"You still have a while to decide what you want to do, though. The world's your oyster and all that." Ashley says this, shortly before also glancing at Zee. She wonders what was going on.
More glances for Zee. "Yeah, you're right. Right now I'm on sort of a going out into the world kind of deal."

"Zee?" Subject change, success. "Uh, I gotta check on her." Sakura stands and goes over to Zee. "Are you okay, Zee?"
Ashley looks very concerned for Zee, but doesn't think she can do anything for her. So, she continues talking to Genevieve. "I did that for a while, back in my world. It was more self-imposed for me, though."
Then rubs her eyes and groans. From her body language one might suspect she has a head-ache.
"Sorry. I just woke up. It always leaves me feeling a little groggy for a while."
Eerr...
Zee has been awaken in the tavern for the past several hours. She couldn't have possibly just woken up unless she's talking about...
...oh.
Oh dear...
"I know Bellan. This is... this is really big. Lots of things are happening all at once. Too many things happening all at once for it to be chance. Someone is trying to force my hand, trying to force That Day."
Something about the way she says it...
Sakura is offered a weak smile. "If you can contact the rest of Watchtower please do. They're going to have their work cut out for them."

Font colour changes are ominous. "I can go back there right away, but what do I tell them?" She has no clue what 'That Day' could possibly be. Sounds bad though, and she can't help but think of the fact that Adir might have to put himself in danger again.
Looks like Watchtower's gonna get a plotclone influx.

"It's a great way to learn. Thre's only so much you can learn by being taught, you have to use it." Genevieve pauses. "But, I guess it was different for you because you were never taught."
"Sixth wheel above." Bellan says, eyes wide but not panicked. His hand falls to his forehead. "Is it just the Nexus? Or is it spreading?"

"Oh geeze... I don't know..." Zee rests her face in her hands. How do you tell someone about something like this? "Tell them it's the end of the world that they've been preparing to stop. I guess that's pretty accurate..."
She takes a deep breath, trying to figure out how to put all this.
"My kin are stirring. If they awaken this world will be consumed in flames of revelry and insanity. And then my Mother and The Corpse God will take whoever survives."
...that sounds really bad.
"There are people and things trying to wake them up. Several of them working independently of each other right now, though toward the same end goal. Whether they know it or not."
Zee bites her lip.
"If... this starts here in the Nexus it could cascade to every world the Nexus touches..."

Sakura's eyes get nice and big and wide through this description. "I'll tell them." She nods to Zee then returns to Reis.
"I have to go back to Watch. Something bad is happening and they need to know." She bites her lip nervously. And she thought she had worries before.
________________
Genevieve nods her agreement, but the topic is abruptly changed for good reason. The witch catches the back half of the description. A frown settles on her face. "Nothing good..."
Bellan's brow furrows, and he shifts restlessly. Alone, he wasn't sure how much he could do if the end came to it's fruition.
"Is there still time to stop those who are touching the Outside? The creatures starting all this?"

Ashley feels very justified despair, but then a sudden spark of probably misplaced hope appears in her eyes. "What if we stopped these things that are trying to wake them up, like this man said? That would help, right?"
Jacob's eyes widen, especially at the last part about 'all the worlds the Nexus touches'.
"My home..." he whispers under his breath.
He sits back heavily. The end of the world. Of all worlds, perhaps. A catastrophic event so grand in scope that he could barely manage to comprehend it. And what could he possibly do? He was just a mortal that could shoot a bow well. He'd have to sit back and hope for the best. He looks down at the empty glass of whiskey.

"I have to go back to Watch. Something bad is happening and they need to know." She bites her lip nervously. And she thought she had worries before.
Reis nods slowly, and waves the girl off to go deliver her important message.
"Oh, wings of Angels. Fail me not yet." He turns to Zee, his expression quite serious. "I'm afraid my abilities in fighting aren't enough to aid in stopping those setting this in motion. I am but a simple wandering minstrel. Do you know of anything I could aid with?"
((Minor Downtimez.))

Prometheus walks into the tavern, looking distracted, to say the least. He seems to twitch every few seconds, his eyes constantly darting around, looking even though he doubts he'll find what he Seeks. It's been too long since he last answered the siren song of the Objects, the call to Seek, and it's worn away on his patience and concentration like a drill through butter. Sitting down at the bar and trying to not think of anything to do with the Objects, Prometheus orders himself a drink.

Andy enters the bar. He looks around just to sight that the person he is seeking isn't here as well. He will go to the bar and order himself a drink. He then lean against the bar and took a look at the visitors of the bar.

Sakura nods to Reis and then speeds off to Watchtower at high speeds.

Genevieve on the other hand isn't quite so sure how to react to this all. She'll just listen to what's going on intently. She doesn't like this one bit though.
((Ooof, sorry. Internets imploded before I could post.))
Getting drunk is always a great way to ward off end of the world blues!
"Hurry," Zee calls after the dryad. One word. But the need for haste is there none the less.
She then nods to the giant and Ashley.
"Yes. If we can stop them then it'll delay the end. It isn't supposed to be happening yet. It's too soon."
Clearly that's why Zee's as shocked as she is. ...and that tendril coming out of her back still looks really weird. Almost like...
Almost as if she's nothing more than a puppet on strings. Or a lure at the end of a line.
"Off hand I know of..." one of her eyes twitches a little. "Cultists of Cthulhu are attempting to awaken him. But one of their sacrifices has escaped. A necromancer is trying to awaken..."
Zee shakes her head.
"...I'm not sure who yet. I don't recognize them. That isn't too surprising though, I've got lots of cousins. There are illithid here in the Nexus that are trying to reunite Thoon's scattered remains. Someone has glutted the blood-moon. That could very well rouse Mnomquah, which would be bad obviously. And the Creeping Fog has descended on the coast nearby. I'm not sure who summoned it, but if it sticks around too long it could wake up The One Not To Be Named."
Probably not talking about a wizard who doesn't have a nose with that last one.
Then the mistrial speaks up!
Zee offers as reassuring of a smile as she can muster.
"Just because you can't fight doesn't mean you can't help. A sharp mind is just as useful as a sharp blade. Especially in situations like these. It's going to be difficult for me to act on a small scale while I'm awake and I'll need all the help I can get. If you really want to help you can start by trying to get an idea of what we're up against here," she explains. "There's a library on Arkham Street, Philip Memorial. They're have a rare books section. Go there and tell the librarian 'K'rax-Naggath slumbers no more,' He'll give you two books and a scroll. Don't read or open them, burn them and scatter the ashes in the sea."

Ah yes, your contract. One of our members is working on acquiring a box that prevents teleportation in which to put the coin. Without that, we won't get anywhere. When we have it, we'll make plans for actually getting the coin.
