[Nexus] The Nest/Karyana's Forest III:

[The Bushranger]

[Forest 3]

Dani is indeed accompanying Karyana, and she looks around in amazement!

"Wow. This place is so so cool!"

[C'nor]

[Forest 3]

Karyana grins happily, and says "Thanks, Dani. I'm glad you like it.

[The Bushranger]

Forest 3

"I do. It's beautiful!"
Dani, needless to say, makes a beeline for the spring.

[C'nor]

[Forest 3]

Karyana keeps grinning, and follows Dani, quite obviously pleased that shelikes it here.

This is all just so confusing... I think I should talk to my God for guidance.

Karyana shakes her head.

"Ally, considering the fact that your god has been using you as a pawn, and lying to you to do it, that's probably not the best idea."

[Beans]

[Moor]
Paisley and Zwei are being lead around by everyone's favorite odd vampire girl.

[C'nor]

[Moor]

The moor is beautiful, but in a desolate way, very unlike the other sections of Karyana's realm.

There are pools of water about, surrounded by black marsh-grass, and the sky is a deep blue. Two moons hang above them, shedding a cold, blue-white light on the scene.

Either of them might notice a pale hand beneath the surface of one of the pools.

[Tsiln]

Karyana and Tsiln have presumably arrived. If so, they're likely towards the top of the Tree, in a small, circular room.

[Beans]

[Moor]
Paisley sees the hand and bends down to look at it!
---
[Tsiln]
So where do we go now?

[C'nor]

[Moor]

The hand belongs to a tall woman, with bone-white skin, floating under the water. She's wearing a blue dress, nad has shoulder length blond hair, tinged faintly with green.

[Tsiln]

"Anywhere you want."

The room is lined with windows, each showing a different part of the dimension. There's a building that appears to be made completely of dinosaur bones, the moor, the desert with the city, what appears to be a space station, and what looks like a castle made entirely of lava. In addition, there's a mirror that appears to lead to Karyana's room here.

[Beans]

[Moor]
Paisley goes to touch her hand, unafraid of things.
---
[Tsiln]
DINOSAUR BONE WORLD!
She runs to that window, excited.

The thief steps back and Scowls. Canignis has helped me out since I was a little girl. He's like the father I never had. He might lie to me, but he would never use me like that and if you don't shut up and nod in agreement I'll punch you in your cute face.
Although her words are definitely threatening, Ally isn't really angry with Karyana. Just giving her a friendly warning in her own... special way.

[C'nor]

[Moor]

The hand is cold, as is the water. In fact, they seem to be the same temperature. The woman is unmoving when touched, and her eyes seem to be staring off into space through the clear water.

[Tsiln]

It overlooks the inside of a large building, with a vaulted ceiling. The supports for it are made of many ribs, with pillars formed from hundreds of vertebrae, and the floors, walls, and ceiling are skulls and the rest of the bones, laid out in intricate mosaics. They range in size from brontosaur to archaeopteryx, depending on what they need to do.

[Ally]

Karyana nods.

"Alright. I'm just worried about you, okay? Something has to have caused the disconnect."

[Beans]

[Moor]
Paisley giggles; Zwei looks on in confusion.
---
[Tsiln]
She tries to enter the dino world, totally stoked for this rad business.

[C'nor]

[Moor]

"What's funny, Paisley?"

[Tsiln]

Tsiln will have no problems getting in, and should arrive on a balcony inside the building, with mid-size leg bones forming a railing, Karyana close behind.

[Beans]

[Moor]
What's this dead lady doing here?
---
[Tsiln]
She runs around looking at whatever she can in excitement.

[C'nor]

[Moor]

Karyana looks very startled for a moment.


"What? Oh... It's probably one of the Nixies. If it is, she's just messing with you."

[Tsiln]

Karyana follows, grinning.

Tsiln will find that it's much like a museum, except that some of the skeletons, such as a small pterosaur, are animated, and that there are windows onto spaces containing live dinosaurs.

Speaking of which, said pterosaur skeleton tries to land on Tsiln's shoulder.

[Beans]

[Moor]
Nixies?
What're those?
---
[Tsiln]
Cue excited squeeing and trying to pet it.

[C'nor]

[Moor]

"Waterfae."

At this point, the pale woman sits up, and smiles at Paisley.

[Tsiln]

It rubs against her hand like a cat, apparently quite pleased with being petted.

[Beans]

[Moor]
Oooh! Hi!
Ghost girl waves.
---
[Tsiln]
She enjoys being able to pet it, giggling almost madly.

[C'nor]

[Moor]

The Nixie waves back, and extends her hand.

"Hi. I'm Talia. You?"

[Tsiln]

Karyana watches her happily, grinning, pleased that Tsiln is enjoying this.

[Beans]

[Moor]
She shakes it.
Paisley. Nice to meet you!
----
[Tsiln]
After a while, she turns to grin at Karyana.

[C'nor]

[Moor]

She smiles at the ghost girl.

"It's nice to meet you, too. What are you doing here, though? Karyana's the only one that ever comes out here, or at least the only one I've met."

[Tsiln]

Karyana grins back, and goes to hug the Execuloth.

[Beans]

[Moor]
Oh, she owns me now, so that's why I'm here.
---
[Tsiln]
She hugs her tightly.

[The Bushranger]

Forest 3

Dani heads to the water's edge, where she kicks off her shoes and promptly goes to stick her feet in.

[C'nor]

[Moor]

"She owns you?"

[Tsiln]

"I'm glad you like it, Tsiln. I'd hate to have made this for you and have it not be something nice."

[Forest 3]

Karyana sits down next to her, boots disolving back into her feet, and starts to concentrate.

[Beans]

[Moor]
It's complicated but yep.
---
[Tsiln]
... You made this for me?
She blinks, then hugs her even more, bouncing and twirling the vampire girl around in glee.
THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU!

[C'nor]

[Moor]

"Okay..."

Talia looks back at the vampire in a way that suggests that they're going to have a talk about this later.

[Tsiln]

Karyana returns the tightening of the hug, and seems quite happy to be twirled and bounced.

"You're welcome, Tsiln. And yes, I made this specifically for you."

[Beans]

[Moor]
Paisley smiles, oblivious to the look Karyana's getting.
---
[Tsiln]
She giggles.
You're always so nice to me.

[C'nor]

[Moor]

Talia looks back at Paisley, and returns the smile.

"So, how long are you going to be able to stay for?"

[Tsiln]

"Of course I am. I'm your friend."
