[Nexus] AMEN XLI: eXtra Large Injury

[Mindfreak]

[BioLab]

Karyana sits down in another chair, near the one she's in.

"Well, interdimensional communication, of course. And I'd need to be able to use it from anywhere in the dimension. Having it hooked up to a camera system, that could be rearranged as needed, would be nice too."

BioLab
Megan begins to type quickly.
"How large of an area do you plan to cover with the cameras?"

[Lady Serpentine]

[BioLab]

"Pretty big. Large enough to be able to get video of my wedding, and that's going to cover quite a lot of room. I'm not sure of the exact measurements, though. Would looking at the area I want covered help?"

[Mindfreak]

BioLab
Megan nods.
"Yes it would. I'd need to see any and all corridors in the area you want covered along with rooms you want more secure than others."

[Lady Serpentine]

[BioLab]

"Quite a bit of it isn't inside... But I'm sure it'll still help."

A hand made of shadows offers itself to Megan.

She takes the hand after setting her robots to Guard Mode.

It attempts to teleport them to Karyana's Forest

BioLab
It works seeing as Megan can't stop a teleportation in any way possible.

[The Alexandrian]

[Dorms - Becky's Quarters]

Clarissa is quite impressed, frankly! The decor of this chamber is veeery classy (or at least appropriate for the occasion and coinciding with Clarissa's current mood).

"You've got good taste, apparently."

Clarissa playfully announces, meandering over to the bed and brushing her right index finger against it before stalking back over to Becky and attempting to wrap her arms about Becky's neck tenderly.

"We'll have to be careful not to ruin too much of it."

Because Clarissa is a detached, shapeshifting, untamed, domineering, and animalistic partial (1/7th) lust incarnate with ludicrously destructive tendencies who would probably try to rip this room apart if left to her own devices.

[ThePhantom]

Gordon's Office

Gordon looks over the pay sets, and production incease. Hey, not all the work of running AMEN is trying to get the members to do things.

[The Bushranger]

[Dorms - Becky's Quarters]

Becky grins broadly, and goes to wrap her arms arould Clarissa's waist.
"Well, we could be careful...but where in the world would be the fun in that?"

Because Becky is a detached, submissive, rather...rough-playing shadowdancer, the curtain should probably fall right about...now.

[The Alexandrian]

[Dorms - Becky's Quarters]

The curtain falls, then! Clarissa probably attempts to use potent mind-magic and puts off liter after liter of assorted pheromones to enhance the experience.

Several hours likely pass before the curtain rises again. Becky's room likely lies in a state of great disarray. Chaos might have struck here. There is a distinct possibility that many pieces of Becky's furniture have been busted. There is a good chance that a significant number of Becky's wide array of items have seen use. And then there's the barely conscious Clarissa sprawled across whatever remains of the bed, winded and smiling. Smiling like she has gone quite mad. She says not a word for now. She merely stares and smiles.

[The Bushranger]

[Dorms - Becky's Quarters]

Whatever Clarissa dshes out, Becky takes - and says thank you, and asks for more.
SO by the time things are done, she's likely sprawled on her bed.
Smiling like a loon.
And very unconsious.

[The Alexandrian]

[Dorms - Becky's Quarters]

Clarissa wearily eyes the ceiling. Goodness gracious she's hungry! Too bad AMEN doesn't offer take out! She could go for a henchman or two. Oh well! Clarissa is happy. Becky is happy. An ally was gained. For the first time today...or maybe yesterday...something good has happened to Clarissa! Yay!

Thus contented, Clarissa drifts off into a deep slumber beside Becky, snuggling up to her affectionately.

I think it is safe to say that Clarissa is going to be doting over Becky from now on. Clarissa's fondness for Becky even far outweighs her allegiance to Gordon!

Becky might just want to have some fun with that in the near future.

[The Bushranger]

[Dorms - Becky's Quarters]

Oh, Becky just might indeed.
But at the moment it's awhile before she comes around.
And grins as she sits up and stretches.

[The Alexandrian]

[Dorms - Becky's Quarters]

Major movement! That rouses the snoozing Clarissa right quick! She doesn't open her eyes or move a muscle, though. That'd be too much work for the groggy girl!

She does speak very softly in a voice that is a testament to how much she doesn't want to wake up, though.

"Good morning, kitten."

"Glad to see you're still kicking. You had me worried for a second there. I thought I might have killed you, and I definitely don't want to kill you. There aren't enough people as marvelous as you are in this world."

Loose the compliments, Clarissa! Don't let her leave without devoting herself to you!

[The Bushranger]

[Dorms - Becky's Quarters]

The form of address brings a shiver to the remarkably pale-skinned shadowcaster.
And she turns her head, grinning at Clarissa.
"Dead? Nah. Very sore...and happily so...though. And there aren't nearly enough people as marvelous as you are," she whispers.

[The Alexandrian]

[Dorms - Becky's Quarters]

"Oh, you're just saying that! I'm not marvelous. I was just born with a few useful proclivities. I've kept them from my last job."

Hmm... Clarissa wonders whether or not Becky would be willing to fetch a henchman for Clarissa to nom. Well, it is worth a shot, at the very least. What could go wrong?

"Say, if you're leaving, would you mind luring a henchman in here. I'm kinda hungry and I don't want to get up yet."

[Zefir]

[Main Room]

Zefir is coming back from his drink and as he enters he searches for the firsst person in here.

"And has Prometheus failed his 'job' as allways?"

I still think this danny, dante or whatever name it was that starts with d is following him.

[Slii Arhem]

Main Room

Rocid is here, although Zefir probably didn't want to talk to him considering they aren't the best of friends.

"No word yet, but the giant golem things seem to have worked out alright. They sure are a big distraction."

And he goes back to watching the fight through his link with Jakob.

[The Bushranger]

[Dorms - Becky's Quarters]

"Well, then, your proclivities are marvelous." Becky grins. "And I wasn't planning on leaving yet, but if you want to have a henchie sandwich, I can go fetch."

Just as long as it isn't Pink, of course.

[Lord Magtok]

Main Room

Oh look, it's Maggy! What the heck is he doing in a purple Lonely Hearts Club Band-esque costume, though?

"Alright Pink, start filming. And remember: This is the only time you'll ever get me to do this, ever. So make it count. Also, I hate the hell out of you for this. Hate you. Now then,"

Magtok clears his throat, and stands in front of the shattered TV, a trio of Magbot with instruments accompanying him as he does so. Oh gods, this is so complete ridiculous. Is that a kazoo? And some sort of bendy, corkscrew-loopy flute? He hasn't even begun to sing yet, and I can tell it's going to be absurd.

"I'll be quite frank, I'm over my head
with all these girls right now,
Never meant for you to feel like less than divine
You're as sweet as six Cybans, maybe all nine!

It just started out with dates just numbering three
I'm really not a whore,
Honey don't cleave me, sweetie don't leave me,
Though you're sixty-fourth!

Oooooooh...
Please don't say we're through,
But if you say the word,
I'll find someone new.

I'll fire the alien, Arel, and Jules
If you want them gone.
You can be the Lady at this dark clone Lord's side
The freeze to my tag, the seek to my hide!

I'll tend to your whims, you'll never feel need
Who could ask for more?
So do you believe me, will you still leave me,
Cause you're sixty-fourth?

Every summer we can stage a raid on the Good League of Good,
if you want to, dear
Should you feel that brave
Look at them on their knees
Cats, elves, and ex-slaves.

Drop me a line or come by in person,
Morse code via kazoo.
Indicate precisely what you're meaning to say
Yours sincerely, Wasting Away.

Give me your answer, fill in a form
Mine for evermore?
Don't ever leave me, please don't aggrieve me
Though you're sixty-fourth!"

[happyturtle]

Main Room

Pink takes her A-Pad and uses it to teleport in every other henchman in the place - all 146 of them. This show was for them after all. Somehow the room is big enough for them all, and tilts to theatre style to allow everyone to see without difficulty. One of the advantages of having a sentient base.

And she films. Oh yes, this is definitely going on NexTube, despite the deal she made with Maggy. Sure, he'll kill her a few times, but it'll be totally worth it.

Hearing the sound of kazoos, Moffs also crowd into the room. A couple of them even seem smitten. Not 4 though. He thinks Magtok is far too ugly.

When the song ends, there's a standing ovation of Moffs and henchies.

[The Alexandrian]

[Dorms - Becky's Quarters]

"I would appreciate that very much."

Clarissa replies, smiling. Becky sure is a nice person. If only all people were this nice...

No! That wouldn't be a good thing! If all people were this nice to Clarissa, then Clarissa would never be able to consume anyone ever! That'd be horrible! She'd have to move out to the countryside where there are plenty of animals to hunt, and then she'd never-ever-ever see any nice people ever again!

"I'd be more than happy to compensate you for your efforts."

[Slii Arhem]

Main Room

Rocid doesn't even turn to Magtok when he bursts out into song. Don't get him wrong, he approves and all that, it's just that he doesn't really care for the arts.

But if the man wants to sing, let him sing. Personally Rocid would have chosen something more horrendous sounding, but to each his own.

At the end, he'll illusion up a set of arms to slow clap with, but that's all Maggy gets from the floating brain.

[The Bushranger]

[Dorms - Becky's Quarters]

"I would appreciate that very much."

Clarissa replies, smiling. Becky sure is a nice person. If only all people were this nice...

No! That wouldn't be a good thing! If all people were this nice to Clarissa, then Clarissa would never be able to consume anyone ever! That'd be horrible! She'd have to move out to the countryside where there are plenty of animals to hunt, and then she'd never-ever-ever see any nice people ever again!

"I'd be more than happy to compensate you for your efforts."

"Oooh, I think I like the idea of you compensating me."
Becky winks, and slips out of bed, grabbing a robe - black, natch - slipping it on, and then slipping out into the hall.

Be veddy veddy qwiet...she's hunting henchies!

[Gullara]

[Main Room]

Kirk laughs. Quietly, but it's still laughter. Soon it's followed by clapping, joining in with the rest. "Maggy, I never knew you were putting on shows for us now. Do you take requests?"

[Lord Magtok]

Main Room

The band disappears away with the sound of a slide whistle, and Magtok takes a bow. Despite having fun with this charade, he's still more than a little spiteful for being dragged into it, and once the clapping dies down, he tosses a brick towards Kirk before floating his away over to Pink. It's not easy to find her, though. Stupid Magenta and Plum, making everything so confusing...

"There. It's done."

[happyturtle]

Becky will find a distinct lack of henchmen in the hallways. Seems they're all still in the ...

Main Room

Pink smiles and hands Magtok a flash drive with the only remaining copy of the AMEN meeting on it. "Pleasure doing business with you."

[Lord Magtok]

Main Room

Mag snatches the flash drive away and grits his teeth. "I assure you, darling, the pleasure is all and entirely yours."

[The Bushranger]

And so the berobed Becky (and, before it's asked, it's a fully covering, tightly closed robe) heads for the

[Main Room]

Where she emerges from a shadow portal.
And stares at Magtok.

Staaaaaaaaaares.

...then starts giggling...
