The Nexus

"I am. Me name's Ugthurz. These are my sons, Yamarz and Grugthar, and my niece, Hope." The middle-aged half-orc speaks first, the older quarter orc waving first when they're introduced. "Mama asked for Yamarz, Grugthar and Hope, but Grug was with me learnin' life skills. You this emp...

Extraction Plan: CD "A fair bit. They had me for about two weeks." Fifi replies first. "Nothing. The Guild never had me- I went straight from Miss Kitty to the guy you rescued me from." Magoo is unaware she was rescued from Klaus by Klaus. Neither does Fifi, unless Klaus would t...

Trollfinger Residence "That leaves you rather limited for choice, if you don't want pink. Which is a pity; I think pink would suit you." Cheasadh also digs through, and... well, there's lavender and other shades of pale purple, a few dark pinks that look like red in the right light, and s...

[Sky Library] Geun don't need clarification to which question Benedict said no to. He recognized that look in his eyes. He knew of dragons. "Yes, while the imperial propaganda tells us that the divine dragons are benevolent and kind few have actually seen one up close. It's nothing like being ...

"I was going to Riftline home, just in case." Natalie smiles, but reaches out to hug her girlfriend. She's not drunk in a pub before, but she's tried alcohol- which is how she knows she likes cider- and is aware of the risks of using the same travel method home as she used to get here. Sh...

"Honey an' kumis should be easy to get, we're in a pub." Mrs. Bloodplunder gestures to the bar, where Zee is potentially already collecting honey and kumis. Or perhaps not, since if she's listening to the conversation she might disagree with the plan of tying drunk fairies to a saddle in ...

[Sky Library] Geun let's out a nervous laugh. "That's... not strictly true. I can't have been here for much longer than a year. Not that it's always easy to keep track of the time in here. Before I, ah, came here I traveled around a lot. Both in and outside the empire. Since while this buildin...

[Briefing Room] Frigate is soon followed by Solenoid. The effeminate robot is shaped just like an average human woman, but with silver metal plating for skin. She's wearing her signature red backless/sleeveless sweater, and has her sniper rifle and rail cannon on her back. In a divot between her sh...

Portal Cheasadh stands out a lot amongst the goblins. She's not the tallest in the group, even if she and Brinika are a few years older than most of her cousins. She is, however, the only blonde, and her pale skin is a European shade that wouldn't look out of place on a human. Her blue eyes sparkle...

Mrs. Bloodplunder is no longer twelve. She is, however, still strong enough to rip Death's fingers off during an arm-wrestling match. And since she married 'the strongest man in the world' and was still able to wrestle him to the ground and rip off all his clothes on their wedding night, I don't thi...

[Sky Library] "Of course I was aware of it. It's what makes this place so remote and why visitors like yourself so rare. " Geun gestures to Benedict. "Especially a pair as well-traveled as yourself." But before he starts to lead them deeper into the library he does seem to have ...

Extraction Plan: CD Both Fifi and Magoo nod and accept a glass of cola, though Fifi would prefer water, if available. Fifi keeps glancing back at the door, worried about her friend, even if she knows nobody here would harm Samantha. Neither would also be much help directly infiltrating Doctor Maste...

"No, he weren't. He was wrong, He weren't the strongest man in the world, and I knew it. Only he didn't." She did not, in case Aikobaz was wondering, marry her brother. "The night before a battle, we left traps baited with honey and kumis overnight, collected the drunk fairies before...

"Hah! Me grandkids can't get me to stop tellin' that story, and they've been tryin' for years ! 'Sides, that's not the fun part." Mrs. Bloodplunder's grin is bright and full of promise, though she doesn't go further. "Don't wish on stars. They're bright, but cold, and distant. If the...

"Don't judge a wine by the skin. Death don't have muscle, so he works different. There's a reason most people lose when they challenge Death." Mrs. Bloodplunder doesn't look like much, but that baggy pink cardigan hides a lot. "Yes. I wished to marry the strongest man alive, and I di...

Someone else arrives, an eighteen-year-old girl with straight black hair brushing her shoulders and bright green eyes. She's wearing a black sleeveless top and a pair of loose khaki knee-length shorts, with a battered and repaired red rucksack slung over her back. She's quick to step away from the a...

The dragon roars again, the sound delayed and echoing oddly, and shakes its head from side to side. It doesn't take the muffin, instead waiting for it to be placed down before swooping in and the muffin disappears.

Briefing Room Frigate is the first to arrive, it seems. The warforged is a bulky construct, resembling a cross between a suit of full plate and a statue, with bronze clad stone housing ticking cogs and whirring gears of brass. His head is mounted directly to his shoulders like a turret, with the ab...

Evie turns to the little purple dragon. "Hey, welcome---and, uh, how can I help you today?" She's not quite sure how to handle this sort of janky dragon-thing, but she hopes its order isn't hard to take. The little dragon roars again, and jabs its tail at the white chocolate chip muffins,...

[Sky Library] Geun looks between them, appearing at loss for words for a moment. "...well, I must compliment you on your gana then." So they were foreigners after all. He seems to relax once he realizes this. "You must have come a long way to get here as I must admit my ignorance of ...

Natalie grins and waves when Karasu enters, and stands up to kiss her girlfriend's cheek before they sit down. "Careful, it's sweet cider from Applekick farms. It's made from apples, it's sweet, and it's definitely got a kick. All in all, well named, and quite nice." Natalie smiles.

Fireworks "No, like... human, girl, aged between twelve and fifteen. I can't smell magic, so I don't know if she was a sorceress. Boys smell different to girls, elves smell different to humans or goblins, and people's smell changes as they get older. Puberty, y'know? Other stuff, too." Pu...

A dragon flies in. It's a rather small dragon, about the size of a cat. It has glossy purple scales, leathery wings and a crown of horns. Its body is mostly tail and neck, and it prefers to hover and glide over landing anywhere. There's also a slight... distortion to it, things behind it seeming to ...

Trollfinger Residence "I was kinda hoping I'd get them back, since even with illusion you don't have enough hair to have braids full-time. So I'd prefer you didn't dye them, thanks." Cheasadh also tries shushing Khannie's offer of illusion; embarrassing the strigoi boy was pretty much her...

Extraction Plan: CD As mentioned, the Slaver's Guild is known to be making a visit to Doctor Master in a few days time; the day after tomorrow. They are also far easier to follow than Miss Kitty is. It's unfortunate they won't have warning before hand, though. Magoo and Fifi will go to Klaus' offic...

Cloud Castle- Skeleton Carriage The man seems somewhat taken aback by the way Benedict speaks but masks it by bowing once again, seemingly out of reflex. "My apologies, I didn't realize you were from the empire as well. You looked... so different." Then he quickly decides to change the to...

Natalie leaves Konstanze to her new conversation partner, instead chatting to Zee. "It sounds nice, and I will." Natalie grins and takes a quick sip of her cider and her eyes widen. "Ooh, that's nice." --- "I've met him three times. When he comes for you, you can challenge h...

"I was eighteen in November, but, uh, hadn't been able to get my hands on any ID in case someone asked for it." So not her birthday, but the day she was given something to prove she's eighteen and therefore able to order a drink in a pub. "It's good, a bit weird, but I was surrounded...

Extraction Plan: CD The yellow microcar driven by Miss Kitty, the only known assistant to Doctor Master, has an annoying tendency to disappear. Nothing weird about it, just a relatively common car driving faster than people can walk, especially down alleyways and narrow footpaths where larger vehic...

"I'm not actually new, I've been in the Nexus since I was eleven. Just, y'know, couldn't order alcohol before. Uh... sweet, please." Natalie turns to the wraith sat next to her and smiles. "My name's Natalie; I'm pleased to meet you Konstanze." - "Wizards? Nah, 'fraid not. ...
