[Nexus] Good League of Good LIX: Now With Trees!

[The Bushranger]

Jamie grins happily. "So! Whatcha been up to besides listening to us?" she asks Krystal with a grin.

[Reinholdt]

((There, one less Kris. ))

Kris follows after him, very carefully avoiding the catnip ball, and following him over to the lake.

"Are you particularly good at swimming, Sir Butler?"

YOU KILLED HER!

"I wouldn't say particularly good ma'am. But I'm alright ma'am. About normal ma'am." Average. Regular. Can do some strokes and some paddling and some floating, but certainly won't beat anyone in a race.

[Trobby]

So, let's see if I got this right... She turns to Maralah. You and Jamie have similar powers. Kind of like an alter ego sort of thing going. She turns to Kris. And...I'm guessing you have some cat-like abilities?

"...Ssssoome. I won't deny that..." I mean, even if the Mr. Muffin was uncooperative, she's technically able to speak with cats as if they knew how to talk back. "But most of my power has nothing to do with that. I'm trained in martial arts, and in channeling Ki.

YOU KILLED HER!

((Noooo. She's fine. In fact, she hung out in the cabin for awhile, got a key from somewhere, locked it up, and went to the Tavern to check up on Butler.

In a parallel universe that runs about half an hour behind our own, she's still alive and doing things much more slowly than we do!))

"Heh...I'm not that good either." She explained, starting to take her shirt off as they walked. "But I can beat at least two out of my three brothers in a swimming race, so I'm not bad either. Besides, swimming is about fun, not sport."

[KerfuffleMach2]

Krystal answers Jamie first. Not a whole lot. Just working.

She turns to Kris. Martial arts? How long have you been training?

[Reinholdt]

She's deeeeeeeeeeeaaaaddddd!!
*wails*

"... I thought swimming was a sport ma'am?"

Butler starts climbing up the steps to the giant slide.

[Trobby]

Krystal answers Jamie first. Not a whole lot. Just working.

She turns to Kris. Martial arts? How long have you been training?

"Technically I studied for only a few years, but I've been practicing ever since I was like, ten years old!"

Which sounds impressive, until you realize that it only means she's been practicing for five years.

She's deeeeeeeeeeeaaaaddddd!!
*wails*

"... I thought swimming was a sport ma'am?"

Butler starts climbing up the steps to the giant slide.

((No she is noooot. ;w;
"I'm really not. I'm fine."))

Does the slide go down into the lake when it dips off?

Because if it does, Kris will follow him up.

"Well it is, but we don't have to make a sport out of it. We're just enjoying ourselves."

[Lord Iames Osari]

Mara sits quietly.

[KerfuffleMach2]

Huh. You'll have to show me some time.

She turns to Mara. You have any hobbies or anything?

[Reinholdt]

((No she is noooot. ;w;
"I'm really not. I'm fine."))

"Well it is, but we don't have to make a sport out of it. We're just enjoying ourselves."

Oh Kris. You weren't the shortest lived character ever, but you came close.

"But we can't make something a sport that's already a sport ma'am! It just is ma'am!" Butler would flail, but this isn't optimum flailing time.

I have no idea where the slide ends. Obviously it changes depending on who's using it. It's a magic slide.

Butler goes down and lands with a big sploosh!

[Lord Iames Osari]

Huh. You'll have to show me some time.

She turns to Mara. You have any hobbies or anything?

Mara pauses thoughtfully. "I like to read," she says finally.

[The Bushranger]

"Reading's good! You can learn a lot that way. Like - um, interesting things about history!"

...nice catch and save, Jamie.

[Trobby]

Huh. You'll have to show me some time.

She turns to Mara. You have any hobbies or anything?

Kris nods, and listens in, wanting to hear what Mara has to say.

And she did!

"Reading IS totally good. What sort of things do you read?"

Oh Kris. You weren't the shortest lived character ever, but you came close.

"But we can't make something a sport that's already a sport ma'am! It just is ma'am!" Butler would flail, but this isn't optimum flailing time.

Butler goes down and lands with a big sploosh!

(("But I'm not-wait, I'm second-place? Aww man...wait, can I go back and die sooner so that I can come in first?"))

Yay for magic slides! Also, yay for fur! Because that's all that Kris has! convenient censoring at work though, but Kris does not have a bathing suit *Yet*, so yeah.

Probably won't bother Butler...or it might. :o Which is why I am mentioning it. I'm a responsible narrator!

((Aren't you the narrator who ran off to get coffee when Tobias came into the Tavern one too many times?))

...You know I could just leave this to you. -_-; I've got other things...

((Fine fine...resume.)

Right. Anyway, Kris follows down with a biiig sploosh of her own!

"Hah...that was aaawesome!"

[KerfuffleMach2]

Krystal nods a little. What kind of books?

[Reinholdt]

Right. Anyway, Kris follows down with a biiig sploosh of her own!

"Hah...that was aaawesome!"

I can assure you, Butler is not modest. He pulled the curtain in front of people watching. Crazy times. But they were all in jail together. It was bound to happen.

Butler's just wearing his shorts for his swimsuit.
"Yeah, the slide is very slippery ma'am."
He's never managed to climb back up it!

Iiintereesting...why was Butler in jail?

Well, that's neither here nor now . Kris swims around a little, going a bit closer to Butler.

"Heh...I've never been on a slide. Well, not one like that anyway. Only one I've ever even seen was a mud slide. That was WAY better."

[The Bushranger]

[Infirmary Bedroom]

"I like history the most. That and botany, Jamie says with a smile.

[Reinholdt]

Wouldn't you like to know?
Gee... I wonder what news-like thread might contain pretty much every exploit of all of Reinholdt's characters gathered together over long periods of toil and labor?
Hmm... I can't think of ANYTHING.

"A mud slide ma'am? How do you make a slide out of mud ma'am?"

Butler floats around, keeping gently adrift.

[KerfuffleMach2]

Botany? You garden?

[The Bushranger]

"Not really. But it's my magic - I can control plants and stuff," Jamie explains. "Among other things."

[KerfuffleMach2]

Really? You know, I've heard of a couple people back home who could do that, too. I didn't know them, but I heard about them.

And deadtime.

[Trobby]

Butler floats around, keeping gently adrift.

Bah, I'll get around to reading it. ;p Whatever this mysterious thing is. I'm trying to cram as much Nexus in as possible before I have to go away for the weekend.

Keep your non-existent pants on, Reiny.

Also, against all odds, Butler is actually imagining exactly what Kris meant to say.

"Well you gotta get water first, then you find a nice steep hill and sorta dig it out to make a slide shape. Then, when you pour the water down, you get a nice slippery slide made of mud!"

Kris is sorta treading water, since she's juuuust short enough so her feet don't touch the surface.

"Not really. But it's my magic - I can control plants and stuff," Jamie explains. "Among other things."

"I'm not a huge reader myself, but I occasionally read things if they're not too long."

Kris turns to Mara.

"What about you? You're the one who said she likes reading."

[The Bushranger]

"Really? That's cool!" Jamie nods. "I can do other stuff too, like controlling water, but I'm not as good at it..."

((and, BR needs to head off. 'Night.))

[Reinholdt]

Shorts.
Where you going?

"Oh... That'll work ma'am. But then you have to get wet all over again to wash it all off, don't you ma'am?"

((deadtime))

[Trobby]

Shorts.
Where you going?

"Oh... That'll work ma'am. But then you have to get wet all over again to wash it all off, don't you ma'am?"

((deadtime))

What shorts? <.<
Wedding for my cousin.

"Yes, but you'd be surprised how much fun it can be. Me and my brothers used to do it all the time."

((Well, looks like I should get getting sleep too. *DT*))

[Morty]

Excellent! He says. Come on, I think the wife just brewed a fresh barrel. He says, walking towards the wide hole in the middle of camp. Upon closer inspection it appears to be a ramp leading deep into the earth. It's wide and tall enough for a wagon to get down.

Reelshka follows, somewhat curiously. She wants to see how the tunnels compare to the ones Krugzim and his miners dig.

[Lix Lorn]

"It is pretty ma'am. There's a lake over there ma'am. With a giant slide ma'am. And a swinging tire is over there ma'am. And the main cabin is there ma'am. And the infirmary is there ma'am. And I sleep in that cabin over there ma'am." Butler leads her around to all the different places.

Emily had mumbled at the use of the word ma'am, eye twitching silence, and she lapsed into silence. She followed the two cats throughout their incessant Cuteness, and was on the bank of the lake, staring at them.

"I think I'll take regular water slides ma'am." Butler is a butler! And while he's not the cleanest butler around (come on, his wife is Decker the dirty socks eater), he still prefers stuff to be clean. Mud is like his polar opposite.

Though I'm sure you'd get him laughing it up once he was there.

He doesn't mention Kris' brothers! Butler had his own siblings before.

"Why don't you come in and join us ma'am?"

[Recaiden]

Riace has crept back to GLoG and is skipping rocks over the lake.

"Why don't you come in and join us ma'am?"

"Eh?" Kris turns in the water and realizes that Emily is there...

In fact she was probably there for the whole catnip incident, and Kris was just waaaay too out of it to notice.

...Gawd that's embarrassing.

Trying to hide most of her head in the water, she opts out of calling out to the girl at the moment, instead hoping beyond all hope that deadtime kept her from actually SEEING that incident.

[Lix Lorn]

"I don't have any swimming clothes." she said, despite the fact that she could easily get some.
She then grinned very brightly at Kris, making it very clear with her sparkling eyes that she had seen... everything.
