[Nexus] Good League of Good LVII: Princess Power Trio Plus Protective Parents

[Reinholdt]

[Nadas' Cabin]

There's no answer so the robot knocks the door down. I doubt he becomes sleepy being a robot and all. Maybe if Nadas were a more powerful spellcaster.

Anyways, aside from the empty ritual room, the empty non-existent roommate room, and the empty library, there's Nadas' bedroom. In it, Nadas lies slumped over on a desk, a glowing blue feather in his hand. Glowy. Across from him is an orange tabby cat also asleep. Likely a familiar. Or something he bought at a pet shop while he tried to determine what was going on.

[Outside]

"Thank you sir. Have a great day sir." He smiles and nods to the goblin and Alex before heading towards the infirmary.

((deadtime for work))

[happyturtle]

[Nadas's Cabin]

Well, IZK-alpha was only going to open the door, not knock it down. Though if it was locked, breaking in would have been attempted.

Sunny sends new instructions for IZK-alpha to attempt to remove the feather from Nadas's hand. It doesn't intend to destroy it, but its claw hands may do damage inadvertently.

Then again, magicky type items tend to be rather durable.

[The Bushranger]

Alex nods then. "Ah. Well, I'm Alexsandr Russkij, but please, call me Alex." He offers a hand to shake. "And you, ma'am?"

[Morty]

I'm Reelshka. Reelshka Trollfinger. She shakes the offered hand. Have you been here for long?

[The Bushranger]

"Pleasure to meet you, ma'am. And I've been here, oh, getting close to a year, now, I think," Alex says. "I'm afraid I don't get to hang out very much nowadays, though."

[Morty]

Oh. I've only been here for a month or so. I was only staying during the first two weeks, though. How do you like it here?

[Infirmary]



"Hey, Susan. Meet Krystal." Quinn smiles, and motions torwards Susan. "Krystal, this is Susan, our head of security. What's this about a cursed dagger and rust monster, now?"

Susan smiles to Krystal.

"Daisuke had a cursed soul-eating dagger. I'm in charge of it at the moment, and WATCHTOWER's thought of a way it might be destroyed. However since I can't touch it (because of the curse) I need you to lift it telekinetically." She says, before grinning.

"Then we need to stab a rust monster with it."

((Deadtime))

[The Bushranger]

"It's prety nice." Alex smiles. "Since I met a wonderful person here, especially."

Quinn smirks a bit, and chuckles.
"Well, that sounds pretty easy...too easy, in fact. Whats the catch?"

[Reinholdt]

[Nadas's Cabin]

Obviously the door fell in on it's own accord because it wanted the attention.

Anyways, the feather is removed and the glowing stops. It's less a magic item and more a reagent for the sleep spell.

Of course, someone still has to wake everything up, even though the spell has been stopped. I recommend screaming in ears or ice cold water.

"It's prety nice." Alex smiles. "Since I met a wonderful person here, especially."

Quinn smirks a bit, and chuckles.
"Well, that sounds pretty easy...too easy, in fact. Whats the catch?"

It's a DIRE rust monster!

I dunno.

But Butler B. Butler walks into the Infirmary right about now.
"Hi ma'ams."

[The Bushranger]

Quinn looks around, waves....then blinks in surprise!
"Butler?! I thought you were dead!

...yup, he gets that a lot.

[happyturtle]

[Nadas's Cabin]

Sunny is being very methodical and careful about this. She knows the glowing stopped, but doesn't know if the sleep spell did. She doesn't want to hurt anyone. And she definitely doesn't want to have anything to do with a cat of any sort, though if it had been a russian blue, it would have been blasted in its sleep.

So IZK-alpha goes outside, hovers near a sleeping squirrel, and emits a few beeps.

[Reinholdt]

[Nadas's Cabin]

Aww... my hopes and dreams of seeing a Sunny that goes homicidal on every cat she sees in a hope of obliterating the "plague of felines" from the world will have to wait.

The squirrel in the meantime looks up, chitters angrily, grows a pair of really creepy eyes* and dashes to the Outside thread to take up watch.

*Said growth may just involve him opening his eyes.

[Infirmary]

"I was ma'am. But I need to get on the see-saw ma'am. Have you seen one ma'am?"

[The Bushranger]

[Infirmary]

Ahhhhh, Butler-logic. Ya gotta love it.
"Er, I don't think we have one, Butler. We do have a Giant Slide though."
Quinn smiles.
"Also - welcome back."

[happyturtle]

[Nadas's Cabin]

She may be brain damaged, but she's not insane.

*fondly remembers Happy blasting the leg off of Celtois's cat who just happened to show up with a blue star collar*

IZK-alpha will beep at a few more animals to wake them, before hovering back inside to beep at Nadas.

[Reinholdt]

[Infirmary]

"Yes, I've seen the slide ma'am. It's very impressive ma'am. And thank you ma'am. I have missed being around ma'am. I must admit I won't be for very long though ma'am." Butler frowns a bit, but quickly returns to a smile.

[Nadas' Cabin]

The animals wake up and run off.

Nadas himself starts slightly before reaching over to slam the top of IZK-alpha, not opening his eyes.

[The Bushranger]

[Infirmary]

"Why not?" Quinn asks. "I'd have thought you'd be wanting to get back to...well, Butler-ing again." She sounds genuinely curious. "And I know Jamie would love to meet you."

[happyturtle]

[Nadas's Cabin]

Slamming the top of IZK-alpha's head pushes the robot down where he's hovering. Otherwise, there is no change.

Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep

[Reinholdt]

[Infirmary]

"I would love to ma'am. But this place doesn't need a butler ma'am. It needs a gardener ma'am." Plus let's be honest. Can you really afford to pay his wages now when you people have a mortgage no one's paid any attention to lately? He's gotta eat!

"Plus I think I may have found a place in the Watchtower ma'am. Decker is there ma'am. But I'll come by often ma'am. Where is Jamie ma'am? I'd love to see her too ma'am."

[Nadas' Cabin]

What good is an alarm clock without a snooze button?
Nadas looks up at the thing, gives a shout of surprise and flails backwards, falling out of his chair with a THUMP. He wasn't expecting a robot to be in his room. He stares up at it from his place on the floor, reaching to readjust his spectacles.

[happyturtle]

[Nadas's Cabin]

There is a message printed across the screen on IZK-alpha's chest plate. Nadas, please leave your cabin. It may be unsafe.

[The Bushranger]

[Infirmary]

Alex resembles that remark!

...and that's probably a good question...

...also, a plotclone of Jamie slips in the door right about now.
"Behind you, I think," Quinn says, smiling, as the 12-year-old-looking Jamie smiles and waves, shyly. "Hello!"

[Reinholdt]

[Nadas's Cabin]

"Hazardous? I deject! How so?" Nadas looks around, completely confused, but gets up anyways and starts heading towards the exit, grabbing a nearby book along the way.

"And why do I feel the neccessity for nourishment? I replenished myself recently." Nadas heads out, blinking to get his eyes adjusted to the sun. He rather doesn't care too much for the sun. Give him darkness.

[Infirmary]

"Hi Jamie ma'am!"
*Butler hugs*

[happyturtle]

[Outside Nadas's Cabin]

He'll see Charity and her sister standing well outside the circumference. "Nadas! You've been asleep for days*!" Charity calls. "Are you okay?"

*actual IC time may vary

[The Bushranger]

[Infirmary]

And Jamie hugs back! Smiling.
"It's nice to meet you Butler! I'm Jamie. Jamie Misaki Catherine Druid," she introduces herself. "Mommy has told me a lot about you!"

[Reinholdt]

[Outside Nadas's Cabin]

"Truly?"

"The situation is more dire than previously predicted. Magical energies are completely unstable! This could prove catastrophic!"

His stomach growls and he makes a face. "Also I may necessitate foodstuffs if their availability exceeds non-existent."

[Infirmary]

I SWORE I was under the impression Quinn and Tobias rather disliked Butler, partially blaming him for Misaki.

"A pleasure to meet you Jamie Misaki Catherine Druid ma'am. You're named after Misaki ma'am?"

[The Bushranger]

[Infirmary]

Hm. It's been awhile. Perhaps Quinn, at least, has forgiven him...
Your Tobias may vary.

"Yes, I am. Mommy's told me about her, too. I wish I'd been able to meet her," Jamie says.

Quinn could add that she's also named for her first crush and Toby's slain former fianceé, but, she doesn't.

[happyturtle]

"There's plenty of food in the kitchen. Nadas, this is my sister Sunny." Charity says.

"Hi, Nadas. And this is IZK-alpha," Sunny says, a little offended that Charity left him out. "Do you like hot dogs?"

[Reinholdt]

[Infirmary]

"I'm sure they'll let you visit once you die ma'am. She's really great ma'am. You two would get along great ma'am. But you have to like flowers ma'am. Do you like flowers ma'am?"

[Outside Nadas's Cabin]

"I am honestly grateful to have made your acquaintance Sunny and IZK-Alpha. You have my appreciation for interrupting the spell as well. And I'll admit to have never previously encountered hot dogs." Cave is not great for grilling.

[The Bushranger]

"Well, I don't plan to die for a long time!" Jamie says emphatically, then nods. "Of course I do! And I like to paint, too. Do you like to paint Butler?"

[happyturtle]

"Edijar is grilling!" Sunny says. "Hot dogs and hamburgers. I like hot dogs with cheese. This way!"

She'll take her robot's hand and head back towards the main lodge, where the outdoor grills are set up around the kitchen entrance.

Charity follows, surprised but pleased that her sister has been outside for so long, and so unafraid of a stranger.

[Reinholdt]

[Infirmary]

"I suppose ma'am. I don't have much time to paint usually though ma'am. Unless it's a room ma'am." He'll paint rooms.

[Outside]

Nadas follows as well. That fighter guy again. Well he seemed alright. For a brawn. "You'll have to combine the necessary materials for me," Nadas tells Sunny. Since he doesn't know how to make one.
