[Nexus] Nexus OOC IX: Its Why They Pay Us The Big Bucks

[happyturtle]

If it can fit through dozens of tiny crevices and work inside a ton of rubble, this 'dove' will probably find the grey man looking unconscious/dead. Part of his face, and most of his abdomen, is caved in by big rocks.

TE, I poketh thee to Outside. *poketh*

[ThirdEmperor]

And I counter with a poke to Random Plots!

[Gullara]

Hey Maxios, word of advice. Making someone promise not to do something evil doesn't work. Cause if they're good they weren't going to do anything evil, and if they're evil they LIE.

Unless it's Ghar, you can totally trust him.

[ThirdEmperor]

Hey, Ar is totally trustworthy and would never break a promise. But keeping LANTERN's PR low so they never get permission to patrol Inside is a good act, because he's protecting the people of Inside.

[Reinholdt]

I don't think there's anything Ar could do to lower Lantern's PR any lower.

[ThirdEmperor]

Trust me, he's found a way.

[Gullara]

Inconceivable!

Too lazy to find picture. >.<

[ThirdEmperor]

Ah, but there is something you don't know: Ar is not left-handed.

[Lord Magtok]

Inconceivable!

[TechnoScrabble]

I just thought of something.
Garrett is going to become a knight eventually.
He is sympathetic to the plight of others. Whether he wants to be or not.
He is aware that Vasilisa is a goddess.
Maybe he becomes a paladin of Vasilisa!

I need to stop thinking so far ahead with my characters...

And TE, I totally saw that coming.

[Reinholdt]

Eve is the goddess. Vasilisa is an aspect/carrier.

*looks at AMEN*
Well I think everyone saw that coming. And called it back when it happened too.

[ThirdEmperor]

Yeah, I figured at least a couple people had totally guessed it OoC.

[happyturtle]

Was there anyone who hadn't?

Also, I wonder why Ilpholin doesn't get the 'Aww, we'll still be friends, even though you tried to mind control me into bed, right?' hug from Quinn, like Claire did?

Because of the color of her skin? I don't really know why either.

I know. I mean at least Ilpholin thought Quinn was single and interested.

[The Bushranger]

Three reasons, actually:

1. Claire 'fessed up instead of keeping trying;
2. Quinn knows if she tried hugging Ilpholin she'd get 'moned again;
3. Quinn-with-Claire is earlier in continuity and hasn't been 'moned by Ilpholin yet.

@^ You mean Ilpholin totally missed the wedding ring Quinn made sure she could see while they were talking in WATCHTOWER's main room?

[ThirdEmperor]

Maxios, that is complete OoC knowledge. I call bull.

The situation referred to was that Maxios has an alien growing in his head

I know of several women who wear rings on that finger who aren't married. Besides, it seems rather silly to believe drow have the same culture. Not to mention the magic ring factor of a fantasy game. Presuming she even bothered looking at Quinn's hands instead of her breasts.

I know Quinn certainly didn't bring it up. She's most definitely not without fault here.

[happyturtle]

Lust =/= mind control. Everyone* in the Nexus is walking around with pheromones that monogamous people have to resist. Ilphy just has greater control over hers.

I'd have to go back and re-read the encounter to see if Quinn had given Ilpholin any 'no' signals, and I'm not bothered enough to do that. But if she didn't, then Ilpholin is no more guilty than if she'd bought Quinn a few drinks in hopes of lowering her inhibitions and getting her into bred.




*may not include everyone

[The Bushranger]

Yup. Never said Quinn wasn't to blame; in fact, she is. Just ask her; she's, in her mind, completely to blame.

Even as she also completely blames Ilpholin for it in an attempt not to feel guilty, of course. Of course, the fact that she and MentallyLimited!Tobias haven't been...together that way...in awhile didn't help.

...and, given nymph weakness and flattering compliments plus pheremones, she wasn't going to bring it up...

*thwaps Quinn*
She needs counseling sessions. *nod*

If there were any no signals, I know I missed them completely. I know Melody sent some no signals, so that's specifically why she didn't go after the smurf.
*shrugs*

[lord pringle]

I can't help but feel that Claire screwed over Quinn.

[TechnoScrabble]

I want to make a mad scientist-y character...but I want him to have an awesome backstory...
Also, any characters would need a good place to fit in in the Nexus. Keith, for instance, only seems to fit in during combat. That was a mistake.

[The Bushranger]

I can't help but feel that Claire screwed over Quinn.

Nope. The potions didn't work, remember?

But (and having refreshed my memory), nope, Quinn didn't really say no at any point. Seeing as 'hawt nymph + pheromones' was woking on her the whole time. She planned to say no at some point but the kiss happened first.

*thwaps Quinn again*

...as for her forgiving Ilphy or not, well, Melody did hustle her out of there before she got any chance.

[TechnoScrabble]

Hmmm...
Maybe he'll have metal prosthetics and tesla coils sticking out of him...
Like a benign, human mekboy!

[lord pringle]

Figure of speech! Figure of speech! I remember them turning her giggly.

[Reinholdt]

Why does she have a weakness for nymphs anyways?
I hope this isn't some latent Irene desire.

[The Bushranger]

It's not latent Irene desire , but aside from that I honestly don't know why. Quinn hasn't told me why, only that she has it.
*poke poke poke poke the silly independently-minded character*

[celtois]

Heya, anything exciting happen today while I was in class?
