[NEXUS] OoC 11: The Misadventures Continue...

[iElf]

S.C.I.E.N.C.E.!

an organisation of MAD SCIENTISTS! MUHAHAHAHAHA!

[Mina Kobold]

When I say honorable ninja, I mean...
------
Bad Guy: I'll give you thousands of GP if you spare me, despite my great evils!

Ninja: My honor demands I say no! Keep your gold *slash slash slash*

We were wondering how you got that idea about us ninjas!

<.<
>.>

Anyway, wouldn't the honourable ones be the samurai?...

Hmm, samurai *Sinister grin*

[Reinholdt]

All the same, I kinda want to make a low powered knight with the expectation that he'll get killed hours after he's introduced. It could be fun. Of course, I have plots and other stuff I should do if I have the free time, instead of making a new character...
But, fortunately, I've finished the stuff I was working on, so I should be able to get back to the stuff I've been neglecting!

YAY!
*pushes into Vulpan Keep*

But yeah. Making low powered characters with no driving plot behind them and no attachments makes for great fun in letting random horrible things happen to them. The go with the flow idea.

[FireFox]

Really? I thought it was called the sadism idea.

[Morty]

Nexus could definetly use some more low-tech, low-powered characters. Not just to be killed either.
What it doesn't need is more evil organizations. AMEN and the unaffiliated bad guys are enough.

[Reinholdt]

Really? I thought it was called the sadism idea.

Oh no. That's when you do horrible things to characters with attachments and that you like.
*shanks Reinholdt*

Heck, SAINT could be considered an evil organization. And you see how much activity it gets.

PEACE was also an evil organization that didn't work out so well.

[Lix Lorn]

All right, I feel like I'm ready to give Nexus another try. If someone will lead me and make sure I don't get lost like I did every other time I tried? Lix? Rae?

As soon as I finish this plot, I'm going to be making reality bend itself as I go on a mighty quest to bring back Rae. I'll probably spend some time despondent before then, so sure you can meet her as she gets drunk in Trog's or something. :)

...I got ninjad by about two pages. xD

[Morty]

Missed that post before...

Of course you are going to want to interact with other people, but when you are first starting out having a friend to show you the ropes helps a lot.

That's true, but I felt like pointing it out anyway. I really don't like cliqueness so I try to help in preventing it.

[Moff Chumley]

Agreed with Morty. Cliqueness, especially in Nexus, is a problem. Also, incedentally, my least favorite thing about the playground in general. Probably because I'm not in one.

[Zefir]

Andy would be full in this plot. Because at the moment he thinks of leaving LATERN.

Hey, that's where Xavier drinks. Hi five!

That would be an awkward conversation.

Why so down doll.

Someone killed my boyfriend.

Who was that?

Rae.

Oh.....

[Blue Ghost]

Ah, can you reserve a spot for me? That sounds like an easy way to get into Nexus.

[Gullara]

Ah, can you reserve a spot for me? That sounds like an easy way to get into Nexus.

I would recommend just making a character and throwing him/her in Trog's. Chat with some people, maybe get involved with someone else. If your still there when Lix is done with our plot then join up with her.

[iElf]

*pokes happy to trogs if she's around*

...I seam to have a lot of characters who are or were slaves...

[The Bushranger]

Yay!
*pushes Reinholdt into Vulpan Keep after*

Also, welcome to the Nexus, Blue!

[Project_Mayhem]

Huh, bluh, much happenings,. I'm still not properly online till about the 2nd. PM me if anyone needs me.

[celtois]

Hey, Rae. Don't know if you saw. But you're going to need to respond to my new Trogs post.

[happyturtle]

No it doesn't. We have rules against Maxios teleporting things into the base, remember?

The rules stated that MAXIOS couldn't teleport things.
The Courier ain't Maxios

If the box still can't teleport, a very scared delivery man will run in, and put the package in front of Zefir

HALlelujah made it so that only members get to teleport in and out of AMEN, if I recall correctly. However, the chances of me recalling something correctly are only fair to middling.

[Morty]

At least she isn't speaking Gaelic.

[nitpick]There's no Gaelic language. Gaelic is a group of languages containing Irish, Scottish and Manx languages.[/nitpick]

[The Bushranger]

*looks at Morty*
*looks at Quinn*
*looks at Morty*

*whistles innocently away...*

[horngeek]

Okay, Irish then. Hey, I read in a book which referenced a 'Gaelic language' once.

...it was a fiction book, but still! It was set in the real world!

Writers make mistakes like these more often than you'd think. Especially since the Manx language is dead, Scottish Gaelic is almost dead and Irish Gaelic - that I know a bit - is, while not dead, definetly not widely spoken in Ireland. So it's an easy mistake to make.

[horngeek]

Okay. Since I previously made an oopsie by taking Matthew Reilly at his word, I should know better.

He is a good author, though. His books read a lot like Die Hard.

[Morty]

>.>
Yes... it also appears that I made a mistake myself because the Manx language isn't dead. Oh, well. The Gaelic languages aren't widely known in any case.

[The Bushranger]

I've made multiple references to Quinn's singing being Celtic and/or Gaelic. Without defining anything more specific as to the language.

*debates whether to be more specific and have Quinn's "Celtic" be Manx or Breton* <_<

[ThirdEmperor]

I have an awesome idea for (yet another) character.

Magnio the Magnificent!
The greatest magician there was or ever will be!*
Wonder** as he performs feats of magic unimaginable!***
Gasp**** as he escapes peril unspeakable!*****
Laugh****** as he performs the entire "Streetcar named Desire"******* by himself while tapdancing!
Now with a chorus of 1,000!******* dancing elephants!

*According to him.
**Lack of wonder not acceptable reason for demanding your money back.
***Nor is being able to imagine the feats of magic performed.
****Nor is failing to gasp at the danger unspeakable.
*****Nor is being able to speak of the danger unspeakable.
******Nor is lack of laughter.
*******Play performed nay or may not have anything to do with "A Streetcar Named Desire"
********One thousand ephants is a matter of perspective. Do not harass the management if you percieve only one.

[happyturtle]

*hordes of MagLawyers descend on Magnio with orders to Cease and Desist all use of the Mag- prefix, which is a registered trademark of MagIndustries*

[Project_Mayhem]

I think he'd be awesome if he couldn't really do magic, just told everyone he could and made up excuses all the time

[ThirdEmperor]

That's just it. He's a stage magician, not an actual wizard, and doesn't believe in real magic. I can just imagine it.

Magnio: "I am the greatest magician there ever was or will be!"

Everyone else: "Prove it."

Magnio: *Pulls out a deck of cards* "Pick a card, any card!"

[Gullara]

I'm liking this idea now.
