Re: [Nexus] Outside XXVI
Devan Mountain
Thankfully, the weather stays clear. Given his natural abilities, he should be able to get to the top sooner or later... But some of the ways are treacherous, and even a skilled mountaineer would have a degree of trouble.
Of course, if Fade can fly that shouldn't be too much of a problem. He could just soar straight to the top.
One way or the other, as he (eventually) approaches the summit, there will be four individuals there. They are talking, discussing something...

Fade can't really fly. But he has a giant shadow that could help him. He will just go to the persons there.

This particular choice of action may be re-thought when Fade sees that the figures are, in fact, trolls.
...That is not very informative, is it? There are so many trolls across the universes, that the word "troll" is really next to no help. Some places, Trolls are kinds of fairies, others, they are giants, or weird toad things, or a profession...
The figures are, in fact, Homestuck Trolls.
((Not any of those individuals, but the same race. Spoiler alert! If you have not read the story, I would recommend you do so. I can wait as long as you need to take.))
In addition, they are talking as he walks up. They are all wearing cold-weather clothes.

"I-" Sakura breaks off. She bites her lip, trying to think of what they should do. "We can't just stay here though. Can we? What if they do something when we sleep? Or what if they won't let us leave in the morning or something? We can't be away from home for too long tomorrow. I need to get back to Sarget."

Amil briefly considers the possibility that they're about to be attacked by a weremoose, but she quickly dismisses that idea. It's just far too silly to be a legitimate concern.
Because the Nexus is never silly, right?
Right?

"Yeah, right."
Sober Darst does not talk much. Nor does he expect for this to be easy. He fully expects to have to break some bones and lacerate some muscles before the night is done. Of course, he has this expectation most of the time.
He's paranoid that way.

Re: [Nexus] Outside XXVI
[Home on the range]
There isn't a reply, at least not at once.
Instead it would seem as if Sam along with the rest of the world is starting to fall into tiny pieces, tiny eights. Daniel can feel the ground grow weak underneath him as the grass and the very earth start to crawl with the eights.
He notices how the sky itself start to fall apart as more and more of it is taken up by eights.
Suddenly he will feel the ground, now eights, crumble underneath his weight as he falls into a world, a whole reality of eights where he soon can feel his own body being converted into them...
He wakes up yet again, but this time he's in a old looking room. There is a made bed, a closet, a calender hanging on the wall showing it's august as well as a bench with a radio playing eight days a week.
There is a singular window letting in an almost lime light.
"You aren't afraid." Comes a voice from nowhere. It sounds quite annoyed, not much more then a hiss. "Why not?"

Town
"Then let's go. They might still be eating." Adir says, starting for the door. He peeks out briefly, glancing down the stairs. "All clear." The stag offers his hand to Sakura before starting down the way they came. Seems he needs no more convincing.My avatar was done by Gullara. Thanks again!

Re: [Nexus] Outside XXVI

With that, the pair slips out the door, Adir making sure to close it quietly. Of course, he manages not to notice the small shape slipping out after them moments later. I doubt Sakura will either.
Provided Sakura has no issues, they'll likely make it through the night without any issue. No monsters, the way they're going. At least, none they can see.My avatar was done by Gullara. Thanks again!

If Adir doesn't notice Sakura sure doesn't he's the one that can see well at night and has much better senses overall after all. She keeps his hand in hers at all times. It'd be too easy to lose him in the darkness. "Let's slow down a bit." The dryad suggests, panting with the exertion. She glances back the way they came.

Re: [Nexus] Outside XXVI
River
Jasper and Legion should appear here, standing about knee-deep at the edge of the stream. It's pretty darn deep, about ten feet at the center, less so by the riverbank, but the current is about as strong as molasses in January. Jasper, upon realizing he's teleported them both into the rather cold water, yelps and jumps back onto the shore.Meese Mobster by smuchmuch.

Re: [Nexus] Outside XXVI
Lord EtherAin just looks bemused as the man is led out, turning to the other members of the room just before the mercenary disappears down the hall.
(You mind overly much if I leave it sort of hanging there while I work out the other Mercenaries? You could take him to the quarters, which are just the similar white rooms that I think I've already described.)"Trust bladescape, Shadow of Doubt,"

Re: [Nexus] Outside XXVI
FeyClaw Manor
Jacques nods, offering a respectful bow.
Lord FeyClaw, I presume? I am Jacques Dreyfus, and it is excellent to make your acquaintance.
If Lord FeyClaw is looking closely, he'll note that Jacques is about 5 and a half feet or about 1.66 Meters in height. He's fairly thin, though not unhealthily so, and has a slightly jaded look to him. He has the occasional scar here and there, hinting that he's seen battle before.
He's wearing full combat paraphernalia, with an Automatic Rifle, a Semiautomatic Combat Shotgun, a Revolver, and a belt of Grenades. He's also wearing Combat Armor, which is a dark blue in color and is composed of hundreds of thin resin layers with steel plates over vital areas for additional support. He looks like he could take a few bullets without slowing down.

Fade does indeed manage to rend the gate, pulling it right off it's hinges, but not without making a dreadful amount of noise. People begin to poke their heads out of windows, doors begin to open, the sound of someone racking a shotgun can even be heard.Meese Mobster by smuchmuch.

Re: [Nexus] Outside XXVI
Lost
The way they came is almost completely invisible in this darkness. Not even the lights from the town are visible.
Beyond the sound of their own panting, strange things echo through the forest. A great pallid thing flutters across the path about ten feet ahead, moaning to the sky. Mocking birdcalls or deep wails echo through the black expanse, and unseen things walk amongst the trees. Their footsteps grow louder and louder, then pass on.
Adir slows to nearly a standstill, trying to hold Sakura with both arms. "You feeling okay?" His eyes drift to the forest around them, skittish and hesitant.
River
Legion gives a start at the sudden rush of cold, but doesn't hop out. She adjust her footing, squelching the riverbed with her toes, breathing deeply. The Lady shivers, crouching to wash her face a little. "Good spot, Jasper." She hears him splashing out and turns to smirk at him. "What, too cold?"Last edited by Murkus; 2011-09-25 at 11:33 PM.

Re: [Nexus] Outside XXVI

Sakura clutches Adir close, a part of her wishing they'd stayed back at the town. Her senses strain to detect something, but everything she can see and hear only frightens her further. She never would have thought she could be so afraid in a forest.
The dryad jumps at yet another haunting bird call, one hand twisting Adir's shirt in her balled fist. "I'm scared, Adir. Tell me we're going to get away from here soon. Please."

Re: [Nexus] Outside XXVI
River
"No, just... Wasn't expecting that." Jasper says, laughing a little as he sits down on the shore, feet still in the water, watching Legion. "I was sorta meaning to teleport us to beside the river, not into it." His teleportation has a pretty wide margin of error if he's trying to teleport very far, or isn't entirely familiar with where he's going. He's actually teleported into a wall a couple times, but with his other powers it was easy to get out. Not something he'd want to repeat though.Meese Mobster by smuchmuch.

Re: [Nexus] Outside XXVI

It's not just the sounds, but the smells. There's a chemical in the air, some hateful fume that teases the senses and poisons the mind. If it doesn't smell like a forest, sound like a forest, or look like a forest...
As for the calls, they don't sound like any bird Sakura will be familiar with. Any bird at all.
Adir holds Sakura more tightly, for her and himself, looking around at the trees a little wildly. "Sakura, just relax, okay? As long as we stay on the path, we'll be fine..."
They've been walking in a straight line since leaving town.
That path had an awful lot of twists and turns.
To their right, orange orbs flicker on in the dark, each the size of a basketball, their glow sudden and harsh. Like floodlights dangling in space.
River
"Not so good at this, are you?" Legion says flatly, standing and turning sideways, running the water through her hair before wringing it out. Droplets of water trail down her sides. The Lady's a vision of beauty, and she very well seems to know it. She turns her head, and her eyes fall to Jasper again. "Well? Getting in? You said it's not too cold..."Last edited by Murkus; 2011-09-26 at 01:00 AM.

Re: [Nexus] Outside XXVI

"Well, I did teleport us about fifty miles in the blink of an eye." Jasper says, sticking his tongue out childishly, before wading back into the river towards Legion.

Re: [Nexus] Outside XXVI

"Fifty miles? Wow." Legion can't help but be impressed. "I gotta wonder where you're keeping that coin."
The Lady smirks a little, clearly pleased with Jasper's assessment. She brushes her hair down with her hands, letting it fall around her face. Legion's been letting it get pretty long lately, even down past her shoulders. "That sounded like a compliment. I thought sirens had to sing, too."
Lost
The lights start to move, rearing up to touch the sky, rolling toward the pair like a force rather than some great and terrible creature.
It's passing makes no sound, and shatters no tree. In fact, there don't see to be any trees to shatter anymore.
Adir freezes like a deer in the headlights, unsurprisingly. Oh dear.Last edited by Murkus; 2011-09-26 at 01:37 AM.

Re: [Nexus] Outside XXVI
EtherAin Estate
Jakob gets settled in his quarters and waits for the servant to depart. After he's gone, the giant's form begins to melt sublimating skin and muscle away until he's no larger than a teenage boy. He now stands at 5'6", and has a well groomed head of short black hair. Unless the manor is shielded against teleportation, a pair of knives and a set of six footlong spikes shimmer into being on the ground in front of him. Even if he doesn't have his new weapons, he'll still lay down on the now more appropriately sized bed and begin to hibernate until he's needed. Unless his door is opened, he won't wake for anything short of a full scale attack.Julie, everyone's nth favorite succubus, by Gulaghar.
