Ah, the Nexus. For those not appearing in person, there are terminals, vidscreens, blackboards...and artefact books? An old tome to be sure, open to a page inked with tight, slightly cramped handwriting:

With the solstice near upon, at the least in my realm, a question comes to mind:

To the rest of you, good folk, what - in your realm - is magic? What do you make of it?

An associate of mine has quite a talent for sleight of hand, chicanery and such that can give the appearance of sorcery, but that is all it is - sleight. Some cannot tell the difference.

True spellcraft is my art, but mine is for the most part transparent - abjuration, protective spells and subtle enchantments, the practical and the informational. Some might not call these things magic at all, for there is little spectacle to it.

But there is a different side to true spellcraft, conjuring creatures, tossing fireballs and lightning, raising the dead and shaping the earth. Such things are grand, they can be seen by all and sundry. This, to many, is 'real' magic.

What say you, for your realm and plane?

The Nexus is behaving oddly today. There's a water-filled shaft by the Sign.

It's a deep one, too, as is evidenced by the way it remains so still for a long while before the surface of the water suddenly begins to ripple and a blonde, finned head abruptly breaks the surface, oceanic eyes looking around boredly.

Then blinking, then looking again, then once again.

"...This is not the Caves of Menaces," the head's owner says suspiciously.

It's a light female voice, so those who are witnessing this whole spectacle probably won't be surprised to see a mermaid emerge from the water, her tail flicking powerfully to launch her out of the water and high into the air - from there, obviously having a flair for the dramatic, she neatly backflips to put herself out of range of the shaft's edges and glows briefly, landing from her jump on a pair of very nice legs and looking around once more. "Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever seen anything like this before. And these people...they're so strange," she murmurs, making another sweep of the area with her eyes and now spotting the Sign.

"That's painful." But she moves closer with a self-assured stride and squiiiints hard to make out what it's saying. "Ask a question? A question? I'm not going to ask a question. I don't take orders from strange signs. Especially when I don't know where I am."

"...So where in the world am I?"

Rain flops down on a couch and puts his feet up, laying his guitar against the arm of it beside him. "Most wonderful time of the year, my ass. For those of you that don't have family or friends, what do the holidays mean to you?"

Dec. 20th, 2009 @ 11:01 am River is dancing.

Current Mood:

excited

Bouncing around the sign area and making Dog yodel excitedly as the big animal romps with her.

"So!" says the young woman, grinning from ear to ear as she shoves her hair out of her face with her splinted right hand. "I have a job! I heard this guy talking about a tournament that was open to the Nexus, 'n went and kicked a few guys in armor's $@$@#@s, and now I'm the king of Lore's monster hunter! And the sweetest part? Fifty gold coins per monster."

"Which brings up my question." She stops and flops onto the arm of a couch and puts an arm around Dog's neck. "Anybody know what to do with gold coins?"

There seems to be a rather large malamute in the Nexus today... or maybe a black and white wolf? Either way, he's here, and seems to be searching for something, or someone. With an irritated growl, the canine transforms into a dog-like mech. "That slagger'd better not have gotten himself killed..." And then he sights the sign. Cue the cursing and averting of optics, "Slaaaag. Is that thing someone's idea of a sick joke, or what?"

[ Suddenly, in the middle of $area_name, there is a guy in a black cloak on an inexplicably tall chair stacked on top other chairs in an atrocity of logic. It's possible that he just stacked said chairs there, but much more likely that it's entirely spontaneous. Either way, it's probably going to fall over soon. ]

I'm preeeeeetty sure this isn't where I'm supposed to be. Just guessing, mind! [ A quick glance at a notecard aaaaand -- ] ... yeah, this is wrong. Oh well! Clearly I am lost and confused and not at all shirking my duties again, honest, Saïx, it was a genuine mistake! ... Yes. That'll work.

Does anyone have a ladder?

Hank was restless. He asked, "How long does it take to get over someone?" He was thinking of his wife. Her betrayal and her death were mere moments apart, arguably the same thing. The pain was like a hydra's bite, always coming from where he was least prepared. He'd always began to accept one aspect of his loss just before the other would twist it's blade in his heart. And hence, he asked strangers what they thought; perhaps it could serve as a signpost on his endless journey.

There is a child in the Nexus. Not an unusual thing but she is frowning as she wanders on and looks for a place to sit. Finally she sees a big chair and at a half hobble climbs up and sits down with a huff. She glances around then nervously fiddles with her coat before deciding it's perfectly okay to unzip it.

"I got into an argument at school with some girls. I've never hidden the fact I'm adopted. I'm proud of my family. But... But. They were very mean. I didn't do anything wrong. But they said my real Mommy and Daddy couldn't have loved me if I wasn't with them."

She blinks back anger. It is an unwritten rule with her that people don't get to talk badly about her family. She loves everyone and is well aware of what happened so long ago and other people don't get to know that stuff, just family. "I should be talking to Mama about this. But how do you tell people they're stuck up jerks and should just leave you alone? I know there's lots of not nice people out there... And dumb ones too. How do you get them to leave you alone?"

She starts to tug at the ends of her hair. She knows that given her luck and what little she remembers about the Nexus Mama is going to find out about this real fast. She also isn't supposed to call people jerks even if they're real mean so she is expecting Mama to appear at any minute to give her a stern look. Mama is magical that way.
