[Nexus] HALO 174: Just when you think you're not in Kansas anymore, turns out you are - Page 9

Beans · 10-06-2012, 03:15 PM

... Wait, you're a princess...
What does that make me, besides lacking the padding I'll probably need for future glomps like this?
It's so damn easy to forget she's a princess, even if you're wanting to marry her!
---
Carrie herself is quite easy to find, staring out a window at some pretty coral.

FireFox · 10-06-2012, 03:20 PM

Blushing a little, Kyne follows Chris. Could you... just check if she even wants to see me?

The foxgirl shrugs, massively indifferent to this sort of thing. A princess-in-law? I don't know. Right now, Matt's the heir to the throne, but that could get changed to Jamie or even Hadrian. Pretty sure we won't have to do anything official...

Chris smiles reassuringly. "Yeah, yeah no problem."

Chris then turns around and walks towards Carrie. He places a hand on her shoulder. "Hey there honey."

Beans · 10-06-2012, 03:28 PM

That's good... can we get up now?
She giggles. Your figure is lovely, but I like being on top rather more.
---
Hi, dear! What's up?

FireFox · 10-06-2012, 03:32 PM

Angela bounces up and rights the toppled chair with a giggle. What kind of wedding do you want?

Meanwhile, as part of the fangirl contingency plan, a Tom Hiddleston android is walking around the base, electrified enough to knock out anyone who glomps him.

Beans · 10-06-2012, 03:38 PM

I'm not sure, other than one with a substantial number of bared midriffs.
She giggles.
What sort do you want?

FireFox · 10-06-2012, 03:41 PM

Hmm... Maybe a big one. Everyone else who got married here either eloped like Matt and Ari or had a small private wedding, like my parents. Angela grins. We both have goddess powers, so money isn't an obstacle. We can have a really big event!

O-oh...
She blinks, and thinks a while.
Um.
I...

... I don't want to spend the rest of my life tiptoeing around her about this...
I'm ready.
---
She nods.
You should have all your followers be your bridesmaids! I can have Carrie and Fiain and Karyana and... oh dear, that does leave me rather outnumbered, doesn't it?

Mee · 10-06-2012, 03:49 PM

Weeeeell . . .
Civvy's around!
She's not doing terribly much at the moment, but she's around! Somewhere.

Rotting Baron · 10-06-2012, 03:52 PM

The unnamed bandaged man is wandering around the base, and discovering that it isn't at all like the HALO he knew.

FireFox · 10-06-2012, 03:53 PM

Kyne hears what Carrie says, swallows nervously, and steps around the corner. She's still wearing her black armor and has the scar on her neck revealed. She tries to meet the winged goddess' eyes and braces herself for the worst.

Only counting active PCs, aren't Angela's priestesses just Patty, Dani, and Tsiln? Or am I missing somebody?

Or you can be the groom and pick a best man who can throw you an awesome bachelor party! Angela giggles some more.

Well, it could be awkwardly hilarious if he were to run into Civvy in a random hallway.

Chris nods his head, and gives her a kiss on the forehead. "Thanks love." Chris walks towards Kyne and nods his head. "She'll see you. If you want, I can wait outside, or I can stay here either way."

Rotting Baron · 10-06-2012, 03:56 PM

The bandaged man notices Civvy, and freezes in place. He has to remind himself that this isn't the Goddess of Despair, and barely notices that his hand is already nearing his revolver.

Well, Civvy's busy reading some sort of happy cheerful book, so she doesn't notice at all.
But she's humming adorably.

How can anything that friendly and adorable be eviiiil?

Beans · 10-06-2012, 04:02 PM

Uhhh... I guess?
I'm certainly scrawny enough to fit into a suit.
She giggles. But who would make a best enough man?
Tobias is extremely best.
---
Carrie sees Kyne and swallows, standing.
... Kyne.
I think I'm going to do two contradictory and predictable things right now, if that's okay.
She starts walking toward her.

FireFox · 10-06-2012, 04:09 PM

Chris? I don't know what other guys you know. Tobias is already giving Angela away at the wedding, though.

Kyne believes that Carrie is about to try to hurt her again, in a more physical manner this time. She could easily stop it, but figures that Carrie has the right to hit her at least once. What she is less sure about is if she's going to just accept the hit, or accept the hit and then hit back. So she just waits.

Beans · 10-06-2012, 04:19 PM

Carrie tries to grab her and abruptly bury her face in Kyne's chest by way of a sort of headbutt. And another. And another. Thump thump thump.
She begins to cry into her friend(?[?{?}])'s chest, but not before whimpering a little about Kyne's stupid meteor-iron carbonox adamantium sternum.
It's a pretty enthusiastic bout of tears she'll have.
---
I should just grab him and tell him we're going out drinking.

Rotting Baron · 10-06-2012, 04:20 PM

"This is not the bringer of Plague," the bandaged man says, mostly to himself. He allows his hand to relax, and somehow manages to look less tense.

If Civvy heard, she makes no move to do . . . well . . . anything about it.
She's lost in her book. And humming. Can't forget the humming.

FireFox · 10-06-2012, 04:32 PM

This... was not the attack Kyne was expecting. She also has no idea what it even means. So. Um. Do you want me to leave, or...?

Sounds fun! Unless you want me to make another psion character Sioda befriended during offscreen training. I could easily do that.

Beans · 10-06-2012, 04:36 PM

If you want to, that'd be cool, but I'm fine either way.
As "fine" I can be while considering putting honey mustard on my pizza for dinner tonight, that is.
---
No, I want you to awkwardly attempt to comfort me.
Carrie holds her tighter, sniffling.
---
Sioda stretches.
Cigars and brandy and Japanese Spider-Man time, then.
... That last one is Caledonia's fault.
Oh whoops that just happens to be my idea of awesomeness

FireFox · 10-06-2012, 04:44 PM

I think it would be a good way to intro a character who then goes on to be active in the wider Nexus, so yeah, I'll flesh out one of my ideas.

Kyne awkwardly pats Carrie's head. And then, unsure if she was sufficiently awkward or comforting, just has to say: I love you Carrie. And I'll kill the next person who makes you cry.

Cigars? Really? Angela doesn't even know anyone who smokes. Except Tobias and his badass pipe, of course.

Rotting Baron · 10-06-2012, 04:44 PM

The bandaged man doesn't care much about the humming. He just stands there in place, before turning sharply and beginning to walk back.

"I do appreciate you not shooting me. Just so you know."
Civvy says as he turns his back, though she never lifts her eyes from the book.
"Getting shot is no fun."

DoomITP · 10-06-2012, 04:54 PM

Evan can be found walking around the base as he looks for Civvy.

Rotting Baron · 10-06-2012, 04:55 PM

"I have no reason to," the bandaged man says, turning his head. "According to Vulpan, you are not the Civiron that killed me."

Civvy looks at him, one eyebrow raised.
"Well. That would explain the bandages, then.

I'm . . . sorry that I killed you?" She offers, having no other idea of what to say.

Beans · 10-06-2012, 04:57 PM

Only very occasionally, and I always change and brush my teeth and all afterward---I didn't think you'd like to kiss something smelling strongly of antique stores.
---
Carrie sniffles and looks up at her.
I love you too.
You kind of need to stop offering to murder people for me, but it's still kind of sweet.
((Briefish deadtime.))
