[Nexus] HALO 174: Just when you think you're not in Kansas anymore, turns out you are

[The Bushranger]

"Does that include Tobias?" the half-ghost asks with a smirk, giving Grant a wave as he continues on the treadmill. "So, how's things been for you?"

[DoomITP]

Maybe. I didn't ask. Things are alright. Bobbie is back to her usual self, Inspection is happening soon. I dunno about Lee though. What about you?

[The Bushranger]

"No cause for complaint," BR observes with a laugh, finishing his run and climbing off the treadmill. "Inspection, eh?"

[DoomITP]

It's weird. The kids and adults compete in events. Everyone is paired up. I used to be paired with Bobbie when I did that stuff.

[The Bushranger]

"But not anymore?"
BR shrugs, and uses ghost-power abuse to put on his shirt.

[DoomITP]

I didn't enjoy it much. Plus I don't like the idea of having my children do most of the events. They're primarily related to fighting or energy use somehow.

[The Bushranger]

"So? Sounds like a good thing if you ask me. Or is the energy use bad?"

And now some Magtokade gets drunk.

[DoomITP]

People can get killed in those events.

[The Bushranger]

"And a baby grand piano could spontaneously appear and crush me here and now," BR points out.

Hey, this sort of thing happens in the Nexus!

"But I still get out of bed in the morning."

[DoomITP]

It's a bit more common then that.

[The Bushranger]

"'Anything worth doing has an element of risk'," the ghost shoots back. "But hey, different strokes and all that."

[InyutheBeatIs]

Chris can be around, in various states of getting a drink depending on who he interacts with.

[Beans]

Caledonia waves to her dad!

[InyutheBeatIs]

Caledonia waves to her dad!

Chris waves back. "Hey there Cally!"

[Beans]

Hi dad! What's up?

[InyutheBeatIs]

Hi dad! What's up?

"Oh, not much. Just typical HALO things." All the many typical HALO things. "How about you?"

[Beans]

Good! Working on getting the future gals together to meet the other Callie that's all grumpy!

[InyutheBeatIs]

Good! Working on getting the future gals together to meet the other Callie that's all grumpy!

"...There's another Callie?" Chris looks around. "Speaking of which, where are the twins anyways? Haven't seen them around in a while..."

[Beans]

Yeah, she was there when Death Mom and Auntie Sioda and Auntie Patty saved Fox Mom! But apparently she wasn't very nice about it...
Oh, also I dunno where the twins got to.

[InyutheBeatIs]

Yeah, she was there when Death Mom and Auntie Sioda and Auntie Patty saved Fox Mom! But apparently she wasn't very nice about it...
Oh, also I dunno where the twins got to.

"...Oh. That happened?" Chris stares a bit blankly. "Must've been when I was gone." He mutters. "Yeah, I'm surprised that we haven't heard anything of the twins lately. One would think from the way they were acting that they would cause more of a scene around the place."

Chris sighs a bit. "Then again, this is HALO." My god, when did Chris become Tobias?

[Beans]

Yeah, they are pretty noticeable...
Beh, I dunno. Maybe if I lounge around in minimal clothing, Andy at least will come along!

[InyutheBeatIs]

Yeah, they are pretty noticeable...
Beh, I dunno. Maybe if I lounge around in minimal clothing, Andy at least will come along!

"That is...I'm not sure how preferable that method would be."

[Beans]

Don't worry, she knows I'm asexual and stuff.
She's just still pretty silly.

[InyutheBeatIs]

Don't worry, she knows I'm asexual and stuff.
She's just still pretty silly.

"Well, I meant more..." Chris kind of points in his general direction, before dismissing it with a wave. "Nevermind about that."

[Beans]

Okay! Not minding! She giggles, tail swishing.

[InyutheBeatIs]

Okay! Not minding! She giggles, tail swishing.

Chris grins at her. "Anyways, what else have you been doing lately?"

[Beans]

Lots of sparring and training!
She has a few new little scars on her hands; she may have more elsewhere, but she has a long-sleeved top on so it's hard to tell.

[InyutheBeatIs]

Lots of sparring and training!
She has a few new little scars on her hands; she may have more elsewhere, but she has a long-sleeved top on so it's hard to tell.

"Uh-huh. Who are you sparring with lately?" Chris raises an eyebrow.

[Beans]

"Mostly the drones these days."

[FireFox]

Oh, that's cool.
Carrie nods. Though I don't know much about Inside myself.
---
Sioda sighs.
I do hope our Callie doesn't get on the bad side of the other one...

"Reynard? I feel like I should know that name..."
Patty thinks for a moment, then shrugs.
And nods in agreement with Sioda.

Bran nods as well. It sounds, uh, interesting...


If she takes enough people with her, it shouldn't be a problem. But I just want to talk to the other Callie.
