Nature Takes Its Course

[AmbushCat]

Missy found some living in an abandoned mall a couple years ago, not long after Callista procured the Brotherhood from that Caprice lady. Long story short, she was able to convince them to live at the HQ by promising to transfer all of their stuff there too.

((OOC: That last part had to be done off-screen, so to speak, since the thread the mall was in was left unfinished.))

[Raleigh]

Ever toss anyone to them?

[AmbushCat]

Toss? No. Though there was this gang who tried to break into the HQ through the wing where the Ovalisks were living. Messy, but hilarious.

[Raleigh]

Heh, effective deterrent. By the way, I'll be needing to visit the Brotherhood later. Mind letting them know so I won't have to simply phase in through the front door and rough up any brass demons or whatever you may still have around?

[AmbushCat]

Brass demons, ninja raptors with lasers on their heads, the full range of plushies, Applepills, Imperial Stormtroopers, a few Space Marines from the Dark Angel chapter, some of Circe's uncarroted maids... we tried getting some brass demon lawyers, but they kept trying to sue us for assorted obscure reasons. ... But yeah, we'll let 'em know you're coming.

Ellen: ...Are the rumors that the Brotherhood is trying to bring back the Chaos Frogs true?

*rather emphatically* NO.

[Raleigh]

Ooooh space marines. Those are fun to play with. The reaction when you punch through all that armor is hilarious. Not as much as when you make them mutate but still fun.

[AmbushCat]

I've never understood the reason for all that armor. Sure, it looks tough and fancy, but from what Missy tells me they've never been able to defend against those Genestealers all that well.

[Raleigh]

Me thinks the Emperor liked American football too much and wanted to keep that aesthetic. Personally I think one's power armor should be a bit more like the Knight Sabers variation.

[AmbushCat]

Never heard of them. What's this about the Knight Sabers?

[Raleigh]

*Manifests one of the hard suits the Knight Sabers use.* This suit. They aren't that much more oversized than the person wearing them, take a hit pretty well, and have quite a few interesting weapons in them. I'm thinking of offering a child's line of these hard suits in the future at the shop.

[AmbushCat]

*Acutus takes out a little tablet computer concealed in one of her wrist guards and fiddles with it for a bit. Her eyes widen*

I... wow. I've missed out on a lot while I was away.

Ellen: ...That you did. Why couldn't you have stayed out there?

Don't ruin my buzz, kid.

[Raleigh]

I miss a lot of stuff often too but I can cheat. Not being bound in time helps with that. *He smirks.*

[AmbushCat]

*sweatdrops; eyes fall half-closed* ...You know, Indrisil, I already disliked your kind enough before I found out how much room you have to brag.

*Ellen makes a sound that, if you listened carefully and screened out any noise pollution, it could probably be misconstrued as an amused snort. Of course, no evidence of it is on her face at all.*

[Raleigh]

Heh. So then, any turns from this path or do we just keep walking?

[AmbushCat]

Another 50 meters down and around the path, upwards for 13 meters at a 60° angle, then straight forward another 32. *balances herself on a vine to cross a short gap* That should take us to the center.
