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

[Beans]

Carrie tries to scoop her up and hug her!
BIG SCARY DEATH GODDESS BOO.

[DoomITP]

Arlem delays her tracking down of Erin in order to attempt to give Ross a hug. "It's great to see you again! Are things with us still as they were standing before? The walls all intact? No one burned anything down? Anything discovered about that machinery you were working on?" The questions might be metaphorical, or literal, or both.

"I've found her! In the water-place, ummm a tub, right? That's what it's called? Haven't spoken much <this language that everyone in Nexus speaks> recently either. Want to come along?"

Arlem will then try to continue on towards where Erin is, hopefully with a Ross.

((MS-DOS is only 11 MB big. Wow, how things have changed.))

Ross nods and attempts to hug Arlem.

Yeah. Everything is the same.

Also, once Arlem starts to walk towards Erin, Ross will follow her.

[Recaiden]

Ross is successful, and might be slightly crushed by the returned hug.

An Arlem, presumably, bursts into the room. "Erin! What's this with the curses? And more importantly, how dare you go bleeding all over the books of the library?" She holds out a hand for the book, which, when it appears, is waved at Erin for emphasis.

((Deadtime though))

[The Bushranger]

[Kitchen]

Dani eeps and jumps as she's hugged!
And giggles, wriggling in Carrie's big glomphuggle.
"Hey Carrie! You're so scary! Eeep!"

===

[Hot tub]

Erin eeps and jumps as Arlem rushes in!
And blinks in surprise. Then clears her throat.
"Er...hey. I was trying to learn how to break a life-draining curse...and, ah, paper cuts happen?"
She is wearing a remarkably modest (by her standards) swimsuit. Thankfully.

[Beans]

[Kitchen]
The goddess grins and sits down, kissing the back of Dani's head.
How're you doing, adorable?

[DoomITP]

Ross intends to wait quietly and listen to what Arlem says. Especially since he is quite highly confused.

[The Bushranger]

[Kitchen]

"I've been doing great! How about you?" Dani giggles cheerfully, turning to kiss Carrie's cheek!

[Beans]

[Kitchen]
Carrie smiles and kisses back, letting her turn.
Wellllll...
Chris and Kyne are getting togetherrrrrrr...
Don't tell anyone or Kyne will kill meeeeee.

[The Bushranger]

[Kitchen]

Dani grins, clapping her hands in delight.
"Oooooh! That's awesome!"

[Beans]

[Kitchen]
Carrie nods with a little squee, but deadtimes.

[captainspazam]

Your friendly neighborhood shapeshifting toast, Hoffy, is out and about HALO and is available for interaction.

[Lady Serpentine]

Tirya is probably still with the others in that group?

Meanwhile, Lellienth may or may not be around, depending on whether or not they ever actually went and watched a movie and such.

[The Bushranger]

Likely so, and Erin is probably snuggled up to Lellienth's side adorably.

[Beans]

Carrie ruffles Dani's hair, giggling.

[Lady Serpentine]

Likely so, and Erin is probably snuggled up to Lellienth's side adorably.

This would be the timeline wherein they're watching a movie, not the one with her in the hot tub, right?

If the former, she probably has an arm around Erin's shoulders, and smiles down at her lover, apparently quite happy to be where she is; otherwise, she's probably borrowed one of Erin's swimsuits, and simply watches the unknown people curiously for now.

Or both, I suppose. I'm fine with whatever.

[The Bushranger]

I was intending the movie, yes.
Erin, of course, wouldn't mind Lellienth wearing a swimsuit for that, either.
And she kisses her lover's cheek.


Meanwhile, Dani's hair is ruffled. And she giggles.

[Beans]

Wanna do something, cutie?

[The Bushranger]

"Sure! What?" Dani asks, grinning.

[Beans]

Maybe watch something together?

[The Bushranger]

"Angela doing her Goddessy things?"

Dani grins, nodding happily.
"That sounds wonderful!"

[Beans]

Carrie picks her up and carries her off to the movie room!

[Mee]

Civvy's around, in a still somewhat shiny new dress-like-thingy.

Yeah.

She's in the room with the big TV, playing something.
It looks like Brawl.

[The Bushranger]

^_^

Civvy might become aware of somebody, or something, behind her.

Or not.

[Mee]

^_^

Civvy might become aware of somebody, or something, behind her.

Or not.

She's a tad busy. She's not doing terribly well, honestly. But she's not too bad, either!
She appears to be playing Marth.

[The Bushranger]

And suddenly.
A voice from behind her!

"Boo."

...it's everyone's favourite chosen of a Selenite.
I was wondering where you'd got to, Brian...

It's gonna take more than that to break her concentration.
She's trying reaaaaaaally hard right now . . .

[The Bushranger]

Brian peers at Civvy for a long moment.
Then shrugs.
And puts a frog down the back of her dress
Taps her on the shoulder.
Then hides behind the couch.

Civvy was entirely too focused just then. She had juuuuust barely managed to keep from falling off the edge.
I mean really; Marth's survivability from falling is kiiinda low.

[The Bushranger]

Brian frowns. She was supposed to have shrieked and flails by now!
So he shrugs.
Sits on the couch next to Civvy.
"I've heard games like that will rot your brain," he declares.
Loudly!

. . .
Civvy has a brain TO rot?
"But it's Maaaaaaaarth! He's so pretttyyyyyy~" Civvy objects, overly spamming the jump button.
