The Nexus

[Finding GLoG] Reelshka's ears dip and she's briefly at a loss for words. "I... no, we don't accept used soap as donations. But the coins are welcome. And enough, thank you." Earth Queen knows what this woman would dig out of her pockets next. "But yes, that's what we do. It's not ea...

Askeladd regards the woman in front of them. She hides something behind her casual demeanor, clearly. But this isn't really a time or place to dig. "Friend of yours, I take it? Or co-worker, at least." Having said that to Krayger, he gives Rose a small bow. "I am Askeladd. Krayger and...

[Intersection Precinct]

"'Bout as well as it could've." Michalson shrugs. "But they're both pretty dead-set on fightin'. Or just resigned to it. It seems we stepped into a longer story and we don't know the whole dark."

[Well Training]

"...I do." Thariza's surprise is evident. She didn't know what to expect but it wasn't this. Not this kind of similarly. "I feel a man's life. Your sire's. It's... a lot like when I contacted other legends in the Mists. Maybe exactly the same."

[Finding GLoG] "We don't charge for help. We're a charity." Good thing they didn't inquire too much about spirits. It's not a topic Reelshka is strong on, despite being married to a shaman. Charity business is what she deals with. "We do take donations from those who can afford them....

"Hmm. The celebrations I'm used to from my homeland... might be too rowdy for this locale." Askeladd looks around. He might be wrong... but he also doesn't want to risk it. "Let's start small. Have some drinks and toast to your new position. Then I can tell a story. That's my calling...

[Intersection Precinct] Michalson sits down heavily on a chair, eager to take the weight off his injured leg. "It's a relic of my misspent youth as an adventurer," he says by way of explanation. "I went to Trog's, found Sandels and her there. She knew where to find Hoshiki."

[Demons and Demigods] Sophie steps through the portal and takes a look around. This location should be more disturbing to someone who has lived in very mundane locales all her life. But it's not. "I feel like this place should frighten me," she observes aloud. "But it doesn't. Maybe ...

[Finding GLoG] Reelshka looks up at Raheeda and some gears shift in her head. She realizes that she has to adopt her "talking to children" voice when speaking with her. Something she's quite practiced at, both with her own children and those visiting the daycare. "My left eye lets me...

[Finding GLoG]

Reelshka covers up her yellow right eye with her hand, leaving her green left one open. She peers intently at Harley, the eye watering slightly.

"I don't see any spirits or ghosts possessing you. I think you're in the clear when it comes to that."

[New Recruit] "So far it's your basic gunpowder cannon. Put in powder, a ball, light, boom." "That's what Frigate's old cannon looked like. We figured we'd start with it and add our own ideas." "I wonder if Flinshka would be interested." Kuvesh looks over at Jerick and...

[Castle Pinktooth - The Trio] "Yeah! You don't like looking like that and it's valid but you don't look creepy ." Brinika is threading a needle here. On the one hand, Khannie is justified in not liking being a fox-Pokemon. On the other, she doesn't look creepy and she needs to be reminded...

[The Streets] On Ilpholin's signal, the elves strike. They attack any demons in the streets without warning, staying on the move and using any available cover to keep their targets uncertain as to just how many of them there are. They will focus on targets that seem to offer the most opportunity fo...

[A Mouseterious Occurence] "I really do hope so." Wenomir sighs as he settles in to wait for the village healer to arrive. [A Very Vigil Thanksmas] Wenomir proceeds to invite everyone to the dining room, where the dinner is waiting. Like he said, he prepared borscht with dumplings and pie...

[Wenomir - A meeting]

Wenomir braces himself and shakes the man's hand. With luck, this conversation will be merely boring.

"The pleasure is mine. I hope you're enjoying the party," he says with a well-practiced slight smile.

[Intersection Precinct]

"This is Lia. I met her while investigatin' Sandels and Hoshiki. We talked to both of 'em." Michalson waves his hand in Lia's general direction. "Seems we both stepped into a long story."

[Fayyaad's Place]

Fayyaad is at home, sitting at his kitchen table and looking uncharacteristically downcast and uncertain. He's looking at the door, obviously expecting someone.

[Finding GLoG] Reelshka's ears dip as she listens. That's... somewhat concerning. "Why did the dragon want it? And are you certain you're free of any possession? We can check for that if you want." [Demons and Demigods] "Right, let me just talk to someone here about Janos and Bertin....

[Arkham Street Manor ==> Intersection Precinct]

Michalson will lead Lia to the precinct where he's stationed, and then to his office, after registering her as a visitor.

"Bunny? You 'ere?" he calls out to his ward.

"I find that hard to believe." Askeladd sees what's happening here. Krayger is downplaying his accomplishment. Perhaps he needs a push in the right direction. "I think you are proud of this, and you're right to be. I may not know you well, but... I am here and in a position to share ...

[The Academy] "Not yet. But the rhetoric he's using..." Wenomir sighs. "Taking back what is theirs, cleansing through blood and fire, preparing for a great war. He's building up to something ." [In Search of Distraction] "Small world indeed. If you want to come by with Anas...

[Well Training] "The kind of research we do is dangerous. I need to be able to defend myself." Thariza doesn't mention that Ambrosia angered an ancient fey, but she's sure her friend remembers. "Besides, it'd be a waste to let them atrophy." That's not a word she'd have known be...

[Finding GLoG] "If any ghost slips out, I'll spot it." Reelshka isn't actually sure if her sight applies to ghosts but she's relatively certain no ghosts will turn up and maybe this will put the topic to rest. "What relic do you mean?" Jazzari will keep working as this goes on, ...

[Arkham Street Manor] Michalson sighs, a sound coming straight from the bottom of his heart. A sigh of a tired man. "That's a succinct summary of this entire addle-cove barkle story. But no, I don't reckon it'd be any trouble if you've met her. Maybe you can help me set the story straight. Mig...

[Demons and Demigods] Bertin proceeds to squirm and wriggle, like babies tend to. Sophie smiles and lets him be, since he's safe with Sekhmet. "We can try the fire, if you're willing. I can see myself using it more often than shapeshifting. Of course, we'd need to try it somewhere safe, if we ...

[Meeting Place] Silent Feathers steps forward, spreading his wings. He's wearing a toga similar to the one he met Sekhmet in. "Welcome, friends. My name is Silent Feathers Drifting and I am an ally to your lady, as she said. I am in need of an item to help defend me against someone who can com...

[Demons and Demigods] Bertin tries to grab onto Sekhmet's hands and arms with his fingers. Of course, being an infant, he's quite clumsy about it. "Not any power." Sophie considers it as she watches her son. "I don't entirely understand it, but I think we can learn powers that partic...

[Groundtown]

"Can you hear it?"

"Yeah. Rocks moving. I don't like it."

"Can't do anything about it, though We need to go in and be careful."

The goblins are ready to head in, Kuvesh taking the lead with his heavy shield.

Askeladd raises his eyebrows and smiles.

"Truly? That is excellent news. They call for a celebration, I'd say. I'm glad to see you appreciated."

[Riverside Moonwell==> ???] Hiep leaves Nhay behind on a parking lot, seemingly unconcerned about how she'll get him back. Then she leans against Anika's side, tapping her foot to the rhythm as well. [Hunting Lodge] When the morning comes, Silent Feathers Drifting will be ready to go with Sekhmet t...
