[NEXUS] OoC 11: The Misadventures Continue...

[Ashen Lilies]

Due to general agreement between people on both sides of the line, TOWN and ACRO have been merged. Thus, all threads which previously would have fallen in once category or another, should now be tagged [NEXUS].

LONG LIVE THE NEXUS!

So, what is Nexus?

Spoiler

Show

Well, the Nexus itself is like a rift, a single, brilliant point where all the universes in this strange thing we call 'reality' meet. Traveling to, from, and between any world or cosmology is theoretically possible here, and the Nexus itself seems to encourage this happening, often sucking beings and locations out of other universes at random, and dumping them on the world that lies at its center. It was not always like this, however. Once there were two worlds at the Nexus' heart, separate and distinct, though somewhat similar in ways. Similar enough that they slowly and eventually merged, so that only one remained. Here in this world the Nexus' influence reigns supreme, and as such the world has defied almost all attempts at classification. Here, knights of old may engage with Jedi knights. Gleaming spaceships land in Dark Age hamlets. Cowboys and samurai quest together to find holy sandwich boxes. And in the heavens above, Xi Wangmu and the Flying Spaghetti Monster meet every Woden's Day to play bowls with Pelor (it gets pretty epic). Here the possibilities are endless, and the universe without rules (except the Forum Rules, and the general FFRP rules, and the Individual Thread Rules, and oh whatever). Welcome to Nexus. Fun is had here.

Major Locales

Spoiler

Show

For an endless world that defies all logic and classification, Nexus can be pretty darn consistent at times. As such, several locations have survived the test of time, remaining (somewhat) constant amidst the chaos of the rest of the world.

Inside - Inside mostly resembles a modern city, with high-rise buildings and apartments, alleyways and roads, though the odd Demonic Monument can still be seen rising up above the surrounding suburb, teeming with dark cultists. Inside is the current seat of the Acronymian Empire, which controls much of the surrounding area.

Outside - If you ain't Inside, you're OUTSIDE! Simple as that. Outside is a meta-thread for all those wildernessy type areas that don't merit their own threads, be it wood or lake or tiny shack.

ACRONYMS - Home to adventurers, these complexes provide headquarters and occasionally living space for like-minded Player Characters. Invariably equipped with cheesy names, these structures provide a place for their various members to fight crime, cause chaos, or anything of the sort. Current Acronyms include:

• AMEN - Association for the Malicious, Evil and Nefarious. Evil aligned organization, exists to be EVIL! And sometimes Ebil.
• HALO - Heroic, Anti-evil and Lawbreaking Organization. Non-Evil aligned organization, exists to smite wrong-doers.
• GLoG - Good League of Good. Good aligned organization, exists to redeem evil-doers.
• LANTERN - Lawful Awesome Not-Neutral Truthful Anti-Evil Respectable Nothing Else. Good-Aligned group dedicated to fighting evil and crime of anysort. They also use power rings, and is a supeteam led by Maxios.
• NO - Neutralist Oganization. Neutral aligned organization, exists to perform mercenary contracts for other organizations and individuals in the Nexus without taking sides
• WATCHTOWER - You Know What? Screw It. Non-aligned aligned organization. Exists to destroy threats to Nexus, whatever form they may take.
• SAINT - Society of Assassins, Infiltrators, Ninja, and Terrorists. Assasin's guild, located in Riverside.
• PACK - Perfectly Acceptable College for Kids. The local Nexus school. Class has pretty much never been in session, though...

The Taverns
What kind of vaguely DnD-esque adventurer would you be if you didn't visit one of these places at least once? The various Taverns, Grills, Hotels, Cantinas and Restaurant provide meeting places for the Player Characters, areas for quest givers to stand mysteriously in, and also places for people to eat and spend the money they seem to have infinite amounts of. Though there are a vast number of such places in Nexus, some with their own thread and some without, throughout history three major hubs have existed, without which Nexus as we know it wouldn't exist. The Dancing Fox Inn, which is located in What used to be Town but is now another part of the Inside. Taverna Generica, which is located near Inside's more NPC inhabited areas. Finally, there is Trog's Tavern, which is located, maddeningly enough, at every corner of the Nexus at the same time. There is also the Black Dragon's Den, it's located roughly between the docks and the slums of Inside, and is the local hive of scum and villainy.

I've spent most of my day today playing with my new VAIO netbook.
...
By which I mean sitting around waiting for stuff to install, but hey.

[Gullara]

Merry Christmas!

I got a very awesome office chair. Now I can sit comfortably while I RP.

I'll post today as much I can, but I've got family over so I might get torn away without being able to tell anyone. You've been warned.

[Terry576]

I got a bunch of things.

Like a Bamboo Pad. I can now draw badly on my computer without a scanner!

And then I bought that new Golden Sun game. And played it for about five hours.

And now I have a 5 hour plane ride to West Virginia, and then a 2 hour car ride to my Grandma's house.

Merry Christmas.

[Falgorn]

I got a Kindle!!!!!

My mom is awesome.

I got a Kindle, too! And the Flying Tree skin!

I'm reading a Game of Thrones!

[Rae Artemi]

And now I have a 5 hour plane ride to West Virginia, and then a 2 hour car ride to my Grandma's house.

But doesn't that mean you have seven more hours to play Golden Sun?

This should be a good thing!

[Terry576]

But doesn't that mean you have seven more hours to play Golden Sun?

This should be a good thing!

I'm gonna go open a Djinn guide.

And win.

[VampireRot]

*Joins the "I got a Kindle" club*.


Mah bruver got an X-Box, so I can yoink it every now and again to play Fallout!


Merry Christmas to everyone!

Unless one of you different time-zoners time travelers is already on the 26th.

[Earl of Purple]

I got something really useful: A wireless mouse! For some reason, I go through computer mice really quickly by damaging the cable. Now all I need are wireless headphones...

Also chocolate, books, clothes but surprisingly no PC games this year. I must use the money from the cards to buy some to add to my (very large) collection of games I don't play. But there's a chance the new game will be enjoyable and fun, so I'll play it more

On an unrelated note, I doubt I'll be here tomorrow, and I might not be on usual time because I'm on now.

[Morty]

I got Mass Effect, a bike computer, a new cup and a shirt. As well as some sweets and fruit. No Kindle or anything like that for me.

[Mina Kobold]

Ooh, I have one of those too! I draw semi-decent, but the pressure sensitivity don't work since I lost the installation disc and it isn't installed on my art computer

But I'm also getting an X-box once I get home so I don't complain

Got a lot of books and games already...

I'm a spoiled brat, am I not?

[Rae Artemi]

I'm a spoiled brat, am I not?

Spoiled maybe, but you aren't a brat, Kev. Believe me, I live with one...

[Earl of Purple]

I will now be gone for a while because I'll be playing on the Wii. Sorry, guys.

[Reinholdt]

I will now be gone for a while because I'll be playing on the Wii. Sorry, guys.

You should never have to apologize for going to do something else.
Possible exceptions include during really dramatic moments... and that's about it.

[Shadowcaller]

When you get back earl, there are two journalists waiting for one of your cult members in trogs.

[Ashen Lilies]

So yeah... this pretty much had to be done.

"You could what?!"

*Throws screaming ex-fae at Trog's*

[Gullara]

Yeah, sure. Give me a minute.

If I disappear for any reason it's because guests showed up.

Or not. Probably for the best. *shrugs*

[Recaiden]

Merry Christmas, all!

In celebrations, I got a computer game, a music cd, sketching things, origami paper and designs, a calender, cards, headphones, dice, coffee, a sweater, a book, and an awesome necklace.
I gave out some purchased things: a calender, a mug, a box, a bracelet, a clock, a glass apple, a book, a model, etc.
And I gave out some things that I made: some gem trees, some practice poi, three plush yersisia pestis bacteria, a carved wooden corgi, a different clock, etc.

And there you go iElf. Though as I'm at family house, I may vanish with little warning.

[iElf]

gah...I need another hour to download the doctor who special...and no one here to RP.....
