| 4:22 pm | sages_of_chaos @ 2009-12-07T16:08:00 The architecture of the Nexus is in a perpetual state of flux, with objects and parts of structures appearing, moving, and vanishing in a constant tectonic ballet. Certain to spread a few ripples in that fluid landscape is the sudden appearance of a broad expanse of marble floor, inlaid with jade and malachite, surrounding a bonfire better described as a towering inferno. Along one edge, a colonnade shelters a goblin orchestra which is presently warming up--at least, let's hope that's what the cacophony of squeaks and squawks implies. And of course, front and center stands the goblin king, in all his splendor. "The year's dark hours are fast upon us, children--at least, those of us who count. But is this a time for cowering in cold and darkness, waiting for its clutches? No! Now is the hour to hold night at arm's length, and someone warm a little closer. Come forth! Don a mask, eat, drink, dance, and make the year itself forget that it is cold. Even I shall be generous this night." ((LOL, of course. Masks are plentiful, varied, and garb the wearer in a costume to match. Once donned, a mask won't come off until its wearer has done something specific in keeping with the mask's theme. Celebrants are welcome to come up with their own masks, and the act that will let them out of the trap, but like everything tied to the Labyrinth, simply getting into the mess doesn't offer any indication of how to get out. For example, donning a fairy mask might require giving someone else "fairy help" (such as it is) to be free. For those who'd rather not have a task associated with the end of their LOL, goblin masks come off at the end of the ball. And no, throwing a chair at a wall isn't going to help anybody.)) ((What's more, it's a party! Your gracious host doesn't have time to entertain everyone personally, so feel free to mix and mingle, threadjack and make merry with abandon.)) |

| 11:48 pm | sages_of_chaos @ 2009-12-06T04:31:00 Over at a bench, Faye can be found carefully cleaning her sword, and making sure it's still sharp enough for her tastes. It stands to reason that she should learn how to maintain her own weapons and be self sufficient in these matters. She pauses long enough to ask, "So... those of us who have a weapon of choice, how skilled are you in using it?" |
| 3:08 pm | Christmas kiosk! There's a stand set up in the Nexus, here in the shadow of the sign. It's presided over by a blond woman with happy blue eyes and a ready smile and a tall young man with slightly wayward brown hair and a red jacket. The woman is a hologram, the man however is very real, though not quite as human as he appears at the moment. The table in front of them and the shelves and glass front stasis units at their backs hold an assortment of Christmas or Hanukkah treats, including gingerbread houses that actually look good enough to eat, lox, whole smoked turkeys and dinochickens, ginger and cinnamon cookies, peppernut cookies, stained glass cookies, handmade candycanes of all flavors and colors, Christmas pudding, soda bread, dinochicken ham with crispy rind intact, all sorts of nuts, fruitcakes that look and smell like food, tourtière, different sorts of pies, shortbread, Pan de pascua, fish and fish dishes, rice pudding, kouglof, springerle, latkes, sufganiyot, and chocolate money. Among other things. The woman smiles as they finish setting up, then looks around and calls out, "Would anyone like to buy something for Christmas or Hanukkah? We've got nearly everything, some with an exotic twist. Good prices, and guaranteed LOL free. We even..." She nods to the young man. "Have a taste tester on hand to prove it." |

| 4:48 pm | ... A small, weary-looking dog with a surgical bandage taped over its head wanders into the Nexus. It looks around, slightly disoriented at the sudden change of scenery. "Oh. What's this, then?" |
| 1:13 pm | sages_of_chaos @ 2009-12-04T17:23:00 Seems that the Nexus continues to keep calling Jubilee to its question area, because here she is again. This time wearing a Santa hat and standing by a black pot filled with candy canes. (Don't worry, except for the side effect of getting a very red tongue - there is no LOLs on the candy canes). She smiles, "During this time of year, I know a lot of people make gift requests and express their hopes for the future. I would be happy to learn any of yours, if you are willing to share. What are you hoping for during the holiday season?" "And do you think you would be on Santa's naughty or nice list?" (if your answer is NSFW, please identify it as so) |
| 1:13 pm | sages_of_chaos @ 2009-11-13T22:22:00 After a brief absence from this area of the Nexus, a portal opens and a Jubilee enters. She is pushing a large box of canned goods. With a glance up to make sure she is not pushing the box over anybody (or any sentient thing), Jubilee pushes the box to a couch. She flips over a sign that reads, "The Great Nexus Food Drive: Need food? Take what you require. Have an abundance? Give what you can. No LOL'd items please". Then she sits by her box, looking after it for a moment. Her question seems to be holiday oriented. "Every notice how you just get through celebrating one holiday, and then all the sudden the next seems to come flying at you. Man already I am seeing Christmas decorations and songs all around me, in my adopted dimension." "For a general question, how do you make the most of a day, when something else seems to be pushed on you from all directions?" (This part locked from ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small} ready2believeu) "As well, I have been plotting." She glances around, dropping her voice. "I mean what could I possible buy for a sweet, adorable, understanding boyfriend who is really science smart. Especially when I am not? Ideas people! I need ideas!" |

| 10:42 am | sages_of_chaos @ 2009-12-03T11:05:00 Supergirl floats down from the sky, settling into a couch with her cape around her. She looks VERY content and comfortable. "I've found my cousin and spent a few days with him. It's been awhile since I've been able to feel close to someone. It's got me thinking I'd like to move to be closer to him but I'm not really sure what kind of job to apply for or what I'd even be good at. What's YOUR dream job?" |

| 8:05 pm | sages_of_chaos @ 2009-12-01T17:24:00 There's a Nero in the Nexus, sprawling across a couch (as usual) and focusing quite intently on what appears to be some sort of handheld game console, looking far too entertained. Not too entertained to ask a question, though. "What're some of your favorite things to do when you're bored?" |

| 3:42 pm | sages_of_chaos @ 2009-11-30T19:53:00 Today, one can find Jubilee in the Nexus very easily. You just follow the fireworks that have been exploding for the last couple of minutes. Underneath those explosions of light and sound, laying on the ground on a very comfy blanket is Jubilation. She seems very comfortable in the flannel pajamas she seems to be sporting today, uncaring if anyone in the Nexus has a problem with someone wearing pjs (and fuzzy slippers). "So... when was the last time you had a really good cry? When was the last time you laughed so hard you had tears in your eyes?" "What would you say is a good way to embrace your emotions?" She gives a little smirk as she explodes another piff into the sky. "Three guesses to how I express mine." |

| 11:43 pm | Because Explosions Are Fun? A girl with cat ears wearing one of those t-shirts with the Milky Way galaxy on it and a pointer with caption "you are here," and another pointer with the caption on a lower arm of the galaxy that says "your luggage is over here" heads over to one of the convenient nexus chairs and plops down in it. "So, does anyone have any thoughts on why disaster movies and books are so popular?" "And for a second question, what are your favorite disaster movies?" |

| 10:49 pm | sages_of_chaos @ 2009-11-28T13:24:00 {L-sama enters the Nexus for the first time in quite a while and is accompanied by... something covered by a large drop cloth that is floating behind her} All right, it's been a while but I suppose this is as good a place as any to conduct my survey. It's simple and consists of two questions. Question 1) Karaoke: The greatest form of entertainment ever or an infernal abomination whose creator should be confined to the lowest pits of eternal torment for creating such a monstrosity? Question 2) {She pulls off the drop cloth to reveal what may indeed be the ultimate karaoke system. Huge display screens, a dance stage, laser light system and speakers slightly larger than your average transformer.... with dials that go to eleven} Who wants to have a go? If you can name the song we've got it {Gestures to a table covered in several impressively thick ringbinders} We've got plenty of microphones as well so don't be shy if you want to do a group number. {Grabs a mic herself, jumps on stage and starts singing 'I and Myself' from the Slayers Gorgeous soundtrack} ((Minor LOL alert: Reading through any of the song lists and not taking a turn on the karaoke machine will result in your character getting the most annyoing song they know stuck in their head for the next three days)) |
| 5:11 pm | sages_of_chaos @ 2009-11-27T22:01:00 "Ah, I'm so glad I can regenerate, otherwise I'd be covered in bruises. No pain no gain, right?" Faye has taken up an empty couch today, after finally getting some time to herself after her training session. "Ah, kind of an unrelated question, but... If you were immortal, or had a really long lifespan, how would you spend it?" |
