The Nexus

[Playing Catch-Up] "...I see." Jubilee lowers her hands around the candle, cradling it between her fingers. "...Suppose for a moment you wanted a better handle on things. A more solid plan than 'whatever happens, happens'. And, while we're supposing, suppose you would happen to meet ...

[Playing Catch-Up] "Hmp." Jubilee lets out an annoyed chuff, irritated by the fact that Konstanze was apparenly one of those people. They're just the worst, ruining perfectly good music by playing it ad nauseum . But, hey, nothing to really do about it. "...Unrelated." Jubilee b...

[Butterfly Bay] "Never stopped being one. Just stopped having trainees." Kyrie smirks, giving Codebreaker a little nod. "It is not a state of being one really leaves. As my niece is quick to remind me." Codebreaker might recall the number of times he'd walked in on the two of th...

[Playing Catch-Up] Jubilee shrugs. "More or less. I was only a little girl myself when I heard it, and I missed quite a fair amount." She pulls her finger out of the candle and takes a swig of milk, wincing visibly at the taste. "My sister was the really big fan, though. Once, when s...

[Dena's Office] "I was fooled by a simple trick and got hurt." Septimus replies. "Clearly, I need more practice before I am ready to work as a soldier. If you do not wish to hire me, I understand entirely." Apparently, the corresponding injury on his sparring partner means absol...

[Playing Catch-Up] True to her word (well, her implied word), Jubilee does indeed pay for it, handing the server a fistful of silvery white coins with a stern, bearded face on one side... the price of the witbier, and a modest tip. "...I'm a fan of the ambience." The priestess groans, her...

[Pandemonium] The succubus sits in silence for a moment, still except for her massive tail swishing back and forth. She looks up at Sekhmet, seeming to suddenly be keenly aware of the size difference between them (if Sekhmet reverted to a smaller form) or her and everyone else (if she did not). &qu...

[Playing Catch-Up] Jubilee's eyebrows flare up in mild interest as Konstanze calls attention to the previously-unknown similarity beteeeen them, but she lets it pass without comment. "...Lady Jubilee. Priestess to the Onyx King." She replies with a dour drone, adjusting the candle in the ...

[Playing Catch-up] Across the room, a different Konstanze's curiosity is piqued as the strange woman enters the room. ...Er... that is, "Constanze". With a C. Although that is not the only aspect of uncanniness between them. Jubi Constanze's first thoughts on seeing the stranger are quiet...

[Eew Showers] "Jubi. Or Jubilee, as she calls herself now. And where we're from... I don't think you would have heard of it." Tahara replies dismissively. "My sister and I are from a town called Long Falls, in the far-off land of Kansas. It doesn't really matter anyway; neither of us...

[Pandemonium] "I... I feel lightheaded." Tricksy elaborates, holding her forehead in her hand. "...Wait... that isn't right. It's... I feel different , I know, but I don't..." She glances up at the demon queen. "My head feels like I... well, I'm sorry, I really can't think ...

Butterfly Bay "Kyrie. Do I really seem like the person who needs policing on sitting around for a whole day?" Codebreaker asks after he catches his breath. "Also trust me, I made a promise that my dieting would start once you got here. And uh. No offense but you don't need to be too ...

[Pandemonium] "In the short term, I can give her sedatives and restraints." The doctor offers, doing her best to hide her unease at the situation. "It won't stop Libidine from coming back, but it should limit her ability to make Tricksy hurt herself. If she has another seizure like t...

[Marketplace] The MERC business card seems like it might sway Dorota, for a moment... but then she shakes her head. "No, this has bad news written all over it. Please don't contact me again." [Marketplace] Rose gives Dorota a little sigh and a nod. "...All right. I suppose that's fai...

[Pandemonium] "'Former', she says. How naive." The succubus shivers and rubs her hands along her arms, shaking in her bed. "Mistress, please, I would never betray you, I-" "Hush, hush, dearie. You're doing wonderfully." Libidine's voice interrupts the succubus's, momen...

[Into the Looking Glass] Siana's appetizer looks to be a solid, papery lump of some sort, the like of which even she doesn't recognize at first. It just sits there, unassuming, on her tray, and doesn't appear to be anything bearing much description until she cuts into it experimentally, releasing a...

"Honey an' kumis should be easy to get, we're in a pub." Mrs. Bloodplunder gestures to the bar, where Zee is potentially already collecting honey and kumis. Or perhaps not, since if she's listening to the conversation she might disagree with the plan of tying drunk fairies to a saddle in ...

[Trollfinger Residence] "Well, obviously it's a great color." Arthfael replies, slightly indignantly. "To the point of being a key component in good luck charms back home. Knights going into battle would tie pink ribbons on under their armor. The catch is that it has to be a particul...

[Pandemonium] "Victory implies struggle." The succubus replies languidly. "Any moment now, she could come right back in and take me over again. My body, my mind, my soul ... they're not mine. They never were. And they're never going to be." She closes her eyes and buries her fac...

[Pandemonium] The succubus lowers her head into the pillow. "...Then you do not know her cruelty. Or you think I don't." She sighs, wearily. "That's what she does. What they all do. They let you struggle and squirm and think you have a chance, then squash you when you no longer amuse...

[Eew Showers] "Sounds like an elemental to me." Or rather, a ghost of a young girl that's possessed garbage, but the implications of that is even more gross than the garbage itself. Though Leah still shudders at the roaches that scurry around Tahara's hand, what kind of sister would kill ...

Butterfly Bay The moment the sword is out of Codebreaker's hands he falls onto his rear, panting. "Thanks, Kyrie. I guess I'll...see you Thursday?" he asks. It seems he is rather committed to this after all, despite his initial impressions. Of course perhaps the night is still young and K...

[Pandemonium] "Nobody can unseat Libidine." The succubus replies drearily, giving Sekhmet a look that implies skepticism with regards to her intelligence. "Or any other Devil. They're not like any of the other hellish nobles; they don't have bodies, souls, centers of being. There's n...

[Infirmary] ...That just isn't fair. Braon releases her sleeves and slowly lowers her arms, offering no further resistance to the blood draw. She turns herself so that she's halfway between Jazzari and Sakura, preemptively wincing at the prospect of the needle. She'll make faces all throughout the ...

[Into the Looking Glass] Siana keeps her cane in her hand as she urges Ana away from the door, not taking her eyes off of it for a second. The toothipede in the other room might have given her a more personal reason to be uneasy, but she's already proven to herself that she can beat it back if need...

[Pandemonium] The succubus slowly inclines her head to meet Sekhmet's gaze, before slowly lowering it again, the bellows next to the bed giving a little hiss as she takes a deep sigh. "Bit pointless not to answer if you ask." She mumbles, face half-buried in her pillow. "What do you ...

[Pandemonium] "...Oh my god." The thirteen-foot succubus looks up at Sekhmet again when she enters, before her dulled gaze returns to a spot on the wall, not even degining to greet her or her entourage. Perfidy, however, seems a little less inclined to let things sit in silence. "Tri...

[Butterfly Bay] Fortunately, Kyrie does stop not long thereafter. Codebreaker's slowly-declining reserves haven't escaped his notice, and while tiring him out is indeed part of the point, he doesn't want to reach a point where he can't function. "That will do for now." He says, dropping t...

"I do not have them on my person, but obtaining those materials should be trivial. I have a seeing stone in my foot locker." Aikobaz replies, steepling her fingers as she runs through the list of materials. "I do not have any honey in my 'room', and while I normally would have kumis a...

[Sparring Area] Septimus stares at the letters with an almost obsessive level of fascination, but when Violet inevitably stops projecting them ("Aw."), the elf retrieves his robe and puts it back on, tying the belt with a quick, practiced motion to bring himself back up to socially accept...
