    Fayyaad lets her undo the buttons, as he reaches up and tries to pull her into his lap and remove her own shirt. The curtain is probably waiting to fall on the whole thing.

    Last place I was guarding though, oh boy let me tell you, had some nasty strong people invade it. Some kind of ranger and paladin. Had me on the ropes. Only way I got out was by them thinking they banished me with a dispel. Pa-lease! Still though, it sucked.
    "Thanks, but the Tavern already has guardians...in theory, anyway. Anyone who has a fortress they need covered in an endless hurricane probably doesn't come around for drinks too often, you know? Sounds pretty isolating. Nobody can just drop by with that kind of weather."
    The bartender raises an eyebrow.
    "So, take care of most home invaders with ease, you mean."

    Anyone not on the red-list at least. Well, think of me as a back up in case someone's laying the smackdown on you. You're low on steam, and your ready to cast that Word of Recall spell you've been preparing, you call my name, and in theory I should take care of the already battered pro, and/or an, tagonists invading your home. In my line of work though, I'm mostly up against the Protagonist. Nothing personal, though. I'm just doing my job. Joe Bob clarifies.

    Yeah, probably. Cassandra leans on Fayyaad slightly to keep her balance as she straddles him, pulling the curtain down with her.

    Fayyaad pulls the curtain with vigour, and his... experience in the Nexus has clearly increased his skill as well. He'll keep it down for as long as Cassandra wants.

    J says to the server "No thanks, I had something already" and then looks at Geneva.

    "Regular teleporters work fine. Provided they're to and from somewhere inside the whole general mish-mash." Geneva nods at the 'walking' question. "It has to do with the fact that this place is less a place and more many places mashed together. I'm only speculating at this point, but... The various universes that... I don't know... collided to create the Nexus in the first place? They're still easily accessible. You can walk to them. Things just gradually get less jumbled until you're somewhere coherent. Others can only be reached via bridges, whether they're permanent or transient. My work has thus far focused on stabilizing transient bridges. That's quite a bit easier than forging a completely new one."

    She waves off the offer of food and drink, "No thank you, I'm fine."

    Then she scrunches her nose a bit at the telephone comment.

    "Ah, hehe... Mine is kind of hard to take off..."

    She holds out her left hand, displaying the sleek looking bit of tech attached to a sleeve around her forearm.

    It can probably be taken off-

    Okay, that stupid tower was one place, I have a successful track record. Well, three successes, but that's out of four. There was the Tower for three millennia, the castle for eight, the cave for two, and the other tower for nine.

    Joe Bob counts on his fingers for the number of millennia he's been to each place when he talks about them.

How about you, any interesting symbols used in your hometown, or are you an Inside resident, or an immigrant for whom Nexus is all new and strange?"

    The reptile man has no other way to proove her gender so he goes on. Worst case he had a nice chat.
    His clothes are rather neutral. No special signs or anything, he could have bought that outfit anywhere.

    "No Symbols, uneless you count in the local trends like bands, games or style." he says. "I'm from the nexus, a small town with people like me. Thought most are either more like reptiles or have less scaled skin."

    "So what brings you to Trog's? Not the drinks if I may guess.

    "No, not a pilot. A shapeshifter, with a much smaller winged form. It doesn't take much alcohol to get a bird drunk." Although I'm pretty sure drunkenness is something primates developed to better digest partially decayed fruit, and birds don't get drunk at all. But then, Jack isn't actually a bird, nor is she human. "Oh, I know that feeling. Everyone in the Clattering fits into a handful of old caravans we found a couple generations back.

These two seem to have things well in hand, and please don't question me on that any further either." The Meddler has stood, making it clear that her end of this business is concluded.

    "Libra, if you wish to deal without involving pawns, I'm sure you know where to find me. Ambrosia, if you want to contact me or any of my underlings, make sure mention is made in more appropriate circumstances. My superiors may find this amusing, but they are vast and unknowable and this has gone beyond being worth both my time and theirs. Au revoir." Despite her words, the Meddler doesn't vanish immediately, just remains standing for a moment. She has to give everyone their fair time to rebut her rather abrupt departure, after all.

    Libra raises her eyebrows as Steve offers up his weapon, but while he seems to have caught her interest, she thought process is seemingly interrupted when Luvon suddenly starts casting a spell in her direction, something that immediately draws her attention. This spell is something that she immediately appears to be able to identify, unfortunately.

    "What?! How dare you!" She accuses, her expression contorted into a scowl. "I'm outta' here! Good luck with the curse, morons!" Libra gives Luvon and Steve a rude gesture before she disappears in a puff of black smoke. She is gone so quickly that she didn't even bothered replying to the meddler, probably since she knew that the spell had a one minute casting time.

    Ambrosia for her part has a impassive expression, just frowning slightly as Libra gestures at them and disappears. She turns back to the meddler and bows her head again. "I understand perfectly, may we meet again under more pleasant circumstances, lady spirit." She says, offering the Meddler a small smile.

    "Oh, huh!" Leslie stares at the wrist-communicator for probably longer than is necessary. "Well, ah, would you mind calling my phone for me? Just to see if it goes to voicemail or anything?"

    Leslie thanks the server and starts sipping away at her berry juice. It's different from the the vaguely artificial syrup-infused version that she's used to, but not by much.

    "Ah, you'll probably need the country code and everything... It would be 0x16-13-35-C9-A7-*cough*"

    Leslie raises a finger as she tries to clear some juice from her throat. "*cough* Sorry, must've gone down the wrong... Ahem!"

    She repeats her weird hexadecimal phone number in its entirety.

    Geneva is pretty accustomed to people staring at her assets.

    ...what?

    Her tech!

    She has lots of really neat looking tech!

    People stare at it all the time.

    "Sure, I can do that for you," Geneva replies, smiling pleasantly.

    ...

    She doesn't actually type anything into her wrist computer. She just sub-vocalizes the commands in question and the device takes the needed steps. Because it's a pretty keen bit of tech!

    When the coughing starts, Geneva looks concerned. Especially since her new acquaintance's speech just got a little... greener? "Are you sure you're okay?" she asks as Leslie's phone likely begins ringing.

    Luvon stands up and flips (currently her) chair over, sparing the table for the fact that other people are sitting at it. "Can anyone remove the curse besides Libra? This curse can't be unbreakable."
    "Sons of Gondor! Of Rohan! My brothers! I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me! A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship. But it is not this day. An hour of wolves and shattered shields when the age of Men comes crashing down! But it is not this day! This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good Earth, I bid you stand! Men of the West!" -Aragorn, Lord of the Rings

    Sam looks worried at Leslie. "Just wave your hands if you need a Heimlich. They teach us to do that at restaurants." he says with a small joke. This conversation is quite odd.

    "Huh?" Leslie sniffs and clears her throat one more time, but if anything she sounds a bit more relaxed now that she's less dehydrated. "I think I'm okay. Sorry, I think I just drank too fast."

    After a long moment trying to connect, Geneva's communicator gets the standard, 'ringing on the other end,' sound.

    "Milk tastes weird too."

    "Does it? Oh! Right! Should have thought of that, I mean who knows what kinds of animals they get it from here."

    Somewhere very far away, a pair of panicking grad students toss a vibrating handheld back and forth, debating whether to answer.

    "I like it."

    "Oh, okay, cool."

    Geneva probably put her wrist thing on speaker, so everyone can hear when it goes to voicemail.

    "Ah, hello, this is Leslie... ah, Pipaluk. Leave a message, and I'll, ah, call you back..."

    "AH!" Leslie winces. "Crud! Ah, hang it up, I guess..."

    The man shrugs.
    "Well. They migth drink it. After all we drink alcohole we don't need."
    "It sounds complicated." he says. "Do you have a limit in one of your forms like you can only stay 4 Hours a day in jackdaw form or such?"

    "That's a fair point. And this is mighty fine lemonade, so maybe they would drink it." But it's blood orange that is the traditional recourse of vegetarian vampires. With the second bit, about a limit on her shapeshifting, she looks a little confused. "Uh, no? No more than I have a limit on how long I can stay in this shape. Why would that be a thing? Each shape, or any mismatched form in between, is my natural form." So there's no limits or anything on how long she stays in a shape, because she's as much human as jackdaw.

    J just stares at Leslie while the aforementioned conversation is going on, and then finally says:

    "Okay. I can't tell what just happened. All I can get is that your phone number is in hexadecimal for some reason, and then your speech pattern just sort of... changed. What's a Pipaluk?"
    The Greatest Threads Of GiantITP (in my opinion):
    A story of the exact wrong way to run a campaign.
    The best thread derailment of all time.

    A ridiculous campaign.

    "It's my last name! I mean my, ah, fake last name..."

    "And fake voice, and fake saying, 'ah,' all the time," Changeling adds.

    "Ahah! Ah, yeah... I might just be stuck like that for a while, I guess." Leslie nervously adjusts her glasses. "So, the call got through! Kind of? What would make that possible?"
