The Nexus

Looking a lot Like Thanksmas "Sort of! I've been adopted by Brinika's family, so she's my sister now, but I'm a gnome. I don't have the ears, but I have this nose, which is more sensitive than most. Maybe not as sensitive as Tuskfang's, but good enough." Cheasadh smiles at Blue. At the mo...

Beginning To Look Like Thanksmas "I was just curious cuz' you seem older but you look, uhm, smaller. No offense," says Blue. Cheasadh might also get the sense she means 'older' as a sort of compliment. She smiles. "Are you like a sort of goblin?" The Frescots seem to have a lot ...

[MERC Offices] "In the middle of the lounge? Dunno if we'll have much privacy there. But there's always my laptop. You can watch stuff on that, right?" Dena hadn't looked into it much but she had seen others do it so why wouldn't hers be able to? As much as she resented the idea of lettin...

[It's beginning to look a lot like Thanksmas] Blue's eyes fill up with wonder at one of Khannie's transformations - like always. How's she do that with her hooves? It's like a cartoon. Of course, Blue's child-mind really isn't interested in questioning this, it just thinks they're neat. Blue plops ...

[MERC Offices] "Anybody there now?" Fettina says brightly, seemingly heedless of any twitching eye or insinuations regarding her work ethic. "Or would we have it to ourselves? I mean, it sounds perfect, right? Got a couch. Got the nosh. I'm sure we can stream something . You can show...

[It's beginning to look a lot like Thanksmas]

"No! But I'm gonna!" Blue seems very confident about this. "I wouldn't mind turning into a unicorn either though. Like you."

"You can use an orange as an ornament?" How strange. "What's a clove?"

[MERC Offices] Dena tilts her head. "They danced in heels ? Ancestors below. I get shoes, but heels? I've only seen dudes dance in that and that was for y'know traditional reasons." She makes a circular motion with her hand. "But hey, if you wanna do that, sure. Though keep in mind t...

[It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Thanksmas] "I like the deers!" Because of course she does. "I wanna make an extra big one! Like daddy." Most of them aren't like him, though. She knows that. "Or the one that'll look like me." Kissa could already change into a little ...

[MERC Offices] "Cry for help? I just like setting them free on occasion. Since y'know that wearing shoes for too long is unhealthy for them right? Common dancer knowledge." Dena nods and wiggles her toes. "But you want me to focus all my attention on you, are you? Seems like there's ...

[MERC Offices] Fettina blows air through her lips. "MERC's not the kind of corporation I was thinkin. And we're definitely not like any I've ever seen." If they were, she probably wouldn't be working with them. "You're not really helping your defense here, you know." She smirks ...

[MERC Offices] "Nope, I'm a completely unfeeling monster now." Dena jokes with matching smile. "A great void waiting to be filled. But a break you say? I'm not sure. I had one more than a year ago." When she was pregnant, something she doesn't want to talk about. "What if I...

[It's Beginning to look a lot like Thanksmas] "Yeah!" Blue says. She loves this stuff. Taking random bits and bobs like she might find in her dad's junk drawer and turning them into pretty animals is just about the best feeling ever. Well, at least until the next best feeling. "Mommy...

[MERC Offices] Fettina winces. "Sorry. Maybe that was insensitive." She looks at her feet. "It's just hard to be grateful for feelings right now. You know what I'm saying?" "That's not all true for you, though. Is it? You're tough, sure. I don't know, worn down and hard, ma...

[MERC Offices] "Alright Kirky. See you later," Fettina says, managing to muster a smile. She droops again, like a faded flower, when Kirk signs off. She gives Dena a bland, bleary look. "A bit traumatic." Her voice is sopping with sarcasm, but she tries not to let it turn too ac...

[It's Beginning to Look a lot Like Thanksmas] Blue looks around. She's happy to help gather kiddos! Especially if they're her siblings. But she isn't sure if all of them are gonna want to help do arts and crafts. Blue likes arts and crafts, but not all her siblings do. "We could always get gro...

[MERC Offices] Fettina doesn't see any reason to disagree with the two drow, and she doesn't seem to have anything more to add. She just sort of breathes out and settles into herself a little when Dena says that it's done. She doesn't hit people on their own turf or set traps for human(oid) beings ...

Teddy Dreams

"Tomorrow's another day, Jim, and it's only a day away! Day, away! Hoho!" Comes the frumpled voice from inside the teddy. It doesn't look like he should be able to fit in there even with the teddy's current size, but it's a dream after all. He seems... amenable?

[It's Beginning to Look a lot Like Thanksmas] Blue comes scurrying up from her latest task. The little faun-girl looks up at the tree like it's the most amazing thing in the world, her hands down and spread at her sides. "I thiiiink..." She gives it a serious ponderance. "We should d...

Teddy Dreams Jim blinks. "A what? What do you mean a soul?" Oh right. Has Sticks never actually explained that? Teddy Dreams Sticks looks slightly aghast for a second, and then puts his thin, sharp fingers over his mouth. "Ah, oops! I've said too much!" He turns to the bear and ...

[Post-Maze] Adir meets Khannie's eyes, sensing some significance there, and lets it go. He doesn't want to make Asami any more upset. His natural instinct is to do a little adulting, but Khannie seems pretty grown up herself. "Alright," he says, smiling at the young ladies, before turning...

[Teddy Dreams]

"Oh, well that would be simple. I could whip you up a molkav token with the fragment of an athlete's soul inside. I'm sure I have a sprinter or runner or such somewhere in my bag of tricks."

[Post-Maze] Blue probably winces away from the light as well, as do the other Frescot lil'uns who are close enough. Adir, the tall, antlered man who appears to be their father, currently dressed in a sasquatch costume, probably does his best to get his arms out in front of his charges and turn them...

[Teddy Dreams] "Looks like it would help you cheat, my boy? Give the appearance of cheating. In a footrace? Or, a hoofrace. I suppose I could make you look windy and billowy without actually increasing your speed any." "The finish line as a trap is an interesting idea, to be certain....

[MERC Offices] "Banning a violent crazy person from somewhere is like banning weapons in a place you want to keep safe. You think a mass murderer is going to follow a city order?" Tina says. "The only way it'd mean anything is with a threat of force, but does any law enforcement in t...

[Summer Water Balloon Party] Woblins and Dryadeer "Ohh, okay," Malachi agrees. Home time! Well, he wanted to stay a bit longer, but he has a big thing about not wanting to look like a baby compared to Kissa. So he also waves. "Bye! It was nice playing! Thank you again Khannie!"

Teddy Dreams "Precisely! So why should she feature in my dreams? Hrrmph," Sticks says, turning back to his work. "Bah! Fey politics. The only thing that makes any less sense is real politics. At least the fey can't lie! Well, some of them. Fey is so meaningless, Jim, my boy. You know...

[Post-Maze] Brinika isn't normally eager to share the spotlight. And Laurana isn't dressed as a zombie or Michael Jackson. But can she say no to those doe eyes? She cannot. "Sure! You can be my backup singer." [Post-Maze] Laurana squeaks out a high-pitched, piping "Yaaay!" and f...

[Summer Water Balloon Party] Woblins and Dryadeer Malachi certainly doesn't seem to mind sharing with his twin sister - it's all the other dumb older kids he knows are the real enemy of sharing. It's like they don't listen to anything mom and dad say! "Look, mommy!" And now he wants to sh...

Teddy Dreams "Oh, ah, Jim, my lad! Perhaps you could help me, this project seems to be getting a little out of hand..." Sticks mutters, glancing up only once, but he does a double-take when he sees Jaahlyn. "Oh. That's peculiar. Jim's girlfriends never appear in my nightly whimsies. ...

[Post-Maze]

"Never ever!" Blue declares when Khannie prompts, giggling and quite sincere. "And Thanksmas sounds like it's gonna be amazing!"

Laurana, meanwhile, just looks up at Brinika with those big dewy eyes of hers. "Can I sing too? I'm a good singer."
