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

[billtodamax]

Susan's looking for Quinn in the infirmary at the moment, still needing to ask her about hunting down a rust monster.

[Reinholdt]

[Nadas's Cabin]

Some weird magical aura thing seems to have popped up surrounding Nadas' Cabin. It's not actually visible to the naked eye.

Those who approach the cabin may feel rather sleepy.
The closer they get, the sleepier they'll probably feel.
And going inside will likely knock you out cold for a long nap.

Various wildlife can be seen outside Nadas' cabin, sleeping. Bugs, birds, squirrels. Even a raccoon.

I'll try. He... he didn't even hesitate. Toby... are you sure you want more enemies here? Is this some kind of jealousy, that just because Rein is a target of WATCHTOWER, you have to be too? I don't know, whatever.

Toby reaches out to touch Reinholdt's shoulder and see if he can trace the tattoo backwards and magically remove it. Would taking off the skin where the tattoo is and then growing a new dermal layer work either?

KK said divine magic seems to be it's weakness, so at this point I'll presume the glyph has been removed successfully. Reinholdt leaves to head to Trog's, not bothering to get magical help for his injuries even though the glyph is gone.

Butler approaches GLoG, whistling happily.

[The Bushranger]

Susan's looking for Quinn in the infirmary at the moment, still needing to ask her about hunting down a rust monster.

Quinn can still be found here, rubbing her eyes and still half-blind from her ill-advised Detect Magic.

---

Alex, meanwhile, is busy tending the rose garden. Including that pesky blue rose.

[Reinholdt]

Butler goes up to Alex, and his player doesn't remember who that even is!

"Hi sir. How are you today sir?"

[The Bushranger]

Alex is the drow- and brass dragon-blooded member of the Russkij family who is paired off with Alexis (no, not that Alexis, that Alexis!), and therefore doesn't often emerge to be played due to her permadeadtime/NPC-dom.

Anyway. He looks up, and blinks in surprise.
"...Butler? Aren't you supposed to be, I don't know, dead or something?"
...I bet Butler gets that a lot. >_>

[Reinholdt]

Every day.
"I am sir. But they needed me to balance the see-saw sir. There wouldn't happen to be one here would there sir?"

[The Bushranger]

((Gah. Sorry I missed this earlier.))

Alex blinks, then remembers...ah yes, one must speak in Butler-isms.
"Er...no. There's a Giant Slide, but no see-saw, I'm afraid."

[KerfuffleMach2]

Krystal undeadtimes.

Um, are your eyes okay now?

[The Bushranger]

"Almost. I think."
Quinn rubs her eyes again
"That was...certainly unexpected."

[KerfuffleMach2]

Krystal smiles a little.

Bit off more than you could chew?

[happyturtle]

A beat up old red pick up truck pulls up, with Edijar and the Evans sisters in the cab, and a couple of robots in the back.

"Are we going to stay here now?" Sunny asks.

[The Bushranger]

"Hardly." Quinn has to chuckle. "Something boosted the background magic, and I wasn't expecting that..."

---

Alex, noting the arriving pickup, waves from the garden, although he hasn't recognised the occupants yet.

[KerfuffleMach2]

Oh...kinda like feedback. She nods a little, as if completely understanding it.

[The Bushranger]

"...close, but not exactly. The Nexus is a high magical energy area, with lots of ambient magic," Quinn explains. "Just...hanging in the air. Something's supercharged it."

[KerfuffleMach2]

Oh...is that a bad thing?

[UncleWolf]

[Around the Pick-up]

Edijar steps out and shrugs before he begins to take off his armor. "I don't know. Charity and I have a small cabin a friend is loaning us. Of course, small to him is fairly large, so I imagine it has plenty of beds and space." He gives the girls a smile. "Besides, I at least know where the kitchen is there."

[happyturtle]

[Pickup]

"I don't want to hide," Sunny says. Charity looks at Edijar. "Would you be okay with staying here for a while?" Mostly because if they go off to hide in the home thread, they'll have no one to rp with but each other.

[The Bushranger]

"Could be. Or it could just be a passing phenomena. Of course, sometimes passing phenomena upgrade into something you need to call the Ghostbusters for," Quinn observes. "But, note to self, no Detect Magic spells for me for awhile."

[KerfuffleMach2]

Krystal smiles a bit at the movie reference.

Let's hope it doesn't come to that.

[The Bushranger]

"True, but even so, it's not like my answer to 'are you a god?' wouldn't be 'no, but I have killed them before!'. " Quinn nods, and her statement is clearly completely serious.

[UncleWolf]

Edijar smiles. "Of course I don't mind. I'll stay anywhere you wish." He tells Charity before grabbing a couple of duffel bags. Seems like he expected this.

[happyturtle]

Charity finds an empty cabin to settle into, and Sunny wastes no time setting her electronics workshop up again in her room.

((deadtime))

[billtodamax]

Quinn can still be found here, rubbing her eyes and still half-blind from her ill-advised Detect Magic.

Susan pops her head into the room Quinn and Krystal are occupying.

She nods to Krystal, offering a polite greeting, before turning to Quinn.

"Hey Quinn... how do you feel about destroying a cursed dagger?" She asks. "Possibly in the weald with a rust monster..." She mumbles under her breath.

[Reinholdt]

((Gah. Sorry I missed this earlier.))

Alex blinks, then remembers...ah yes, one must speak in Butler-isms.
"Er...no. There's a Giant Slide, but no see-saw, I'm afraid."

"Oh well sir. How have you been sir? And where is everybody sir? I want to say hi sir."
He sees a few people, but most he doesn't recognize.

[Nadas' Cabin]

Some weird magical aura thing seems to have popped up surrounding Nadas' Cabin. It's not actually visible to the naked eye.

Those who approach the cabin may feel rather sleepy.
The closer they get, the sleepier they'll probably feel.
And going inside will likely knock you out cold for a long nap.

There's now a rather large gathering of random animals sleeping outside Nadas' Cabin up to and including at least a dozen squirrels, two dozen birds, a fox, three raccoons, and a skunk.

Zzzzzzz....

[happyturtle]

[Nadas's Cabin]

Charity is headed for Nadas's cabin, when she sees the sleeping animals, and comes to an abrupt halt. This does not look good.

She heads off and a few minutes later returns with Sunny and IZK-alpha. Sunny crouches down to look her robot in the optical sensors. "Be careful, IZK-alpha. If you feel yourself growing sleepy, come back at top speed, okay?"

The robot, not being self-aware, only having rudimentary voice recognition, and already having received its instructions via programming, merely responds with the text. Proceed? (Y/N) which shows on its chestplate.

"Yes." Sunny says. This is understood, and IZK-alpha hovers towards the cabin. If nothing stops it, it will attempt to knock on the door. If it receives no answer within 60 seconds, it will attempt to open the door and go inside.

Butler may notice the two sisters watching a laptop screen, as the robot investigates.

[Morty]

[The Lake]

Reelshka is still fishing there, wearing a big straw hat instead of her usual classy dark green one.

[The Bushranger]

[Infirmary]

Susan pops her head into the room Quinn and Krystal are occupying.

She nods to Krystal, offering a polite greeting, before turning to Quinn.

"Hey Quinn... how do you feel about destroying a cursed dagger?" She asks. "Possibly in the weald with a rust monster..." She mumbles under her breath.

"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?"

****

[Garden]

"Oh well sir. How have you been sir? And where is everybody sir? I want to say hi sir."
He sees a few people, but most he doesn't recognize.

"Thinks have been pretty slow these days. However the Main Lodge and Infirmary seem to usually be occupied," Alex points out.

****

[The Lake]

Reelshka is still fishing there, wearing a big straw hat instead of her usual classy dark green one.

She might notice Alex talking to Butler B. Butler in the rose garden.

[Morty]

Reelshka decides she's had enough fishing for today and heads to where Alex and Butler are.

[The Bushranger]

And Alex, noticing the approaching goblin, nods in greeting. "Good afternoon. Can I help you with anything?"

[Morty]

Um, no... I just wanted to say hello. She glances at Butler. She remembers her conversation with Adam and how he told her catpeople were mostly extinct.
