[Nexus] HALO 170: You want your thread? HERE IS YOUR THREAD!!!

Sam smiles at the memories of the last time she and Dani were at that place. But she also gives her wife a confused look. In Chicago? I dunno, probably.


Other characters are available.

Chris seems to become a small bit more introverted as he hears about the possibility of going to Sam's homeworld. It seems to pass for a second, though, barely noticeable even when it lasted.

That was where Dani first broached the subject of three not being a crowd, right? :smalltongue:

"I don't suppose there's any way that we could go there?" she asks, looking like she expects the answer will be no.

===

Andy, meanwhile, decides to try to find somebody. Who? Dunno. Maybe Samael.

I believe that specific outburst took place in an alley outside, but I'm sure she said something scandalous inside the building. :smalltongue:
I have the teleport coordinates for Prometheus Securities' North American branch... Then we can just walk a few blocks. If people want. I dunno, I kinda like the sound of Carrie's weird place.


Samael can be found wandering around.

Of course. :smalltongue:
"...you do know it's really, really weird, right?"
...Dani's grinning, though.

***

Andy uses BARD POWER!

...to slip ahead of wherever Samael's wandering, so that he can come across her leaning casually against the wall and checking her fingernails..
"Corrupting innocent young goddesses is always a rush, isn't it?" she asks, looking up with a grin.

...wait, is that a vuvuzela sticking out of her carry-bag? :smalleek:

The silver-haired young man indolently eyes the bard. Who are you and why should I care about anything you say?

"Name's Andy, and I appreciate your style," the bardess drawls with a grin, pushing off the wall and offering her hand to shake.

Samael makes a point of not moving at all to shake her hand. That's great. Did they give you a man's name because you're flat chested or because you've got too much facial hair?

"No, they named me Andromeda because I was destined to be a star," the not flat chested at all Andy drawls, not missing a beat...and fully expecting the snarky assassin to correct her by saying Andromeda is a galaxy. :smalltongue:

Samael gives Andy another once-over. Hm. Well, you're halfway there. A big, round ball of gas that's not very bright at all. Try to be less dim before your parents die of shame.

The bard rolls her eyes, shaking her head.

"Funny you comment like that, seeing as how that's exactly your type..."

Zing!
:smalltongue:

If I had a type, it would be a nice, innocent girl. The assassin makes a show of sniffing deeply. Judging by the heavy odor of slut I detect wafting from your diseased nether regions... you are not my type. Samael doesn't even smirk at his insult. He just walks past Andy, because she is completely beneath him. :smalltongue:

"Oh, no, I'm not innocent. Healthier than you, though, considering what divinity does to the likes of you," Andy declares, glaring at his departing back. "Oh, and I was wrong in my other initial assessment: you do mellow out as you get older."

"Hello. Now, can you please explain what's going on? You coming back with broken bones and unwilling to go back to your normal form, especially with Lisa's grove burning down and her nowhere to be found, isn't exactly reassuring about how she's doing..."

Why would Jamie think blam is involved? They didn't shoot the goblin or the penguin or anything else for that matter. :smallconfused:

Crazy girl. :smalltongue:

Sophie nods. I just wonder if it was your soul piece that turned her... strange. I guess we're about to find out.

Carrie shrugs. "Sam might scare off my annoying college acquaintances, though."

And judging by her expression, she is not in a very jolly mood. Her boyfriend just died in front of her and she is distraught and angry. And wants to find the killer. Ermine looks at Melody again.

"Where in dis place will we find tha "Erin" we be lookin' for?"

---

Melody shrugs. I don't know. I think I've only been here once before. She docks the mini-sub. Luckily they have easy to follow instructions inside. :smallsmile:

I figured we'd just ask the first Haloite we come across and hope they know where he is. She opens the sub and climbs out.

Trixi finally comes back with a small birthday cake. It says "Happy Birthday" and the name of the intended recipient has been removed and the name Trixi has replaced it, using a finger.

Here we go! She places the cake down on the child table, then passes out a plate to everyone. Does anyone have a knife? Momma said not to touch them. She rocks back on her heals, looking around at her gathered guests.

Oh, it's totally safe.
Carrie reassures him.

Sam shrugs. Let's just go there, then.

Sure, if it's okay with everyone..

Dani grins, and nods.
'Well, if y'all are fine with it, that's cool with me!" the little redhead declares happily.

"I think I have one. I don't think it's the kind you use on cake, though," Mikani says apologetically.

[Entrance to HALO]

"This is not the Erin you are looking for."
...that comes from the white-haired, green-eyed young man, wearing a Jedi robe, who stands in front of the arriving twosome suddenly!
He's even waving his hand in the form of the Jedi Mind Trick, and neither of the newcomers is a Toydarian!
...of course, he's not actually a Jedi.
But power of suggestion...

[Romantic Rendevous]

Chris nods his head. "Alright. Think we should go change into some more formal attire, or...?"

----
Meanwhile, a plotclone can be available anywhere else.

[Soul Quest]

"Hey, by the way, Happy Birthday." Irene says, giving a ghostly pat on Trixi's back. Nothing solid of course.

Though when she does so, she also tries to suck her soul bit back into her through the power of her mind!

Melody gives the white haired, green eyed man a curious look. Okaaaay. Do you know where the Erin we are looking for is? We need to talk to her about a murder. Melody doesn't smile, because she's serious.

Trixi bounces happily. That'll work, I'm sure. Go ahead, cut the.....

Irene then pulls the child soul-bit out of Trixi, and she stops bouncing. She blinks a couple times, looks at everyone standing in her room, slowly looks down at what she wearing, then slowly back up. Her eyes go wide, as does her mouth. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!! Get out!! Get out!! She screams, as she pulls her sheet off her bed and uses it to cover up, then points at the door.

[Soul Quest]

Sophie manages not to giggle. Guess I was right, she says to Irene as she hurries out of the room.

[Soul Quest]

Eep.

Irene scurries out through the door.
"I, uh, guess she wasn't just like that then."
>>
Irene had honestly expected she probably was. What with all the HALO rumors and all. Oops.

[Soul Queeeeeeessssst]

Hoffy walks out of the room.
Geez, if she didn't want me to have any cake she could've just said so...

Hoffy turns to Irene.
Well? Did you get it?
