Reinholdt's totally trustworthy about rum.
You can always trust him to drink it.

"... Nah, I don' fink I know any'un who wouldn't drink all da rum 'r just disapprove o' da whole ting."
Ermine's probably not remembering very well. I blame the rum.
The little weasel stretches out on the beach.

Reinholdt frowns a bit.
"Oh well."
Reinholdt switches to cat form to better curl up on his rock.

Shrike actually looks startled!
Actually, she was supposed to look like an Eclipse. But as someone whose knowledge of the setting comes entirely from wiki, I might not have done the best job on the description.
Either way, confused Hunter is confused.
You're losing me here, Shrike. What on earth is an Eclipse Caste? :smallconfused:

(Ah, I misread. It is Eclipse caste. Shrike wouldn't have slipped. :smalltongue: Retconus minorus?)
"They're a type of Solar Exalted. Like me," Shrike explains. "And, for a moment, you looked just like one."
The redhead pauses, then focuses on her Essence, channeling a few motes into her anima, to cause her Caste Mark to show - that of the Night Caste.

Ah, Exalted. Sophie vaguely knows them as a powerful type of supernatural encountered in the Nexus. Still, she has no idea why Shrike might have seen her as one.
Interesting. But I've no idea why I might have looked like one. I'm a Hunter. Or an Imbued if you will.

"Yes, I think so. Oh! She's going to set loose four minotaur! Somebody has to stop her; if those monsters get loose from my carriage, they'll rampage through this place doing as much damage as they can before they're killed!" Actually, they won't. Minotaur don't fear death, but that doesn't mean they don't value life. And no matter how many they kill here, by escaping they can kill more over a longer period of time and hence earn more respect in the afterlife.

"You ride giant beetles? Aren't they dangerous?" The only giant beetles Myrim is familiar with are giant water beetles, massive predatory insects the size of a large dog. They are extremely dangerous and will attack anything they can get away with. Marsh Goblins more commonly ride giant dragonflies.

"I don't know either - and it was just for a moment, but it was...eerie." Shrike by now has a more neutral expression, but keen eyes might tell that she feels like she's seen a ghost. "Very clearly, just for an instant, it wasn't you..."
And then she describes, in detail, exactly what she saw.
-
Re: {Nexus} Good League of Good LXXVII: Earth Vampires DON'T Sparkle!

Brinika nods. Yeah, they're dangerous. They have very large pincers. Only trainers and riders ever get close to them.
[Island]
Sophie rubs her temples. This is very strange. I've never seen this woman, not to mention she sounds like someone from Japan a couple hundred years ago. And I'd never heard of "Exalted" before coming to the Nexus.

Keo seems to think. "I just want to eat right now. Maybe your mom can show me later? Right now, I just want to eat and then go-"
Yawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwn.
That is not hyperbole. It is one of those epic cat yawns.

Keo finishes her venison.
"Night."
She then moves under the table, curls up and falls to sleep on the spot. Just like that.
When she wakes up, someone needs to explain beds to her.

"From what I know of Japan, its culture is somewhat similar to that of Creation. Or maybe I should say the other way around?" Shrike chuckles, then turns serious. "It seems like something that might be needed to be checked into though. Probably just somebody casting illusions.."
-
Re: {Nexus} Good League of Good LXXVII: Earth Vampires DON'T Sparkle!
[Island]
I think I'd be able to tell if someone was trying to surround me with an illusion with my Second Sight active. Besides, if someone is casting illusions then who and why? I can't think of anyone who might have a reason to make you see another Exalt for a split-second when looking at me. Being a Hunter has definetly given Sophie something of a detective bent. So, yes. It definetly needs looking into.

"Well, then, that's agreed." Shrike runs a hand through her hair. "I wish Cerise was here - this was more her sort of thing than mine. Well, since my workout got interrupted anyway...no time like the present?"
-
Re: {Nexus} Good League of Good LXXVII: Earth Vampires DON'T Sparkle!

I suppose so, Sophie says. But how are we going to go about doing this? Some sort of... analytical magic?

Reinholdt wakes with a yawn.
He glances at the sleeping Ermine and gives a small smile, then a slight frown, then heads off to try to find Tobias and work out the airship deal, leaving a little note.

[Medical Lab]
Take a look and tell me what you see.
Well... I'd call this a sexual crime. And those bruises there indicate it was gripped rather tightly.
Note the discoloration. That confirms that the... act took place.
Toby and Tony are in the autopsy room, examining finger shaped bruises on a cadaver's throat and petechiae on its face.
[Outside]
A brown haired, brown eyed young boy is wandering around.

Jamie, meanwhile, seems to be watering the garden.

Reinholdt kitty takes note of the young boy and approaches.
"Excuse me. But have you seen a person who looks like [insert Tobias' description] around anywhere?"
Oh hey. There's Jamie over there. He'll ask her next if this kid doesn't know.
-
Re: {Nexus} Good League of Good LXXVII: Earth Vampires DON'T Sparkle!
[Outside]
The kid hesitates. You mean Tobias? He points at the Lab. He went in there with my, um... father. He says that word like it's a new coat he's trying out to see if it fits and feels right.

"Oh? Someone taking classes at the medical lab?" The cat inquires.

Re: {Nexus} Good League of Good LXXVII: Earth Vampires DON'T Sparkle!

Toby... is a family friend... The boy looks down and doesn't mention that he just learned his dad once killed his mom, whom he thought was his big sister. It's such a tragically complex thing for a 12 year old kid to wrap his head around.
-
Re: {Nexus} Good League of Good LXXVII: Earth Vampires DON'T Sparkle!

"I.... see." Reinholdt flicks his tail in thought. He doesn't really. Weird kid.
"Anything you want to talk about? I hear kitten therapy is the best therapy." Don't listen to him kid. CATS ARE DANGEROUSLY INSANE.

Jamie, watering the garden, hasn't noticed Reinholdt or Kevthe kid yet.
-
Re: {Nexus} Good League of Good LXXVII: Earth Vampires DON'T Sparkle!

The kid shrugs. I just found out awhile ago that my parents are really my grandparents and my real mom was Toby's friend and my real dad is this cleric Tony Sciano.

If Jamie's player wants interaction, she should come over. :smalltongue:
"Oh. OHHHH! You're him!"

Awkward silence.
"Gee, I, umm... real sorry for you and everything. Must be awkward."
