The Nexus

Skullfort Town Mist nods. He's clearly not insulted by Leah's attempt to humble him. Since she's right after all. "Well yeah. My follower count is under 50, and I'm sharing them with Message. And it's not like I'm going to be actively recruiting aside from what they do by themselves." Whi...

Winterhearth Sanctuary "A forty pound sack is a decently heavy sack, but fair enough." That's probably somewhere between 25 and 30 percent of Steven's body weight. Being actually a dragon makes his strength while shapeshifted a little wonky. And if necessary he can carry the sacks himself...

Front Door

G’nichi is about to step inside when he hears the noise. With a small groan he turns away from the door to face the woods around him. He plants his hands on his hips and announces loudly,
”If you come out now you won’t be in trouble.”

Butterfly Bay Codebreaker's sternum is as soft as ever (even his summer coat is pretty thick). "Some of that is...kind of my...natural state. And hey...at least with this recruit...you don't have to worry...about sweat-smell." the wolfen pants. That is actually part of the problem. Keepin...

[Butterfly Bay] "I trust you to not be that careless." Kyrie replies, barely hiding a little smirk. Which devolves into a contemplative frown as he watches Codebreaker... very nearly get the posture and technique right. The conclusion is obvious; he's seen and done this before, but either...

[Dancing Fox Inn] "That's the second time you've mentioned being influenced by their belief. It's not a mechanism I'm familiar with," Askeladd admits. "If you could go back on it, would you?" Dancing Fox Inn "It's hard to explain. But my title came from them and what it com...

Front Door G'nichi (who by the way is in theory still discussing all of this on their front stoop) gives a low hum as he considers it. "Well I know Jeb went to your Spooktober party so he'd probably consider you a friendly face. And I can't imagine any of them being scared of you or anything s...

Front Door G'nichi picks up on Lucy's reaction and makes note to avoid dropping any more specific details. "I mean they're children with the bodies of dogs with smoky heads." That's pretty weird. "Ummm. Well they've never tried to steal my name. And Kara has been watching them pretty...

Front Door "Well, no. To throwing them out." G'nichi curls his claws as he tries to put into words the extremely weird circumstances of his housing situation. "My good friend Karaglen rescued them from the Pit after they'd been taken by the fey. She told me the best way to heal the d...

A Casual Walk Jim stares in bewilderment at the bird. "Uh. I don't know who that is." Jim says flatly. Is he supposed to know people in the skeleton animal community? The Toy Tinker "Hm. Are you saying you could make the trip before our big expedition, Jaahlyn?" As a psychopomp ...

Front Door "Woah! Very impressive, Lucy." G'nichi says with a sage nod. Though Adir's comment has him sputtering. "I am! Well I'm not but Nala and I aren't there yet! My house is haunted by a number of fey-spirit-children." He pauses. "They also look like dogs." G'nich...

Front Door "It's nice to meet you, Lucy." G'nichi says warmly, tail waving behind him. Though Adir's comment makes him sigh. "No, that's something else entirely. When a young person tells you that their father figure is great and perfect and doesn't make mistakes, don't always comple...

Front Door G'nichi isn't particularly phased from the door being shut in his face. He can wait a few moments, which does pay off. "Hullo, Adir." he offers a hand to shake. You have to be careful with those hands; he's got pretty notable claws. "I thought I would drop by like you said...

Skullfort

"I've never really felt cosmically significant." Mist says with a sheepish smile, moving to take his scarf back.
"Well no harm done it sounds like. I'll wear it proudly for them and to always remind you of hopeful times." He reaches to give her a little hug.

Butterfly Bay If Owena's strategy for meeting boys is to rip one of her own bones out CB might need to give her some advice. Usually Owena is the one he doesn't usually worry about but yeesh. "Don't people normally start with swords that aren't sharp? I can't regrow my paws if I accidentally s...

Winterhearth "Oh, you mean you want to go to this other place and make a few cuts? Sure. Eclipse hasn't been out for an exercise like that in quite a while." Really he hasn't used Eclipse for much in a long time. But the sword was forged as a weapon to protect, and so in theory the longer...

Skullfort This answer doesn't seem to really answer things for Mist. "And you're saying you did that? Why?" Making them like a certain accessory seems harmless enough, but... "And that's not true. I am what I am right now because of what they believed me to be. If you changed their h...

Winterhearth Sanctuary "Well, usually being a dragon and growling at someone tends to ward off those scenarios but I should probably avoid a diplomatic incident." Everyone hates diplomatic incidents. "I'm afraid my expertise is mostly in literature and lore. What do you normally trad...

Winterhearth Sanctuary Steven scratches his chin. "Hm. We probably should have thought of that before we got here. I'm sure we could have raided the wine cellar for something strong. We could always go back?" Sadly they're not wizards or a few dragon scales or even some dragon saliva/veno...

Butterfly Bay

CB gets up and goes to meet his friends by the gate.
”Good evening, you two. You uh. Doing okay?”
From the sound of conversation involving bones he would have guessed no if it was anyone else…

Codebreaker’s Home ”Well I can’t imagine why you’d want to get to know me of all people but I’ll try my best if Kyrie hasn’t killed me by tomorrow. Thank you for the snack; your cooking is lovely.” He has no reason to lie so it’s probably a genuine compliment. Though he’s not sure why she’s so sure...

Dancing Fox Inn Mist has no issue trotting over to the fort. Mist finds himself just as comfortable walking as sitting or standing. Comes up with the travel domain. "Okay, yeah. That's what I understood it did. I mostly wanted to make sure I wasn't making any wrong assumptions on that one.&quo...

Dancing Fox Inn "Oh don't worry Leah, I know not to let people touch these. It's just you I trust with it." Well and Message but same thing. And probably Anchor because again, same thing. Assuming he's positive they're not an imposter which he is in this case. "But. It can't have bee...

Butterfly Bay "Must be a pretty popular book." Codebreaker says with a whistle. A place here, on one book? Maybe he'd heard of it if it sold that much. He sighs at the sight of the dessert. "Sadly my diet starts...as soon as my trainer gets here, and he has an angry beam sword with m...

Butterfly Bay Well they could afford a place here so that definitely says something. CB certainly wouldn't mind the town being shaken up a little. He's found that a good number of his neighbors aren't insufferable but a good deal of them are. They deserve to be annoyed. "Hullo. I'm Codebreaker...

Butterfly Bay

Codebreaker accepts the toast, cups clinking.
"To better days."

The next day Codebreaker is out on his porch in shorts and a plain white shirt, waiting for Kyrie.

Butterfly Bay Codebreaker raises an eyebrow. "I have trouble believing you've seen worse, but I guess you come from a world where a young guy can literally eat so much pork he becomes a pig." He takes a long pull from his own glass. "Kyrie," he says quietly. "I think you wo...

Dancing Fox Inn "Huh. So the Cup manipulates things to turn out in ways that suit me?" Or suit him being Mist. Which does make sense. He got the seed before his Cup, so the Cup factored his god self into the equation. Then it pushed him to make sure he turned out how he was when it was de...

Winterhearth "Ah. Well, I can understand that. We had wanted to visit the stronghold while we were here. We can keep our visit brief so our aura of trouble isn't near you for too long." he grins, letting them know he's joking (it's part of his duty as the head of the nogitsune department ...

A Casual Walk Well. He supposes he can give some vague details. They don't need to know specifics. "Well, I did once use a staff to explode a large structure with a concentrated beam of light." It was a bident and he used it to destroy a huge machine on the ceiling of not-Sticks' vault, b...
