The Nexus

[Maid Café and Book Signing - Catgirls and Eye Candy ] "Right? The whole point of education is to learn what you don't know! I think..." Rachel may have dropped a few grades she should have stuck in, but it's fine. She has her own business after all. The Dragon Man was too embarrassed to ...

[Xar'cha Estate - First Floor] Ilpholin lets out a little sigh and turns to face Svartha. "Did the ripped clothes and blood tip you off? Most people would just wonder how good a time that roll in the hay was." Ilpholin's lips press into a thin line. So Svartha pays attention to the local ...

"Is that what happened to you? Did Vaultkeeper Sato come around and shove your souls into the walls? Or is he in there with you all?" Can't trust disembodied soul crystals. They probably were trying to steal all the good things for themselves! All Reina has for her trouble is a handle. An...

[Xar'cha Estate - First Floor] Ilpholin's loud motorcycle sounding hovercycle clears a path through the encamped Phyrexians as she returns, driving slow as the elves come in behind her and Mecha-Squiggles stomps up the rear. Once inside, she directs the elves to the lower levels along with Squiggle...

[Maid Café and Book Signing - Catgirls and Eye Candy ] "Why would you know magic before going to a school that teaches you how magic works? That doesn't make sense to me. Even if that's how it always works in the books. It shouldn't!" The books were backwards! "You should consider ge...

[Around the World in Eighty Posts] "Unknown. Unknown." SEBI unhelpfully replies. Though it does at least provide an addendum. "This particular Dyson Sphere emerged after my landing at our previous coordinates." The spaceship wasn't in space when it went up, alas! "Yeah. I j...

[Maid Café and Book Signing - Catgirls and Eye Candy ] "Thank you Jeeves," Rachel says with a smile as she takes her tea. It makes it harder to clap during the performance, but Rachel will just have to make up for it with more enthusiastic cheers. When it comes to a conclusion, Rachel wil...

[The Road to Hell] Ilpholin tsks as Kraujo slips into the portal. She's not stabbing after him and sticking her arm into a strange hole in the fabric of the universe. With a twist the hovercycle turns towards the side of the road. Much as she'd like to destroy the thing, she doesn't have the resour...

"Out?" Reina mulls for a second with a frown. "I don't want out . I want to stay and... alleviate the rooms of their dusty unused artifacts." Rob the place blind. "Why, does this tower specifically do anti-wishes then? Isn't that directly contrary to... I dunno... stars in ...

[The Road to Hell] Kraujo gets his moment of time, Ilpholin having to block instead of dodge. Her leg seems to be moving better than it was a little bit ago and someone observant can see the flesh where the injury is slowly knitting itself closed. Slowly being the operative word here, unfortunately...

[A Singular Hallway] Maria and Harley may not get along very well. "You can be friends with your sister." Maria winces a little as she considers the statement a little longer. "I'm not friends with mine, but I heard it's possible." Maybe they should start a club for people who a...

[The Road to Hell] Ilpholin almost laughs as she blocks the decapitation with her hair. It was bitterly amusing. A strange catharsis rolling over her as the choker around her neck seems to tighten for a brief moment. A flicker of fear may reflect in her eyes even. All sorts of conflicting and sudde...

[The Road to Hell] "And we're back to where we started. Or weren't you paying attention when I told you exactly where I'm not going? No... no, I suspect you aren't much the type to pay attention, are you?" Ilpholin asks nonchalantly, as if she weren't concerned about Kraujo in the least. ...

[A Singular Hallway] Oh no. A romance novel of trashy or quality nature! Maria holds it like one would a particularly dirty sock as she puts it back on the shelf. What mad person reads such things? There's so many more interesting topics, like the stock crash boom war of 13uo6. Maria is torn, but u...

[A Singular Hallway] Maria will put the mask down gingerly on the desk. Is this man really a member of HALO? Did he suggest this horrid room was his? What kind of monster has NO bo- Oh, he does have books. Lots of them. Where did they all come from? Why hadn't she seen them before? Maria breathes a...

[The Road to Hell] Ilpholin's sword suddenly gives to Kraujo, parting as if he had snapped it two by his next ferocious strike. "No, you're from Hell." Yet instead of separating completely, the sword slams back together around the Kraujo blade, attempting to hold fast. Much like a pair of...

[Airbase] "Specieologists are, ironically, perhaps the most endangered species of them all," Maria notes. It's tragic how their culture was usurped by a bunch of scientists too. Maria starts to scream as her arm is sawed in two before realizing it isn't necessary as she isn't being horrib...

[Room 404] A dark, looming chill coalesces in the back corner of the room. Yawning out of the abyssal void that seems to overtake all light floats a shadowy cloaked figure, features obscured all except two inhuman eyes peering out from, filled with an inky malevolence. The cold emanating from the v...

[The Road to Hell] "You would lecture me on pain and suffering?! While you demons of Hell's Bend prey on the weak and desperate? While you tear away a mortal's last vestiges of hope on a gamble or a fleeting moment of pleasure? While you gleefully deconstruct souls into red goop to snort?! Lol...

[Airbase] Maria glances askew at Seraphina, partially to look away from the process that's happening dangerously close to her wrist. At least she's keeping it quite still, be it out of fear or out of practice. "I'm uncertain that most speciologists would qualify you as human under the proper a...

[The Road to Hell] Ilpholin eyes the bowler hat suspiciously, finding it especially untrustworthy and disliking its existence. Whips. The demon dares to come at her with whips . This demon knew more about her past than the pair were letting on or were changing themselves to reflect something of tho...

[The Road to Hell] So the only person Ilpholin passed nearby when the sparks happened was indeed the cause. At least there didn't seem to be an accomplice nearby or they'd have probably reacted too. The nymph stands on her bike and pushes off in a backflip, suddenly shifting the hoverbike's traject...

[Maid Café and Book Signing - Catgirls and Eye Candy ] Rachel's eyes spend a little time watching the help leave. Maybe a little more than necessary before returning their attention to June. "Well, a lot of things have value specifically because they aren't used for their intended purpose. Hec...

[The Road to Hell] The hovercycle riding phyrexian nymph can't claim to be expecting hitchhikers. A surprising number of people still walk places without the need for vehicles at all. Still, having left Hell's Bend Ilpholin has slowed down from rocketing pace to speeding loudly. And loudly does she...

[Around the World in Eighty Posts] The only hint that Reinholdt knew what he said or meant it is a surreptitious wink that could honestly mean anything at all! There's so many things to wink about. "It's a... umm..." Reinholdt trails off in thought. "Well it's... I mean... I've been ...

Reina covers her muffs with her paws, burying her head against the floor for a moment. Goddessesdammit, why are all these souls such overdramatic babies? A number would have sufficed. Or a descriptor. How many of them are talking right now? Doesn't matter. She is done talking to them and asking them...

[Airbase] "Oh. Yes, I suppose I should sleep," Maria says with all the conviction of someone who has no intention of sleeping. Despite looking tired and a little pale and clearly in need of sleep. "These things will get in the way of my reading," Maria says, knowing full well th...

[Maid Café and Book Signing - Catgirls and Eye Candy ] Whatever's got June blushing goes right over Rachel's head with a blank stare. She's already considering the cosplay problems she's had when it comes to juggling props in your hand while staying in character and trying to buy things from the ve...

"So you are capable of more than two words a time." Reina notes nonchalantly. "Well, when the tower self-destructs, you probably won't have to worry about being trapped anymore. How many souls are we talking?" Reina will turn pink and start flying to get a better look at the doo...

[Airbase] "It's been anything but convenient," Maria says with a pout, eyes still unable to meet anyone else's. Still, it's good to hear that at least the metal isn't some sort of magical impossible to remove chain. Or a reforming one. Like those trick candles on a birthday cake. That wou...
