Re: [Nexus] Mallside III
MagMart - BackRoom
Missy is about to ask if he thinks the rats and the drow business are related, when he distracts her with the other question. She seems to take it seriously, shaking her head. "No, I'm not really patient or even-tempered enough to be a Jedi, and I never had a strong connection to the Force." She chews on her lower lip a bit. "And I kill. I don't like to do it, but I do."My avatar! Isn't it just utterly diabolical? Ashen Lilies made it!

Re: [Nexus] Mallside III
MagMart - BackRoom
Magtok nods, still peering at the door, but focusing his attention elsewhere, blankly staring off into space in front of it.
"Alright. So the Yoda thing, that's...what's that, then? You didn't get sucked into the Nexus from Tatooine or something, did you?"
It's entirely possible. In fact, Magtok's surprised he doesn't see more Star Warsy stuff in the Nexus. I dunno, maybe it's just too mainstream for the mystical forces commanding the ebb and flow of the Nexus, or maybe the power level's just too iffy. Force levitation tricks alone could do an awful lot of damage in the hands of someone clever, and that Jedi Mind Trick thing would be absolutely vicious if Maggy ever figured out how to get it to work.

"Oh, I'm a lapsed Orthodox Arnaudin," Missy says, trying to make it sound like it's something completely inconsequential, rather than it being the core of conflict with herself. "Yoda is one of our prophets. He taught about the importance of non-violence and not giving into your emotions."My avatar! Isn't it just utterly diabolical? Ashen Lilies made it!

Re: [Nexus] Mallside III
[Food Court]
Integrity is a bit unsure of what sort of topic to carry forward at this point. on top of that, she's already eaten her lunch, and it would feel rude to stand up and get more when Grace probably wants to speak more. So for now, she just sits quietly.If You need me to post somewhere, drop me a message, please

Grace, meanwhile, was hoping to get Integrity talking a bit more, so once she's swallowed her latest bite, she picks up a topic to try and move towards that end. "So, did you just come to Nexus? Are you very familiar with it yet?"

"A crossroads, is the type of place they call crossroads. Through really Nexus is more 'joining' or 'center', and that certainly applies here too. It's an interuniversal hub. For example, I've never heard of hive worlds until now, before or after my death, and I'd bet you're unfamiliar with elements of where I'm from, too. Ever heard of Cryx? How about Menoth? Steamjacks?"

Re: [Nexus] Mallside III

"Ah."
Explains a lot, I guess. Magtok will have to look at Wikipedia or whatever the Nexus equivalent is, to get a better idea of where she's coming from with this sort of stuff. For now, he tries to avoid imagining a goofy Last Supper painting with Yoda thrown in it, sitting in a children's booster seat. Additionally, since Missy hasn't offered to leave yet, Magtok leans against a large stack of boxes, figuring that her plan is to stay here for a little while longer.
"And Arnaud himself? Religious reformer sort of guy?"

"Arnold Cunningham was the prophet of the Great Synthesis, who brought all of our teachings together into one book," Missy says, growing a little uncomfortable, because talking about religion is AWKWARD. "Fungus rats? That sounds horrible?" Oh come on, that wasn't even a little bit subtle.
Missy doesn't really have a plan. She's waiting for Magtok to tell her what's going on in the casino before she decides whether or not he's safe.My avatar! Isn't it just utterly diabolical? Ashen Lilies made it!

So she probably really did need this job. Hm. Grace finishes up her lunch, then stands. "I need to get back to work, but it was very nice to meet you, Integrity. I'll give you a call about an interview some time this week- if I don't, you can contact me by following the instructions on my business card." She retrieves one and hands it over to Integrity.

Integrity smiles, taking the business card, "Thank you for considering me, then. I hope to see you again soon." Unless stopped, Integrity will smile, nod, and begin to walk away, giving a little wave back to Grace. The day was going well, wasn't it?If You need me to post somewhere, drop me a message, please

"Cordyceps. They take control of insects and then do hell with their insides and brains. Someone on the MagCave security staff happens to be a sort of ant-lady, so you can imagine how absolutely terrible that could've been."
He peers at his wrist, in even more of a hurry to get the both of them off that subject.
"The drow seem to be clearing out now. Probably headed to the BDD later, given that it's a drow bar these days and such. Nutcase is one faction, Xar'Cha house the other. Latter group is much, much more drowish, and doesn't seem to like nutcase, but there's no telling how convoluted and elaborate these guys can be."

Re: [Nexus] Mallside III

While Magtok looks at his wrist, Missy tries to sneakily look to see if he's wearing the friendship bracelet she'd given him.
"So, they're wanting you to jump in the middle of Underdark politics? Do they think you're stupid?" She shakes her head. "No, that doesn't make sense. And why did he bring an army to the surface? Wouldn't that just weaken his position in Menzowhatsit? Bluh. This is way over my pay grade. I'm dumping this whole thing in the Commander's lap and letting her sort it out. I'm no diplomat."

Re: [Nexus] Mallside III

Still wearing it, yes. Lately some MagClones in positions of power have taken to celebrating their differences, rather than violently enforcing the similarities. Polyjester's no different.
"Best as I can tell, Vasquez's decision is going to be something along the lines of 'stand back and wait for the drow to finish killing each other'. If this situation had nothing to do with me, I'd probably go with exactly that."
He pushes the door out of the back room open, quietly venturing into the public part of the store. He takes care to do so when the cameras confirm that nobody is in this section of the store or looking in his direction, for Missy's sake. Gods know he's no stranger to perverse rumors and gossip, but Missy has a career to think about, and slipping out of a MagMart backroom with the cyborg supervillain would probably not help her any.

Re: [Nexus] Mallside III
MagMart - No longer the backroom
"So how are you going to handle it? Or shouldn't I know?" Missy asks. She's isn't even thinking of potential scandal fodder as she follows Magtok out of the back room. The Remnant rumour mill is far too imaginative to need anything approaching evidence.
Instead, her mind is busy with, He actually put it on. What does that mean? That he still thinks there's a chance? Or maybe it means he's okay with the 'just friends' stuff? and similar anxious wonderings.My avatar! Isn't it just utterly diabolical? Ashen Lilies made it!

"The worst the Baen're guy can do to me is turn his armies on my MagCave, or commit some awful deed in my name that upsets everyone. Even then, I've got you and the MaGLoG cameras and such as witnesses to my reluctance to have him under me, and the Cave security is more than enough to keep him from getting in."
Magtok shrugs, grabs an anti-pimple cream from one of the aisles, comes to a complete stop to peer at the thing, and then puts it right back where he found it before moving on again towards the front of the store..
"He's a zit, Missy. Poking him is just going to elevate the stakes, and trying to crush him between my fingers will make an ugly, icky mess everywhere. Best just to ignore it and wait for him to go away."

Crissy grins at Syela's enthuiasm, and stands, leaning over to give Dorota's cheek a kiss before setting about clearing the table. "I think somebody's totally eager to see it."Last edited by The Bushranger; 2012-01-17 at 05:33 PM.

Re: [Nexus] Mallside III

Poor Syela.
Dorota will enter a door at the end of the store and motion the fey girl to follow. Beyond the door is a large laboratory, with tables and shelves lining the walls, all of them stacked with various tools, containers and apparatuses. In the middle of the room is a large stove with plates and ovens in various sizes. A sterile lab smell pervades the room.
