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

[Beans]

She deflects the kick with her shield, gliding back a little as she swings at Kyne.

((Related to HALO Rebuild AU: with Carrie actually accepting, embracing, and honing her Blightwalker abilities, I think the way she manifests energy will be sort of freaky and geometric, like a human-scaled, less-mountain-smashy version of Ramiel. With exactly the same amount of screamy sound effect.))

[FireFox]

Kyne attempts to grab Sioda's wrist before the strike connects and use a jiujitsu type move to throw her into the ground. She wants to see if she was right about the other girl's psionics preventing that. Which will leave her wide open if she fails.

((... Well, that's creepy.))

[Beans]

She is thrown onto her back... and utterly fails not to hover still.
Been practicing for this sort of thing!
She grins as she kicks at Kyne's chest.

[FireFox]

The Aspect is hit and staggers back. Pretty good.

[Beans]

Thanks! You're pretty great yourself.
[[Bleh, class soon. MAAAATHHHH]]

[FireFox]

Kyne starts slowly backing down the hall, waiting for Sioda to attack.

[Beans]

Sioda advances... and deadtimes as I cry.

[InyutheBeatIs]

Sam waits for Chris to react.

Chris watches the two for a moment, a look that would probably give away his feeling left out flashing across his face. However, he gets rid of it, thinking it inappropriate given what little context he got for that action. Still, they are being rather passionate about the deal. But no matter, Chris goes and sips his scotch.

[FireFox]

Kyne closes her eyes, clearly enjoying herself, and steps in and out of Sioda's range, waiting for an attack.


Her mood buoyed, Sam breaks the kiss and goes back to drinking. So, Chris... did you hear about Angela and Sioda? I only found out recently.


Ally is still looking for Karyana to see if they're still friends. But if C'nor can't post right now, she could run into someone else.

[InyutheBeatIs]

Her mood buoyed, Sam breaks the kiss and goes back to drinking. So, Chris... did you hear about Angela and Sioda? I only found out recently.

Chris looks up from his drink. "Hm? Oh yeah, I heard about them getting married. Sioda told me about it herself, actually. Good for them." Chris takes a sip of his drink as he thinks about the complicated relationship...I think the appropriate word would be fractal at this point.

[Beans]

Carrie giggles, mumbling something about cuties in this base.
---
Meanwhile, the hovering one-eyed cutie makes a stabbity lunge at the nimble assassin cutie!

[FireFox]

Toby was talking about having a great big wedding and inviting our... allies here. For diplomacy and politicking, I guess. She shrugs.


The Huntress... lets Sioda impale her. She tries to pull the psionic shield down to give her room to punch Sioda in the face.

[InyutheBeatIs]

Toby was talking about having a great big wedding and inviting our... allies here. For diplomacy and politicking, I guess. She shrugs.

Chris raises an eyebrow. "Allies? Why the pause? I wouldn't think that GLoG would warrant a pause."

"Still, it seems like a rather...odd occasion to play the politics game."

[Beans]

Sioda is shocked to impale her and more shocked to be punched, her psionic armaments discorporating as she tumbles to hit the ground this time!

[FireFox]

GLoG, Watchtower, Remnant... Yeah, I know we really are allies, but we never seem to do anything with them. I guess that's what Toby wants to change. Sam continues to drink until she starts feeling buzzed, then slows down.


Kynegetis pounces on the other Aspect, attempting to pin her down. She wonders if Sioda will panic and give up, or keep fighting.

[InyutheBeatIs]

"Ah, okay. Yeah that makes sense then." Chris nods his head and finishes off the current glass of scotch. He may be getting buzzed by this point. He breaks open a bottle of rum at this point and pours himself half a glass. "I would like to meet some of our peers. Hopefully it will go well and lead to some interesting possibilities."

[Beans]

Sioda just stares up at her.
... So... I think first prize just turned out to be a trip to the infirmary?
Wasn't expecting to actually stab you and all.

[FireFox]

The redheaded soldier nods and looks to Carrie, hoping for a more fun topic to discuss. And you can always count on Carrie for fun.


Kyne bleeds on Sioda disappointedly. Then how were you planning on beating me?

[Beans]

... Husband. Girlfriend.
Sudden craving for... a bread boat with cheese and eggs and butter in it.
She blinks.
((Yes.))
Speaking of cravings, Sam, what were yours like when you were having Theo?
---
... I wanted to wear you out, not attempt murder on my future sister-in-law!

[Lady Serpentine]

Kyne closes her eyes, clearly enjoying herself, and steps in and out of Sioda's range, waiting for an attack.


Her mood buoyed, Sam breaks the kiss and goes back to drinking. So, Chris... did you hear about Angela and Sioda? I only found out recently.


Ally is still looking for Karyana to see if they're still friends. But if C'nor can't post right now, she could run into someone else.

If Ally hasn't become otherwise occupied, Karyana can be found in her room.

[FireFox]

Um... Y'know, I didn't have any real odd cravings. Sam still hated being pregnant, though.


We're both divine Aspects. Kyne stands up and inspects her wound, which is already healing.


Ally finds the right room and hesitantly knocks.

[InyutheBeatIs]

Chris blinks a couple of times at Carrie's sudden mention of cravings and the subject that was brought about. "...Should I attempt cooking that up? I might be able to cook that up without burning things."

((Also, might be heading out to a NaNo write-in in about half an hour.))

[Beans]

Pff.
Chris had to deal with me jonesing for stupid crap day and night. I think.
Did you, hon?
---
Sioda sighs.
Yes, but I don't go into sparring matches with the intention of causing people genuinely serious injuries, or at least injuries that would be serious to most.

[InyutheBeatIs]

Pff.
Chris had to deal with me jonesing for stupid crap day and night. I think.
Did you, hon?

Chris scratches his chin. "Well, there was that one time that you asked me for a burrito literally seven feet high. It was going to be filled with several pounds of guacamole, salsa, fifteen different cheeses, eggs, pickles, and one hundred different kinds of meats. Literally. Like, you had a list and everything."

[The Bushranger]

Dani might be wandering about near the kitchen.

BR is in the other kitchen. Preparing coffee!

Other characters available.

[FireFox]

((Good luck!))

Sam giggles at the mental image of little Carrie eating something that big.


You agreed to "anything goes". The assassin frowns.

[Beans]

Sioda says nothing, just looking away for now.
---
Carrie blinks.
Wow, that sounds terrifying.
What did you get me?

[Lady Serpentine]

Ally finds the right room and hesitantly knocks.

After a moment, the door is opened by the vampire, who smiles, stepping out of the way and motioning for her to come in, on seeing who it is.

[FireFox]

Kyne puts her expressionless face back on and makes a mental note to never ask Sioda to spar again. Then she starts walking away.


The powerless thief walks into the vampire's room. And doesn't even realize how bad that is.
Uh, hey...

[Beans]

[[Hello, it's me! I stole your fiancee and gave your wife panic attacks! Hey, I wondered, does this shirt make me look fat?]]
Sioda sighs and picks herself up.
In-laws are so confusing...
