"I'm, uh, half human," Sekhmet explains, "I was raised in secrecy by, uh, mortals. They took me from, uh, my mother's cult and raised me like a normal person." Sekhmet sighs. "I just want a normal life. To, uh, live with my husband and learn my trade, uh, and have children of my own. But, uh, I can't. My mother won't leave me alone, and if something does manage to, uh, stop her, then I have to take her place."Awesome avatar (Kothar, paladin of Tlacua) by Linkele!

Gabriel looks sideways at Khannie in a very avian way.
"Hmm. But you smell more like Ma. She's human sometimes but usually she's not because they can't fly or do psychic stuff. Dad too." Except Dad is more convincing. Geneva never quite loses all of the Mew-ness to her children who have had quite enough time to get used to all of it.
Hmm. Didn't Jace have a friend who is a gray hippogriff with psychic things and recently had children? The one Khannie met when she first found her daddy?
Meanwhile, Glory gives Gwen a look. A very particular look.

"Yes, it would help. If you bring the choker especially. So, clothes, let's go. Where're they kept?" The half-elf will follow Sophie wherever she leads, as Ysable hasn't been to GLoG before and doesn't know her way around. She just managed to focus on the idea that the Good League of Good helped people whilst she was a cat, and so followed the directions.Terrowin Avatar by HappyTurtle. Much thanks!

Sophie will briskly lead Ysable to the main cabin, where the chest of clothes is located. The clothes found therein are hardly glamorous, but they'll do the job of covering her modesty for the time being. She also brings the choker with her.

Brinika, meanwhile, looks up at Miranda with a slight pout.

"That would be wonderful, thank you." Miranda smiles, before turning back to Brinika.
Oh. Right. Nexus.
"What I mean by that is, even in our time, human-to-human petting is something of an intimate gesture." Miranda corrects herself. "More personal than a hug, less so than a kiss. So, you know... not something you'd necessarily want to do with a stranger, or, for that matter, without permission."
She sighs a little. Yes, she knew she was being a little bit of a hypocrite. She'd done it to Geneva, a stranger she more or less regarded as a person, and the cubs were there to see it. She braces herself for one of the kids to point this out.

"There has to be a way to find you some peace." Balthier decides. "Break with your demonic half, kick your mother to the curb.

"I think she's more powerful, but..." Sekhmet looks disheartened, "She's limited in how she, uh, uses it. Most gods, uh, only can act through mortal agents, right? And there are other gods that would oppose anything preventing me from, uh, following my fate." She really feels trapped by circumstances. What can she do?

"Uh, thanks for the advice." Sekhmet looks uncomfortable with the idea. Terrified, even. She doesn't want to deal with something more powerful than herself if she can avoid it.
By now, Balthier's probably gotten the impression that she's afraid of anything and everything, a strange trait for an immortal being as powerful as herself. For a demon, she's certainly quite unusual, as he's pointed out.Awesome avatar (Kothar, paladin of Tlacua) by Linkele!

Manja's toes pop out of Orin's mouth as she rolls, which causes the darker-skinned baby to make a noise of protest. She rolls to the side and gets into a crawling position, intent on crawling after Manja.
As it turns out, Svetlana's already in HALO and is talking with Reinholdt right this very moment... about Harley.
"Interesting..." Zither says with a grin, her sharp teeth on displayas she keeps an eye on the babies. "I'm glad your pregnancy worked out. Y'know, my husband proposed to me in HALO. He can be a worrier, too. I'm a mechanic, myself, and I use my sniping skills to hunt sometimes. It's a bit hard, I'm unused to any technology higher than steam engines, but luckily I can find work in the Nexus. If you want, I could check our your car... if you have one." She offers.

"Fine I won't pet you," Khannie finally concludes, slinking back to the table to do her homework. Why's he gotta be so weird about it anyway? She had heard second hand that Miss Geneva had babies and these are probably them. Miss Geneva was always really nice and Khannie really hasn't seen her that much since she moved to her own house. Sometimes she and Nick Jr would play together and that was fun.
"Ugh..."
Stupid illusion still isn't working.
After much hemming and hawing Khannie decides to let her human illusion drop. That frees up enough mental space to get the visual, olfactory, AND tactile aspect of the orange illusion she's been working on to actually work!
Hooray!
She just has to be a dumb pokemon to do it.
Boooooo.

After distracting Pookie from his quest to hug her by pointing out his pot of honey was now unguarded and all Meridia's, Cheasadh is able to approach Khannie. "Sure, I can do that. Can I pick it up?" She's already reached out to touch the orange and try picking it up as she asks, so she's going to find out if she can't when it slips out of her fingers. "It feels right, on a touch. Smells right, too." She doesn't move it closer to her nose before making that pronunciation; gnomes have large noses and a good sense of smell.
And, if she's able to pick it up- "The weight's a bit odd, but maybe that's because I know it's an illusion." And is expecting it to be weightless. She squeezes it slightly, feeling it compress under her fingers, before turning to her sister. "Hey, Brinika! Catch." The orange is thrown hard enough to reach Brinika, but not so hard it's hard to catch- although as it's movement relies upon Khannie's concentration, something may still go wrong.Last edited by Earl of Purple; 2021-07-16 at 06:12 PM.

"I know, I know. I wouldn't pet someone just like that. It's rude." Brinika's ears flick up and down, then she glances over at Khannie. Looks like her human illusion dropped. That's awkward. She wonders how the new lady will reac- whoa. Brinika turns around just quickly enough to catch the orange, presuming the illusion holds.

Re: GLoG 93: Something something something babies

Unlike certain other members of her team, Miranda is rather nonplussed by the sudden appearance of what she would otherwise assume to be a fictional video game character. She met a hippogriff on her way in to be interviewed by a goblin for a position to be a caretaker at a daycare featuring said hippogriff's children, a gnome, and god-only-knows what else. She got it, this place was weird. If she didn't learn to take things in stride, she wasn't going to last very long.
With that in mind, she shrugs and braces herself to catch the orange if it passes by her.

Re: GLoG 93: Something something something babies

The orange smells a little off.
More like orange soda than actual orange zest that would be squirting everywhere if a real orange were squeezed. When Cheasadh tightens her fingers around it the internal texture feels wrong, like smooshing one of those foam balls instead of an orange. It elastically poofs back to a round shape instead of remaining squished.
Then?
Cheasadh throws it!
Khannie gives a little eep and focuses all the harder, trying her best to maintain the illusion.
C'mon c'mon!
Brinika caught it!
Khannie throws her hands up in the air and gives a little, "Woo!"
The illusion definitely isn't perfect, but it still feels like a real object even if there isn't actually anything there. Brinika could squash it flat between her hands and it would offer no real resistance. But it's still 'programmed' to act like an object. With her sensitive ears Brinika will probably notice that the orange didn't make a 'thump' sound when she caught it. The interaction was totally silent. Khannie can only manage three sensory inputs at once on her illusions thus far. Which is pretty good!
"Some of the nogitsune at Inari's are teaching me to do shadow illusions," Khannie explains, quite proud of her work. "They're like regular illusions but with some shadow stuff in them so they don't pop when someone touches them."Warning! Random Encounter™ detected!

"Sorry, Khannie, I didn't think before I threw. It worked, though! It's a cool illusion." Cheasadh really should comment on the smell, but she's feeling bad for throwing it without warning Khannie first. Maybe next time she's given an illusionary orange.
Pookie's going to approach Miranda and tilt his head to one side, before spreading his arms for a hug. He's very sticky, with honey in his fur, so hugging him is ill-advised- as even Cheasadh demonstrated a few posts ago.Terrowin Avatar by HappyTurtle. Much thanks!

Miranda, however, is not especially bothered by the prospect of imminent stickiness. She sets her Hotbox on the table and sets it to print off a new shirt before she kneels down and gives Pookie a little hug, followed by an affectionate head rub. "Well, well... someone's gotten himself awfully messy, hasn't he?" She smiles. "At some point, we're going to have to get you all cleaned up." She turns her head toward Cheasadh as she speaks, still hugging Pookie, conveniently keeping him in one spot so nobody else would have to worry about a sticky fate. "How do you normally go about doing that? Any concerns vis-a-vis his fur I should be worried about?"

"It didn't make a sound when I grabbed it." Brinika's knowledge of magic is best described as haphazard, but she feels like she should provide constructive feedback. "But it does look like an orange. Not that I see many oranges." She looks over at Gabriel. "How is Khannie like your mom?"

If Harley knew that she were there right now, talking about her, then she would be doing something completely different: she would probably immediately leave here, message Rein that they need to talk ASAP and head back there immediately, to get a story and set it straight.
"Oh, wow. Being a mechanic actually sounds pretty neat. I've always wanted to know more about machines and robotics, myself, especially after meeting a cyberneticist not that long ago,"HarleyMoremi says. "I have a car, but it's doing pretty fine. Have regular maintenance on it, actually," she says.
Then, talking about herself, she says, "Actually, so, I don't really have much experience with technology, either. Or, rather, before coming to the Nexus. Space heaters and toasters and magnets and refrigerants were really the only things we had that ran on electricity." She laughs: "So, my first time driving? It was really scary. Luckily, I picked it up pretty quickly."
Manja assumes that she has a lot more experience crawling!
So she crawls away from the other baby, presumably retreating so that she can come back later with a tactical advantage.
She could just turn into a kitten and easily walk away that way, but it's not really something that she would consider unless there's something that she can't do as a baby (cat?)girl.Favorite sports:

"Thanks! I'm getting better at it," Khannie chirps brightly. "But doing complicated stuff AND keeping my disguise up at the same time is REALLY hard. Right now I can only make small things that feel real, but maybe if I get good enough I'll be able to make a disguise people can touch, too."
That's her goal, at least.
By her reckoning it's a good goal.
Khannie bobs her head at Brinika's comment. "Yeah, I can only make it do three things at once. So it feels real and looks real and smells real but it doesn't make any sound and if you tried to taste it then it wouldn't taste like anything," Khannie explains. "I guess if someone is REALLY good they can make something that seems real to all the senses at once but I'm not that good yet. Doing three senses at a time is SO MUCH harder than just doing two."
Khannie would forgive Brinika for not being sure what to compare her pokemon shape to. Kangaskhans look weird. Are they a mammal? Are they a dinosaur? Who knows! Weird.
"I think he means Miss Geneva is a pokemon like I am," Khannie reasons. "She's a mew, but mews get Transform so they can be whatever they want to be. Lucky," she grouses.Warning! Random Encounter™ detected!

"Give him a bath, we've got wolf shampoo that works reasonably well, but don't worry about it too much. He'll try to have a jar of honey in the bath with him, and he'll fight if he doesn't have one. I have no idea where he gets them from, but he'll find them anywhere." Cheasadh shakes her head, glad that bathing him is- for once- not her job. Miranda's kindly volunteered.
Pookie has the 'Honey Gather' ability, so he finds one whenever I think it'd be most amusing.
"It smells more like orangeade, than orange. Work on that before you show Jace." Cheasadh smiles, it's a much better illusion than she can do!

Not that Miranda minded. She loved animals; small, teddy-bear-like animals especially. She smiles and scoops the small Teddiursa up, going outside to give him a proper bath. She'll let him hold on to any honey he has, not wanting to risk upsetting him by taking it away. She'll just have to make sure he doesn't get all sticky again when she's done; she likes this small creature, but not enough to waste her efforts.

"It's possible," Moremi says, though she really doubts it. "She was a catgirl with a huge interest in death, so..." They just started talking.
"One time, I rode a dragon. Well...kind-of," she says. "Was trying to kill it, then it started flying and I hung onto it as it was flying up."
The baby Manja won't be stopped by the mere grip strength of a baby! In fact, maybe even nothing can stop her!
She has to make a slight detour because of the bear, though. She recognizes that it would be bad to try to crawl over it, when her goal is to reach the side of the room, something harder.Favorite sports:
