[The Temple of Spelndours]
About a minute after Fettina enters, she might notice a familliar figure arriving. Shrike, the red-headed exotic Exalt she knows rather well, steps inside, her hair falling in its usual mop and a plain robe discared to reveal a...rather racy two-piece.
Stretching, she looks around, nodding to Ilpholin approvingly (and appraisingly) before grinning at Tina.
"...looks like I've come to the right place..."

Ilpholin looks around at the strange hello, noting another approaching fish. "Hi." And another behind that. Really should have brought Rein to pounce on all of these. "This isn't the crowd I quite expected to be interested in... this."
Looking at Shrike, she finds an exception. That is the sort of crowd she expected!
She peers at the GLoG representative for a while before turning back to the fishies.

"Didn't the wall ask for strong swimmers?
This is about what Denvark expected. Then again that may just come from him not understanding surfacers all that well. He starts to wonder if this is some sort of swimming competition. Oh well might as well try and meet some people.Check out My Writing

Shrike is quite ripe for the peering.
And Ilpholin gets a wave since Tina is stuck in something stickier than maple syrup: deadtime ooze!

Re: [Nexus] Inside 47

Shrike may or may not already be hated by Ilpholin for various Council related reasons. Or she might be seen as weak for her stance. Either way, being a hot and half naked is a good way to earn back Ilpholin's favor.
She gives a partial wave back before turning to Denvark. "Probably." She didn't pay that much attention. "Are you one of those weird species with super high brain power but utterly lacking in vocal cords?" Errr... go tact?Last edited by Reinholdt; 2012-09-03 at 06:47 PM.

Myrim isn't a fish-person! She's more of an axolotl person. Certainly more amphibian than fish or reptile. Either way, it seems she managed to change into a red two-piece swimming costume and is about to jump into the pool of maple syrup.Terrowin Avatar by HappyTurtle. Much thanks!

Whoops, missed you before, McBish. Sorry about that.
"Oh, hey." Pavati sits up and turns to look at the newcomer. "It also asked for attractive people based on what I heard. I'd bet my left flipper it's some guy that wants to ogle people who come who put this on. But I thought it sounded like fun anyway." She giggles. Her eyes wander over to Kal. "'Sides, it never said just women were invited, so there's other reasons to show up." She gives Ilpholin a wink.

Re: [Nexus] Inside 47

No, I have vocal cords and speak, though it works best underwater and with beings that can hear lower frequencies. Though many of my kind like to think they have a super brain.
I can understand your language, mostly. But I wouldn't be able to speak it.
Denvark has learned about tact recently, up to the point that he isn't standing or sitting awkwardly close to her right now. The race he belongs to tend to stay close to each other when swimming, like fish in a school. He keeps his distance, though still stands closer then a stranger normally would. Even that seems like a huge gap to him.
He turns to Pavati and nods at what she says.
I see. I guess I may be out of place here then. Though this syurp tastes surprisingly good, and I do wonder what it is like to swim in it.Check out My Writing

Re: [Nexus] Inside 47

In this case it was Ilpholin being not-tactful. Not Denvark.
"Ah. Makes sense." She has to give Pavati a look now. A long one. "Really? You're going to be suggestive now?" She wasted one of her best lines on Pavati!
Ilpholin scoots over on the edge properly now so that both her legs are dipped in the pool and covered in syrup.

Re: [Nexus] Inside 47

...only half?
....but either way, Shrike walks over to the edge of the pool and slowly takes a seat, sliding her own legs into the pool. "...I have to say, I never expected something so...decadent, here. Like something from the First Age."

Re: [Nexus] Inside 47

Myrim turns to Shrike. "This is nearly City Elvish, isn't it? But they'd never have opened up to anybody else. Except maybe Wood Elves or Sea Elves." It's doubtful that Shrike is aware that the City Elves of Myrim's homeworld are xenophobic slavers that every so often try to conquer the world and place all other races beneath their heel.Terrowin Avatar by HappyTurtle.

"Shrike, honey! It's been a while," Tina says, shaking off her ooze to grin at Shrike. She approaches the pool and bends forward, peering into the depths. "What'd they do in the First Age? Pudding?"
For the first time, looking to her left, Tina gets a good look at Ilpholin. "Hey, don't I know you?" That's right, she was that girl Darcy's friend from the Black Dragon. Ugh. Well, no use stirring up trouble. She keeps resentment - if there is any - off her face for now.My avatar was done by Gullara. Thanks again!

"Pfft, don't worry about being out of place. Just have fun!" Pavati declares. That's her take on it at least.
The selkie seems a bit lost as to how to respond to Ilpholin's look and following comment. "Huh?" Why would she have been suggestive earlier? =x

Re: [Nexus] Inside 47

Ah but Denvark has only just recently learned of tact, he didn't pick up her lack of it there at all. He just figured she wanted to know why he wasn't speaking.
Well then I guess I shall find out how fun it is to swim in syrup.
He doesn't see anyone in charge. And Ilpholin seems to be enjoying the pool at least a little bit so he figures he can just hop right in. He knows he won't be able to breath down there through his gills but he can hold his breath plenty long. So he dives right in, his sleek body gliding in as he pulls himself under with his arms, red fins flaring out.
He manages to spin himself around so he is looking up and out of the pool, the whole sensation is hard to describe. I suggest just filling up your bathtub and trying it out yourself.Check out My Writing

"Forget it." Ilpholin tells the clueless mermaid.
She looks at Shrike for a moment as she sits down nearby, mostly just to look at Shrike before getting addressed by Tina. Taking a long examination of Tina, Ilpholin finally replies. "Well I am pretty famous."
I had to look that one up in the Digest. Tina was with someone by the name of... Maxwell? Is that TE's old fairy character? Anyways Ilpholin was defending Darcy cause Darcy didn't think dreams coming true was a good idea. And according to the digest Darcy has absolutely no lust interest in Ilpholin. *nods*
But either Ilph doesn't remember Tina or she's pretending she doesn't.Last edited by Reinholdt; 2012-09-03 at 07:58 PM.

Pavati just shrugs at Ilpholin. What was that all about? Seeing Denvark dive in, the selkie decides to join in the fun. She slips off the edge of the pool and into the syrup. She emerges a moment later and wipes the sticky substance away from her eyes. "This is so weird!" It's difficult to swim through, but she's well suited for it.

Denvark stays undersyrup holding his breath.
A most unusual sensation. Heavy, and sweet.
A thought occurs to him and he starts to sing under the syrup. He sounds almost like a whale, and it could probably be felt through the thick syrup almost as much as it is heard though it would be hard to hear anything above it.Check out My Writing

Re: [Nexus] Inside 47

"Never heard of City Elvish," Shrike says with a shrug to Myrim, before grinning at Tina. "It has been too long! And yeah, they used pudding, syrup, fudge, and...well, I'll let you use your imagination, there's nothing you can come up with they didn't do."
And she knows how Tina's brain works.
...and the Solar Exalt leans back a bit as she feels Ilpholin's eyes on her. Just because she feels like stretching. Not at all to improve the view. Nope, nope, nope.

"Mm. Yummy," Tina says in a rich, rather sultry tone. She straightens up with her hands on her hips, making use of that imagination she's got. Chocolate, mmm... she's still a little skeptical about syrup, though. Even with the augs she's bought for swimming, this might be a bit of a challenge.
Though she doesn't yet chance a dip in the pool, she does meet Ilpholin's eyes again. Well, if those eyes manage to leave Shrike after her little display. "Hm. The Council, right? Maybe it's just wishful thinking on my part." A charming smile follows. "So who's first? The only people I see in the pool are the ones with actual fins. That can't bode well."
As for that bit in the Den, you got it. I think you're thinking of Nero, though. Maxwell was some sorta dream magi.Last edited by Murkus; 2012-09-03 at 09:41 PM.

Eventually Denvark has to come up for air, normally he could keep doing it, but his gills don't work so well in maple syrup, so he surfaces. He grins a bit, he always liked signing and tried to do so often.Check out My Writing

Re: [Nexus] Inside 47

Oh. Right.
Have no idea who played Maxwell then.
"Something like that." Ilpholin responds to Tina without elaborating on the important details. Ilph seems a little distracted to be honest.
But without another word, she scoots forward and slides in, letting it rise to her shoulders, but no higher cause she doesn't want it in her hair. It takes some strong footwork to stay afloat most likely and she doesn't really go swimming around or anything. Just kind of staying in place.

Re: [Nexus] Inside 47

"Yummy, indeed," Shrike agrees with a grin, before her attention gets turned to Ilpholin taking a syrupy dip!
Which gets quite a bit of attention from the redhead, needless to say...

Re: [Nexus] Inside 47
The Chrysalid is too busy trying to cut through the rope to notice Mrs. Bloodplunder or the second card. Electricity courses through it again, causing it to scream once more. It seems to be coming close to recovering when Mrs. Bloodplunder hits it in the back again, knocking it over and cracking the armor on its back.
The Chrysalid scrambles to get up and cut its bindings, but it's noticeably weakened now, though somehow still not dead.
[Grey Zone - Street]
The portal composed of white fog opening in the middle of the street is hardly a surprise to the denizens of the Nexus anymore. The armored warrior falling through it and trailing blood is a bit more odd, though. She lands a good distance from the portal, barely managing to hold onto her long sword. The demon that follows her through is huge, at least ten feet tall.
The armored woman who flew through the portal staggers to her feet. She brandishes her sword while clutching at the wound in her stomach with her shield arm.

Also TE, actually.
"Well, if they can do it..." Tina says, wiggling the sundress off her shoulders. I need not go into detail, but her shimmering suit doesn't cover much. It's far removed from her usual, modest choice of swimwear.
Tina takes a graceful dive into the pool, hands first, eyes shut tight as she does. She's suddenly submerged in the warm ooze, and the weight of it causes her to panic at first. The musician is dead in the syrup a moment before she stills her mind and paddles out, brute forcing her way through the murky slop. Graceful swimming isn't really enough here, even with the unnatural smoothness of her skin. Augments only go so far too.
It's a relief to hit the surface again. Tina sucks in a deep breath, whipping her hair back behind her head and wiping syrup out of her eyes with one hand. She licks her lips and spins about, dark hair resting on the surface of the water. "Warm. Gross, but warm."My avatar was done by Gullara. Thanks again!

"Probably." The Admiral says, being straight and hence not responding well to Kal.
He lights up another cigar as he takes up a good leaning position against a wall somewhere to eye the women. Look, don't touch.
Ilpholin in the meanwhile climbs out of the pool. Yes, already. As far as she's aware, the only reason to get in in the first place is to climb out afterwords and be on display. At least, she can't think of another point as to why anyone else would want to do such a thing.

"Don't worry, they're nobody important. They think they are, but their mark on history is largely negative." Myrim smiles, revealing sharp, slightly backwards-pointing teeth and diving into the pool. She struggles to swim through the thick syrup, but when she surfaces she's clearly enjoying herself.Terrowin Avatar by HappyTurtle. Much thanks!
