Re: [Nexus] HALO 179: Under New MAGnagement!
Arlem nods quickly. You are a lot alike, doubting yourself. Believe; people have more potential than you know. You've not seen a tenth of what the Nexus holds, so do. All things are at least a little possible here.
Leo might find that he does believe in himself and has great hopes for discovering his abilities, due to some attempted meddling with his emotions and memories. Just small changes, for his own good, she'd promise.

Re: [Nexus] HALO 179: Under New MAGnagement!
Shoyler frowns and sighs a bit as he listens closely. It sounded like these slavers were particularly nasty pieces of work. It'd be dangerous, as Magtok warned. He'd need to be prepared. Yes, sir. I understand. Is it possible I be provided with elegant clothing or something like that? I could pretend to be the father of some far off Prince, eager to gather as many slaves to work as servants for his coming-of-age party. The ruse worked before when I was to infiltrate a Castle. Though we were disguised as slaves to enter, not... Uh... Not the buyers... Er... Sorry. I tend to rabble... My apologies.

"Hmmmm." Mr C replies " Yes that makes sense. Just need to know what I'm about to do."
Magtok's Office
It may be hard for him to look in their eyes, since Tovpir's eyes are futher down^^.
After all he jsut nods. Their is nothing to say for him and at least Tovpir got his natural protection. He only needs to worry if they find something strong enougth.Grammer is my declared deadly enemy!

((A post for Zefir, since I had nothing to go on earlier))
"you're about to move things without a touch, like I can. Well, to start, close your eyes. Later it will help to perceive, but currently you want to focus on your mind's eye."
Arlem carefully pushes the air near Mr. C around.
"Can you see how I'm doing this?"
You can hear this, right? Can you make me stop speaking? Can you imagine how you would do that? It's hard because one can't perceive their brain, but think of the ideas this evokes.

"Hrm. So what else have you got around here, besides punch guns?" Poor Pesty; Magtok's already lost interest in Thumper. Doesn't really bode too well for future funding, does it?
MagOffice
"Done," Magtok snaps his fingers, and a Magbot walks in with a suitable costume hanging off of a coat hanger.
"I'll be sending one of my own to MALE if all I've got is you two, I suppose. "

Leo is thinking of raising a point in regards to reasonable doubt, but he suddenly feels an uncharacteristic swelling in his self-confidence. Was Arlem affecting his mood and behavior somehow? Regardless, he finds that his headache is gone now, and further telepathic messages sent to him will now be easier to both discover and decipher.
Leo realized the potential of PSI Telepath α!

"You're good friends with her, but don't know when she got here? Do you have any rough idea?" Kwen-ni asks, eyebrow raised slightly.
Civvy, who had excused herself from Magtok's office, was now around somewhere! She wasn't doing too much, so if anyone wanted tobothersay hi to her, that would be good.Spoiler: Quotes

"No, this doesn't look like a treasury, either. Drat." Magtok apparently meant to be elsewhere, but lingers just a minute longer, reaching out to wordlessly pat Thalia's shoulder. Presuming she doesn't say or do anything in response, that's all the comfort he intends to offer before resuming his search for HALO's fabled secret money vaults of endless gold. Y'know, the one that totally exists outside the hopes and dreams of our cyborg, and has definitely been funding this place since it started.

"Sometimes, sure. She died on her own, though. Or...deadtimed, more accurately. I like to imagine I'd be able to stand up to her and win, now that I've aged and grown, but really, she'd probably just have me whimpering in a corner all over again."
Magtok peers at the door, considering whether to stay or just leave on that cryptic note, before his conscience eventually wins out, and he takes a seat opposite Thalia.
"Regina Idiotarum. Alternately, Rex Idiotarum. King of Idiots, in Latin. A genderfluid shapeshifter, deity-level sorcerer specializing in blood magicks, and leader of AMEN at the time. August, seven years ago, in Trog's Tavern. I'd taken over the Town, which is what we were calling the Nexus back then, and raised AMEN's banner over it, only for her to take it back down and give the world back to its people, for some really stupid reason. Then she became a cop, more or less took over the town a second time, and just...she just cuffed me and marched me upstairs to her room, right in front of everyone. Nobody said or did anything, whether because of fear of her or just callousness, they just...let her go."
Magtok shakes his head, and produces his own bottle. Not the same stuff, though. Can't go confessing to everything. He pours himself a glass, or more precisely, a cheap plastic cup, and sips from that.
"The important thing to remember is it wasn't your fault. It doesn't matter if you fought every step of the way, or quit partway through because you thought you'd die, or lost hope right from the beginning. The blame doesn't lie with you, and you're not obligated to prove anything to anyone because of it. You're not a victim or broken or any less of a person for anything that happened. It doesn't define who you are, and doesn't have to be a part of how you present yourself to the world."

Thalia turns visibly pale when he talks about the Rex and Trog's thing.
... That's what happened to me. Thank god the bastard who did it to me got shot in the head in an alleyway by law enforcement.
I know, but as you probably read, I was left with mental issues from that. I m certainly not broken, but it does define me and who I am, Magtok. The reason I declined the mission... not only due to my status as wanted in Skyside, but because I can't trust myself to not attempt to slay the owners in a blind rage at all the misery I'd see."Are we living a life that is safe from harm? Of course not, we never are. But that's not the right question. The question is: are we living a life that is worth the harm?"

"I know what happened to you, Thalia, that's why I told you that story. And I just mean in the long-term. Right now, sure, it's the biggest thing that's happened to you in a long time, but in a year? Two, maybe? You'll have other things going on. Skyside's slavers are going to be beaten up, down, and sideways for all they've done, HALO's going to help you through this or that, and things are going to get better."
He reaches a hand out across the table, to rest over hers.
"It will get better, okay? I promise, as leader of HALO, as Lord Magtok, and if you'll have me, as a friend. We'll get you past your issues, clear the bounty, whatever else needs to be done. Your past will lose, it will be utterly vanquished, and future you will be free to be whatever she wants without fear."
Magtok, I don't think that's a kind of promise you're qualified to make.

Re: [Nexus] HALO 179: Under New MAGnagement!
"the truth is that I only met her once when she foiled my robbery attempt of some gems. I'm not really a sheriff, I just pretended to be one to infiltrate HALO to check up on her without being caught as the criminal I am, since its supposed to be the Heroic Anti-Evil and LAWBREAKING Organization, so I figured you'd all be like those strict police types that don't tolerate crime around these parts and pursue it with zeal towards anyone who dares do evil or break the law, and I'm being honest now because you spotted an inconsistency in my lie that I could find no way to lie around.
My real name, is Valcario De Zantasa, pirate, cowboy, thief of boredom, and I'm starting to think my assumptions about this place are crooked if they have let evil people in before and are undisciplined enough to let a valuable resource like you clearly go to waste. I truly am only trying to check up on Caelynn though, just a visit. Man, I've gone to so much trouble to do this that I'm starting to question if just walking in and just honestly asking outright, then walking out as if I was a normal person would've been faster and more effective. Which doesn't give me a lot of faith in your organization, how am I supposed to be running from the authorities and living on the edge of civilized society while braving death or capture if your so.....laid back about this? Not natural."

Aaagh, hug! As much as Magtok might insist he's fine now, hugs still put him a little on edge. He's had plenty of years to master the art of not looking like he's freaking out inside, though. He even manages to pat her back briefly and pull away at the appropriate time, without darting away before the hug can start or going catatonic halfway through!
"Just doing my job. Don't tell anyone about Regina though, okay? I'm not ashamed of it anymore, I just...I don't want anyone to feel bad for me over something that happened a whole seven years ago, y'know? Someone to look up to, a villain to look down on, maybe, but I'm not after anyone's pity."
He drops that empty plastic cup in a trash can, as he heads out of the room.
"What I am after is this place's treasury. You haven't seen it, have you? Blargh, I can't find a single thing in this darned Rapture-imitation when I'm looking for it. I swear, I've seen like six bathrooms, passed the dormitories eleven times, and I'm pretty sure I walked in on some DRDs about to curtain, but no treasury. HALO has to keep funds for things like fancy tournaments somewhere, but if I have to ask one of the vets, I'm going to look silly."
You already look silly, Magtok.
