[Nexus] OOC 42: The thread at the drain of the multiverse

[Murkus]

I gotta poke some folks. Baron and Bushranger, you're up in Trogs. SC, I posted in NO and Riverside for your dudes (or dudettes, as the case happens to be).

[Shadowcaller]

I know Murkus, sorry for not posting before but I had to go shopping after catching up with the old threads.

[Murkus]

No need to apologize! I just wanna post, and I decided to make sure people hadn't forgotten. If you were busy, you were busy.

I was not telling you what your characters should think. I wouldn't have minded some sort of even vague reasoning as to where he got the idea otherwise.



My apologies then. They were apparently passive aggressive attacks on your personage that I truly did not intend.

That said, the fact you feel there's even room for such a thing shows your guilt. I've tried playing with you DC, but that's proven unfun. So then I tried avoiding you, but you've gone out of your way, so far as to even meta'ing into involvement. Now that I look back it makes sense. DC not around for years, then suddenly jumps into Riverside plot without even the most reasonable of reasons to call Darcy? DC contacting Magtok a second time right after the first as soon as I post my vaguely ominous post about threads and 'The End'?

You're absolutely right DC. You have bullied me and gone out of your way to attack me. You make things unfun for me and have made my characters near unplayable with your actions. And then you have the gall to paint yourself as the victim.

Well I'm done. I do not want to deal with you anymore, ever.

I was holding off on announcing this, but I'm leaving the Nexus. Have been planning to for a while now, for reasons related to time and size and RL and all sorts of other important things but this clenches it. I had been trying to build up into a more epilogue state, getting rid of all Rein's stuff at an auction, finishing off scenes with people, what have you. But I think I'd prefer to just make a clean break here and now. It's the only way I'll ever get it done.

Good Bye.

And this is why I don't come to OoC anymore. Too much heat.

Goodbye Reinholdt. I already miss you.

[Hallways of the Undead Cows, apparently]

Kharin sighs.

"Really? Cows?"

He steps forward and, as the stampede reaches him, will start hacking at everything that moves, reducing all the cows to mince if everything goes to plan.

Assuming they're just regular cows. Which they probably aren't.

The cows aren't stampeding. They're just kind of standing there, and maybe hopping around and shapeshifting according to the video.

Of course if Kharin still intends to hack them all up, that's your decision, but if he's only doing it because they are stampeding, then he, um, shouldn't.

[Ashen Lilies]

Bandwagon jumping time!

The 'current characters' file on my desktop lists 17 characters, 3 of whom haven't been introduced just yet, but who I totally plan on bringing in (but probably won't).

That's not counting the dozen or so I've deadtimed, some after very, very short lives.

[Tris]

So far, I've only got 1!

[Terumitsu]

As a note: Pardon my lack of activity the past days or so but I've been focused on various things seeing how the end of the semester is coming up next week. I'll try to spit out a few posts as time goes on, however.

[Morty]

*pokes Kris to Watchtower*

[Earl of Purple]

Deadtime now. Goodnight, sleep tight and don't let the Ouroborous bite. Assuming, of course, that it lets go of its tail. Otherwise, don't worry.

[Morcleon]

*pokes Bushranger to Below the TV Tower*

*pokes Felandria to Nexus High*

[Lady Serpentine]

Setsy, weren't we planning on having Cerise and Scythe meet some of my people?

[Beans]

Beans explodes into the thread like a runaway train with 12 gigs of RAM. His mouth opens and out comes a torrent of cherry Twizzlers like some sort of dragon licensed by the Hershey's corporation.

"I HAVE RETURNED TO BEING A PERSON WHO IS HERE, MORESO THAN I PREVIOUSLY WAS WHEN I WAS NOT CAPABLE OF USING MY LAPTOP COMPUTER. IN WHAT PLACES IS MY PRESENCE REQUIRED?"

He then unhinged his jaw and devoured a thousand onion rings, but only after having changed from present tense to past tense.

Can I sig this? It's awesome!

[Murkus]

Arright, well I know he's super busy, but I'm gonna gently nudge Ghar anyway to see if he wants to post.

Nudge nudge.

[Morcleon]

Mhmm... but you never responded to my latest PM. *pouts*

[Gullara]

Nudge nudge.

*flails at*

I should be able to post tomorrow and over the weekend. No finals actually on those days and the assignment flood has receded. I'll have more free time.

Elwood can no longer hold himself up and no longer seems to be fighting the canine leukemia now that he was able to see snow for the final time. My parents just took him from the house on the way to the vet to be put to sleep. I got to say my final goodbyes with him at least by sitting in the falling snow with him for a good half hour, but that doesn't make this any easier for me and my family.

And, edit time.

@Wolfbane: sorry to hear that. I know how it feels; I've had the same experience of losing a family pet.

You have my sympathy and sorrow. I've lost pets before.

[Lord Magtok]

I've done the best I can for them, right now. This is not the best place to fully cure any of them. I need a more secure place for the quarantine.

Anyone want forty-something sick NPCs, two sick elf PCs, and a smurf? Can't think of anywhere Magtok could send the ex-slaves for quarantining, but he'd probably be willing to pass them off to GLoG or something.

It can't be that hard to find someone with a pressing need for test subjects.

...Why is everyone looking at me like that?



Also! *+1 Hugs for Wolfy*

Angie has a hospital and apartments. She would be willing to take them in till they are healthy and even afterwards if they want.

[ImpSyndrome]

@FireFox: Zefir and I are still waiting on you in GLoG's infirmary.

@GrandDM: I know you told me you have limited availability on Wednesdays, but as a reminder, Ryan and I both posted on the last page of the previous Outside thread, so it's your turn again for Dungeon of Kharuzar.

@Mad Hatter: It's your turn again in Trog's. My most recent post had two different scenes, so in case you missed it, you can find it by clicking here; the part with Leo and Alabaster is on the second part of that post.

As I may have mentioned with previous pokes, please let me know if anything is preventing you from responding.

Once more, with feeling.

It bothers me that this has gone without response for two days now...especially after I've seen at least two of these people posting in other areas, including this same thread. Please respond.

[Murkus]

Imp I know I, for one, don't always check the OOC. You may want to bother them more directly with PMs if they don't notice the first time.

Wolfbane, I'm so sorry. I wish there were some way to make it better.

[Deathkeeper]

Hey Arkhosia? Could you start using links to your characters/concepts more often when you toss them into public places? I've played Halo, and I don't even understand which armor you're referencing, and it doesn't get any easier when all you go by is the character name, which I have trouble keeping apart.

To be fair, that armor doesn't actually appear in any of the HALO games, having been specially designed as a cheaper alternative to the MJOLNIR line for the Spartan-III project.

Since it's so obscure, though, you're right that it should be either linked or actually described.



EDIT: On a side note, I am laughing so hard right now at the spoilered posts below, because I'm in a bad mood and the schadenfreude's actually pretty funny.

In my Neverending quest to make a profit, I was recruited by slavers to solve a rampant zombie infestation in their apparently enormous slave place. I obviously can't slay the zombies on my own, and I wanted to ask you to help me.

[Kirk's Office]

Kirk raises an eyebrow at Xenna. He takes a moment before he replies, folding his hands on the desk in front of him. "Xenna, do you know where you are right now?"

The Neutralist Organization. The area inside, no.

Okay!
SPI armor isn't actually unlockable in halo.

Sorry for not being around at the moment, I've been caught up in a ridiculous amount of work. Should be back after tomorrow.

Deadtime now. Goodnight, sleep tight and don't let the Nian bite.

Also, Arkhosia, if you want your Spartan chap to learn magic, I'd be willing to introduce a chap to teach him Sorcery. WARNING: The Sorcery in question is completely, utterly and irredeemably evil and may be incompatible with other, more mainstream branches of magic used by other characters on account of the way my personal magic system works using contradictory rules, laws and theories of magic and its use, making its different branches incompatible with other branches of the same magic.
