Default [Nexus] Home 13: Insert Silly Title Here

There's no place like home. Whether in the suburbs of Inside, a desolate mountain cabin, a dingy flat somewhere... this is where PCs live. This is a meta-location, as the houses themselves may be many miles apart from one another. Or in separate dimensions.

If you want an address in this thread, please PM me and I will post the locations in this post.

Examples:
Spoiler


================================================

OOC Rules:

1. Please post location tags on each post. Ex: [123 Generic Drive] or [Doe House]

2. The players who own each residence control what goes on within it. A residence is a quasi-PC and cannot be godmodded. You can attempt to break in / burn it down / knock on the door, etc, but it is up to the player controlling the home to let you know what happens next. If a player wants to make their home entirely impervious to everything, that is their right (however boring that might be). Players are permitted to make additional ooc rules if they want that apply to their own homes. By entering their property, you are agreeing to roleplay within their cosmology.

3. Play nice. Any disagreements between players, please take it to one of the OOC threads or PMs.

Fortress Mountain

Actually, they haven't.

In many ways, Riv is a better boss than you'd think. Constantly yelling, perpetually angry, unimaginably unreasonable and a truly worthless human being, yes. But at least his employees don't have to face an eternity of being torturously butchered and then dragged back to their life of servitude. If I was stuck doing grunt work for either of the two, I'd pick Excelsior over AMEN any day.

That said, don't mistake any of that for kindness on Riv's part. He's simply too apathetic and drunk to devote more effort than a slew of curse words or spiteful kick in tormenting his minions.

So no, being turned inside out and disassembled alive is definitely the worst thing to over befall poor Lawrencium and Borium, and they scream wretchedly for as long as they have the lungs to do so.

Riv, Riv just starts running like all hell's at his back, a more or less accurate assessment of the situation. He's heading for the huge steel door to the airlock, which has already begun to creak open to facilitate his escape. Which in turn would indicate other eyes on the scene looking to help their 'fearless' leader. Clarissa might wish to finish her business here ASAP. Reinforcements are on the way.

And through all this, Day's been slowly recovering from taking the brunt of a lead hailstorm. Already the shallower of his wounds have vanished, leaving only streaks and splotches of red on otherwise perfect skin in their wake, while the steady flow of blood from his more serious injuries is dwindling to a halt.

Kate's Apartment

Kate opens the door and steps inside.

"Kate, that you?"

"Yeah. Mintbalm's here, do you mind?"

"Mind? No, I want to talk to her."


Kate will wave for Mintbalm to come in.

Kate's Apartment

Mintbalm steps into the apartment, looking around curiously. It's been a while since she last visited the apartment, and she's trying to pick out anything that changed in the intervening time.

"So what do you want to talk about Sophie? I just came over to change clothes and stuff, since Kate's apartment was closer than the mall." She adds to explain her presence.

Kate's Apartment

Sophie is in a tank top. She's surprisingly athletic looking, has a rather wavy and full head of rich brown hair, has an amazing build... at least the parts that are human, anyway. She really lucked out on that.

"Mintbalm, what does it smell like in here to you? I know it sounds odd, but... really, what does it smell like?"

It smells like... a meadow after a rain storm. That kind of fresh, vibrant, this place is full of life smell. In an apartment.

In an apartment.

"And is it just me, or does it feel... odd in here? Or maybe not odd, but... I don't know, comfy? But in an odd way? I don't know."


Mintbalm might notice the fairy magic in the room. It's not too thick, but it is noticeable to people that are familiar with it.

Kate, for example, just looks confused.

"Not really odd, no." Mintbalm tilts her head, concentrating a bit to try and feel what Sophie is describing, "Comforting, I guess? It's a very nice apartment. It doesn't smell like an apartment though, you're right. It smells more like a park than the park we just left, only it's like springtime in here instead of autumn like out there."

The pixie shrugs. She had just attributed the smell to an air freshener that Kate had set up. Was it really that odd? She does change the subject once she gets a good look at Sophie though, "Wow, you wound up really pretty like that. Kate mentioned you were having some trouble adjusting though, right? Anything I can do to help?"

"Probably not, I don't know... it's just... no offense, but human bodies are kind of needy."
She shifts a bit, in that "I'm not sure if I'm comfortable in my body" way.

"Now that you mention it, I smell it, too. Where's that coming from?" Kate goes off, sniffing at the air...

Mintbalm giggles, "None taken. It gets way easier when you learn some basic fey magic though. I mean, the clothes thing never really stops being an issue unless you want people to yell at you or stare creepily, but you can pretty much take care of the rest with no real effort once you figure out what you can do with your powers." Assuming Sophie didn't pop into Grigdom with oddly specialized powers like hyper-cooking.

"Anyway, Kate can probably change you back if she thinks outside of the box a bit, or I could try. It's really not fair to leave you with half a new body if you don't want it like that."

"Well, what kind of powers do fairies have? And how do I use them? I've never had anything to do with magic before." She seems interested now. "I mean, having cool enough magic might make up for this." She tugs on the tank top, obviously uncomfortable with it.

Rachel gives a sly grin. Having fun sounds fun. But, we probably won't wanna do much after that, and there's still plenty of time left today.

Oh, I know! We can try out our pool!

Such deadtime seems to give Rachel the speed advantage on changing and getting to the pool!

Once Alilia gets there, Rachel is already by the pool, waiting with a grin.

Mintbalm giggles a bit more, "Well, you should be able to use your magic no matter what you look like, now that you're a grig. Fey don't lose their powers just because someone else turns them into a newt. As for just fey in general? It really usually depends on the specific person and what they're good at, but some, like pixies, can do a little bit of everything. I... really don't know how grig magic works mechanically. For pixies, you just make some dust and whatever you want to happen happens through the dust. For grigs, all I've figured out from watching them is that it almost always happens directly through skin contact. So really, all I can think to suggest is touch something, think about what you're good at, and will stuff to happen. If it works even a little, then you'll have something to go on."

Sophie thinks for a minute, and then touches one of the straps on her tank top, and... nothing happens. "I kind of wish that magic came with error logs."

"You and me both," comments Kate as she comes out of her room. "I can't figure out where the smell is coming from. It's just all throughout the apartment."
