But meep is so over-used...

Just one example of a Meep!

I vote Otalots.

Otalot is singular. Otalots is plural. Nice and simple.

Switching to Otalots, then, since it now has a shot at winning.

Alexandrian, I'll try to get a post up for Trium in Outside soon.

I'm going to vote for Ollies.

I'd vote Otalot, but whenever I see Otalot, I think 'Oshawott' or whatever that pokemon's called. I'm not sure why I'm not keen on Meep, but I'm not voting for it.

>_>

<_<

Okay.

I can clearly see where this is going. To borrow on Rein's idea...

*ahem*

Referred to by the scholarly community of the Nexus as the Nexu genus, this widely varied group of organisms differs drastically based on its environment. Specific epitaphs are usually assigned based on the location the species frequents or even other organisms it strikes a resemblance to.

No doubt due to their multifarious nature many colloquial names for Nexu exist. The three most common are 'Ollie', derived from the animal's habit of playfully leaping into the air, 'Meep' due to one of its most distinctive vocalizations, and 'Otalot' due to its uncanny resemblance of both the Otter and the Ocelot.

Though interbreeding between species of Nexu is not terribly uncommon they tend to reproduce within their own species due to geographical isolation and differences in breeding displays.

There, how's that =P

There's a glitch-beast trapped in Inside! D=
It's big and orange and creepy, but it's also stuck and sad. It's not going to be able to move until someone or something lets it free. Or kills it. One of the two.
Will anyone step up?

Right now, for anyone with a GLoG PC or practically any PC who could be there, can have one show up to watch and listen to Pathfinder'sStory if they want. It's just going to be one post, but it'll be lengthy and entertaining. Especially for the children and younger people. It's open to pretty much anyone, but it's not truly a plot.

Ah, Rebo, 'fraid I might not have been quite clear enough in my last post. Dwayne isn't hiding. In fact, considering that he's likely making a lot of noise running up the fire-escape and wearing a gaudy multicolored magic cape, it would be darn hard to miss him.

Orb, DEB, where are T'rissylene and Prism at the moment, and just what is going on now that it's clear that my character isn't the person brought to the back room by Bellan? It's sort of confusing, and I need to know before I post for Lellienth...

Man, quite the menagerie gathered for Pathfinder's story. Dragons, halflings, humans, goblins, wolfen, huldra...
Also, C'Nor - is it possible to simply avoid the shadow noose your character is using in the Inside scene or tear it away with your hands? Otherwise, I'm somewhat inclined to call sheneniagans.

As noted in the post, if he can spot a thing of shadows coming up over his shoulder and around his neck, then get out of the way before it links with itself, yes, it can be avoided.

As for tearing it away, that is theoretically possible, but it depends on how much strength he has whether or not it's possible for him.

Alright, that works for me. Thanks for clarifying. However, I'm still wary of a character attacking others while being tucked away in some shadow-plane, but let's not get ahead of ourselves.

You're welcome. I'm glad I was able to clear up the confusion.

And that could cause some issues, yes. Though if they notice the wonky effects and decide to call a mage in, it's certainly possible to get to her.

They already have called a combat caster in, but it'll take a while for him to arrive. I'm generally rather leery of magic-using characters that are immune to all non-magic attempts at attacking.

I can see that. Though in her case, the immunity is going to be temporary, as hanging out in Shadowside for too long tends to make her start attracting the less cautious of its denizens, which will be distracting enough that she can't really affect Inside, and she can't use the entirety of her powers to affect Inside from Shadowside.

Uhm, hi. I think some of you might have noticed that I had disappeared for a while, and I apologise deeply for that. m(_ _)m

I have had a lot of homework and general panic-inducing time management issues lately, but I believe I will be able to keep up with the Nexus again now! ^_^

I would be very grateful if you could poke me to any posts I need to reply to, if it is not a problem.
