{Nexus} GLoG LXXX: The Continuation of a New Era!

[Lex-Kat]

Toby is wandering around the camp, looking around contemplatively.

Melody goes to the MedLab, looking for Tobias again. She sees the notes, but doesn't take them.

Main Cabin- Kitchen

The drone's scan won't pick up anything. Reelshka doesn't have an alignment.
I just wanted to chat a bit about your powers and how you're growing up, the goblin says, sitting down on a stool. A serious upbringing talk loses some of its dignity when the adult isn't any taller than the child.

Oddball is trying to help, but he doesn't always get things right. Oddball also has no alignment; though if one must be picked up, it's probably the unintelligent animal's brand of True Neutral. Not that Oddball is unintelligent, he's just more focussed on the same priorities of survival as an unintelligent animal than on the true sentient's priorities of emotion, morality and so on.

That box of sugar is equally likely to be a box of salt, or flour.

Infirmary

Krystal nods a little as she takes the phone. She didn't catch the number.

Alright. I'll see about having people keep an eye out for him.

This point is likely when Demon Queen and Shrike enter the infirmary.

[FireFox]

Med Lab

After awhile, Toby walks back into the lab and smiles at Melody. Hey, what's up?

[Lex-Kat]

{MedLab}

Hello, Mister Druid. Can you explain this stuff to me? I want to be informed, when I try to get Nuka-Cola banned from the Nexus.

[FireFox]

Med Lab

Ah right, people come from different worlds and different levels of scientific knowledge... Toby looks over his report. Reading this and knowing that the soda is radioactive should be enough for people from modern or futuristic times, but for people from your typical fantasy setting... I dunno, just tell them it has evil spirits inside who will make you sick and die.

[Lex-Kat]

{MedLab}

Melody bites her lip and nods. Do you know where I can make fliers? And then an idea comes to her. Hey! Maybe we could hold a seminar or something, and you could explain it to them. she smiles at her own brilliance. She gets it from her momma's side of the family, obviously.

[FireFox]

Med Lab

I'm sure there are places for that sort of thing in the Blue Zone... Toby blinks. What? Eh, I don't think that's a very good idea. I like to stay out of the public eye... and besides, doesn't Inside have a Department of Health?

[Lex-Kat]

{MedLab}

They do!? Well this will be easier than I thought. Thanks Mister Druid. And Melody tries to give him a hug.

[FireFox]

Med Lab

Well, I would hope s-ack! The Druid finds himself hugged. Um, thanks... but could you let go of me before Reinholdt sees you and challenges me to a duel or something?

[Lex-Kat]

{Med Lab}

Melody releases Toby. Huh? Why'd he do that?I would think you'd have more to worry from Misses Druid. she winks. Ya know, hugging a younger girl, alone, in your MedLab.... with the doors closed. she whispers the last part.

[FireFox]

Med Lab

Toby doesn't even bother to refute the absurd idea that Quinn doesn't trust him. Instead he just smirks. Reinholdt likes you. Likes you, if you know what I mean.

[ThePhantom]

Camp Ground

Marley pushes a covered table out of Cherry cabin. He pauses for a moment, then continues to push the table into the camp grounds.

[Lex-Kat]

{MedLab}

Of course he likes me. Melody smiles. He's my best friend. Except my mother, of course. She obviously doesn't get what Toby means.

Well, gotta fly. Hope to see you around. she heads to the exit.

[FireFox]

Med Lab

Ha! You're friendzoning the poor bastard? I can't imagine why you wouldn't want to hook up with someone that hot, but that's your loss. Toby hands her the report with a chuckle.

[Lex-Kat]

{MedLab}

Friendzoning? Melody asks, as she returns for the report. Reinholdt doesn't want to "hook up" with me. He loves Ermine.

[FireFox]

Med Lab

I honestly don't know what he feels for Ermine, but she's a bad influence on him. If he's going to find redemption, he should stay away from alcoholic pirates with questionable morals. The Druid shrugs. I do know that he really likes you. Maybe not to the level of "hooking up", but I bet he won't complain if you kiss him.

Melody's eyes are wide with shock. But... we're friends. Then she smiles, as if she gets the joke. Oh, you almost had me there, Mister Druid. I didn't know you were a prankster. then she frowns. Right? she looks as if she's not sure how she wants him to answer.

[FireFox]

Med Lab

Well, as a matter of fact I am a prankster. Practically an archetypal trickster, really. But the truth can be more fun than a lie. Toby smiles, amused by this whole situation. I wonder what you'll do now.

You could just ignore everything I said and trust that you know best about Rein's feelings... but it's not like teenage girls are completely on the ball and, furthermore, the sentient being's capacity for self-delusion is astounding.

You could take my advice and go kiss Reinholdt the next time you see him... but that would be stupid. What kind of youngster does exactly what adults tell them to? The boring kind who possesses no critical thinking skills, that's what! Don't take people's words on blind faith, kid, it'll only lead to frustration.

You could be smart, rational, and logical about this whole thing and just ask him... but the cat lies more than I do, so he may try to deny it. So you'll have to use whatever basic powers of perception and analysis you have been hitherto ignoring and determine the truth for yourself. Good luck!

Toby doesn't really know why he's meddling, but he has always enjoyed exploring different solutions to interesting problems.

[Main Cabin Kitchen]

"Well...maybe," Jamie allows, as she pours the cake batter into a cake pan. "I'm trying to learn things that'll help me do things non-magically, but as long as I can use it to help people, why shouldn't I?"

Main Cabin- Kitchen

Reelshka scowls at the drone. I am a Good League of Good member. A Council member, in fact. Then she turns back to Jamie.
Because magic is dangerous in more than one way. It's good that you want to help, but you shouldn't put yourself in danger either. Or assume that you're better suited to deal with people's problems than they are just because you have magic. This is Reelshka's biggest worry, really. Power at a young age tends to go to one's head.

Lake Shore

"Hmm? Oh, I just hunted a rabbit and I haven't washed my linens yet,m. I'm not hurt, it's not my blood,m."

Oh. Okay.

"Both times someone has seen my linens, they thought I was hurt; I must really need new linens,m. Oh! Julie was going to get me new linens,m! I forgot,m! Bye Brinika, Bye Renetta'm!"

With that, she hurries toward the main cabin. That was kind of odd.

Brinika's ears twitch. That was weird, she says.

[Gullara]

[Lake Shore]

"Bye Keo." Renetta gets back to her feet with a bit of difficulty. Kneeling was not the best plan. "I guess it's just you and me now." She says, smiling down at the little goblin girl.

[Morty]

[Lake Shore]

Yeah. Brinika sits down on the ground and her ears twitch a little and move around as she thinks. Miss Renetta, you know Waterstrider and Pathfinder, yes?

[Earl of Purple]

Main Cabin Kitchen

Oddball is confused by the drone. He has no idea what it's saying, though fortunately for the drone Oddball follows Jamie around all the time anyway. "Oddish!" Oddball is still excited, though. The room should start filling with a nice smell; quite faint at first, but it won't stay that way for long. It won't reach overpowering levels, though.

Melody scowls at Tobias. We'll see. is all she says, before leaving the MedLab. She has to go to Inside.

((And this is all after what is currently happening on Melody's Island))

Reelshka scowls at the drone. I am a Good League of Good member. A Council member, in fact. Then she turns back to Jamie.

bzzt! A council member? May I please have my files updated? Would you like some cake?

[FireFox]

Med Lab

Toby watches Melody leave, then heads back outside to hang out.

[Reinholdt]

Outside

Vincent and Caroline of NO arrive here!

[Lex-Kat]

{Outside}

Caroline will try to hold Vincent's hand, if allowed. She'll look about for someone to greet them.

[ThePhantom]

Outside

Marley having paused once again with moving the covered table, spots Vincent and Caroline. He picks up his cane, and walks towards the pair.

"Hello there. Can I help you with something?"

[Reinholdt]

Outside

Vincent doesn't mind hand-holding.

"Yeah, we're looking for a woman adult. Have you seen her?"
...
You have to provide some description Vincent! Woman adult doesn't cover it very well! D=

[Lex-Kat]

{Outside}

Caroline nods in agreement. The nice one, who's not Quinn. I think she has brown hair. She seems just as helpful.

[ThePhantom]

Outside

"Which one, there's a number of brown haired ladies that live here."

Marley shugs his shoulders, he needs more information than that. Still not sure which one they mean.
