[Nexus] HALO 175: Insert Witty Comment Here

[Beans]

My characters are around; Nirva, in particular, is sparring with Caledonia in the training room. The latter seems to be on the winning end of the session for now, keeping the white-eared catgirl on the defensive.

[McBish]

Angie hugs John back taking the plans and tucking them away with the camping gear. "Thanks, I'll stop by again before I go on the trip. And feel free to swing by and visit me, my office will be able to tell you where I am anytime."

She picks up the packs and heads towards the exit, though she could easily run into anyone on the way out.

[Mee]

Samael's attention drifts away for a moment, then comes back to Civvy. How have you been?

"Pretty much all right. Just paperwork." Civvy admits with another shrug.
"So how about you? What are you gonna do now that you're free?"

[Devixer]

Nai glances at Gel for a moment, looking at her visor with eyes he doesn't have. "You wish for me to hunt alongside you? I suppose there is little reason not to."

[FireFox]

Kyne is looking for Carrie, if she's around.


I don't know... Haven't given it much thought.

[Mee]

I don't know... Haven't given it much thought.

"Well, what you should do; is keep getting me presents.

Speaking of, did you bring me anything from your last job? Momentous occasion and all."

[Murkus]

Nai glances at Gel for a moment, looking at her visor with eyes he doesn't have. "You wish for me to hunt alongside you? I suppose there is little reason not to."

Gel's mouth turns up in a big, endearing grin. "Awesome!" The first member of her superhero strike team! "So what can you do?"

[Beans]

Carrie can be found in the library, curled up with a book on... drain magic. Well huh....
If Kyne comes, she looks up and smiles at her, toying with a lock of hair.

[FireFox]

What did you think the absinthe was? But he grins, because he did get her something and he's still going to tease her first.


The Aspect perches on the chair's arm, looking at Carrie's hair, then off into the distance. Hey.

[Devixer]

"I fight with magic granted to me by my Patron, and with my revolver." Nai's not much of a superhero. Doesn't even have a cool name.

[Murkus]

"Sweeet. I haven't gotten to see much magic yet," Gel says, trying to give Nai a good pat on the back. With that, she turns toward Grant, who is presumably still in the doorway. "How about you? Wanna join my team?"

[Beans]

Carrie reaches up to brush her friend's forearm softly, smiling up at her.
How're you, dear?

The pages she's turned to in the book are about draining spells in the form of traps; these ones are simple, but it seems like the book contains more complex ones.

[Lady Serpentine]

My characters are around; Nirva, in particular, is sparring with Caledonia in the training room. The latter seems to be on the winning end of the session for now, keeping the white-eared catgirl on the defensive.

Tirya could enter, should that be desirable? Otherwise she's elsewhere in the base, and could be run into by anyone.

[FireFox]

Tired. You? She continues staring into space, but leans into the winged goddess.

[Mee]

What did you think the absinthe was? But he grins, because he did get her something and he's still going to tease her first.

Civvy blinks a few times.
"I thought it was an alcohol."
The truth comes out!

[Devixer]

Nai steps back so that Gel cannot pat his back. He's got a thing with personal space, and letting living people touch him.

[Beans]

Tired. You? She continues staring into space, but leans into the winged goddess.

Carrie puts an arm around her gently, snuggling closer.
Mmm, not much... though now that I've got you here...
She pulls a box from behind her wing with a smile.
I hope you like it.

Inside the box is a bone dagger; the serrated blade is polished and honed to needle sharpness, as well as having been etched with runes pigmented (appropriately enough) in blood.

[FireFox]

All right, come on. Samael stands up and starts walking to his room.


Kyne opens the box and looks at the dagger. Oh! I love it. She smiles, because she really does like it, but it's obvious that she's trying to figure out why Carrie gave her such a nice gift and if she was supposed to give her one in return or if she now owes Carrie and argh this social stuff is hard!

[Mee]

All right, come on. Samael stands up and starts walking to his room.

"O-. . . . kay." Civvy says, following him with her tea.
Teaaaa.

[Beans]

Carrie holds her close, giggling.
Oooh, great!
She grins, looking very happy that the redhead likes her gift. It's so nice to know I picked the right thing for you.

[FireFox]

The silver-haired man's room is identical to the infinite number of unused bedrooms in HALO, except for the large container on his bed.


Carefully holding the dagger so it doesn't cut either of them, the assassin wraps an arm around her friend's shoulders and plants a kiss on the corner of her mouth. But, um, why? Is there a holiday I missed?

[Mee]

The silver-haired man's room is identical to the infinite number of unused bedrooms in HALO, except for the large container on his bed.

"Your room is boring."
Civvy admits, looking around.

[Beans]

Carrie kisses back with a warm smile, snuggling closer.
Well, kinda, depending on whether you celebrate Thanksmas, Decemberween, even weird ones like Kweeznuz.

[Lady Serpentine]

*Pokes Beans*

[FireFox]

I haven't really moved in yet. Samael sits on the bed, reaches into the container, and pulls out a pink kitten with a forked tail. The guy's notes called it a "Nekomata", but I think it's just a magic cat which wasn't anybody's familiar yet.


Oh. I need to get you something, then. The box and dagger get tucked away in hammerspace and Kyne prepares to get off the chair. But if Carrie holds on to her, she certainly won't resist.

[Beans]

Tirya could enter, should that be desirable? Otherwise she's elsewhere in the base, and could be run into by anyone.

((Whoops I am Captain Blindypants))
Callie and Nirva see her; the former gives an excited wave with a free hand while the other gives a brief nod.
Hi Tiri! I'm just kicking some kitty butt, what's up?
---
Carrie does hold her close, giggling.
That's very sweet of you, Kyne... and you don't need to go anywhere to find what I want.

[Mee]

I haven't really moved in yet. Samael sits on the bed, reaches into the container, and pulls out a pink kitten with a forked tail. The guy's notes called it a "Nekomata", but I think it's just a magic cat which wasn't anybody's familiar yet.

The face Civvy makes could be described as a surprised, pure, blissful joy.
Or the physical embodiment of 'ER MAH GERD IT'S SO ADORABLE I'MA DIE'.

Whichever way you prefer.



Civvy, in one amazingly fast burst of motion that even Samael should appreciate, jumps for, and yoinks, the adorable li'l fuzzball.

It sounds like she's cooing at it.

[FireFox]

The Aspect raises an eyebrow and straddles Carrie's lap, leaning in to kiss her again. I don't know what you're talking about.


Samael grins and sits back to watch the adorableness.

[Mee]

Samael grins and sits back to watch the adorableness.

"Iiiiiiii'ma hug it, an' squeeze it, an' name it," At that, Civvy pauses for a moment to hold up the mewing creature in the most undignified manner possible.
"him," she corrects herself, "Master Whiskerkun Bartholmeow Fluffykin the LXIX." She names him, lowering him back down into a cradling position.

[FireFox]

I'm glad you like it. He continues to grin happily.
