Re: Tunnel Spooktober 2017
Kendra looks to Cassandra and smiles, offering her hand as Electra makes her way over.
"Nice to meet you, Cassandra." She glances back at Fayyaad when he mentions he's only a license holder, then grins at the sorceress. "I guess that means you outrank him, eh?" She winks at Cassandra, then turns as Electra comes up.
"It would seem so, Fayyaad. Hello, Kendra, you're looking well." Electra looks between Fayyaad and Kendra, then to Cassandra. "Hey, Cassandra. I suppose a little background wouldn't hurt, since it seems Kendra's introduced herself. Kendra and I worked for the Maverick Hunters back home, and our squads often worked together during wartime. They provided air cover, while we tended more towards the force recon sorts of duties."
Kendra nods, chuckling. "Yes, indeed. Electra and her siblings often bailed our butts out when we ventured a little too far behind enemy lines, and we flew interference when they needed it. It worked well, and command liked how effective we were."
Electra nods once and gestures towards Cassandra. "Cassandra here is a sorceress, and I'm sure Fayyaad's probably already told you he's an adventurer for hire."
Kendra eyes the sorceress, and nods respectfully. "I see. An interesting business to be in around here, I'm sure. And yes, I'm well aware. Fayyaad and I seem to have met before, though it took him pointing it out for me to recognize him."Why is it Plan A is always, "Get 'Em!" and Plan B is, "Cause as much collateral damage as possible"?

Re: Tunnel Spooktober 2017
She smiles. "Hi puppy. I'm Jaazha. What's your name?" She giggles and tries to pat the wolf on the head.
"But daddy, I want to play with the puppies." Orlane complains and pouts.
"Just walk up nicely. Don't run. Okay?"
Orlane bites her lip and then nods. Then she walks over to Jaazha and the wolf to pet him.

Re: Tunnel Spooktober 2017
Fairy & Alien
"A magic fairy princess. And I can prove it, too." Natalie smiles, and will reach over to Rosabel's ear, tugging it gently before pulling her hand back. Only, this time her hand is holding a chocolate coin, which certainly wasn't there before she pulled Rosabel's ear. "See? Magic." Natalie will hand over the foil-clad treat, too. It's only fair, since she's pretending she pulled it from Rosa's ear. Although... I don't know how Natalie's stage-magic works, and she isn't wearing long sleeves, deepening the mystery of where she really got it from.
Jack & The Guy
"Might be because of where you've wandered to. This place is a crossroads, I guess. The original realm, if there was such a thing, has been flooded by things that have fallen in, drifted off, or been deliberately pulled into it. And it doesn't always like letting go of anything that finds its way here." Because I favour the 'Nexus is a universe in its own right, where things unwanted elsewhere collect' theory of Nexus. "Here, something weird happens every five minutes. Especially in Inside, which is... Hmm. The oldest dimensional shard making up the Nexus, or the mystic heart of the Nexus, or an ever-changing city built across all the worlds that make up the Nexus, or the lowest part of the multiverse where everything eventually falls. Or all of those things at once. Depends on who you ask. I like the 'mystic heart' idea, personally." Jack herself eventually 'fell' to Inside, after she left the Clattering. She wanted to see it, but didn't know where to find it, but found it anyway.Terrowin Avatar by HappyTurtle. Much thanks!

Re: Tunnel Spooktober 2017
The pup is patted on the head and prances in place a little. He's very excited to finally meet a two-leg pup. Orlane will be approached by the other pup, encouraged by the girls' coming forward. She sniffs at the tiefling eagerly. The larger wolf pads around the assembly, before approaching the girls' father. She seems to acknowledge him in a way.

Re: Tunnel Spooktober 2017
Strictly speaking, all interpretations of the Nexus are accurate. Though PCs are certainly free to disagree!
"That was sorta the impression I've been getting," that guy replies with a nod. "Or at least that's what the ranting hobo with a crown told me. No reason not to believe him."
Why would he believe...
You know what?
It doesn't matter much.
"This all has a very Unknown Kadath sort of feel to it. Only difference being, I actually found the city. Quite by accident, really," the guy continues. "Though there are far fewer weird squid-marmosets. Which I'm honestly pretty happy about. Zoogs are pretty bizarre."
That they are!
"Though if this place doesn't like letting people go, that might make waking up tricky..." he hums. "Or maybe not tricky. I might just be stuck here every time waking world me wakes up. Which... I guess isn't the worst thing?"Warning! Random Encounter™ detected!

Re: Tunnel Spooktober 2017
[Fairy & Alien]
Rosabel's eyes widen and she takes the coin. She looks it over, as if trying to figure out what happened. "How'd you do that?" She cracks open the foil and nibbles on the chocolate inside. She looks at Natalie's hands, but she can't seem to find anything.
The two girls are very enthusiastic about the puppies. They will receive a lot of pats and stritches!
Val eyes the larger wolf a bit more warily. He's gotten a lot more used to animals being with Astrana, but he's not quite as at ease as the rest of his family is. "So do you want to be pet too, hm?"

Re: Tunnel Spooktober 2017
Fairy & Alien
"Fairy magic, of course. Unless you happen to keep chocolate coins in your ears?" One day, somebody will say that they do keep chocolate coins in their ears, and Natalie will be left feeling a little awkward as a result. "Would you like to see some more?" The two fairies accompanying Natalie would, and nod their heads eagerly... Though they're behind her, so she can't see them.
Hagdaw & Guy
"Unknown Kadath is, alas, unknown to me. Which... Might be the point?" Jack's not sure. It's hard to tell with anything with 'unknown' in its name. "Well, sleeping for me and the others usually seems to work normally, so I guess that waking up might not be a problem?" Or maybe the Guy's waking body is in a coma. "I'm sure there's Zoogs somewhere, though. There's most things if you look hard enough, I know that much."Terrowin Avatar by HappyTurtle. Much thanks!

Re: Tunnel Spooktober 2017
"Indeed. Dipsnig, Dena and Kirk. I've only met Dena, myself," Fayyaad confirms. "An old comrade in arms, then. Just paying a social call, or are you here for a purpose?" Despite Kendra's friendliness, Fayyaad isn't relaxed. She was involved in business that had a few unknowns too many.

Re: Tunnel Spooktober 2017
Kendra chuckles slightly, giving Cassandra an amused grin.
"I see. Well, that makes things simpler for you, then." Kendra looks to Fayyaad and gives a mischievous smile, which seems to put Electra on edge, as she stiffens ever so slightly, though her expression doesn't change. "Why not both? Though the business end of things is more precautionary than anything else. I'm not expecting trouble, and I did want to visit Electra tonight." Electra chuckles, relaxing. Obviously, there's some sort of history there.
"I appreciate the thought, Kendra, though I'm not sure how much visiting we're going to be able to do; I did volunteer to provide music, after all," Electra says in an amused manner. "Feel free to stick around, though, maybe after the party we can chat for awhile." She looks to Cassandra and Fayyaad. "I hope you're both enjoying the music so far. Any requests before I go back up?"Why is it Plan A is always, "Get 'Em!" and Plan B is, "Cause as much collateral damage as possible"?

Re: Tunnel Spooktober 2017
"As much as I've enjoyed it, I don't seem to have much of an ear for music," says Cassandra, shaking her head. Of course, that's not how it looked, earlier, and even as she says it a moment of brief confusion and uncertainty seems to pass across her face. "I'm sure what you were going to play anyway will be just as good."

Re: Tunnel Spooktober 2017
"Something quiet and atmospheric, maybe," Fayyaad suggests, looking between Kendra and Electra. Those two have a history, and it seems Electra isn't very pleased to see Kendra. "But I've also loved it so far, so I'm sure whatever you pick will be great."

Alien Fairy
"There's nothing in this hand, top or bottom, yes?" Natalie proffers her hand and rotates it so Rosabel gets a good look. When she's said 'yes', Natalie grins and closes her hand into a fist, opening it to reveal a brightly coloured red-and-yellow striped bead. "Huh. Where'd that come from?" Natalie's more amused than confused, and the befuddlement is faked. The two real fairies are drifting closer, too. They want to watch the show as well, as this kind of sleight of hand is unknown to fairies with real (albeit quite minor) magic.Terrowin Avatar by HappyTurtle. Much thanks!

Re: Tunnel Spooktober 2017
"He saw that picture in a book and decided he wants to dress like that. His dad's a hunter." Iknika's ears twitch. She's not sure what to make of Pathfinder and the other Wolfen. Brinika's aunt has always been weird. "I've been thinking about a beetle. Goblins tame and ride those. But learning how is tricky."

Re: Tunnel Spooktober 2017
((I'll post for Sam in a bit if Hal doesn't get to it tonight))
Iknika might notice a certain spectacled blond having come, thinking that it's exactly the sort of place he might find her.
Also because she might have mentioned going to last year's party.
Isaac's wearing a bright red shirt with white lines on it with a cape, and has augmented his bangs with two extensions that stick up in a V. Certainly not hard to spot, given that he's mildly tall.Spako Highclaws by Ceika.

Re: Tunnel Spooktober 2017
Electra smiles gently, pleased that both Fayyaad and Cassandra have been enjoying the music, and nods at Fayyaad.
"I think I've an idea that you might like."
Kendra opens her mouth to make a comment, but is shushed quickly with one of Electra's fingers over her lips as she turns towards her old friend.
"I know what you want me to play, but it's not appropriate for a party with children." Kendra looks startled for a moment, before smiling at Electra, and giving a little chuckle, backing up a step.
"Actually, I was going to ask you to play something with a bit of a slower beat to it." She glances at Cassandra for a moment, then at Fayyaad, before looking back to Electra, who's got an eyebrow raised in curiosity. "Something folks can dance to. The Hounds, maybe?"
Electra seems to consider it for a moment, then nods.
"I suppose that can be arranged. I wasn't sure if I was going to sing tonight, but I suppose I don't have much choice now." She smiles once more, that smile of enjoyment. Fayyaad knows she likes to sing; the reluctance is an act on her part, a bit of teasing. "Well then, I should get started."
With that, she turns and heads back up, picking up her guitar and strapping it on. The bots finish their last loop of the fill music she'd been having them play while she was gone while she pulls a mic stand over from one side of the stage and sets it up, but doesn't say anything more. Rather, she closes her eyes, and begins to play softly. The song could probably be played more aggressively, but she's taking a soft, slow, almost haunting approach to it, with no distortion or effects, and the band behind her does very little to fill, other than the drummer providing a few rhythm hits now and then, and the bassist chiming in with notes where a bit of bass helps round the song out. It's a rather long song, too, but she plays it with her eyes closed the entire time, bobbing her head in time, oblivious once more to everyone and everything, at least, for the time being.Last edited by Nova_Eclipse; 2017-10-31 at 09:26 PM.

Re: Tunnel Spooktober 2017
Fayyaad waves to Electra as she departs, then looks between Kendra and Cassandra. He'd like to know more about Electra and Kendra's past, but this isn't the time and place for that. Instead, he turns to Cassandra, bows and reaches out with his hand.

Re: Tunnel Spooktober 2017
Isaac sees that Iknika is talking to someone, and will wait around for Iknika to stop by while he takes a few minutes to stuff himself full of candy, having not been cured by Civvy just yet of his magically-induced sweet tooth.

"Sure you can. Here." Natalie will go to drop the bead into Rosabel's hand, only it seems the bead has disappeared... Much to Natalie's hand-maids' befuddlement. "Oh, um. Where'd it go? Oh, here it is!" Natalie then opens her mouth and seems to pull it free, though the bead is dry if Rosabel still wants to handle it.Terrowin Avatar by HappyTurtle. Much thanks!

Re: Tunnel Spooktober 2017
Now another MERC member makes his appereance. He is obviously late, but that got a reason. He had to get one of those costums people wear during this event.
People might not recognize him first. instead of his raged clothes and jeans he got a very fine suit with cape. The inside of the cape is reed while most of the suit is black. even his hair is stlyed back and a fine cloth covers his mouth instead of the scarf he normaly wears. in addition to his costum he carries a stone offin on his back. Some might think the coffin is fake due to the way Fade carries it, but it is a real one.
He heads over to the sweets and grabs one, but sadly the package appears more complicated then he thoughts and brute force doesn't help right now.Grammer is my declared deadly enemy!

The strike might not have its intended effect, as at the loud noise Sam immediately spins around, shielding Sherrel with his back with arms protectively over her shoulders and face.
Of course, he has nothing to worry about as the shards pelt his back harmlessly. But the bag of cookies on Sherrel's lap is now even more well-guarded, albeit accidentally.Spako Highclaws by Ceika.

"Okay, thanks. Bye!" Felandria may notice that Iknika's face gains a darker shade of grey as she scurries off. "Hi Isaac! I like your cape."
