The Nexus

[Grounds] ...She wasn't even listening ? Ugh. This girl's barely said a word and she's already getting on Braon's last nerve. She should just turn around now and take her present with her. Clearly Khannie doesn't deserve it. Braon takes a deep breath and bites her tongue. If she turned around now, ...

[Bloodplunder House] Aikobaz gives Aigothurz a small smile at that. "My only attempt at one ended with the entire school laughing at me." She says with a rueful chuckle. "Don't worry, you're in good company." KRAK! Aikobaz leaps to her feet as a good chunk of her door goes skitt...

[Blackjack] Solenoid removes her hands from between her hands and chuckles breezily, looking sideways at the dealer. "Yeah, you're right. That was a bit much, huh?" Solenoid glances back at the fancy succubus, then turns to face the dealer properly. "Well, my engineer didn't build no...

Off the Coast Krayger staggers but finds his footing quickly. He glances at the crew, standing back out of his range. He sighs. "Move in or surrender. Pick one." He draws his minotaur-sized revolver from his hip and fires four shots into the demonic crowd. Half of the bullets in his revol...

[Trail of the Red-Clad Man] A large, muscular man in a loincloth is a sight Hiep would be quite glad for in other circumstances. Sadly, these circumstances are what they are. Damn shame. "You sure are bigger than I expected," she says. "And really we just wanted to know what you were...

[Grounds] Oh, hey, there she is. ...So that's what Arthfael meant when he said his girlfriend was "foxy". Braon always just assumed he found her attractive. Well... clearly, he did, but in hindsight, that doesn't seem to be what he was trying to convey. "Hey. Um... Khannie, right?&qu...

[Palace]

"...I'm really hoping that was directed at me and not her." Miranda pants, picking up the cylinder and clinging to it tightly, as though expecting Sapphira to burst out of it again at any minute. "Are you okay? You look... shaken."

Fel hisses back and fires a few Magic Missiles at the beast. She’s not gonna let these things hurt her Skitty. [Down The Drain] The ratroach takes a few missiles to the face and quickly decides it has better places to be. It scurries off down the tunnel, away from the door. A quick look through the...

[Fetchquest] "With the right magic, it could be grown right back." Tahara points out. "But... fine. I can see there's no talking you into it. I'll just hold onto this for now." The trash witch pulls a piece of tin foil out of her "hair", drops the ear within, and wraps...

[Just Plain Uncomfortable Encounters of the Goblin Kind] "...I see." Arne says quietly. "...If I may, sir. It is... far too late, to save me from a life of violence. Whether it is right or not, I have partaken." He straightens and folds his arms behind his back. "...I could...

[Bloodplunder House] Aikobaz is silent for a moment, and in that time, her hand hovers over Aigothurz's back; the gesture is almost instinctual, but actually touching him seems to her like it might be inappropriately intimate. After a moment, she returns her hand to her lap and lets out a little si...

[Palace] click! Miranda squeezes the cylinder shut, the metal visibly buckling and glowing in her grasp before she releases it, biting her lip and dropping the now-sealed cylinder to her side. Now it's just time to see if locking up the artifact like that cuts off Sapphira's projection. She certain...

[Wormwood Cabin] Braon nods at that information, running her fingers along her chin as she puzzles out what might be a good gift for the girl... and suddenly, her face lights up, a little smile working its way onto her lips. "I think I know just the thing." She says, standing up from her ...

[Wormwood Cabin] "Right. Okay. Thank her." Braon comfirms, clapping her hands together. "No... problem. I can do that. And not in the cheap 'oh hey thanks for not letting me die' way, eith-" Wait, that's what she did with Sophie, isn't it? Braon lets out a little sigh and pinche...

[Wormwood Cabin] "A...a-a..." Braon opens her mouth to respond, but can't seem to quite find the words. There's no "gotcha!" hanging in easy reach, no excuse she can throw in Sophie's face for why she was totally justified in her reasoning, and after a moment of sitting there an...

[Just Plain Uncomfortable Encounters of the Goblin Kind] "...Sir?" The confusion in Arne's voice is palpable, to the point that if the atmosphere were more cartoony, Dipsnig could expect to see a large question mark manifest over the massive knight's head. As it is, what he gets is a quiz...

Bloodplunder House ...Wow, Aikobaz took that harder than Aigothurz thought, though he hadn't been present at the time. Not that it matters, as sure enough he's awoken with a splash before he can make any further questions. After getting drenched, Aigothurz roars and springs to his feet, not fully a...

[Wormwood Cabin] "The brat was setting off fireworks ! In the middle of the day!" Braon counters, throwing out her hands in exasperation. "And it's not like I didn't try to reason with her first! What was I supposed to do, just sit there and take it?" Her expression softens when...

[Fetchquest] "Then we'll end up in the same place." Tahara reasons. "Look, the fact is, we're working with a lot of unknowns here, and if we make too many assumptions, Pterry could- hey! Slow down!" The trash witch scurries after Mat, attempting to make her case even as they sta...

[Palace] If Sapphira thinks agonizing pain is going to be enough to keep Miranda from doing what she set out to do, she doesn't know her very well. Willpower is one of the woman's defining characteristics; if there is nothing that is physically preventing her from shoving Sapphira back into a cramp...

[Trail of the Red-Clad Man] "Shit," is Hiep's first comment regarding their new situation, backing away from the abyss. "Something's coming for us from down there. And I don't know how we're going to close this damn thing." Trail of the Red-Clad Man "It feels cold and icy, ...

Bloodplunder House- Dreams "You're right, I haven't. I also haven't witnessed you ask someone out on a date. This is harder'n I thought. Goodbye, Aiko." With that, he closes his eyes to dismiss Aikobaz and recreate her to have another try. "I'm sorry, Aikobaz. I thought with the wron...

[Intact House] "Hee~! Thank you!" Mallory beams, holding out the soup to Zophiel... ...who might notice something wrong with the succubus's face. It's marked in a way that wasn't obvious before; there appears to be elaborate tattooing on her left eye and around her lips, both imitating th...

[Just Plain Uncomfortable Encounters of the Goblin Kind] "...Blekdal. Arne Blekdal. Sir." Arne says with a nod. "And you assume correctly, sir. I have been trained for martial conflict, and I believe I could be of service to the community, by means of your organization... if you will...

The Coast Oh, not slavers. They're demons like the lot at Hell Bend. Cool, Frigate can handle this. Which is why he's totally ignoring the sword being swung at him as he stands back up again. Unless the sword's enchanted or the demon wielding it is incredibly strong, it likely won't be able to harm...

[Bloodplunder House - Dreams] "What do you mean, 'goodb-'" And like that, she's gone. Only to be brought back again, starting the conversation from the beginning. "Misunderstood my words? Were they really so unclear to you?" Also-not-Aiko frowns, folding her hands in front of he...

[Wormwood Cabin] "I don't see what's so hard to understand about it." Braon mutters, that all-too-familiar growl of frustration burning in the back of her throat. "I don't trust people because I shouldn't trust them. Are you going to look me in the eye and tell me that no, most peopl...

[Blackjack] "Well, like I said. I'm outgoing, but I'm not the type of girl who would do that for anyone who asked," Solenoid calmly explains. "And besides, our little game is still underway. If you win, I'm all yours anyways," she continues, placing her hands between her thighs ...

[Just Plain Uncomfortable Encounters of the Goblin Kind] Arne remains... somewhat stoic as the wolf passes out of the office. When she gets as close to him she's going to, Dipsnig might notice a nervous twitch in the knight's hand, which disappears as soon as Teerka is out of the room. Meanwhile, i...

[Bloodplunder House - Dreams] "No. You shouldn't have." Not-Aiko agrees, crossing her arms. "But more importantly, you should not have been so presumptuous as to ask me out on a date. That was just... wrong , on every level." The empress holds out her fingers and starts counting...
