The Nexus

Not a Date Bismuth's grip dispels the shock Darko is feeling, and he follows her without hesitation, running as quickly as he can. Although he's not able to shove aside manikins as easily as she does, a combination of dodging and following in her wake means that he keeps up without issue. And Bismu...

Cry Havoc While the undead do not react to Raheeda's warning before crawling back down into the sewer, Vy nods vigorously. "So Leng's fingers reach this place? Don't worry, my family is strong and clever, they'll be careful." He blinks sightlessly, possibly looking through his servitor's ...

Outdoor Movie Place Darko is more than a little confused at Koko's reaction- why does she care if the friend likes her? Admittedly she is the only person it's reacted positively to, but that's almost a little concerning to him. Not that he can blame the friend. Koko's foot kicking is adorable, more...

Paternity Problems Atya can sense the disappointment radiating off Reinholdt. It's not like she can blame him- in fact, she completely understands. But she could also sense that arguing with Braon now would only cause problems down the line. Which is why she's pleasantly surprised when the fiendlin...

Dorm In the past, Darko might have been uncomfortable sharing his personal space. But he's gotten more laid back since getting a roommate, and he's pretty tired himself. "Oh, you weren't talking about him? He was this philosopher I think? And he said that everyone has a shadow self that's like...

[Run Rabbit Run] And of course, the moment Harley comments on it, the singing stops. There's the sound of shuffling on the log, and her shadow shows her turning, no longer singing to the empty glade, but rather, staring directly at him. "...Do you think it's funny, mocking me like that?" ...

[Eastside Debates] Very similar positions on that question, though it'd be up to the voters to decide how they feel about the nuances. Though Nadia can't help but think they're both underestimating what their personal finances can bring to the table. It's not as though she can't relate. But enough ...

[Hunting] Shit. The famed paranoia of the Sidereal Exalted failed Hiep. This guy is anyone but a lost traveler. "...I don't know who told you that, but she wasn't there. And you really don't know who you're threatening right now." Hunting Nathair just shrugs at the warning. "Maybe yo...

Chateau Xilo "Well, it would be nice to confirm- and it's a big lab, so tracking would still be useful if we want to break in and find the body. And sending them a magic mailbomb would be pretty fun. But they're on high alert after my last break in, so... we'd need a good plan." Atya rubs...

Dorm "Shadows? Like the Carl Jung thing? Huh." Darko hadn't expected Asami to make such a deep philosophical point. But it makes sense. "You might be right. Maybe I just need to understand my own shadow more. Thanks Asami." Darko also sits up, looking a bit more cheerful than be...

Cry Havoc Raheeda looks to Vy. Oh right, the blind thing. She kept forgetting about it. "Sorry! Should have just handed it to you." Then she turns to his reanimated 'family'. ... "Oh you misunderstand, uh, him." She really ought to learn yuan-two's name at this point. She was su...

The Theatre changing its appearance is an entirely reasonable theory. In a way, it would be like putting on a different costume. Only usually it's the performers who do that, not the building. Not that this is an ordinary building. But now is not the time for theories! It is the time for action! So...

[Run Rabbit Run] The clearing is, of course, empty. In fact, as Harley looks around, he might just become aware of how empty. Not just in the sense that there's nobody here with him; somehow that doesn't seem entirely true, even though there isn't anybody here. Rather, there's not even the things h...

Chateau Xilo Atya listens with increasing concern to the explanation. When Rowan is finished she stares down at the table, biting her lip as she tries to piece together a theory about these events. And she doesn't seem to be happy about the result. Tilting back her drink, she proceeds to chug the e...

Outdoor Movie Place Whether Koko's jealousy theory is correct is hard to say, as there's no reply from the friend. But after a moment, the popcorn does leave her hand, floating a short distance in the air before disappearing. So it's not totally imaginary at least. Darko manages to tear his eyes aw...

Dorm "Yeah, but the farmers still got paid for their milk. They probably don't care what happens to it as long as they make a living. Same with the employees and such," Darko points out reasonably. He reaches over to give Asami a comforting pat on the head. "I'm sure they'd all be ve...

Run Rabbit Run Harley hasn't been a rabbit in a long time. In the intervening years he's ascended to godhood, turned evil, lost his divinity, and started on the long path of redemption. But there are some traits from his past as a woodland animal that have remained consistent despite all these chan...

Chateau Xilo Atya takes a moment to digest the information. "Well, I didn't come here by being killed by a dragon, that's for sure," she says, shaking her head in bewilderment at Simon's explanation. That's just... extremely weird. At Rowan's question, she takes a moment to sip her drink,...

Hunting Well, it's no surprise that this woman has some kind of power. What's more notable is the sandals. Those would be a very nice prize... perhaps a way to kill two birds with one stone. Pleasing Ilpholin certainly takes priority over Svartha's mission. Wait, does it? Didn't Svartha say that Se...

Outdoor Movie Place "Absolutely sure," says Darko confidently, "You could never be a bother." To be fair, it takes a lot to bother Darko- his roommate is Asami, after all. But Koko especially is the human equivalent of a golden retriever puppy, and anyone bothered by her has no ...

Aiko's Bad Day Bloodplunder Residence Darko looks around curiously. He's not actually been in many people's homes before, and his memory of his own is hazy at best. But this place seems rather cozy and inviting. A far cry from the crumbling Theatre, at any rate. The people are a little more intimid...

Dorm Bending down to sop up the rest of the milk, Darko stares in distaste at his soiled tshirt, then shrugs and tosses it into the trash. Easy come, easy go. He can just steal more clothes from the local MagMart again. Turning back to Asami, Darko stands helpless for a moment. How do you comfort s...

Hunting "Oh, thanks, that's... that's very kind of you," the man replies cheerfully, nodding in thanks, "But I'm actually looking for someone? She's an old friend of mine, I haven't seen her recently but... well, I've done a little divination and I got some kind of worrying informati...

Outdoor Movie Place Darko looks at Koko in confusion as she scoots away. Huh? Then he suddenly realizes what's happened and a mortified look crosses his face. He almost starts to reach out towards her but stops himself. "No, you weren't! Whoops... you weren't bothering me. I have an invisible ...

Dorm Darko usually stays out later than Asami, either to get in some extra studying in the library or to go to one of his hideaways and write in his diary. It's not that he doesn't like being in the dorm, it's just that there's always so much to do that it's hard to finally stop at the end of the d...

Hunting Well, that is strange. Nathair's curiosity is immediately piqued by the mind fogging area- something like that must exist for a reason, and it might be worth investigating. Maybe it holds some powerful magical item that he could claim for Ilpholin. Of course, it would be difficult to go int...

For Whom the Bell Gnolls Octavia is quite pleased with the result of their artillery. For all their ferocity, these beasts can't compete with the power of technology! And heavy explosives. Those are pretty effective too. But now to deal with the approaching gnolls. The angel isn't worried- as long ...

Aiko's Bad Day Bloodplunder Residence "She really likes eating books, huh?" chuckles Darko, moving protectively in front of Koko. Now that his own diary is secure, he's ready to thwart any more of Stinky-Chan's attempts at property destruction. Once they're inside he waves a hand dismissi...

Outdoor Movie Place Okay, those eels are pretty scary. Darko would probably be shaking a little himself, but his protective feelings towards Koko translate quite smoothly into bravery. Nothing like someone cute being scared to bolster your own confidence for their sake. Which is honestly a nice cha...

Paternity Problems It's always hard to know how many children is normal, especially with interspecies relationships. Atya herself has a twin, and five other siblings besides. But at least those weren't all at the same time. Although if Reinholdt is the father, well... cats do tend to have litters o...
