[Nexus] Home V: Somewhere to take your family

[ApeofLight]

There's no place like home. Whether in the suburbs of Inside, a desolate mountain cabin, a dingy flat somewhere... this is where PCs live. This is a meta-location, as the houses themselves may be many miles apart from one another. Or in separate dimensions.

If you want an address in this thread, please PM me and I will post the locations in this post.

Examples:

123 Generic Drive: Home of John and Jack Doe and their daughter Jane. PM <player name 1> or <player name 2> if you want to interact here. Located near Inside and the Taverna Generica.

Mary's House: Home of Mary Moe. Located many miles from Town civilization in an isolated mountain valley. Unlikely to be found by someone who doesn't know where it is. Mary Moe's player is <player name 3>.

================================================

OOC Rules:

1. Please post location tags on each post. Ex: [123 Generic Drive] or [Doe House]

2. The players who own each residence control what goes on within it. A residence is a quasi-PC and cannot be godmodded. You can attempt to break in / burn it down / knock on the door, etc, but it is up to the player controlling the home to let you know what happens next. If a player wants to make their home entirely impervious to everything, that is their right (however boring that might be). Players are permitted to make additional ooc rules if they want that apply to their own homes. By entering their property, you are agreeing to roleplay within their cosmology.

3. Play nice. Any disagreements between players, please take it to one of the OOC threads or PMs.

1312 Hidden Valley Road: Home of Judy the Assassin and Mint, their daughter, Xerina, and adopted Grey Render; Rocky. Players: Lex-kat, Quinsar, Neon Knight

Eldena's Cottage: The dwelling of the Viera red mage Eldena. On the outskirts of Town. Not very difficult to find. Appears to be shaped out of a tree. That's because it was. Yay magic! People are free to enter and exit as they please. But don't break anything unless Eldena is there. Player: Viera champion

Clearing in the woods - A one story log cabin built in a large clearing in the woods not far from the Dancing Fox Inn. Complete with wooden fence. This is the residence of Zaydon, Opie, and Kate. Anybody can stop by, but if nobody's home, the place will be locked. Zaydon and Opie's players are KerfuffleMach2, and Kate's player is celtois. Note: Zaydon is now deceased, and Opie has taken to living in DFI. As it stands, the cabin is abandoned.

Junkyard workshop - In a junkyard in the ACROverse, what looks to be a shoddy shack has been built. This building was made by Runner before he joined GLoG. Inside is a high tech workshop and laboratory. The building has very high security, and any attempt to break in immediately causes the workshop to alert Runner, which will bring him over to investigate. Runner and Sentry both have security access. Runner's player is KerfuffleMach2, and Sentry's player is FaceofEvil.

Alhana's Dwelling - In the far reaches of Acro can be found the nice little wooden house of the banished elven princess, Alhana Starbreeze. She made it herself with some magical help from man known as Lee. On the outside and inside are intricately carved designs. It has two bedrooms a kitchen and a bathroom. Player: Viera champion

The House of the Rising Sun - Large house on a headleand facing the Emerald Sea, which, by strange happenstance, borders both Town and Acronymia. Home to Natasha, Oracle of the Dawn, and occasionally Khiansa Daggerfall, adventurer, and Natasha's sometimes lover.
Player: Kid Kris
Anyone can drop by to seek the Oracle's wisdom, or rest in the gardens, or just to say hi and share a pot of tea, but please PM, as the player may not read the thread.
Further Description, may update.

4224 Wing House - Home of George Kingsley. Player: Gimliggamer

75 Ocean Rd - Daisuke's new house, this house is near the beach, and has a mixture of traditional Japanese styling and modern comforts. Player: horngeek

New Rock Household - A nice place in the city's suburban area, just inside the walls. It was specially built to appear larger on the inside than it does on the outside. It has the works - White picket fence, workshed out back, spacious basement(with attached laundry room), a study, kitchen, bedrooms, guest room(with it's own bathroom), living room, parlor, dining room, entry hall, three bathrooms...Everything a typical suburban family could want, complete with a nice hardwood floor.

Darn shame Lucas and Lillith are turning the study into a room meant solely for displaying adventuring trophies, and Arthur's going to be using the workshed for his crazy experiments. The neighbors are going to complain, no doubt.
Players: blackouttwo and Artemis97

Basil's Cabin - In an especially woody and remote area, some ways from the city, a cabin sits in the woods. It doesn't seem much different from any of the other hunting cabins one sometimes runs across, except that its scale is sized for minotaurs rather than humans. This is where Edijar has been hiding out since the coup and revolution in Inside, with his girlfriend Charity. The cabin, as may be guessed, belongs to Basil, one of Charity's former "friends with benefits", and he offered it to them when it was clear they couldn't safely return to Edijar's home. Players: Wolfbane and Happyturtle

Brendan's Upstairs - The 'upstairs apartment' at Brendan's House of Hobbies. A fairly sizeable yet still cozy home for the proprietor, his wife, and their guests. Possibly infested with lionfish. Players: Recaiden and Bushranger

Al's Lab - Home of AMEN scientist Al Rato. He does most of his experiments and research here. Living with him is the cyborg Delta 88, or just Delta for short. Her programming has been modified by Al, making her a live-in servant of sorts. Al's player is ApeofLight, and Delta's player is KerfuffleMach2.

The Tarmikos Studio - This space serves as both a living area and workshop for artificer and plane-hopper Niara Tarmikos. It is, in fact, its own separate plane of existence - and a minuscule one at that. It comprises, in its entirety, of a single room (around 180ft. long, 60ft. wide and 30ft. tall), and is split into many separate rooms with simple partition walls. To those who know of its existence and have the means to travel there, it is easy to gain access to. Niara's player is Baeleck.

Phil's Warehouse - 3224 Seaside Rd Big, slightly rusted corrugated steel warehouse that was once abandoned, sits on a lot that's been overgrown with weeds and small trees and bushes and such...has a gravel driveway leading up to it...and...near the docks...
Oh, yeah, it has a hydraulic lift leading to an underground garage! And the inside is full of parts and half-finished inventions! Run by TechnoScrabble.

[The Bushranger]

Phil's

Phil sits down on the bed next to Erin, sending ripples out through the water filled mattress, and places four evenly spread fingers on Erin's shoulders, pressing down firmly but gently and retracting, then pushing again, then retracting. He's loosening up the muscles so that nothing twists or knots when he gets to the really comfy part.

Erin hums happily, bending her legs. Perhaps posing a bit?
"Mmm. My. You're pretty good at this, you know?" she whispers, smiling.

[ApeofLight]

[Al's]

Ivaz smirks. Oh, really? Is that so?

Well, doesn't matter anyways.

((Somebody want to make new thread?))

Al raises an eyebrow. " What do you mean? "

[TechnoScrabble]

Phil's



Erin hums happily, bending her legs. Perhaps posing a bit?
"Mmm. My. You're pretty good at this, you know?" she whispers, smiling.

Phil just smiles and tilts his head in a sort of half nod. He rubs his knuckles along the side of the spine, pushing it slowly back into perfect position, and pushes in with his palms, tightening the cartilage.

[KerfuffleMach2]

Al raises an eyebrow. " What do you mean? "

You're so smart. You figure it out.

She really likes toying with him.

[The Bushranger]

[Phil's]

Erin hums more, almost purring, in fact, and squirms a little under his skillful massage.
"Oh yeah. That feels so good. I can't believe how good this feels!"

[ApeofLight]

[Al's Home]

Al continues to frown and look at Ivaz. " Just... wait... where Dani and Alexis here? " Al's stare turns into a glare. " Where's Delta Ivaz? If you tell me now I will put everything bad that has happened between us behind me. Just tell me where she is now. "

[TechnoScrabble]

Phil's
"Wait until I get to your feet," Phil teases, "There's this one nerve down there that just...it just...like...wow!"
Phil works his palm-pushing down towards Erin's legs as if to accentuate how awesome the feet will be.

[KerfuffleMach2]

[Al's Home]

Ivaz shrugs. Couldn't tell ya. Not here, I know that. I don't know where those two took her. Hell, I don't even know where those two are from.

[The Bushranger]

[Phil's]

Erin chuckles. "I prefer being massaged places other than my feet, but I'll take your word for it."
She grins, and relaxes, still humming happily!

[ApeofLight]

[Al's Home]

Al glares at Ivaz. " Fine then. I might need your help finding the spirits but I can find Delta on my own. " Al holds up his watch, hits a few buttons and suddenly a map appears where the watch face was. He then presses a few more buttons and a extremely high pitch sounds from it, probably not being able to be heard by most humans.

[TechnoScrabble]

Phil's
Phil's hands stop at her calves.
"Well, if you insist..."

[KerfuffleMach2]

[Al's Home]

That's fine. I wasn't offering.

She watches the map, though.

[ApeofLight]

[Al's Home]

There's a small red arrow that should be pointing in the direction of Delta. " Okay, fine. " The sound of beating wings can be heard not too far away.

[KerfuffleMach2]

[Al's Home]

That direction would be GLoG.

So, what's your big plan, huh?

[The Bushranger]

[Phil's]

"Oh, go ahead, silly," Erin says, looking over her shoulder and sticking her tongue out at Phil.

((One more post, then deadtime for dinner0)

[TechnoScrabble]

Phil's
"I actually didn't know which area you were implying," Phil admits and moves on to the feet. It will take a few seconds of rubbing them, but right at the center, there is the fabled 'wow' nerve!

[ApeofLight]

[Al's Home]

" It's simple really, I'm going to take Zobo here and go take her back of course. " Al does a quick check on himself making sure he has the fire ring and the life dagger as the flapping of wings gets closer. Said wings seem to belong to a giant eagle... with the body of a lion... and the shell of a turtle...and the tail of a horse... oh and it's about the size of two griffins or a small dragon.

[KerfuffleMach2]

[Al's Home]

Ivaz stares at Zobo for a moment.

Uh-huh...And what if Dani and Alexis fight back? Or got friends to help?

[The Bushranger]

[Phil's]

"Maybe I should educate you, then," Erin observes, relaxing more, before...
Wow!

...once her nerves allow her to speak, she grins. "OK. That was good. How about you work on my shoulders some more though? Maybe in front?"

((and dinner))

[ApeofLight]

[Al's Home]

Ivaz stares at Zobo for a moment.

Uh-huh...And what if Dani and Alexis fight back? Or got friends to help?

" Well you see, Zobo has a little monkey friend called Bozo. " Ivaz will now see the monkey on the back of the turtle shell as Zobo comes in and lands. It looks like a monkey you would find with an organ grinder except it's teeth are all filed to points and it has a crazy look in it's eyes. " You see, Bozo can explode and then regenerate. That plus Zobo should be enough manpower and if it isn't I'll use the fire and life spirits. Now if you'll excuse me. " Al says and goes to climb up onto Zobo.

[KerfuffleMach2]

[Al's Home]

Ivaz chuckles and will lean backwards on Zobo.

You think it's gonna be that easy? Heh. She shakes her head. Well, don't say I didn't warn you.

[ApeofLight]

[Al's Home]

Al gives Ivaz a side long glare from the corner of his eyes. " If you really want you can come along. Though I have no clue as to why you would. " The mad scientist says from atop the strange lion-turtle thing.

[KerfuffleMach2]

[Al's Home]

Ivaz grins. Take a wild guess.

And she climbs up onto the creature.

[ApeofLight]

[Al's Home]

And as Ivaz climbs on the beast takes off towards GLoG.

[TechnoScrabble]

Phil's
Phil smirks and obliges.
"But of course. I am yours, dear lady!"
He really does like hamming it up, doesn't he?

[The Bushranger]

[Phil's]

Perhaps he's a LARGE HAM!

Erin, meanwhile, grins.
"Oh? I'll remember that," she says, winking, and rolling over.

[TechnoScrabble]

Phil's
Phil, like I said, happily obliges.
With Erin right in front of him like that, he's in no position to argue.
Or she's in no position for him to argue. I forget how it goes.
He also forgets what you're supposed to do on the front of the shoulders so...the typical rubbing them with the space between your thumb and index finger I guess? Whatever.
"Er...wow..."
He blushes a little when she rolls over.

[The Bushranger]

[Phil's]

"Like what you see?" Erin asks softly, reaching up to take Phil's hands in hers and pause the massage. Right when he can get the best eyeful, of coure.

[TechnoScrabble]

Phil's
"Would you be bothered if I said 'Hell yes'?" Phil gasps.
It's a good view. Lucky bastard.
