Yes Elf, I was planning to but I needed to make sure names could respond.

While it's kinda touch and go, some things you can jump ahead on. ...It takes some practice though. I actually messed up once myself on that front. ...Because I made an assumption about how men work at that. ^_^" Still, it'll come eventually (har har).

Ryoko is a voyeur. 

That she is. ...And for her trouble she's a bit shaken. Tom can be damn scary sometimes. ^_^"

So I was wondering about exactly who should answer Valda's query and write a post for a baffled and intimidated NPC she approached.

Elf, how about dropping some info on Nexus City? Do we have a Mayor who hates his job and is just hopelessly waiting for his retirement age, faced with all the barely controllable supernaturals in town? 8D

I am a-ok with ripping bandages. Let me just respond so Lawrence can make a Lust-fueled rip.

[Arch-Magos Winter]

And done.

It's the season for smut apparently.

[Cherry Lover]

Hmm, so have Ryoko and friends just stood there in the kitchen and started getting drunk whilst Kiyoshi is, presumably, cooking...?

[Arch-Magos Winter]

Yep!

If Aiden wants to respond real quick to Elf's last post I'll let you go ahead with that but after it I'll be bringing in all my stuff.

Nope, Marius is still in torpor right now until the earth landslide has finished; I'm waiting for you to tell us how the monsters respond to a large portion of their ranks being flattened by a sudden vertical landslide from nowhere.

I just realized who or rather what Thomas Hale is and now I feel dumb for not piecing it together earlier.

Okay, info about Nexus City!

I was going to want to do this as a surprise, but  . . .

I told Aiden most of this last night.

Anyway, a lot of the vampiric activity is run by ]Deacon Frost.  He's one of those super ambitious types that wants to raise humans as cattle and have vampires rule the planet.  He's also snarky, the epitome of heroin chiq, and insanely crafty.  He does not like Forest, but he hasn't met her yet either.

The largest business in the city is Golden Rule.  It's run by a mysterious man known as Gil King.   Golden Rule is the largest employer in Nexus, and it's actually a very good place to work.   Gil is rumored to be a recluse and no one has really seen him.  Yet.

Hmm, so have Ryoko and friends just stood there in the kitchen and started getting drunk whilst Kiyoshi is, presumably, cooking...?

Indeed, because they're irresponsible around kids that way.   Now I'm mad because I missed the chance to have Lancer offer Kiyoshi a drink.

[Aiden]

Right, but that doesn't answer questions like "What State of the US is this in?" or "does this thing have a mayor?" though I suspect the answer to the State thing is 'we've been trying to figure that out, but it's not really clear to us either.'

Even though oh my God, I'm looking forward to fucking with Deacon Frost so much.

The city is the bastard child of New York and Chicago honestly.  It's not really a set "state".  There is a mayor tough, but he spends most of his time eating blood pressure pills and washing them down with vodka.

Also Mike, Kiyoshi is about to get a crash course of the Birds and the Bees from Big Bro Lancer.

Yeah, I think asking "which state is this in" is likely to get a similar response to asking which state Springfield or Gotham City are in....

Honestly, I don't think it's even in the US at all. It's just some interdimensional city that exists independent of any outside world.

Lol, yeah, I noticed that....

I was a bit surprised Ryoko just ignored him but, then, I guess she was rather pre-occupied at the time....

Also Mike, Kiyoshi is about to get a crash course of the Birds and the Bees from Big Bro Lancer.

Lol, I see.

I'm going to have to work out how much of it he already knows. His parents do have regular sex, after all, and I'm sure he'd have picked something up from that, even if it's only "why does Mummy scream in the bedroom sometimes?" or "what are those weird burn-like marks on her hands?"

I'd imagine that trying to hide the sort of things that Shirou and Sakura get up to from a kid of Kiyoshi's age would be interesting....

Thanks for the info, mein beneficent forum Fuhrer.

I feel for this mayor, I really do.
