"I literally just joined up, y'know, after storming the place in a fit of rage, it happens. As for the party, I wasn't aware you people needed reasons to party. Have some Booze!" Rocid begins shaking a bottle of the semi-existant liquor before trying to hand it off to Jack in place of accepting his handshake.
"Keep that stuff well shaken, if it settles then the sediment arranges itself into complex numerological equations that drive mad those who attempt to solve them."

Cyrus will gladly shake Jack's hand, with his right gauntlet peeling back as he does so. It kind of kills a friendly handshake when you're carrying the ultimate joy buzzer all over your body...
Anyway, Cyrus would rather not cause any trouble, so he actively takes steps not to electrocute/lobotomize Jack. :smalltongue:
"I do not believe we have met either. Cyrus Ahu, at your service."

Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLI: eXtra Large Injury

"Got that right. And hey, thanks. Something I can actually drink." Jack looks at the bottle and Cyrus, grinning. "Service? Oh, pal, you don't wanna do that." He takes a swig of the ecto-booze, wiping his mouth with one sleeve. "Nice to meet you both. I'm Jack."

Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLI: eXtra Large Injury
Front Door >> Main Room
Xifra enters, carrying all four of her Objects. Those who remember her as the plain looking girl who had an 'ignore-me' aura always on will find that she is now rather different.
She's recognizable as herself, but her features have been subtly changed to make her visually more attractive. Her aura is now under her control, and she can even reverse it to a 'notice me' aura. Currently it's on neutral though, so paying attention to her or not is up to whether a sexy woman in a sheer dress, moving with confidence, and carrying powerful magical artifacts is something your character would pay attention to. :smalltongue:
She looks for Jack and when she finds him, will try and wrap her arms around him.

Jack's about to explain his joke, too, when Xifra comes out've nowhere. He's hugged, and the grey thing bristles. Jack turns with liquid speed, and upon seeing who it is, his grin returns. "Xifra! Honey! Baby! You look good."

Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLI: eXtra Large Injury

She didn't come out of nowhere! She walked through the front door! It's right there in the location tag! *points wildly*
"You've changed," Xifra says, giving him a puzzled look :smallconfused: while trailing her fingers down his torso. She can't quite work out what's different about him. "Did you sell your memories again? Get them back? Something else?"
((naptime - feel free to carry on the conversation with Cyrus while I'm away. Xifra will just hang off Jack affectionately, like a the insane obsessed lover that she is. :smalltongue:))

Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLI: eXtra Large Injury

Oooh, looks like Rocid is a wee bit jealous of Jack and his lovely companion.
He covers it up well though, he's in too good a mood to get angry, "Hey John-boy, who's your new friend? Evenin' to yah maam, names 'Cid, you need anything just let me know. I know people who know people. Same goes to you buddy, we may have just met, but I like your swagger. Now if you'll excuse me I have to see a man about a clock." he sort of hovers off, a bottle of booze in one hand and another crate in the other. The rest of the crates (three in total) he leaves sitting in the middle of the floor. Let one of the henchmen take care of it.
He'll make a beeline for the couch, and when he get's there he holds the single bottle out to Zefir wordlessly.
-
Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLI: eXtra Large Injury

Zefir just holds his hand."No thank you."
He don't takes drinks from guys who work for an enemy from him.
-
Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLI: eXtra Large Injury
Main Room
Rocid shrugs and sets the bottle down at Zefir's feet.
"Suit yourself mack. Let me know if you're ever interested in burying the hatchet now that we're on the same side."
With a wink, he turns into the same little girl that assaulted Zefir at the door so long ago, and skips off merrily to spread alcoholic goodness to the rest of the partygoers. He doesn't seem to realize the party hasn't begun yet...

Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLI: eXtra Large Injury

"I've learned a lot from the Lady," she says.
Just being near Jack, Xifra can feel the Object pull growing stronger, and she doesn't fight it. The sensation is so intense. So real. She revels in it for now, just experiencing the desire, letting the need grow inside her.
"I can't wait to hear about it, Yochanan," she says to him telepathically. She isn't sure if this is the Other, but she thinks it is. She loves the human Jack, but she loves the eldritch Jack even more. Love him with a desperate passion because she knows it can never be returned in any way she can comprehend. But this too is a sensation to revel in and experience - pleasure and pain, love and rejection, passion and loss.

Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLI: eXtra Large Injury
Oh yes the party has started. Things are calmed down enough for it to start, so Gordon gives the signal, and the music starts up.
"So, enjoy the party, people. "

Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLI: eXtra Large Injury

Cyrus takes advantage of the opportunity to disentangle himself from the conversation, looking around to see if there's somewhere he can help with the party setup.
After all, cakes roasted with Hellfire have just the right amount of Damned Soul to taste absolutely delicious! :smallbiggrin:

Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLI: eXtra Large Injury

"Bit mouthy, isn't it? And Yoke doesn't really work for shorthand. Just call me Jack." Jack says, looking around. He tries to think of something witty to say, but comes up with nothing for the moment. "You're not here for the party, I bet."
Kitchen --> Main Room
Here comes the good Lady Legion, wheeling a large predatory bird into the room on a silver tray. She heaves it off the trolley on her own, then starts unloading the rest of the meal. Hopefully with some henchy help.
-
Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLI: eXtra Large Injury

Cyrus will gladly help Legion out. He's several ranks above a typical henchman, but there's not much else for him to do.
-
Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLI: eXtra Large Injury
Main Room
"I could be, if that's what you want," Xifra says. "Whatever you want, is what I'm here for."
Where's your other half? she asks telepathically. I hope you didn't kill him.
-
Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLI: eXtra Large Injury
Main Room
"Hell, I don't even know what we're having a party for. Normally we celebrate by killing insignificant people."
Jack looks at her 'incredulously' at the telepathic question.
"Killed him? No. We've had a... parting of ways. He's at your temple, I think."
Which I have yet to post for. Whoops. >.<
Main Room - Table
Legion smiles at Cyrus. "Thanks." She seems to like him. For a villain, he's more polite than most folks around here. Though he might smell a particularly odd seasoning in the food.
-
Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLI: eXtra Large Injury
Main Room
Rocid hovers over to the bird after getting one of the henchmen wasted to the point of unconciousness (pffft, lightweight.) He sniffs at some of the food suspiciously before grinning at Lady Legion.
"Is that... it is! Paprika on this? Truly you're a culinary mastermind. Shame I can't eat..." (he has no idea what's on the food)
That's right, he still hasn' spoken to Gordon about taking up that contract that MURDER dropped. Huh. He should really get on that.
"Hey I know a great sauce for that turkey if you know where we keep the flour around here."
-
Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLI: eXtra Large Injury
Main Room - Table
Cyrus beams right back.
"No problem! It's the least I can do to help."
He's in a good mood, all things considered. His plans are coming together nicely, he managed to pin the broken soul jars on Gregorovich, and he's gaining a degree of respect here in AMEN. What's not to like?
She's about halfway right. Deep down, Cyrus is a horrible depraved bastard who needs to die for the good of everyone, but he does have a classy, polite, and more or less benevolent side to his personality. He saves it for people who understand his ways, at least to a degree.
He does catch a whiff of the seasoning, but ignores it. Probably just some Nexus spice he hasn't tried yet. Most certainly not a Love Potion/Gender Change Potion, or anything like that! :smalltongue:
-
Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLI: eXtra Large Injury
Main Room
Xifra, who at that moment had been willing to stay by this Jack's side all night, starts to grow agitated. What if Jack upsets Salome again? She can't bear it if that happens to her best beloved.
"How? I thought you needed each other?" Xifra asks, abandoning the telepathy since Jack doesn't seem to care about keeping the conversation private.

Nephrim arrives. She's in her natural form- that is, snowy-white feathered wings emerging from the back of an angelic, androgynous child with shoulder-length white-silver-blonde hair and eyes like bottomless white pits containing just a hint of cruelty. She's wearing a loose white silk toga nearly covered with various black gems and semi-precious stones. On her back, resting slightly awkwardly between her wings, is a red rucksack.
Seekers might be able to tell that there's an Object in the rucksack.

Karyana sets about subtly rearranging her features; the only child she's seen here was Nephrim, a confirmed shapeshifter, and she doesn't want to go through that again.

Zefir looks to the angel. At this times he is used to it and just don't care for her appereance.
"Nice bad. Who has died for it?"
Mainly refering to the red color^^

Main Table- Table
Jasper is here to, helping set up the dishes and cutlery and such! "Eh, I'm sure whatever crazy eldritch abomination-spice you're thinkin of is nice an all, but you can't throw seasonings around like crazy." He says to Rocid, not wanting to risk the ghostly being ruining the potions by accident. He's spent waaay too much time planning this out.

Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLI: eXtra Large Injury

"Nobody. I didn't kill the store clerk I convinced to make a gift of it. I did tell her that she was ten years old and that her dog had just died and she was lost. It was very funny to watch." Karyana gets a quick, surreptitious smile. It's aimed to be noticeable, though what it exactly means is not clear. Nephrim's probably just trying to make Karyana paranoid and nervous, probably.
-
Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLI: eXtra Large Injury

Karyana starts to grow quills.
Clearly, it's working, if the intent actually was just to make her nervous and paranoid.
Four of her hands move to a sword.

"Nah, it's just some of this booze, a bit of flour to thicken it, and salt. When you pour it over dead flesh it binds the soul of the creature back into the meat. Or something... I don't know, Kharn uses it on all his food. But hey, the chef has the final say." then he realizes he doesn't know who he's talking to. "Evening bud, name is Rocid. Care for a swig?"
He holds out a bottle in one hand and extracts another from the crate he's carrying. He'll haul a bucket of ice out from under a pigtail and set the new bottle in it, then attempt to put it on the trolley with the rest of the food.

Stu steps out into the room, grabbing a piece of cake that was totally there. Then realizing he can't eat cake, being a flower. Fortunately it wasn't there for obvious meme related reasons.

Unless he's really good with faces, she's unrecognizable.

Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLI: eXtra Large Injury

"I'll think about it. Please excuse me a moment." Nephrim will then approach Stu. "Where are you thinking?" Nephrim is paying no attention to Karyana and seems to not recognise her. She does- she caught the start of the transformation and knows of only one person who has can do that and has the reason to do it when Nephrim's around, but Nephrim's a good actress.
-
Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLI: eXtra Large Injury
[Main Room]
She went through a transformation?
It's doubtful Stu would recognize her normally. He has a short attention span.
"Of course Hollowtinns sweetcheeks. You in? I'll make it extra worth your while baby." :smallwink:
That should answer Nephrim's question too.
-
Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLI: eXtra Large Injury

Yep. Her hair is neon black, her facial features are subtly different, and she's covered in dark red quills.
Also, I believe she only had two arms when Stu met her, rather than the six she has now.

Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLI: eXtra Large Injury

"Do I have time to change into something more practical?" That toga looks really nice, but it is far too ornate for something like this. She'll also turn to Karyana. "My name's Nephrim. I don't believe we've met." She offers a hand to shake.

The quills on her palm disappear, and she'll shake Nephrim's hand.

((Nephrim once infiltrated GLoG using the name Natalie; I introduced Natalie as a normal girl to see how Jamie & co would react to a girl physically resembling and named the same as the girl who tried to sell them into slavery. Hence, same text colour. I got confused))
After a period of time, Nephrim returns. She's an eight-year-old human-esque boy with pale blue skin and dark green hair, gill slits in her neck and wearing denim dungarees. "I'm back. We ready to go?" She still has her red rucksack containing its Object.

"Quality shmaulity, this stuff is everclear wrung through the souls of gluttons. You don't know what you're missing! Anyway it was great meeting you, but I hear the faint cry of gold that hasn't been plundered." And with that the little girl with a grizzled brooklyn accent skips merrily over to Stu, donning an eyepatch and tricorne as she goes.
"Whee, avast ye booty, lets shiver the yardarm and hoist the starboard porthole!" Rocid's voice now matches his appearance, if only because hearing a fully grown red blooded man giggle like he is now would be a bit over the top, even for him.

Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLI: eXtra Large Injury

Stu has a brooklyn accent too. Imagine that.
"A party without action is pointless! With these things, you have to act, not wait. Besides, I don't think anyone I know is dead."
He does pause his exit when the pirate girl arrives though.
...
...
Huh?" :confused:

Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLI: eXtra Large Injury

And then a pirate girl.

Party
Gordon sighs, and turns back to the room.
"If you want some action, Stu, you would need to find someone else. Well, at least the henchmen like the limbo."
Over on the side, the henchmen are busy with a game of limbo. Good thing that Stu isn't likely to play, as outside his powerarmor, he would be the smallest person in AMEN.

Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLI: eXtra Large Injury

A Tiny pirate girl. With pigtails.
She'll skip right up to Stu and attempt to tug on the leg of his powersuit, "Big sis Julie told me to tell you that she said hi. Also she said 'If he does something utterly moronic, go with him to make sure he gets out in one piece.' yuhuh yes she did!" Rocid is nodding so fast it looks like his head might fall off.

Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLI: eXtra Large Injury

"No one's making you come with or anything Gordon. You don't have to act." Stu says, a bit unsure of how to take his statement. Maybe that the party will have games or something? :smallconfused:
They probably wouldn't want to play the games Stu would suggest.
He does know, however, that robbing a big bank is a lot of fun!
Stu crosses his arms at the tiny girl.
"Hey now. I am not utterly moronic! You probably shouldn't even come cause you're all... small... and young... and will get hurt or something. I don't know! You crazy kids have whacky creepy powers." Stu glances at Nephrim.
"Right. Well... regardless, I'm going to go get rich...er now." Stu turns and heads for the door again.

Xifra doesn't think this is very funny. So she tries to enchant Zefir to believe this about himself, that he's a 39 year old man who has never been kissed and never will be.
