The Nexus

Outdoor Movie Place Darko is in fine spirits today. Classes have been going great, his magic has been extremely docile, and the warmer weather has been a nice change. And now he's going to see a movie! And one in color, no less? How cool is that? Ditching the PREP uniform for his skeleton hoodie, D...

Cry Havoc Vyzan doesn't seem happy with this course of events. He runs a hand over his cropped white hair, breath hissing as he considers. At least Raheeda seems to be reasonable here... but Kothar is another matter. The angelephant stares at him, and Vyzan scowls for a moment. "Damn holy warr...

Not a Date Well the only other thing Bismuth might have perceived is the wolf just poofing into nothingness. Clearly, it needed both light and dark to survive- an extremophile it was not. Darko is being very brave about his injury. He watches with interest as she pulls out the bottle, which turns r...

A Bridge Too Far -there are many gods and goddesses and other creators of various types across the dimensions. for instance, my choir was created by Ba'al - says Octavia to Ardi. She understands where he's coming from. When she first learned about other gods from other worlds, it had as confusing a...

Aiko's Bell Day Darko smiles back, glad to see that she's starting to feel a little better at least. Not the first time he's cheered someone up with a magic trick, and it likely won't be the last. "I don't think any of us really know what's going on- but only you know how you feel, and that's ...

For Whom the Bell Gnolls Octavia salutes stiffly as Khannie and Ginger head off for the rift. She's well aware that they're taking on the biggest risk in this plan, and their mortal bravery would warm her heart, if she had one. As is, she simply wishes them kept free from death and dismemberment. T...

Paternity Problems Accompanied by Atya Xilo? Weeeeell... not quite. Said mayoral candidate had left her Chateau early that morning, with the express purpose of finding an untraceable way to get to Braon, due to the rather high number of bitter enemies she's acquired. Better safe than sorry, and Aty...

Xar'cha Estate - Reinforcements Nathair listens to Svartha and Glizz bicker with amusement- and a little disappointment. Children of the oil should be united, not squabbling like birds. And he doesn't particularly care for this idea of some higher authority on a distant plane. The only true authori...

Not a Date As the chemlite disappears, the room is cast into almost complete darkness. And therefor, what happens next is hard to perceive- but it's something like this. Darko lets out a pained yelp. Then Bismuth bowls headlong into what can only be the wolf. It feels cold and dry and smooth, like ...

A Bridge Too Far -not everyone! i don't have a mother, just a dad- says Octavia cheerfully. She's been learning the details of familial relationships, but there's still some aspects that escape her. As they set off, Octavia buzzes along, feeling more confident in being away from her body now that t...

Aiko's Bell Day Koko's glow is a little alarming to Darko- for a moment he has a sudden horrible fear that Eddie was right and she really is about to explode. But luckily that doesn't seem to be the case. God, if he was responsible for someone's death he'd never recover. Darko returns the hug, awkw...

Xar'cha Estate - Reinforcements Ah, Svartha. Nathair nods a greeting. He has mixed feelings about her- there's a part of him that feels beholden to her for being the one to actually compleat him, but at the same time he views her almost as a rival. Still, she's definitely preferable to this new... ...

Cry Havoc Vyzan blinks sightlessly as the angelephant looks between Raheeda and the two warriors. The elf shivers, unsure whether to heed her warning or not. The lizard guy, at least, doesn't seem pleased by his family. Which is just confusing to him- what's wrong with undead? "If- if you did ...

Aiko's Bad Day Library Darko certainly agrees that whoever's responsible for his magic deserves a wallop. Unfortunately, he has no idea who that is. As for the rest of Eddie's arguments, they do make sense... but Darko's Narrative knowledge tells him that it's, well, just not that deep. If there is...

Not a Date Being able to completely flatten yourself is certainly a useful skill. For both evading shadow lycanthropes and fitting under doorways. The beast, blinded by the hot foam, doesn't seem to notice where Bismuth has gone, continuing to claw madly at the place she just left. But when it's sh...

A Bridge too Far -you're an angel???- Somehow Octavia's synthesized voice is able to convey multiple question marks with ease. -that's so cool! i've never met an angel who's anything like you!- By which she means that Lapis at least seems to be flesh and blood. None of the angels from Octavia's wor...

Aiko's Bad Day Library Darko pats Koko's head sympathetically. "Oh... my mom is also gone. I'm sorry about that." He's not used to comforting anyone, but Koko really seems to need it. But that's difficult with Eddie being an out of touch adult and Asami being, well... Asami. "Lives b...

Xar'cha Estate - Reinforcements If this Nathair had his golden eye, he'd undoubtedly notice Svartha hanging around, since he could simply see through the back of his head. But that Nathair is elsewhere, with the door guard being just one of many extensions of his will. Something between clones and ...

A Bridge too Far Octavia effortlessly flies up alongside Khannie, unaffected by the wind and low temperature. Temperature extremes aren't really something she's aware of. But she can certainly appreciate the architecture! In fact, she could float around and study this place all day. Not having a bo...

Not a Date The wolf snarls as it snaps at the air where Bismuth was just a moment ago. It crouches, but in the moment before it leaps her vial smashes over its face. The horrible scent of burning hair fills the room, and the creature gives vent to an unnervingly human scream, clawing at the stuff i...

Aiko's Bad Day Library Darko starts to confirm that yes, he does mean what he's saying, but he's barely started talking when Koko swoops him into a hug. That was not the reaction he was expecting- not that he's complaining. His cheeks turning pink, he attempts to look nonchalant and gallant, which ...

Cry Havoc The angelephant is partially robotic, partially organic. Which is lucky for Vyzan, otherwise he couldn't reanimate it. Although it might not be very healthy to do necromancy with holy warriors about. At Raheeda's warning, he shrinks back behind the towering zombie. "Wh... but... I ha...

Charity Dinner Atya leans her head onto Reinholdt's shoulder with a sigh, her tension fading as he holds her. "I'm going to hold you to that. My favorite place to be is in your arms," she says as they head for the door. Considering their respective driving skills, the journey might be haz...

Charity Dinner Atya smiles nervously at Braon's warning. "Hey, it's good to know you have security already. Makes my job easier," she jokes. Well, a half joke at least. It is a relief that Braon's family is so well protected. She gives the fiendling a wave as she departs. It's funny- rare...

Not a Date "The trouble is knowing which ideas are terrible before you try them, instead of after," says Darko with a grin. That's what always gets him. He nods, stepping back to watch as Bismuth spits out the light. It's a very helpful thing ability to have! One that in this circumstance...

Aiko's Bad Day Library Darko's eyes widen as Koko talks. He had been so distracted by the crowd before that he hadn't been able to pay much attention to what she was going through, but clearly the idea of fusing is incredibly distressing to her. It makes his heart twinge in sympathy, especially as ...

[Eastside Debates] Once the candidates are in place, Nadia takes her seat again, facing the two. The rifles through her papers as the hall falls silent again. Alright, it's time to begin. " Let's not waste any time. For the first question we'll start with the incumbent mayor, and then Atya can...

Not a Date Darko winces at the mention that things have been quite safe so far. Bismuth is right, of course. But the Theatre listens, and it's not a wise idea to jinx things. But he won't mention that, since he doesn't want her to feel bad. "Good thinking," Darko says, craning his neck ar...

For Whom the Bell Gnolls Octavia gives Khannie a thumbs up, quite pleased with this plan. Any doubts that the others might be experiencing aren't noticed, because she really hasn't gotten very good at reading facial expressions yet. Faces in general are a little weird to her. -excellent plan, khann...
