    Update 2: Apr 1, 2011 - Dec 1, 2011
    So... It's been a long time since my last, and only, update. A very long time. Really, I need to get in the habit of doing these once a month or something. As a result of how insanely long it's been, I'm gonna just cover a few characters. Probably only the most recent events as well. I'd be impressed with my feeble memory if I could actually remember everything that's happened from that long ago, and in order too. Any PC not mentioned has probably done stuff, but I never felt it was needed to make a digest post for it all.

    Kirk Locke
    It turns out that being summoned by Feia is exactly as fun anyone would have ever expected it to be. She made for quite a cruel mistress, if not a particularly demanding one. In fact, Kirk's died (and was subsequently resummoned) twice as a result of Feia. The first time was not as noteworthy as the second.

    It was after a party at the MagCave. Kirk was feeling especially hateful and angry toward her then. He ended up having to dance with her, the tango, and it served as an excellent way to express the rather passionate rage that was sure to boil over in some other manner if left unchecked. Out of some strange combination of hatred, lust, and anger he kissed her. Surprisingly she never killed him on the spot, and instead kissed back. It progresses to full on making out. Then she teleports them onto some distant iceberg before they pull the curtain there. Afterward she watches him as he freezes to death.

    Nothing else came of that event since then (to his knowledge) and things continued as usual. Until recently that is. After going to assist Harnel get out of a jam, he was offered a wish from a god-like being. Taking the opportunity, he wished to be made mortal again and free of Feia's clutches. As of yet, though a woman by the name of Reviline he's recently went on a date with is secretly an agent of his former mistress.


    Let's backtrack for a moment. Kirk actually managed to get into a proper relationship with Fettina. Things were going well until they had a big fight, mostly as a result of Kirk being overly paranoid. Kirk went off and got drunk while Tina went to a party and also got drunk, with the addition of cheating on him in the process. The drow was not happy, but ended up forgiving her for it.

    But Kirk couldn't hold onto a relationship for that long. During his time after dying on that iceberg, Tina cheated on him, far more deliberately this time. Kirk managed to show up at her place and catch her just after the act, and broke up with her on the spot.

    Some time later she met him at the Black Dragon's Den. Kirk ended up forgiving her again, mostly because he did genuinely enjoy spending time with her and he was feeling guilty because he'd cheated on her as well and just hadn't told her. They both proceeded to get drunk and ended up going to the back room to curtain. They woke up the next morning, and Tina forced him to state outright what was between them. They settled on just staying friends. Kirk was happy with that, and returned to his debaucherous ways. he's been sleeping around far too much lately, in fact.


    Backtracking again. His redemption. How did that go? It's safe to say it didn't. Kirk has always been a compulsive liar and never hesitated to hide things about himself. This doesn't serve the redemption process very well. After a long while of doing little, Kirk started slipping back into his more unsavory ways. Sophie became suspicious of him, and after pushing for answers, caused Kirk to flee GLoG. Despite this, he does seem to have improved, if only slightly. Rather than return to AMEN, he joined up with NO. He's even managed to secure a position just below Dipsnig in the hierarchy there.


    And now for the present. Kirk was sent to AMEN by Dipsnig. Since part of NO's job is collecting information for Remnant, Kirk is making use of his former AMEN membership to spy on them. He slipped in and acted like he's just been on an extended vacation,. and so far his return has been well met. Now he's in the AMEN base and watching the results of an attempt to assassinate Vasquez by hypnotizing her boyfriend.

    In another thread, Kirk was hanging out at the Black Dragon's Den. He was chatting with Fettina, when he was headbutted from behind by a half drow half dwarf. Turns out that this drorf, going by Junior, is his son he abandoned. Kirk manages to rough him up enough to end the fight. Feel free to ignore the assistance he received and attribute it to his brawling abilities. Now he's decided he doesn't want to stick around, and invited Tina to accompany him to Trog's.


    Sakura (Frescot?)
    Looking way back, about seven months ago, a rather huge event happened in her and Adir's life. Adir impregnated Sakura. It wasn't intentional, and when they found out they both took it hard. Sakura came to terms with it far sooner, however. She's known for a long time that she's wanted a child, it's just that she wasn't expecting it so soon. She and Adir had never even considered it.

    They were relatively silent about it for a long time. Adir not very happy about it, he never wanted a kid. Eventually he did come around. Sakura had decided that she wanted to try and be sexy for him still. During such an attempt her stomach was pressed up against his. That moment was the first time the baby kicked. It really changed his outlook, and Sakura couldn't be happier. They proceeded to discuss baby names and afterward went to find out if it was a girl or a boy.

    As of now, Sakura is heavily pregnant with thier daughter who they've decided to name Laela. For the time being Sakura's excitement is more prominent than her worry.


    Not long age, Cessie and Harnel go married. While at the wedding, Sakura got to thinking about marriage herself. It didn't take her long to decided she wanted to marry Adir. After consulting Cessie, Sakura bought a ring. Later she sat Adir down and popped the question. She certainly caught Adir off guard, but he said yes and a rather short engagement followed.

    Right now the wedding is in progress. They invited everyone from Watchtower and a bunch of Adir's family members showed up. Sakura is talking with Adir's mom, Vorla, for the first time. She's quite nervous about the wedding, but she knows it was the right choice. The ceremony should be starting soon.


    A plotclone from just before the wedding is on Watchtower business. An elf by the name of Azalea needed some help talking to a powerful nature spirit, called Old Oaks, who's been destroying anything man made that enters its grove. While in the grove, Sakura, along with Harnel and Sarget, met a number of curious fey. One such fey was Cessie's grandma and asked her to give Cessie a seed.

    Before they could confront the spirit, they were fooled into driving away some goblins. After learning that they'd been deceived, they return to hear that Old Oaks' seed and child have been stolen. Now they're on their way to another grove to get it back, but a monstrous creature and a group of gnolls are promising to be trouble.

    Renetta Oronar
    Renetta first appeared on screen as a slave in a slaver caravan. She was held for almost a year and repeatedly sexually abused during that time. When the caravan passed through the Outside regoins of the Nexus, a group from Watchtower put an end to it. Though she'd been rescued, Renetta was still far from being free of her time as a slave. She discovered that she was a month pregnant.

    A wolfen by the name of Waterstrider took her under his wing, and without him she might not have been able to cope. She became more and more attached to him. Though she found out that he had strong feeling for her, she felt she couldn't return them, not like she was then. But she steadily became more dependent on him. He was the only person that made her feel safe.

    Just recently she's visited her home along with Waterstrider. Happy has summarized the plot better than I could hope to, so I'll include that here.

    Renetta discovered her home forest on a map and asked Waterstrider to escort her there. He agreed at once, despite his foreboding that she would stay there and he'd never see her again. When they arrived, her parents Ardrim and Lydia were thrilled to see her, but ashamed of Waterstrider, and hoping to hide her pregnancy from others. Her mother even insisted that the child be adopted out. She locked Renetta in her room, but Waterstrider broke in through the window and held her all night, and Renetta finally admitted that she was in love with him.

    Her uncle Gamaliel was there in the morning when Renetta and Waterstrider were discovered together. He did not approve of Waterstrider either as a partner for his niece, but he was furious at his brother for locking Rettie up after everything she'd been through, and for separating her from the person who made her feel safe. He reminded Ardrim of the Wolfen lifespan, and that as long as they stayed on good terms with Renetta, she'd be back home in a few decades.

    The couple stayed at Gamaliel's the next night, and he offered to help Renetta end her pregnancy, in the belief that once that was done, she would be able to put everything behind her, and become less dependant on Waterstrider. She refused, insisting that she loved the baby already, and he was reminded of how Renetta's parents had married young, against his advice, because Lydia was pregnant.

    Renetta parted with her family on good, if somewhat tense, terms, and Gamaliel promised to send messengers regularly to help the family keep in touch. After they left, Waterstrider told Renetta that he could tell, based on scent, that Gamaliel and his human servant Paul were lovers. She was shocked, knowing that the secret relationship was doubly taboo in their culture, but then deciding it was good that he had someone to love him.

    The couple is now trying to reach Waterstrider's tribe in time for the Winter Moon festival.

    Korothalorack
    Koro, the half green dragon half grizzly bear, made his appearance poking around Watchtower's courtyard. He found his half brother Zanny there, and ended up accompanying them to beat the snot out of some demons. He didn't really know what was going on, but he was just happy to go along with Zanny.

    The mission had... limited success, but at least they got loot. Goooooooold. o.o He got a collar that gives him unlimited endurance as well. He also wanted a fertility necklace that was there, so he could get all the bear ladies, but mean old Zanny kept it away from him.

    Some time later, Koro snuck into Watchtower to steal the necklace. More accurately, he got stiuck in the window because he's HUGE and ended up being assisted by Katherine, and later Darcy and Ilpholin. He got the necklace and made off with his prize.

    In his wanderings he ended up at GLoG and found himself getting snagged by a cage trap! A dwarf came buy later, and transported him into the dwarf fortress under GLoG. Now she's trying to train him, with some difficulty. He only accepts gold as rewards, so it's going to be expensive.


    Tinseltwig
    Once again the little pixie was released from her bottle and was magically compelled to fall in love with the person that opened it. This time, however, she was better received. The man who opened it was Admer, and he turned out to be too nice of a guy to just blow her off or shove her back in the bottle. She's still rather grating though.

    Oddly enough, he comes to enjoy the over the top attention, love, and devotion Tinseltwig barrages him with. She manages to shock him with her casually bringing up getting married, but he doesn't even try and ditch her then. Tinseltwig is of course quite happy with this, and overjoyed when they go to get wedding rings. She was almost disappointed, they never had rings her size. Thankfully some quick thinking ended with them getting one for her to wear as a belt.

    Just recently she managed to convince Admer to have the wedding in one month's time. They were approached by a demon while at Trog's discussing this, and the following conversation ended with them getting direction to go to Terrowin to be married and enough money to get wedding clothes.


    Arel
    Arel made a rather spectacular entrance into the Nexus. She fell from heaven. She was lucky to be found by someone nice, Reinholdt. The friendly one that is, NHR. He took her back to the animal shelter where Bast had set up shop and helped her recover from her feeble and blind state. To this poin, he's still supporting her.

    She told him that she was a seraph and was cast down to live a mortal life for her sins. They then went to where she fell. It's something she felt she needed to do. Alone in the crater, she found Arbiter and the grimoire she's bound to.

    Later, Arel went exploring and came across the Black Dragon's Den. There she met an old acquaintance, Mister Sirtch, or as she knows him, Lucifer. They talked and he gave her some valuable advice before departing. Soon after Caet investigates the Grimoire she placed on the bar beside her. He tries to convince her to give it to him, but she refused.

    Chione, one of Bast's sphinx servants, was amking an effort to push Arel further toward sin. Lust was her sin of choice, and she convinced Arel to kiss Reinholdt, using the small crush she had on him as a foothold.

    Arel might not have done it but for Chione magically boosting her confidence. When she does kiss Rein, she instead ended up smacking into his face. When she tried to leave Rein caught her and kissed her properly.

    Recently Arel decided she didn't want to be such a burdon on Reinholdt, so she went out job hunting. She went to the Gambling League of Gambling after finding a fake advert. Luckily Magtok was nice enough to give her a job as a cocktail waitress anyway. currently she's with Reinholt during her first shift. There was an announcement of a zombie attack on the city.


    Tenebras
    The government of Westside, Riverside, now named Tenebras, have been doing a few different things lately, though mostly they've been doing the same old thing.

    Durin, along with Irena, investigated an abandoned manor outside the city due to some force attracting undead. They discovered a necromancer there that was trying to gather an army. They had attempted to burn the place to the ground, but were unsuccessful. Further action should probably be taken.

    Ramiro met with a new power in the city. A fey being named Genesis. He largely approves of her and hopes she'll be an ally in the future.

    Rot paid a visit to Exbourne Manor, and they were quick to take the opportunity to kill him. By this time they already knew that his coffin needed to be destroyed first, so they staked him and captured him instead. They used the services of a rather odd vampire named Lavthos to extract Rot's memories and insert them into Durin's brain. Now they can find the coffin.

    Durin, Vino, and Astrana were dispatched to Rot's manor to destroy the coffin. Despite significant resistance, including a piece of Rot's mind trying to turn Durin against his allies, they did manage to destroy the coffin. Right now they are still trying to escape, but a less than friendly werewolf is trying to stop them.

    Back in Riverside, a few people came looking for Rot. They were all turned away. Ilpholin was the only among them that decided to find some alternate means to get at Rot and free him. She did so my seducing Valente and *cough* exerting her influence over him. With her new willing slave, she was able to break into the manor and get Rot's body out. She was met with significant resistance, but did get away. Not with Rot, however. A mysterious third party pulled him into the ground and his location is unknown as of now.

    Meanwhile, Magtok met with Ramiro and worked out a deal for moving illegal good in between Inside and Riverside. Ramiro assigned one of his best people, Samona, to assist Magtok. She's since met with him and now they have plans for dinner to meet with Fredrick Ward, a prominent merchant that's expressed interest in doing business with them.
