[Nexus] GLoG 85

[Morty]

[Poplar Cabin]

Reelshka hugs Pansy back, still radiating happiness.

"Pathfinder and I agreed on that when we were visiting his tribe. His parents helped a little, and here we are."

[happyturtle]

Poplar Cabin

"That's wonderful! How is your appetite? You need to be sure and eat plenty of meat while you're pregnant." Pansy gushes. "Have you had second breakfast yet?"

[Morty]

[Poplar Cabin]

"Not yet," Reelshka says. "I am a bit hungrier than usual these days... it's been a month since it started. I asked my sister for advice, but Brinika's a normal goblin and this baby will be half-wolfen, so not all her experience applies."

[McBish]

Main Lodge

"Magic... y-yeah. That makes sense..." For a moment he imagines the sensation of coldness on his back and growing wings, but Timmy's powers prove again that imagination is a dangerous thing and a pair of invisible wings, simplistic in shape, form behind him and force his chair back and him forward, landing him bottom first on the ground. Realizing what just happened, Timmy quickly shuts his eyes tight and breathes slowly, trying to prevent any stray thoughts as he dissipates the wings.

To folks who couldn't see what was happening this might seem quite distressing.

Yuki jumps, startled by Timmy getting shoved off his chair. She stands up and looks around the room for what might have shoved him, thinking it might be a ghost playing some sort of game. She looks down at Timmy seeing him with his eyes shut and takes a step towards him. "Are you OK?"

[Deathkeeper]

Main Lodge

Mark jumps off his chair and goes to help Timmy up. He's already seen Timmy's powers and been told that he's not in control of them, so it's not too hard to piece together what happened.
"Is Sir alright? Did he lose control again?"

[happyturtle]

Poplar Cabin

"You really should eat. Dear, will you go and fix a nice big sandwich for Reelshka?" Pansy says. A nice big sandwich will fix everything! "You mustn't miss meals, not at all."

"Of course, love," Brand says, climbing down off the chair and clearly relieved to be getting out of the conversation.

[Morty]

[Poplar Cabin]

Reelshka's ears twitch.

"Brand seemed a little awkward listening to us. Then again, so did Rapnuk when my sister and I talked about it." Pansy probably remembers that Rapnuk is the name of Brinika's father.

[happyturtle]

Poplar Cabin

Pansy laughs. "You just embarrassed him, that's all. It isn't customary for a man to be told about pregnancy unless he's the father."

[Morty]

[Poplar Cabin]

Reelshka chuckles.

"I never thought of that. I think living here must have made me feel confident talking about it. My sister was delighted to find out, of course, and so was Brinika."

[happyturtle]

Poplar Cabin

"I'm sure." Pansy pauses, as something occurs to her. "Brinika won't tell Lily, will she?"

[Morty]

[Poplar Cabin]

Reelshka's ears twitch again and she nods.

"I made sure that she won't. Pathfinder wants to tell her himself."

[happyturtle]

Poplar Cabin

Pansy's posture relaxes. "Oh good. She... well, you know she's a bit high-strung. Pathfinder will be able to handle her though."

[Morty]

[Poplar Cabin]

"Yes, it occurred to us and we talked about it. But I think he'll be able to it this as well," Reelshka says, rubbing her stomach absent-mindedly.

[happyturtle]

Poplar Cabin

"I'm sure. But be sure he's feeding you enough. I know he's a shaman, but he's not a woman. He doesn't know how hard it is to build a baby!" Pansy says.

[Morty]

[Poplar Cabin]

Reelshka smiles.

"Don't worry about it. I'm sure he'll take great care of me. And my sister would never allow me to neglect myself either. She's really excited about another nephew or niece. She'll visit more often now."

[FireFox]

Outside Dogwood Cabin

The chickadee flies over so it is closer to the girls and Kevin, choosing to land on the ground. On the ground, it starts to grow. The feathers recede, her wings turn into arms and her body changes its entire shape until eventually where once stood a small American bird stands an English eleven year old girl with black hair hanging loosely to her waist and green eyes. She's wearing a blue t-shirt and a green knee-length skirt, and she's currently, as always, barefoot. "Hello! I'm Natalie. It's good to meet you, Kevin."

[Outside Dogwood Cabin]

"Two months?" Jamie smiles even more. "That's awesome! And I'm sure daddy will be able to teach you a lot..."

Then suddenly, Natalie!
"Oh, hey! So, yeah, this is Kevin. Kevin, meet Natalie!"

[Outside Dogwood Cabin]

"Hi Natalie!" Brinika says. "Is Druidic magic like the stuff Jamie does?"

Kevin takes a step back in surprise when the bird turns into a girl. Luckily, he's so naturally polite that he returns her greeting reflexively. It's nice to meet you, Natalie. Then he answers Brinika's question. Tobias says every Druid works their magic a little differently. I don't really know what Jamie does.

[Earl of Purple]

Outside Dogwood Cabin

"My magic teacher needed to see me use my spells before he started to teach me so he knew how I cast spells. Maybe it's something like that?" Natalie adds in. As she speaks, she clicks her fingers and with a flash of red light is holding a yellow daffodil. The red light is around her fingers, but is accompanied by a brief orbit of her head by translucent red spades, as found on playing cards.

Jamie or Brinika may note that, due to the actions of one of Murkus's characters, the red light produced by her magic is slightly darker than it used to be.

Grounds

The girl, who did seem to be growing from the tree, smiles. "Wow, I've never seen a building made of wood before. There must be a lot of dead wood around here to supply it all." Baccata, the dryad, pulls her hands away from the yew and steps away.

The tree that inspired Baccata, in the local churchyard, has been chopped down.

[Reinholdt]

[Camp Entrance]

Nicholas purrs and arches his back. Pets. Pets are good.

"I took him from a cat shelter in Inside," Sophie explains. "I made sure to find one that's friendly and good with people."

[Camp Entrance]

"Well he's adorable. I'll have to go take a look and see about getting one myself. Or maybe a puppy." Irene gives Nicholas a few more pets before standing up.

"Interested in going on a walk?" Irene asks.

MedLab

A Reinholdt is coming in here to seek out Tobias.

[FireFox]

Med Lab

There are two Tobiases in the lab! The fox-eyed one and the angel Orianna are in the younger Toby's office with the hope that any members of GLoG who like to fight Evil would be interested in captaining a HALO team.

The blue-eyed one is teaching a surgery lesson in the operating theater.

[Reinholdt]

Med Lab

Well Rein's not going to interrupt a surgery lesson. For multiple reasons.

Though HALO Tobias wasn't who he was looking for, he does pop in anyways, confused.
"Hi Tobias. Orianna. What are you doing here?"

[Morcleon]

[Infirmary]

Kevin squirms uncomfortably under the magical girl's stare, looking down at his boots. Um... Excuse me? I don't know what you're talking about, miss...

We can either leave a plotclone talking with Sayuri or have her join the scene in

{Infirmary +}

Pearl just nods, waiting to follow Sayuri's lead.

[Infirmary +]

Perhaps a plotclone would be preferable. After all, five players in one scene can be rather slow.

"Oh, don't worry about it, Kevin." Sayuri grins as she reaches over to pick up Pearl. "And I'm Kagamine Sayuri. Just call me Sayuri, 'kay?"

"Do you live here?"

[OrchestraHc]

The girl, who did seem to be growing from the tree, smiles. "Wow, I've never seen a building made of wood before. There must be a lot of dead wood around here to supply it all." Baccata, the dryad, pulls her hands away from the yew and steps away.

The tree that inspired Baccata, in the local churchyard, has been chopped down.

Grounds

(I'm sorry to hear about that. )

"I guess..." Justin mumbles as they bring the tree to what he believes would be a good and fairly central location in the camp. If they didn't buy the wood, they probably just chopped them all down, which might not sit well with Baccata.

Justin directs the other pair, the man and woman halflings, to a direction beyond the actual camp where they'll be making back and forth trips with panels.

"We're going to stick you close to the middle so you can see as much as possible, and make it easy to visit. Or would you prefer to be closer to the lake?"

Main Lodge

Yuki jumps, startled by Timmy getting shoved off his chair. She stands up and looks around the room for what might have shoved him, thinking it might be a ghost playing some sort of game. She looks down at Timmy seeing him with his eyes shut and takes a step towards him. "Are you OK?"

"Is Sir alright? Did he lose control again?"

Main Lodge

"I... I..." Timmy says between deep breaths. He just needs to grab hold... "I'm fine... It's under control. I-I slipped for a moment. I'm sorry I startled you." He picks himself up with a grip on the table. For the sake of his future friendships, he's not going to mention how almost bad that kind of was.

[Morty]

[Camp Entrance]

"Well he's adorable. I'll have to go take a look and see about getting one myself. Or maybe a puppy." Irene gives Nicholas a few more pets before standing up.

"Interested in going on a walk?" Irene asks.

"Sure, why not," Sophie says as she picks up Nicholas and puts him on her shoulder.

[FireFox]

[Med Lab]

I'm getting older. She's learning about the other family. Tobias sets down the Physicians' Desk Reference he was idly paging through. He's in the other room getting cut up, if you'd like to watch.


[Infirmary +]

Okay, Say-Sayuri. He stumbles a bit over the unfamiliar pronunciation. He also looks a little worried about what she's thinking with that scary grin. No, I live with my grandparents in Mister Druid's kingdom. But I'll be staying here a few months.

[Lex-Kat]

Infirmary +

No, no. It's just one Say. Say it with me Si-Ur-Ee. Pearl pronounces it out. ((Hopefully I've been saying it in my head, the way Morclean has been. ))

[McBish]

Main Lodge

"I... I..." Timmy says between deep breaths. He just needs to grab hold... "I'm fine... It's under control. I-I slipped for a moment. I'm sorry I startled you." He picks himself up with a grip on the table. For the sake of his future friendships, he's not going to mention how almost bad that kind of was.

"It's OK, I didn't realize you had powers?" Yuki doesn't seem like she understands what is going on. But it seems that Mark is aware of what is going on, and Timmy seems to be keeping it under control. "It was you that did whatever happened right?"

[Deathkeeper]

Main Lodge

Mark puts a hand on Timmy's shoulder, both as a reassurance and to make sure he doesn't fall over.
"Sir needn't worry. A minor mistake; Sir didn't even break any bones this time."
Huh. I think that was actually a joke.

[The Bushranger]

[Outside With Kevin]

Kevin takes a step back in surprise when the bird turns into a girl. Luckily, he's so naturally polite that he returns her greeting reflexively. It's nice to meet you, Natalie. Then he answers Brinika's question. Tobias says every Druid works their magic a little differently. I don't really know what Jamie does.

Jamie or Brinika may note that, due to the actions of one of Murkus's characters, the red light produced by her magic is slightly darker than it used to be.

Jamie never really noticed. Silly girl.

"I never showed you my magic?"
Her eyes get wide as she looks at Kevin in surprise!
"Maybe I should do that!"
And indeed, she's already fished her wand out of her pocket.

[Morty]

[Outside With Kevin]

"Jamie's magic is really cool!" Brinika exclaims. Of course, she has magic now too, but she hasn't got used to it yet.

[Reinholdt]

"Sure, why not," Sophie says as she picks up Nicholas and puts him on her shoulder.

Irene will proceed to go on a walk around GLoG and the lake with Sophie. Walk walk.

[Med Lab]

I'm getting older. She's learning about the other family. Tobias sets down the Physicians' Desk Reference he was idly paging through. He's in the other room getting cut up, if you'd like to watch.

[Med Lab]

"When I want Tobias cut up, I'll do it myself." Reinholdt replies.

"Well, if you want to meet Quinn and Jamie, you'd be better off looking in the Infirmary."
