"Trying to find work," Lucy retorts, pulling herself up to her full height...which is probably a little shorter than Toby. "What are you doing here?"

Tobias looks her over, then raises an eyebrow as he jumps to conclusions. Is prostitution legal in this city?Me quoque per multos similis fortuna labores

That gets a roll of the eyes as Lucy waves to the twin katanas strapped Deadpool-style on the back of her fully covering, if tight, black top.
"Fiftee dolla, I keel you," she drawls.

"...you might have a point."
Lucy's expression betrays her expression at her countersalvo having been parried.
"But you still haven't said what brings you to this wreched hive of scum and villiany."
And she crosses her arms beneath her chest...

"I said the wreched hive of scum and villiany, not the death zone," Lucy observes. "And it's just as much business of mine as my business is of yours."
She pauses.
"So there!"

"Oh, thank you." The woman gives a hesitant smile. "Don't worry about tripping over me. Most people would have kept walking, or shouted at or kicked me." She chuckles, though it's a grim sound. She at least seems to be in good humor, despite her situation.

Imesah does not chuckle with the young woman. In fact, she looks a little irritated that someone would kick her for seemingly no reason. "People need to respect those less fortunate than them."

"Yeah, I'll bet you did." Arthur's attitude shifts from getting all thoughtful and introspective to genuine anger. He reaches up and slowly removes Willow's arm from his shoulders, glaring into Willow's eyes. His expression softens after just a second, and he looks away, shame filling his features quickly. "I...I'm sorry, that was uncalled for. It's just that I've been taking my new outlook on the situation a little seriously..."

"No."
From what she remembered, she was tasked with eradicating them. Not capturing them.
And so, she proceeds to fly at the one on the ceiling, bringing back her fist in preparation of slamming it into the arms. Her knuckles have silver on them, so she's expecting the punch she's attempting will be effective.

"Okay," Adir says, undeterred. "Well, how about some shopping then?" Which may or may not be handwaved. Up to you.
"That's amazing," Kailee says, squatting down to watch it work with a clinically blank expression. She'll reach out to touch the spot where Wrath's cut used to be, once the potion's work is done. Escorts have this... issue with personal space. "No nanites. Just... red liquid."
When Wrath poses his question, Kailee stands up again. "If by android you mean 'robot that looks like a person', then no. I'm human. I just run on batteries." She seems to be entirely serious.My avatar was done by Gullara. Thanks again!

"Well, are a lot of different ingredients in there that give it its effects," Ashley says. She doesn't think her potions are that amazing, but she's used to them.
She lets Kailee and Wrath talk about the Escort's being human. She doesn't have much to add to it, knowing less than nothing about robots.

"Hey Myrrh?" Rick calls out in a commanding tone.
"Nyar?" the lizard replies, glancing down from his perch curiously.
"Can you still do that thing where you glow?"
"Yes! That is a thing for am which doing!"
The critter hops from the rock face and the seal on his forhead begins to glow with soft white light. Along with the matching seal on Rick's hand! Woooo!

Sure, might as well play it out. For a bit of it at least.
"That's probably a good plan. Better do it before I get too big to move." Sakura laughs. Cessie managed well enough, but she still wonders how much of an effect carrying twins will have.

Nodding, the cloaked woman sighs. "Some people are just selfish." She plops down beside the woman on the ground, and extends a hand in greeting. "Suppose I should introduce myself. I'm Kagamine Hi- ah, Kagamine Sayuri."

Yuki blinks, then sighs. "Well, I'll have to do that then..."

The woman runs a hand through her hair hair, dislodging some wispy grey dust. The other two will briefly be able to see the ragged looking notch on the outside of her right ear. "Yeah, they're real bastards alright." She rubs her leg at the thought.
"Ignai Innominata is my name." When she takes Kagamine's hand, the other woman might notice that her skin is unusually hot to the touch.

Re: [Nexus] Inside 48
No Joking Matter in the Red Zone
Wrath's obviously a little uncomfortable with Kailee poking at him, but he doesn't bring it up just now. She's got worse problems than not respecting personal space. "Okay, uhm... Not an android. Still, theee Elexxion guys are looking for you. Not good." To put it lightly. As a resident of the Red Zone, he's had a first-class seat to Elexxion's rise. Those people have scary amounts of power.
"Why?" Cautiously, Wrath tries standing, putting as little weight on the previously-injured leg as possible. To the vigilante's pleasant surprise there's no stab of pain and he doesn't collapse again. He shifts a little more of his weight onto it. Still nothing. Healed. "I mean... It's your business. But I want to help and I'm not sure if I can, without knowing why they're after you."Meese Mobster by smuchmuch.

"Useful. Okay, lead the way, Myrrh." Gerri will step into the cave after Myrrh, cautious but not cowardly.
Not about this, anyway. The whole reason she got lost in the park is because she was too busy not thinking about pressing issues in her life. Issues that she really should be dealing with right now.
But she's not cowardly about the cave. Only cautious.

H scratches his chin for a moment, possibly bringing notice to some albino facial hair that Kate might not have noticed, given its light color, "Is it possible that non are truly incorrect? If nothing is fiction, then theoretically, everything a person assumes or theorizes is true."

Re: [Nexus] Inside 48

"That is possible, but what I was referring to by "There is no fiction" is that every work thought of as fiction in one reality is true somewhere else in the multiverse. Because in an infinite amount of different realities, no matter how unlikely a thing is it has happened, and even happened an infinite number of times."
"Anyway, it is possible that all of them are correct simultaneously, I think, due to the fact that the powers in question are probably powerful enough that an omniquantic view is viable."
Oh snap, Kate isn't fazed at all by the philosophy. How deep down the rabbit hole do you want to go, summoner?

"That would suggest that, technically, while I'm here, I'm also where I was, in many, many iterations of the location of 'where I was', all of which may be minutely different. Even so much as a blade of grass tilting a different way may have been enough for that version of myself to not have dropped into this world."
"This, of course, begs the question of where this stands in theCosmology of the universe. If it 'catches' what falls out of other worlds, theoretically, it's where everything lands, below the rest. alternately, it's like a drain, and everything swirls towards the center."
It seems he put on an excavation helmet just for that rabbit hole. Let's see how far it goes then.If You need me to post somewhere, drop me a message, please

Imesah removes her helmet, revealing her full face and black hair. She does notice the notch Ignai's ear, but doesn't bring it up. "I am Imesah Zhirov," she says while lowering the helmet to the ground.

"Well, we have to keep in mind that we're dealing with transrealital physics, not just astrological or planar. We don't know just what kind of comparisons we can make and still have them be accurate. We can probably guess at the complexity by extrapolating up from what we know."
"Let me think. Assuming your home universe uses some kind of planar system, in which there is a material plane and there are other planes where outsiders live, we can extrapolate up using degrees of separation. We'll use planar separation as zero, that would make timeline separation one, universal separation two, and realital separation three. Assuming that's how a particular reality is tiered, anyway."
"Oh, functional definitions. In this case, I'm calling a timeline something with the same beginning or source but differentiated by the actions or events they contain. Universes have different sources, but follow the same overarching ruleset. Realities are a collection of universes that follow the same rules. That sound about right?"
Kate... Kate... you've thought this through before. It's turtles all the way down, Kate!

"My world only operates on three... planes. We have Gaia, the world of humans, the spirit world, and the Flow of Souls, where the dead go. The beings I commune with come from the spirit world. Regardless, this sounds like an accurate assessment of some temporal philosophy I've heard. you wouldn't happen to be a student of such teachings, would you?"
