X, if you aren't busy can I meet you in the Nexus or somewhere?

There's all kinds of eggs now -- I suppose I shouldn't be that surprised -- and since you have a lizard already I figured I could check and see if you want some of the eggs?

Let me know what you'd like to do, okay?

Xiao

It was, annoyingly, starting to be too late in the season for Xiao to be grubbing around on RV's beaches. Or, at least, to get away with said grubbing without having any number of people be less than thrilled when he got home again --

Not my fault I don't have the insulation. Mmf; it won't hurt me ...-- but at least the parks were still ( Read more... )

Go figure, this place actually being useful ...Sometimes it seemed like Xiao always wound up in the Nexus looking for one thing or another ( Read more... )

( Back in the Nexus again -- )

I still think it's weird there's hardly any security ...

or maybe they don't care anymore.On yet another stealthy foray back to his own world, Xiao had taken it into his head to slip away from Phantom yet again -- it was strange staying in Chronias tower now, and stranger in the 0th's domain with the should-be-dead Zero sleeping ( Read more... )

Somehow he hadn't been caught yet, but he figured it was just a matter of time ...

And there had been such a massive forest in Reality ( Read more... )

Nexus-roaming was proving to be something enlightening, indeed. A question about something called a Holy Hand Grenade (which now seemed even more unlikely), lead to some interesting encounters.

One person claimed that there were no more mechaniloids or repliroids, and got very agitated over some parts of their discussion. This was annoying, but ( Read more... )

Such a strange place! Xiao had never imagined there could be so many different creatures -- so many different organic creatures, in any case ( Read more... )

Slipping away from the Council was surprisingly easy. Dodging Phantom -- that was more difficult, but I managed it. I want to see, damn it all.
