"The next one on the list." Reinholdt holds up the list to remind the Encyclopede. Fortunately the list is only two long, so this next stop will probably be the last.

"Of course. Follow me." The Encyclopede will head for a room. The doors close behind them, and with a swift lurch the room heads downwards. After a short journey, the doors open again and the Encyclopede leads Reinholdt into a room apparently lacking a ceiling; in fact, it's taller than the elevator shaft, and there's only one door in the lift.Terrowin Avatar by HappyTurtle.

"Is there any particular reason why you need an empty room with no ceiling, or is this where they store the information on air?" Reinholdt asks, looking up and getting dizzy.

My fault; I left out the bookcases headed upwards in the room when I described it. I take full responsibility for that mistake, and apologise sincerely.Terrowin Avatar by HappyTurtle. Much thanks!

Re: [Nexus] Outside XXVII

Aww... If it stored information on the air particles though...
Reinholdt still gets dizzy.
"Man, you'd better never get earthquakes in here." That'd be bad.

Re: [Nexus] Outside XXVII
Bronze Pyramid
Yes, but how would you get the information back or, for that matter, protect it from the wind?
"An earthquake requires plate tectonics to occur; this demiplane lacks plates to move against each other in a manner to cause such an event. There's also the fact that our library moves to the whims of the Wikipede and anywhere it wishes to protect from an earthquake would be unscathed, though why the Wikipede would wish to duplicate an earthquake is not readily apparent." So the doors do move when Reinholdt's not looking. Although they could also move when he is looking- the doors don't really mind.Terrowin Avatar by HappyTurtle. Much thanks!

"Uhhh... you know I was kidding, right? I don't actually expect earthquakes to happen here." The doors to shift like the staircases in Hogwarts maybe, but no earthquakes.

Re: [Nexus] Outside XXVII
[Hermitage of Dalachrech- Elezibethele]
Ouch! Hair-yanking! That's no fun (judging by all that frantic and pained screaming)! Well, it didn't hurt the slave to try to end himself, did it? Oh wait...
The slave in question isn't about to be trumped that easily! He doesn't want to die in the manner Elezibethele has prescribed for him! The slave will attempt to swallow his own tongue to bypass Elezibethele's countering technique.
Yes. This whole event is truly scaring the other slaves stiff! This is a brutal and horrific condemnation on so many levels.
-----
[Hermitage of Dalachrech- Azurelle]
The slave in question does comply. She is in great pain and only wishes for it to stop! She is healed shortly thereafter. Though she does find the experience most distressing and unpleasant, she is thankful for the healing all the same.
It's far better than losing her tongue. The slave realizes that this mending of her flesh probably isn't a selfless or generous action, given what she (and her sisters) were purchased for...

Re: [Nexus] Outside XXVII
Hermitage of Dalachrech- Elezibethele
"So, you'd rather die your own way, hmm? Well luckily for you I've decided that the best punishment for attempting to steal the life I bought is to let you live." As soon as it's obvious that he's choking, Elezibethele will march over to him, try to force his mouth open and rip his tongue out whilst she murmurs a healing spell to try and keep him alive slightly longer.
Hermitage of Dalachrech- Azurelle
"Now, you're mine, and you'll always be mine. And I'm going to label you. Elezibethele's unimaginative; she's almost certainly numbered the temple slaves. Which is unfortunate, as if I number you I'll never know who's going to respond. So I'll letter you instead. Choose clothing from that chest, then we'll leave." Azurelle gets jealous easily, and she doesn't want to display her slaves to the guards. The clothing, therefore, are long dresses that reveal a bit of cleavage and have a long open slit on one side, revealing most of a leg. There's no shoes, however.
Bronze Pyramid
"Oh. Another joke. I see." They still don't get jokes, I'm afraid. Reinholdt should stop making jokes around these guys; they have no sense of humour.Last edited by Earl of Purple; 2011-11-03 at 06:21 PM.

Ermine didn't either. No one finds Reinholdt humorous.
"Yeah..." The cat decides to maybe just stop talking.

Re: [Nexus] Outside XXVII
Bronze Pyramid
The Encyclopede will wait where it is whilst Reinholdt selects the information he needs. Fortunately the bookshelves have a 'down' gravity, enabling somebody to walk on them without falling off.
That might disorientate Reinholdt a bit when he discovers it.Terrowin Avatar by HappyTurtle. Much thanks!

Oh, there here. Reinholdt thought they were just passing through. Well once he figures it out, he starts selecting information and flying around in pink cat form to get at others. This will take a fair bit longer than the other one though.

Harnel will find that the mage have been sent back to Watch with everyone else so that would probably be the best place to look.
"I am!" Libra insists. "There are other humans who can do the stuff I do! Maybe I'm a human from somewhere where all humans can do this huh?"
She then turns to Edijar and waves him away, "You could always leave... except when I imprisoned you with large steel arenas. I guess you couldn't leave then."

"So do you still have to work? Or was this your work?" Charity asks Edijar. She doesn't find Libra interesting enough to keep talking to. Charity really dislikes god-like beings. Though at least she doesn't expect worship, which is a major plus factor in Libra's favor.My avatar! Isn't it just utterly diabolical? Ashen Lilies made it!

Edijar starts ignoring Libra as well and tries to give Charity a gentle hug. "This was work for today." He tells her. "Lets go home, okay?"

"Fly me," Charity says, kissing her fingers and pressing the fingers to his visor. There are some major disadvantages to having your boyfriend in massive powerarmor, so may as well enjoy one of the few bonuses, right?My avatar! Isn't it just utterly diabolical? Ashen Lilies made it!

Re: [Nexus] Outside XXVII
Charity and Edijar
Edijar slides his helmet's visor back so he can lean forward and kiss his love. As he kisses her, his cape wraps around her. He keeps a gentle grip on Charity and she'll feel them begin to lift up slowly as he takes them into the air.

Re: [Nexus] Outside XXVII
[Hermitage of Dalachrech- Elezibethele]
SpoilerEww, and oh gods the pain!
Both of Elezibethele's actions are successful! Prolonging the slave's misery should be the perfect deterrent against the slaves attempting to end themselves in the future.
[Hermitage of Dalachrech- Azurelle]
SpoilerThe slaves don the clothing Azurelle has provided. Maybe...maybe their lives won't be too terrible. Maybe they'll just have to become accustomed to Azurelle's ways. Making the transition will be tortuous, but it'll all turn out all right in the end...right? Maybe... Azurelle appeared as though she savored the taste of blood in her mouth though...
It's also pretty silly that Azurelle decided to call Elezibethele unimaginative for numbering her slaves before choosing to letter her own.Last edited by The Alexandrian; 2011-11-04 at 07:13 PM.

Re: [Nexus] Outside XXVII
Hermitage of Dalachrech- Elezibethele
Well, if the tongue was ripped out of the slave's mouth, rather than merely his throat (Elezibethele doesn't care which result she achieves), the healing spell will stop the bleeding and cause the wound to scar over quickly, but won't regenerate the tongue. "You are aware that your lives mean nothing to me, yes? Good. Now, I think that's the tour over. You may go and explore, though the guards have orders not to let you out or onto the roof without either myself or Azurelle being present. When the bell rings, head to the kitchen- it will then be lunchtime. You are now dismissed. Except for you, Mine, you stay here. Oh, and if any of you manage to kill yourselves, I'll chop off a finger from the survivors. And that includes Mine." Elezibethele makes a shooing motion with her hands.
Hermitage of Dalachrech- Azurelle
Azurelle will watch the slaves get dressed and when they're ready she'll leave her room, locking the door behind the slaves. She'll then walk towards the Punishment Room, although she'll try and hold one of the slave's hands on the journey.Terrowin Avatar by HappyTurtle. Much thanks!

Re: [Nexus] Outside XXVII
Hermitage of Dalachrech - Nearby
"Now, are you quite sure this is the way, Brother Alto?" asked a balding man in clergy vestments, colored in soft blues with a bright, eight pointed star pendent hanging from his neck.
"Certain as I can be, Brother Veta. I know these woods like the back of my hand." said a middle aged man in similar garb.
"How do you mean, Brother Alto? You've never been here before!"
"Well, I've got the map memorized and I'm sure this is the right way, Brother Veta"
"But, Brother Alto, we left the road an hour ago! There aren't any landmarks anywhere and-"
"Ah-ah-ah-ah! Brother Veta, trust in her ladyship. Things will work out fine."
"If you insist, Brother Alto"
Now, as could be gathered from this conversation, these two were obviously and undeniably lost. Of course, given that neither of them were willing to admit it, this would probably continue on for some time until - "Ah! See there, Brother Veta? We have arrived!" Alto said, gesturing to what could possibly be misconstrued as a mansion built by someone with very strange tastes.
Brother Alto decided that the best thing to do would be to knock very solidly on the doors. Obviously they couldn't preach the good word of the Lady if they had noone to preach to.

Re: [Nexus] Outside XXVII
Buffetted again, the blow might well have been two handed, as without the energy disruption the blow knocks him just as much. He attempts to hold onto the blade as he begins to become a blockage to ascending onto the walls, but if Jakob pulls on the blade, the elven warrior will be unlikely to have the balance and traction to keep it in his hands.
Upon seeing her, the swordsman doesn't expect as much speed and voracity as Molodai contains. Underestimating his foe, he has already begun to watch out for real dangers. By the time he realises what the spindley injured fae can do, it's probably already got a good hold on him.
The two skirmish parties clash around Quinn and Jacques. Both staying out of the main battle. Will finds himself facing a nameless soldier as the rest of the skirmish party begins to fall back in the face of Lord FeyClaw's assault. Harina is kept safely behind the FeyClaw lines until she recovers her balance."Trust bladescape, Shadow of Doubt,"

Re: [Nexus] Outside XXVII
Skirmish
Rather than keep his grip on the Sword, Jakob shoves his fist forward in a short punch at the shield-bearer, attempting to force him off the wall and into the crowd of his fellows behind him while he's still unbalanced from the last blow. With the club in his other hand he manages a clumsy horizontal swipe that might manage to connect if the soldier keeps his footing.
If either one of these connects then Jakob will let go of the blade as its holder falls back, so he doesn't do any more damage to his hand.
To any soldiers, servants, or noblemen manning the wall beside him, Jakob hollers out, "Bring me pitch, oil, and a torch! Jakob has terrible idea."Julie, everyone's nth favorite succubus, by Gulaghar.
