    It just stops teleporting and such for getting into the base. Teleporting within the base is not a problem I believe. Sirtch was probably already at Watch somewhere.

    Since I need a less silly violent way to introduce my sorcerer-'king' character, who would like to have a PC meet their long lost great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandad?

    DC has popped around within Watchtower multiple times. It's not unprecedented.

    And Sirtch is a member of Watchtower. A fight, with yelling and goading, is probably loud enough to attract anyone near's attention.

    Well I could just retcon it and have Sirtch walk in from upstairs like a boring normal person would and then do what he did, but I hardly see how or why it'd make any sort of a difference.

    It would still be a fall if she didn't stand on her leg's anymore, letting go of her hands is rather stupid anyhow.

    I could get behind that if I had any reasonable characters to do it with. Cyrus would be the one for sheer ridiculousness, since he's not only about 300, but from Ravnica, which never had a king, sorcerer or otherwise.

    Maybe Sarah if you don't mind tying your guy to the Tevinter Imperium from Dragon Age.

    Of my characters, only the Cat Burglar is a native to the Nexus, although it would probably be pretty amusing to watch him react to finding out he has a superpowerful wizard grandfather. Especially if that grandfather disapproves of thieves.

    I'm attempting to work on this by spreading my workload out evenly across the week. We could either roll through this scene on-screen or handwave it. Whatever works for you. Handwavium is discounted right now, so it is of no great cost to me either way.

    And I'm going to probably going to send Mania back to the Red Zone after the zombie invasion dealeo comes to a close (with less gruesome descriptions of her works, of course).

    By the way, that family relationship concept for character introduction into the Nexus is boss. I might have to try that out myself sometime in the future!

    Speaking of familial-ties-as-character-introduction, are you up for the thing with getting Karyana's sister at the moment?

    The only real requirement is that the character was born in the Nexus. Perhaps the Burglar and Devi could be very distant cousins?

    Oh, Alex, forgot. Handwaving's the report's fine. Perhaps we can say Naitiri called the Militia so that Wolfbane doesn't have to get involved, given how busy Remnant is right now. Easier to handwave, too.

    As I said, Devi has literally no backstory. She can be from the Nexus and easily related to anyone.

    Anyone human, at least. Or part-human.

    Eh, I wouldn't really mind Devi being related to the Cat Burglar. He doesn't really have much in the way of a backstory himself, just a short paragraph on why he became an incompetent master criminal.

    He's a shapeshifter that controls shadows. And Shadows. Also a Prince of Chaos and Avatar of the Logrus.

    Mostly, he's their way there.

    Excellent. I shall have the lich-king witch-king sorcerer-king sorcerer lord visit Devi first. Mostly because I was gonna have him head to Trogs anyway.

    Actually, I'm prooobably going to be deadtiming now, so you can visit the Burglar first. Unless you're okay with a wait.

    I don't actually have any...

    Well, that's not strictly true: Duty and Curiosity are native to Nexus, but they're technically magical clones of Jakob fused with an aspect of Chaos distilled into Red Mana. Which makes them probably incorrect for a relation to your character.

    I'm afraid I have to deadtime, at least for a bit. I'll try to get on later tonight, but I can't guarantee that I won't fall asleep before that, in which case, I'll be off until tomorrow.
