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

[Reinholdt]

"Pfft. It's a well known fact that anyone with an eyepatch is by default, a pirate. Ipso factso corpeus pirateus."

[Lady Serpentine]

"Why not?"
And Erin tries to pull Lellienth up against her side.

Lellienth is pulled easily enough, though she doesn't move much on her own once she is.


"Well, my scars are back, for one thing. Which is making me reconsider all sorts of stuff, somewhat including if things are going to work out between us..."

[FireFox]

Wellll... she has shown a fondness for me booty. Angela smirks, then remembers the second thing she wanted to talk to him about. Oh! I got Callie, uh, Pyrsol to come over and say hi.

[Reinholdt]

"Oh? How did that go?"
That was pretty much Rein's one thing to ask about too.

[FireFox]

Pretty good... She seems... I dunno, like, dark. Kind of dangerous, underneath a friendly mask. You know what I mean? Angela doesn't seem to care about that, though. She just hopes she's not neglecting her future daughter.

[Reinholdt]

Reinholdt smiles reassuringly.

"No, not really."

"Do you think you two will get along?" Maybe stop holding each other prisoner on family picnics.

[FireFox]

Yeah, I think so... She shrugs. I'm more worried about her and the other kids, though. She went off to hang out with them, but was already fighting with her... cousin, Andromeda, I think?

[Reinholdt]

"Hanging out?" Callie must be seriously stepping outside her comfort zone if she's hanging out with obnoxious family she doesn't really know. "Well these things take time, feuds, and one teenage suicide pact to mend." Gee that's so comforting Rein.

"It should work out with a bit of time."

[FireFox]

Um. Yeah. I hope so. Angela is a little taken aback by the possibility of a suicide pact.

[Reinholdt]

Maybe a bit too far... "It's just Romeo and Juliet." Reinholdt explains.

"ANYWAYS, I'm sure your girlfriend wants you back and my girlfriend can only stand me being away for so long. Have you seen Tobias around? I needed to ask him a couple of things."

[FireFox]

The foxgirl closes her eyes for a moment. He's in the security room. Then she tries to hug Reinholdt and lean up to kiss his cheek before he goes. Take care, Rein.

[Reinholdt]

"Alright, you too." Reinholdt says, hugging Angela tightly before going to head to the security room and knock on the door.

[FireFox]

Enter, Reinholdt. Tobias is inside, sitting on a swivel chair and watching security footage of Ally robbing the infirmary.

[Beans]

Speaking of Angela's girlfriend, the pirate psion-paladin comes along, a spring in her step!

[Reinholdt]

Reinholdt heads in. Tilts his head a little to look at the cameras. Not bad, but stealing from places guaranteed to have cameras needed more finesse and planning Ally. Unless you don't plan on coming back. Then rob and run.

Reinholdt drops to one knee and holds out the box with the chess piece. "Tobias will you marry me?"
So wasted. If only GLoG's Tobias were here.

[The Bushranger]

Lellienth is pulled easily enough, though she doesn't move much on her own once she is.


"Well, my scars are back, for one thing. Which is making me reconsider all sorts of stuff, somewhat including if things are going to work out between us..."

"We'll figure out a way to make them go away for good. And even if we couldn't, it wouldn't make me love you any less," Erin whispers, although she almost has a quaver in her voice.

[FireFox]

Angela immediately goes to glomp Sioda!


I'm already married. To an absolutely wonderful woman who could break me in half with her bare hands. The fox-eyed king turns around and raises an eyebrow. What is that and how many tests did you run to make sure it's safe?

[Reinholdt]

"Pfft. We all know polygamy is on its way to the Nexus. It's only a matter of time."

Reinholdt stands back up. See, totally wasted on the less funny one.
"Well it's a chess piece with some vague threat about getting involved and... I guess I licked it to make sure it wasn't poisoned?"

Nope. No tests.

"Though really I just came to ask about Aurea."

[Aric Kale]

The ivory Queen will explode. It explodes into a 30 foot blast radius of fire and jagged shrapnel, and it also releases the brain degenerating virus into HALO. Tobias probably won't take much damage due to being incredibably powerful, but the room he's in is probably heavily burnt up, and maybe on fire, and unless he's immune to diseases or some other thing, he'll perhaps contract the virus.

[FireFox]

The exploding box is suddenly enveloped in a magic bubble that rips it from Reinholdt's hands and contains the blast. Toby doesn't usually cast spells so fast, but the moment he hears Rein didn't test it, he burns a great deal of energy to create the bubble as quickly as possible. The shrapnel, heat, concussive force, and the virus should be completely sealed inside the bubble at the cost of further draining the druid's energy.

[Reinholdt]

"Orrrr... we could talk about it after the attempted assassination attempt."

And a poor one it is at that! It didn't even give Tobias time to read the note or look in the box or enjoy the symbolism or anything. Now E's message is going to go right over Tobias head and be nothing but a brutal mail bomb.

Reinholdt also immediately backs away after things get ripped from his hands.

[Beans]

Sioda hugs right back, grinning.
How's my goddess today?

[Lady Serpentine]

"We'll figure out a way to make them go away for good. And even if we couldn't, it wouldn't make me love you any less," Erin whispers, although she almost has a quaver in her voice.

Lellienth gently wraps her arms around the half-ghost, frowning slightly, though it's likely hidden by her hood.

"I know it wouldn't. But people already give you enough weird looks when we're together just because I'm a drow. You don't need to deal with people thinking you're going out with a Llolthite on top of that..."

[Quinsar]

Somewhere in the base, an old, heavy wooden door- a door that looked very out of place- creaked open. From it stepped a young man with short cut, black hair. He was a very thin, scrawny individual that wore loose fitting dark blue robes. His most striking feature were his eyes; one a bright, acidic blue and the other a rusted yellow.

With a quiet, determined purpose the boy started to look for others.

[Beans]

((Beans blinked at the name on his screen, disbelieving at first.
"... Q... Quinsar?"
No, it couldn't be... he clicked the "newest post" button and there it was, a post by the man himself.
"Oh. Well, this is... this is very much a thing." Beans thought about this a moment.
Then he exploded. And the pieces exploded into dust. And the dust caught on fire. And the tiny people living in the dorm-room carpet roasted tiny marshmallows on the fires.
In other news, H E L L O I L O V E Y O U.))
This strange boy may find the universe's most awkward death goddess watching glowy jellyfish out a window; she doesn't notice if he approaches.

[Lady Serpentine]

((*Glomps Quinsar*

Welcome back!))

If Lisa is still around, a plotclone of Lellienth, one unaffected by the plot-related oddities the drow has going on, is looking for her.

[Quinsar]

((Thank you everyone! It's good to be back!I'm not sure how much I'll be doing, because of life and stuff, but I'll surely be around! How have you all been?))


Lisa could be found sitting in the library reading from a rather large book. Her horns are grown out quite a bit and she appears to be about the same age as the last time she was on screen.

~><~

The young man saw the death goddess standing there and froze. Strange, alien memories flooded his mind, memories of things that he had never done or seen. After a moment of staring wringing his hands, the young man spoke in a shaky voice, "C-Carrie? Hi..."

[Beans]

Carrie turns, blinking, and looks at him.
Oh, hi... um, have we met?
... Are you another of my children from the future?

[Lady Serpentine]

Lellienth smiles at her, tentatively approaching.

"Hey..."

[Quinsar]

((Did Lisa speak in red? I can't remember for the life of me.))

Lisa smiled up as the drow approached, "Hi hi! How are you? Her book was bound in heavy leather and had strange runes written on the outside.

~><~

The boy stuttered, then took a few seconds to attempt to compose himself.His mind was so confused, he didn't know what was happening. "I... No... I don't... i don't think so... My name is Ridvec. Ridvec Octarvio... I don't know how I know you..."
