The Nexus

[Ecbatana] "...Hmph." Aikobaz huffs, the sound of her trying very hard not to judge them for that but disapproving strongly anyway. "...All right, then. Take me to one of those littler shrines. And if you can, try to make it look organic. Like we were on our way to the market or some...

[Charity Dinner] ...Whoa boy. "You see what I mean about needing sleep?" Braon mutters, again rubbing at the space between her horns. "I really didn't even mean anything by that, it's just late and, you know, normally polite to share stuff if you can. Obviously I'm not really thinkin...

[Aiko's Bad Day] "Yeah! He's got everything under control!" Koko echoes, shuffling around such that Asami is between her and the golem-magician duo. "Besides, we all know you're just going to try to shove me back in with Aiai and Babaz! That's a horrible thing to do! Leave me alone, ...

Skybase "Oh, my girlfriend gave it to me. Our families are a bit old-fashioned so I think she thought it would go a silk hat. Which it would." Henry pantomimes tipping a top hat. "I definitely don't mind silk. My sister's a spider. But if possible I think I'd like at least one practi...

[Outten Inn] "Explain what exactly?" Ava prods as she didn't like the tone that was said in. "Since cops from around here have to do a lot of formal training, It's just that I'm not from around here originally and I did get some education. I was home schooled a lot and to advance thr...

[For Whom The Bell Gnolls] "Except last time we tried that, I ended up yeeting Octavia directly into the gnoll we were trying to fight and she kinda got a little bit absolutely trashed as a direct result of that, and it's maybe not a great idea to risk that when half the plan relies on her bei...

[Khafir's Lab] "...None of that is accurate or factual." Khafir explains, trailing her fingers along the edge of the nearest table. "There is more to life than reproduction, and being denied reproduction is far from torturous. Both of these things, beyond being intuitively obvious, h...

[An Upper Room] "Yeah, yeah, I've heard." The shadow holds out her hand, fingers splayed expectantly. "The amulet, s'il vous plait, merci beaucoup. " She shuffles in place, her shoulders already starting to sag from the apparently exhausting task of simply staying upright. "...

[Skybase] "...That actually is incredibly helpful, since it does the job of engineering the needed materials for me. All I'd need to do is get it under a nanoscope and see what I can do about replicating it... provided you don't mind essentially having every outfit be silk pajamas." Vlad ...

[Ecbatana] Aiko lets out a little sigh as she turns to keave the shrine, though she lags back a little bit and lets her accompanying maid lead the way. "That went well, all things considered." Aiko manages to make it almost not sound snarky. "How do you guys stand having that as your...

[Outten Inn] Well, that was a lot of combined expertise. She hadn't even known there were schools for this. The 'secret agents' she had come across had all been pretty ordinary people who happened to come across a lot of information in their day-to-day routine, which was why they had been recruited...

[Aiko's Bad Day] Library " Uun ..." Koko ponders this for a moment, settling in a little more, her forearms resting on his shoulders and hands folding together just in front of his neck. There's an almost musical lilt to her humming as she thinks, her tail flicking back and forth gently b...

[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...
