The Nexus

[Skybase] "As in, the specifics of the sensors?" Vlad shrugs. "Not entirely sure. Something about ferrofluid, I think? I'm hazy on the details." He chuckles. "Ask me about the one piece of equipment where I haven't read the manual, why don't you. Ooh!" He pulls out a s...

[Aiko's Bad Day] Brignole Manor Sekhmet should have no trouble recognizing Aiko. Or noticing that there are two of her present, even if one of them looks to be older than Sekhmet herself (if only going by physical appearance). A fuller explanation can wait until they get inside, but it should still...

[For Whom The Bell Gnolls] Blanktavia lets out a low whistle as the bombardment begins. Octavia could do that? Wow. ...Oh. And she seems to expect him to be able to do that. That... seems like a tall order. And probably not an altogether comfortable sensation, turning his head into a cannon and eje...

Skybase Henry leans in curiously. "Hm. Those are pretty cool. I don't think my work will involve sending secret messages much but I'm sure this will be cool for the field agents." Do they have those? "You said you can work with ectoplasm? Do you have any sort of sensors for it?"...

[Aiko's Bad Day] The trip up to the house is mostly made in silence by the two Aikos; neither of them seem to be really absorbing the surroundings, apart from a few polite bows directed at passersby from sigil Aiko (or Aiai, as the older Aiko took to calling her right after getting off the phone). ...

[Aiko's Bad Day] Bloodplunder Residence "Oh, no, of course not! ...At least she's never bitten me. " Koko offers, continuing to fuss over the goat, giving her scritches back behind her horns. "Besides, goats don't bite anyway. They butt. " She giggles, apparently finding the tur...

Outdoor Movie Place The nose boops get a giggle from Darko, and face flushes slightly. Koko is clearly just trying to be polite, but it's nice to be called cool regardless. "Look who's talking, cool kid Koko. I saw a couple movies as a kid, but I don't really remember them. Something about a g...

[Paternity Problems] "Well, thanks to the miracles of modern medicine and beyond, you're looking at... about five minutes, if you're willing to trust an AI to do all the heavy lifting. We can do a more conventional test concurrently, if you would like; that'll be three to five days, probably.&...

Outdoor Movie Place "Huh, Asami asked you to come here too? That's weird," says Darko thoughtfully, "He told me to come here too, because he wants me to be cooler and watching movies is cool? I haven't seen many so maybe he's right." Weird coincidence! And it's not even that col...

[Aiko's Bad Day] "...You say that, of course, with the full knowledge that she will not." Old Aiko points out, retrieving the sudoku book and returning it to her sigil-covered counterpart. "Quite." She agrees. The rest of the ride to Brignole Manor will probably prove to be pret...

[Ecbatana] "Who I am doesn't matter. What matters is where I am, which is between you and them." She nods toward the crowd. "They're not hurting you without hurting me. And if they were planning on hurting you for hurting me, they're not going to accomplish much." And if they tr...

[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...
