The Nexus

[Birb Babysitting] " Huh. " Eshe replies without much apparently concern. " Yeah! Our moms' boss has bunches of wolves. I think he said other goblins like him also raise wolves. They ride them! I wish I could do that, but if you're not a goblin you're too big. " She laments in t...

[Feline Family Friction] "Neither have I. This is... not exactly how I planned a first meeting would go." It was an awkward first encounter for the both of them. Blanche, as much as she hated to admit it, was right though. She should get working. And so she did. Say what you will about th...

[Birb Babysitting] Kes gets her own shovel and pail once she agrees to come along. " Great! I'll lead the way. " Orlane declares, and she starts to do just that. Eshe giggles at Silver's remark. " I can't help it! He's such a good boy. " She accompanies the remark with a scratch...

[Feline Family Friction] Blanche tilts her head. "...Yeah, he's my-" And then everything clicks. Bright bubblegum-pink eyes, just like hers. Feline features, just like hers. Her whole face turns pale and she runs a hand through her hair. "Oh gods. You're my half-sister, aren't you?&q...

[Youthful Indiscretions] " No. " Annie mutters, then she disappears back inside the room. " Well looks like we're in the clear. " Eliseo grins. " Good work, team. Now let's see if we can get her through the window. " The boy slips inside first with practiced ease. [You...

"Of course~!" Sally beams back, just *watching* Roxanne relax a bit. She loved that. Just . . .letting people unwind. To *watch* the stress leave them. It was the *best* part of all of this. "I'll get you her business card! I know she'd be happy to help install it wherever for friend...

[Around the World in Eighty Posts] "U-Um." That sounds like a high-stakes bet. Especially as Sylvia knew nothing about aliens, or spaceships. "M-maybe it was l-like... medicine of s-some kind." Although what kind of medicine could bust it's way out of a crate, she didn't know. T...

[Youthful Indiscretions]

... Huh. That seemed to have worked? Atsede blinked, a little confused at Annie's reaction and seeming sudden change in tune. Weird. Well, whatever. "Well... good. So we won't have any problems then, will we?"

[Birb Babysitting] " It's just a little ways away from the beach. " Orlane explains. She heads over to the big toy bin and produces a couple pails and hand shovels. " Wanna come with us to get it? " She suggests with an encouraging smile. Then she gives Eshe one of the pails. Th...

[Around the World in Eighty Posts] Sylvia sighs in relief as nothing terrible leaps out at Reinholdt. Yeah, yeah, he was probably right. If he flushed everything out, how could anything be left? Still, Sylvia kept closer now, though she was still doing everything in her power to look anywhere but a...

[Feline Family Friction] "Hm? Er, Turath. Terenti-Turath, technically," Blanche answers a little absentmindedly, still staring at the screen in front of them. Only after a moment does she turn back to Elizabeth and blink quizzically. "Wait, why?" [Feline Family Friction] Terenti...

[Youthful Indiscretions] It was Atsede's first instinct to lie to Annie, but already there was a hurdle. The kid knew a lot more than she had expected. She was at a bit of a loss here. She had a lot of practice lying to adults, but not to small children. Regardless, it seemed time for a drastic cha...

[Youthful Indiscretions] Oh wow. Strawberry really had had too much huh. Atsede's angelic blessing did mean she always carried a flowery scent with her, but, best to just ignore that. Unpack it later. And ow. Since when did she have nails like that!? Oh shit. Before Atsede knew what was happening A...

[Feline Family Friction] Blanche's ears turn low and flat as she stares back into Liz's eyes, her jaw set for a few moments. There's conflict, defiance, a crack in the stony edge to her. Finally, she turns back to the computer screen, something different creeping into her gaze. Her voice is lower a...

[Youthful Indiscretions] "Yuuuup." Atsede confirms to Ana with a grin. She watches Eliseo climb the fire escape, giving him a thumbs up in return. Damn, he was pretty practiced at this. "Y'know, Strawberry, when we joked about sweeping you off your feet, I didn't expect for it to hap...

[Youthful Indiscretions] Damn, so no walking through the front door. Ah well. Window it is. "Yeah, yeah. It was late, you didn't wanna wake anyone, sorry for worrying them- trust me, they'll buy it." Atsede has had practice with this sorta thing. "I got this, yeah, no worries. I can ...

[Youthful Indiscretions] The unflappable Changeling does for once wither ever so slightly out of awkwardness as she catches Eliseo's glance. Should she have said nothing!? Well- Ana seemed a little better now, but oh Gods. Ahem. Fortunately things seem to be moving on. "Yeah, c'mon you goober....

[Around the World in Eighty Posts] Sylvia, in all her worried paranoia, is looking around constantly, and so her eyes do indeed find the open crate. All of a sudden, she found herself sticking a lot closer to her companion, despite how awkward it made her feel what with their current getups. Reinho...

[Feline Family Friction] Her own focus on the screen in front of them, Blanche doesn't expect Liz's response at all. It startles her. "I'm sorry?" She turns to stare at Liz incredulously - though the girl might catch a brief flicker of hurt. "What, you don't think I didn't try to sav...

[Youthful Indiscretions] Atsede continues to snicker and laugh as Ana demonstrates how obviously not fine she is while insisting otherwise, but those die away awkwardly the moment the foxes mood swings. "Uh." She backs away, trying to open her next can of beer as quietly and subtly as one...

[Birb Babysitting] Orlane giggles. " Not a huge one! Just one to play in with our toys. " She holds her hand at about the height of her own mid-thigh. " We're gonna have four walls and some towers on the corners. " She declares. " But we gotta go get the clay first. " ...

[Youthful Indiscretions] Of all the outcomes, Atsede had expected Eliseo's boyfriend instincts to come into play, and for him to side with Ana over her. She did basically cheat in this contest, after all. But it seems she had underestimated just how powerful his need to tease her girlfriend was- th...

[Birb Babysitting] Eshe giggles, not at all put off by the wolf drool. This only encourages her! Yeees, pet the doggo! " Oh yeah, we're building a castle with them. We a spot with some clay too! " Orlane explains, her excitement for this project shining through. " Come on, Eshe, pick...

[Youthful Indiscretions] Atsede promptly snorts with laughter as she watches her friend sway and stumble in her indignation. "Oh my Gods Strawberry, look at you! You're such a lightweight! Three drinks and you can barely stand!" The changeling was almost howling with laughter, completely ...

[Feline Family Friction] It's not too hard for Blanche to pick up on the tremble in Elizabeth's hands and she frowns with concern, briefly thinking to rest a hand upon the younger woman's shoulder before remembering that the hand she'd do so with is currently chained to her. Probably for the best -...

[Around the World in Eighty Posts] Ten years did seem like a long enough time that it seemed unlikely anything nasty would still be lurking around. That was reassuring, at least. Didn't stop her from anxiously peering into every dark corner though. She does wonder what is in the weird boxes, but on...

"O-oh." Sally blinks a few times. You know that makes sense,. With the chicken. And all. "Y-yeah of course! Please take a seat, rest your leggies, and I'll be right out with your stuff!" Sally keeps on workin', tossing the little pizza into the wood fired stove to let it get nic...

[Youthful Indiscretions] "Parents are cool. And you call yourself a rebel," Atsede simply repeated in disbelief. Sheesh. She was gonna have to fix this girl sometime. Still, she had more pressing matters. Drinks! If the setup had been a little fairer, it could have been an even match. Who...

[ Youthful Indiscretions] Atsede gave Eliseo a look of disappointment as he tried to intervene. "You're no fun! Don't worry about it, it'll be fiiiiine." Speaking of no fun, did, she really just hear Ana say that? "C'mon, listen to yourself. Parents are cool!?" The changeling sho...

[Youthful Indiscretions] "I think we have." Atsede remarks in response to Eliseo. She had to admit, she hadn't expected that from Ana. Although the unwise nature of that decision was already starting to show, because that sure was a tipsy giggle if she had ever heard one. And a mischievou...
