Uhm, well, I think it's cool, at least." The factory is confusingly laid out and crowded with machinery and warning signs, as always. Leah ...

[Wading]

Ah. He's found himself in some sort of endless hall trap.

Ignoring the puzzle for now, our explorer turns and walks back the way he came. Admittedly, he didn't keep track of how many pillars he passed on the way in. Maybe he can still just sort of...walk back the way he came?"

[Village] "I don't think we come to an agreement with this. After all machines aren't even part of the circle. Each of them needs to be build. They don't reproduce themself, normaly. I think that makes the difference as they have their own circle." Well, maybe they have to disagree. Sophi...

[Drone Escape]

Well, it looks like the drone won't be going much of anywhere after all.
Unless it can burst through a convenient window or little vent, it will quickly be left in broken, visible pieces on the palace floor.

[Sekhmet's Summer Party]

"Right. There'll be plenty of time to sleep later~"
Anchor leads the two of them in front of that big mirror first and then twirls around.

The shadow is just enjoying the contrast of the marble. Although, just the bathroom must be worth a fortune...

[Drone Escape] The fireball collides with the drone and two things happen. Firstly, it goes tumbling end over end, bouncing erratically into the walls, as one of its sails stops working. Secondly, a wave of being visible passes over it momentarily, and it can be seen in all its blue-and-gold curved...

[Drone Escape]

For now, the machine is easy to keep track of, as it's still dripping water, forming a shimmering wet blur as it flies down the hallway.
It'll take the first turn it comes to; escaping pursuit has become its top priority.

[Sekhmet's Summer Party] "Well, we don't have all day." Parties can drag on, and it doesn't seem like Sekhmet actually sleeps here, but the suite doesn't go completely unused. Still, Anchor follows Jack's lead in taking off her shoes - taking time to relax somewhere you aren't supposed to...

But you do want to go back down, don't you Charles? You want answers. The bars slowly bend outward in the strigoi's grip, until the gap in the cage is large enough to let them out. It's a simple matter to step across the room, between the other empty cages, and up the steps. The steps lead to the s...

[Rooftops] Eidolon hisses at the various attacks hitting it. Finally, it explodes with a shower of unreal purple spines aimed at all three of it's assailants (once Haru revealed her position, it immediately located her), then drops quickly through the roof and out of their reach. "It's getting...

[Firstborn Escape]

As Sekhmet lets go and Charcoal tries to take hold of it, the drone lets itself fall for a moment and then zooms forward as fast as it can. Got to get away from these weird creatures trying to grab it!

[Outside DFI] "Are these barriers so important? Would you believe your god to be lesser if he had the same concerns as you?" Askeladd asks. "I find that creating more barriers between mortals and gods than naturally exist rarely helps either." The centaur is puzzled by the quest...

[Into the Looking Glass] "They don't need every member to be directly reporting to VIGIL to run things, though I will remind you that almost the whole police force was replaced shortly after the new Mayor was installed." Skye waves her rock candy vaguely to emphasize the point. "As f...

[Firstborn Escape] The newly-arrived succubus will see Sekhmet holding...a completely transparent shape, visible mostly as being splashed with water and not made of steam. There's a big rounded bulb at one end, and a thin piece in the middle, and three fins or sails at the other end, and quite a fe...

[Firstborn Escape]

The drone beeps frantically as it is waved around in Sekhmet's grip. It's heavier than it looks, most of the weight at the front, whereas she has it by one of the fins it uses to fly around.
This probably doesn't make anything seem less suspicious.

[Firstborn Escape] Oh, that's the sort of thing it's supposed to avoid. When things shoot magic at you and lunge at you, you get out of the way! The robot turns and tries to get past Sekhmet and to a nearby door. Hopefully she won't be able to get a good grip on its metal plates and plastic lenses ...

[Firstborn Escape] The spy doesn't do that. For one thing, it's name isn't Felis. For another, while it hears what Sekhmet is saying, it doesn't understand it. And she hasn't actually damaged it or done anything else to engage its programmed sense of self-preservation. So it just drifts a little bi...

[Firstborn Escape] The observation 'bot hovers, turns slowly, and takes in the scene of the of the study, before fixing its attention on the bathroom. Seems to be a dead-end, and not a way Sekhmet can escape through. The thing is, steam is going to start behaving unusually when it encounters the ed...

[Rooftops] "Keep doing that!" Jason encourages, "It doesn't seem to like when you use different types of attacks against it in rapid succession!" He adds a beam of light to the fire attack. "I don't know if we can kill it, but I bet we can drive it off!" "I bet we...

[Firstborn Escape] Oh no! It's been moved somewhere totally unfamiliar! Now it's all alone! Well, it will just have to continue its last directive while recording what it can for when its masters finally catch up to it. Though it does have some routines for dealing with this. Perhaps contact could ...

[Into the Looking Glass - Return] "Ah, welcome back." Skye says. She seems about to say more, but she pauses looking at Ana. And then looks at her trophy severed head. And then back at Ana. And then she looks down at her plate of dinner which has just arrived - what excellent timing the p...

[Sekhmet's Summer Party] "Get into bed with you? I mean, without even looking at the other rooms? I'd love to." Anchor hops onto the space that Jack just rolled out of and settles herself under one of those wings, enjoying the comfort and company. "Oh, it is so soft . Surprised to se...

[Outside DFI] "You can't just say that like all us mortals are alike!" "Mist has got ties to the humans and the foxfolk, anyone can see that. But running his inn isn't the same as a human-run inn, and definitely isn't the same as living like us." You see, if gods are just like a...

[Skullfort] She can't talk about it in these...universes? Like she can't discuss it while on the material plane? Okay. "Okay. Well, it sounds like things are a little informal but that's fine. It's a community and as long as the people mostly get what's going on it seems like it's all working ...

[Firstborn Escape] Sekhmet can't see anyone watching her. This is because everything watching her is invisible. One of the Firstborn's robotic observation drones is doing its best to dive down to street level and keep up with her. There's nothing to see and little to hear, though it does disturb th...
