The Nexus

The Continyantal Hotel Magtok chooses not to respond to Ilpholin's text. Let her get mad at him for not delivering on the demon weapon; it's not like she can do anything to make his situation worse, and if she goes after the other Magtok...well that guy's a bastard, he'd have it coming. "Did y...

[The Continyantal Hotel] "Mostly her," he lies, looking away and cursing inwardly when it's clear his plea is wasted, that he'll have to try something a little more drastic to keep the two of them safe from each other. "But this is the real reason we work so poorly, Reina. Nothing ab...

[The Continyantal Hotel] "...the old AMEN members?" he repeats, raising an eyebrow. That's what this is about? Someone wants to put him on trial...for that? Not even something specific that he did, but AMEN as a whole. How many of his AMEN misdeeds are even public knowledge? Hardly anyone...

[The Continyantal Hotel] Magtok sighs in exasperation. So she's going to play it that way, huh. Her smug attitude was starting to chafe at his ego, and he could feel some of his reservations towards fighting back against a pretty face start to melt away as the patronizing pats and laughter raise hi...

[Tower of Oujet] The acid doesn't seem to bother the OTHER zombie all that much and it does its best to pounce on Laz and begin raking at her with its gross oozy claws. Thankfully it doesn't seem like any of the REALLY BAD acid zombies have gotten in here. Just the smaller, faster ones that are sti...

[The Continyantal Hotel] "There's nothing uniquely Magtok about it. That's the problem; I don't want to see you getting hurt trying this kind of thing on someone else," he corrects her, breaking eye contact to try to remember what he was going to say next. It's a struggle to keep his mind...

The Continyantal Hotel Magtok sighs. He'd expected something like this, but couldn't it have waited until morning? Would it have killed Reina to just let things play out first, instead of tying him to a chair and...wait, are those chinese finger traps on his hands? Damn, that's positively devious. ...

Far Too Early "So Magtok, how exactly were you planning to have the chip 'accidentally' fall into his hands?" She raises her hand. "To clarify, I don't expect you to have a full plan for it yet but it would be good to hear a basic idea at least." "The way I see it, our best...

[The Continyantal Hotel] "Justice," he answers solemnly. Maybe that's all he had time to say before hitting the floor, the first word in another of his long-winded villainous monologues. Or perhaps that's all he meant to say on his way to unconsciousness. Just an echo of Reina's reason fo...

[Tower of Oujet] Saint Lazarus charges forward, rushing towards the zombies with hate in her eyes. We'd been doing so well at avoiding the acid zombies up until now. Their powers are awful, disgusting, and as much as she'd like to tag Anika in and focus on the pylons herself, she doesn't think bein...

The Continyantal Hotel "I mean, it's okay," he answers, clearly nowhere near as enchanted with the sights, giving only the briefest of glances to the lights of the city glimmering on the surface of the Syde river. He swats at the bed, trying to brush aside some of the dumb rose petals and...

[Tower of Oujet] "By the way, I suck at puzzles so I won't be of much help if this is one." "Just push that thing inwards towards the middle pillar until it's connected," Saint Lazarus explains, pointing at one of the pylons. This is probably a really bad idea, but bright lights...

[The Continyantal Hotel] "I must at least say you know how to treat a lady..." Why not? You're the only other person who's still going to be here when the rest of the city is dust, Magtok almost answers, but thinks better of it. He's spent plenty of time aboard the space fleet's flagship ...

[Tower of Oujet] "Say, what does brain taste like by the way? Since undead can't stop eating the stuff I figure it must be the yummiest part of the body." "It's mostly fat. I usually try to stick to the lean meat, but we're in a hurry. If you've ever had a talking pig that screams at...

The long and short of it is that the way into the tower is now open to our heroes! Goodness that took a long time. Feels like they've been getting hung up on nonsense outside for months . But ARE they going to head straight in? Or does Laz have some business with that dead cultist's meat? Saint Laz...

[Far Too Early] "The way I see it, the biggest failure points are either of the Magtoks in question realizing the setup, or the delivery method slipping from us and Prime being able to wreak havoc with amplified psychics. Putting in some manner of failsafe into the amplifier could work, but we...

[The Continyantal Hotel] "I told you, I'm not-It was already like this when I-" Magtok sighs in exasperation, wondering how far he could throw the catgirl out the penthouse windows. If he opens them before throwing her, he could probably launch her all the way to the other side of the str...

[Tower of Oujet] [Tower of Oujet] The spell thankfully only last for a few seconds. Unthankfully, Anika can't simply dismiss it due to its already short duration. But man, Anika was totally sure that cultist-dude was already dead. But here he was spitting in the face of the fortune of still being a...

Unfashionably Early => The Continyantal Hotel Magtok just has to time things right so that he comes into view and gets a room when her eyes are closed and her lips are pushing against his skin. Easier said than done. The name is on the uniforms, on the front of the building, in the lobby. Magtok is...

[Tower of Oujet] And the cultist? Well. The arm he was shooting with has been totally mangled and now he's pulling out one of those fancy looking person-sacrificing daggers from his belt. Given the way he's holding it one could probably guess he's about to plunge it into his own heart and our heroe...

Unfashionably Early "It's a tragic consequence of setting all the Magbots free all those years ago. Now I have to do all my own physical labor, fight all of my own battles, carry my own catgirls. Why, just the other day, I actually had to pick up a heavy crate, carry it somewhere else, and the...

Unfashionably Early "There's a hotel not far from here," Mag points out, as he hurriedly reaches under the table and pulls out his gun wallet. Several bills and some assorted gold coins are dropped onto the table, slapped down on the surface as Magtok stands up from his seat and tries to ...

[Far Too Early] Magtok takes a deep breath. Alright, we'd best start from the beginning. This is going to take some effort to explain in a way the Vigil leadership can understand without immediately throwing him out the window. "Okay, as you might already know, sitting in your prison is a body...

[Tower of Oujet] [Tower of Oujet] Oh the cultist has plenty of time to fire. Getting to the jerk requires rushing up stairs and he saw them coming. Getting hit by the bullet isn't super great, either, because as Anika had guessed it is in fact cursed. And it also isn't blood themed. Not that the re...

Unfashionably Early Magtok sits quietly for a few moments, staring thoughtfully into the distance. It's hard to say if he's genuinely contemplating the merits of Reina's plan, or just trying to think of a polite and diplomatic way to tell her how terrible and stupid and useless it is. "There's...

[Far Too Early] Magtok clears his throat, and slaps both palms on the table. Half of it is to get everyone's attention and focus on the meeting, and the other half is to wake himself up, because he's barely hanging on to consciousness right now, and intends to teleport home and pass out the minute ...

[Tower of Oujet] As our heroes approach he pulls out a really long revolver and takes a shot at the bear since obviously you're going to shoot the unarmored bear before the person wearing actual armor. No snappy one-liners. Not shouted warnings of doom. Just pulling out that peacemaker and BLAM! Sa...

Unfashionably Early Magtok winces. There's a few warning signs here. Reina's saying exactly the sort of stuff that makes him uneasy around Ilpholin. Honestly, blanket statements like that would probably be enough to convince the fleet to preemptively obliterate the whole club from orbit if they cou...

Unfashionably Early "Reina, I don't know if this helps, but there was no wedding. No party, no guests. Not even me. Just a trip to town hall to legally register it in Riverside, and then nothing. You're probably the first or second person to even hear about it; he's being weirdly paranoid and ...

Unfashionably Early One of the goblins owns a gun. Olvadin, or something like that. Obra-Dinn? Magtok considers pointing that out, but thinks better of it. I don't think Reina would appreciate him thinking about goblins while she's trying to paint a very vivid mental picture of herself in shorts an...
