[NEXUS] OoC 22: ALL HAIL THE BUTT HAT!!!

[ThirdEmperor]

I made a rain goddess! She turns into tiny clouds.


Isn't she just so cwoot?

Is that.... Derpy Hooves in rain goddess form?

[Lost_Deep]

Last call for a landing site! Anyone have any preferences to where the silvery spacecraft lands?

[Beans]

Is that.... Derpy Hooves in rain goddess form?

Nooooo.

Also, D'AWWW TINY LITTLE RAIN GODDESS I WANT TO PAT HER HEAD AND GIVE HER COOKIES AND SOME SOUND ADVICE

[VampireRot]

Well, I don't really like apocaplots at all, so that's out of the question, I guess...

Ah, but it's a Rebo apocaplot! It has a bit more silliness than the others we've had in the past.

And no fistfights with Cthulhu, or any of the other Old Gods. Not yet, at least.

[Gullara]

And no fistfights with Cthulhu, or any of the other Old Gods. Not yet, at least.

I can't wait for the fistfights.

[ThirdEmperor]

Dangit! Now I want to play a boxer character who's power is that his fists are utterly invulnerable. He can punch anything.

[VampireRot]

Dangit! Now I want to play a boxer character who's power is that his fists are utterly invulnerable. He can punch anything.

But what would happen if he punched his fists together?

[Lost_Deep]

Hard enough? A sonic boom. Haven't you read superhero comics?

[The Alexandrian]

Dangit! Now I want to play a boxer character who's power is that his fists are utterly invulnerable. He can punch anything.

Captain Falcon!

Falcon Pawnch!

[ThirdEmperor]

But what would happen if he punched his fists together?

Obviously, he'd end up punching an atom in two between his fists, causing a nuclear explosion.

[Shadowcaller]

And everything but his two fists would be instantly vaporizer?

[ThirdEmperor]

Well, he sure wouldn't be alive anymore.

[Rebonack]

Well, I don't really like apocaplots at all, so that's out of the question, I guess...

Happy has taken part in mah apocoplawt and she had fun with it!

And Happy usually hates apocoplawts!

So take that as you will.

I'm trying to keep this all as non-intrusive as possible since I know some people don't like Nexus-wide events. Trying to break the usual mold as much as possible. Because my goal here is to see people having fun, y'know? If my plawt creates not-fun then I'm doing something wrong and I want people to tell me.

[Zefir]

I noticed that all talk about the apocalypse, would anyone be so kind to tell me what the hell it is? I just have no idea and only noticed the ting in AMEN.

[Lost_Deep]

So the Stars are Almost Right, which means that the Eldrtich Abominations are stirring. Zee, the one beast that does not want to end the world, is handing out quests to stop the others... and trying not to move too much lest she level Inside.

[Rebonack]

Everywhere

A black sun rises over the Nexus, shrouding everything in a surreal twilight haze. Undead normally harmed by sunlight will find this unnatural illumination invigorating.

...some may even sparkle. You have been warned!

[TechnoScrabble]

Isn't she just so cwoot?

I would marry your artistic skill if I could.
Of course, it'd have to fight happyturtle's wit and rot's flammability first.


Also, if anyone wants to team up with Garrett or the steampunk league of heroic persons to fight some of the undead starting to pop up around Inside, lemme know.

[Halae]

So... the vampires are getting buffs from not only the blood moon, but also from the black sun?

Well, damn.

we're screwed if they can get over being sparklers.

[VampireRot]

So... the vampires are getting buffs from not only the blood moon, but also from the black sun?

Well, damn.

Nah. The sun's out in the day, and the moon's out at night. See? So they're only getting one buff at a time.


Unless the eldritch monsters made the sun come out with the moon. In which case, you're all screwed bloodbags.

[BladeofOblivion]

So... the vampires are getting buffs from not only the blood moon, but also from the black sun?

Yeah. Jakob might want to wait a bit before he tries to settle that thing with Gozreh.

[Halae]

Ghar actually stated that the Bloodmoon was visible during the day... so...

[ThirdEmperor]

Yeah. Jakob might want to wait a bit before he tries to settle that thing with Gozreh.

Actually, it's more of a question of whether Gozreh will wait to settle things with Jacob. After all, he wouldn't be a very good villain if he didn't try to kill the hero who accidentally handed him ultimate power, would he?

[Gullara]

Ghar actually stated that the Bloodmoon was visible during the day... so...

Well, I mostly meant that like how the moon is sometimes visible during the day, so is the blood moon, just more noticeably so.

In any case, screwed bloodbags. Bwahaha!

Everywhere except where you don't want it to be, of course.


Also: rain goddess is ADORABLE.

[Rebonack]

Whuh oh!

K'rax-Naggath is moving and that means time for an earthquake!

Pretty major one. 'bout a seven pointer. That means standing up is kinda hard and lots of stuff falls over. Poorly constructed buildings may collapse.

Anyone standing outside may very well notice the giant monster rising out of the earth, stretching all the way from the sea to the distant mountains. One of which crumbles when her head pulls out of it.

[Gullara]

Westside- Murder Street

Gozreh snarls as his prey vanishes and turns to face the charging pit fiend. Pretty much nothing happens as the distance between the two rapidly vanishes, nor does Gozreh make any attempt to dodge as the servant reaches out- And then the ground beneath the servant of the Burning Light explodes upwards, a huge chunk of the sidewalk that was previously located beneath the pit lord's feet shooting upwards with enough force to easily send even a being as strong as a pit lord flying. At the same time, Gozreh neatly ducks, hopefully evading the servant's attack even if the telekinetic blast somehow fails to throw it off balance.

The downside of this, however, is that while Durin's attack would have previously just hit him in the torso with little effect, it now strikes him directly across his right eye, leaving him half-blind and slicing a long, thin cut across his face. This permenanty disrupts his telekinetic control, so that the slab of pavement simply falls back to the ground instead of clobbering the servant like he had planned to do.

Snarling, he spins and slashes at Durin, aiming at the drowpire's sword arm.

Hells, TE. Whatever happened to scaling him down? I'm sorry, but this is exactly why I get frustrated every time I get into combat with you. In all honesty, I really don't mind OP characters. But when an OP character becomes aggressive? I don't want to touch it with a ten foot pole.

[ThirdEmperor]

Um, sorry, I don't see what's so overpowered. Yes, he did just shatter the ground beneath someone's feet, but it took him time. He can't do that in the heat of battle, which is why I pointed out the pit lord and Durin should or ably not be attacking him one by one. Also, he just lost an eye, which means he can't do that or his hypnotism gaze anymore. Considering he's fighting a pit lord who can apparently both regenerate and throw holy flames around (and if the pit lord actually manages to hit him with the Burning Light, he'll be crispy fried pretty much instantly) and a rather strong vampire, I'm really not sure how he's overpowered for the fight. Especially seeing as both the blood moon and dark sun are boosting his strength at the moment, which is the only reason he can do that with his telekinesis at all.

[Warpfire]

To The Swamp of Not-Quite Sanity and Submarine plot people- so I'm kinda leaving FFRP. You can either play it like my character suddenly disappeared or just retcon him away.

[Devixer]

So, I kinda wanted to get started with MURDER, but I'm not sure on how to go about it, with the apocaplawt going on. Would it be alright?

[ThirdEmperor]

I'm pretty sure no one would mind if you started MURDER. Which part of Riverside is MURDER located in anyway?

@Warpfire: Sorry to see you go.

@Ghar: Also, the fight looks to me as if it's about to turn into a four vs. one beatdown, one Gozreh probably won't be recovering from anytime soon. By which I mean he'll probably need some sort of villainous scheme to recover if he gets hit with that Burning Light stuff. Fire hurts him, holy energy is seriously dangerous to him, but holy fire? Eep.
