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

[Beans]

Ahh, curtains and cuddles and ears, oh my!
After the first, Sioda moves on enthusiastically to the second, panting and grinning. Mmm, love you, my little foxy.

[FireFox]

Tobias opens his mouth, about to elaborate on Civiron's hilarious genesis. Ori, however, has the opportunity to stop him in a variety of ways.


I love you... too, sweetheart... Angela snuggles closer and purrs happily.

[Beans]

Sioda's eye closes in bliss, relaxing into her fiancee's arms as she strokes her ears and hair. These little moments make life so much sweeter...

[FireFox]

The foxgirl gently rubs the small of Sioda's back and nuzzles her neck. Anything new going on?

[Beans]

She shakes her head.
No, it's been kind of boring, actually. But the okay kind of boring, the relaxing kind.

[Mee]

Tobias opens his mouth, about to elaborate on Civiron's hilarious genesis. Ori, however, has the opportunity to stop him in a variety of ways.

Ori chooses to stop the story in a hilarious way of her own; by whispering a mere handful of words into Toby's ear!

"Don't try to untangle it, Mr. Rain. It's a mess."

[Reinholdt]

"But I want to knooooow..."
Rein pouts.
POUTS.

Best tell him Tobias. He might go all out frown.

[FireFox]

Tobias blinks. Blinks again. And quickly changes the subject. So! Aurea's off doing research in a library somewhere. Matt is training paladins back home. You talked with Angela. Kyne and Rho are in the base and doing quite well. You'll have to talk to the Toby at GLoG to learn how Jamie and Hadrian are doing. And the rest of my children you don't know about. Was there anything else you wanted to know, Reinholdt?

[InyutheBeatIs]

Chris can manifest at his player's will be available.

((Also Reinholdt I am so sorry for accidentally ignoring your post back there. I suppose there is some comedic irony to it though. Still, seriously, sorry about that.))

[Reinholdt]

Feel free to pick it back up if you wish.

"I have no idea who Rho is and I'd still like to talk to Aurea, but barring that I suppose I'll just go bug Kwen or something. She's more fun." Reinholdt sticks his tongue out at the mean information blocking Ori, before turning to go back into the base proper.

[Quinsar]

((Sorry sorry sorry! Life stuff. Back!))

The underwater base of HALO, a good-aligned organization in the Nexus.
Aaaand the Nexus is the overlapping point of every universe.

He nodded slowly, looking confused, "I think I knew that already... And... What do you do here?

Lellienth is quite happy to hold her friend close for as long as she seems to enjoy it.

"I'm sure you did, dear," she replies quietly, and, hopefully, reassuringly. "You're a good person, and whatever business you had, I'm certain that you did all you could to see it resolved well, which is all She asks."

Well, I hope that I pleased her with what I did, and I certainly made sure that it turned out okay. How have things been here?

[Lady Serpentine]

Well, I hope that I pleased her with what I did, and I certainly made sure that it turned out okay. How have things been here?

"They've been okay. Erin and I are still together, and I only got blown up once while you were gone... Oh, and I've been keeping an eye on your grove, making sure it's been alright and all."

Though her player seems to recall it getting burned down maybe? But he doesn't know what that whole thing was all about, if it even happened, and also vaguely remembers that it was possibly resolved.

[Beans]

He nodded slowly, looking confused, "I think I knew that already... And... What do you do here?

Mostly I just... do my death goddess thing, help people to their afterlives and stuff...

[The Bushranger]

((Sorry for the delay. Brain has been full.))

Lellienth gently kisses her cheek, nestling against her.

"If you're sure, love..."

"Absolutely," Erin declares, hugging Lellienth closer and kissing the top of her head. "And completely."

===

Angie looks down at the helpful little DRD with a smile.

"You can take me to John? Thanks buddy."

She will follow it to him.

The DRD chirrups happily, and leads the way to The Lair!
Where the ghost in question can be found inside.

[Lady Serpentine]

((Sorry for the delay. Brain has been full.))



"Absolutely," Erin declares, hugging Lellienth closer and kissing the top of her head. "And completely."

(I am a B(ea)R of very little brain?

Sorry, I definitely understand that feeling, I just couldn't resist the reference...)

Lellienth smiles a bit, nuzzling into Erin's lap.

"Thanks, dear... Oh, and I actually have some good news, too, by the way."

[Quinsar]

Mostly I just... do my death goddess thing, help people to their afterlives and stuff...

Okay... Well,I just woke up behind a door and it led me here and I'm not sure why. Carrie might sense that, magically, something is a bit... Off with him.

"They've been okay. Erin and I are still together, and I only got blown up once while you were gone... Oh, and I've been keeping an eye on your grove, making sure it's been alright and all."

Though her player seems to recall it getting burned down maybe? But he doesn't know what that whole thing was all about, if it even happened, and also vaguely remembers that it was possibly resolved.

Lisa smiled and went to give her another hug, Well, thank you!I really appreciate that!

[Beans]

Carrie frowns, leaning in closer to focus more intently on him.
Hold on, there's a thing.

[Lady Serpentine]

Lisa smiled and went to give her another hug, Well, thank you!I really appreciate that!

Lellienth smiles as well, gently returning the hug.

"You're welcome, dear... It's a nice place, and you deserved to have someone looking out for it.

Speaking of which, do you want to head there? Celebrating your return seems appropriate, and as I recall, it was rather nice for that last time..."

[The Bushranger]

(I am a B(ea)R of very little brain?

Sorry, I definitely understand that feeling, I just couldn't resist the reference...)

Lellienth smiles a bit, nuzzling into Erin's lap.

"Thanks, dear... Oh, and I actually have some good news, too, by the way."

(Maybe I'll be better if I nom some hunny. )

Erin smiles, and gently brushes Lellienth's hair (or tries to, at least).
"You're welcome, love...and what is it?"

[Lady Serpentine]

(Maybe I'll be better if I nom some hunny. )

Erin smiles, and gently brushes Lellienth's hair (or tries to, at least).
"You're welcome, love...and what is it?"

(Perhaps. Or maybe some condensed milk. Though in that case, you'd have to do without the bread. )

Lellienth offers no resistance to that, smiling a bit more.

"Lisa's back. Though come to think of it, I don't know if I've told you about her..."

[Mee]

Feel free to pick it back up if you wish.

"I have no idea who Rho is and I'd still like to talk to Aurea, but barring that I suppose I'll just go bug Kwen or something. She's more fun." Reinholdt sticks his tongue out at the mean information blocking Ori, before turning to go back into the base proper.

Ori, finally stepping out from behind Toby, sticks her tongue back out at him.
Rein might notice, if he looks before or even after he turned away: that this is in fact Angela's mother; whom she got nearly all her non-deity-augmented looks from.

Then she just raises an eyebrow at the security monitor to the infirmary.
"What, am I just not good enough for you any more?"

[Reinholdt]

Reinholdt does look before he turns away and then looks again after he turns away.

I'm sure that double-take was just because of the wings.
Yes.
>>

Anyways, Reinholdt goes to wander around the base looking for mischief interesting people.

[FireFox]

What? Oh, she's just an unimportant thief. The girl amuses me, so I'm letting her get away with it. But if Orianna is paying attention and knows her husband well, she may notice the corner of his mouth turn up a micrometer or two, his tell that something is more important than he's admitting. You know I prefer old hags to young girls. He grins and tries to pull the angel into his lap.

[Beans]

What? Oh, she's just an unimportant thief.

((IT IS CONFIRMED. SHE'S MEGATRON OR DURANDAL OR SOMETHING. ))

[The Bushranger]

(Perhaps. Or maybe some condensed milk. Though in that case, you'd have to do without the bread. )

Lellienth offers no resistance to that, smiling a bit more.

"Lisa's back. Though come to think of it, I don't know if I've told you about her..."

(())

"I'm not sure you did, love. Old friend of yours?" Erin asks, smiling.


Dani might be sneaking about somewhere.

[Lady Serpentine]

(())

"I'm not sure you did, love. Old friend of yours?" Erin asks, smiling.

"Sort of, yeah... She's Carrie's grandaughter, and one of her parents is dead, while the other is... well, Din... so I took her in, sort of, and started training her as a priestess.

And come to think of it, I have, actually... Remember back when I was looking for a smith because Din had smashed a holy symbol I gave to someone? That was Lisa I gave it to."

[Hattish Thing]

Reinholdt does look before he turns away and then looks again after he turns away.

I'm sure that double-take was just because of the wings.
Yes.

Anyways, Reinholdt goes to wander around the base looking for mischief interesting people.

It is possible REinholdt will run into The Inspector, who's wandering about looking for nothing in particular, not even sure why he's here, or where he was.

[Reinholdt]

Reinholdt's already fighting one of Noodle's characters though. They probably don't need another fight.

Wander wander.

[The Bushranger]

"Oooh, I see. That's sweet of you," Erin says, smiling brightly.

[Hattish Thing]

Reinholdt's already fighting one of Noodle's characters though. They probably don't need another fight.

Wander wander.

Thenardier can't remember Reinholdt. He was stuck in a soul gem for 15 years in a desert. He's completely harmless to Reinholdt, seeing as he can't remember him, let alone his own name.
