[Nexus] HALO 178: Mia clementia denor esto

[Reinholdt]

"Civvy? Civvy!" Reina hisses out to apparently no one in particular. Did she just get thrown into a breadmaking village? Perhaps trapped here for all eternity, doomed to make bread for their cruel and insatiable pink master. She knew better than to trust that devious fiend!

Lacking anything else to do, she moves out towards the street to look around for someone or something to tell her where she might be.

Well, out in the/looking into street from the safety of the alleyway there are several things visible! There's the bakery, a flower shop, a place that sells clothing, somewhere that sells furniture, and the town square is off to the left about 12ish meters!

It's still fairly quiet, besides a few random passersby that are walking along in groups of two or three, happily talking.

[Reinholdt]

Hmmm. Reina tries crossing over to the flower shop to see if it's open and head in if it is.

[Mee]

"Heeey! Welcome!" The man behind the counter says, smiling warmly.
"I don't recognize you!" He exclaims in surprise, eyes wide, "doubly welcome! For you, as it's your first time here, everything is half off! Take a look around."

The smell of fresh flowers is almost strong enough to overpower the bread. The two smells mesh together absolutely amazingly, however.

[Reinholdt]

Dang that smell is incredible. Nearly intoxicating, but it should be OK, so long as none of... that turns up.

"Uhhh, thanks. I'm kinda lost. Where am I?" She asks as she goes around looking at flowers and occasionally picking out a few.

"That's okay," he says, laughing slightly, "everyone is. It's rather disconcerting. You'll get used to it quickly enough.

That, though, you have a good eye! That rose," pink, of course, "was bred by the Lady herself. Well. Not that exact one, but she got the breed started."

[Reinholdt]

"Wait, you're lost too? The Lady?" Reina looks confused, but it's exactly what she feared!

...
The flower is pretty though, so she'll still take it. Maybe fasten this one to her hair. Would she look better with a flower in her hair or just ridiculous since it's currently pink? Hmmm...

"Mmmno? Did you not die in the service of Civ~"

With that, the thus-far nameless man is interrupted by a slight, adorable, and fairly pink sounding cough from the front door.
In walks Civvy! Resplendent in her full getup.
The man kneels towards Civvy, to which she makes some fairly adorable 'nrrrgnostoooop' hand waving gesture/noise at him.
He ignores her.

After realizing that he's just going to stay there, Civvy sighs slightly, shakes her head, a smile on her face, and says, "I see you wasted no time looking around.

Welcome to"
[Civvy's Domain]

With that, though, her player goes to bed.
G'night.

[Reinholdt]

Civvy's Domain

Reina points at Civvy with only one question coming through out of dozens.
"... How did you do that bold thing in your speech? That was really dramatic." Reina needs to learn that.

Oh wait new question. "So you're also a goddess?" Reina swears Tobias just likes having god kids so he can show off. He'll turn into Chronos one day though.

Only one thing to do now. Reina kneels as well!

[Kitchen]

"I'm fine," Thariza says to Cecila, despite proof to the contrary. "I should... stay out of the sight of any officers for a while, though," she says, but sits down heavily on the nearest chair.

Kitchen

The now non-vamped bunny Faunus gives her a quizzical look.
You sure? Hello miss.

"Perhaps, although perhaps what you really need is more sleep?" Patty suggests, sounding rather concerned.

===

[Pool]

It is indeed held; Tsuna grins when they're done, snuggling closer.

"You're sweet," Erin declares with a giggle.

[Beans]

[Pool]
Tsuna giggles. I know, aren't I? You are too though.

Thariza rubs her muzzle.

"Maybe? I don't know. I... guess I'll try doing that."

She gets up, picks up the half-finished bottle and tries to leave the kitchen, dragging her tail along the ground behind her.

"No. Nonono. Noooononono.
I can't stop him," Civvy says, with an adorable fake glare at the flower-guy. He doesn't notice, and even if he did, he'd just grin and keep kneeling. Apparently worshipers take her jokes in stride when they get here, unlike their usual super srs not-dead selves.

Anyway.
"But don't you get started doing that, please. Get upppp."

[Reinholdt]

Civvy's Domain

"Not until you tell me why you're called my Lady and have your own domain then! My Lady." Reina says, totally grinning herself and still kneeling.

But only for a little while. She's teasing, but she doesn't want to be mean about it.

Civvy's Domain

"Well, the first is basically for the obvious reason that I'm sure you're already thinking. Especially this guy doesn't feel he can use my name, so he just uses that." At the utterance of 'this guy', Civvy mock-glares at him again.
"And the domain is here because it just . . . comes with the territory, you know?"

[Reinholdt]

Civvy's Domain

"So you are a goddess then. Of.... the colour pink?" Reina stands and heads to check out. Because flowers.

"Hope, actually.

I just quite like pink." Civvy admits, shrugging slightly.

[Reinholdt]

"... Hope? As in... hope hope?" That's clarifying Reina.

I guess she purchases flowers even if it means leaving money on the counter. Then heads over to the entrance by Civvy.

"Mmmhmm." Civvy says with a nod, and, after Reina pays for the flowers, she walks them into the street!
It's still fairly quiet.

[Reinholdt]

"So the people here are the ones who die with hope in their heart or something? Seems kinda empty for that." Reina asks, looking around. Maybe most people are hopeless after all.

[Mee]

"Nah. These would be the people that have died actively . . . well, worshiping me directly." Civvy dislikes saying that, though. Sounds . . . entire too self-pompous.

[Reinholdt]

"Like... religious followers? This is their heaven?" There's a hint of something on Reina's voice. Hard to place though.

"I am the anthropomorphic personification of shadows. And before you ask, no, I'm not evil. Shadows are neither good nor evil in and of themselves. As to my powers, I can shadow-walk - that is, teleport between shadows - extend my perceptions through shadows and I have access to a dimension of my own. I'm pretty much immune to most conventional weapons. I'm also quite accomplished with runes.

I wish to fight evil because I've seen what it can do. I think I mentioned wanting to retrieve most of my essence? It's trapped in a dead universe. All life was wiped out by evil. I was the sole survivor, and I lost most of myself. What was left - what you see standing in front of you - was blasted into this world.

[Office]

All right. Tobias makes a note of something on his desk. HALO is currently organized into three types of active duty teams and a broad "Support" category. The three types of active duty teams are Strike, Patrol, and Intel. Strike Teams are sent out on direct action missions against bad guys. Patrol Teams are tasked with keeping the peace in sections of the Nexus and rapidly responding to any emergencies in that area. Intel teams gather actionable intelligence on the forces of evil at work in the Nexus. Do any of these interest you?

"A strike team would be my first choice. I have a lot of experience in precision-strike insertions, both in team member and leader roles."

Tsuna giggles. I know, aren't I? You are too though.

"Aw, thanks."
And Erin moves in for another kiss...

[Kitchen]

Thariza rubs her muzzle.

"Maybe? I don't know. I... guess I'll try doing that."

She gets up, picks up the half-finished bottle and tries to leave the kitchen, dragging her tail along the ground behind her.

Patty looks concerned, but won't stop her...
"If there's anything you need to talk about, I'm here," she offers.

[Beans]

[Pool]
Tsuna is just as eager to continue the kissing, nestled against her new friend's warmth in the pool. This is the opposite of getting yelled at and it is so nice.

[Mee]

"Like... religious followers? This is their heaven?" There's a hint of something on Reina's voice. Hard to place though.

"In a sense, yeah." Civvy says, nodding once. "Actually, in most all ways of thinking of that, yeah. This is that."

[Reinholdt]

"So... wherever these people were going, once they devoted themselves to you, they got redirected to here, huh?" This topic seems to intrigue Reina a lot.

"Pretty much." Civvy said after thinking a bit. She felt that there was something else to say about it, but really, Reina summed it up well.

[Reinholdt]

"How'd they do this? I mean, I haven't seen very many Curch of Civvy's around." Reina inquires.
