[Nexus] The Nest/Karyana's Forest (And Additional Locales) V:

[Mindfreak]

Nest II
It works, and as Jimmy lies in the bed he whispers.
"Need...to talk to...*Cough cough blood* hot 4 armed chick."
And then he finally passes out.
He's not only missing his lower half of hi body, but there's also a deep cut in his stomach that's 3 centimeters away from his heart.

[Beans]

[Nest]
She nods.
Y'know how a fight is worse if you've slept with the person beforehand?
Yeah. That.
---
[Sub]
Zwei nods.
C-c'mere...
She beckons Dani over.
---
[Warehouse]
Er... nothing. Lies!

[Mindfreak]

AR
"...can you help me out of this dress? I can't reach the zipper." >.<

[The Bushranger]

[Subrealm]

Dani quickly steps over to Zwei!

[Lady Serpentine]

[Nest II]

Actually, he's lying on a surgical table. But in any case, the emergency team sets to work, trying to use mundane, though far future, means to stop the bleeding, and seal the wounds.

Harina is not retrieved, as 'hot four-armed chick' could refer to any number of people in the Nest.

[Nest]

"Ah. I can see why that would be an issue, yes... If you want, I could talk to her for you, and at least try to get you a chance to talk with her?"

[Sub-realm]

Karyana doesn't do much, yet, other than keep holding Zwei, as she's not at all sure what the plan is now.

[Warehouse]

"It doesn't sound like nothing..."

[Beans]

[Sub]
Zwei pulls her into her lap, holding her close.
C-come hunting with me and Karyana and our harpy friend?
---
[AR]
She unzips it for her.
---
[Nest]
That'd be great. I kinda miss her...
---
[Warehouse]
She fidgets with all four hands.
Well, er... due to the circumstances during mating season, there's a certain awkwardness to what the offer of... "help", er, brings to mind.

[The Bushranger]

[Subrealm]

Dani nods, hugging Zwei tight. And reaching to pull Karyana into the hug again, too.

[Lady Serpentine]

[Subrealm]

Karyana hugs her back tightly, and tries to warp them all to Rizell.

[Nest]

Karyana nods, pulls a piece of paper from her pocket, and begins bloodwriting a to Carrie, which, when complete, will be placed in the bag connected to Carrie's.

Spoiler

Show

Hey, Carrie. Can we talk for a bit?

--Karyana

[Warehouse]

L'lanyaea blinks.

"Oh. I see. That... Was not precisely what I meant, though that interpretation is also acceptable."

((Deadtime for two or three hours.))

[Beans]

[Forest]
Rizell immediately goes to hug Zwei and Karyana.
Hey... you okay?
---
[Warehouse]
She blushes hard.
Sorry.
---
[Nest]
She gets a reply saying yes fairly soon.

[The Bushranger]

[Forest]

Dani, meanwhile waves to the person she doesn't know. (Or if she does, her player forgot).

[Lady Serpentine]

[Forest]

Karyana shakes her head, returning the harpy's hug.

"Not really... Ashley said she no when it got to her part of the 'I Do's'..."

[Warehouse]

L'lanyaea smiles, and goes to put an arm around her.

"It's fine, Carciza. Like I said, that wasn't what I meant originally, but I certainly don't object to it, either."

[Nest]

"She's on her way."

[Beans]

[Forest]
Rizell waves back to the nice short redhead she doesn't really know but has been told about.
She sighs.
... Oh...
That's...
Anything I can do?
She frowns.
---
[Warehouse]
Carciza tenses, but relaxes.
She smiles gratefully at L'lanyaea.
You really are the nicest summoner I've had.
---
[Nest]
Great!

[The Bushranger]

Forest

Dani, meanwhile, finally starts to get mad about the situation!
"Why would she do such a thing?!"

[Beans]

[Forest]
Zwei cringes.
I don't understand.

[Lady Serpentine]

[Forest]

Karyana goes to wrap Zwei in her wings.

"Neither do I. But it's not your fault. You didn't do anything wrong."

[Warehouse]

The war mage grins happily at her.

"Thanks, Carciza. I'm glad you feel that way. You're the nicest summoned I've had, so..."

[Nest]

"I hope it goes well. I'll do my best to help, but I can't promise anything."

[Beans]

[Forest]
Zwei just holds Dani closer, hands shaking.
---
[Nest]
Carrie arrives, sees Nema, and stares.
... Oh.
Awkward.
---
[Warehouse]
Er, thanks... She shifts a little awkwardly.

[Lady Serpentine]

[Nest]

Karyana is... Not entirely sure what she should do, if anything, and thus waits for Carrie to get over her shock.

[Warehouse]

"Is something wrong?"

[Beans]

[Nest]
Hi Carrie.
... Um...
Carrie swallows.
Oh. Hello, Nema...
---
[Warehouse]
It's just sort of... unusual to receive such an... er, offer.

[Lady Serpentine]

[Nest]

"She said she wanted to try patch things with you, I think... Should I go?"

[Warehouse]

"Fair enough... It's not exactly common for me to make one, either. But I'm sorry about making you uncomfortable."

[Beans]

[Nest]
They both nod; Carrie's nod is a little stiff.
---
[Warehouse]
She smiles.
It's fine.
Thank you for being so kind.
Deadtime soon, I think.

[Mindfreak]

Nest II
The operation should last a while, because stopping the bleeding for a man who last half his torso should be hard.
But once it's done...Jimmy will wake.
"Need...to talk to...Harina..."

---

AR
Megan sighs in relief.
"Thanks..."

[Lady Serpentine]

[Nest]
They both nod; Carrie's nod is a little stiff.
---
[Warehouse]
She smiles.
It's fine.
Thank you for being so kind.
Deadtime soon, I think.

[Nest]

In that case, Karyana heads into the Forest, quickly disappearing from sight, and earshot, even for someone with her senses.

[Warehouse]

L'lanyaea returns her smile, looking quite happy

"You're welcome. I'm glad I can help."

Nest II
The operation should last a while, because stopping the bleeding for a man who last half his torso should be hard.
But once it's done...Jimmy will wake.
"Need...to talk to...Harina..."

---

AR
Megan sighs in relief.
"Thanks..."

[Nest II]

In that case, Harina is sent for, and arrives quite quickly.

"You said you needed to talk to me?"

[Mindfreak]

Nest II
"I may be a little late but...you wanna go out on a date tomorrow?"

[Lady Serpentine]

[Nest II]

"Considering you'll still be regrowing your legs at that point, not really..."

[Mindfreak]

Nest II
"How about when my legs do grow back? Pleeeeeease?" he said with a pout.

[Lady Serpentine]

[Nest II]

She shrugs.

"Maybe. I'll consider it, at least."

[Mindfreak]

Nest II
"Okay..."
"..."
"Can you grab me some blood pack from my room?"

[Beans]

[Waerehouse]
Er, so... what now?

[The Bushranger]

[Forest]

Dani hugs Zwei back tightly. Rubbing her friend's back.
And hiding her tears.

[Beans]

[Forest]
Zwei sniffles, rubbing her eyes.
Or maybe we could just... s-spend time together... yeah, t-that sounds nice...
