Re: [Nexus] Inside 48
Ashley sighs a little when some guy rushes as the apparent bounty hunter out of nowhere. She'd hoped to keep any violence from happening, but apparently that would be a no-go. So instead of rushing in to fight as well, she tries to sneak past the fight by climbing on one of the walls to talk to the woman in the alley.

"I'd really rather you not do that, miss."
Oh look, Dalton's back. Seems his view to the scheduled inferno happened to come with a great spot from which to see Latalla trying to ruin everything. It took some effort rushing all the way back down here to confront her, and the young man is a little winded from all that dashing about, but I don't think that's likely to make much of a difference here.
"I know you paid me and the other guys were complete bastards to you and all; you've got a right to be mad and whatnot, but that's my fire you're screwing with, my incandescent inamorata. Please stop doing that."
A pistol is held aloft, centered over where Latalla's heart probably would be, if she were to have such mundane and pedestrian internal anatomy. Dalton's finger applies increasing pressure on the trigger, already racing ahead on its way to put a bullet in the reality-shifter, with only the vague feeling that he ought to give the woman a chance to stop all on her own preventing him from decorating her torso with a flurry of deadly tracer rounds.

Calvin is about to respond but his cell phone starts to ring in his pocket. Pulling it out of his pocket he quickly checks who is calling.
"Sorry about this, I need to take this."
He flips open his phone putting it to his ear listening to whoever is on the other end. The call is pretty short and Calvin doesn't have much to say besides the occasional yeah or ok.Check out My Writing

Re: [Nexus] Inside 48
Kribulkin Street
Rats! No, wait. Kobolts. They seem to be fleeing their building now that a hole has been punched through it and it was on fire.
Shoot! No, not yet!
Latalla stops pumping water into the building and turns to face Dalton.
So, we meet again. I always knew it would come down to just the two of us. I knew it since the day we met, so many years ago. Of course, you never knew the truth about our pasts and how they intermingled, did you? Never knew.... that we are brothers!
Dun Dun DUUUUUUUUUUN!!!!!
Wait. No you aren't. *baps* Stop that!
Okay, not brother. And I guess we haven't met. But how dramatic would this be, right? Anyways, lets fight!
Dramatic music fills the air and the camera swoops around the two, capturing them in sweeping shots before settling so that the stand facing each other with the smouldering building behind them as an epic setpiece.
Latalla's jug of water seems to have disappeared and she holds her hand out to draw her weapon now that actual combat has started and she can't just take 20 to get the one she wants.
62.
Her weapon cycles through the options: sword, mace, machine gun, bag with a toaster in it, banana cream pie, folded chair, etc, etc, etc... It finally slows until she is holding a giant laser cannon with autosights and overburn functionality, capable of dealing over 54d100s of damage per round, fired as a free action, and then the weapon ticks once more and she is holding an ax. Not a shining battle ax. No, the kind you use for chopping wood. Also, her shirt is now red plaid flannel.
Sometimes I wonder if that gun is even on the list or just there as a tease. Whatever. Apparently I'm a lumberjack and that's okay.
She goes to take a step towards Dalton but stops.
Wait, what is your speed? Because this ax gives me a penalty on my initiative, so I think you might get to go first this time.Still not really here. Still just an illusion.

Re: [Nexus] Inside 48

That's fine, I already told her most of what she needs to know, and I'm pretty sure she works with a few grigs or something like that. She doesn't have any idea how to use whatever grig talent she got stuck with, but that'll come with time. Anyway, apart from walking is there anything in particular you wanted me to do? I didn't think much past "find you and turn your clothing trap against you" so if we're going to be hanging out we should come up with something to keep us both occupied before one of us gets too bored. Either one of them being bored and in the presence of the other is a bad thing for everyone within a few blocks.Julie, everyone's nth favorite succubus, by Gulaghar.

Re: [Nexus] Inside 48
"It's innate.. Kinda sorta, at least." the catamander said, scratching at her chin as she began circling around the old willow. "Really.. 'S cause it casts a large shadow. Especially in the morning where they're all slanty because of the sun's position. 'S why we can't come back till the afternoon at least. Slanting in the wrong direction. I mean, it wouldn't make much difference for short jumps as it would be just be any connecting points but for the large ones you need to do all this complex stuff so you can go to where you're wanting."
Reaching into her bag, Nephea produced something that appeared to be a small chunk of solid grey stone with a fuse sticking out of it, all within a small clay bowl. "Right. I think we're good now.." she muttered as she put the bowl on the side of the tree that was basking in the sun before beconing the Wizard to follow her to the shady side. "Erm.. Last thing. Got a light?" she asked, pointing at the fuse.

That hadn't even occurred to me... happily, I still need to sleep sometimes (don't ask why, I'm not really sure) so you won't have to deal with me all the time. Just most of it...
You know what, I'm going to work on picking apart the stuff I know about half-dragons. Would you be against being a bit extra blue for a bit? and scaly? And able to breathe lightning? You just do whatever it is you do.

Re: [Nexus] Inside 48
Walking Away from a Park
Against? Maybe a bit. I just got over how weird it was to have a blue scaly chest for a few weeks. Besides, it'd kind of defeat the purpose of you figuring out how walking works if I had to adjust for a wings and tail and weird feet. It wouldn't be any easier for me than for you with all those changes. She replies reasonably as she walks out of the park and down a random street. Nowhere to go but onwards.
And hey, what's with all these assumptions that I do things? You'd think that you of all people would know me better than that. I've got no plans, no fixed ideas for what to do, nothing.Julie, everyone's nth favorite succubus, by Gulaghar.

Re: [Nexus] Inside 48
"My speed stat?"
Dalton peers at the building, which already seems to no longer have any chance whatsoever of being incinerated as according to the arsonist's original plans. Crap, they're all getting away! An afternoon that seemed to have so much potential is ruined! Some really good and expensive explosive material went into that fire, too!
"Why, just high enough to do this!"
Dalton immediately turns around, and tries to run away. Screw this bull****. He's not about to fight some crazy reality-bending girl for nothing! The fire's ruined, and there's no changing that now, so he might as well just try to minimize his losses and save the bullet for when he's going to really need it.

Re: [Nexus] Inside 48

((>.< Derp! Sorry!))
The baby red dragon unsteadily crawls over to the food and curiously pokes at it with one of its paws. It doesn't actually quite know what to do with the meat and stares at in confusion for a good minute before sniffing at it. Instinct soon takes control of the baby dragon and it begins nibbling on the slab of protein.
"You want food, daddy?"
It questions. This dragon is uncharacteristically more than willing to share its items with other creatures! Perhaps greed isn't genetically coded into this breed of dragon?
Also, would you like the dragon to be male or female? It won't change all that much, but it is something that might matter in the distant future.

[Alyca and Miriah's Car - Flattery Will Get Justin Everything]
It will!
Telling Alyca that she is pretty does automatically improve her mood. While she doesn't stop crying, she won't resist being pulled off of the steering wheel. Quite the opposite, in fact! She'll attempt to position herself so that her head possibly ends up buried in Justin's shoulder as she attempts to hug him tightly and softly cry into the aforementioned shoulder. And she quits belittling herself under her breath too! But she does feel terrible for lying to Justin. If only she could be honest with him and cease with these charades, but at the same time, the less he knows the less harm that could possibly come to him if something did go awry!
"We've been seeing two psychiatrists once a week since we were freed, and while they're all in agreement that I'm beyond irredeemable, they've never picked up on any self-image problems with her."
"Maybe I'll schedule us in for an extra session this week..."
Miriah thinks to herself aloud, visually examining her sister with more than a hint of concern in her eyes, her cell phone carelessly discarded on the seat to her right.

Latalla watches him run away and frowns.
Aaaaaaawwww.... That's no fun at all.... Oh well.
She shrugs and unequips her ax. Too bad. She was thinking she might get some good XP....
Hehe. XP looks like a MNEEEEEEEEH! face.
She looks back at the now mostly empty kobold house.
Oh well. At least I ran those stinking smurfs out of town once and for all.
She turns and proudly stalks off.
****
From a hole in the foundation of the house emerges several tiny blue creatures with white mushroom shaped hats. They watch Latalla skulk off and converse amongst themselves.
The Evil One came close to destroying us this time.
Indeed. If not for the betrayal of her compatrismurfs, all would have been lost.
What shall we do now?
We tell Elder Smurf. This is only a setback. The Smurfoning will happen and this world will be reduced to smurf and rubble.
Smurf and rubble.Smurf and rubble.
They turn and head back into the darkness, vanishing into the depths of the earth once more. From deep within their hive comes the faint echo of chanting and dark magics as eldrich forces are called upon to one day lay waste to the world above, preparing the way for the new dark masters of the land.

Re: [Nexus] Inside 48
At the Willow Tree
Of course. Picking up a twig from the ground, the Wizard lights it with a word and hands the improvised match to Nephea.
And there's not really much else to say. He's simply waiting and watching.
Shoulda Stayed Out of the Red Zone
Wrath overbalances as his strike meets thin air, the crook's blade slicing open the muscles and fatty tissue of his leg before he can right himself. Blood joins the rainwater pooling in the dips and depressions of the alleyway, the charge becoming a stumble that sends the vigilante crashing into a pile of garbage left at the mouth of the alley.
Not a very glorious start to his holy crusade. But at least it isn't an end to it- By another turn of good fortune the bounty-hunter's blade somehow missed the crucial Achilles tendon. He won't be matching his opponent's fancy footwork any time soon, but grabbing hold of a window ledge Wrath manages to pull himself back on his feet, favoring the uninjured leg heavily.

The man nods again. He knows that priests allways need a sign of their go. He is just a bit confused what a man like him wants and who Terenti is.

If Zefir had any idea how to deal with a kid he would do it right now, but he has 0 experience. Next time he should ask for a outgrown one, much less unknown territory.

Maggy's Day Thanksmas Parade - All Over Blue Zone
In celebration of Magtok's birthday, the cyborg seems to have...wow! He's definitely gone all out this year! Styling this event after the RL Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade, there are bands, performers, giant floats of various real and fictional characters...pretty much everything is out here! It's an amazing sight, but man, gods help you if you actually need to cross these streets today!
Look to the skies now!
It seems to be right 'round that time of year again.
Magtok's own birthday,
It may be vain, but he's got a parade going on now!
For we need a little Thanksmas
Right this very hour!
Magbots wielding tubas,
Floats higher than towers!
Yes, we need a little Thanksmas
Right this very minute!
It hasn't snowed a single flurry,
But Santa, dear, we're in a hurry;
So turn on your TVs;
Watch as the MagParade marches right on down your street!
Don't try to bomb us;
You can't see, but we've got guards all up in here now!
For I've grown a little leaner,
Grown a little colder,
Grown a little sadder,
Grown a little older,
And I need a little laughter
A day of no more soldiers,
Need a little Thanksmas now!
Yes, we need a little Thanksmas
Right this very hour!
Magbots playing trumpets,
Floats the size of towers!
Yes, we need a little Thanksmas
Right this very minute.
It hasn't snowed a single flurry,
But Santa, dear, we're in a hurry;
So turn on your TVs;
Try not to miss the Starling float; it's hilarious!
Don't try to bomb us;
We may seem weak but we've got snipers up in the boughs.
For we need a little music,
Need a little laughter,
Need a little singing
Ringing through the rafter,
And we need a little snappy
"Happy ever after,"
Need a little Thanksmas now!
Need a little Thanksmas now!

The person behind the door have a higher power level then your average person but more then that Kirlia can't detect as something seem to be blocking her signal.
Yuki on the other hand can detect that the door is enchanted, the magic probably blocking the Saiyans reading. "No." The persons starts and for a moment it seems the conversation is over. "But... what do you mean by strange? People disappear in the sewers every day. Have for a long time."

That should be plenty of time to get everything moved it."Before you criticise someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticise them, you'll be a mile away and you'll have their shoes.
