[Nexus] HALO 175: Insert Witty Comment Here

[Mee]

"Oh, cool. I could use someone like that," Gelley says. Between her and the others, their subtle factor was lacking immensely. "Could you point me in his direction?"

"Oh, yeah, he should be over in his room." Civvy says, and then promptly follows that statement with some directions.
Her player would actually give directions, but doesn't honestly know where Sammy's room is, so we'll just go with this, shall we?

[Murkus]

Not like there's a map of the base you can reference. Gelley takes her handy directions and nods graciously. "Thanks! Y'know, I think I promised to get you out more, last time we talked. We should do something." She bears her teeth in a smile that could light up the room. "See ya!"

That done, unless Civvy's got more to say, Gelley will head over to Samuel's room and peek inside.

[FireFox]

Carrie watches the couple have fun, giggling softly.

Callie slips out from behind the corner, trotting over to the wolf-eared girl with her usual enthusiasm.
Hi, I'm Callie, except there's another Callie so I'm Caledonia! What's your name?

Lykaina. Her grey tail sways back and forth, not happily wagging like a dog, but because she's the type of person who can't keep still when she's nervous.

Civvy snrks slightly at that, and doesn't bother gracing it with a response.
"So is there anything I can do for you two?"

Perhaps you could take her on a tour of your home? Ah, I see she's already making a friend! He flashes Caledonia a quick grin.

Gelley finds Samael laying on the bed of his empty room and staring up at the ceiling. He quickly becomes aware of her presence and sits up to look back at her. He has short silver hair and light green eyes. He's wearing a white dress shirt with the sleeves rolled up and a green tie loosely knotted. Looks like this, all credit to Siena.
Can I help you?

[Murkus]

"You're uh, Samael, right? I didn't get Civvy's directions wrong?" Gel opens the door just a bit wider, and Samael should be able to see how strangely she's dressed. "I was told you might like a position on the team I'm building! Tobias said so."

[Beans]

Caledonia grins back at Canignis before returning her attention to the wolfgirl.
Cool! I like your ears and stuff, they're like mine but more... differenter.
That's a word.

[FireFox]

I am Samael for now, but not for much longer I should think. He takes a moment to look her costume over. And old King Foxface is never wrong... what sort of team is this?


My father is the God of Wolves. Pride replaces uncertainty in her voice. You must be related to that honorless Fox who ravaged my homeland.

[Beans]

Hey, Grandpa Tobias is not honorless. Sometimes kind of underhanded, but not honorless.
Her ears lower as she frowns a bit.

[Murkus]

"A strike force. We'll be helping out around Inside, when people need someone to protect them," DB explains, propping those tiny fists on her bare hips. "And whatever your name's gonna be, you can call me Divebomb."

[Lady Serpentine]

[Observation (with Caledonia)]

Polly seems quite intrigued by the fish, hovering slightly above the floor somehow as she watches them.

*Pokes Beans*

Callie bounces, jealous of the hovering, as she points out her favorite kinds of fish and octopi and stuff.

Polly goes to take her hand as they watch, which, unless she's somehow resistant to weird vampire powers, will cause the foxgirl to hover as well.

[FireFox]

The wolfgirl silently disagrees. She's seen the villages of civilians reduced to ash and rubble. She's wept over mass graves of noncombatants. But she just inclines her head. I will not judge you for the actions of your family, just as I wish you will not judge me for the actions of mine.


What kind of codename is "Divebomb"? He stands up, giving her a curious look.

[Mee]

Perhaps you could take her on a tour of your home? Ah, I see she's already making a friend! He flashes Caledonia a quick grin.

"Of course.

Whenever she's done being sociable, that is." Civvy says, grinning at them both a bit.

[Murkus]

"It's not a codename! It's my super-identity," Gel says, glancing off to the side. It's hard to tell behind her visor, of course. Saying that just sounds so silly out loud. "It's a working title, anyway..."

[Beans]

Callie grins at Civvy, then turns back to the wolfgirl with a smile.
Works for me! I dunno about your family, all I know is you have a cool axe and cool ears and a cool name, sooo yeah.
---
Callie giggles, wiggling in the air as she points out that one awesome fish she thinks is a great guy.

[FireFox]

The silver-haired man blinks. Okay, so what's a "super-identity"?


Lykaina stares at Callie, clearly unsure what to make of her, then turns to Civvy. I would be grateful if you could show me around, Civiron.

"Of course. It'd be my pleasure.

Unless, of course," Civvy says, turning to look at Callie again, "you would like the honor of showing our new guest around?"

[Beans]

Can I?! I'd love to!
The... eccentric foxgirl (who is probably a goddess of hotbloodedness or something) grins, reaching for Lykaina's hand.
C'mon, I have all the things to show you!

[Lady Serpentine]

Callie giggles, wiggling in the air as she points out that one awesome fish she thinks is a great guy.

"I take it you know him, then?", she inquires, laughing slightly. "What's he like?"

[McBish]

"Not that I've seen, alas. Our friendly neighbourhood Time Lord is in another castle." Andy giggles. "Hey, need any help with those?"

"I'm fine, I will just catch a cab once I get back up to the surface."

She looks down at the bags, she should be able to handle them fine enough, just tired of standing with them.

"Just some gear John is lending me for a camping trip."

[The Bushranger]

Dani might tug down a brief curtain with Sam. Or at least a partial one.

===

"Oooh, the Camping Trip." Andy grins, and wriggles her fingers spookily as she makes a Vague Oricular Prediction. "Friendships will be forged, monsters slain, and trout defined."

...or she might just be pulling Angie's leg...

[McBish]

"I'm sure the camping trip didn't make the record books... wait did you say define trout? I think they are already defined."

Angie looks a bit confused as she tries to figure out what Andy could possibly mean by defining fish. She doesn't seem to put to much faith in any sort of prediction.

[Beans]

"I take it you know him, then?", she inquires, laughing slightly. "What's he like?"

He's all cool an' stuff, doesn't really care what people think... at least, if I'm reading fish body language correctly.

[Lady Serpentine]

He's all cool an' stuff, doesn't really care what people think... at least, if I'm reading fish body language correctly.

Polly giggles again, smiling at her.

"Where'd you learn fish body language, then?"

[The Bushranger]

"You've never met a Definition Trout?" Andy asks, grinning cheekily. Yup. Legpulling.
Well, except for the existiance of Definition Trout.

[Beans]

Polly giggles again, smiling at her.

"Where'd you learn fish body language, then?"

Watching fish, of course!
I do a lot of that, or at least I did, 'cause Mom told me I need more tranquility in my life. This is in the timeline after I'm born, 'course... aaand yeah, I sort of learned it that way.

[Lady Serpentine]

"You've never met a Definition Trout?" Andy asks, grinning cheekily. Yup. Legpulling.
Well, except for the existiance of Definition Trout.

Would that be a more pedantic version of the Salmon of Wisdom?

Watching fish, of course!

Polly laughs, going to hug her, rather baffled by the time stuff, but not caring too much.

[McBish]

"You've never met a Definition Trout?" Andy asks, grinning cheekily. Yup. Legpulling.
Well, except for the existiance of Definition Trout.

"I think I remember Destro using trout a lot, was that something he had?

Angie gives a little shrug. Legpulling will often lead to weird truths in the Nexus.

[Beans]

[Observation]
Callie giggles, hugging back. Being silly is so easy, so fun.

[The Bushranger]

Definition Trout swim in the air in the rafters of Trog's, occasionally descending to define something. Alas, they're not seen much these days; Destro was the primary architect of them.

*shakes fist at Kids These Days from rocking chair*

"They kinda liked him, yeah. I wonder what became of the old Trout Lich?" Andy asks, curious. "I never actually got to meet him."
