Re: [Nexus] Inside 48
Justin is blue? I never knew this!
Lily doesn't know she's being watched. She continues to work while singing a song she learned from Brinika. Unfortunately, Brinika sings a lot better than Lily does.
Back in the bathroom, Tito grasps the concept immediately. "Oh. But you need to keep a stool in here then, for little people to stand on." Then he scrunches up his face. "Wait, if this place is so dirty, what have you been using? Do you have a chamberpot somewhere?"
"Several courses, plus a lot of clinical training. The hardest course is comparative anatomy for different species. You can't just memorize it, because you never know who will show up in the Nexus. You have to learn how to identify an organ that might be a liver or kidney analogue, even if you've never seen the species before. Fun stuff." Charity says. "It's a lot harder than drawing."My avatar! Isn't it just utterly diabolical? Ashen Lilies made it!

Justin hasn't worn a single outfit without blue his entire life. He has earned the title of blue-thing.
It watches the little-thing and listens to it. Seriously? It's singing now? Does it have to deal with these little-things living here now? Noisy little-things too! At least blue-thing is quiet. No. It's not dealing with this. Little-things have to go and blue-thing is getting a serious talking too. Hey, you! Little-thing. Out! Now! "Meow!"
"Well the urinals and toilets still work fine, dirty or not. There's also about a trillion of these paper toilet seat things in the back." He opens a stall and point to the toilet seat cover dispenser on the back wall.

[Research Institute for Humanist Studies]
Late at night, Professor Roberts approaches the rather ordinary-looking warehouse. On the off-chance the someone decided to follow him, he took several diversions along the way, including stopping off for a drink at a tavern.
He probably did other stuff too, but since Shrimp isn't an expert on not being followed, suffice to say that Roberts made sure as best he could that he wasn't followed.
Anyway, Roberts makes his way over to the warehouse, and as per instructed will either make his way down to the lab, or knock at the appropriate stage of entry, be it the warehouse door or the trap door.Before you criticise someone, walk a mile in their shoes.

A slender, older woman lets Roberts in. "Hmph. You don't look like much. Come on in, then." She leads him in, and he'll find a table where she and two assistants are dissecting a gnome.
Laneside Bowling
Lily looks for the noise making thing. "Are you a real kitty or a Treasure Seeker?"
In the bathroom, Brand says, "Well, let's at least get you a single chamberpot that is clean enough to use before we have to go for the day." Tito nods, and heads into the closest stall to him... which happens to be the clogged one.
He immediately runs back out, pulls the stall door shut, and retches a little without actually vomiting.Last edited by happyturtle; 2012-11-08 at 05:18 PM.

"Appearances can be deceiving, madam. You'll find me quite capable of dealing with the task at hand." Roberts says with a smile as he follows her in.
"I'd appreciate it if you would be so kind as to bring me up to speed on your progress so far. Though if you need to concentrate on your work at the moment, I'm quite happy to wait until you're done."Before you criticise someone, walk a mile in their shoes.

Poor poor Tito. "Whoops, sorry Tito. Really should have sealed that off with police tape or something. Let's start with closest to the door."
Back with Lily, sitting on a nearby ball return is a black cat with a little red collar.
Of course it's a real kitty. Kitties don't treasure hunt, they food hunt. That's nonsensense. The little thing is speaking nonsense! All the more reason to get her out of here. Did it stutter, little thing? It thought it told you to leave. You, door, make friends! "Meowwr!"

Aegis Vaults
Ping! Pong! Ping! Pong!
The supersonic waves bounce between the metal walls of the vault, but turn up a grand total of zip in regards to the ghostly bandit's location. Except... Wait... It's very faint, but.... Yes, there's a patch of air that's considerably denser than the rest, drifting towards the far door.
Gelley's night vision is sadly ineffective at finding the ghost, but it does give a better view of the various buttons, levels, switches, toggles, dials and valves on the control panel. There's also the bank director, passed out cold on the ground.Meese Mobster by smuchmuch.

Ahha! Doctor Decibel goes to...
errr...
Actually he doesn't know what he's supposed to do about a ghost. Good thing he tends to act more than he tends to think! He jumps at the dense air, aiming to fall from up high and sonic punch it.
10 to one he just bumps into the floor and knocks himself out.

"To unbind you, what he said." Mrs. Bloodplunder hopes this stupid, delusional demon will smart up soon, but it seems that being bound for centuries at least tends to have negative effects on one's sanity so there's not much hope there.

Guy's Night Out
The female will grab the needle thing and try to stick Harnel's arm with it. She's... disturbingly eager with it. Anyway, the little thing would all but instantly take a number of itty bitty but rather deep samples. It'll feel like somewhat painful pinpricks, but it won't make him bleed. Before you ask, no, Harnel's scales wouldn't help. The little needle device could pierce up to three inches of steel if needed.
It's not going that deep, no. That's just what it could do.

Re: [Nexus] Inside 48
Guy's Night Out
The bizarre silvery people are pleased to no end! They immediately begin to discuss something, presumably about the sample, and then they are distracted by a butterfly.
It's kind of like watching a pair of cats now, as the two of them whip out their scanners and chase after it to get a scan and maybe catch it in a jar or something. The pair will head off unless Wenomir and Harnel get their attention back.

"Have you ever noticed how many people here are like cats?" Harnel asks rather inanely, "Even the people without cat bits are like cats."
Yes, he is, in fact, watching the SETs scurry off after a butterfly.Last edited by Halae; 2012-11-09 at 06:34 PM.

"Comparative anatomy." The woman waves at a shelf where brains of different species sit floating in jars of preservative. "The brain is the obvious target, but a secondary target is hands. Tool making. The gnomes have incredibly dextrous hands, despite their less complex brain structure."

"Okay... I can..."
Tito is still looking queasy, so Brand has mercy on him. "Why don't you go help your sister? We shouldn't leave her out there alone too long." Tito nods and takes off, relieved at his escape.
"He works too hard," Brand says, looking after him with paternal pride and worry. "He probably does three times the chores I did at his age. If we didn't have the excuse of sending him after Lily sometimes, he'd probably never get any play in."
In the main part of the bowling alley, he gets there just as Lily is trying to scoop up the kitty and hug it and squeeze it and pet it and love on it. Cats love that, right? "Look, Tito, it's a kitty!"

"Hmm." Justin scratches his head and tries to connect with his inner child for advice. Tito's probably trying to keep himself busy as best as he can to avoid thinking about stuff. "I guess you could always schedule playtime. Never would have worked on me, but Tito is way less defiant than I was. Sorry that's such crappy advice." Justin is so not qualified to advise people on their kids. "He's a good kid, though. Hell, he's a great kid. Just keep loving him I guess."
In the main room, a minor correction, Tito walks in just in time to see his sister's arms phase through the kitty. It should feel like she just stuck her hand in a pocket of chilly air.
Yeah, that's not happening. "Mrrowr." Listen, little things, it has a certain arrangement with Blue-thing. He stays quiet and out of it's way, and he gets to stay here. If you can follow the same rules Blue-thing does, one or two of you can stay. Not all three! One of you is out on the street. It suggests you start making your case before the third thing comes in. "Meoow."

"Hehe... You were probably more like Lily. Always in trouble and using your angel face to try and get out of it." Brand says.
Lily shivers as she misses the kitty. "It jumps fast," she says.
"It didn't jump. It tell-a-pulted." Tito says.
"Don't be silly, Tito, kitties can't tell-a-pult!"
"I saw it! And this isn't Home, Leelee! Kitties can do scary stuff here. I heard there was an army of kitties once, who breathed fire."
"Oh." Lily looks at the kitty. "Do you breathe fire?"Last edited by happyturtle; 2012-11-10 at 01:11 PM.

"If their brain structure is less complex, the gnomes are inferior. Why waste time with the hands?" Roberts asks, folding his arms. "It doesn't matter if we are weaker in any aspect other than our intellect, the power of our minds allows us to overcome any such shortcomings and surpass all others. The only thing we need to prove here is that we have the best brains, as it were."
Roberts walks over to the brain shelf and peers intently at the jars, rubbing his chin thoughtfully. "The fact that you're looking at anything other than the brain suggests there's an elephant in the room. Which brain appears to be more complex than ours?"Before you criticise someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticise them, you'll be a mile away and you'll have their shoes.
