The Nexus

Chateau Xilo Simon follows hesitantly behind Rowan, peering over his shoulder as they go. Right now, he's technically larger than the doorkeeper, considering his long coils- but should this be some horrible trap, his tiny dragon form could be crushed in her palm like an egg. So a little trepidation...

Chateau Xilo "You know, that's not a bad guess?" says Simon, nodding thoughtfully and looping his tail over Rowan's shoulders to squeeze him back. Actually, he hopes it's something like that. If Atya got her wealth in a Robin Hood type way, he's feel a little better about the whole situat...

Outdoor Movie Place Darko glances down at Koko as she rubs against his shoulder and relaxes a little. At least his impulsivity didn't make her uncomfortable. Well, it's not like this is a date, and it's not like she actually likes him, but... whatever it is, it's nice to have her this close for thi...

Boy and Dog Lenny stares at Jon with a puzzled expression for a couple moments before his eyes suddenly widen. He looks over at Darko, who's stepping hesitantly forward at the dog's beckoning. Suddenly Lenny is on his feet, reaching out to grab Darko. The boy is too surprised to resist, but he give...

Outdoor Movie Place Darko smiles down at Koko as she puts her head on his shoulder, glad she's in a good mood. And she really is cute. Somehow he hadn't fully noticed that before. And with that realization comes a sudden rush of self consciousness. He's sitting, in dim lighting, with a very pretty ...

A Bridge Too Far -that makes sense! mortals seem very delicate from what i've seen, so it's best to be cautious- says Octavia understandingly. Really, everyone should know that angels are always good, so there's never any reason to be scared of them. But mortals are silly and strangely suspicious i...

Aiko's Bad Day Bloodplunder Residence Darko hides a smile as Koko gets knocked over by the goat. This animal is a menace! A cute, relatively harmless menace. He offers his hand to help the young succubus get back to her feet. "I don't think she's listening to us," he jokes, sticking his t...

Paternity Problems Atya is likewise relieved to hear that the children will likely not have any problems- at least problems caused by genetics. After all, their welfare is far more important than anything else in this situation. As long as the five of them are okay... Wait, five? At once? Did she m...

Outdoor Movie Place Darko is happy to let Koko move on if that's better for her, and he's not complaining about the proximity. But the trailer is a little distracting, purely because there's actually moving pictures with color. That's absolutely crazy. And it's so crisp! It's like looking through a...

Not a Date Darko's also had to do some pretty weird stuff for the Wizards. Nothing too horrible, just... very weird. The mission they're on now is a little weird if you think about it. But again, not weird enough to be too questionable. Just a little off. Just like these manikins! There's something...

Boy and Dog Lenny winces and shoves at Jon, trying to roll over. Then as consciousness returns to her, she reaches up to scratch his ears. "(Hello! Missed you, friend.)" With a groan, she sits up, rubbing her eyes blearily. Then, between blinks, she notices Darko and gives a lazy wave. &q...

Cry Havoc The bundle of roots is tossed to Vy. Unfortunately, being blind, he's not the best catcher, and they bounce off his shoulder and fall to the street. Wincing, he motions with his hand and the angelephant turns to look down. Apparently using its vision to spot them, he picks up the roots an...

Aiko's Bad Day Bloodplunder Residence "I'm sure she's very nice- despite her biting my journal," says Darko, pulling out the book and examining the damage critically. The cover is made to look like a plush rabbit, and there's a tear in one of the ears now, but some needle and thread shoul...

Boy and Dog Darko happily follows along behind Jon, kicking off his shoes as he goes to walk barefoot through the sand. This place is great! He wonders just how far away it is from PREP, in case he ever wants to come here without taking the Theatre. He hopes it's close- there's something about the ...

For Whom the Bell Gnolls Octavia gives an encouraging thumbs up as her lookalike prepares to follow her lead. She has faith that he'll be able to figure it out! And not fling her at the gnolls this time. And as Blanktavia will know, the body he's currently copying has two distinct parts to it- the ...

Outdoor Movie Place "The cooliest!" confirms Darko, grinning at her reaction. But his smile fades into thoughtfulness as she talks about her father. Well, he knew that she was supposed to be an empress, so it makes sense that it's hereditary. Still, he hadn't fully considered what the tit...

Not a Date "Oh, huh." Darko hasn't thought of religion in those terms before. He's only considered it in the traditional way of going to a church, worshipping an unseen god, that sort of thing. But going by Bismuth's explanation... "I guess I worship the Wizards then, since I trust t...

A Bridge Too Far Octavia flits after Lapis excitedly, the others completely forgotten. Being bodiless for a while is a small price to pay to witness a higher angel's true form- especially an alien angel. -i don't know if i've ever been afraid? so don't worry about that!- she says cheerfully, hoveri...

Paternity Problems Five minutes is okay. Atya can wait that long. She nods at the credential clarification- all medical personnel are doctors to her, but she won't argue the point. And luckily for Braon, Atya's not much in the mood for flirting; she waves off Reinholdt's comment with an awkward smi...

Aiko's Bad Day Bloodplunder Residence Darko breathes another sigh of relief. Now, finally, Koko is in a good place where she feels safe. Which in his opinion is just as important as any of the speculation and scheming that everyone else had been doing about the Aikos. More important, really. He loo...

Outdoor Movie Place The nose boops get a giggle from Darko, and face flushes slightly. Koko is clearly just trying to be polite, but it's nice to be called cool regardless. "Look who's talking, cool kid Koko. I saw a couple movies as a kid, but I don't really remember them. Something about a g...

Boy and Dog A weird little building has appeared on the beach somewhere. There's a town not too far from here, so a beachside shop wouldn't be too strange a sight- harvesting all the fanciest shells to sell to tourists is a surprisingly lucrative endeavor. However, this isn't a shop- this is a Thea...

Not a Date Depends on the kind of pink, and whether the basis is light or paint. But the definition of colors is too esoteric a subject even for the Theatre. "I guess I don't know much about divine healing. Or divine magic in general- I've never been one for religion." Darko shrugs. It's ...

[Paternity Problems] Reinholdt shakes 'Miranda' 'Corez' hand. She might be out to get him, but that doesn't mean he's going to be impolite about it. "I see." Well Braon and Toby probably don't get along inherently from what little Rein knows of Braon. So maybe this Miranda was trustworthy...

Aiko's Bell Day Excellent! Darko breathes a sigh of relief. A kindly adult who knows Aiko is exactly the right person to go see. Hopefully this Nana will take Koko's current state in stride and not try to pressure her into rejoining the others. Of course, there's the question of how to get there. H...

Outdoor Movie Place "Huh, Asami asked you to come here too? That's weird," says Darko thoughtfully, "He told me to come here too, because he wants me to be cooler and watching movies is cool? I haven't seen many so maybe he's right." Weird coincidence! And it's not even that col...

Aiko's Bell Day Uh oh! Darko hadn't imagined that Koko might be afraid of heights. Well, she probably didn't know either! Regardless, the bell tower was perhaps not the best place to take her. He curses himself for not choosing somewhere more secure. Quickly moving to support her, he helps Koko get...

A Bridge Too Far -potential threats? that does sound promising- says Octavia thoughtfully. After all, she's already proven very skilled at saving people and defeating threats on a smaller scale, so why not a bigger one? But if she was interested in joining, she'd have to run it by her superiors fir...

Not a Date What is pink if not a shade of red? "Huh, you know I never considered that wound disinfecting would be important in magical healing? But it makes sense," muses Darko, rubbing at the fresh scars. "Thanks- I've never gotten hurt like that before." It's actually a little...

Xar'cha Estate - Reinforcements "Well, it wouldn't hurt to have an explanation of how she can 'ruin all our ambitions on this plane,' but I can live without," says Nathair with a shrug. If she's Tauron's creator- that puts her as the highest link up of the Nexus' Phyrexian chain, doesn't ...
