[Nexus] HALO 177: かわいい猫がいる

[The Bushranger]

[Near the Exit]

And between the armoury and the exit is exactly where Andy happens to find herself, funny that. And, hearing giggling, she looks curiously around...

[Reinholdt]

Near the Exit

Well Andy will see a Tanuki-masked guy in leather and a Kitsune masked girl in leather. They both seem fit and are probably hot under those clothes.

No literally. Those costumes look hot to be in.

[FireFox]

[Murderbuddies]

I didn't have any dreams. Kore lies.


[No Exit]

Kitsune recognizes the other woman and cries out in savage glee. The lights overhead shatter and spark, sending electricity whipping out at Andy.

[The Bushranger]

[Exunt]

Andy shrieks as the lights suddenly explode, and ducks, calling up a defensive spell as she's zappa'd!

And spotting the twosome, she draws her rapier. "En garde!"

[Beans]

[Murderbuddies]
Oh, okay. She stretches, yawning and cricking her neck.
Mmmm, murder adventures are fun!

[Reinholdt]

[Exunt]

"What the hell?!!" Tanuki exclaims, more shocked at Kitsune than Andy was from that last attack it seems.

Tanuki reaches in his jacket. "I got this one, ok? I was nine-time fencing champ back at the castle." Yeeesh.

[The Alexandrian]

[Not The Same Lair Timeline]

BR grins, and takes the time to get dressed before heading out to join Avyri. To adventure!

[BR's Horse Is Amazing!]

As BR completes his perilous journey to the surface world to rendezvous with Avyri, he'll likely spot Avyri leading two saddled and spirited horses, a mare and a stallion (both as white as snow), toward the entrance to the base. She waves at him energetically, ebulliently shouting at him!

"John! Over here!"

Avyri intentionally releases the reins of the stallion, which attempts to trot up to BR and stare at him intently with intelligent eyes as Avyri's remlit bounds up onto Avyri's head from the grassy knoll!

"I found two horses for us! They were just grazing in the pasture over yonder so I asked them if they would be willing to serve as our rides for the day and they emphatically nonverbally agreed to it! Do you have your beamsword 'cause I think that might really come in handy."

It can cut through things and it glows!

[Zefir]

[Hallways]

The giant stone scorpion continues his walk around. He may meet the pikatchus on his way since he aims for that area.

[FireFox]

[Murderbuddies]

Yeah. The young girl nods in agreement, then looks at a clock on the wall. Aww, I have to go home soon.


[No Exit]

The young woman tosses aside her kitsune mask, revealing herself to be none other than Callie Pyrsol. (Gasp! Shock! No!)
Hello cousin. Ignoring Rein, she casts a fireball spell at her oldest foe.

[The Bushranger]

[They're On A Horse]

John grins, giving the horse a pat before climing aboard. "Oh, I think you'll find I'm never disarmed, my dear," he tells Avyri, chuckling and guiding his horse over next to hers to lean over and give her a kiss on the cheek!

[Exit No Exit]

Andy gasps, then dives to the side, her cloak catching on fire from the fireball as she rolls! "Callie, why are you setting me on fire? This time?" she asks, eyes narrowing as she rolls up and casts a grease spell under the twosome's feet! Well, that's where she's aiming, anyway.

[Reinholdt]

[Exit No Exit]

"Yes, Wh-ahh!" Reinholdt slips on the grease, his hand coming out violently, causing the potion of Amnesia he was pulling out to use on Andy to fly out of his hand unexpectedly as he starts falling to the ground.

There's no telling who it will hit. Maybe even him if it gets all the way around to falling back down. Or the random unexpected bystander rounding the corner.

[FireFox]

[Exit, pursued by a bear]

Callie manages to keep her footing by not moving at all when the grease appears. Because you're a smelly, tone-deaf slut! Then the amnesia potion hits her in the back of her head. And... who are you?

[Beans]

[Murderbuddies]

Yeah. The young girl nods in agreement, then looks at a clock on the wall. Aww, I have to go home soon.

She frowns. Aww... well, I hope we can do this again!

Caledonia wonders where she can find one of her friends to hang out with and/or engage in some mutual friendly beating-the-crap-out-of-each-other with.
...
Girl needs a hobby.

[The Bushranger]

[Magazines, perused by a bear]

Andy is about to retort demeaningly, but then blinks in surprise at the sudden shift in demeanor. "...oh, sithspit," she mutters, guessing that the potion might have had something to do with that. "...I'm a friend, and I want to help..."

[Reinholdt]

[Guns, perused by a bear]

"**** **** ****. She's nobody, Callie, ignore her. We need to go."

Reinholdt quickly gets to his feet and floats over to Callie, trying to take her arm, but not before pulling out a potion of youth and tossing it at Andy. This time with some actual aim.

[FireFox]

[Murderbuddies]

You should totally visit me in my divine realm sometime! There's lots of fun stuff to hunt and I'll introduce you to all of my cool new friends!


[The right to bear arms - Wait, did we really just go from Sartre to this?]

You look familiar... Callie hesitantly smiles at Andy, then looks at Tanuki in alarm as he grabs her. Wait, who are you?

[Beans]

[Murderbuddies]
Caledonia nods, grinning. I'd love to! That'll be super cool and also extremely best.

[asdflove]

[At the entrance]
Hi, I'm new here (If you couldn't guess), and I'm making this post, like 10 minutes before I have to leave for the bus, so sorry if it makes no sense.
Lenaia steps off the shuttle, looking around mystified.
"So this is HALO? Heroic Anti-Evil and Lawbreaking Organization. I can see why I would be pointed here, but I don't really know what to do..."
She glances around the area, looking for someone to ask what to do.

[Lady Serpentine]

[Entrance]

Lenaia may notice a woman swathed in a red cloak that completely hides her face, along with a black shirt and a pair of silver-and-crimson pants, both made of silk, that, while close-fitting, don't actually reveal any skin whatsoever, along with a set of gloves...

This is, of course, especially likely when the woman speaks. And waves. But still, there is the possibility she wouldn't, or would before that.

"Need someone to show you the ropes?"

Should Lenaia have some method of detecting alignment, she'll get... unusual... results if she uses it on her greeter, as the woman is surrounded by conflicting auras, one strongly good, the other strongly evil, and is herself neutral.

[asdflove]

[Entrance]

Lenaia smiles at the women. "Please. That would be immeasurably helpful." Her eyes flash breifly, and she looks confused. "Do you know that you're surrounded by an evil aura?"
(She only has detect evil.)

[The Alexandrian]

[Horsing Around!]

Avyri is kissed on the cheek! She grins at BR amorously before issuing a diverting challenge to him in frisky gaiety!

"Awesome! It'll be much, much harder for the forces of evil to successfully ambush us if you're never without a weapon!"

"It might take a couple of hours for us to arrive at our destination, so I have a proposition for you to liven the ride up a little. What say we race while our horses are still fresh? For a prize of some sort!"

[The Bushranger]

[Voting Neigh!]

"You know, I think that's a marvelous idea," John declares, giving Avyri a wink. "And perhaps the prize should be a surprise, hm?" he adds, chuckling as he prepares for the start of the race!

====

[Meanwhile, an Un-bear-able situation]

Andy gets smacked by a potion of youth!

And now looks rather like Raven in that one episode of Teen Titans when she got de-aged. Although less with the gray skin and red eyes and more with the 'I will gnaw on your ankle until you are dead' glare aimed at Tanuki.

[Reinholdt]

Hairy Escape

"I'm your employer and boyfriend. A spell just misfired and we need to get out of here before reinforcements arrive." Tanuki says, trying to lead Callie around the Andy baby and to the Exit before any more interference occurs.

[FireFox]

[Murderbuddies]

Kynegetis Kore waves goodbye, then disappears.


A High Koala-ty Plan

Callie looks rather confused, but allows herself to be lead out of the base.


[Strategy Room]

Samantha Goswell gets a text message from her twin brother. She reads it twice, then calls all Team Captains, plus BR and the acting Intel Director, into the strategy room for a conference.

[The Bushranger]

Chibi!Andy shakes her fist at the departing twosome.
"Next time....!"

***

Later, a detoxed Andy joins BR and the others in heading to the conference.

[Reinholdt]

D'awwww...

Andy should stay like that at the meeting.

Meanwhile, in the pod going back up!
"Are you ok?" Tanuki asks Callie, taking off his mask to reveal smoking hawt Reinholdt.

[FireFox]

Amensia: Light Ascent

Whoa, I've got a super hot boyfriend. Callie blinks. I mean... Yeah, I am. ... Wait, who am I?

[Reinholdt]

Bioshock

"You're Callie Pyrsol. You were hit inadvertently, but the effects are temporary. You should be fine in a couple of hours. We're just going to hunker down in a safe room until then, ok? Just not here. If you'd kindly stay calm, I'll take care of you, all right?"

[FireFox]

Entrance Hall

Samantha is taking command of everyone going on the mission. Theodore is busy checking over all of his sniper/observer and demolitions gear.

Bellatrix is patiently waiting. She's wearing her full paladin armor.

Hector and Pleithar are standing by.

Last call for people interested in a combat mission!


50 Last Dates

Callie closes her eyes and leans into Reinholdt. Mmkay...

[Devixer]

Entrance Hall

Nai has shown up for the combat mission. He doesn't seem to be packing much equipment beyond two revolvers, his holy symbol, and plenty of extra ammo.
