Re: [Nexus] Inside 43
Dave's Clinic
The three people are sitting in the waiting room. The two gas masked figures are looking at each other and motioning as though they're talking in low voices to avoid being heard. As there's a door in the way (unless it's open) they can't be heard. The bare-headed guy is just sitting mute, staring at a corner. Oh, and the two-armed gas-masked person has his leg jutting out straight in front of him, the foot pointing upwards rather than relaxed. It looks almost as though that leg is a solid prosthetic for a lost, jointed limb.
When Tsan comes, they follow. The bare-headed guy in front, the one-armed chap behind and the stiff-legged fellow bringing up the rear. They won't want to be separated, and insist to stay together if it comes down to it. They seem rather paranoid, though their garb might suggest that they have just travelled from a post-apocalyptic world.Last edited by Earl of Purple; 2012-04-01 at 06:07 PM.

Dave arrives in the room where there are enough seats to sit down in for all.
"Ah yes, now what is the nature of your visit to the clinic?" he said, sitting in a chair.Busy with Life

Re: [Nexus] Inside 43
Dave's Free Clinic
"We are refugees from the Magewar. We wished to know if you could help us." The bare-headed guy is slowly unbuttoning his greatcoat with clumsy gloved hands, an action repeated by the one-armed person, though with a different type of clumsiness. The stiff-legged chap has stood up and removed the shoe from his stiff right leg without bending it and is trying to remove his sock.
When the bare-headed guy has taken off his greatcoat, he pulls the jumper underneath over his head. Beneath, he is wearing a short-sleeved t-shirt that reveals that neither of his arms have flesh, his face is a very good mask and he's removing his gloves; the hands are equally skeletal as his arms. When the mask comes off, it exposes a face that shouldn't be exposed; it has started to mummify, the skin hardened and cracked with surprisingly alive eyes, the only part of his body as-yet untouched by decay.
When the one-armed chap has taken off their greatcoat, a writhing tentacle unwraps itself from their torso; it grows in place of their missing arm. It ends in three miniature tentacles that serve as fingers and thumb. This figure looks to be the speaker; the chest beneath the vest remaining on the figure's torso looks to be feminine.
The stiff-legged guy has given up on his sock and lowered his trousers. His upper thigh is soft, hairy flesh, but it slowly grows harder, rougher in texture and less hairy till just above the knee; below that it is undeniably solid stone, probably granite.Terrowin Avatar by HappyTurtle.

"If you can, yes. If not, then please direct us somewhere that can. Though these aren't the only modifications to our bodies, just the most obvious ones. Would you like to see the other mutations we know of? They aren't all pretty sights." Tentacle-girl's tentacle is waving around quite a bit. Also, the voice isn't as muffled as it should be from a gas mask.
Corpse-face is trying to avoid looking in any mirrors or reflective surfaces, instead staring at his boney hands.
Stone leg is poking at his thigh, trying to determine if the hardness has spread since the last time he checked.Terrowin Avatar by HappyTurtle. Much thanks!

"Want, yes, NEED, not so much." Wes says with a sly smile. "I'm brand new in Town, I can't go spending all my money in one spot. I've got to think about things like food and lodging." By the way she's still smiling though, she really wants to get food and lodging squared away so she knows how much money she's got left to have fun with.

Westlanna arrives for work at 7:45, a good 15 minutes early for her first day. She wants to use the time to acquaint herself with the layout of the place before she begins work.
She starts by walking around the grounds outside a bit, then heads in to the reception area, probably seeing Tsan when she enters.
"Good morning." she greets the receptionist. "I'm Westlanna, I'll be working here, and your name?"Expect my character 'Wanderer' to simply vanish. Please always err on the side of continuing without me. My schedule makes my posting patchy at times and I don't want to hold up other folks' fun.

"Yes, that would be very good of you. Yes, indeed." All three nod their heads vigorously, though Corpse-Face is slightly cautious; last time he tried, his nose fell off. He re-attached it, though, using a pointed stick tied to the thinnest twine he could find.Terrowin Avatar by HappyTurtle. Much thanks!

The page at the door checks his clipboard. "Ah, yes, he is expecting you. Go ahead in." He gestrues straight back, towards where Sornnolu's office was.
Once Junior walks back, he'll find that the office dooor is shut. A knock, though, will open it. Inside, Sornnolu was sitting at his desk, feeding tidbits to a grey-scaled pseudodragon. "Ah, Junior!" the drow grins, recognizing the drorf. "I'm glad you've come so quickly."~Amor Vincit Omnia~I have a Youtube Channel

"Grub me, Ceberes." he said a he held out his hand.
"Yes your majesty..." the wizard said as he withdrew a case from his robes, handing it over to Dave.
Dave then opens it, withdrawing a jar with a spigot that's full of grubs that seem to be...shimmering with magic!
"I discovered these grubs myself in the Florida Keys. You have heard of the Fountain of Youth, yes? Well, that's what these are. They feed on age, and can turn an 80 year old into a 30 year old in an hour."
"Now, they also secrete a substance that when ingested will revert a person's body back to a point that they choose. You'll have to keep a picture of the year in your head though."
He takes out three cups and fill them a tiny bit from the spigot on the jar, which spills a yellowish, foul smelling liquid.
He'll then pass them over. It'll work as he said, but woe to them if they lose the picture of the year in their head.Busy with Life

Each of the three people take a glass. "You mean a picture of what we looked like in that year, right? Or do you mean some great event that occurred that year?" Tentacle-Girl's tentacle, meanwhile, is lifting her vest to reveal a mouth in her belly. Corpse-Face is using one hand to try and prise open his jaw; the flesh has shrunken and is holding his mouth closed rather tightly, and he doesn't want to pull too hard in case he pulls off his lower jaw, or possibly a few fingers. Stone Leg has pulled off his gas mask. Beneath it, his head appears to be ten years old, though the rest of his body is easily in his thirties.Terrowin Avatar by HappyTurtle. Much thanks!

They nod and drink from the glasses.
Corpse-Face, unfortunately, was sustained solely by necromantic energy. The life-energy in the juice causes him to disintegrate into a pile of ashes, his bright blue eyes resting whole and intact upon it.
Stone-Leg watches as the stone retreats from his leg and his body gets younger to match the age of his head, the clothes gradually getting bigger. There's a slight problem here, too, though not immediately apparent. Stone-Leg's stone leg was a slow-acting petrification curse, and its magic lingers. Stone-Leg will still slowly be transformed into a granite statue, it'll just have to slowly grow up his leg again, and then to his groin, down his other leg and up his torso, down his arms, and finally up his neck and to his head.
Tentacle-Girl's tentacle is growing fingers and becoming an arm whilst the mouth in her belly has sealed and the one in her face reopened. Her chest alters itself too, getting flatter as her muscles become more pronounced. She pulls off her gas mask as a long, flowing brown beard reappears. Tentacle-Girl is now Long-Bearded Guy. Alone, this chap has no problems. "Thank you for what you have done. Our brother died a long time ago, when that necromancer caught him in a ball of nether-energy. He just refused to admit it." Long-Bearded Guy's voice is much more masculine now.Terrowin Avatar by HappyTurtle. Much thanks!

"You're quite welcome. Now, both of you need to drink a bit of the juice every day for a week so your body gets used to being at a younger state again."
He un-summoned Ceberes and wrote out a prescription for the two.
"I want to see you both back in here in a week or sooner if something else happens. You can also fill this prescription with my secretary out front."
He hands off the perscriptions.

"Indeed it is." Sorn tells him, picking up the pseudodragon and setting it on the floor. The cat-sized reptile gives a squaek of protest, before crawling off to a plush basket in the corner.

Re: [Nexus] Inside 43

Well, at least now he'll know not to try the same thing on any vampires that are looking for a cure and choose a free clinic (though I have no idea why they'd try a free clinic for a cure to vampirism).
"Thank you, for everything. We shall bury him on a sunny hill, beneath an apple tree. Or possibly a pear tree. It's nigh impossible to find any tree on our homeworld, and the few that are found were usually people, or have been twisted by magical energies." Like that big dead apple tree that still grew apples, though the apples were suffused with necromantic energies and therefore not very healthy eating unless one wished to become a revenant like Corpse-Face.Terrowin Avatar by HappyTurtle.

"A pleasure to meet you, too." Westlanna replies, holding out her hand across the counter for a handshake. "Do you prefer Tsade or Tsan?"
It should be noted that Wes is a very plain human for being a Townie, and by the way Tsan's interesting appearance does not faze Wes a be, Wes has lived in Town for a while.Last edited by LadyOfWar; 2012-04-01 at 08:30 PM.

Re: [Nexus] Inside 43

Sornnolu does indeed take the lead and walks out of the building. A pair of guards fall into step behind the drow and Junior as they leave. With a gesture from Sornnolu, they fall back a bit, so as to stay out of ear shot.
"The place I've set up for you centers around an old forge." Sornnolu explains to Junior as they walk deeper into the compound, not giving another thought to the two drow shadowing them. "It was multiple buildings, but we've since connected and reinforced them. The forge itself was a lucky find. In this area, it's rare to find something so intact."
Junior will notice that the further they walk, the more delapidated the neighborhood becomes. Most of these buildings hadn't been repainted, yet, and some were missing sections of walls or rooflines. A few were almost certainly unsafe to occupy, they were crumbling so badly.~Amor Vincit Omnia~I have a Youtube Channel

Re: [Nexus] Inside 43

That certainly wasn't encouraging. Junior is used to working in at least semi-safe environments, with all the danger coming from the equipment itself. He wonders if some of these old buildings can take some of the shocks and vibrations his work entails.
Hopefully this forge will be as sturdy as Sorn says it is. If need be, Junior will ask for a relocation. It will do no one any good if he's killed by working in unsafe conditions before he can get to the fun things.
"Sounds good ta me. Forges are usually well grounded an' fire-proofed, so it'll prolly be jes fine."Last edited by Slii Arhem; 2012-04-01 at 09:06 PM.

"My thoughts exactly." Sornnolu agrees.
Their walk ends it what was once some sort of industiral district. The forge was flanked on one side by a warehouse and on the other what had been a bakery. The three buildings are pretty much whole, with only a bit of missing plaster or grafitti marring the facade.
Sornnolu gestures for Junior to open the front door of the forge. "You did bring that placard I sent you? Yes?"~Amor Vincit Omnia~I have a Youtube Channel
