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

[Darklord Bright]

[Dock on the Lake]

Annabelle nods! Myrim doesn't have to leave, just get out of the way of the line for safety reasons. Maybe she can be friends too? Annabelle doesn't have many friends.

"DO YOU WANT TO STAY?" the ghoul asks, tilting her head.

[Earl of Purple]

Dock on The Lake

"Oh, please. I haven't had a conversation in a while. It's my own fault; I feel safe in the lake so I don't get out, and I haven't met any other marsh goblins here." Or anybody else that can breathe water for that matter.

[Lex-Kat]

[Main Cabin]

Andy wonders why people are knocking on the Door of the Main Room. To be true he never heared that such things happen. He goes over to open the door.

"Yes?"

"Hi! You helped us a while back I believe. Do you remember the woman who was there too? We're looking for her." Sophie.

Caroline says nothing, not feeling comfortable being around Andy.

(( Strangely, none of my characters, thus far, have a good relation with Andy.))

Main Cabin- Kitchen

Oddball is a perfectly normal Oddish. He's purplish blue, with five blades of grass growing from his head. He has a mouth and eyes, but no other facial features, and he gets around on a pair of stubby pseudopod-like root-feet. He's still excited and doing a silly dance and releasing a Sweet Scent, as he thinks (mistakenly) that Jamie is baking a poffin for him.

bzzt! Alarmed Statement: The creature is emitting a strange scent.

[KerfuffleMach2]

[Infirmary]

Doom! Impending, inexorable doom approaches! They just stepped through the doorway! Run, Bethany! Run!

Two exalts! Two! Holy overkill, Batman! Dial the army on that phone before you hang it up!

Bethany waves silently and wearily at Shrike and Zel as they enter. She then whips her head around to face Krystal.

"It looks like you have other patients to attend to. I'll just leave you to it, then."

"And thanks again for everything."

Bethany swings her legs up and over whatever piece of furniture she was seated upon and makes for the door, attempting to give Demon Queen a quick hug as she goes about her merry way.

She's not very talkative. She prefers to let her actions speak for her.

Demon Queen is surprised by the hug, but she does return it.

When Bethany goes to leave, Demon Queen calls to her. Hey, got a few minutes? My friend here wanted to talk to you about your situation. She gestures to Shrike.

[horngeek]

Outside GLoG

Four figures are currently sneaking through the forest towards the cactus fence...

----

Main Cabin

Rose is currently sitting on the front porch... meditating, it looks like.

Either that, or she's mastered the art of sleeping while sitting outside.

[Zefir]

[Main Cabin]

((Hey your other char had a good relationship until the kitchen scene.))

Andy doesn't look so pleased when he saw Caroline. She tried to kill him, do you really assume that could start a good relationship? After all Andy is a polite man and can ignore such things.

"Who exactly? Actually I remembered there are a few around. Could you give me some more details?"

If I'm not wrong there where Caroline, Liara, Sophie, Reelshka and Quinn. It's safe to say that Vincent doesn't search for Caroline.

[Reinholdt]

[Main Cabin]

Really? That many? Wow.

"Well she's human and not Quinn. Oh and she yelled Stop I think."

That's about all Vincent remembers.

[Gullara]

Ooooh! Yeah! Brinika squeaks, appearing more and more excited. Maybe it'll make Aunt Reelshka cheer up a little.

[Lake Shore]

Renetta grins at the little girl. "We can only hope. I'm sure she'll be very happy with Pathfinder." I think they might be getting ahead of themselves. <.<

[Mina Kobold]

[Andy's Room]

Lucy dutifuly translates Bill's speach as properly as her abilities allow, only taking breaks to sip her tea before it cools.

There should be few errors in her translation beyond obscure words or technological terms more advanced than what she know.

(Unfortunately, what she knows is limited to the 1929ies. So expect a lot of off-camera explanation of what computers have to do with games. )

[Zefir]

[Main Cabin]

((I'm sorry if I skip Lex, but I assume her char won't say much due to her last post.))

Ok Liara and Reelshka aren't human and Quinn falls out due to the no Quinn rule. That leaves one other person he can remember.

"Well that really only leaves one I remember. May I aske why you search for her?"

[Reinholdt]

[Main Cabin]

"We have to ask her about adult things." Vincent explains.

[Morty]

[Lake Shore]

Renetta grins at the little girl. "We can only hope. I'm sure she'll be very happy with Pathfinder." I think they might be getting ahead of themselves. <.<

Just a lil' bit.
Yeah! Brinika squeaks and then the train of her thoughts changes tracks again. Do you like it here? She asks, remembering that Renetta was one of the people taken from those horrible, terrible slavers.

[Zefir]

[Main Cabin]

"I actually don't know where she is right now, but maybe I could help. I don't know what your problem is, but since you call it adult things I may have the knowledge you seek for."

After all he assumes that they talk about sex. He is a doctor, with less knowledge in that topic, but more than a normal man. Also he is an Adult or is 21 not counting as adult?

[Lex-Kat]

((No problem. Caroline was silent....))

Until now. How can we be sure you don't hold a grudge against me? You might give us bad advice to hurt me. Caroline clings to Vincent's arm.

[Reinholdt]

[Main Cabin]

Vincent glances at Caroline. "Yeah, she's right. We really would just prefer talking to the other person, if you don't mind."

[Slii Arhem]

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.

Main Cabin

Oddly enough, Keo won't find Julie at the main cabin guest room anymore. In fact, besides the generic bed and dresser that was here in the first place, the room seems all but empty!

'All but' meaning there's a small, clean roll of linen bandages sitting in the middle of the floor, and a bright blue ball of yarn next to it. And the yarn is moving! As soon as Keo opened the door, the yarn started rolling towards it, pulled by an unknown force.

Or maybe the floor is just oddly slanted.

Rowan Cabin

Julie and Eric have probably finished unpacking and assembling all their furniture right now, and the succubus is looking very tired, yet pleased with herself. She wasn't able to do a lot of physical labor, but telekinesis goes a long way, even if it is tiring.

[Lost_Deep]

Main Cabin

YARN! Pounce!

Keo then notices the roll of linen bandages. She picks it up and sniffs it... she recognizes it as linens, but isn't sure what to make of them.

That the yarn ball can go back to running away, if it would do that. Keo would notice if such a thing happened, she's just distracted by this other odd thing that should not be here.

[Halae]

[Rowan Cabin]

Eric, on the other hand, has been doing quite a bit. Julie can tell he got tired a little while ago, but now he has momentum on a project, and so he'll keep working on it until it's done, he hurts himself, or it gets way too late.

[The Bushranger]

[Kitchen]

Reelshka's eyes narrow. See? This is exactly the sort of attitude overusing magic leads to. Besides, how do you figure when mundane means are not enough?

"Well, when mundane means didn't get the job done," Jamie says, matter-of-factly, somehow restraining herself from adding 'well, duh' to the end of the sentence.

bzzt! Alarmed Statement: The creature is emitting a strange scent.

"Huh? Oh, that's just what Oddball does!" Jamie tells the drone with a smile.

[Dock on the Lake]

Annabelle nods! Myrim doesn't have to leave, just get out of the way of the line for safety reasons. Maybe she can be friends too? Annabelle doesn't have many friends.

"DO YOU WANT TO STAY?" the ghoul asks, tilting her head.

"Oh, please. I haven't had a conversation in a while. It's my own fault; I feel safe in the lake so I don't get out, and I haven't met any other marsh goblins here." Or anybody else that can breathe water for that matter.

"They do seem to be unfortunatly scarce. You're quite welcome to stay, though." Taurus smiles.

[Earl of Purple]

Main Cabin- Kitchen

Unlike any Oddish I have ever owned on any Pokemon game, Oddball will probably keep Sweet Scent- I usually replace moves that don't deal physical damage.

Oddball is still excited, and still releasing the scent. Poor guy's going to be so disappointed when he realises it's not a poffin.

[Morty]

[Kitchen]

Reelshka puts her hands on her hips. That's precisely the attitude I'm trying to warn you about, Jamie. You shouldn't assume magic is always better than mundane. This sort of thinking leads to arrogance.

[Slii Arhem]

Main Cabin

The yarn never stopped moving in fact, dodging out of the way of Keo's pounce and still heading for the door! Run little yarn, run! It's picking up momentum and speed as it rolls, heading for the front door!

Rowan Cabin

Thankfully there isn't all that much to move, so Eric won't end up working past sunset. Once the crib and other baby supplies that Quinn donated are put together, it's just a matter of moving some furniture around and filling a closet with their clothes, I'm sure.

"Oh Eric, I'm pooped. Why don't we leave the garbage out for now and take a break? You know, I don't think we've showered together in a dog's age." Julie applies some of her husky, sultry tone to her words, trying to pull Eric's attention away from his work.

Oh yes, the garbage. Mostly it's just the boxes Julie stored her and Eric's things in, along with the boxes the furniture came in... there are a lot of cardboard boxes around.

[The Bushranger]

[Kitchen]

How Jamie manages to avoid rolling her eyes, I have no idea.
Miss Reelshka...you're completely missing my point. I never said magic was better! Just that when I've already tried mundane methods and they weren't working, I'd try magic!"

She does reach out to pat Oddball, smiling.

===

[Infirmary]

Shrike chuckles at the hug, nodding to Bethany.
And stands in the door!

[Earl of Purple]

Rowan Cabin

One of the boxes contains a sword. It's an antique-looking bronze weapon, designed for single-handed use. There's no sheath with it, just the sword itself. It is also balancing itself on its point, a sure sign of magical enchantment. Or of a very bored Invisible Stalker.

[Halae]

[Rowan Cabin]

Julie will see Eric's ears perk up when she starts talking, and when she mentions a shower, "Well, I suppose that you might want some help maneuvering around the tummy, huh?" he teases with a grin, showing off the rather larger than normal fangs he now has. His tail starts wagging as well. Evidently, he's happy with this proposition.

[Morty]

[Kitchen]

Reelshka sighs. I do hope you at least understand the point I'm trying to make, though. I'm worried about how having magic powers at such a young age might affect you.

[Lost_Deep]

Main Cabin

It's gettin away!

The roll of linen is never noticed, then. The bouncing yarn commands her attention, and she rushes after it! She will chase, pursue, pounce, and all that good stuff! She's fast, too, so that ball of yarn will have to stay on it's toes!

[The Bushranger]

[Kitchen]

"I guess I do. And, well, I try not to let it affect me.. Having great friends helps!"

At this point the oven goes ding cause there's stuff, and Jamie goes to fetch the cake.

[Slii Arhem]

Main Cabin -> Rowan Cabin

But those were her new linens! She'll have to come back for them later, possibly. For now, the little yarnball picks up the pace and zips across the GLoG campgrounds, just barely outpacing Keo. It will make it all the way to Julie's new cabin before whatever force animating it gives out and it rolls to a stop in front of their slightly open door.

And hey, Keo might be able to smell Julie's soon-mumness from out here. Mystery solved!

Rowan Cabin

"I might, or maybe I just want an excuse for another one of those heavenly rubdowns afterwards." Julie crooks a finger invitingly as she steps towards the bathroom, leaving the box clutter behind.

The sword is left as it is, sitting in a corner of the room with a towel drapped over it until they find it a better home. Julie was already warned what it did when Eric had it, so she isn't going to mess with it just yet.

"Let's get the water running then, alright Eric? Nice and hot." She'll head into the bathroom, leading the way.

[Halae]

[Rowan Cabin]

Eric simply grins, moving over towards Julie. He's slightly sweat covered because of all the effort he put into unpacking. His shirt comes off even as he's moving, so it's clear what he thinks of the suggestion

"A rubdown? Why, my dear, I would be honored."
