Re: [Nexus] HALO 179: Under New MAGnagement!
You do look like you got done swimming or some such recently. I'm planar creation from planes of existence beyond solely for the purpose of destroying evil beings with maximum prejudice.
Grant says as though he's reciting an ad off the back of a magazine.
Or at least that's what it said on my order form.

Eira looks confused and says, "Order form? So, you're like, a mail-order action hero or something?"

Re: [Nexus] HALO 179: Under New MAGnagement!
Something like that. I don't quite understand it myself. I've been here for a couple years now. I just disappeared a while back.
Grant says with a shrug.

If you're senior members, explain why she just tried to shoot me!
Tenet rolls her eyes.
And do you see any bullet holes behind you? If she looks, she will notice a definite lack of holes where the shots should have hit, and she may remember a lack of the sounds of the shots hitting anything (if she's able to discern such things normally).
And when someone suddenly bursts in and points a gun at me, I find it a little silly when they get huffy when I point a gun at them.

[The Range]
"Oh, I dunno. Maybe start with a shoot-off," Dani says...far too innocently.

[Crypt]
Tenet flexes her hands; the blurry ghosts of two gun-shapes flicker over her fingers. I can do that easy.

I am loyal to the ends of space and time, and would even gladly kill myself if I was ordered to.

She giggled, counting on their similarity to Erin and Carrie to sow Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt...

Sam doesn't want to exclude Carrie, so she leaves the firearm where it is. What would you like to do instead?
[Ordination]
Kynegetis puts her hands on her hips and looks down on Chantelle. So, what, you want to kill necromancers for me?
[Somewhere Else]
A plotclone of Kyne could come across a plotclone of Eira.
[Resurrection]
The beautiful woman remains unconscious, draped over the curvacious ghost's shoulder. Probably shouldn't let her get shot.
-
Re: [Nexus] HALO 179: Under New MAGnagement!
Ordination
Chantelle, still kneeling, nods.
Yes.

Re: [Nexus] HALO 179: Under New MAGnagement!
[Hallway Heist]
"Consider it a test," Arina purrs...even as she shimmered into intangibility and started walking fowards, intending to walk right through both Tenent and Caelynn on her way towards the exit!
[The Range]
Dani nods, looking to Carrie curiously!
-
Re: [Nexus] HALO 179: Under New MAGnagement!
[Range]
Carrie thinks.
Hmm... I'd say walk on the beach now that the weather's nicer, but... She sighs and pats her wheelchair ruefully.

Dani nods, looking to Carrie curiously!
Mind telling me what you're doing with that lady then?
Caelynn questions suspiciously

Tenet walks with Arina, rolling her eyes. Sure, when you're about five clearance levels higher, maybe. Until then, this is need-to-know info.
You don't need to know.

Grant says with a shrug.
Eira nods and says, "Ah...I see. But that's, like, really weird. Weird even for here. Who would sell an action hero? And what action hero would let someone sell them?"
-
Re: [Nexus] HALO 179: Under New MAGnagement!
Well like I said, I was bred for the sole purpose of "crushing evil beings with maximum prejudice". I'm guessing I was sold off before I was born via a birth/breeding contract with whomever created me.
-
Re: [Nexus] HALO 179: Under New MAGnagement!
"Breeding? Oh, I remember something like that! So, you're like that sheep?"
-
Re: [Nexus] HALO 179: Under New MAGnagement!
That's a fair comparison, in a way. I'm just very dangerous livestock.

Eira smiles sympathetically and asks, "Aw..You want a hug?" Her voice is, oddly, completely free of sarcasm.
-
Re: [Nexus] HALO 179: Under New MAGnagement!
Grant tilts his head to the side slightly with a curious expression.
Sure.
-

Sure.
And so, hugging happens! It's...pretty damp and very cold, actually. Eira seems to sort of be huggling Grant, not willing to let him go, but it probably almost feels like the damp is seeping into his bones.
-
Re: [Nexus] HALO 179: Under New MAGnagement!
The feeling actually makes Grant laugh.
Feels like I ran through a sprinkler. Very refreshing.
-
Re: [Nexus] HALO 179: Under New MAGnagement!
Well, Eira's not letting go any time soon...She hugs sorta like an avalanche, as in burying, cold, and exhausting...Not the she seems to notice, or care. She's even so happy, a small snow flurry has formed above the two.
-
Re: [Nexus] HALO 179: Under New MAGnagement!
Grant begins to visibly shiver and looks down at the little Goddess.
Quite the show.
-
Re: [Nexus] HALO 179: Under New MAGnagement!
Pesty is in fact coming up behind Grant; Eira may see a young adult woman with teal-streaked black hair and feline ears looking curiously at the pair, tail swishing.
The wedding ring she wears matches Grant's.
Must be the missus!
-
Re: [Nexus] HALO 179: Under New MAGnagement!
In her childish obliviousness, Eira keeps clinging to Grant not noticing his shivering, or, for that matter, Pesty coming up behind Grant...Instead, she simply murmers, "Mm...You're nice and warm...Thank you..."
-
Re: [Nexus] HALO 179: Under New MAGnagement!
Grant points down at the small goddess and says to Pesty, "I think this one likes me. Odd, isn't it?"
-
Re: [Nexus] HALO 179: Under New MAGnagement!
Pesty flails a little in jealous marital distress, but calms when she determines that Eira is in fact 1) cute and 2) not trying to steal her husbando.
Is she snowing on you?
-
Re: [Nexus] HALO 179: Under New MAGnagement!
Eira looks up at Pesty's voice, and smiles and asks, "Would you like a hug, too? Hugs are nice. They're a perfect way for me to show people how great the snow and the wind and the rain are."
-
Re: [Nexus] HALO 179: Under New MAGnagement!
I think she's like... Twelve or something.
Grant whispers to Pesty.
Eira this is my wife, Pesty.
-
Re: [Nexus] HALO 179: Under New MAGnagement!
Pesty hesitantly nods. She's really adorable... but wind and rain and snow are not fun for this science kitty.
-
Re: [Nexus] HALO 179: Under New MAGnagement!
Eira smiles and says brightly, "Come on in, then!" A gust of wind picks up behind her, trying to encourage her to make the hug a threesome. Meanwhile, Grant is probably feeling quite cold and wet by now...This is probably a not-good thing. She might give him pneumonia or something by accident.
-
Re: [Nexus] HALO 179: Under New MAGnagement!
Grant starts to shiver violently.
Eira, you might want to let go.
-
Re: [Nexus] HALO 179: Under New MAGnagement!
Pesty immediately squirms unhappily, not happy about the Cleveland Hugs. Aaaaaaaa you're all coldy and stuff!
