The Nexus

[MERC Offices] "You don't know?" Fettina asks, almost accusing, but she quickly lets that go. She only shakes her head, her braids swaying. "There's no point. It's over." She gulps a few shuddering breaths of air and her lips tick up in a painful smile. "We got what we want...

[MERC Offices] That comment makes Dena stop spinning and smirk widely though she does hold up her finger in a 'hush' motion even if she's still smiling. "Ears like a fox that one." She remarks after waiting a few more seconds. "But that's how car-drivers dress back in Tina-world, eh?...

[MERC Offices] There's a moment of silence. "...Tina? Come on in." Dena is slowly spinning around in her office chair as Tina enters. Not exactly the way she acted when clients were around but Tina was not that. "Why we accepted the jobs of cops is beyond me. Ancestors, I hate everyt...

[MERC Offices]

Tina arches an eyebrow back, then realizing how silly that feels, wiggles it a little on her face when the woman turns to leave. Take that!

Tina will hop up and knock. It's a feverish little bapbapbap that Dena might recognize.

[Summer Water Balloon Party] Woblins and Dryadeer Malachi starts to laugh when another balloon bursts - but it's interrupted as Kissa begins crying. He stops right away. He's a very compassionate boy, particularly when it comes to his twin sister, and he will toddle over as swiftly as he can manage...

[MERC Offices] Tina would know where Dena's office is. Though she is told that the gorgon is in an important meeting right now so she better wait outside. The question is, does Tina feel like she has the patience/time to wait outside considering what's going on? [MERC Offices] Tina will wait. She's...

Fettina will touch down here in a flash of glitz and chrome. She closes her wings behind her carefully and looks around, never having been at the MERC detachment for Riverside before. Then she heads inside to look for Dena.

[Hog Heaven] "I wouldn't say college . I was tutored. Never even been set my foot inside a school." Dena admits. Then she waves dismissively. "But back in those days people thought I acted like a dude. Though for completely different reasons." Dena points at Tsumi. "Since y...

[Flying --> Crimps] "I know of it. I'll try," Fettina says, sticking out her lip and setting her jaw. She's... she's not totally unfamiliar with carnage. She's seen some pretty gnarly shit, back home and in the Nexus both. Yet that doesn't make any of this any easier to look at. She flaps...

[Hot Spring Aftermath] Adir gets up and faces his wife directly. He puts his hands on her shoulders, briefly, delicately. "Alright, alright. I guess, just... use as much discretion as you can, but don't feel like you have to lie to your friend. It's okay." He squeezes her and offers a rea...

[Summer Water Balloon Party] Woblins and Dryadeer Malachi manages to catch the bloated balloon underhand, shoving out both of his arms, and he still nearly loses it. He wobbles, giggling, and straightens before tossing it end-over-end at Balthuk. At least it's not a totally sloppy throw. ...He also...

[Flying] "The angels believed them these people to be 'demons' as they had been told this by the nymph. A willing error I theorize. As for the elves and their leader-" The pigeon musters what seems to be a shrug. "-I can only speculate. Probably the same reason why people kill one an...

Not really recognizing if there's an order, rhyme or reason to anything, Malachi waves his arms at at the rearmed Maltrika. "Here! You can try and get me back!" He looks very stern and serious.

[Hot Spring Aftermath] "Yeah, well, it's definitely be weird for Calanthe if you tell her, informally or otherwise, Adir gives Sakura a look of bland, patient dad-ly reproof that he usually reserves for the kids. "Maybe we should reconsider not relating it at all..." "And yeah, ...

[Flying] "No, but I know who did." The pigeon claims as it tilts its head to the other side. The voice is hard to place. Neither masculine nor feminine. Neither deep nor high-pitched. Clear without any recognizable accent. "There two groups that came here. One consisting of alvar, or...

[Flying] Fettina is crouched low with her wings spread against the rooftop. The sound of them is like a sword rasping in its scabbard. She flinches when the black bird begins to speak... but their weird behavior was starting to give her a 'further impending weirdness' sort of vibe. Weirdness in the...

[Hog Heaven] "Since when did you become an expert on what I can and cannot do while boozed up, huh?" Dena questions. "But, it's not like I mind the 'butch' things. Since guess what? I'm into swords, vehicles and engineering which wasn't exactly the most girly things either last time ...

[Hot Spring Aftermath] "Oh, God, I hadn't even thought about the kids ," Adir says, doinking his forehead with the heel of one hand. He closes his eyes for a minute... then cracks one to look at Sakura without much sympathy and a lot of skepticism. Honestly in the grand scheme of things h...

[Summer Water Balloon Party!] Woblins and Dryadeer "Augh!" Malachi has to dip his body and hold out his hands to catch the big balloon, just barely keeping the wobbling thing from spilling onto the ground. He hefts it up, getting a good grip on it, then puts it over his head... and hucks ...

[Hot Spring Aftermath] "I think it'll be best to go for casual. Cessie's a smart cookie. And, uh, pretty observant. She's bound to figure things out if we come up with some elaborate story or excuse. Hell, she might figger it anyway," Adir says. That notion worries him more than their pat...

Malachi throws up his little fists and puffs up his cheeks to show just how ready he is. And... that's it. He's so ready.

[Flying] Tina will no doubt be a witness to the aftermath of the slaughter and destruction which the invaders have wrought. Yet she will also see that above it all flies several flocks of seemingly ordinary birds. They don't seem to be involved in the attack itself so are they carrion birds then? W...

"Fiiine," Malachi groans, though it's rather low and raspy and there's not much real complaint in it. But naturally, he wants to spice up the catch game. Like setting conditions! "First one to make it break loses!"

[Theories of Necromantic Adhesion] "Indeed! Whatever works. I think that magic, if you call it so, can work any number of ways. I think it can be based on facts and rules to make it easier for we mortals to process... and I think it can work without any sense to it at all. Similar, yet not the...

[Hog Heaven] Dena sits down at the closest chair with her hands resting on her thighs. "If I were that drunk, I wouldn't be following strangers into their rooms." She argues as she looks around in the room. Making notes of everything. " Wow ... you're a huge lesbian, aren't you?"...

Malachi beams. Mrs. Reelshka was so nice! Though his ideas on what to do with them are much simpler. "We could do a fight," he suggests.

[Theories of Necromantic Adhesion] Pancake twitches a bit at the touch, but then settles comfortably. " I'm kind of trying to keep on the down low right now, but a ride most of the way back would be pretty good actually. " Reilana accepts. She's beat , so skipping the walk sounds like a l...

[Hot Spring Aftermath] Sakura's face continues to burn. She should probably say something, even if she feels awkward. " I guess we can't just pretend to have things go back to how they were before, but I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing. " She looks hopefully at Calanthe, hoping...

[Flying] Fettina, the angel cast in chrome, comes soaring back over the district. She's heard about the attack and hopes to help. To anyone with better-than-average eyesight or a set of binocs, she might look worried. She's throwing her head this way and that as she looks for the most severe signs ...

[Reporting]

"Alright. Thanks, uh, boss. And just gimme a ring if you need anything," she says. The angel will head back out and mostly fly the rest of the way to the door. She's got a longer one back. Best to waste no time.
