[Nexus] The Nest/K's Forest V: Now with more arms per Karyana!

[ThirdEmperor]

Front Door

Okay, can't help but be impressed by that. Just a little. "Neato." Day breezes in through the door, finger on his chin as he examines the walking tank, Markus trailing along with a growl. "But why arms? Wouldn't tentacles be better for aiming? An howdya do th' cannon? 'splosives, right? It's totally explosives. Gas propulsion's too finicky."

"As for what I want..." Right. Right right. Got business to do here. Important stuff first. "We can start with as many a' these's ya got in stock. I'm also lookin' for some custom work in crawly diggy stuff."

[Lady Serpentine]

[Doorfront]

"That would be her job, then, actually..."

"Mm... Sort of. Thing is, the tentacles had problems with recoil; the bones provide a much more stable support structure," she replies after a moment, apparently choosing to ignore the fact that her boss was basically possessing her a minute ago. "And it's a mixture of explosives and muscular propulsion.

We currently have ten of these, some tasked out, though none that couldn't be reassigned, but if you want us to gear up production, we could get that up to fifty by the end of the day. Of course, that's assuming that we work exclusively on those... Complexity of other orders would, of course, affect that.

As for crawly-diggy stuff, we may have something you would be interested in - thirty-foot armored personnel carrier, capable of rapid burrowing and becoming ethereal -, but what are the specs for this custom thing you want done?"

[ThirdEmperor]

Front Door

"Huh." Day pauses to consider that, still examining the monster with a critical eye. Something oddly familiar about it. Tapping the beast on it's lower arm, he gestures for it to flex, so he can see how the muscles work. "One'a those sounds pretty useful for what we're doing, yeah. But I was thinking more diggy-crawly bite-y. How well's this thing bite by the way? 'cause the thing is our enemy's got these real nasty creepy-crawlies underground an we want some way of dealing with them."

Oh. That's what it is. "This's totes based on my brothers, ain't it? Stole secrets from us when ya boss was fixin' em up." Day turns, giving the girl a look.

[Lady Serpentine]

[Back of the Front Door]

The creature does, indeed, flex its arm when ordered.

"He had to know how they worked to be able to heal them, no? Awfully hard to put someone right when you don't know what's wrong or how you're supposed to be putting them back together.

As for using that information... A basic template, nothing more. They - and you, from what I've heard - are surprisingly resilient, and quite strong. It's not as though they're open market, much less the designs for them. Strictly personal-use, and seeing as we work for you, it seemed reasonable that we could use the information we gathered from our last job.

As for how well it bites... It's a massive worm with teeth. How well do you think it bites? That said, I think that some of our other designs would work better for certain parts of this. Do you have more specific information on these things they'll be dealing with?"

[ThirdEmperor]

Lobby

"No no no!" Day shouts, stomping at the floor. "Are you an idiot? Is that what I'm supposed to believe? 'Cause either you're an idiot or a sneak an I can't trust you either way!" Throwing his arms into the air despairingly, Day flops back into the nearest chair, chewing into his knuckle as he continues on ranting.

"Y'know- You know, I was thinkin' on mebbe, just mebbe giving you guys some leeway for bein' good workers an all. But you've gone an shot that t' hell. I mean- Heck! How am I gonna trust you now? Tesla! Can't once and just once you people not do somethin' dumb? Z'that too much t' ask?" Blaaaaaaaah. How come anyone who can't read his mind always has to go do things wrong? Can't they at least guess?

Miss red-and-dead is flopped on the couch, flipping through an old photo album, eyes lingering on a photo of her alive self being given a noogie by a rose-haired girl a fair bit younger than her.

Naera may end up coming up behind her; if so, she'll go to wrap her arms around Vo's neck, resting her head on the Sopholich's shoulder, smiling, though she doesn't speak yet, knowing Vo's past is a sensitive subject.

[Beans]

[Vo's]
The pale redhead closes her eyes, leaning into her girlfriend's warmth.

[Lady Serpentine]

[Vo's]

Naera smiles, softly kissing the undead woman's neck, sighighing happily as she does.
"How're you doing?"

[Beans]

[Vo's]
She sighs softly, nestling into the scrawny girl's warmth.
I need to be held, I know that much...

[Lady Serpentine]

[Vo's]

Naera slips over the back of the couch, and nestles in next to Vo, arms staying around her the whole time.
"Sad memories?"

[Beans]

[Vo's]
The redhead nods, closing the book to hold the assassin closer.

[Lady Serpentine]

[Vo's]

The mercenary (though she's not strictly against assassinations), rubs her lover's back, frowning a little.
"Anything I can do to help?"

[Beans]

[Vo's]
Holding me is all I need.

[Lady Serpentine]

[Vo's]
Naera gently kisses Vo's cheek, pulling her closer.
"Alright."

[Beans]

[Vo]
Smiling gently, the redhead wraps her arms around the smaller woman and sighs in bliss.

[Lady Serpentine]

[Vo]
Naera curls up in her lap, smiling gently.
"Love you."

[Beans]

[Vo]
Laying back, Vo rubs Naera's back and smiles.

[Lady Serpentine]

[Vo]

Naera makes soft, pleased, noises as Vo works on her; she feels rather tense.

[Beans]

[Vo]
What's gotten you so tensed up, hon?

[Lady Serpentine]

[Vo]
"Being away from you for so long, mostly..."

[Beans]

[Vo's]
Vo snuggles closer, holding her tight.

[Lady Serpentine]

[Vo's]
Naera snuggles closer as well, relaxing a bit.
"Thanks, dear..."

[Beans]

[Vo's]
Naera snuggles closer as well, relaxing a bit.
"Thanks, dear..."

Eventually she sighs and rolls onto her side, holding her girlfriend tighter.

[Lady Serpentine]

Eventually she sighs and rolls onto her side, holding her girlfriend tighter.

Naera gently squeezes the larger woman, going to kiss her.
"Feeling better?"

[Beans]

[Vo's]
The lanky redhead nods, smiling a little.

[Lady Serpentine]

[Vo's]
"Good."
Naera smiles back, nuzzling Vo's cheek lazily, apparently quite content for now.

[Beans]

[Vo's]
Vo giggles softly, stroking her hair and rubbing her back.

[Lady Serpentine]

[Vo's]
Naera relaxes more, and goes to kiss her, hands wandering a bit.

[Beans]

[Vo's]
Blushing, she kisses back and cuddles her girlfriend.
Thanks, hon.
