The Nexus

[Charity Dinner] "Shall we then?" Reinholdt stops just short of offering the Queen his arm as they begin to walk, exploring the dinner. It's probably only a matter of time before they stumble upon Atya and Braon. "Is that right? What kind of smell is that?" It's always useful to...

[Face Time] Ilpholin is taken aback by Cessie's sudden defensiveness at the most cursory question. The nymph's brow furrows and this dissipates the face of her confusion quickly. "If you're quite done with your third rate police interrogation techniques, you'll note that I've not once mentione...

[Foxes and Felines] "Annie, you know I'm not above giving candy to those who diligently finish their math homework. You'd better get to it if you want the sugar blasted caramel pop," Reinholdt says as he grabs two freshly warmed bottles of formula off the stove. "And no Su-jin, you c...

[Charity Dinner] "As you wish," Reinholdt says with a light shrug. "We can look for her if you'd like." He wouldn't want to hold the Queen up forever, charming as her company might be. She may think the sharp teeth unsettling, but Rein only finds the biting potential more alluri...

[Face Time] Ilpholin almost looks ready to smile until Wenomir adds on a condition. A tax of information. Her face settles neutrally for a time as she processes a request she honestly didn't expect. She tilts her head to one side ever so slightly before replying. "... Why? I intended for this ...

[Fortress Bay] "It's not magic, it's just... who I am," Leah doesn't have a great explanation for herself honestly. Maybe the Drifter's handy scan device could tell her more. But she's pretty preoccupied at the moment. Because the catgirl solves her frog problem only to get a dog problem....

[Charity Dinner] "Hmm. Well-spoken. Atya is fortunate to have such a... spokesman? Or advisor?" The Queen leaves this question hanging in the air. "You speak for her with fervor and eloquence." [Charity Dinner] Reinholdt equally leaves the answer hanging in the air. "Fervor...

[Charity Dinner] "She's here somewhere. I'm certain she's more than eager to meet you as well." Having a literal queen backing your election efforts would be quite the boon after all. Reinholdt has much less to say about the fear of demons though. "I find it more effective to fear de...

[Charity Dinner] Reinholdt stands up a little straighter, but wonders why he's being sized up. The queen isn't planning to kidnap him and force him to join her slave concubinus harem, is she? That would be just... awful... "Oh all sorts of treasures. Monetary, Magical, Scientific, Hearts. I wo...

[Fortress Bay] "Hmph. Serves you r-eeeeeaiaai!!" Leah is rudely interrupted and shrieks as an icky frog leaps at her. She flails her hammer and the rest of herself wildly trying to get the frog away. It's fortunate that everyone backed off. That frog is going to get flung as far away as p...

[Charity Dinner] "I can't help it I'm afraid. I'm addicted to making a deep and lasting impression," Reinholdt says with a small grin. He performs his flourish. "Reinholdt, Treasure Hunter Extraordinaire." "You are correct as well, a number of fey do live here. I don't how ...

[Fortress Bay] What a good doggie. Leah wonders whether it belongs to the cute catboy or her now dirty protector. Maybe both? Were they together? A couple and their dog. Well Leah's not going to turn down an easy target. Once she's finished modifying her hammer, she'll step up. She'll wind up a hea...

[Fortress Bay] Leah draws back with a scowl. While Groack is being kept busy she puts a hand on her earthen hammer, a symbol being carved into the face as she does. A three pointed crown under a crescent with five rays extending from it. Extending out from the crown is a pair of cat ears. Leah does...

[Charity Dinner] Reinholdt's eyes certainly flick to the Queen's teeth, but Rein does not seem dissuaded, only spurned. "But of course, how could word not get out of your incredible beauty? Why it may actually be a crime against nature that your kingdom is squirreled away under a mountain so f...

[Charity Dinner] "I'm sure you will," Reinholdt says. Atya has a way to make a lot of things worthwhile. "Wait, someone you-" Oh no Atya's leaving! Feline expletives! Well, whatever it was, it probably wasn't important and Reinholdt certainly won't ruminate on it all evening for...

[Fortress Bay] If it was, then Lenny would have fallen off the cliff. Leah's arms being thrown up don't end up mattering much and she gasps as Lenny's hit. A wave of relief hits her as Lenny doesn't go off the edge. She's pretty sure falling off a cliff into the water below isn't as survivable as s...

[Face Time] "All battlefields possess an element of uncertainty Cessie. If I thought I knew everything the King could do, I don't think we'd be having this conversation. Or are you suggesting that Vigil's been compromised?" Cessie's at least a little fey herself. Perhaps she's heard the K...

[Charity Dinner] "Yeah, that makes sense," Reinholdt admits as he wraps a hand around Atya's hip for a moment, just to hold her. "I shall have to be careful not to get too far on your good side then. Maybe I'll borrow your flamethrower some time and change all the settings without ch...

[Charity Dinner] "I still can't believe you put that Phoenix painting up. I thought you loved it." It certainly stood in Reinholdt's mind as one of her better pieces of furniture. Perhaps that's why Reinholdt has purchased a hundred tickets for it, as well as a hundred more for the enchan...

[Face Time] "He's certainly fond of mentioning he has a dragon as a reason to support his claims of power." Ilpholin shrugs lightly. "But I don't find it particularly likely the dragon's left the King in Rag's swamp domain to hang around the urban environment the spear is in. Some dr...

[Face Time] Ilpholin slowly blinks as Wenomir quickly deflects away from the question that Cessie asked only for her to swiftly back him up. If they didn't want to know, they shouldn't have brought it up. "Uh-huh... but no, I'm not asking you to do my work for me. I can't dismiss the possibili...

[Fortress Bay] A bit of algae catches Leah's cheek and she hisses in pain and disgust. The catgirl wipes it off in a hurry, destroying it in the process somehow, though it leaves a bit of a welt where it once stood. "Oh that's it ," Leah's eyes flash dangerously. "Why don't you make ...

[Around the World in Eighty Posts] "We can learn." Reinholdt says before his lips press against hers. Gently for a while, letting her get used to the warm, soft sensation. When it breaks he looks at her for a moment, sensing her excitedness and leaning into it, his lips continuing along h...

[Face Time] Ilpholin nods lightly towards Wenomir. There was a real chance to strike a telling blow against the King in Rags. Cessie wants more assurances though and the nymph stares at her conservative counterpart for a moment. "Indolent. Complacent. Complicit." Ilpholin never breaks eye...

[Fortress Bay] "Hmph! Frogs can't be nobles!" The catgirl protests to the handsome drifter. The frog prince was a disgusting faker, gold digger, conman, and master of sexual harassment. Clearly. No princess would stoop to kissing one! "You left this place vacant for at least a hundre...

[Fortress Bay] "It can talk?!" Leah exclaims openly. It being the frog. She doesn't understand the barking dog at all. She does understand Lenny though and it's hard not to sense the jealous animosity. Leah frowns a little, not caring most of all for Lenny speaking for her and deciding wh...

[Fortress Bay] Seems like Leah's on the right track. At the very least mitigating some of the damage, even if she's still not sure about the source. That she's becoming a problem for the storm and its frogs is only confirmed with a giant aggressive one shows up out of a puddle. Leah, not expecting ...

[Face Time] Right. Ilpholin had almost forgotten that Wenomir has something against mortals who became powerful. She would enjoy the irony, but instead continues on without pause. "The first is on a very strict need to know basis. The second is the betrayal of someone close to him." "...

[Face Time] Ilpholin continues then. "There are three things necessary to defeat the King in Rags. I possess two of them. The third is a spear, said to be Jarowit's spear. Lost and passed down through the ages. I have tracked it to the current owner, what I believe to be a false heir to Jarowi...

[Fortress Bay] Oh! The breeze feels nice. And calls attention to the lack of wind. It's not something Leah would normally notice. The kind of thing you don't realize is missing until you find it. But she does suppose it's exceptionally unusual that there was no wind beside the ocean. Aren't beaches...
