Hair is stroked! It's actually getting longer. She doesn't wear it in spikes anymore.

Clearly he needs to max out her Influence meter a little more. Or maybe there's a sidequest he hasn't done yet.Originally Posted by Lord Magtok

Re: [Nexus] Random Places and Plots 4

Now, I realize Wenomir's not the most expressive person around, but comparing him to a Dragon Age protagonist is a bit harsh.
Either way, he continues stroking KR's hair, trying to ease her into feeling a bit more comfortable.
I know what you mean. I used to feel the same way. You changed that, I guess. I just thought... we've been together for a year now, but we've been a bit... stiff and awkward around each other all this time. I hoped that here, we'd manage to relax and let loose a little.Last edited by Morty; 2012-01-28 at 08:31 AM.

Well, that's disappointing. There doesn't appear to be anything special about the knife at all! Still, there doesn't appear to be anything wrong with it either, so Nimrod tucks the newly acquired dagger in his belt, deciding against stowing it in the thinking hat for reasons he probably couldn't explain.

Despair continues to keep a lookout, though he's somewhat happy with his new weapon.
He's not going to stoop over and look into a box. Nevermind that he's physically incapable of stooping...

Wenomir gives KR a gentle squeeze as he whispers back in a reassuring tone. This conversation is really unlike what the two of them usually show the world.

"Easier? Perhaps. But some of the other groups could control, and become, animals, and we have no way to know if they survived. Besides, we do move the corpses out, once they die.
As for your concern that it's cruel... It may be. But no worse than what would be done to us if we weren't cautious."
Harin, meanwhile, frowns, and crouches down next to it, speaking quickly and softly in a language resembling Gaelic.

[Harin's Universe]
Rahona gives her a sceptical glance.
"Wouldn' they know y'all could do that and just... Do sumthing else? For all ya know, they coulda just gotten the power Harin's got."
Looking past their misty friend, she looks at Harin as he speaks to the animal.
"Speaking off, whatcha doing?"
The last line is spoken as she walks toward Harin, trying to recognise the language. It obviously sounds akin to something she know, but outside the Nexus' translation effect, it's a miracle her and Harin are still speaking the same language in the first place.Treasured Quotes

Re: [Nexus] Random Places and Plots 4
"They know that nothing returns from here, unless it passes in such large numbers that we cannot kill them all when they are entering and leaving, but no more. And if we were to let things through, they would learn of that, and know they could come through if they wished."
The bird-girl will likely be unable to tell exactly what language Harin is speaking; while it shares certain structures with Gaelic, it's specific to the Ceochain, generally, though it's possible she ran into another one of them on one of her (presumably many) adventures, and they taught her at least enough to know what it is.
In any case, right around the time she speaks, a cloud of mist flows out of the Deerrat's mouth, and its breathing eases considerably.
"Acquiring a test subject. After all, it's an animal and we need one, so I don't see any reason it can't be used..."

Re: [Nexus] Random Places and Plots 4
[Cottage]
Now, now. Let's not compare anyone here to Hayden Christensen and Lucas' writing. I like to think none of us ever gets this bad.
Wenomir smiles. KR is one of the few people who can get him to do it. And it's a geniune smile, too, not the humourless kind he shows when he's about to hurt someone.
Mhmm. It does seem easier to... not feel things. Bottle them up. But then you find out it's not worth it after all. Like we did. The two apocalypse stoppers who suddenly found out there's more to life than hurting people.Last edited by Morty; 2012-02-05 at 05:59 PM.

Re: [Nexus] Random Places and Plots 4
Swamp of Not-Quite-Sanity
Jasmine does not find a cuirass. She does, however, find a silver breastplate and a matching backplate. Both have been crafted to be comfortable for the female figure without having rounded protuberances that prevent blades from being deflected properly.
Despair might see the trap Nimrod triggered with his wild destruction- it's a spiked ball on the end of a chain, aimed at the jagermonster's back.
Nimrod finds a trap, as mentioned above, and also a simple bronze ring set with a piece of cheap glass.Terrowin Avatar by HappyTurtle. Much thanks!

Re: [Nexus] Random Places and Plots 4

Oh. That's bad.
Despair breaks into a sprint, grabbing the round Targe off of his back and attempting to leap into the way of the trap. It will probably hurt, but Despair can survive something like that, especially with a shield protecting him.

Re: [Nexus] Random Places and Plots 4

Jasmine is in no way paying attention to her surroundings right now. She even disregards Nimrod's rampaging when she realizes it's just his. Thus, the trap triggering and Despair's resulting action aren't seen as she peers at the breastplate. Hrm, she's going to need help with this, and hopefully it won't be too heavy for her to wear effectively.
She'll be turning around to ask for help just in time to see the result of the trap being triggered.

Nimrod hears the rush of air as the spiked pendulum falls, turning just in time to see it hurtling towards him and starting to dive for the floor. He's not quite fast enough though, so if Despair doesn't manage to stop the mace all he'll achieve is getting slammed in the gut.Meese Mobster by smuchmuch.

Re: [Nexus] Random Places and Plots 4
Rahona begins activating and calibrating her Timegun while responding.
"Ya sure they won't find a way past? Stalemates never lasted long'n All."
Aiming at the Deerrat, she continues after softly whispering to the poor confused thing. It might be a test subject, but the Bird Girl sees no reason to frighten it more than time travel will.
"'Course, time was not always the problem for us. Ready?"
The last part is aimed at Harin, an adventurous tone in her voice.Treasured Quotes

Re: [Nexus] Random Places and Plots 4
Swamp of Not-Quite-Sanity
Despair is hit by the spiked flail. It's got a fair bit of force behind it, and isn't magical. It may knock Despair backwards slightly, but since he can't fall over it shouldn't be too bad.
Jasmine will find that the breastplate and backplate don't weigh very much, despite feeling very hard and strong. Clearly, it's magically light enough to be worn easily.
Nimrod probably isn't hit by the flail, but he might be hit by Despair.Terrowin Avatar by HappyTurtle. Much thanks!

Re: [Nexus] Random Places and Plots 4

KR laughs out loud at that, finally giving her player something to type that isn't just pure dialogue or OoC crapping all over anything and everything she does. He tone quickly becomes more sober though.
"Yes. I don't want to have to bottle everything up any more. But it's still difficult for me. I don't know if I can do it."

"I know you are." Says KR, before diving in for the kiss! Gentle at first, but deepening rather considerably, as KR starts to shift into a more 'comfortable' position, by which I mean she goes from leaning at his side to straddling one leg.Originally Posted by Lord Magtok

Wenomir doesn't mind that one bit, that's for sure. He keeps kissing KR and wraps his arms firmly around her - one around her shoulders and the other around her midriff.Last edited by Morty; 2012-02-11 at 12:34 PM.

Re: [Nexus] Random Places and Plots 4

So. Kissing. Howabout that, huh? That's pretty neat. And ongoing.
Oh, and since Wenomir was kind enough to preemptively remove his shirt, there's some roaming of the hands and stuff too. Gee, that's a lot of scars. So... very... many... scars... O_O
And then KR awkwardly tried to remove her own shirt. -_-Originally Posted by Lord Magtok

Re: [Nexus] Random Places and Plots 4
[College]
Yes, well, a sofa is not one of the most spacious pieces of furniture around, at least, not where having two bodies on it at once is concerned. And they're all smushed up together on it see, so removing a shirt suddenly goes from a simple task to one involving tangling limbs and elbows jabbing into unfortunate places and other such things.
There's also the fact that being willing does not automatically equal being skilled and KR has only the barest idea of what curtaining entails and pretty soon all this combined awkwardness will hit Critical Awkwardness Mass and collapse under its own gravity and form a singularity of Awkwardness which will draw even more Awkwardness towards it until it grows and consumes the entire Nexus under a wave of pure awkwardness!/maycontaintraceamountsofsensationalismOriginally Posted by Lord Magtok

Re: [Nexus] Random Places and Plots 4
...And now, we interrupt your gratuitous Wenomir/KR fanservice for a special broadcast!
[Swamp of Not-Quite-Sanity]
Ouch.
Thankfully, as mentioned, Despair doesn't fall over, but his shield happens to be mundane and made of wood. Under the sheer concentrated force of the trap, of course, Despair's targe snaps in half despite its thickness, with a resounding *CRACK!*
Because Despair leaped to intercept the trap, his feet were disconnected from the ground, preventing him from taking a strong position to resist being thrown backward. On the bright side, his lateral motion prevents him from being knocked back directly into Nimrod: He ends up flying in a new direction, combining the vectors of his leap and the force of the swinging trap, likely taking the spiked ball on a chain with him.
In any case, while someone in his position should by all rights be sprawled on the floor about now, he's still standing. He's looking very miffed about his broken family shield, but he seems to be mostly okay.
...Well, that spiked-ball-shaped dent in his cuirass looks kinda bad, I guess.

Re: [Nexus] Random Places and Plots 4
[Cottage]
The sofa is pretty large and comfortable - the cottage's purpose is romantic getaways, so the people who rent it have a very good idea about what it's likely to be used for.
Lack of practical experience nonwithstanding, Wenomir knows more about what curtaining entails, having grown up in a village, where prudishness doesn't last long. So he'll try to ease KR's awkwardness again on the way to drawing the curtain. The thought to suggest retiring to the bedroom doesn't really occur to him. He's got other things on his mind. *cough*Last edited by Morty; 2012-02-13 at 04:06 PM.
