The Nexus

[Familiar Feathered Faces] Fayyaad's smile only widens as she barely holds back a laugh. Valerie isn't beating around the bush anymore, is she? "Valerie has the right idea. As for the phone, it's not a problem, but I'd encourage you to get one sooner or later. You can always come back to updat...

[For Whom the Bell Gnolls] The biters are, of course, dispatched easily. They aren't much of a threat on their own. Though where the teeth drew blood her leg throbs with heat, every heartbeat like the steady pounding of a drum in her ears. Kill and eat. KILL AND EAT. KILL AND EAT. She swats the rai...

[Bird Watching] Dulcinea has to clamp down on a laugh, causing her to prod Reilana and give her a playful, chiding look. Doesn't she know that could've given their position away? She turns to her quarry and quietly inches her chair forward, getting into position. The plastic lid for her soda comes ...

[Flats and Cats] Blanche blinks as she watches Elizabeth seem to suddenly deflate over the course of a single message, and her eyes drop to her younger sister's rig. Liz is too quick for her to catch the actual body of the message - but she does catch the sender's name, specifically the "Landl...

[For Whom the Bell Gnolls] Ginger will definitely be able to see a glint of malevolent animal cunning in the eyes of her foe. Quite different from the mindless hunger of the varmints. The gnoll is smart enough to be dangerous for sure, but this is no sapient enemy. Just an unusually intelligent, co...

[Flats and Cats] "Heh, yeah, no kidding." The catgirl smiles briefly, but notes Liz's evasion quickly. Something's bothering her, that's for sure. But Liz isn't going to just open up to her if she asks about it if she hasn't already, especially when the girl barely knows her. Hmm, how do ...

[Familiar Feathered Faces] Fayyaad wonders if it's his duty to help Kes fill out the paperwork quickly so she can get back to her close and friendly conversation with Valerie. It most likely is. "Well, there's really not that much to it. It needs your full name and contact information. It's im...

[Flats and Cats] "Was just taking a walk, really. It's been pretty stressful up at VIGIL and I needed a change of scenery." Blanche shrugs, not quite catching the suspicion in Liz's tone and seeming... mostly genuine. Their father's talents for lying are clearly not genetic. She frowns an...

Overly Adventurous Atreyu chuckles. "Had it covered, huh, little Missy? Sure ya did. I-" He blinks and growls, taking a half step back as the shadow senses a gap in the light, jabbing at him, only to be repelled once more as he refocuses the light from his claws to force it back. "Gr...

[Flats and Cats] Considering their differing professions, it probably isn't a shock that Blanche is a bit quicker on the uptake than Liz. She catches her motion around the corner and quickly moves to evade, though it isn't enough to avoid a rough brushing of shoulders. Liz's appearance surprises he...

[For Whom the Bell Gnolls] While the rapidly thinning swarm is busy attacking Ginger the monster over there finishes its terrible transformation in a spray of skin and melted insides. What stands in the monster's place is a gnoll, or at least something like one. A vaguely humanoid hyena-like creatu...

[Birds and Babs- Treasure Hunt] "You and your cousins did a great job! I woulda loved to have something like this to do when I was younger," Kestrel says. "And yeah, there was a little bit of fuss about it, I think I was quite lucky to keep him." She smiles at the cub affectiona...

[For Whom the Bell Gnolls] Let's be real here. When it comes to life and death situations like these people often say something that's kind of dumb. Usually no one focuses on it too much. Regardless! Ginger will probably realize something pretty quickly. These creatures have little in the way of co...

[Familiar Feathered Faces] Kestrel finds herself smiling back at Fayyaad. Hard not to. She turns back to Valerie as she speaks, smiling at her too. "Uhh, yeah, that sounds good. I'd appreciate that." The birdgirl was not particularly familiar with the bureaucracy of filling out forms and ...

[Flats and Cats] Things in a tiny shitty corner of Inside have also been stressful recently. Not because of any horrible growing threats to the Nexus, nor any compounding pressures of doing life-risking work such as the kind expected with VIGIL. Well, okay, that's also there- she's still rather anx...

[For Whom the Bell Gnolls] "We're definitely not going anywhere, they've almost gnawed through the front door already," the woman up on the second story calls back. Sure enough, the front door is marred with tooth marks from the little monsters biting at it. They can smell meat inside but...

[Birds and Babs- Treasure Hunt] "Hiya! Yup, that's me!" Kestrel nodded, seeing no need to introduce herself by name as the woblins do so for her. "And yea! He's a goblin-raised wolf, too! Helped some folks out in finding his lost sibling, and before we knew it the little fella had bo...

[For Whom the Bell Gnolls][/b] As Ginger crests the hill she'll find- Well. It might be a relief. Or not. Depending on how much she was dreading the idea meeting a raiding band of gnolls out for blood. No, she doesn't discover a wild troop of gnolls burning and pillaging. But she does find a homest...

Overly Adventurous "I reckon we oughta stop meetin' like this, little Missy." Comes a voice from above, as bright orange wolf-like eyes peer down at Kestrel from the trees. "Yer makin' a bit of a habit gettin' in over yer head, aren'tcha?" Atreyu asks with a chuckle as he hops d...

[Bird Watching] The scene of a monster attack on a village begins to play out. A great and terrible beast rampages through houses, and the young hero struggles to keep his grip on the creature's furry hide and reach for his knife. He clambers to its head and the camera follows the knife as he raise...

[Familiar Feathered Faces] Much like with Valerie, a faint blush rises to Kestrel's face, a touch more visible on hers than on Val's. She hadn't even realized she had been flirting really. That being said, she wasn't so blind to what had been happening that she wasn't at least a little bit self-con...

[Around the World in Eighty Posts] A small blush warms Sylvia's face at Reinholdt's comment, and she fidgets ever just a little bit more nervously with her pencil. "N-now you're j-just being silly." She mumbles, but the blush shows she appreciates it nonetheless. The lapin continues to id...

[For Whom the Bell Gnolls] It was supposed to be a nice walk. Ginger was settling in, poking her nose around the Nexus a little. She was still armoured- the Kholo had no idea what sort of things were out there after all. And besides, old habits die hard. The walk, however, was rapidly becoming Not ...

[Birds and Babs- Treasure Hunt] As the two woblins lead the way to the kitchens, they'll find them mostly empty. No meal is currently being prepared. They stop in front of the door uncertainly. "Should we go in?" "Usually the treasure is outside." They conclude that they need to...

Overly Adventurous The wolf mouse's movements even seem to have slowed a little bit. It's going to have a harder time dodging another arrow, however fierce it may be trying to make itself! ... The shadow also senses its opportunity and goes for it, stretching itself further to cover the distance be...

Gnoll And Unicorn "What I wouldn't give to reach such a point with my own Goddess." Ginger states with a sigh. "Don't know how you would even offer a Goddess hospitality, but I wish you luck with that." Does an azata need a nice bed set up for her still? Do you cook her a nice d...

Overly Adventurous The wolf-sized mouse, let's just call it a wolf mouse for now, is not particularly willing to let go of Kestrel's leg, initially resisting the knee and holding on. The second she reaches for the knife, however, it's forced to let go, trying to angle its head out of the way to avo...

Gnoll and Unicorn Jace nods. ”So this is kind of obscure but you know how Asmodeus trapped Baphomet in a maze in Hell but he ripped it free from that plane and claimed it as his own demon realm? Eu was charged with the power of an azata so she cast down the demon lord of Enigma and claimed the plac...

[Familiar Feathered Faces] The birdgirl just nods along as Valerie chats to her, by now completely forgetting that she had come here for a reason. "I'll keep that in mind for teaching her if it ever comes up, no worries." Her pen lay abandoned upon the sign-up papers. "Oh no, it's fi...

[Birds and Babs- Treasure Hunt] "Yeah! He's still a cub! When we visited our uncle, we saw grown-up wolves." "They were big and fierce!" The kids are distracted from discussing wolves by Kes giving them a hint. "Um. Flowers? Then it'd just look like another flower." &q...
