| A difficult question |

Mokou sits down in front of the sign, and very casually sets it a flame, only to watch it return almost instantly. She sighs quietly. "If only everything were like this sign. It wouldn't be such a curse.. or perhaps it'd be the worst fate. I can never really tell."
She pauses and looks around, then slumps slightly, crossing her legs. "How does one bring the dead back?" |

| A question, for the peanut gallery |

Envy stops underneath the Sign, holding a cup full of ice water. His face seems a little red, probably from the sun. He sips the ice water, and sits down on a Nexus Ice Block.
"So," Envy says slowly. "What do you think is the best thing about summer? I like the fact heat makes interesting mirages." |

Paul showed up at the sign, his left arm cradled to his chest in a sling and hand wrapped in a cast. He adjusts his glasses before speaking up. "Have you ever experienced loss of a limb?" he asked. "I'm finding cooking to be a terrible chore with only one hand." |

Normally people just walk into the Nexus. It's not every day that a large, flying beast lands there. But it seems to be domesticated, if the saddle on its back is any indication. A young boy jumps off, uncaring about the fact his mount was easily three times his height. A small, chittering winged lemur landed on his shoulder.
The boy looked around, surveying the Nexus. "This place hasn't changed much, has it? I wonder if anyone remembers me?" He paused on the sign. "Well, I guess I should ask a real question. How long is it after a war for things to heal?"
Aang sat down, waiting to see what would happen. |

Someone had pushed a flowercart into the Nexus, under the Sign. A cheerful banner proclaims "Happy Valentines' Day!" with other signs saying "Sweets for your Sweetheart" and "Flowers for your Flower" . Buckets of water stand inside the cart, filled to the brim with roses of various colors. On either side stand stacks of chocolate boxes and racks of bags of conversation hearts. The entire thing is done up with more pink and hearts than a little girl's bedroom. There's no attendant in site, nor are prices marked.
[OOC: LOL Instructions: The roses' thorns are extra in-the-way and able to pierce through anything, and one prick (stop snickering) will cast a spell of altered emotion on the holder. Your choice who it affects: first person seen, changing the character's strongest relationship... whatever seems like a good idea. Here's how the flower colors match up:
[Red: love
White: reverence/loyalty
Yellow: friendship
Pink: admiration
Orange: passion/lust
Lilac: infatuation
[In departure from Nexus tradition, the candy is safe, free and utterly delicious. If you want to risk eating food lying around in the Nexus, that is.] |

Paul usually sat in the gardens of the Elric Apartments with his Bible, studying its words, but today, he was at the sign. And he was pacing a big while he reads, fingering his rosary like worry beads. "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends," he finally said. "John, fifteen, thirteen."
He sighed, closing the book, careful of a piece of paper that tried to flutter out from somewhere in the early Old Testament. "These are noble words to live by, but terribly frightening. There are terrible things going on in my homeland right now, and I am in a unique position to try to help before it gets worse. But I have been advised to stay here for my own safety. What would you do in my position?" |

Roy wanders into the nexus, blatantly confused. "Damn. I thought this was somewhere else..." He's kind of angry about it, but when he notices the question thing, he shrugs.
"Alright...uh, should I biased on my friend's split personalities?" Because seriously, it's been bugging him. |

| Question about atheists (you're related to.) |

Chrono has the look of someone who'd like to punch someone in the nose. He's taking a long walk into the Nexus to cool down after a hot debate that nearly ended in the traditional Sinner manner: Someone getting impaled or frozen in time. "Say you have a relative, and say that he has some very extreme issues when it comes to religion--he's an atheist and he thinks your personal beliefs are funny--how would you get him to knock it off without knocking his head off his shoulders?" |

A woman is staggering into the Nexus. It looks like she might have been attending something well to-do, as she is wearing an elegant sheath dress and pantyhose. On the other hand, the sunglasses kind of contrast with the black-tie nature of her clothing, and her hair is down and she's missing her shoes.
She looks around. For those residents of the Nexus that notice such things, her entire body is wary, tense, as if she's expecting something to jump out at her. Though you can't see her eyes behind her shades, her head darts back and forth. She catches the sign, then looks away, wincing. "Jesus Christ, I can see that through my glasses."
"I suppose 'is this the afterlife's waiting room?' is too obvious a question, huh?" She takes a seat in one of the Nexus Couches, leaning forward as if interested in what you have to say. Her hand goes for something that she is apparently not carrying, then she frowns. "Fine. I'll open things up with a real question. What ideals do you think are important enough to die for?" |

| Favorite quote? |
[Jul. 2nd, 2010|11:01 pm] |
There is a Catholic priest in the Nexus. He stands about 5'10" with short cropped brown hair and brown eyes of a peculiarly honey-toned shade. He studied the sign for a long moment, then finally turns to the people around the sign. "What is your favorite quote?" he asks in a thick German accent. "Mine comes from the Bible, from Ruth. 'Entreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God.'"
((Yes, this is an Ed in disguise, no, your character doesn't get to recognize him. :P)) |
