Reelshka's still sitting by the boathouse, wondering why the GLoGers aren't more interested in a stranger in their campsite.

Re: [Nexus] Good League of Good LV: Witty Title And/Or Song Reference
The curtain may rise on our two lovebirds. :smallamused:
-
Re: [Nexus] Good League of Good LV: Witty Title And/Or Song Reference
Eko and Defenestrate are probably still near the boathouse, if Reelshka wants to know more about them.

Two boys enter GLoG. One has dark hair and is wearing jeans and a blue t-shirt. The other is blonde, wearing a pair of blue shorts and a green t-shirt. These boys appear to be aged about eight, but they could be seven or nine; it is hard to tell. Both have green eyes. These two head for the Infirmary.
*****
Another child enters GLoG; this one is Natalie. She heads straight for the Infirmary. Natalie is wearing a denim dress with several rips and tears in it, as though she'd been forced through some thorny plants; the same is true for her red rucksack. She's closer to the Infirmary than the two boys.

Toby's sitting on the infirmary steps, looking out at the camp and smoking his pipe. The three new visitors catch his interest and he watches as they come closer.

Re: [Nexus] Good League of Good LV: Witty Title And/Or Song Reference
[Infirmary]
Jamie beams at her friend, stepping back from the hug after a moment. "Mommy says she sees Holly, so we'll all be together again soon!"
(Since she and Quinn share a permament mental link, of course.)

[Cabin 8]
Indeed, the curtain might rise...
...presumably on the two stepping out of the shower? :smallamused:

Re: [Nexus] Good League of Good LV: Witty Title And/Or Song Reference
Or Shrike carrying Zamira out of it. :smalltongue:
-
Re: [Nexus] Good League of Good LV: Witty Title And/Or Song Reference
Reelshka's examining the boats. She's still a little intimidated by Eko and Defenestrate. Quinn seemed nice enough, but she wonders if the other people in charge know about her presence. Goblin bosses hate not knowing what's going on.
-
Re: [Nexus] Good League of Good LV: Witty Title And/Or Song Reference
[Cabin 8]
That works too. If she's able to carry her. :smalltongue:
"That was the most fun food-fight we've had in awhile," Shrike says teasingly, grinning broadly.
-
Re: [Nexus] Good League of Good LV: Witty Title And/Or Song Reference
Natalie, the girl in the front, has not noticed the two boys behind her. Natalie smiles up at Tobias as she approaches, and slows down. This gives the boys time to catch up. "Nisili, we need to talk." says the dark-haired boy. Natalie spins around and glares. That face looks far too evil to belong to a girl aged under nine, as Natalie seems to be. "That is NOT my name! I have not answered to that since the War! I am Nephrim, and you will use that name, which you gave me, Thanor!" Natalie, or rather Nephrim, is not disguising her voice, and those in the Infirmary may recognise it.
"But 'Traitor' is such an ugly name, and you do not deserve it."
"Oh, you can shut up Inhol! I know why you're here. To persuade me I'm wrong in all I do and that I should give up my ways and return to the light, yadda yadda yadda. Well, if anything, you should join me! It's much more fun, and I'd enjoy the company."
"You always say that, whenever we catch up with you. As usual, our answer is 'no', I'm afraid. We're not going to join you, and neither will we give up on saving you."
Natalie smiles. "I'm not going to give up on corrupting you, either. Don't worry."
****
Defenestrate and Eko are trying not to be intimidating, but there's not much they can do about that, except try to be friendly; something Eko is not yet good at, despite spending a year amongst hairy mammals. Defenestrate's better, and tries to give Eko an example. "So, um, Reelshka, how long have you been at GLoG?"
-
Re: [Nexus] Good League of Good LV: Witty Title And/Or Song Reference
Toy puffs on his pipe, his face hardened and generally unamused as he watches the proceedings.
-
Re: [Nexus] Good League of Good LV: Witty Title And/Or Song Reference
Well, depends on whether Zamira's still wrapped... :smalltongue:
She nods, either way. "Yes, it was."
-
Re: [Nexus] Good League of Good LV: Witty Title And/Or Song Reference
Nope. The food fight was unwrapped. :smallwink:
"Oh yes. The question is, now do we enjoy ourselves some more, or try the other tavern looking for work?"
The one that's currently being repaired after last night, of course. :smalltongue:

Jamie hops back up on the medbed, and looks over worriedly at her adoptive siblings.

Just two days. I'm not really a member, I'm just hiding here.

Re: [Nexus] Good League of Good LV: Witty Title And/Or Song Reference
Zamira smirks. "Well, I suppose we could go to Trog's..."
{{However, deadtime}}
-
Re: [Nexus] Good League of Good LV: Witty Title And/Or Song Reference
"Really? Well, I've been here for several months and Eko here has been here for over a year, since before the old base was destroyed. I hope you like it here, there's everything I could think of wanting."
"I can think of thingss I would like. Ssome of my tribe-matess for company, or anybody who'ss not a mammal - no offence, but I feel more comfortable around reptiless, it iss eassier to know what they are thinking. Alsso taller treess." Eko's expression doesn't change as she speaks, although there may be a note of wistfulness in the lizardperson's voice.
****
Then, the two boys change. Their hair fades to white, and large, white wings sprout from their backs, ripping holes in their t-shirts. Their eyes close, and reopen as pearlescent orbs. The rest of their faces do not change, however. After the change is complete, both boys (or rather, Heavenly Chorister) start to sing. It is a beautiful song, completely wordless, yet it conveys a sense of all the glories and rewards that being Good may bring. The song does not stop, not even for the Chorister's to breathe. As the song continues, Nephrim sheds her human form, and resembles the other two figures extremely closely. Only major difference is that Nephrim, unlike Thanor and Inhol, is wearing a dress.
After a short amount of time, Nephrim also begins to sing. Nephrim's song is equally beautiful, and despite being completely different the two songs mesh seamlessly. Nephrim's song, unlike Thanor and Inhol's, is also terrible, and exults the advantages of being Evil.

Re: [Nexus] Good League of Good LV: Witty Title And/Or Song Reference
Toby takes the pipe out of his mouth. Oy, angels and fallen angels: I'm sure you want to have a debate right here and now, but I've already read Milton and this really isn't the place for it. So I'm going to have to ask you to fight out your battles on a different chunk of mortal earth.
Yeah, "irreverent" doesn't even begin to cover him.
-
Re: [Nexus] Good League of Good LV: Witty Title And/Or Song Reference
Well... are there any cellars in here? Reelshka asks, uncertainly.
-
Re: [Nexus] Good League of Good LV: Witty Title And/Or Song Reference
"Hmm. I don't know, I haven't actually looked. If not then one could always be built; I'd help. I don't know much about building, though; I'm a computer programmer." Defenestrate smiles as he says this, to show he says the truth.
"I would alsso help, at leasst with anything above ground; I don't like being underground." Eko licks her eyes when she's finished.
****
All three of the Heavenly Choristers stop singing. "Very well. I shall go back to AMEN. Tell Quinn that Dam'Bul says hello, and I hope the girls recover from nearly being sold into slavery. Oh, and when Cerise comes back, ask her how it feels to kill unnarmed slaves trapped in cages." Nephrim, the angel in the tattered dress, jumps in the air and flies off, taking a pistol out of her bag and firing a few shots at Thanor and Inhol. "Don't worry, good sir. Despite following the Path of Evil for 4,500 years, there is still hope for her redemption." Yes, Thanor thinks there's hope. I don't, though.
"We shall ward the campsite against her so she can only enter when invited by a member under their own free will. She will not be able to return." Inhol is hit by a bullet, but seems not to notice, mostly.
-
Re: [Nexus] Good League of Good LV: Witty Title And/Or Song Reference
Uhuh, that's great. Toby puts the pipe back in his mouth and starts ignoring them. What a jerk.
-
Re: [Nexus] Good League of Good LV: Witty Title And/Or Song Reference
((So, he's not worried at all by the fact a Fallen Angel member of AMEN knows that his daughter and her friends were nearly sold into slavery, even though his fiancee is still at the slave market?))
-
Re: [Nexus] Good League of Good LV: Witty Title And/Or Song Reference
((He knows that AMEN was involved in the slave-taking thing somehow, and he knows Jack got away, presumably back to AMEN. Almost all of the kids are in the infirmary, which he is currently guarding, and the adults are on their way back. So far as he's concerned, the engagement is over. He'd start planning for a counterattack, but he has another fight all ready booked. So, to sum up, no, no he is not worried.))
Toby keeps smoking his pipe and deadtimes.

This. :smalltongue:

Re: [Nexus] Good League of Good LV: Witty Title And/Or Song Reference
Shrike chuckles and goes to give Zamira's cheek a peck. "You don't sound totally enthused by that..." she teases.
-
Re: [Nexus] Good League of Good LV: Witty Title And/Or Song Reference
Zamira chuckles. "Well, I suppose we can't spend all day in our cabin..."
-
Re: [Nexus] Good League of Good LV: Witty Title And/Or Song Reference
"Well, we could, but all play and no work takes the edge of Exalts." Grinning, Shrike sets Zamira down on the bed before going to get dressed.
-
Re: [Nexus] Good League of Good LV: Witty Title And/Or Song Reference
Zamira grins, and gets dressed herself.
-
Re: [Nexus] Good League of Good LV: Witty Title And/Or Song Reference
Shrike quickly finishes dressing so she can lean against the wall and watch Zamira. :smalltongue:
-
Re: [Nexus] Good League of Good LV: Witty Title And/Or Song Reference
Zamira takes her time, winking at Shrike.
-
Re: [Nexus] Good League of Good LV: Witty Title And/Or Song Reference
Shrike winks back, and whistles appreciatively.
"You look simply stunning, lover mine."
