"Oh, yes. Much better. Fully human, no thirst for the blood of the living, no serious sunlight allergies, I'm even training to be a priest. Not of Inari; I'm from Riverside, joining my parent's faith." Which is a far darker religion, as she fidgets with her one black glove.

Kitnick smiles happily, the black glove meaning absolutely nothing to him at all.
That's great! And it's always good to follow the family business: keeps you closer and gives more things in common. I have a sister who went into tailoring, and I must admit that I get lost in all the stitches and patterns and darts and hems... but I'm sure I can natter on about lentils until people get quite tired.
Do you have any hobbies?
[Hospital]
The green-robed healer nods
Your injuries are healed: I see no reason that you would need to stay. But that is only one of two votes...
he bows and heads off, and the mind-healer in pale green robes that compliment his fur nicely turns to her.
Well, Su is cleared to go: now let's check on you, lovely Miss Jinkei.
And he gently places a paw on her head and begins to probe her mind, looking for problems or other issues...

It's not as though Romeo knew any of that, but he does realize the awkwardness. Clearing his throat he tries to change a subject. "Are Tamamo and Inari part of larger pantheons? My own home was once polytheistic hundreds of years ago with gods with specific spheres of influence and things, but tides changed and they began worshipping the First Lord, who's more all encompassing."

Jinkei nods and closes her eyes in an attempt to focus as the mind-healer probes her mind.
He can see that her mind is mostly intact... apart from retrograde amnesia, memories she has that won't return, as evidenced by holes in her memories: whole events, faces, meeting people, though she still remembers the names... a bit. If he probes deeper into her subconscious, he'll see that on some level, she'd be better served not remembering some of the memories.
As for future memories, she suffers from short-term memory loss, meaning she'll periodically forget things she learnt about just 15-30 minutes ago. Trying to remember puts a strain on her mind.
She still has lessons she subconsciously remembers, though. Like, 'be celibate and stick to one lover', or 'never set foot in The Roost'.
Apart from these, she's okay!Last edited by Cyber Punk; 2015-07-17 at 02:35 AM.

Steven smiles.
"Well, since they have followers on multiple worlds, it would be more accurate to say that they are part of multiple pantheons. I don't know if Inari has a world all to herself. For the most part her followers aren't supposed to know about the others, but the Nexus breaks rules since it is outside everything. I had to pretend I was from the home world of the doc who gave me my fifth rank exam, quite embarrassing, really." he admits.Spako Highclaws by Ceika.

Magic, of course. Priests can use magic to comfort and heal. Your little friend should be all ready to get back into action.

[Hospital]
The sand-fox sighs
Well... I would have liked to see things fixed up a little better. There are memories that were lost, and they will stay that way: no amount of healing is going to reverse that.
But there still seems to be a lingering issue with your brain converting short term memories to long term... it doesn't seem to be physical, or the healing magic should have fixed it, nor yet properly mental or my psionics should have resolved it. We may need to request some assistance from one of the higher ranking priests such as Caroline or Steven or Helen...
He looks thoughtful
I will release you to the care of your father, but I strongly recommend that you do not leave the Temple for the next month or until this ongoing memory issue is resolved.

"Oh, my parents weren't priests. They worshipped, but they chose a different routes of advancement. Father was a business-owner, owning a bakery, general store, funeral parlour and a small brothel, whilst Mother was content so long as she had plenty of money and Father ignored her affairs. Which he did, so she would ignore his. Both dead now; killed by my vampiric sire. She used my mother's skin for a bit, until she was slain." Her parents didn't really get on, but they felt they needed each other. Her father needed her contacts with various shady organisations, whilst she needed the money to sustain the lifestyle she felt she deserved.Terrowin Avatar by HappyTurtle. Much thanks!

I have a cousin who runs a bakery!
He says that like it makes Emily practically related. But otherwise: so many words he doesn't recognize. Part though, makes sense...
The vampire killed your parents? I thought the stories our cousins tell about the elves were bad, but that's just terrible. I'm so sorry to hear that... and so you've been alone ever since?

"He didn't run the bakery- he owned it. So long as it put more money in his pocket than he paid on wages and ingredients, he didn't care about it. Same for the other businesses, except the brothel. That one he paid most of his attention on. No, I've not been alone. Whilst I was a vampire, I lived in Exbourne Manor, with a load of other vampires of a different type. They gave me the rubber skin, and provided me with blood and stuff. And since I became human again, I've been staying at the Temple with the other clerics-in-training." Though it isn't very nice in the Temple quarters for trainees, as Bane is the Lord of Tyranny and competition for advancement is fierce. There's no luxuries, and only the base necessities supplied. As the trainees advance their knowledge and skill, they gain prestige and luxuries. It also keeps away those that just want an easy ride to power.Terrowin Avatar by HappyTurtle. Much thanks!

Money... Atorre has been teaching them about money, but it still seems strange. "Owning" a business that you don't actually run seems even stranger. And there's that word "brothel" again... but something in the way she says it makes him uncomfortable.
I don't... ok...
And I understand that: the priests usually stay at the temple here, too. That's why I'm here: I came to help some of our folks who came to stay here get a proper garden established so they can have food they're used to. Home is just too far away to really bring food here regularly.
The he grins
And of course, I had to stay for the party!

It must all be a little strange, though as I don't follow the thread I had no idea Kitnick was from a barter economy. Good thing tax wasn't mentioned; Emily's dad was very much against taxes.
"Oh? Where is your home, then?" She didn't know there was anywhere in the Nexus that couldn't be easily accessed from Inside due to the Riftline.Terrowin Avatar by HappyTurtle. Much thanks!

Well, Emily couldn't possibly know the details, so it's fair for you to not know them either
Kitnick smiles
Well, I got here by magic, so I'll have to tell you what Nai told us:
Home is a city nestled in a mountain valley on the other side of the Sea of Sand from here. From a place called "Research Towers" in a city called "Skyside", you have to fly two thousand eight hundred ninety six miles at a heading of one hundred four degrees.
I don't really understand exactly what that means. Oh, and you need something called "clearance" if you're going to do that, because they're very protective of us and they put machines out in the desert to help keep us safe. But they're nice, and I'm sure it isn't hard to get.
We used to live outside of the city, because there was a curse. But Nai broke it, and so now we live there.

"It sounds very far away indeed. I've never heard of a sea of sand. Is it like, a very big desert, or a literal sea made of sand with tides and fish and things?" Because in the Nexus, one is as likely as the other.Terrowin Avatar by HappyTurtle. Much thanks!

Re: Foxside: The Temple of Inari 53 - The New Fluffy Overlords
[Attempting to Walk Through the Temple to the Hospital]
She's not disguised! No, disguises would only make her more conspicuous! She is, however, dressed in something slightly more appropriate for this setting - blue jeans, sneakers, and a lovely striped sweater (One with a collar - turtleneck! That's the kind!). She's lugging around a small, green, gift wrapped box and a runed .45 Magnum (just in case).
To people who aren't very familiar with the temple and its occupants, she might blend in...kinda. Her tail is that of a fox and she's human-ish, so there's that. Regrettably (for the purposes of this mission), that's where the similarities end.
Oh, and she's also a magical powerhouse.
... Yep, there's probably no way Nicole could possiblysneakinconspicuously walk through the entrance of the temple to the hospital. Maybe if she pretends that she's busy, no one will bother her! *Repeatedly glances at timepiece.*

A really huge desert. Though I guess at least some of it might slowly change back to something else now that the curse is broken. We haven't really noticed much yet, so it'll probably take a long time.

Yes... you can go.
[Attempting to Walk Through the Temple to the Hospital]
It's easy enough to get to the hospital without entering the sanctuary, so once telling the guards at the street entrance "I'm on my way to the hospital", all Nicole experiences are some friendly nods and well-wishes on her way there.

Jinkei can't get up fast enough. If allowed, she'll try her best and darnedest to disconnect all wires and injectors from her body, then squee loudly.
If not, then she'll just squee loudly.

That was surprisingly easy. Nicole didn't even have to relinquish her firearm to gain access to the hospital.
Next time a high-ranking member of VIGIL/WATCH is maimed, Nicole hopes said member is carted off to this facility for treatment.
As it stands, Nicole's sole objective at this facility is to deliver a package to Jinkei. Needing no directions to Jinkei's room in the hospital, Nicole, assuming all goes well, knocks thrice on Jinkei's door (whether or not it is wide open or ajar).

I believe he went home last night. Visiting hours start after morning discharges: no sense cluttering up the place with visitors for people who are on their way...
Speaking of visitors...
Knock! Knock! Knock!

"Heavens, no. You pay respects to the other gods when they are relevant but unless one shows up that doesn't really happen. It's odd enough that I learn the tenets of two goddesses, and that's only because Tamamo is a subordinate of Inari's. Normally you would not have two faiths in the same dedicated temple like this."

"Wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff."
Nicole dismissively answers and shrugs as she confidently steps into the room in spite of the healer's polite objection.
"For you, it's morning. For me, it's half-past twelve. If I waste thirty minutes twiddling my thumbs in the lobby, I'll have to work late today, and that won't transpire on my watch."
Nicole attempts to slip past the healer and hand Jinkei a present!
"You probably don't remember me, but I'm the handler of other-you - the slightly psychotic you who dreams of enslaving everyone excluding yours truly. She wasn't as mad as a hatter originally, but being banished to another plane of existence for two or three centuries will do that to you - speaking of which, you might want to be a little more careful 'bout who you roll with since the Nexus appears to be morbidly fond of tormenting you and all that."

At four foot three inches, the sand fox isn't exactly imposing. And he's somewhat timid, and doesn't really know any reason that he should be stopping Nicole, so when she complains about time here and time there and time elsewhere, his ears fold down and he just leaves quietly - after all, he did just sign the discharge for Jinkei, so it's not like visiting hours really apply anymore, right?Last edited by Fenric; 2015-07-20 at 02:34 PM.

Jinkei gets up and gets ready to greet Nicole, when she starts yammering about another version of her who is psychotic.
"I used to think that, but then I realized it all depends on how you react... who are you, again?" She looks down at the present in her hand and her ears perk up, her head tilting a bit to the right. "Uhh... thank you?"
She curtsies to Nicole, then picks up her glasses from the bedside table and wears them. "Also, what other me?"
She doesn't remember. Is it a good thing or a bad thing? That's yet to be seen!
