The Nexus

[Aiko's Bad Day] "Yeah! Imagine being our conscience! It'd be the worst! " Koko affirms, easing up on Asami's arm a bit. As they take their seats at the computers, Koko smiles and reaches out to the keyboard... only to stop and vacantly stare at the screen, a little smile still plastered ...

[Aiko's Bad Day] [Koko] "I can't imagine they agreed to those names," Asami notes, raising an eyebrow at Koko. "Anyways, I don't think you'll really feel anything about it after the fact. You'd just be one person, same as before. That's the theory, at any rate." Asami blinks in ...

Halo Skybase "Yeah, I get it. Having to make everything water-resistant for me is a serious pain. But I can't really help being amphibious. I uh, hear Mister Bushranger's costume was kind of tight. Which does work for if I have to swim or wear it under clothes but well." It probably would...

[Aiko's Bad Day] "Maybe not. But I'd know." Sigil Aiko replies with a soft sigh. "...I'm sure it all sounds very silly to you. But this is not about what I'm seen doing. This is about what I do . I keep the promises I make, even if the only person to whom I make them is myself."...

[An Upper Room] "Hide, hide, my kingdom for a hide..." The other succubus mutters airily, her shadow imitating the wave of a conductor's baton with her offhand. " I'd be tender, I'd be gentle, a model but less mental, how I'd laugh and grin~ " She sings outright, the shadow spla...

Ecbatana "Yes, bread and soup are handed out daily, at dusk and dawn. There's also priests trying to spread the word, though with little success. Your predecessor was not interested in their spiritual health, nor in her own. She knowingly associated with witches and worse." The amusing th...

[An Upper Room] As far as anybody who isn't a succubus is concerned, this room is empty. Not "empty" in the sense of being unoccupied, a quiet little corner of the inn that is currently not in use. No, this is more of an uncanny emptiness, the sense that there is nothing here, that there ...

[Aiko's Bad Day] Awkward silence reigns for the moment. ...Well, somewhat awkward. At least it might be for Mary. The Aikos seem moderately comfortable with the lack of conversation. The older of the two simply sits, statue-like, staring at the far side of the platform, while the one with the sigil...

[For Whom The Bell Gnolls] Blank blinks. "...Huh?" What's Khannie talking about? She totally had the horn, didn't she? He can't remember the last time he saw her without it. She's never not had the horn, has she? Blank frowns and pats at his own forehead, feeling around to confirm the fea...

[Outten Inn] Ava was good at reading people and situations, it was her specialty in fact. She was, however, not nearly as good at being deceptive or putting on a poker face which made her poker skills somewhat patch-work-y. She takes a quick glance at her cards and then looks up at her opponents. H...

[Khafir's Lab] "Quite the contrary. In the context in which the concept developed, it was a prerequisite for having a social life." Khafir explains, turning back to face Rein. "GIN's operatives would frequently be set against one another by competing interests. One would have to lear...

Halo Skybase "I thought I would ask since apparently an old Halo veteran used to have powers like mine. Um. Well, I got killed a while back and mostly came back, which has left me mostly alive but still capable of well, ghostly things. I still breathe, but I kind of just eat whenever I want? M...

Ecbatana "No, they are poor because they lost everything and were unable to retrieve their wealth or belongings when Immonia was angered and cast them out. They remain poor because they do not worship, and it is our responsibility to care for them whilst they remain in our city. They visit the...

[Khafir's Lab] "I will not claim to have any particular insight into his emotional state. I am not an empath." Khafir begins, setting the now-empty tranq gun aside and making her way toward the increasingly-groggy cat. "But I can tell you that the common attitude among GIN operatives...

[AIko's Bad Day] "...Indeed." Sigil Aiko confirms. She then proceeds to stand there, stoically, while they wait for the train, almost to the point where she would probably make for a decent impression of a statue. ...For about ten seconds. After which she begins pacing back and forth, loo...

[Aiko's Bad Day] [Koko] Koko hasn't left Asami's side since they stepped away from the crowd, but she only gets closer as the questions start, clinging to the boy's arm with both hands. "...I don't think I'd mind so much if it was just Babaz-chan." She says after a moment. "But Aiai-...

[Halo Skybase] It probably doesn't help that Henry's glance downward prompted Vlad's own, which in turn was not helped by the vague, cagey reference to his "anatomy" producing difficulties, before he goes on to clarify he's referring to his intangibility. "Ah, right, okay. You, sir, ...

Ecbatana "If they live in our city, they are reliant upon our god. Their... atheism is harmful to the city as a whole, and there's a lot of them. Two thirds of the poorest segments of our city, demonstrating that their blasphemy isn't just hurting the city- it's hurting themselves. The wealthi...

[Khafir's Lab] "That is not the reassurance you want me to believe it is." Khafir points out, loading a dart into the tranq gun and clicking it shut. "But so long as we are on the same page, it does not matter." "To answer your question." She continues, calmly walking ...

[Halo Skybase] Vlad looks up as he's addressed, slowly pulling himself to his feet, wiping his hands on his oil-stained t-shirt. "That's what it says on my business cards." He chortles, offering one of said hands to Henry. "Vlad Lustig. These are my babies you're looking at." A ...

Halo Skybase At another time, Henry Vadnova is making a personal inquiry. Dressed in casual slacks and a buttoned shirt, he makes his way through the base, mostly seeing the sights as he's never been here before. But also attempting to locate one or more members of the SCIENCE TEAM! Which given Hal...

[For Whom The Bell Gnolls] Blank falls in step alongside Khannie, somewhat absently keeping a hand on her shoulder even as she shifts back to a distinctly more equine appearance. Ginger and Octavia might note, if they're trying to work out the specifics, that Blank doesn't shift with her and keeps ...

[Khafir's Lab] "Hm." Khafir doesn't immediately reply, as she's too engrossed in her monitor just this moment, and there'll be an awkward silence filled mostly with the tk-a-tk of her mouse clicking as she investigates the new data. "...I am more than familiar with your reputation, m...

[Benedict's Manse] Of course, there's no sense in carrying Jackson and the jar separately, so Jubilee will do the obvious, practical thing and promptly drop the head into it... but after retrieving her stocking from his mouth. No sense in ruining the good nylon this way. After securing the jar, she...

[Khafir's Lab] The laboratory door opens just as Rein pulls his hand away from the pair of cats vying for pats. A cool breeze rushes in from the hallway as the lab's operator steps in, wheeling in a cart with a large bucket of ice and jug of water. Doctor Khafir is not in her usual attire, having f...

Ecbatana "We won't be advertising that part of your heritage. He had the regent drowned in the blood of his sons in the throne room, whilst your great-great-aunt watched. He also ordered half the priesthood to be castrated whilst my predecessor at the time was sealed in a box. He was able to e...

[Charity Dinner] "Daisy? Who is Daisy?" "Erm..." The second aide points over toward the doorwoman discretely. "...Ah. Well. That... will hopefully be sufficient deterrence." The first aide clears his throat. "We'll be certain to pass your message along, miss Xilo....

[For Whom The Bell Gnolls] "...It's par." The second Khannie deflects, kicking her feet at the dirt bashfully. "I can't really use most of the stuff from the people I copy, because I don't know how , and I can't hit anybody or anything because that just ends with me hitting myself. I...

[Outten Inn] Spy training? Yeah, that checked out. Since it could also explained the path she had taken. No spy should be important enough to for their employer to not be able to cut them off. Part of the job as she understood it and possibly what had happened to Hazel then. But about that question...

Benedict's Manse Jackson growls as he's scratched, glaring at Jubilee as she dares to threaten him. He's not visibly cowed, but as a severed head all he's got is appearances. "Ah, of course. It was lovely to meet you, though, and I hope you return if you wish to make further deals or bargains....
