[Nexus] GLoG 61: Now with 100% More Goblins

[horngeek]

Karen, at this point, enters the infirmary.

[Reinholdt]

[Infirmary]

Reinholdt gives Quinn a funny look before rolling his eyes. "Redemption. Very funny. Haha." He believes that to be as much a possibility as Quinn believed him just now. As far as he's concerned, redemption is not a possibility for him.

He turns to Reelshka all the same. "We met before. Back when we were rescuing Phoenix. Granted, I was looking a bit more human then."

[IonDragon]

LoVoltage hauls himself up and out of bed. He's got his left arm in a sling, and an angry red line over his left eye.

"Come on guys, this is a hospital isn't it? Could you keep it down?"

[FireFox]

Tony bows to Reelshka in greeting, then turns back to his unconscious friend. Hm, so a cleric or a Deity must have cast a spell on him... which explains why you thought of me... Quinn, would you like me to do my own scan on his psyche?

[The Bushranger]

[Infirmary]

"This is the infirmary of the Good League of Good, and I am in charge here," Quinn says in answer to Lo. "So if I don't want to keep it down, it won't be kept down."

She's a bit on edge; after all, this is her husband unconsious in the bed...

"Do it," she finally snaps to Tony, after spending almost two minutes agonizing over the matter.

[Zefir]

[Elm Cabin (earlier in continuity)]

"Would the Holy blade of the Champion of a Goddess be enough to destroy it?" Quinn asks Riv and Andy.

[Elm Cabin]

"I think that sounds good lets give this a try. Lead the way Mrs. Quinn"
*Deadtime*

[Reinholdt]

LoVoltage hauls himself up and out of bed. He's got his left arm in a sling, and an angry red line over his left eye.

"Come on guys, this is a hospital isn't it? Could you keep it down?"

"It's also the busiest place on this base, so if you want peace and quiet, you should try visiting one of the abandoned cabins." Reinholdt speaks the truth!

And turns to Quinn. "Tobias was very much against Tony doing anything related to his head. Fear of memory manipulation and stuff along those lines." I would be afraid too. For all we know, we're all secretly Quinn's head puppets or something at this point.

Of course, Quinn probably already knows this. Seeing as how she spent a few minutes thinking about it.

[Morty]

[Infirmary]

Reelshka nods back. Hello. She then lets Tony do her thing as she scurries over to the new person. Sorry about that, but we have a difficult situation here. Who are you?
She's a brown-skinned goblin woman with gray hair tied in a braid, wearing practical brown and green clothing and a stylish dark green hat.

[Kitchenette]

Brinika gasps in shock and scurries over to peek through the door as well.

[FireFox]

I suspect that if Quinn was mentally controlling everyone, Toby and Reinholdt would have made out by now.

I swear by Nomos, my God of Binding Vows, that I will not "mess" with Tobias' head. He smiles slightly and mutters under his breath. But, if I had the power, I would like to make him less sadistic. Then, unless stopped, he takes hold of his holy symbol and starts chanting.

[The Bushranger]

[Elm Cabin (earlier in continuity)]

"Lead the way?"
Quinn chuckles.
"I'm afraid you misunderstood."

She draws her sword...

"I am Quinn Druid, wife of Tobias Druid, President of the Good League of Good, Champion of Neirian and godslayer."

---

meanwhile now...

[Infirmary]

Quinn merely nods to Reinholdt. "Dance, little puppets, dance! I know. But I'm the doctor, so it's Doctor's Orders.

Then...she waits. Shaking her head in slight bemusement at Tony's muttered comment.

And...with Reinholdt? Naaah. She's not that into yaoi.



[Kitchenette]

Mikani frowns, but allows Brinika to peek out as well, as she watches, worriedly.

[ThirdEmperor]

Maybe? I'm not sure it actually can be destroyed, I mean the supernove barely injured it. Riv says, shrugging.

[Reinholdt]

[Infirmary]

Clearly Quinn would have genderbended one of them first.
With her MIND.

Reinholdt shakes his head, but does nothing and waits for the results.

[horngeek]

[Cabin 8]

Falcon is probably fully dressed by now, finally.

Zamira looks at her, also fully dressed. "Let's go, then."

[Murkus]

Pretty much. She shakes her head. I was trying to resist it with some successes, but at one point I just got fed up and left with some other goblins.

"When you can't beat em', leave em'. Sounds like a plan to me." Fred smiles charitably, steadying his umbrella again.

[The Bushranger]

[Elm Cabin]

"Supernovas aren't Holy," Quinn points out. "Shall I give it a go?"

---

[Infirmary]

...probably Tobias.

Quinn watches.

---

[Cabin 8]

Falcon chuckles, reaches for Zamira's hand, and gives it a squeeze.
"Well, then, let us be off. Lead the way, Lunar."

---

BR-the-player deadtimes to feed the mutt.

[horngeek]

Zamira leads the way!

[FireFox]

Hm... Tony is visibly straining under the power of his spell. Yes, something has taken away his ability to focus and to concentrate... but I can't imagine why. Oh. That's clever.

Then he convulses and starts to collapse!

The people standing near the cleric may feel a sudden surge of powerful influence, but this time it's demonic in nature, not divine.
I think it might remind Rein of the whispers he heard during the last apocalypse Inside, or maybe of his star... That sort of effect, but directed only at Tony.

[Morty]

"When you can't beat em', leave em'. Sounds like a plan to me." Fred smiles charitably, steadying his umbrella again.

Reelshka's continuity clone outside responds: True enough. Fighting agains a thousand of years of prejudice isn't easy. She sighs. But enough about me. Are you liking it here?

[horngeek]

Karen closes her eyes and opens them again... and is now capable of seeing magical energies.

She has a look at Tony and Tobias.

[Reinholdt]

Hm... Tony is visibly straining under the power of his spell. Yes, something has taken away his ability to focus and to concentrate... but I can't imagine why. Oh. That's clever.

Now that's something Reinholdt can recognize. Having dealt with such things many times in the past.
...
Reinholdt rushes forward so that Tony's head will probably land on him instead of something else.
"Ow."

[ThirdEmperor]

Okay, but unless the sword can kill Elder Evils I very much doubt this is going to work.

[Murkus]

Reelshka's continuity clone outside responds: True enough. Fighting agains a thousand of years of prejudice isn't easy. She sighs. But enough about me. Are you liking it here?

"Yeah, so far. I had some business in the city, but I really like it here. Now, if it weren't so sunny..."

[Morty]

"Yeah, so far. I had some business in the city, but I really like it here. Now, if it weren't so sunny..."

It is a nice place, yes. I hope you'll find a way to deal with the sun.

Reelshka's continuity clone in the infirmary gasps when she sees Tony fall, but both Reelshkas deadtime.

[FireFox]

Toby has a light fingerprint of divine energy, plus all his Druidic energy, but nothing really occuring right now.

Tony has his divine or clerical energy, but he is currently covered in active, demonic energy.
He lands on Reinholdt if Quinn or nobody else catches him, but starts thrashing around. No, no! I'm sorry! I tried to save all of you!

[Murkus]

It is a nice place, yes. I hope you'll find a way to deal with the sun.

Reelshka's continuity clone in the infirmary gasps when she sees Tony fall, but both Reelshkas deadtime.

Fred deadtimes with her, then. "I sure wish I could just adapt. Doesn't seem to work that way, though."

[horngeek]

Karen tries to stop Tony thrashing around. "Dammit... this is not good."

[Reinholdt]

"Get a pillow under his head!"
Reinholdt is not happy to be that pillow and much would rather not be under here anymore.

"He's reliving the worst moments of his life. In very vivid detail." Or something really similar.

[horngeek]

Karen tries to get a pillow and substitute it for Reinholdt.

"I don't have any Charms that can help him with that, all I can really do is hold him down. Any ideas?

Also, note to self, get Medicine Charms."

[Reinholdt]

Reinholdt crawls out, looking frustrated and works to fix his fur.

"Try tranquilizing him. Dopamine or something. Some sort of drug that won't let him think clearly. It's the best I got." Aside from going to beat up the source. Which Reinholdt suspects is the Selinite Gods somehow.

Course, Reinholdt's like 0-3 so far in his suspicions.

[horngeek]

Karen's still holding Tony down. "Sounds right. Can you get them, though?"
