The Nexus

[Aiko's Bad Day] Sigil Aiko frowns as her blazer flops to the seat, and after a moment, stands up again, walks over to Mary again, and sets the garment on her shoulders, again. "...No insult was intended." She says flatly, sitting next to the other girl. "The point I was trying to ma...

[Aiko's Bell Day] "...I'd like to go see Nana." Koko offers, staring up at the ceiling and smiling just a bit. "Nana has a way of making me feel better. And I know the other mes don't like her as much as I do. I mean, they don't not like her, but she does things that get on Aiai's ne...

[Ecbatana] "Oh. Well." Aiko plants her hands on her hips. "That's not happening on my watch. " She says that last bit a little louder for the crowd's benefit, giving them the nudge to move along, there's nothing to see here. Nobody's getting stoned today. "Ah, well..."...

[Paternity Problems] Miranda stares awkwardly at Rein for a moment, before giving out a little laugh. "Oh, right. I keep forgetting you guys aren't used to this stuff yet." She turns the device over in her hands. "It's called an osmotic syringe. We use them to collect trace amounts o...

[Ecbatana] "Yeah, I'm pretty sure." Aiko replies, quietly taking inventory of herself anyway. If she were cursed, she'd be feeling feverish and her blood would be glowing. So far, no sign of those symptoms. "Anyway, if we're exchanging names... hi! I'm Aikobaz." She extends her ...

[Aiko's Bell Day] Koko watches the dove fly away, giving it an enthusiastic wave. She steps forward as if to follow, but stops at the edge of the windowsill, staring down at the ground far below. Oh geez that is a drop. The succubus laughs nervously and takes a step back, tapping her fingers togeth...

[Outdoor Movie Place] "Nope!" Koko replies cheerily, setting the snacks next to her as she lays out on the ground. "Well... I mean, I wasn't planning on it. Asami-kun asked me to check this place out, since he couldn't... he said he was too cold. I thought he'd probably want to know ...

[Ecbatana] "Oh, it's okay, don't worry about it." Aiko smiles, accepting the hand up and dusting herself off. "I don't feel cursed, and if I were I still wouldn't blame you. Not like you ran into me on purpose or anything!" Quite the opposite. "I could ask you most of the s...

[Skybase] "Can't hurt." Vlad echoed Henry's thoughts. "Worst case scenario, it doesn't do anything for you and, oh, well, you've got some nice lotion laying around." Vlad gestures toward the cabinet. "As for what these do? There's a lot. For instance, this..." He pulls...

[Outdoor Movie Place] (Un)fortunately, a familar face spots him first, and comes bounding up to him at the first available opportunity. " Konbanwa , Darko-kun!" "Shhh!" The orange-faced succubus smiles apologetically, but keeps up her approach and plops down next tk Darko. "...

[Paternity Problems] "No idea. I don't know any Quinns." The woman shrugs, but offers him a handshake anyway. "Miranda Cortez. I take it you're the Rein I've been hearing about all morning?" Braon grimaces and looks away. "...I only mentioned him once..." She mutters, ...

[Skybase] "Do I have cool spy gadgets? Ha! Does it snow in Moscow?" Vlad chortles, turning his attention to a large cabinet in the corner. "...Oh, wait, you... hm. I'm guessing you've never been. The answer is yes. It does. A lot." Vlad notes, starting by producing a pink plasti...

Skybase ”Well, yeah. But if I need to hit something far away I would probably just try to freeze it. Ghost perks.” Henry makes finger-guns and trying very hard to be cool as he sticks the shirt onto the scanner. [Skybase] The machine whirs as the table is drawn back into it, the door on the front c...

[For Whom The Bell Gnolls] -r... right- Blank shuffles nervously as his girlfriend disappears and he's left apparently alone with the damaged angel and instructions he's already forgetting. This is going to go badly, he can tell. He's going to mess this up and Khannie's going to get hurt and she's ...

[Paternity Problems] "...all night, the poor thing. Even after I fed her." Rein, and presumably Atya, will promptly be joined in the infirmary by Braon and a red-haired woman they've yet to meet; presumably one of the staff here at GLoG. They're still deep in conversation when they enter ...

[Aiko's Bell Day] Koko sniffs and lets out a little sob-laugh as the handkerchief is offered, despite herself. Silly Darko, that's not hers! But she'll use it anyway, dabbing off her eyes and loudly blowing her nose. Pnnnnooouuuu! It looks significantly less cool when she's done with it. "...I...

[Aiko's Bad Day] "There is not, and has never been, anything between us ." Sigil Aiko replies evenly, once again folding back the cover of her book. "If I am the personification of our gestalt form's principles- which I assume to be the case- we have had minimal interaction, and few ...

[Zany Antics]

"Sure! I can go have a look. You know what, I'll even go right now!" Koko waves in the general direction of the trash can. "Okay I love you bye bye!"

And with that, she turns and darts off.

Right into a wall.

"...I'm okay! Bye though!"

[Zany Antics] "Oh! Okay!" Koko chirps, smiling almost as brightly as Asami is glowing just now. "Glad to hear that! You had me worried for me a minute!" She then starts to climb back out of the can, stumbling a little as her ankle catches the rim, and she lands face-first on the...

[Ecbatana] Ooh, a magic statuette, huh? Isn't that interesting? ...It really is, but Aiko isn't actually here to shop. This is very much a social visit; she wants to know more about the buyers and sellers than what's being bought and sold. But, the actual people here seem a bit... well, impenetrabl...

[Aiko's Bad Day]

"Very well. Keep us up to date."

...

"And I have been instructed to tell you; good work, Lord Hamilton."

[Aiko's Bad Day] "I was not imitating anything. That is the logical way to answer the phone when the majority of inbound business must be put on hold." Babaz replies evenly. "So long as there is not an unacceptably high chance that Koko might disappear, or that she might be put in da...

[Aiko's Bad Day] "...That is unfortunate." It might occur to Eddie that the beep never actually came , and Old Aiko (or Babaz, as Koko had called her) did have a rather monotonous voice. "...But not entirely unexpected. Our wayward fragment did seem to carry our more erratic tendenci...

[Aiko's Bad Day] click! "You have reached the phone of Aikobaz Bloodplunder. Unfortunately, we are in the process of dealing with a rather urgent crisis, and as such will not be able to go about our usual business for the time being. However, if you leave me your name, number, and the nature o...

[Aiko's Bell Day] Had Koko thought this out a little more, she might have guessed that there was genuine magic involved. How did she get here so quickly? Why was it that she wasn't out of breath from running harder than she ever had in her life? Why was the pathway up here, which would have taken h...

[Zany Antics]

"Asami-kun I'm pretty sure they could see you from space." Koko points out. "And, um... I can't make out your face, but you do still seem upset. I don't think you set things on fire when you're happy."

[Aiko's Bad Day] "Yes. Well." Sigil Aiko stands and starts unbuttoning her blazer. "Partnership has never been an intuitive concept for me. Ironically, had there been three of us, I expect that would have gone much better." "...There are three of us ." Old Aiko points ...

[Aiko's Bad Day] "You say that as though I intended to be an authority for the entire school." Sigil Aiko sets the book in her lap. "And while I applaud the ambition of any who would attempt that, our sights have been set lower. We are a club president . Our responsibilities are to t...

[Aiko's Bad Day] For the most part, Koko seems to have tuned out Eddie again; what he's putting forward, about taking her to be looked over by a doctor or something, doesn't really quite seem to click. Instead, she preoccupies herself with continuing to hug Darko, once again hiding her face somewhe...

[Zany Antics] Asami will find himself with a succubus sitting opposite him (inasmuch as is possible within the confines of the trash can). Koko stares at him for a moment, not seeming to know whether she should get any closer or not. "...Are you okay, Asami-kun?" She asks, still watching ...
