The Nexus

[Cursed Hero Class] "Indeed, and you are Lex, if I recall correctly," Skye answers with a nod, "I was wondering if it'd be possible for you to tell me how to kill creatures like you." Well, that's a hell of an introduction. "I do not wish to harm you, of course, but the dut...

[Cursed Hero Class] "Excuse me?" Oh boy, Lex is being approached! It's of course by one of the other students from Cursed Hero Class, a girl which the great big slime creature will recognize as either 'Skye' or 'that weirdly chesty girl from class' or 'the girl that had to be told not to ...

[Lab] Wow, that's quite a look. Skye's eyes will linger on the woman's chest for a moment - even through the most clothing that's quite a striking figure - as she waits for the tasting to be finished. When it is - so that she's not interrupting, naturally - Skye says, "Excuse me, are you 'Arti...

[Skye's Apartment] "I'm familiar with the distinction, Asami. Gender is your internal expression, while sex is your body's structure. The mystic in my clan back home was both a man and woman internally - it was exceedingly frustrating to them that they could not be both in body as well. Also, ...

[Entrance Hall]

Poor Henry. Doomed to Old.

"Thank you!" Skye bows politely, and then will begin moving in the direction Henry indicated. Hopefully, this is the right person, or she's going to feel terribly stupid.

[Entrance Hall] Ah! Someone to ask for help! She looks quite relieved when Henry approaches her "Ah, yes! I was asked to come here and speak to someone named Artie, but all I know about her is that she's here in HALO and has a figure like mine," Skye lays a hand on top of her chest to ind...

[Skye's Apartment] "Being a different sex is the very definition of a change in shape, Asami. It's a change to the function, appearance, and overall structure of your body," Skye points out, "It's something I'm entirely incapable of." She has a lovely smile, doesn't she? And is ...

[Entrance Hall] There's a young woman - more of a teen really, though her curves are significantly more developed than most teens - standing here, looking at the entire place around her in bewildered, frustrated awe. At the moment, she's wearing a pair of jeans that hug her hips, a pair of sturdy c...

[Skye's Apartment] "Asami, that is very much not something just anybody could do," Skye comments as she hauls in more of the carcass, "I didn't choose to have the curves I do, or to be a woman, or anything like that. Aside from slow growth over time, my body is static, and that's tru...

[Ruined Observatory] "Very well. Though I'll warn you both that this is a lengthy ritual, and will be... threatening to the residents. Attempting it would be like lighting a beacon to invite attacks, and thus require defense. Is that alright with you both?" Skye asks. It's a solid plan, i...

[Skye's Apartment] Skye blinks owlishly at Asami for a moment, "Huh. That's... huh. Why and how are you a boy?" she asks, clearly curious. She doesn't want to be one herself, but where she's from this is some pretty powerful magic. And when she catches his eyes lingering on her chest... w...

[Skye's Apartment] Skye opens up the door, then, having put her book down on the couch, which will expose Asami to the fact that Skye has also grown a little, though it's largely in the kinds of places people attracted to women like to stare at. Her outfit doesn't help. "Oh, Asami! Welcome,&qu...

[Skye's Apartment] Skye's apartment has always been rather spartan. She doesn't like having much - a basement space for practicing katas, very much functional furniture everywhere and a disciplined cleaning regimen keeps the counters, tabletops, and everything else clear. There isn't even a televis...

[A Succubus Problem] "I'll check on the boys and be right there with you," Sophie says. "Hopefully all this ruckus didn't wake them up." A Succubus Problem "Hoop?" Sekhmet questions, "Just show me where. I think I can set up a good ritual circle." She prepare...

[Ruined Observatory] "The way to counter such... holes in the world, for lack of a better term, is to counter the aspects of what was brought through," Skye explains, considering the space around them, "You need to reinforce the reality which you choose to have it be. The most common...

[Destroyed Wizard's Tower Basement] 'I am a suit of symbiotic armor! In exchange for making it so you need to eat more - sorry about that - I'll be able to strengthen you, armor you, and... well, act as legs. But I want your consent first. It's something of an intimate process.' The little chitinou...

[Ruined Observatory] "It gives us a level of framing for what's going on. If this divinity is alive but dead and undying, that would be a corruptive force on the world around it, and create coterminous points where its power is seeping about. From my readings, that's the nature of the Labyrint...

[Destroyed Wizard's Tower Basement] The little creature, unperturbed, moves up towards Onisa, and takes care to move around to the side that isn't holding a dagger ineffectually, intent on laying a pseudopod - and nothing else - on whatever piece of skin is open and available for it to do so. And a...

[A Succubus Problem] "I'm sure. It was my power as a Solar Exalt that protected me. I'm not entirely sure how it works but there's something that shields me against any influence that would steer me away from who I am. Mentally, that is." She sighs and looks back at her wings, then looks ...

[Destroyed Wizard's Tower Basement] 'Get out of here before more monsters arrive' is seeming like a tall order at the moment, as, following the sound of the explosion, there seems to be a... scraping sound, currently quiet but getting closer. It's rapidly coming closer, and if Onisa can't get away,...

[Ruined Observatory] Yeah. That must be it. The janitor is just really strong. That isn't too unusual for PREP, right? Janitors need to be able to deal with whatever nonsense the students get up to. "I think it's done," Khannie replies to sky, snagging the paper and holding it up. "N...

[Ruined Observatory] Khannie, for her part, is keeping an eye on the growing image. She doesn't want it to get over-exposed after all. That would result in another black sheet of useless paper. Though she DOES nod when Skye speaks up. "Yeah I- umm... I'm pretty sure it was Skye or me that toss...

[Damundra Canyon] Damundra is what the place is called on a map but if you mentioned it to any local they would have no idea what you were talking about until the words "dragon graveyard" or really just the word "dragon" were mentioned. Then they would point you here, probably a...

[A Succubus Problem] "I'm..." She can't say she's fine, that just wouldn't be true. "Mentally, I seem to be unaffected. For now, at least. As for the rest... well, it doesn't hurt, but it's going to cause problems." Trick is likely to recognize her attitude here; this is her wif...

[Ruined Observatory] "I haven't got a knife but I've got these," Khannie says, lighting her horn to levitate a pair of heavy steel clippers out of her bag. They look like the sort that might be used for cutting through sheet metal. Having something to cut through heavy duty objects when y...

[Ruined Observatory] Skye meanwhile is looking at her left hand with an enormous, if composed, frown. Her nails are hanging at extreme lengths, curling in somewhat gross ways due to not having been kept for (subjectively) so long. "Ah... would anybody have a knife? It seems I need to cut my na...

[A Succubus Problem] When the orb breaks, Sophie moves without thinking. Trick has already absorbed too much succubus essence; more might be fatal. And that's something Sophie simply won't allow. She enters the confused melee to interpose herself between the burst of essence and her wife. As such, ...

[Ruined Observatory] The thing about really stark blasts of light is that they cast very deep shadows, a fact that Khannie takes full advantage of. The darkness thickens and clots in front of her, swelling with the force of the explosion and drinking up the shadow cast by the light. When the blast-...

[Playdate]

"She says, ignoring the fact that teenage me was cutting deals with devils for power and gallivanting off to kill things for money. I dare say if our boys are anything like either of us, we've got our work cut out for us," it seems Trick's resigned to this fact.

[Playdate] "Ah, teenagers and twenty-somethings. If only they got out into the world right away, because clearly they know everything, and it's only when you're older do they stop knowing everything," Trick's tone is extremely dry, and speaking from an immense amount of experience with st...
