The Nexus

Gwas collides with the golem like a train-
It rocks back-
It starts falling-
It wraps its giant stone arms around Gwas to try to bring him down with it, literally-

[The Demons' Lair] "You could say that. I think a good example is this. Imagine a picture with different color. You can see them but you don t know what to call them. You need to learn the names so when you talk about it others understand it." Mia says. Her example might not be the best b...

[Brefaisil] The queen isn't hard to find. The first, and most logical, place to look for her is in the throne room. And, of course, she's there, standing in front of her throne... she can't really sit in it, not with that massive crack running through it. Well, not just it. The offending fissure is...

[Outside DFI] Askeladd pauses, uncertain. Then he decides to give an honest answer in return for the honesty he's been given. "Partly, but that's not the whole story, I fear. I needed to get away from my former friends in my homeland. There had been disagreements between us. Now that I am here...

[Introductory Collisions] Wow. This (kid?) is pretty creepy. Cloak and glowing eye combo will usually do that, in Khannie's experience. But hey they asked a pretty good question right? Right. "Umm... Well, I dunno. I can't really think of any heroes that do mad biology? Usually mad biologists ...

[Glass Mountain => Brefaisil] This is...devastating. No wonder Absum hardly ever contacts people. It wasn't even a long conversation that he and Gryffaf had been engaged in. How did the heat reach this far, but leave any vegetation at all further back? More attention paid to the city, perhaps. It's...

[Introductory Collisions] Okay, cool, they seem like they're on the same page. So yeah! Talking skills. And looming. Khannie is just a bit over five feet tall so she unconsciously stands up straighter and does her best to look tough in the face of the looming. Khannie is, after all, not the sort to...

Fenric chuckles I don't know that I count as famous, or that you ought to recognize me: I'm just old. I first came here on the third day after Trog built it... ooh... a bit over sixteen years ago now. Name's Fenric, by the way: nice to meet you. Fenric. No, that doesn't seem to ring a bell. "H...

[Into the Looking Glass] "I- w-what?" Stasia stammers, stiffening in shock. "W-why me? I-I mean, I'm not very special or interesting or-" the halved foxgirl frets. Why would someone as scary and powerful as the General pick her over anyone as badass as Ilpholin, for example? She...

[The Demons' Lair] "Thats something that follows afterwards." Mia says. "It is a bit hard to describe, but whoever looks on the radar can only work with what it shows. If the radar can't make out the different materials then the user won't have anything to tell. That is only the raw ...

[Into the Looking Glass] Once she gets her bearings, thanks to Limuria and Limuria, Skye brushes away some of the confetti and heads back towards the table. "Someone else at the party? Ana -first Ana- would you join me?" she asks, pointing lightly towards Stasia. The King in Rags isn't on...

[Introductory Collisions] "Yes." Khannie pretty much summed up how it was supposed to have gone and how it actually went instead. To be honest, the rival hasn't had a rival before either. You could maybe count that time back when they first started school, back before all the protagonist ...

[The Demons' Lair]

"Don't you mean that whoever's using the radar has to learn all those things?" Sophia asks. Sure, their machines might know things, but the same shouldn't be true for Mia, should it? It's not like they want an advanced robot for this...

[Outside DFI] "In these lands? Not far at all. I am new here and I prefer not to draw attention to myself." Askeladd's answer is entirely honest. "In my homeland, I was a storyteller of some renown but I preferred to perform other deeds discreetly." Akseladd seems to actually me...

[Introductory Collisions] The mystery student is slow at collecting the papers, only letting their left hand out from under their cloak and thus having an increasing number of papers in her way. So it's extra-good that Khannie is helping, instead of just standing there laughing. "Ahhh-" &...

An oddity of the campus that the newcomer may quickly notice is the regularity with which students collide with each other. They'll be messing with their school work or magical playing cards or talking artifact or chatting with ghosts or any of a pretty wide range of things that distracts them from...

[Train] The tentacle is torn through, releasing Jason who immediately follows Kiun towards the exit. But as they run, there's a sickening CRUNCH as the entity tightens its could around the car, shattering glass and bending metal and plastic inwards. This is followed by a loud screech and everyone b...

Fenric chuckles and nods, his ears returning to a neutral position I come here fairly often, yes. It's the only place that has managed to stay open the whole time and I'm old enough to not care so much for change anymore. The fox, Honeysuckle, hops off of the manticore's back and onto a bar stool, ...

Train The train is speeding away from the station now. "We seem to have gotten away this time." Jason says, just before a purple tentacle erupts from the floor beneath him to prove him wrong. "Gah!" It's wrapped around him now, pinning him in place. "Oh hello there," s...

That's right, Khannie! Extremely loyal. And I'm sure she's giving good advice here.

[The Demons' Lair] "Sorry about the, uh, decoration." Sophia would also prefer someplace dryer and more rectangular, but alas, that's not how things are done here. "Some of us are basically human, so we can use humanlike vehicles if we have to - I'll bring the others along so you can...

[The Demons' Lair] "Well, we could make out some blueprints for the most common forms, but anything special needs to wait." Mia says. "I wouldn't say i am a professional with radar, but I have a basic knowledge. Do you need something like that for underground movement?" "Le...

[Outside DFI] "I apologize for my presumptions, then." Askeladd inclines his head slightly. "Mist appears to be a local deity. Is Message more widely worshipped?" This confuses the priest. What is Askeladd plotting, that brings him to act with this cool politeness? "Yes. Th...

[Into The Looking Glass] If someone wants to stab The General and make it look like a magic trick gone wrong, they had better hurry up! Only a few throws left! Skye is very dizzy when let off the wheel, probably stumbling against whoever is helping her down (another Limuria?) But she looks quite ha...

The power comes from the magical script along the top corner of its 'head'.
Should be possible for a little bird to zip up there, although it might be a distraction from not getting his feather singed.

Fenric smiles and waves, his ears folded in non-threatening greeting. Hello! Hmm, that definitely means something. Longer, flatter, trying to show that he's not dangerous? "Hello." The fox answers, before glancing away. "You here often?" "You got it. Easy, right?"

Into the tavern walks a monster; one of those classic mixed up creatures. Body of a lion, wings of a bat, stinger of a scorpion, face of a girl. And on the back of the monster is riding a little black fox (with three tails, that's 200% more tail per fox!). They head up to the bar, where the fox orde...

[Outside DFI] The priest shakes their head slowly. "You were told correctly, but other than the fact that there is a leader and follower, the similarities end. There is no further hierarchy of gods." "A proper god is a rare thing. Though there are endless types of being with one thin...

A new student, wrapped up in a mysterious cloak, steps off the Riftline and hesitantly steps towards the school. Oh, maybe they're not hesitating, and just have too many feet, which are getting in each others' way? Or perhaps both those things? Yes, upon further inspection, definitely both. Apparent...

Sorry, Charles. We have to put Gwas under some real stress. And since you were slow enough that he reunited with you, that means you're in some danger too. Charles can easily tell that the column is enchanted. Transmutation, specifically the type that grants animating energy to nonliving things. Th...
