"Music is nice. And I guess I have enough money to be able to do that."
She indicates the briefcase.

"Well, since you have some freedom, it's all about what you want to do, isn't it?" Reis smiles gently, not trying to convince her to take any action but what she wants to do. "Do you want to listen to a song?"
Yep, Reis is at it again. Songs."Trust bladescape, Shadow of Doubt,"

"Alright." Reis comments, rustling around in his pouch of notes for a moment before scanning one over.
After a few seconds he leaves it sitting on top of the pouch, strumming a few notes before beginning to sing.
"Shadowed sun, glowing moon, silver figures gone so soon
Just a little longer here, just to find the hidden seer
The path is colder now....
The trees like white courtiers bow...
Once again the road does bend,
Once again it does not mend....
The snow blows around my feet, Like a crowd here to greet.
The wind cuts through my bones, almost like a sack of stones.
The crunch of the road as onwards I tread....
Searching for food and one warm bed.....
Once again the road does bend,
Once again it does not mend.....
The light shines and welcomes me, it beckons through quite eagerly..
I pick up pace and hurry forth, grateful for the promise of warmth.
The inn appears out of the gloom....
I merely want an empty room.....
Once again the road does bend,
This time however it does me-nnd.......~"
(Note:I put the whole song into one post, as last time it stopped the RPing up a bit as I posted it bit by bit.)"Trust bladescape, Shadow of Doubt,"

Talnissa sits quietly as Reis plays.
When he finishes, she says "That was beautiful. Thank you."
She starts to open the briefcase, probably intending to pay him for his trouble.

Well if his presence is required, Waldorf will be behind them again. Pay no mind to the fact that he was just stacking boxes back at the shop, do not question the plot powered wristwatch.

"Really? How though? Like, lessons?" If only the card had more info, or if she could read that info if it was there. Oh well, it does the job of drawing people in rather well. She looks at Waldorf curiously when she realizes he hasn't gotten too far.

"You don't look like you should be working, man." Adir says, stepping over to try and help him straighten up. He doesn't seem all that surprised about this literacy machine. They are still in the Nexus. Of course, he wasn't expecting something that convenient. "But, uh, where can we find it?"Last edited by Murkus; 2011-09-17 at 09:54 PM.

Sakura looks at him with concern. That's a really nasty cough, but he seems to be dealing with it. A moment after he leaves she says. "So do you think we should check it out?"
And I really have to get that post for my other character there made. >.>

Re: [Nexus] Mallside I: You Do Not Know the Power of the Mallside
Oh wow. That's just odd. Genevieve remembers the vacation in detail. A vacation she never took. It was rather mentally refreshing in any case. She never even knew how stressful her lessons had been. Then add having to adapt to the Nexus on top of that.
Now for Genevieve's memories...
SpoilerIt was the middle of the night. The full moon hung in the sky and a cloying mist coiled around my ankles. Several other initiates my age stood on either side of me. We were just a bunch of scared fourteen year old girls. The only thing we had in common is that we were chosen.
I wasn't paying attention to that though. Instead my eyes were on the three older women before us. It was hard to make out any features in the darkness, but I knew who they were. Witches, practitioners of magic. One day I would be just like these mysterious women.
"Burchard, Genevieve." That was my name. I was first. I was finding it hard to breath, but I stepped forward regardless. Up close the witches were less intimidating. The light of the moon revealed a kindly face to me, wizened with age. She gave me a reassuring smile before presenting me with a wand.
A surge of energy coursed through my body as my fingers contacted the fine length of wood. I could feel the power, the potential hidden in this unassuming object. I took the wand in my hand. I could barely believe that it was mine.
For the rest of the night the other girls went through the same thing as me. They all received wands. They were all welcomed into the Order. The witches spoke a few words, but mostly it was silent.
---
The rest of her first week of lessons and training were what one might expect. The basics: learning minor spells, brewing potions, and most of all learning the importance of knowing one's limits and always practicing magic safely. The push to achieve excellence was ever present, as was the insistence for loyalty to the Order of the Full Moon. Genevieve was an eager student to say the very least.

Nate scans the charts as her week of training fast forwards over the screen. "Wonderful, I do believe you've added... three new potions to our beginners spell series simulation. And I hope everything lived up to your expectations. Over the next few weeks, your new/old trip to the beach will integrate with the rest of your memories, until you'll hardly be able to tell you weren't there yourself. Now I really must get going, but remember, next week is our two for one special, bring a friend and swap secrets at next to no-" As he's talking he starts to walk around the back of the now inert black and chrome cube, and just as he gets out of sight, his voice cuts out. When the machine begins to rise from the floor, there is no sign of him.Julie, everyone's nth favorite succubus, by Gulaghar.

"Thanks!" Genevieve calls after him. She stands and looks around, a somewhat glazed over look in her eyes. That was something else. She leaves the shop and starts heading back toward the fountain. Of course, she could encounter anyone in her walking. She has more time to burn after all.

"Yeah, let's go and see." And presumably they'll head that way. There's probably a fair bit of wandering. A mall is a confusing place for two fey. Sakura looks around at all the stores curiously. There's a lot, and all the people!

The door girl stands at 5'8", and her hair is a mane of bouncy, sandy blonde curls.
"Hi there! Waldorf said you might be coming, well not in so many words, but he's rather... anyway.I'm Celena, and I'll be your consultant today. You're here for our couples package?" The woman stands at 5'8", and her hair is a mane of bouncy, sandy blonde curls.
((To save time, I'm handwaving the explanation of how the machine works here))

Sakura looks like my avi, except less like a pirate and more pregnant.
Sakura listens with interest when the couple's package is explained. She glances at Adir, a little smile on her face. "We're actually here about teaching me how to read, but we might try the couples package too. If you want to." The last bit is directed at Adir. She already has an idea of what she'd show him.

"That's often times how it works with the Nexus," Amil replies with a slight laugh. "I guess that's how it is with everything, though. As much as things change there are always some constants you can hang onto. Even if the constants are the zaniness of the Nexus itself."
And the Nexus certainly has zaniness in spades.
"Grumpy?" she replies in respect to Watch. "I don't know about grumpy... Though I think several of their people helped with the last apocalypse the Nexus faced..."
She rubs the back of her neck thoughtfully. "I suppose that would be worth mentioning. That whole Stars Are Right thing happened. And I was stuck avoiding Shoggoths at the office..."
Nearly got nommed.
"Zee, that weird bar-tender from Trog's? She turned into this mountain sized monster and she was giving out quests to the PCs to try to stop her relatives from waking up. I guess everyone succeeded in the end since we're still here. Then Zee toppled over. Away from the City, thankfully. She's been asleep or dead or something since then."Warning!

"The Stars Were Right? Huh, that's odd. Maybe that's why my horoscopes kept turning out screw." It was either that or the deadtime.
"And Zee is... asleep?" If Cierra knew her, it was as the most passing and fleeting of acquaintances. But it was still odd that someone so well known was just gone like that. "Does anyone know why that happened?"

Celena quirks her head, then she understands what Sakura is saying, "Oh no, we don't just transfer memories, I mean we could, but where would the fun in that be? From what I understood of Waldorf stupid recalcitrant old man was that one of you was going to teach the other to read. In that case we could just transfer person A's ability into person B. But if you wanted to show a couple of memories in the process, then we can do that in the same session, just remember that they get logged in our memory banks for future customers."

Gene might encounter Amil on her walk back.
Who knows!
And yeah, dead time could probably louse up horoscopes pretty well.
"Or dead," Amil adds. "I didn't know her that well, honestly. She did a lot of work with the under-privileged and I've managed to stay pretty well off during my stay in the Nexus. So... the only time I've ever run into her was at Trog's."
And going to Trog's is dangerous!
"No one's really sure exactly what happened to her. I'm guessing it had something to do with the apocalypse ending," she squints one eye slightly. "Though... I guess if she knew it was going to happen she probably would have laid down first or something... I'm pretty sure some people got crushed when she fell over."Warning! Random Encounter™ detected!
