The Nexus

"No no, you're right... like a werewolf thing. Except instead of turning into a wolf in the full moon, you turn into a superhero when people need saving, and then forget about it afterwards." Alice taps her head knowingly. "You'd literally never know." Which could be said about ...

Raril frowns, thinking and takes a sip of his wine. "I could probably find another distributor, but the best stuff, in my opinion, comes straight from Menzoberranzan. A lot of our drow clients would have nothing less. And I want to keep them happy. I might be able to find someone willing to un...

"Ah," June says. "I see." She thinks for a moment, and realizes she doesn't actually know where they get Spiderblood wine from. "Are there no other places we can get it from? Or is it the only option?" To answer about the sword, June gestures with the manual. "My....

Raril Xar'Cha emerges from his office looking a bit haggard. Deadtime and the shifting nature of the Nexus had made the bookkeeping hell. When had spiderblood wine gotten so expensive? There was a direct route between Inside and Menzoberranzan through Delmah Phor. He swore his supplier was raising ...

[Maid Café and Book Signing] Its more that he only wears pants nothing else no shirt no shoes nothing. He just presents his hot body in a way. " Well look over there, fhe woman with the skeleton dog. She is the protagonist. Its about her life and a bad king who took over the throne. I don t wa...

[ Cloud Nine ] To be honest, June still hasn't quite figured out how that whole adventure into the Pit worked. Mostly, it just didn't make a lot of sense, but that's not saying much considering how many other things that don't make sense have also happened. As long as she doesn't think too hard abou...

Talah 'hmmmm's. "Oh, yeah! You're right. A gig job like modeling would be the perfect kind of job for a superhero, able to pick when to work." Talah taps her lips. "But wait, if I were a superhero's secret identity, would I even know it? That would be the perfect secret identity, one ...

"A shapeshifting arm is a pretty convincing argument in favor of magic," Talah admits. She glances at the door, too, after seeing Alice do it. "Considering secret identities are a thing, a superhero could show up and we wouldn't even realize." Like, for example, that mild-manner...

"I'd believe it," Talah says. Stories and real life being pretty much the same? Makes sense: "Where I came from - before the Nexus - wavy-hand magic and superheroes were just in stories but turns out they're both all over here. Wouldn't be surprised if a superhero walked into the tav...

[ Kitchen ] It's okay. Maria's acting cute, so the rumors don't matter. Besides, Seraphina probably won't be here for long - probably at most until they figure out her missing memory diplomacy deal, which hopefully won't take that long. And since Maria also doesn't care about them, then it's as if t...

[ Cloud Nine ] Because of the darkness, they probably couldn't really see June's attack, anyway. June briefly wonders what it would be like if some weird ghost at taken and kept it. Would've been really weird, she supposes. "She's right," June says, backing up Dizzy's point that demons don...

Talah laughs. Her laugh sounds...somewhat cute. "Yeah, that's very appropriate," she says. She drinks from her llamonade. "I would've probably gone with 'friendship'. I mean, do you know how often someone suddenly powers up because of the power of friendship or whatever?" It happ...

[ Cloud Nine ] It's not so much as she's selling herself short, as it is that Dizzy's magic darkness spear was really cool . Definitely much cooler than just touching someone's face. Although she keeps on helping the remaining prisoners, she pauses to contemplate the question. It's a very deep quest...

[ Market Street ] Today's a busy day on the market street. Along the immaculately-kept cobblestone streets, there's brightly colored stalls all designed to snatch attention from the pedestrians, featuring exquisite merchandise, such as magic-infused gems that sparkle in darkness, to soft sea sponges...

[ Cloud Nine ] The sooty darkness thing was definitely the more useful of the abilities shown. "Yeah," June says. "Have fun with the stairs," she tells Dizzy. She turns and looks up at the cages. She sighs. This isn't going to be easy without Dizzy to stand on top of. Or, actuall...

[Maid Cafe and Book Signing] The half dragon reacts a bit slow. He was a bit to focused on the whole 'wearing pants" stuff. He turns to the cat. "Ehhh." he says suprised and looks at the plate he holds and holds it down to her . "Depends on your taste. Those small backery produc...

[Cloud Nine] Thankfully climbing off Dizzy isn't difficult, especially since Dizzy is stopping down to make it easier. Also thankfully, Dizzy isn't paying any attention to June getting weird because Dizzy is focusing on that door being a door which is in the way. Just... Lean back and then kick for...

Kraujo ripples at the compliment, which seems like a positive reaction, although of course it's hard to tell. And as for how much Alice can feel through him, she doesn't seem to react much to the arm's antics, but there's no real way of knowing without asking those important questions. "I mean...

[ Library ] As the one who started the kissing, Seraphina would rather take the blame for the ritual having unintended side effects...but she can't actually remember if she was the one who started it. Granted, she's pretty sure she was the one who started it. It just makes sense that she did. Beside...

The frown doesn't phase Harley. She knows he knows she's keeping part of the story a secret, and she's sure that he knows that.... Well, she's going to stop that train of thought there so it doesn't get lost in circles. When it comes down to it, though, she's pretty sure that she's not interested in...

[ -> Intact House ] As Zophiel approaches, he gives a whistle for the forest shark, as a signal to tell it what to do. It uses the wall of the next door building and a few other things to jump up on the roof. Basically just up there to 'watch' the area through scent. Well, that's good enough, the pa...

[Cloud Nine] And why would they want to put their dungeon below the clouds? That just wouldn't make any sense. What makes more sense is, "I think I can probably kick the door in and give us a smoke screen," Dizzy says. "Then we take down the one giant and free the prisoners. Then we'...

[ Maid Café and Book Signing ] With Batu "A-ah. Um..." Harley suddenly looks a little embarrassed, bites her lip, and looks away. "I was told patrons wanted to be called that. A-as part of the script." She walks away to end the embarrassment, grabs a book, and returns with it. Sh...

[Church of Venus] Jon turns back to Venus, avoiding direct eye contact. "(I understand now. Thank you.)" Jon slowly blinks, internally associating the church as benign. With his mission accomplished, he allowed his mind to go vacant. He wanders around the area, exploring in a purely anima...

[ Main Cabin ] Manja, after retrieving the coin, looks at it and admires it for some time. Obviously, she's not going to steal the coin and bring it back to HALO with her. That would be pretty rude. But, she will definitely check it out again another day, and maybe bring it over for naptime or somet...

A hat rack made out of blood is pretty interesting to see. Talah laughs. "He's a good judge of character. Funny, too." She does start wondering, though: can Alice feel the arm like normal? How does it feel to have an arm turn into a coat rack? Only very important questions. She thinks abou...

[ Maid Café and Book Signing ] With Batu "...Yes, I believe so," Harley confirms. "I've got a kid to take care of, though, so I wasn't present during any of the planning or discussion on what to do." But Harley doesn't seem to mind that she wasn't involved. Four of the past five ...

[ Cloud Nine ] June can tell that Nina is getting farther away, because her buzzing voice in her head is getting less and less buzz. . . . Honestly, though, a dungeon above the castle makes a lot of sense here. After all, if it were below the castle then it would be sticking down below the cloud, to...

[ Church of Venus ] Venus's hand ends up phasing inside of the tree. She just leaves it in there. "(Ah, I see,)" she says, still fairly quiet. "(I wouldn't say I'm that interesting.)" The breeze starts picking up a little. It looks like there's a chance it will rain sometime in t...

[ Church of Venus ] The marmoset scurries up a tree. It doesn't want to be caught, after all. The lady ends up crouching down, or rather lying down with her deer body. She sticks her palm on one the tree. "Hi Jon," she says, "I'm Venus." She feels the impulse to scratch Jon behin...
