Dave nods and tries to jump onto Giant Clarissa's shoulder and give her a kiss on the cheek.
"Got it hun, I guess I'll just wait for you at AMEN then, I can meet this Becky you told me about."
Unless stopped he'll teleport to AMEN right then and there.Busy with Life

"Make sure you shapeshift yourself into a female first! Becky detests males for some reason or other!"
Clarissa calls after him! She would love to trail Dave if only so that she could introduce Dave to Becky and Becky to Dave, but she has a party to crash in heaven.
Clarissa is so going to cast down whatever benevolent god opposed her now. Her triumph over all who antagonized her and strict rule over both good and evil will be delectably delicious!

Looking at it? Cessie thinks, not that she's going to ask. That would seem foolish.
Then Harnel starts to play and she looks at the instrument in amazement. "That's... really good. Don't tell me you have played such an instrument before? You do have a lot of rather odd talents after all." She gives him a mock suspicions glance.

"Sure, if you can call making a single note playing an instrument. I just wanted to show you that; besides, I don't have the magic I'd need to actually do anything past that." He shrugs, handing the now warm staff back to Cessie, "I'm fairly tone deaf, so you won't find me playing any instruments for you."
[Mithar Keep - Kitchen]
Harnel will take the sandwiches he made out to Kate at the table, placing her pair down in front of her. They may not be nearly as large as Kirin's, but they're quite hefty all the same, "Whatever you don't eat I will, so eat everything you want."If You need me to post somewhere, drop me a message, please

"Huh? Oh, thank you."
Kate will eat one sandwich. Near the end she will slow down a bit, but she will finish. As she picks up the second sandwich, she asks a question.
"Hey, what language do you speak? I mean, what do you call it?"
...that's kind of out of the blue there, Kate. What were you thinking about while Harnel was in the kitchen?Last edited by Lost_Deep; 2012-01-01 at 10:05 PM.

"Ascaerin," Harnel says, "Near as I can tell as long as we have some sort of cross world analogue then we can understand what each other is saying. Cessie, my wife, for example speaks Hestopian," his voice doesn't shift much, and it's only noticeable because he was already talking, "And now I'm speaking Hestopian. I've found that a lot of languages are like that here. Go up to dragons and any world they learned draconic from will have the same type of draconic here. The Nexus seems to translate for us."If You need me to post somewhere, drop me a message, please

Kate will nod.
"Huh. Fascinating. My version is called English. I just realized how statistically odd... almost impossible it is for so many nexus dwellers to share a language, much less English. It's so odd... but it's obviously not a real universal tongues effect, since there are languages that are unaffected... but they all have a similar melding effect. What determines which languages meld? The overall usage? If I had been pulled in while French was the international language, would I have to learn french to get anywhere here?"
After a moment, she will start eating her second sandwich. She'll eat only half of it, though. These were bigger sandwiches than she's used to.
"I'm over thinking it. I guess I should just be happy there is an effect at all."
Dare anyone say that she's thinking too hard? Is it really possible to think too hard?
"I wonder if the nexus has an odd tendency toward humans and humanoids. Or if the selection of worlds it draws from is limited to a certain group..."
Definitely over thinking it.

"That's something we can't know," he says, taking another bite from his sandwich, "Most of the time when people come here they're from a variation on some place called 'Earth'. I always found that name odd, as it's like calling something dirt." he continues to eat, looking thoughtful, "Couldn't really tell you much more though."If You need me to post somewhere, drop me a message, please

Kate nods.
She seems to think.
"Yeah... it is, isn't it? Huh. That never occurred to me before."
This is the time for Harnel to eat in silence. If he wants to start a conversation, he can. If not, Kate will zone out and stay quiet until he does something notable. After a few minutes, she'll start tapping a beat on the table again.

Re: [Nexus] Home 10

Kate considers this. She considers this hard.
Just think how cool it would be... but...
"I'll walk, but thank you for the offer."
If nothing more needs to happen, Kate will then leave. She'll probably be back in a couple days for another session, but I think that a number of the less important sessions can be done offscreen.

Harnel will see Kate out, and then go back to working at his forge. He's a bit more tired than he was when they started, but it's not that bad. He still has a lot of work left in him.If You need me to post somewhere, drop me a message, please

Re: [Nexus] Home 10
Silvery Ship-exterior
The ship has changed surprisingly since the slivirs left. The most obvious of them is the sudden addition of red to various things. A perimeter of hovering silver orbs circles it, each with a red stripe around it's middle. An enterance is obvious, but has a red light over the top of it. There is a large spire sticking out the top of the teardrop, with a red line running it's length.
These are only side effects of what is really going on. This ship currently contains an Object: a fragment of elder beings, capable of hijacking the mind.
The object in question is Bloodlust. Its call can be felt by any who have come into contact with the Objects... and the call may be stronger to some than to others.
Through a completely unrelated series of events and a couple of misfired spells, there is currently a nasty storm brewing overhead. The sky threatens to rain, but is holding back as if in expectation. Lightning arcs within the clouds.
What a time for someone to come calling...Last edited by Lost_Deep; 2012-01-02 at 01:31 PM.

Re: [Nexus] Home 10
What a time, indeed.
It is only too easy to justify that stray bolt of lightning flashing in the night sky. It only appears for the briefest of moments, as lightning always does, and doesn't seem any different from ordinary lightning, does it? Why in the world would one ever expect someone to ride such a bolt into the sky, anyway? That's just...it's just preposterous, is what it is.
The expected route would be to just walk right in the front door. What would take such a path, but it was almost certainly trapped, and traps are hardly as exciting as the murder of beings foolishly trying to resist their own deaths. What hits the top of the saucer with a clatter, trying to avoid sliding right off as he looks for some sort of weak point, something fragile he could shatter with that godly hammer in order to force his way right inside.

Re: [Nexus] Home 10
Silvery Ship-exterior
What should have no trouble finding something or other... Like that satellite dish-like object, or that access hatch outlined in red. Or that light, which upon closer inspection is a skylight looking into a well-lit room. Or perhaps he could find a small hole at the base of the spire-like thing and pry it a little bigger... yes, there is one such hole there.

Re: [Nexus] Home 10
Silvery Ship-exterior => Silvery Ship Interior, Presumably
What takes the spire-thingy route. He'll try to brute-force his way with the hammer, not using any of its fancy lighting powers, just trying to stick it in the hole and pull until it's wide enough to fit an entire pumpkin head and suit through.

Re: [Nexus] Home 10
Silvery Ship Interior
Beating the hole wider doesn't seem to be working... no, wait, get the hammer at the right angle and a eight sided panel opens on hinges. Why is there a hinged panel here?
What can the drop down into a circular room, lined with eight doors. Every single door looks exactly the same. What does he do?

"Part of me wants to do nothing but stay here and...have you teach me, all day," Kara admits, with a crimson blush. "Another, though, wants to go out somewhere..."

"Maybe out to Trog's for lunch? Or is it dinnertime yet? I've kinda lost track of time..."

Lunch sounds about right. They'd just had breakfast when they started work, after all, and I doubt it's been more than four or five hours, as it only took three or four for them to convert it, and I rather doubt they've spent more than an hour on testing and the conversation they've had afterward.
"Trog's for lunch sounds good," Talnissa agrees, smiling, and going to release Kara with one arm.

"Is there anything else we need to do before going out?"

"Not that I can think of, no," she says, shaking her head.
And, presumably, they do so.
