{Nexus} GLoG LXXIV: Back to the Numerals!

[Zefir]

[GAZEBO FIGHT!]

Andy will note that his attacks ave no effect, but instead of running away he will just slide into the beast. The fire should be no problem, since the armore was made to prevent him.

Andy will reach for the point where the other eye of the Gazebo is and like Rae did he will create a shpere around him as well, trying to crush this as well. Blind monsters are easier to fight.

[Lost_Deep]

"Why don't you check?"

"Well... okay. Stand still so I can get at it." If he does, Kate will take a good look at the door.

"I'm going to knock first. tell me about anything weird." She will then try to tap on the small door with her finger.

[The Alexandrian]

Sure. We need to go outside though.

Zero says, sounding slightly worried.

[Infirmary -to- GLoG Campsite]

"Valaira" will simply nod her head and then follow Zero outside.

Valaira doesn't cue in on Zero's worry. She's not as attentive as usual, at current.

"SHADOW BALL FLAMETHROWER COMBO!"
Simon created a shadow ball and threw it at the Gazebo, it got bigger and bigger until Voltron used flamethrower on it, catching it on fire and making it like a fireball.
"MEGAN! ACT CUTE! STING! STRING SHOT!"
Stin shot more webbing at the Gazebo as the shadowball of fire zoomed towards the Gazebo. Megan became the exact definition of D'AWWWW.

[Lix Lorn]

The burning wooden monstrosity charges straight towards Rae and Emily, the remaining eye locked onto them with its enormous black pupil. The orb stays facing them no matter how the gazebo turns or shifts. Lord Gazebo gives another one of His bellowing roars, causing the ground to shake from the noise.

((Apologies if I forgot to address anyone.))

Emily is now getting annoyed. It's crashed her wedding, attacked the guests, and has the temerity to not be hurt by her lightning.
"Hey! YOU! ELDRITCH GAZEBO DEMON THING!" she shouts, storming towards it, a cloak that she wasn't wearing before starting to appear on her back.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?! WHAT GIVES YOU THIS RIGHT!? Even the OLD ONES know to get the heck out of my way!"
Storming closer, and anyone who watches television through the fourth wall may be recognising her outfit, as she decides to draw power from an utterly unsubtle reference.
"SO ANSWER MY GORRAMM QUESTION!" she screams, as with a sudden flash, two distinctive, orange, triangular sunglasses are upon her face.
"WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?"

[Trobby]

Kris doesn't so much dive away as she does a mother[redacted] pirouette off the handle/ground and into the seating area as the Gazebo rears itself up.

Then proceeds to launch herself at it again, both fists wreathed in fire, attempting to outright tear apart the support structure with her fiery claws.


Evian, meanwhile, watches on in dismay, standing next to Lewis the Pixie.

"If this gets any more out of hand, I may need to call my big brother in on this mess. And I don't think anyone would really want things to get THAT desperate..."

[ThirdEmperor]

"Well... okay. Stand still so I can get at it." If he does, Kate will take a good look at the door.

"I'm going to knock first. tell me about anything weird." She will then try to tap on the small door with her finger.

When Kate taps the door it pops open, and the man's expression goes blank. Inside the door is an odd, swirling vortex of colors, but Kate will not have much time to stare before a hand pops out of the door and begins blindly flailing around, trying to find something to use as leverage in order to haul itself out.

[Lost_Deep]

"Eek! uh... hello? Can you hear me?"

Kate does not let the hand grab her. However, she does look around for a stick.

[Rae Artemi]

[Wedding Site]

Rae smiles and holds his hand out toward the Gazebo, a giant hand of blue energy mirroring his own, reaching out to try to stop the gazebo's charge and grip around it, his strength reinforced by the active Green Lantern near him, and the blue figure that seems to be standing behind him. "Yeah, you may want to answer my wife's question. Don't worry, no matter how you speak, I can translate it."

Megan, with her cuteness, may very well find both of Rae's younger siblings trying to pet and love on her, because adorable!

And Evian will probably find herself with a god on either side of her. "Now, you probably don't want to do that. This isn't your place to protect. It's theirs, and if they can't protect it, what right do they have to keep it?" Aerynn says, crossing his arms. "Besides, this is Rae's place now, and he's gonna protect it with his life. That means that Em's gonna protect it too, to protect him. Together, I'm pretty sure they can take this thing, even without all this extra help. With it, this is gonna be a cakewalk." Holt says, hands in his pocket, nodding and smiling.

[KerfuffleMach2]

"I'm not sure, actually..."

[Island]

"Well, we could always do this instead!"
And Dani tosses a handful of sand at Zamira!
Pfft!

Krystal laughs. Yeah, I guess that works, too.

[ThirdEmperor]

The hand continues to flail around, and.... Not much else. It appaears someone is stuck inside the confused man's brain. He probably should have used a human-sized door.

[Lost_Deep]

Aha! A stick! Kate Kyland taps the hand on the palm with the stick, and then do her best to pull.

...This probably won't do any good, but she will try. It's a fairly solid stick, might make a good walking stick.

[ThirdEmperor]

At first Kate's pulling doesn't seem to do anything, until after a few seconds there's suddenly a popping sound, and the arm is pulled out of the door entirely, shortly followed by it's owner. The psychonaut falls face first into the dirt, before picking himself back up, brushing the dirt of his jacket and... Staring at the gazebo in the distance. "Oh..... Dangit, I knew I was right! And late too. Er, you got a watch?"

[Lost_Deep]

"No, I don't. I keep meaning to buy a watch, but-"

Now, she notices the obvious.

"WHY IS THE SUN BLACK? WHY IS THE MOON RED? WHAT IS THAT THING?"

That thing is a eldritch horror, awakened in all it's glory.

[ThirdEmperor]

"Wait, the sun is- The psychonaut suddenly ceases talking and looks up, covering his eyes with one arm. "Oh. Oh crud. I don't know. But follow me, I'll figure it out on the way!" With that, the psionic spy dashes away, heading towards the gazebo.

[Lost_Deep]

Kyland follows! How did she not notice? Who is this guy? What is that thing? Is that gazebo and those people fighting? Why is life so confusing all of a sudden?

Because you are in the Nexus. The Nexus is confusing.

Thank you, brain. Now figure out the rest of the stuff.

The apocalypse is happening. All that's missing is stars falling from the sky.

So I arrive just in time for the world to end?

Yep.

[ThirdEmperor]

"Got it!" The psychonaut shouts suddenly. "What are the two things absolutely everyone sees every day? The sun and the moon! Therefor, obviously, if They, if They wanted to ensure Their subliminal hypnotic messages would affect absolutely everyone, that's what They'd do! Hide them on the nearest satellite and the nearest star, and cause some, some kind of fake astrological event to cover it up!" He grins, turning to look at Kate. "Does that make sense to yo- whoah!" As he takes his eyes of his feet, the psychonaut trips over a root, causing him to fall flat on his face again.

[DoomITP]

[Infirmary -to- GLoG Campsite]

"Valaira" will simply nod her head and then follow Zero outside.

Valaira doesn't cue in on Zero's worry. She's not as attentive as usual, at current.

Once Zero reaches an area he thinks is safe the blue sparks get very close to his hands until they seem to form something solid. They eventually extend over his forearms, creating claws.

I can't transform much more than this without losing control.

[The Alexandrian]

[Outside]

Valaira has too many things on her mind!

Scatterbrain time!

"That's really cool, but losing control sounds awful. Maybe Master could help you with that!"

*Sigh.*

"If I ever find her again..."

*Stares at sun.*

"..."

*Dramatically points at sun.*

"Objection! The sun isn't supposed to be that color!"

*Eyes flit to Zee.*

*Dramatically points at Zee.*

"And what's that giant thingy over there? That thingy that just rose out of the mountains couldn't be..."

*Is distracted by something dashing across the ground.*

*Dramatically points at...squirrel?*

"There's a squirrel over here, Zero!"

[DoomITP]

The claws disappear and Zero's hands go back to normal.

Really?

Zero asks, not noticing the squirrel.

[The Alexandrian]

[Outside]

Valaira cheerily nods.

"Really!"

"Master taught me nearly everything I know!"

"And the sun is black."

"There's also a monster over there scratching itself."

"It's a little unbecoming..."

Valaira speaks the truth!

She playfully pounces on the squirrel, picks it up, and sets the fuzzy animal on her shoulder!

"I like squirrels! They're soooo cuddly and cute!"

"Except when they're not."

[DoomITP]

If those squirrels get upset they might bite you. Be careful, Valaira.

Zero says as he watches the giant monster.

[The Alexandrian]

[Outside]

Squirrels wouldn't dare hurt Valaira! She loves them!

...

That's a big fat lie.

Valaira moves to pet the squirrel!

And then it slaps her across the face with one of its tiny paws!

"Now that's just rude!"

Valaira scolds as the squirrel leaps off of her shoulder and scampers away as fast as it can!

It only has a five second headstart, after all.

[DoomITP]

Are you going to chase that squirrel?

Zero asks once he is done looking in the direction of the monster.

[The Alexandrian]

[Outside]

"Without a doubt!"

"It challenged me to a duel!"

Valaira smiles.

Seriously?

Seriously?

Four Mississippi...

[DoomITP]

I think the squirrel was probably just scared of you.

Zero would rather that Valaira did not attack the squirrel.

[The Alexandrian]

[Outside]

Zero used logic!

It's Super Effective!

"..."

"But I'm not even covered in blood this time!"

Valaira is confused!

She got a headache from her confusion!

[DoomITP]

I think it is just because the squirrel is small and is afraid of people that are larger than it.

[The Alexandrian]

[Outside]

"So if someone's bigger than you, you can slap them in the face without getting in trouble?"

Valaira asks, still puzzled.

Humans sure are odd creatures...

Headaches are not fun for Valaira!

[DoomITP]

What happened is the squirrel thought that you were going to hurt it so it defended itself.
