Nexu?
I'm still shattered from Tuesday. Poke me if I've forgotten anywhere, because my brain is scrambled and my body full of aches.
Silliness aside, I'm opposed to the name 'Nexu' for the critters simply because pluralizing it would be needlessly confusing. I gather that was the point, but I get the feeling the amusement will wear off the first few times and then it will become merely annoying.
Kris' point about "Nexu," "Nexus," and nexu is solid...
For one thing, if I ever place a character in an arena I might want to use a nexu, you know? That things was pretty cool. I propose "ollie" be used instead, unless you all find a better name.
I like Meeps or Ollies and avoiding confusion wherever possible.
If it was ever a question, my vote remains on the Ollie side of the force
FFRP in a nutshell, basically:

"DANCE, PUPPETS, DANCE!"
Neato!
P.S. Having the three fingers look like that makes it look more alien than stickfigure-y
o.o
...
Awesome.
That's completely accurate!
Up until the point that the characters decide to have a mental breakdown/walk away/go off and do something stupid without you ever expecting it.
*looks at basically all my characters*
The plural of Nexu would be Nexu.
"This is a Nexu. My house has an infestation of Nexu. Fourteen Nexu just stole all my watermelons."
Of the suggestions so far I personally like Meeps (because meeps!), Nexu because it coincides well with the suggested lore and it sounds silly, and Otalots if only because it sounds vaguely like it could be a name for an actual animal.
I'm not terribly fond of ollie. Probably because it's a name for a skateboarding trick. Sick radical moves aren't cute animals!
Reinholdt was working with Raril on a lead with the explosives. Just needs to actually happen. Though someone else running their own separate investigation wouldn't hurt.
Okay.
Ollies
Otalots
Meeps
Nexu
You may only vote for one!
Ooooooone!
Ollies.
I'm not super-fond of it, but it ought to avoid confusion.
Hmm... I'll go with Ollies. A group of them is called Otelots (like a flock of crows is a murder). They speak in Meeps (meows, barks, chirps) and their genus is Nexu.
Meeps, tried, true, and classic.
Oh, and on the topic of Zee, don't forget she also asked Magtok to figure out who blew her up.
Random question to the Ollies voters since that's the majority at the moment.
Would that be the singular or the plural?
Would one be called an Ollie? Or an Ollies?
Meep meep.
I'd go for Meeps:smalltongue:
I too shall throw my vote in for Meeps!
Mostly because Ollies is already a thing.
Vote disqualified because two things isn't one =P Please choose one and try again.Quote:

I suppose I'll also go for Meeps, then, since Nexu has no votes.
Just to be contrary to everyone else, I'm voting Otalot.
Mostly because "Ollies" is weird with plurality.
And "Meep" is a noise.
Also "Nexu" seems like someone passed out when trying to write "Nexus".
My intent was for Ollie to be singular and Ollies plural, but whichever you want is fine.
I was aware that Ollie was a skateboard trick, but who would mistake an adorable Ferret otter creature with a skateboard trick.
Vote Ollies cuz it was my idea.
Current vote!
Meep: 5
Ollie: 4
Otalot: 1
Now I'ma go take a nap.
Voting won't be closed until tomorrow I think. *nodnod*
For the record, if they're called Meeps instead of Ollies, Imma gonna make a Meep named Ollie who rides around on a rocket-powered skateboard doing sweet skate-tricks and stickin' it to the man.:smalltongue::smallcool:
