Aran sighs, long and hard.
"Yeah. How about we get your bed set up and then I can go pass out. You can sleep whenever you want." he suggests. Moving the bed shouldn't be too hard, especially if Ursagridd is a strong as one would expect a magical bear spirit to be.

Spako blinks.
"You can...do that? Just dig up gems? I don't remember hearing about any deposits around here..." Well they are part metal. Who can say what their abilities are?Spako Highclaws by Ceika.

Aran's Condo
Ursagridd is quite strong, which certainly helps moving the bed. He'll sleep when Aran does, since that's easier, though he has no pyjamas, and sleeps in his birthday suit.Terrowin Avatar by HappyTurtle. Much thanks!

Fel's House
You can go right back to sulking after breakfast, Violet.
"Good, good. How about- oh. Ready already?"
Neverest relinquishes the sufficiently stirred gravy and heads to the table, adjusting her scarves and masks and waiting politely for Felandria.
Once the meal earnestly begins, she carefully bites off little bits of the steak with her pointy lizard teeth. Steak knife? What for?

"Uh, well, there's sort of techniques to it? A-and then there's a refinement process and you need some skill with gem cutting but, uh, you can also just sell them as raw material if you don't want to work them into something hoard-worthy yourself?"

"Well, we'll give it a try. And if we don't find anything in an hour or two we'll do something else. But we have to try for now." Gems? For free? Sign him up!

Re: Home 24: A house in this market?
The robot manages to dodge one blast, but it gets clipped in the side by a second. This sends it spinning to the side a bit, stumbling slightly as internal components start shutting down. It will try to keep kicking at the foxes, but it's balance is very much off.
That's okay, though, because a blast of fire flies out of the door, aimed at the closest fox thing. This is quickly followed by a shout from Ravanys.
Gettin' tired of these things!

Re: Home 24: A house in this market?
Nora's Suite
"Oh, I wouldn't be too sure about that, Fayyaad." Nora points out with a bit of a smile before removing the towel around her head. Her horns had moved more forward and have lengthened, sweeping back across the top of her head. There's a slight ridge on the top side of each and she reaches up to run her fingers over them. "Definitely not draconic, though there's some influence there I suppose. Going to take some getting used to in order to care for my hair properly beneath them, but they're much better than the little nubs I had were. I could probably hang off of the rafters with these if I had to."
Despite the joking nature of Gustav's suggestion, Nora pauses, frowning as she considers it. "...I don't know what would happen, actually. I've yet to try it. It is certainly something to keep in mind, but you're right in that I don't really mind this happening. After almost two decades of being stuck in the same ol' same ol', this sort of new stuff is a welcome change. Before any of that though, i believe I promised breakfast." She adds with a cheeky grin.
Nora and Fettina's Apartment Building
Nora declined to explain about the outfit on the ride over, but in the elevator up she gives a sigh. "I'll stop by my place and grab my things. Get showered, freshened up, and then we need to head to the rooftops. The sort of mojo I'm going to be bringing to bear is not something you'll want to do inside. There's, uh, going to be a bit too much radiation. But don't worry about it since there'll be plenty of magic I'll be using to shield you. I figure Intersection might come knocking though."Last edited by UncleWolf; 2019-02-10 at 04:02 PM.

Fayyaad looks up at Nora's head, his eyes having been previously focused rather lower than that.
"I would... advise against it, actually. Take it from someone who's had them since childhood. Either way, I certainly wouldn't mind seeing what would happen after another night like that. In the interest of scholarship and advancement of knowledge, of course," he says solemnly. "And right now, a breakfast sounds perfect."My FFRP characters. Avatar by Ashen Lilies.

"Very interesting. You're certainly full of surprises, Nora." Gustav remarks, his tail slowly swishing back and forth, making it rather apparent that he finds this quite exciting. It's not every day you meet someone like this. "But breakfast does sound wonderful right about now."

Re: Home 24: A house in this market?
[Ravanys' House]
The closest fox at this precise moment, would be the one running circles around the robot! The one that still sort-of-kind-of-if-you-squint-hard looks a little like a fox.
Although now it looks like a flaming ball of screaming tentacles, which is probably an even worse visual change than what the other two are currently adopting.
The other two...who are actually booking it off into the darkness instead of continuing to deal with all this fiery nonsense that has clearly not worked out for them so far.
Or they have some other coy little plan.
But it certainly looks like they're just running away at the moment."Fear and creativity are conjoined twins."

Ravanys sends another blast of fire after the two running away, a bit of a grin on her face. Seems she likes letting loose like this.
Then she glances over to Sardus. Hey buddy. You doing okay?

[Ternview Apartments]
Somewhat reeling from the fey magics coursing through her system, Anulhi stumbles softly over towards the kitchen table, fuzzy thanksmas socks building friction as she all but drags her feet along, fighting back a horrified stupor, her thoughts not quite her own.
Anxiously, she wrings her hands as she sits down, adjusting the small succulent plant in a vase atop the table as a way of calming herself.
"This is... a lot to take in."

Re: Home 24: A house in this market?
Now that Violet is breakfasting, Reginald extricates himself and scurries onto Fel’s shoulder.
As she eats, Fel cuts off a piece of steak and feeds it to Reginald, who noms it happily and nuzzles Fel’s face.
Not every day.
Sometimes I make pancakes and bacon, or sometimes just a nice bowl of cereal.
How about you, Neverest, enjoying it?

Re: Home 24: A house in this market?

Sardus for his part doesn't answer.
Mostly because he doesn't have any way of hearing right now since he's a big ball of rock-hard scales and plates with a churning mass of flesh inside that's trying to repair itself.
It'll take him a good ten to fifteen minutes to get himself fixed.
And he's going to be worrying the whole time that maybe he didn't protect his friends well enough.
But eventually?
Eventually those scales part and Sardus sticks his head out.
"H-Hannah? Ravanys? Are you guys okay?" he'll ask, his voice a little shaky. He continues unwinding himself, quickly pulling back into his proper shape. That mutation goop really did a number on him. He's pretty sure he has all his parts back in the right place.Warning! Random Encounter™ detected!

Re: Home 24: A house in this market?

Ravanys will go to put a reassuring hand on what she guesses is Sardus' shoulder.
Yeah, we're fine. Sardus might notice that the tiefling's shirt is gone now, showing a sports bra underneath. She's also holding a shotgun in her hand. Otherwise, she looks fine.
Around them is a broken drone, two working ones hovering in the air, and a damaged, half-built robot and looks kind of like a robo-Hannah, but without arms or a head.
Hannah's in her room, brought out the drone for support. She glances at the robot. And whatever that's supposed to be. She turns her gaze in the direction that the foxes ran. Those things took off pretty quick after I killed a couple.
Any idea what they were?

Re: Home 24: A house in this market?

Sardus does his best to smile.
His face is actually pretty expressive. Normally you don't think of dragons or deer as critters with much in the way of expression, but Sardus seems to manage.
"Oh, I'm glad. I was really worried they might have hurt you while I was... umm... putting myself back together," he says a bit glumly, but perks up shortly there after. "It's a good thing mom made me out of stern stuff. I think I took the worst of it. They would have come after you instead."
At the second question he glances toward the door.
"Those were some of the pod-people mom is worried about. Or... umm... pod foxes?"
Do foxes count as people?
A memory somewhere informs him that some foxes count as people.
"They might come back. I know how their gross goop and blasty things work now, though, so I think I'll be able to take a hit much better than I did the first time," he says. "Hopefully mom will be able to stop them for good."
[Jace's Place]
Khannie is sneaking.
Because it's late. Or maybe early.
Does four AM count as early or late?
She honestly isn't sure. But she IS sure that she's dead tired. Her first night of patrolling as Ghost had been WAY more eventful than she had planned. Things had gone... mostly well? She did some real heroics, that's for sure. She saved those scientists! Probably. And that guy who was getting mugged, too. And she had met another hero!
And got gross giant cockroach guts all over her suit. That had washed off.
Thank Arceus for whatever weird super advanced fabric that thing is made of.
Khannie slips into the shed first and hides her gear under some empty pots at the back. Surely no one will look there.
Then?
Then she's going to sneak back to the window at her room. She had left it open.
Just a crack.
Just enough to reach her fingers under and caaaaaarefully easy it open. Slowly the window rises. Quietly she hoists herself up through the window. Oh so stealthfully she slides it back down.Last edited by Rebonack; 2019-02-19 at 01:22 AM.

Aw. Violet says as Reginald scurries off, but she's stopped from any further complaining by the food. Neverest gets a weird look for how she eats, and - in between mouthfuls - she addresses her. Hell yeah he's friggin' enjoying it, never heard of cutlery? Violet is definitely making more of a mess with her knife and fork than Neverest is without.Avatar by Me!

Khannie’s plan was perfect. Flawless. And she might have gotten away with it too, if it wasn’t for that meddling-
BARK BARK BARK BARK BARK BARK
Dog. The large black, naturally bone-encrusted dog that has been waiting on her bed for six hours with a large squeaky plush centurion. A light switch is flipped, revealing a very dour Sorcerer and one extremely proud reptile.
”Excellent work, Commissar. At ease.” Zebes throws the houndour a biscuit, which is promptly crunched and devoured as Commissar goes back to chomping on the squeaky centurion and wagging his short tail.
”So. How was your night? We had a surprise for you but you decided to skip out on it apparently.” says Jace sarcastically, looking at the dog before returning his glare to Khannie.Spako Highclaws by Ceika.

"AGH!"
Khannie wasn't expecting a feral pokemon to be in her room.
Not even a little bit.
That wasn't on her plan anywhere and she certainly hadn't accounted for it in her clever (in her opinion, anyway) plotting.
So she flails inarticulately a bit and backs away as far as she can manage, her mind racing. Is she going to have to fight it? Did it hurt dad? It doesn't look that big, there's no way it could be tough. Maybe-
Then the lights come on.
Busted.
Khannie looks absolutely beat. Exhausted. Right at that point where all the adrenaline has worn off and she's ready to crash at any moment. Her cute little hoody is spotless, but her face is smudged and her hair is slicked with sweat.
"Umm..." is her measured response.
How is she going to gt out of this? It was supposed to be a secret!Warning! Random Encounter™ detected!

"I had my phone turned off..." Khannie mutters.
Because if it went off while she was stalking evil it could have put her in danger!
"Umm... It started when I found this cool underground bunker thing that was full of mean robots," Khannie begins. "And there was this cool suite I found down there. And I found out it worked with my moves really good when I mega evolve. And... umm... if I make myself human when I mega evolve I look older? So I thought maybe I could be a super hero."
I mean.
Obviously.
If a child can look grownup and gains a power boost when they do, obviously they need to be a super hero.

"It's pretty neat. You could cook the steak longer next time."
Neverest is one of those awful people who wants meat well-done.
She rotates an eye towards Violet.
"For something this size? I suppose you eat pizza with a fork too?"
Humans are so weird.
Once she gets down to it, she offers Reginald the last bite of her steak.

Jace raises an eyebrow but remains silent for a while.
”So what I’m hearing is that you went off without a team or supervision, alone with no backup plan, at a time when Zebes and I would have been indisposed if you needed help, in order to abuse a power known for causing intense pain and drained energy as common side effects, just so you could do something half a decade before you were actually ready to do it.

Jace’s expression softens, and he kneels down with his hands on her shoulders.
”Oh sweetie. You will be. When you’re ready for it.” and with a quick movement that would have made Arra proud, he snatches the stone pendant from around Khannie’s neck.

Re: Home 24: A house in this market?
[Jace’s Place]
Khannie's initial reaction is a small, sad smile. She places a hand on her father's arm, getting ready to ask another question.
But then her pendant is taken and her expression changes to one of distress!
"No! I need that!" comes her objection, little hands grasping. "I saved people, daddy! I did a bunch of really good things and it was great! I'm too small and weak without it! Everyone would know my secret identity and my suit won't fit!"
Now, mind, if she isn't going out in the middle of the night to do heroics none of those things matter.
But all of those things matter to her, hence the distress.
She isn't going to try to snatch it back, no.
Though she is making a big scene of reaching for it.
Incidentally, her little wishing stone is on the same pendant. Of course, she rarely uses it. If ever. She's stayed human all this time quite intentionally. Though... does she need it with her to stay human? Or just to swap forms? She understood that it was the latter when it was given to her.Warning! Random Encounter™ detected!
