Re: [Nexus] Inside 47
Grey Zone- Elf Neighbourhood
The elf is disarmed and painfully yanked by the arm. She screams and turns, trying to punch Emily in the face as she does so.
Emily's male companion has just stomped on the lower leg of another elf and broken his leg, sending the elf sprawling to floor and crying in pain.Terrowin Avatar by HappyTurtle. Much thanks!

It had taken Aiden a while to find this place, but he eventually arrived there. He wasn't much for acting, but maybe this theater group needed a writer? He was growing desperate for some kind of creative work.

Re: [Nexus] Inside 47
[Ponona Blvd]
Erin, who has been busy tending to the ill here and there and offering encouraging words, drifts over in the direction of Taul and Charity, a concerned look on her face behind her suit's mask.

Shrike recovers and sticks her tongue out at Tina. "I'd splash you for that but syrup isn't much for the splashing. Even if it does feel quite sensuous on the skin," the Exalt purrs with a wink.

Re: [Nexus] Inside 47
[Hollow Hill]
Inside the large, hill-shaped concrete building, it's rather dark, with various tables, alcoves, and other places to sit; however, somewhat more than simply entering will be required if Aiden wants to join the new group.
[The Temple of Splendours]
Rather belatedly, a strange figure arrives here, hurrying through the doors (should the Temple still be allowing people in, that is), and into the main area, barely pausing to examine the artwork in her haste.
Said figure appears to be a robot of some sort, made of bronze, in the shape of a beautiful human woman, with short, fine, black wires for hair; unlike most robots, whose clothing, if any, is part of their bodies, she's wearing a rather nice silver and forest green dress.

Aiden looks around as he enters, for someone that looks like they're the one to talk to.

Re: [Nexus] Inside 47

Well, there's a drow over in a corner who might be the one; otherwise, the most likely candidate would be the pretty elf with black and silver lines tattooed on her face, who's serving drinks and such to people, as presumably someone who works here would know who he should talk to.

Re: [Nexus] Inside 47
Charity is sick. That's the way it works. She knows she's sick... just like all these people around them. A whole neighborhood of illness.
There isn't a glaring psychic wound, or any kind of force messing with her from the outside... she's just sick. Like all the others. Look at all those sick people.
All that suffering, all that pain... it spreads. It spreads quickly. It spreads effectively. Charity knows this.
Taul knows this.
The feel of the fever... the way that the weakness holds your limbs... just imagine how that feels.
Taul won't have to imagine. He knows what it feels like from Charity. And even now he might be feeling it himself.
"Gramma, wake up!"
Near Erin, a little girl shakes and old woman lightly. "Gramma, please! Gramma... Gramma, please..."
The grandma isn't dead, but very weak. She isn't going to wake up anytime soon, but she should survive.

"You're an assassin? He's training you to kill people?" Charity gives him an incredulous look. She had missed all the clues. "I don't care what the **** your uncle needs. What about what you need? You need to be a normal kid with a normal life! And those people he has killed? They need to live. They need to live and you need to live. To grow up, fall in love, have families, quarrel with them, grow old together. That's what life is about. Not adventures and violence and killing!" By the end of her screed, she's raising her voice a little.
Grey Zone - Elf Neighbourhood
"Uh-uh-uh," Emily mocks. She tries to twist the elf's arm behind her, taking a glancing blow to the side of her face as she does. "You want your shoulder dislocated? If you do, keep fighting."
Ponona Blvd - Charity and Taul
"I am not sick." Taul says. He doesn't say it loudly, but he says it with all the conviction of a man of faith, with his god backing him up. He says it with all the faith and conviction of a man who can command the undead and cast out demons. He is not sick, and he is sure of it.My avatar! Isn't it just utterly diabolical?

She shrugs.
"Depends. How's your writing? You bring a sample, or were you planning to waste time showing off how well you can talk about it?"

Re: [Nexus] Inside 47

"...Fine, shortlife. You win. Now go and die of old age somewhere far away." The elf doesn't really want to submit, but doesn't want her arm dislocated either.
"I suggest we leave now. Whilst they aren't much of a challenge, there's more coming. You can stay, if you think twenty-to-one are fair odds, but I'm off." He's thrown the last elf through a previously-unbroken window. And there's more elves grouping up towards the end of the road. Most are armed, or at least have knuckle dusters; most have kitchen knives, pokers, sport's equipment, or garden tools, but some have swords, axes, warhammers, and one has a halberd. Though he doesn't seem to know how to use it properly.Terrowin Avatar by HappyTurtle. Much thanks!

"Well, I'm very good at talking about my writing, but I've got a couple things." Aiden pulls out a sheet of paper and a small packet, placing them both on the table. "Those are my pub creds and one of my stories that got published."

Is Taul sick?
Does Taul think he's sick?
Can Taul convince his brain that he is not sick? Can Taul convince his immune system that he's not sick? Can Taul successfully talk his body into thinking that he's not sick?
Even when there is so much sickness around him?

The drow nods, looking over his publishing credits, and reading through the story, unless it's long enough to make doing so prohibitively time-consuming.

Re: [Nexus] Inside 47

"I'm not an assassin. I just, when I fight I don't hold back. I am stronger then I look, and my Uncle has plenty of people out there that would want to hurt him. Kill him. Kill me. If I don't stop them...
He is my family, all I have left. He has given me a place to stay, to belong. I owe him.
I'm not an assassin."
Though he clearly isn't convinced of this, he is trying hard to belive it despite his feelings of guilt. Not to mention his last mission upset him a lot.

Re: [Nexus] Inside 47
[Hollow Hill]
The list of publish credits isn't terribly long, but makes it clear that Aiden was starting to become a popular writer in his home world.
The short story is of a middling length, about a man who wakes up and discovers everyone else in his city is gone all of a sudden. Overall, it's a very well-written story.

Oh. That's nice.
Why was he stressing about this? He's still in an environment suit, right? Diseases don't set in that fast, anyway. And if he really had to he could throw down a cure disease and get rid of it.
So... Taul is not sick. Now what?

It's quite possible that she might be accompanied by a green-eyed, short-haired brunette, sticking close to her side and looking around with a blush.
[Ponona Blvd]
Erin turns, and steps over torwards the young girl and her grandmother.
"Careful, honey...your grammie's weak and needs her rest. She'll be alright, I promise."
...and then after a moment's thought, she decides theheckwiddit.
And removes her gloves.
Before reaching to gently put her hands on the old woman's shoulders, and attempt to channel a small amount of healing energy into her.

The woman shifts a bit, and her eyes open slightly. the little girl buires her face into the woman's sheet and sobs.
"Ma died of fever and Dad was in the accident and Bill said he hated us and grandpa died of cancer and you're all I have left. Don't go, gramma, don't go. You're all I have left."
The woman hugs the little girl, shushing her quietly.

"Hm. Good at stories, definitely, so I certainly won't say no right away. Any prior experience with plays?"
Well, she probably isn't. But the gold-haired (literally) robot in the black and lapis dress who's also here certainly might be accompanied by her, certainly; if so, Talnissa probably has an arm around her girlfriend.

Re: [Nexus] Inside 47

Erin's heart breaks for the little girl at hearing her, and she looks away to keep them from seeing the tears in her eyes...
"It'll be alright," she says again, before turning back. "And...if you want to make some friends, you should visit GLoG sometime, alright?"
===
[The Temple of Splendours]
Ah.
...and Kara likely has her arm around Talnissa as well. Wearing a comfortably modest dress, modest swimsuit underneath, as she blushes and looks around!
"...wow."

Alas, Erin might feel a bit weak at this scene. Her temperature might rise to a fever, and she may begin to feel tired...

Next is to kneel on the floor, so he's eye to eye with Charity, and start the chanting again, to hypnotise her. You're not sick, Charity. I've reached in, with the power of Hel, and cured you. It isn't going to recur, because you're being protected now.

Re: [Nexus] Inside 47
Talnissa nods, gently squeezing Kara against her side, and smiling at her.
"Wow sounds about right, yeah..."
[Hollow Hill]
"...Broadway?", the drow asks, looking rather confused for a moment, before simply chalking it up to alternate universes. "Anyway, you're hired, for now. Here's your contract, if you'd care to sign it," she continues, going to hand Aiden a folded sheet of paper.
