Any other important information:

Also, before you join, read the Rules of the Spork. If you are not a member, then when your character arrives, you will be outside the front door and must roleplay getting entry, but bear in mind that whenever your character enters GLoG, alignment scanners will try to detect his/her current intention's alignment (so even the most evil of people might come off as good, if they think they are.

• Helipads - For helicopters and other VTOL type aircraft to land. Duh.

Members Only Areas:

Some areas of the base are DNA locked and alignment locked so that only members with no evil intent can enter unescorted. These include the Security Room, the Armoury, the Detention Wing, and the Artifact Vault.

Artifact Vault - Set next to the Armory, this is where GLoG's major artifacts are stored. The door is DNA locked to members only.

The Brightheart
The Brightheart is a plain orb, set upon a stone plinth labeled 'The Brightheart'. Also on the plinth is a note that says:
'Do Not Remove. Ever. No, not even then. (But maybe then.)'
The Brightheart itself glows with inner light, and throws up a positive energy blanket of moderate strength (heals most surface wounds, and makes undead sick) a few meters in radius. Touching the Brightheart results in having a large amount of positive energy run through you (heals all wounds, and drives undead to near death). Inside the plinth itself is a gate to the Negative Energy realm, which draws off the excess positive energy from the Brightheart. Should the Brightheart be removed, and taken away from the base without the necessary preparations being made, two Very Bad Things^TM will happen.
A) The Brightheart's positive energy will not be siphoned off, and so it will be returned to full strength, throwing up a powerful positive energy blanket about a kilometer in radius, and killing anyone who touches it, living or no, through sheer positive energy overdose.
B) The gate to the Negative Energy realm will become unstable and tear, creating a giant Negative Energy rift in the middle of GLoG.

The GLoG portals:

Spoiler

Show

The portal between GLoG and HALO is still open, providing instantaneous transportation between the two organisations.
But anyone passing through it arrives outside the front door. If they've already been cleared (previously interacted with GLoG without hostilities), they can walk straight in without having to roleplay out knocking on the door and so on.
There is also a smaller portal operating between GLoG and Farthing Cottage

First time visitors, or people who have previously caused trouble have to wait for someone to undeadtime to decide whether they can enter the building (GLoG), or not, unfortunately. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

{{About 23-24, to be exact}}

Daisuke smiles. He had come to care about the strange girl who had appeared in his dreams...

and they were linked now, for better or for worse, and by more than the spell.

From last thread.

And oh, so true.

[McBish]

{{About 23-24, to be exact}}

Daisuke smiles. He had come to care about the strange girl who had appeared in his dreams...

and they were linked now, for better or for worse, and by more than the spell.

((K.))

Val still tired from not sleeping, and comfortable where she is starts to drift off to sleep curled up on Daisuke.

[The Bushranger]

((reposted))

((Have all night.
...and indeed. If Happy sees a talking cat, she'll shoot first and ask questions never...))

Dani slips on one of her standard-issue swimsuits, and decides to add a T-shirt and cutoffs on top of it.

Alright, I'm ready!

---

Quinn nods. Yeah. I could try to do something more about the paralisys, if you want...
She frowns as it occurs to her that Charity is gone. Oh well, must have checked herself out.
Shrugging, she steps over to collect her stuff to have a drone deliver it. And frowns at seeing a scroll.

She seems to remember Charity not being much of one for magic...

---

Brendan pauses, then nods. I should find her and talk to her once she's cooled off, maybe.

[Recaiden]

((I don't get it.))

Yeah. I'm sure she'll understand then. Don't feel bad about this.

[horngeek]

((Have all night.
...and indeed. If Happy sees a talking cat, she'll shoot first and ask questions never...))

Dani slips on one of her standard-issue swimsuits, and decides to add a T-shirt and cutoffs on top of it.

Alright, I'm ready!

Ryuan casts the spell, and sap dumps itself near Dani.

Capture Dani.

The sap crawls up Dani.

Okay. Basically, you can dissolve layers of clothing without dissolving everything. So:

Dissolve outer layer.

The t-shirt and cutoffs should dissolve, without her swimsuit dissolving.

[Ashen Lilies]

On a hunch, and on the advice on a half-forgotten mention of the name 'Charity Evans', Phoenix turns up here. Again.

[The Bushranger]

((Don't get what?))

Brendan nods and hugs Ashna tightly. Thanks...

---

Dani giggles as the sap grabs her. That tickles! She ooohs and giggles some more as the sap does away with her expendable clothes. Awesome! Thanks, Ry!

[horngeek]

Can I ask a bit about you, Dani?

Ryuan frowns a bit... the bit about her parents dying...

[Recaiden]

((The thread title. Also, I'm deadtiming Ashna for 1/2 an hour. Like usual.))

Ashna hugs him tightly as well, not wanting to let go of him. You're welcome.

[McBish]

Val just almost completely asleep now mutters something, Sweet dreams.

[Ashen Lilies]

((Ooh! I remember Dani's backstory now! I'd forgotten it.))

Phoenix wanders in base, briefly checking the membership logs to confirm his hunch.

[horngeek]

{{But I know it not.}}

Daisuke pats Val on the head.

Sweet dreams.

He'll probably end up going to sleep with her in his arms. Awwww....

[McBish]

Yep Val falls asleep in his arms.

[Jacklu]

Lorial undeadtimes. The succubus is somewhere. Aka, I don't know where anybody is and don't feel like searching the thread for location brackets and unoccupied characters. Bare with me folks, I don't have much right now and I want to make it last.

[The Bushranger]

((KK: ^_^
HG: And this story too shall also be told...
Rec: Dani is a dirty, naughty girl! ))

Dani giggles. Sure! Since it seems you have me at your mercy!

---

Brendan closes his eyes, and buries his face in Ashna's hair.

---

A drone tells Phoenix that Charity Evans left to go to the Taverna.

---

Quinn opens That Scroll curiously.

And blanches.

Oh, dear gods no...

[billtodamax]

"That'd be great, thanks Quinn." Susan says. "What is it?" She asks, as she's ninja'd "Hello." She says to Lorial. "I don't believe we've met."

[horngeek]

Heh.

You said your parents died in a fire. How old were you?

Sorry if this is too personal to start, I just like to start at the beginning of a story.

[The Bushranger]

Quinn looks up and waves at Lorial, as she folds up the scroll and tucks it into a pocket. Somebody messing with something they shouldn't, she says quietly to Susan, before smiling at the succubus. Hi, there. I don't believe we've met? I'm Quinn.

---

Dani nods. It's OK. She takes a deep breath. I'd just turned 15. Dorothy's a couple of years older. She saved me.

[horngeek]

Dorothy?

I'm assuming this is a person who came to the Nexus/ACRO with you?

Actually, if we're going to have a backstory swap, please start at the beginning. I'll just make it way too long with questions otherwise.

[Jacklu]

Lorial looks at Quinn, then smiles warmly. Lorial. A... pleasure... to meet you.

[billtodamax]

"I'm Susan." Susan says, nodding. She's in one of the beds near Quinn.

[The Bushranger]

And you, too. This is Susan. Quinn motions to Susan. Can I help you with something?

---

Dani giggles, relaxing in the sap with a cheerful smile before turning serious again. Well, as serious as she can be...
Dorothy's my sister. Don't call her that though! She hates her name, she goes by Shrike. Um, well, we grew up in a pretty small town, they didn't have much magic, then one day some thugs were beating me up, and she came to help me - and her powers manifested, she can shoot lightning. Dani looks down. They came that night wanting to burn the witch...

[horngeek]

And that's when your parents died, right?

It's always hard when parents die...

Ryuan looks sad for a moment.

Despite still being a talking cat.

[Recaiden]

Ashna is still holding Brendan, solemn, now sad as well. Is there anything I can do?

[Jacklu]

I was just wandering. My sister, Euria, spends a lot of her time here. I figured I would check it out myself. Please, don't let me get in the way. She takes a seat on a vacant bed. Manages to do it in a subtly inviting manner too.

[billtodamax]

"Don't worry, you aren't in the way." Susan says, smiling. She hasn't moved her arms or legs the entire time. Spooky.

[The Bushranger]

Yeah. Dani closes her eyes, and sniffles. They refused to hand her over, of course, so they...they set fire to our house.


As a complete aside that just occured to me, is the sap transparent, transulcent, or opaque?

---

Brendan smiles, just a little. Just be here for me, love...

---

Quinn smiles, blushing just a little. No, I don't mind. I was just checking up on things, and wondering how to talk to somebody... She takes a deep breath.

Lorial might notice that Quinn is quite distinctly pregnant.

[horngeek]

Hmmm...

Translucent, I'd say...

you're going to make a suggestion that there's a transparent one, aren't you?

Actually, let's say that's one of the commandable things already. It can be commanded to do anything from transparent to opaque.

And then you came here?

{{How much longer do you have? Because I have about 3 hours}}

[Recaiden]

You know I will be, dear. Whenever you need me.
