| We all fall down... |
[Jan. 22nd, 2012|10:35 pm] |
It was a fairly nice day in the Nexus. The weather was mild, for winter, and there was plenty of hustle and bustle around as people went about their daily lives. The ever obtrusive sign remained, flashing obnoxiously, when a portal close to it opened. For a moment, it looked like it was snowing in that area, and nothing more, when something fell out of it. Landing with a whump, the body of a young woman lies amongst the pile of, upon closer inspection appears to be, ash. There are no visible wounds on the body, save a large burn scar over her right eye, which, while clearly was painful, has healed. Anyone with a nose can smell the stench of burned bodies on her. |

| (OPEN) Where have I fallen? I can't get back up. |

Sola fell from the sky, face planting into the pole of a sign. She lifted her head in agony,reading the sign. "Ask a Question" it read. "Fine. Where there hell am I? I was singing on stage when I landed here. Don't be afraid, I only bite my husband," she bit her cheek, waiting for a reply. |

Zelgadis was loitering around the Sign. "There needs to be a better way to deal with LOLs, doesn't there?"
He looks fine, but not all LOLs are physical. |

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.] |

Ken has appeared in the Nexus once before, but only briefly. He and Wormmon study the sign, before Ken speaks up.
"What anniversaries do you remember?"
Wormmon looks at him, antennae dropping. "You don't have to ask such a depressing question, Ken."
"They could be happy ones too. Or ones that are both happy and sad." |

Here is a young woman who has been wandering up and down streets for some time now. She is doing her best to appear inconspicuous and nonchalant, with limited success. It probably does not help that she is exuding nervousness and paranoia; head low, hat pulled down, eyes darting back and forth behind the glasses that she doesn't actually need.
When the sign catches her eye, she stares for a long moment, trying to figure out what it's advertising. Detergent, maybe? Insurance? Religion? All that viral marketing stuff is lost on her, she supposes.
There is a question that nags at the back of her mind, the same one she asks herself every morning, but she doesn't see any point in saying it out loud. Instead, she asks: "What are you selling?" |

Zelgadis looks irritated. Not an unusual look for him, honestly. He is seated, with a guitar, and is trying to pick out chords and a melody -- usually it goes for a couple of bars before you get discord and him making a disgusted sound before giving up for a bit. "How do you get rid of a song stuck in your head? I've already tried other songs."
There is also a bouquet of flowers next to him. Feel free to ask about that.
[OOC Note: Zel is suffering from Shader's LOL. He's got this little NSFW ditty* stuck in his head, and should he sing it aloud, it will spread.
* Just linked the lyrics, so should be okay if you don't want to have surprise audio. If you do -- here's a (auto-play, sorry) video of someone signing to the song with bilingual captions.] |

Havoc can remember his first unintentional visit to the Nexus. It had been just after Katherine's rejection, which had been on the heels of Mustang steeling one of the ladies that he'd had his eye on and even asked out.
Since then his life has changed, trapped in the Nexus, meeting alts, suffering LOLs, finding his way home and saving his world only to end up back here, then his Mustang and Hawkeye finding their way here and bringing him home. He'd been a second lieutenant when he first came, now he was a major. Friends that were single were now happily married. Havoc had fallen in and out of love.
Now, years from that first entrance, Havoc strolls in, slumping down onto the couch. "So you ever think you're cursed when it comes to something?" Havoc asks, "Like relationships?"
Somethings never change. |

| Is this part of the dream? |

Nyneave stands looking up at the sign, her long waist length braid clutched in one hand. "I don't think I've heard of this in the world of dreams before. A question hmmm? Seems pretty quiet around here, not sure if I'll get any answers. But stranger things have happened in the dream. So why do woolbrained fools tell you to send for them and they will come if you need them, when they are half way across the world? Don't they realize that if you need them, you need them then, not days later?" |

| Have you seen Mr Jones? |
[Jan. 31st, 2008|10:22 pm] |
Jack sauntered into the Nexus with his usual confidence before asking "What would be the worst way to die?" he paused before adding "Would you choose to be immortal?" he asked. He grinned "oh and anyone seen Ianto Jones? Gorgeous hot Welsh boy?" |
