[Nexus] Inside 51

[Lady Serpentine]

"I did not intend to insult. I state simply what is, that the shadows here do not recognise me as others do."

Shadow examines the flowing forms closely, but still maintains a watch on the shadow-people.

"You said it 'should not be'. Is that not an insult of the highest order, to declare a thing should not exist? Or have I misunderstood the concept? Is there some other term more appropriate for that form of disparagement, perhaps?"

[GrandDM]

"All shadows are part of the Darkness... and yet these are not. This is... unknown to me... why this should happen. I am the embodiment of shadow, and yet I am not connected to these shadows as others.

[DMC 2.0]

Retrieving his scalpel, Yuki corrects Mia absentmindedly. "'Her', actually. It was broken when she tried to rend away the personal realm of the god of war with him still inside. Stupid idea, in hindsight..."

[DMC 2.0]

Mia doesn't seem to care much of her mistake. After all it's quiet rare that female carry a bunch of swords around. At least where she comes from.

"So you got the lifestyle kind of god in your home world?"

Mr Steward can wait, and so he does until the device is completed.

[Hotel]

Then we shall timeskip until the moment Andy calls things done and waits for Mr. Steward.(?)

[Lord Magtok]

EMBOH

"I'm not getting into a fight with a dog, Libby."

What could possibly be so undignified as to argue with a mutt, after all? That's not even taking into consideration Maggy's phobia of canines, which would definitely come into play here. The only thing scarier than a horrible devil-spawned hellhound is a talking horrible devil-spawned hellhound, after all.

"Framing could probably work, though. Hrm..."

Borrowing an idea or two from that cube buzzing about his MagCave, our cyborg aims for the darkest, most angsty-looking antihero in the immediate vicinity, trying to 'accidentally' trip into that individual from behind, his foot entangling itself on his robe in a manner you really would expect to happen more often than it does. On the way down, his palm slaps a very sticky, spikey explosive device into the poor bastard's back, which immediately starts blinking and beeping. Whoops, how clumsy of him!

"Ack! Oh, sorry, I tripped. Here, you dropped your-OH HOLY **** HE'S GOT A BOMB!"

Let's see security deal with that. Preferably from a safe distance away, as Magtok intends to make good on his frightful civilian act, and cowardly flee back towards wherever he last left Libby. He'll need to move fast, this distraction can only last so long.

"Did you see any stairs? Or elevators? Downstairs would be our best bet, if they have a basement. People just love burying their money for some reason."

Now is not the time for wry commentary on Nexus society, Magtok. Run! Find something other than bland, useless foyer to explore while the guards are still freaking out!

Mia doesn't seem to care much of her mistake. After all it's quiet rare that female carry a bunch of swords around. At least where she comes from.

"So you got the lifestyle kind of god in your home world?"

[DMC 2.0]

"Lifestyle god?" Yuki gives Mia a confused look. "Haruka was actually a demigod seeking to obtain godhood, so she tried to steal Futsunushi's power. Didn't really work..."

[Terumitsu]

[Market Street - Walking]

"It does." the Entity said after a moment of apparent consideration. "Though it may be indirect, that which one sees in dreams does tend to affect them whence they wake, if I were to use a metaphor. In effect, it could be considered raw materials in some respect while a catalyst in another. Perhaps, put most simply, by existing it contains the most basic forms from which a realm may draw upon like a vast archive of archetypal essences. This is yet another form of translation but one that does make a more accurate approximiation before needing to resort to mathematical statements for greater definition at the least." the Entity said. It did not appear that they would mind discussions involving such but given how they tended to be conversations of rather great length in comparison to transcribing their meaning, they decided that their limited time was better spent in this fashion.

[UncleWolf]

[Junktion Junkyard]

As the pair look around, they may realize a young tech priest is looking over their machine.. she's not the sort of sight you'd expect from most tech priests - sure, she's got the red mechanicus robes, and the respirator and vox unit on her face, but unlike most Adeptus Mechanicus, she hasn't had the hair on her head removed, as the blond locks spill out over a series of wires and tubes that protrude from the back of her head. she has a slim figure; she's probably not much older than 21, if that. her hood is down at the moment, as she looks over the Momma Bess curiously.

And then she'll look up. "Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't realize other people were looking around here."

Junktion Junkyard

Rapture stares blankly at the tech-priest for a moment before taking a deep breath and letting out a sigh of relief. "Thank the Throne that this place is normal. For a moment I thought we'd be some place entirely unidentifiable." She admits as Purity clambers out next to her, holding the Teddy-Servitor. "Can you tell us if we're alive or dead, Priestess?"

[FireFox]

Ashley's Warehouse

"We'll have plenty of time tomorrow," Ashley says with a grin. "But maybe a few minutes," she adds before leaning in to kiss Ally.

Ally returns the kiss, regaining a little energy. One of her hands goes wandering down the mage's body.

[Devixer]

Ashley Warehouse

Ally's hands roving across her gets a few pleasured noises out if Ashley, and she pulls back to say, "You sure you don't want to head for bed?"

[FireFox]

Ashley's Warehouse

Would we be moving to the bed for sleeping, or...? The thief sleepily smirks.

[Devixer]

Ashley's Warehouse

"How 'bout I let you decide that?" Ashley says, with a smirk of her own.

[FireFox]

Ashley's Warehouse

Ally gives her girlfriend a gentle little squeeze, then reluctantly gets out of the chair. Could I... just hold you tonight? Seems like she's too tired after all.

[Devixer]

Ashley Warehouse

Ashley smiles again, more sweetly than anything else this time. "I'd love that," she says, and stands up as well, reaching for Ally's hand. "You need any clothes to change into? That outfit doesn't look too comfortable."

[FireFox]

Ashley's Warehouse

The thief is fine with sleeping nude, so she simply undresses and crawls into bed. She'll fall sound asleep almost instantly after she gets her arms around the mage.

[Devixer]

Ashley's Warehouse

Ashley only takes her cloak and shirt off, leaving her pants. She's quick to follow Ally into bed, and is also quick to fall asleep. That labyrinth left her pretty exhausted.

[Lost_Deep]

Market Street - Walking

Copi nods. "I can't help but feel that seeing into it wouldn't be terribly helpful. Purity, absolutes, and all that is not something that reacts well to the world. Due to its very nature, the world is full of shades of grey. Conglomerations, mixtures, fusions and minglings are part of what makes this world so interesting. However, I am open minded. Why would I want to see into this dream? I imagine it would have some use."

[Shadowcaller]

[Outside the Pokemon Center]

"Fine. I ended up releasing him. I'll see him around, but we're not battling together anymore." Becca says, glaring back at the Beatrix. She didn't need to look at her like that!

[Outside the Pokemon Center]

"What? Is he going to be your pokemon mentor now?" Beatrix asks with a smug smile.

[FireFox]

Ashley's Warehouse

When Ally wakes up, having only slept a few hours, she puts the maid outfit back on and goes to fence the gold. She leaves one gold bar on a table for Ashley to have. Then she returns to the warehouse, having changed into her usual attire.

[Devixer]

Ashley's Warehouse

Ashley wakes up some time after Ally, and looks around to see the gold bar. She leaves it on a shelf - maybe she could use it as part of a spell. She'll be cooking some breakfast for herself off in the office when Ally comes back.

[Gullara]

[Outside the Pokemon Center]

"What? Is he going to be your pokemon mentor now?" Beatrix asks with a smug smile.

[Outside the Pokemon Center]

"I don't need a mentor. I can fight my own battles.*" She says defiantly. Becca's not going to let this girl think she's better than her.

* Using Pokemon of course.

[FireFox]

Ashley's Warehouse

The thief tries to sneak up on and hug her girlfriend. Morning, Ash!

[Devixer]

Ashley's Warehouse

Ashley is hugged from behind with seemingly no warning. She doesn't mind, though, and rests one of her hands on Ally's forearm. "Morning to you too. Want some pancakes?"

[FireFox]

Ashley's Warehouse

Sure. Ally holds the hug a moment longer, then steps back. How'd you sleep?

[Devixer]

Ashley's Warehouse

"Wonderfully, thanks for asking," Ashley says, flipping over a partially cooked pancake. "What about you, did you get enough rest?"

[FireFox]

Ashley's Warehouse

Yeah, I slept well. She moves to the side so she can better admire the mage.

[Devixer]

Ashley's Warehouse

Ashley figures out the motive behind Ally moving, and leans forward a little to make the admiring easier. "Went to sell all that gold off, I'm guessing?"

[FireFox]

Ashley's Warehouse

Mmmhmm... I've got most of the money stashed away. I'll probably end up using it as capital for my next job, whenever I plan that. What've you got planned for the day?

[Devixer]

Ashley's Warehouse

"Don't know yet. I was probably going to do more research, maybe look into finding a better place to live now that I can afford it." The pancakes look finished, and lift themselves onto a nearby plate while Ashley gets more of the batter she'd made.

[FireFox]

Ashley's Warehouse

Ally swipes one of the pancakes and continues admiring Ashley. But this place has so much charm!

[Devixer]

Ashley's Warehouse

"Yeah, I don't disagree with that, this place has grown on me." Ashley gets to cooking another batch of pancakes, even though there's enough for both of them. "I guess I just wanted to have my own place that isn't someone's leftovers. Maybe even build it myself."
