[Nexus] Dancing Fox Inn VII: Our Waitstaff Can Be In Three Places At Once

[FireFox]

Tesera speaks up, proving she's not completely catatonic. Five children were sacrificed before we could stop them.

[Deathkeeper]

Mist shrugs. I'm no less serious than Naku, and I've only seen her leave once.
Then he comes along, although he's likely to leave again if they get into personal subjects. He doesn't like to pry.

[Reinholdt]

"A bit. I didn't think I'd see you again." It gives Rein undesired false hope and he doesn't like it.

" You seem to have changed. Who's your friend?" Reinholdt asks, looking towards Mist.

[Mee]

Tesera speaks up, proving she's not completely catatonic. Five children were sacrificed before we could stop them.

Naku sighs and shakes her head.
"That's always rough. Especially the children. Did you at least stop what they were trying to accomplish?"

[FireFox]

Yes. We prevented the ritual from being completed.
Dirk finishes the DLB and wipes his mouth on his sleeve. A child-sacrificing cult in the heart of Vulpania. What a mess.

[McBish]

Amelia lets out a low sad sounding whistle at the mention of children being sacrificed. At least she didn't have that on her list of problems at the moment. She takes a large drink of wine.

[Recaiden]

"I didn't think I'd be back." False hope? Why not real hope? Anchor herself is just excited.
"But I'm glad to see you again." She nods quickly.
"Well, time has passed. But you mean I'm solid! Some people helped me get my solidity back. Well, got it back for me."

She turns to introduce the one following. "This is Mist. He works here, and is helping me with gravity. Mist, this is Reinholdt, Treasure Hunter. Is that still your title?" 'Reinholdt' is said as in The Reinholdt, of course you know him already.

[Deathkeeper]

Well, Mist has, but mostly because he's been here for a while, has come here before, and made a comment about his animal aspect earlier. Still, Mist gives a friendly wave. Hiya.

[Reinholdt]

False hope that other people might crawl out of deadtime.
"Treasure Hunter Extraordinaire." Reinholdt gives his flourish as he adds that last bit.

"A pleasure to meet you Mist."

Reinholdt slowly reaches out to... poke Anchor. "That's incredible. So things have changed for you then, right?" There was something about a one year curse or some such, yes? I might be misremembering.

[Recaiden]

Oh. Well, poor him. So many are gone forever.

"Extraordinaire, of course."

Anchor is poked, and jumps slightly. She feels totally solid. Literally, anyway. Relative to other people she's fairly soft. She tries to grab Reinholdt's hand playfully.

"Very much. It was pretty recent. 'M still adjusting to it."

It was longer than a year, but yes, it got broken. Just took off most of her natural lifespan.

[Deathkeeper]

Don't worry. I'm sure you'll be able to drop by without falling on your face soon. If not I can set up a couch in the corner. mist says with a smile.

[Reinholdt]

"Still getting use to walking?". Reinholdt asks with a raised eyebrow. He didn't blame her. Two legs is hard.

Hand grab success!

[Recaiden]

Anchor nods and looks down at the table.
"Gravity is difficult."

"We don't all get as much practice with it. It's really different to floating and you're always about to fall when you move."

[Deathkeeper]

Well, on the plus side most people learn how to do it within their first four years, or whatever's proportional, so I'm sure someone a lot smarter than a toddler will figure it out in a lot less time.
Well, it's somewhat encouraging.

[Mee]

Yes. We prevented the ritual from being completed.
Dirk finishes the DLB and wipes his mouth on his sleeve. A child-sacrificing cult in the heart of Vulpania. What a mess.

"So at least some good came of it." Naku didn't say this in a rubbing in that they failed way, but more of a 'you can't stop everything, but it's always worth trying' manner.

If that makes any sense.

[Reinholdt]

"I've heard something like gravity is always falling all the time and we're really just directing how we land. Think of it like that!" That might be less helpful than the toddler idea.

[FireFox]

Tesera tries to change the subject. What news do you have, Naku?

[Recaiden]

Well, on the plus side most people learn how to do it within their first four years, or whatever's proportional, so I'm sure someone a lot smarter than a toddler will figure it out in a lot less time.
Well, it's somewhat encouraging.

"I guess that's not too bad." Four years is quite a long time.

"I've heard something like gravity is always falling all the time and we're really just directing how we land. Think of it like that!" That might be less helpful than the toddler idea.

"Wait! You mean it never gets any better?" Anchor sighs. "Oh well."

[Deathkeeper]

Mist laughs.
Well, if you're really desperate maybe we can chip in to buy you some anti-gravity boots.

[Reinholdt]

Rein giggles a little. "Do they sell anti-gravity boots around here?"

[Mee]

Tesera tries to change the subject. What news do you have, Naku?

"Not too much. Went on a date, had it crashed by people deciding to kidnap me, see if they could extract my blood to find a way to become vampires, and then slit my wrist when I wasn't exactly cooperative." Naku informs them, shrugging slightly.

[Recaiden]

"It's not funny!" Anchor protests, but the fact that she's laughing kind of gives that away.

"I'm sure. They sell everything here in the nexus. But I think I need to learn myself. If I really need balance I probably don't need to be solid."

[Deathkeeper]

You'll do great, trust me. Mist offers his best supportive smile.

[Reinholdt]

"The best advice I can give you on learning on how to walk is to be forced to run away a lot. You'll learn faster than you thought possible." Nod nod.

[Recaiden]

"Thank you Mist."

Anchor nods about the running. "Is that how you learned, then? There's probably lots to run from while treasure hunting.

[Deathkeeper]

Well, you know the saying of walking before you can run, but who needs precedents? he jokes.

[Hattish Thing]

Marty shakes off dead time goo and speaks. Wait?! Child sacrificing what?! Huh?!

[Reinholdt]

"Pretty much..." >>
It's not his fault people/traps/monsters like trying to murder him!
Oh no wait, it is his fault.
Carry on.

[Recaiden]

"That's just because kids legs are too small to run. I should be able to start, right?"

"Now i just need things to run from."

Anchor glances over at Marty, remembers thy said something about Vulpania, and looks away.

[Deathkeeper]

If you want I can give you my best rabid fox impression.
