Re: [Nexus] Trog's Tavern CCXXXVI
"Thanks. Maybe when I get older I'll be able to help even better. I think we're supposed to grow up pretty fast."
About four times faster than your average human. Though Rebo intends to play that off RL time. One year from now Divaonar will look like he's twelve.
"I'll just..." he plops down on his haunches, tail curling around his feet. "Sit here and wait for you?"
Meanwhile!
Plum does indeed poke the toy until it falls over. Her Mother taught her to be cautious with weird random things found in Trog's. It's a valuable lesson. Once the toy is on its back she'll watch it for a few moments before reaching out to pick it up!
Free toy!

Re: [Nexus] Trog's Tavern CCXXXVI
So long as the Lego Minifigure of Power is in the chimera's possession, she'll be harder to hurt. Given she's already supernaturally tough, this might not be immediately apparent.

Re: [Nexus] Trog's Tavern CCXXXVI
Missy takes a little longer in the bathroom than is strictly needed. Not a lot longer, but a little.
She needs to wash her hands and face, and rinse out her mouth. And then, try and push down ten year old memories.
But it's a familiar activity, and quickly accomplished. So soon she steps back out again, giving Cosmo a handful of gold pieces as she walks back to the booth, as an apology for the mess she'd left.
Back at the booth, she rests her head in her hands and stares into her untouched wine glass.My avatar! Isn't it just utterly diabolical? Ashen Lilies made it!

Re: [Nexus] Trog's Tavern CCXXXVI
Cosmo by no means turns down the money.
When Missy returns she'll find Plum showing off her new toy to her brother. They both seem to be very excited over the little lego figure.
Why?
Well...
Aside from torn up bits of enemy starspawn they've never had a toy before.
So this is a pretty big deal!
Even Raven is keeping an eye on the little plastic man!

Missy watches the children, until it tears at her heart so much that she can't handle it any longer, and she abruptly gets up to leave.
She gives the children a friendly smile as she passes them though.My avatar! Isn't it just utterly diabolical? Ashen Lilies made it!

Re: [Nexus] Trog's Tavern CCXXXVI
The sudden movement catches their attention!
Plum hurries over to the praetorian and holds out her hand.
In the hand?
The little toy she found.
She tries to keep eye contact, but the shy little girl keep having to look down at her feet. "I... umm..." Presses the hand a little closer to Missy.
Divaonar coughs slightly. "She wants you to have it," the chimera speaks up for his significantly more soft spoken sibling. "So you can remember that other people want to help keep the City safe too!"
He steps over to butt his head up against Missy's leg affectionately.
"I hope your stomach feels better soon."Warning! Random Encounter™ detected!

Re: [Nexus] Trog's Tavern CCXXXVI
Missy doesn't take the toy. "I'll remember. It's written on my heart," she says. She reaches down to give both kids hair/fur ruffles, and heads out.

Re: [Nexus] Trog's Tavern CCXXXVI
Fur ruffles for Divaonar and hair ruffles for Plum! The chimera sports medium length white fur on his head and neck along with a bit around his ankles and something of a poof running along his tail.
Plum has...
Well.
Little girl hair.
"Bye Missy."
"...goodbye Missy..."
And then one more voice chimes in.
"Farewell, ms Halifax. Thank you for indulging my siblings," comes a colder, darker voice from the rafters.Warning! Random Encounter™ detected!

Re: [Nexus] Trog's Tavern CCXXXVI
Raven gets an awkward wave from Missy. And then she's out the door and gone.
How many of them were there? Three? Four? More? She doesn't like to think about that. Not at all.
Go back to base? No, she could facetriple postingher fellow soldiers.
And then she had a terrible idea. One she knew was terrible, especially when she was already so emotionally raw and mentally drained. But it had a strange compulsion anyway.
She could go and see her parents.My avatar! Isn't it just utterly diabolical? Ashen Lilies made it!

Re: [Nexus] Trog's Tavern CCXXXVI
Delivery orc!
"I'm Divaonar," the little half-drow kid pipes up. He's presently at a table with Plum. They're trying to figure out how to make more little lego men. Or rather, trying to decide what objects would make a good stand in for lego men in their game.
Thus far it would appear as though they've settled on the always versatile salt shaker.
Yeah!
Plum whispers something in the lad's ear.
Probably questioning why the orc doesn't capitalize any of his letters. That's very troubling after all!
Divaonar hops out of his chair and walks over.Warning! Random Encounter™ detected!

Re: [Nexus] Trog's Tavern CCXXXVI
It is, isn't it? But on closer examination, the delivery orc is a girl. She hands over a parcel to Divaonar which is about the size of a ... very interesting sized box. HT is having cognitive fail, and can't come up with a good analogy. Bigger than a shoebox and smaller than a refrigerator box? That doesn't help much.
It's wrapped in brown paper.

Re: [Nexus] Trog's Tavern CCXXXVI
Approximately the size of a NINTENDO SIXTY FOUR! box?
"Uuumm..." Divaonar has no idea how to spell his name. He actually does know how to read and write. It's just that he isn't totally sure on how his name is supposed to be spelled.
So he tries to sound it out.
While writing in Drow.
The clip-board is then handed back to the orc!
And his hands are held out for the box!
As soon as said box is handed over he'll thank the orc, dash over to the table where Plum waits, and rip into the package with all the gusto of a child opening a birthday gift.Warning! Random Encounter™ detected!

Re: [Nexus] Trog's Tavern CCXXXVI
Maybe the size of two of those stacked atop one another. And the orc can't read at all! So Divaonar does not have to worry much about his spelling or penmanship.
"you welcome. hi baby!"
"hi wilma. want beer?"
"wilma not sposed to drink on job."
"that sux."
"yep."
The delivery orc leaves, with no beer.
The parcel is opened, and it turns out to have several smaller boxes inside. One is a set of matchbox cars. One is a set of toy dinosaurs - RAWWR! And there's a starter Lego set, with various bricks and an assortment of Lego people.My avatar! Isn't it just utterly diabolical? Ashen Lilies made it!

Re: [Nexus] Trog's Tavern CCXXXVI
OHMYGOSHTOYS!
Divaonar gets very excited and loud!
Plum gets very excited and remains just as quiet as she usually is!
Raven-
...
Holy crap.
Raven just climbed down out of the rafters.
And she's in humanoid form, too! A half drow, as with the others. Skin is jet black. Hair is raven black (just like her mother!) and her eyes are a dark purple. She's a bit taller than the rest of the chimeras, though not by much. She looks a little older, though in truth her body is physiologically the same age as the rest.
Her outfit, surprisingly enough, is also black. A pair of loose-fitting cargo pants. A black tank-top. Black fingerless gloves. And a black hooded cloak. The top of the hood is rather pointy, giving it a rather beak-like side view and doing an excellent job of shrouding her face.
In those shadows her eyes actually look darker than everything else.
Soooo scaaary...
Divaonar and Plum edge away from Raven a bit as their sister settles down on a seat at the table, pushes back her hood, and picks up a a little plastic pterodactyl.
She's smiling!Last edited by Rebonack; 2011-08-07 at 09:45 PM.

Re: [Nexus] Trog's Tavern CCXXXVI
Suddenly the still nameless lil bandit half drow girl peeks over the edge of the table. How did she get under it? She's very sneak of course. She looks at the toys with those big, blue eyes of hers. She reaches out to grab a lego man with one of those ninja hoods. Her face splits in a wide grin.
She sits on a chair and shifts closer to Plum. "I bet my ninja can beat your guy." She says. Is that a challenge?

Re: [Nexus] Trog's Tavern CCXXXVI
Cars and legos and dinosaurs, oh my!
"Nu uh. My knight is very brave," Plum insists as she adjusts the halberd in the little plastic man's hands. She then fishes a lego horse out of the box. "And he has a noble steed."
"Oh yeah? Well my police man is riding on this convertible!" Divaonar counters as he begins zooming a little red matchbox car around the table.
"Yes, but my space man is riding his battle trained pterodactyl," Raven replies with an increasingly wide smile. "His powers of flight and deft skills with ray-guns are truly pterrifying."
It probably won't be very long until a full on faction conflict will begin between the lego people. Can no one avert this bloody civil war?Warning! Random Encounter™ detected!

Re: [Nexus] Trog's Tavern CCXXXVI
The chimera, who will be referred to as Blue until she's named, grabs three lego katanas. One for each hand and one for the attachment on the hood.
"Well, my ninja is really really sneaky. See?" Blue marches the little man behind a car and then suddenly clutches him in her hand and tucks him behind her back. "He's gone!"

Re: [Nexus] Trog's Tavern CCXXXVI
A katana in each hand would be kinda unwieldy. They're big swords after all.
"...oh..." Plum isn't sure how to deal with stealthiness. Her knight is ill-equipped for this battle.
"My police man has fancy infrared goggles," Divaonar counters. "He'll be able to just see your sneaky ninja in the dark!"
"My space man is too high for you to reach," Raven states, holding her little person waaaaaay above her head.
No way anyone could possibly reach the guy way up there!
Hmmm...
It seems no shots have been fired.
Yet.Warning! Random Encounter™ detected!

Re: [Nexus] Trog's Tavern CCXXXVI
Suddenly something stops the dual lego katana attack!
...
It's a little plastic staff... attached to a little plastic magma monkey.
" But Foro is the bestest fighter of all the fighters ever! Foro would know because Foro is Foro. " The magma monkey says holding his little lego miniature in one hand. He's sitting across from the Chimera children... who let him back there? And why is Cosmo smiling like someone just payed him off a huge sum!

Re: [Nexus] Trog's Tavern CCXXXVI
"Eep!" eeps Plum as soon as Foro begins speaking. She quickly runs to hide behind Raven. Peeks out shyly.
Well.
Looks like the knight is out of this battle whether or not the sneak attack strikes true!
Raven lowers her space-man dinosaur rider back down to the table, shifting herself a little so as to better protect her sibling should the need arise.
Divaonar coughs slightly.
"Umm... Hello. Foro?" he quirks his head off to the side a little. "Did Mother make you? You smell like Mother made you. Or... umm... Zee?"
"...he kind of does," Plum manages to squeak.Warning! Random Encounter™ detected!

Re: [Nexus] Trog's Tavern CCXXXVI
The ninja's mighty attack is blocked by the amazing Foro! *gasp*
Blue blinks in surprise at the magma monkey's sudden appearance. Then her grin returns. "Hiya. Are you gonna play with us?" Seems she doesn't hold any of her sisters' reservations. She draws some air through her nose. "Yeah, you do." She nods vigorously.

" Oooh! Zee-ee-ee? Yeah, Foro was made by Zee-ee. She's ummm.. like... Foro's... Foro's friend that made Foro. " He says with a nod after trying to find the right words.
" You four Zee-ee children? That means you're like Foro's... umm... Foro's friend's children! That means that Foro and you four should also be friends! Oooh, what are new friends names? " The monkey asks looking between all four of the chimera children.
Then the magma elemental smiles and nods. " Of course Foro is going to play! Foro loves fights and he almost always wins too. "Last edited by ApeofLight; 2011-08-07 at 10:56 PM.

Re: [Nexus] Trog's Tavern CCXXXVI
Divaonar glances back at Raven.
Raven just shrugs.
Plum is slowly moving out from behind her sister. She's getting a little braver, but still not sure how to feel about this new person just yet.
"So you were made by Mother then. But you weren't meant to be a starspawn like us," Divaonar reasons. "But she still made you. And that means we should be friends!"
Yay!
"I'm Divaonar!"
"I am Raven."

Re: [Nexus] Trog's Tavern CCXXXVI
Foro smiles at the two that give there name and then his jaw drops in horror at the two that don't. " Whatcha!? Buwha?! What kind of Mommy and Daddy don't give there kiddies names!? " He asks in bewilderment. That's just bad parenting in Foro's mind. And where talking about a magma monkey that acts like a child here.
Then he shakes his head. " Nope Foro no meant to be star spawn thingy. Foro meant to be Foro the magma monkey. But now Foro wants to get back to the fight! Foro can take you all on! " The simian says confidently and gleefully.
