[Nexus] Home IV: Plenty of Space

[The Bushranger]

[Al's Home]

Delta giggles a little.

[Outside that house]

Hey, shortie and goody. He's leaving.

[Al's]

"Got him," Dani responds to Ivaz, narrowing her eyes at Al as he departs.

If this was, oh, say, Scott Summers watching, Al would be a smear on the pavement right now.

[KerfuffleMach2]

[Al's Home]

Delta hums as she busies herself with the daily routine.

[Outside]

Let me know when he's gone.

[ApeofLight]

[Near Al's]

And Al is soon gone and out of eyesight within a few moments.

[The Bushranger]

[O.A.]

"The duck has left the pond," Dani declares on the radio, her voice as mysterious-spy-sounding as she can make it.

[KerfuffleMach2]

[Outside Al's]

...okay, that's enough outta you.

Ivaz falls silent for a moment as she does another quick look around the house from various rooftops.

Okay, doesn't look to be booby trapped or anything. How you wanna go in?

[The Bushranger]

[O.A]

Dani giggles.
"Right in the front door?" she suggests, wondering if they should wait on Alexis.

[KerfuffleMach2]

[O.A.]

...you know, normally, that'd be a bad idea. But with this cyborg girl...it might actually work.

Yeah. They should probably wait.

[The Bushranger]

[O.A.]

"Yup!"

And so, they gain wait.

[Recaiden]

[Brendan's]

A person is stealthily, well, not really, getting up from its bed and preparing for the day.

[The Bushranger]

[Brendan's]

Another person is stealthily, well, not really, admiring the first person as they get up, while pretending to be asleep.

[Recaiden]

[Brendan's]

The first person, feeling that they're being watched, whirls about, flames jumping to her hands, and then laughs as she realizes where she is.
"Good morning."

[The Bushranger]

[Brendan's]

And he throws up his hands with a mock-scared look. The grin gives it away though.
"And good morning to you, too, love. I trust you slept well?"

[Recaiden]

[Brendan's]

The flames flicker away and sink to their normal levels.
"Well enough. I'd hope not to wake you. Ah well." She steps back towards the second person.

((Deadtime, though.))

[Rae Artemi]

The crow backs away. Caelus enters. "Hello Rae. Want to join me finally?"

As soon as Caelus enters Crae's eyes will shift to the deep blue that indicates that he's doing something with his energy.

That Is One Thing That Rae Would Never Do, And Neither Will I. I'm Only Going To Ask You This Once. Where Is She?

His voice is hard and commanding.

[lord pringle]

As soon as Caelus enters Crae's eyes will shift to the deep blue that indicates that he's doing something with his energy.

That Is One Thing That Rae Would Never Do, And Neither Will I. I'm Only Going To Ask You This Once. Where Is She?

His voice is hard and commanding.

She who? Caelus's is pumping his energy into a force field.

[Rae Artemi]

[Caelus's Manor]

Don't Give Me That Crap. Your Daughter. Char. She Was Hiding Out At Glog, Hiding From You, And Now She's Gone. I'm Thinking You May Have Something to Do With That.

Crae's hands are in his pockets and his eyes are still glowing, but he doesn't seem to be making any moves.

[ThirdEmperor]

[Mercury Manor]

Mercury stalks back into the manor, well, okay, he's actually skipping. Everythings been working out just fine recently, and he's finally managed to gain vengeance on that twit Maxios. Although now he does have to teach the fool magic. He grins, and heads to his workbench. Time for a new face.

[lord pringle]

[Caelus's Manor]

Don't Give Me That Crap. Your Daughter. Char. She Was Hiding Out At Glog, Hiding From You, And Now She's Gone. I'm Thinking You May Have Something to Do With That.

Crae's hands are in his pockets and his eyes are still glowing, but he doesn't seem to be making any moves.

One of your paladins must have killed her. Why don't you ask Quinn or Jamie? Caelus stares into Crae's eyes.

[celtois]

[O.A]

Whatever deadtime ooze had got Alexis seems to let go of her now.

As she chimes in over the radio.

"Well Al actually did say we were welcome to drop in any time to visit her."

Though the pair can't see it she's grinning. A part of her is enjoying turning everything on it's head for Al.

And so she will try and sneakily make her way to the path, to avoid suspicion.

[Rae Artemi]

You Really Think I'm Stupid, Don't You? I've Already Spoken To Both Of Them, And I Know For A Fact That Neither Of Them Would Do That. You, On The Other Hand, Abuse Char Both Physically And Emotionally, Which I, Or Rae, Or Whatever, Have Seen For Myself. Or Himself. Mind Sharing Is Crazy, But That's Not The Point.

Crae stares right back, the glow in his eyes flickering as his power fluctuates.

[The Bushranger]

[Brendan's]

The flames flicker away and sink to their normal levels.
"Well enough. I'd hope not to wake you. Ah well." She steps back towards the second person.

And Brendan (Being the second person) chuckles. "Well, I could pretend to fall back asleep if you'd rather..."

Dani, on the other hand, has skipped right out of the bushes, and is already halfway to the door! She looks eager to get this show on the road.

[KerfuffleMach2]

[Outside Al's]

Well, while you two do whatever you do, I'm gonna keep watch for him.

[Al's Home]

Delta is currently doing things. I'm not sure what.

[The Bushranger]

[Al's Front Porch]

And so Dani skips up to the door, and knockity-knock-knocks!

She does. Just like that.

[KerfuffleMach2]

[Al's House]

After a moment, Delta opens the door.

And she smiles when she sees Dani.

Hi Dani! Oh, come in, come in. She'll step out of the way so Dani could enter.

DANI!!! DANI!!! GET HER OUT OF HERE!!!

[lord pringle]

You Really Think I'm Stupid, Don't You? I've Already Spoken To Both Of Them, And I Know For A Fact That Neither Of Them Would Do That. You, On The Other Hand, Abuse Char Both Physically And Emotionally, Which I, Or Rae, Or Whatever, Have Seen For Myself. Or Himself. Mind Sharing Is Crazy, But That's Not The Point.

Crae stares right back, the glow in his eyes flickering as his power fluctuates.

It was punishment. Ask Mr. Dipsnig and his son for the full story. Caelus unconsciously summons his sword.

[celtois]

[Al's]

The prime reason for sneaking out of the bushes was so she could walk inconspicuously up the road

Meaning Alexis is only a few paces behind Dani. "Hey there Delta. How are you holding up?"

[Rae Artemi]

[Caelus's]

Do You Think I Really Care? Because I Don't. Listen To Me. I Promised Her I Would Try Not To Hurt You Too Badly, And If You Tell Me Where She Is, I Might Keep that Promise. But If Not.

he leaves the implications hanging.

[KerfuffleMach2]

[Al's House]

Delta smiles at Alexis. I'm doing good. How about you guys?

ALEXIS!!! HEAR ME!!! NOW!!!

[The Bushranger]

[Call It Al's]

After a moment, Delta opens the door.

And she smiles when she sees Dani.

Hi Dani! Oh, come in, come in. She'll step out of the way so Dani could enter.

DANI!!! DANI!!! GET HER OUT OF HERE!!!

The prime reason for sneaking out of the bushes was so she could walk inconspicuously up the road

Meaning Alexis is only a few paces behind Dani. "Hey there Delta. How are you holding up?"

And Dani does indeed come in. "Hey, Delta! It's good to see you again! We thought we'd come and see how you were doing and all that!"

[celtois]

[Alioa's]

"That's nice to hear." Alexis looks over at Dani.

She wasn't really that sure about the plan from this point on. Something about grabbing her and running.

"I've been doing fairly well. Though I've run into a bit of an issue with deadtime oozes of late. They keep trying to eat me."
