The Nexus

[Armory] "Our family had a small tunnel cat when we were younger. But it was a long time ago. Our parents did most of the work. Our boss has a big wolf pack... his people are big about wolves. But his experience raising them doesn't apply as much." "Right, let's see... will this one ...

[A Hungover Sidereal] Hiep's eyes follow the movement of Ber'ri's tail for a moment. It's kind of adorable. But then she focuses on the question... or as much as she can focus in her current state. "Not really? If it happened to your friend it's probably not our ambrosia. And even if it was, I...

[Rec Room] "Nothing happened; she is fine." This does confirm to Calm Reed that Reinholdt is indeed her father. This might make things easier. "I have heard rumors that a notorious man named Magtok is her father. I believe him to have been one of your number at one point. I thought a...

[Armory] "My thing are one -handed melee weapons... but let's see what we've got." Kuvesh begins to rummage through another part of the armory. "I hope Quisp isn't getting into any trouble. I haven't had him for long and I don't really have a lot of experience with pets." "...

[Cry Havoc] "I'm fine. What-" Wenomir sharply turns towards the elf as he brings down the enemy he killed. He points his poleaxe towards both of them. "Your brother was hunting down innocent people. If you're part of this attack, we'll bring you to justice as well. Surrender."

[Incognito Golem]

"Name's Hiep." The woman tips her hat. "Now, as you may or may not be aware, you have a destiny. My job is to make sure you're ready for it. I work for a celestial bureaucracy, you see. A different one than the one hassling you, I think."

[Picking Up The Pieces]

Not a warm welcome, but an expected one. Probably best not to bother this particular succubus too much. Fayyaad will give her a respectful nod and try to head inside. If she tries to bar them entry, well, that's something to work with.

[A Hungover Sidereal]

"Nope, never heard of it happening. Even if I'm sure people tried." Hiep blinks, bloodshot eyes focusing on Ber'ri. "Why do you ask? Did you hear about it happening?"

[Uncia's House] Iknika deliberates on this question for a long while. How strictly should she follow Naku's instructions? They could be trick instructions meant to teach her to think independently. Should she not bring more water if she can? But water is heavy; if she takes too much it'll weigh her...

[Cry Havoc] Wenomir yanks his poleaxe out of the angelphant's head and hops off the body. That went a lot better, but the real threat is in the air and she hasn't been seriously harmed so far. He takes a look around himself. "Kothar. Good to have you here. Do you know who this is?" he mot...

[Armory] "No, it's a saying from our homeland. Which is a colony in a mountain range by the sea." "So the sea isn't literally under everything, but close enough." The two of them watch the demonstration of strength with equal parts surprise and awe. "Good thing it's an old ...

[Ruined Observatory] This isn't good, Hiep thinks as she scrambles to avoid the cloud. Just being near this thing is making her nauseous. How is she going to stay close long enough to clobber it... if that's even possible? Maybe using her surroundings against it will work. It's not a big deal if it...

[Rec Room] "Yes, indeed. I came here in search of you, master Reinholdt." Calm Reed inclines her head slightly towards him. "Though it is no problem if Ambrosia is here as well. It concerns one of our own members, Blanche Turath. I am given to understand you are familiar with her.&qu...

[The Mound]

A deer-unicorn climbing a ladder isn't a sight Iknika ever expected to witness. Wonders truly never cease.

"If it went off, that would explain why everyone is dead. Really wish people like him would put all this cleverness to something less... horrid."

[Cry Havoc] Wenomir isn't pleased that the elf is getting away, but he has to admit that none of his attacks were doing much to hurt her. He might have more luck if he drew some fire into his dagger again. As he falls down, he sees one of the other mutants charge... Kothar? The warrior shifts his p...

[Armory] Olvisin will hold the door open for Quisp. She trusts him to find his way to her room and knows he's not likely to get into too much trouble in the base. The armor is surprisingly flexible, but it doesn't provide as much protection as other suits of plate might. Eddie doesn't need it, but ...

[A Meeting of Minds] Dorota nods, straightening her glasses. "That's... true. My research would be deemed heretical in my homeland. And I can't say I arrived at a satisfactory definition of a god myself. Treating as a matter of politics is tempting. After all, mortals have been able to deify t...

[Face Time]

Wenomir has nothing to add. Once Ilpholin has disconnected, he sighs deeply.

"I do hope we don't regret this later."

[Incognito Golem] As the two walk down the street, someone steps from behind a parked truck. Which is odd because both Mina and Eddie would have seen the truck from that angle before and this person was very obviously not there. Or was she? Maybe she was... The person in question is a short green-h...

[Picking Up The Pieces]

Fayyaad nods. He was thinking much the same thing.

"You're right. Let's stick together and go to the hotel first. It'd be logical for drifters who just arrived. And it clearly saw some fighting so we can learn something."

[Face Time] "No, we're cooperating closely with HALO again." The turbulence of the two groups' merge and split is a thing of the past, fortunately. Even Wenomir, prone as he is to holding grudges, has moved on. "We'll let them know you'll be in touch." Since it will take some ex...

[Cry Havoc] This elf just doesn't know when to quit. Fortunately, neither does Wenomir, even if he doesn't have the physical resilience to back it up. Unwilling to be stuck to an airborne enemy, he concentrates on the Answer. It briefly becomes incorporeal, passing through the elf and inflicting we...

[Rec Room] Calm Reed steps inside the room and hesitates briefly when she sees the two in the middle of a game. But she is already here, so might as well continue with her mission. She bows to the both of them, hands hidden inside her robe's sleeves. "Greetings. I hope I am not interrupting.&q...

[Armory] "Yeah, I can see why- Quisp, stop it. I told you, no biting people." "You shouldn't have let him bite your arms. Now he's used to people not feeling anything when he does it." Olvisin snorts. "Since when are you an animal expert?" "This armor we're puttin...

[Cry Havoc] Reliant as he is on mobility and evasion, Wenomir is quite vulnerable to being grappled. But as his weapon and shoulders are pinned, he reveals a trick up his sleeve. The Answer shimmers again, becoming a long poleaxe, which he tries to jam into the elf's mouth, so that she can't close ...

[Face Time]

"I agree. Ambrosia is the best source of information." Wenomir was expecting it. "Dorota... the alchemist from HALO? I don't know how much she knows about fey, but she is from my homeworld so it's probably worth asking her."

[Armory] "Have you considered... altering your appearance? If that's even possible." "This is way more advanced than anything our alchemists have managed to accomplish with golems. I've never heard of one being sentient, for one thing." "I think the ones down south have don...

[Cry Havoc] Wenomir becomes a blur as he weaves, dodges and parries the orbs. But even his agility has its limits, so one of them painfully connects with his left arm, forming a bruise under his armor. It's only a matter of time before one of them strikes his leg... so he has to act. He takes a dee...

[Birds and Babs- Treasure Hunt] Balthuk stops himself, holding someone's shoe in both hands. He puts it back with due reverence. "Okay. Mom would get mad if we made a mess." As the twins get to searching, Kes might spot something. There's a very small shoe under one of the benches. Perhap...

[Armory] "Did it work, at least?" Olvisin asks as the two goblins start pulling the carapace off the robot. "That is, do you really think more flexibly than other constructs?" "Feels like the side-effects are something your creators really should have seen coming." Olv...
