The Nexus

Parkside Cafe
Jade breathes a sigh of relief.
Then the knife is back to being a fox. "The rest?" Jade doesn't question the "sister" bit; they are fellow foxes after all.
"You're dying? Maybe there's something I can do? I can find a veterinarian at least?"

Cry Havoc "You alive?" Kothar is badly singed, but he'll live. He pushes himself back to his feet and prepares to meet the angelephant's challenge. Parkside Cafe "What?" Jade manages, staring at the knife for a moment. She's not in the business of revenge; she's a guardian, not ...

Parkside Cafe Oh come on! Jade holds the shield above her head to deflect the rain of spines and searches around. She needs a rock, a brick, a branch, any kind of random debris. Something she can throw. Sadly, the area seems barren of aerodynamic projectiles. "Fine. Fine!" She raises her ...

Parkside Cafe It's not targeting the injured fox anymore! Success! Oh wait. Fortunately, Jade has a shield. She deflects the spikes with the luminous barrier, then steps forward and slams the edge of the hardlight surface into the creature, aiming for its eyes (it seems to have plenty of those to h...

Parkside Cafe "Hey! Stop!" Jade isn't armed. She's not armored either. If that thing manages to spike her, she's in trouble. But letting an innocent fox get killed is not in her nature. She twists the dial of her watch and a shield of light springs forth from it. "Leave him alone!&qu...

Aikobaz's Very Bad Day "... Hi. Aiko..." Mary looks around, bewildered. "Someone's got to be pranking me. Two Aikos and both of them are being nice to me?" She scrutinizes any students who happen to be watching the exchange. "Am I on camera? Which of you is the real Aiko? O...

Green Goo Oh no! Mariblex tosses the crown aside and lashes out at the tendril with a lash of hellfire. That should be much more effective at cutting Rowan free. Of course it also seems like it might enrage the queen slime. Although it doesn't seem very smart, maybe it responds to injury with fear ...

Parkside Cafe
Nobody's calling the cops or anything? Inside is weirdly full of bystanders, isn't it?
Jade quickly sets her coffee down and runs out the door, circling around behind the restaurant. She pulls her phone out, intending to dial 911 as soon as she ascertains that there's an emergency.

Parkside Cafe Jade likes this place. They have chairs for people with tails, the breakfast is good and the coffee's not bad, and the view of the spooky forest outside contrasted with the homely, rustic architecture creates a cozy atmosphere. ... What is it with Inside's parks all being spooky fores...

Fox in Box
"Just lead the way," the foxgirl replies, glancing nervously at the window again. She doesn't like being reminded of the water just outside this pressurized container.

Green Goo "Okaaaaay then, how about we just..." Mariblex tries stretching up to grab the crown off the slime queen's head. It doesn't seem like the creature thinks, and the combination of them not being food and the actual food Rowan is throwing hopefully distracting it, they hopefully ca...

Aiko's Very Bad Day "Aiko, this is serious, I... WHAT THE HELL!?" Mary spots Aiko coming up the hallway towards them... And apparently trying to check whether every locker is locked. She wouldn't be the only protagonist to do that, but it's unusual for her. "Aiko, why are there two o...

Green Goo "Is there any way you could loan a fellow slime your crown?" Mariblex asks. They'd like to handle this diplomatically too, and they might have a better chance since they don't have bones or organs. They briefly wonder if the slime queen's crown is magic... Other than opening the...

A Succubus Problem The pain is intense. It seems to last forever... Or maybe moments. The smoke rising off Sophie and Trick forms into a wispy figure; a rough approximation of Sekhmet in her full succubus form. As it gets more defined, their altered features begin to recede and return to normal, an...

Green Goo
"Let's get going!" Mariblex prances down into the tunnels, pretty confident that they'll easily take down the slime queen and be able to move on.

Cry Havoc Kothar is grabbed and thrown. However, the angelephant might be surprised when he turns in midair and strikes at its wrist with his axe; his enhanced strength (he could also throw cars around if he wanted) might be enough to shear clean through, and regardless, the arcane and divine flame...

Skye's Apartment
Mary mentally rolls her eyes at the gracious acceptance of the insult.
She waits for Skye's response to Asami's question; she has no answer to the question.

Green Goo
"Where is the slime queen?" Mariblex asks again. These mold men are seeming pretty useless at this point.

Crash Site: Control Room Jade vaults into the control room and slides to a stop in front of Seveira. Dang, she's tall. Jade's jealous, standing at only 5'2". "Good luck with that, I'm on my own side. Hey Olympia, haven't seen you in a while! Who's your tall, angry friend?" Her eyes n...

Cry Havoc The attacking mutants will be met with a "STOP." A lizardman holding an axe and shield steps out in front of them. He sizes up the angelephant. "These people have my protection. You not harm them." Red and white fire blazes to life around his axe. "You are mockery...

Green Goo
"Where is the slime queen?" Mariblex questions, "We can prove we're greater than her." They killed the slime king, how hard could killing the slime queen be?

Aikobaz's Very Bad Day Hallway "If that's all you did, and it wore off, why are you a succubus now?" Mary questions. It's an important question. "Succubi have dream powers. Tell me about this dream." It might not be insignificant. Of course, Aiko's current state is hardly one th...

Skye's Apartment
"There's a difference between criticism and insults, Skye," Mary points out.
But then Asami insults them!
"Oh that one's not so bad. Have you been studying with Professor Threepwood? His insults work better in a fight," Mary suggests.

Aiko's Bad Day Hallway "Aiko, calm down, just rub some of the stuff on it and you'll be fine," Mary tries to gently grip Koko's goop-covered hand by the wrist and maneuver it over to the carton of baking soda. "Juibi, how much essence did she take?" Mary reiterates her question....

Skye's Apartment
"What!?" Mary exclaims, taken aback by Asami's question. Who the heck would ask to insult someone? Who the heck would say yes?
Hopefully that doesn't get mistaken as Skye's reaction.

Green Goo "We need that," Mariblex points out the crown. "What will it take for you to give it to us?" They're being straightforward and to the point here. They came here more or less under truce, it wouldn't be nice to eat the chief, even if it would cow the others inti giving ...

Skye's Apartment
"What? Why? I grew up homeless too." Mary whispers back. She's not sure what the deal is right now, Asami looks uncomfortable.

Green Goo "There it is!" Mariblex points out the crown. They were expecting having to fight the queen slime for it. "We need that," They say to their guide, pointing to the crown. It's shiny and on display at the center of the village; it seems likely they'll have to either figh...

Aikobaz's Very Bad Day "Juibi, how much did she take? She won't give me a straight answer and as much as I like her new attitude, it's kind of concerning how different she's acting." Not to mention the changed appearance. And then... "Aiko! Careful! Juibi's not safe to touch like tha...

Skye's Apartment
Mary is taken aback by the resistance of both Skye and Asami to her question. "I guess it's not important," she relents. Her expression on Skye's face shows that she really did think it was important, at least to her... Skye probably picks up on that regret.
