The Nexus

[Birb Babysitting] Valerie smiles wider, clearly enjoying the explanation of their efforts. " Well thank you for helping my girls. It looks like they put you through the ringer. " The mud and water are quite evident. " You know, I don't think I've seen you around here before. Are you...

[Youthful Indiscretions] One of Atsede's eyebrow rocketed up at that, the changeling not able to quite tell how much of that was a joke. "What, you serious?" A pause. Strawberry was really cute, to be fair. But wouldn't that feel so weird and awkward? Maybe he was just pulling her leg. Th...

[Youthful Indiscretions] "I guess so." Atsede scratched the back of her head and gave an awkward chuckle. "Well, I promise not to steal her away from you right under her nose. Not that I particularly think anyone's capable of doing that." She gave a half-joke, half-assurance. &q...

Even as she perks up, Roxanne is a little bit too preoccupied with her thoughts to notice Sally's approach until she's right there. "Oh, uh, thank you! I mean, I don't need one, but I'll gladly take you up on the offer!" The harpy smiled warmly back. "Doing better for sure though.&quo...

[Birb Babysitting] Orlane takes the stone and tried fitting it in place. " Yeah, that one works! " The two continue building up the lower walls. It's a good arrangement here, with Kes helping in place of Eshe, who's on puppy duty. Before long, however, someone seems to take note of them. ...

[Around the World in Eighty Posts] The change in atmosphere does cause Sylvia to relax somewhat. Very slightly. She's still jittery, peering anxiously around, but at least there's not so many dark corners for hypothetical spooky alien monsters to be lurking. The flickering lights from under SEBI's ...

[Birb Babysitting] Orlane points out some rough proportions to start out so they all have the right idea. Then she places down the first stone. They can all pitch in on the foundation, but then the second lair approaches. Orlane get some of the clay and slap it over a section, then she tries to fit...

[Youthful Indiscretions] Atsede looks a little bit indignant at Eliseo's response, though to be fair, it was hard to blame him. The more she thought, the more obvious it seemed. Hindsight was a bitch like that. "But I thought that, like, I mean, you're both such lovebirds- I didn't think she'd...

[Youthful Indiscretions] The changeling stared at Eliseo, recognition starting to dawn on her face. "What? No. " She started to think back on a few things, while looking over at the peacefully sleeping figure of Anastasia. Just how much Ana had been blushing tonight at Eliseo's odd teasin...

[Youthful Indiscretions] " Uh huh. " Okay this is pretty funny. He grins wider. " You think she's into anyone? You know, girls. I think I've noticed a thing or two. Not that I mind. I'm not the jealous type. " [Youthful Indiscretions] Atsede tilted her head, starting to get conf...

[Birb Babysitting] The girls squeal and scamper out of the splash zone, too little too late. Eshe comes back in and gives Silver a pat on the head before they continue back toward the cabin. The girls chatter a little bit on the walk back, but once they reach the cabin it's work time. " Set yo...

[Feline Family Friction] Elizabeth isn't exactly wrong. The sound of sirens has started to near the area, though if her ears are keen enough she might be quick to place them as ambulance sirens. If Blanche notices them, she doesn't seem to comment - though she does frown as Liz suggests working els...

[Around the World in Eighty Posts] Sylvia lets out a similar sigh of relief, as she still hadn't been entirely sure SEBI would actually listen to her. She smiles shyly back at him a little bit proudly with the compliment. Did she do something right for once? Had she finally achieved something? And ...

[Youthful Indiscretions] Eliseo arches an eyebrow. Okay, he's not sure this is the best plan, but it seems right in his brain right now. " Damn, you really haven't noticed? " He smiles evilly. " I thought miss 'I'm gonna bag every girl on the cheer team' would be more clued into thes...

[Youthful Indiscretions] " Oh don't worry about me, I've been there, done that. Besides, we have rapport by now. I'll try and smooth things over. " Eliseo says with an easy shrug. Okay, he might be exaggerating a bit, but that's his problem. " And don't worry about missing chances to...

[Youthful Indiscretions] " Hey, don't sweat it. " Eliseo waves his hand. " Just relax for a little bit; lay low. We'll let everyone else go to sleep first. He explains conspiratorially. " Me, I'm stuck. Our parents know each other and I gotta keep up the best impressions. But yo...

[Birb Babysitting] The two girls erupt into giggles. No he certainly hasn't. Eshe gives Silver some affirming pats for his efforts regardless. " I think we got enough now. " Orlane observes, looking in each of the buckets. " And some extra on our clothes. We can start construction. &...

[Around the World in Eighty Posts] The list of punishments didn't sound all so bad at first, especially as some of it was functionally meaningless to them, but it rapidly got a lot more worrying. Sylvia's eyes widened in fear, before the door closing behind them caused her to yelp. She clung to Rei...

[Birb Babysitting] Eshe cackles with glee as she gets splattered with mud and water and clay. Orlane shrieks and gets to her feet, but she laughs too even as she tries to shield her hair with her hands. " Siiiilver! " She complains. " He's helping like a good boy. " Eshe praises...

[Youthful Indiscretions] Obriane looks to Ana and Eliseo as they argue for Atsede to stay. As they end up convincing her she gestures to Annie's bed. "Then decide among yourself whose sleeping in that bed and whose sleeping on the floor." Obriane declares as she look among the teenagers. ...

[Around the World in Eighty Posts] Sylvia raised an eyebrow at Reinholdt's choice of 'ranks' for them, though she supposed she had nothing better to offer. She didn't exactly want to have to start roleplaying the part of a maid though- this outfit was embarrassing enough already. Plus, she didn't k...

[Birb Babysitting] The two girls shovel with her, taking big, sloppy scoops of dripping clay and dumping it into their buckets. It seems to be plentiful, so they'll have no problem filling the containers completely. Part way through the process, though, Eshe gets a bright idea. She stands up, locat...

[Around the World in Eighty Posts] Syvlia jumps at the unexpected voice, letting out a small yelp and immediately shrinking behind Reinholdt. Nothing terrible happens though, and the room starts to warm quite pleasantly. The bunnygirl peers out around him rather sheepishly. She can't see the source...

[Birb Babysitting] " Mommy says I'm too young and could get hurt if I don't know what I'm doing. " Eshe laments. Truly she suffers. Orlane, sadly, is deaf to her sister's struggles. " It's right over here. " She steps to the edge of the lake and points down. " Right under t...

[Feline Family Friction] Blanche watches Liz work quietly, even if she does raise a brow at a couple saved documents. Her interest isn't piqued enough to investigate or feel any concern about it though. This was probably for the original purpose the girl came here for, and as far as she was concern...

[Youthful Indiscretions] "Good, then they can pick you up here and the problem is solved." Obriane concludes with a gesture at Atsede. "So why don't you give them a call? They could probably give Eliseo a ride too. Since I know that his mom can be pretty stringent when it comes to hi...

[Youthful Indiscretions] "Atsedeeee!" Ana gives her a pleading look. "C'-c'mon, you uh- can jus' stay the night. I-it's fine, and like - less trouble that way." Also she reallllly doesn't want Atsede to get in a fight with her moms. Then she'd be like, super not allowed to hang ...

[Youthful Indiscretions] Now all Obriane's attention is directed at Eliseo. Ana and Atsede just existing somewhere beyond the purview of her perception at this moment. She does not look charmed. "I'm not letting you leave this house in that condition, mister. There's two options. Either you sl...

[Birb Babysitting] " Wow, really? You're so lucky! ' Eshe says breathlessly. Where's that luck for her??? Oh well. "Yeah I wish. I wanted to learnt o ride Hastur. She's our big hyena pet." She adds. " But you're too young. " Orlane adds, her tone suggesting some kind of ech...

[Around the World in Eighty Posts] "A rare or new piece of technology" was a little vague, to the point that Sylvia felt it was probably a little bit cheating, but she supposed the qualifier of it being rare or new would narrow things down a bit. And there was another wild story from Rein...
