Such 'gateways' have always been able to lead one with the right know how, (or just plain dumb luck,), to many lands, times, and even far away planets.&nbsp; Regardless, there is also a 'buffer' zone between the planes of existence, where EVERYONE who has EVER plane walked has wound up.&nbsp; The 'buffer' or the place between worlds, is mostly an empty land covered in a dense fog where life can survive beyond the circle of gateways, each one made of something different that leads to many different lands and times, but what lies beyond the twenty miles of gates is anyone's guess.&nbsp; Everyone who has wandered into the fog had never returned.&nbsp; However, in the center of this ring of gateways that go by as many different names as the places they lead to, there is a small village in the center of the ring that has just always been there.&nbsp; More like a city of ten miles of nothing but roads, houses, and buildings from all walks of life and eras, with countless more beneath the ground itself where it is not uncommon to find artificial suns, moons, and even stars depending on where you end up.&nbsp; Every plane exists equally here, even the Hellish ones, and all of the races, both aliens and mystic alike, all fear one that keeps this place as peaceful as it has been since it's beginning.&nbsp; No one knows much about them save for the fact that no sensor can get a bead on them, making them impossible to identify, and no amount of damage ever stops them.&nbsp; Whatever the silent guardians are, anything that threatens the stability of the Nexus is dealt with swiftly and without mercy, and they always seem to know where to look for such threats.<br><br>Regardless, there is one place in the exact dead center of this place that resides in the heart of the underground city, on all floors yet they are all connected to the main hub, is a Brothel that serves everyone and everything in any capacity.&nbsp; Slavery is not uncommon, but it is not respected by some races, while it is encouraged by others.&nbsp; Magic and technology intermix freely here, and all levels of both works here except for the world destroying variety.&nbsp; (Nukes and stuff like that, but I don't see that being a problem lol.)&nbsp; Whatever your pleasure, the Nexus Brothel can provide for a nominal fee.&nbsp; Teleporters lead to different 'levels' of the establishment that spans the entire city's dead center mark from top to bottom, making travel between 'floors' as simply as stepping into any such device and thinking of where you wish to go.&nbsp; However, break any of the rules of the Brothel, and be prepared to face judgment by any of the god like beings that rule over the Nexus itself, and their silent guards.&nbsp; (Mainly no death unless agreed upon by the players, but more to be added on that later.)&nbsp; So come one, come all, and welcome to the Nexus Brothel, where anything is possible, and nothing is forbidden.&nbsp; <strong>Read fine print first.</strong><br><br>The Nexus Brothel isn't responsible for lost valuables, limbs, or other body parts.&nbsp; Any complaints must be made to the Headmaster and Head Mistress or their support staff.&nbsp; Upon entering the door, you give up the right to sue us for any damage done to your person, (not that it would do you any good anyway,) and that should you sign anything, it is your mess to deal with.&nbsp; What your rules might be might be different from another race's, so keep that in mind as well while you stay here.&nbsp; The only rules are OUR rules, and to disobey them is to either be evicted immediately, sold off into slavery to the Nexus Brothel until your debts are paid off, or killed outright should the offense be bad enough.&nbsp; Language barriers are your own concern to deal with.&nbsp; Enjoy your stay!</em><br><br><div align="center"><strong>Introductory Post.&nbsp; More info follows.</strong></div><br>When one first enters this world between world, one can't help but be enthralled by the massive amount of people in only a ten mile space that are constantly coming and going to other worlds and planes of existence besides their own.&nbsp; The miles of Gates that encircle the city are in constant use, although some more than others considering more than a few lead to places that no mortal in their right mind would dare to tread, while others only certain people can access so that the rules of that particular world aren't corrupted beyond repair.&nbsp; On the other hand, there are many that allow gate travel to anyone, but knowing where a gate might take you is not always enough, as more than a few people have found out to their own detriment.&nbsp; The city that extends to countless miles below the surface to allow for so many different species and races from countless worlds however, is its own maze of puzzles and riddles as well as countless dangers since there is no true law here save for the stability of this Nexus.&nbsp; Silent stone guardians that have just simply existed, shaped in the form of gods and goddesses, animals, people of great skill, and so many more, stand guard at every gate and they stand at every street corner.&nbsp; They do not attack unless they themselves are provoked, nor do they do anything except stand about as silent sentries, yet should a threat appear, no matter their cunning, they always find and eliminate the being or beings that try to destroy the buffer or any of its citizens.&nbsp; How they receive their orders or how they always seem to know where to strike is unknown, but what is known is that they can't be destroyed.&nbsp; Slowed down perhaps, but no amount of magic or technologically powered attacks has ever stopped them completely.<br><br>The City of In-Betweens as the locals call it, considering the city and its inhabitants live relatively peaceful lives in this otherwise strange land stuck in time with no known location among the heavens since the stars always seem to be in ordered chaos, is just as diverse in its architecture as the people themselves.&nbsp; Look here, and you'll see a Victorian styled home straight out of eighteenth century France.&nbsp; Look there and you'll see a Roman styled estate, complete with stone columns, statues of the household gods and goddesses, and balconies that overlook the streets or their personal gardens or even slave pens should it be a school for gladiators.&nbsp; Then of course there is buildings that look like they came right out of a sci fi motion picture that tower over their neighbors, while on the opposite side of the street you might find an elven garden style affair.&nbsp; Everything is possible and nothing is forbidden here.&nbsp; However, in all this madness lies the Brothel that attracts EVERYONE from far and wide the moment they enter this realm that is not a realm, where two very different people rule over every floor of the Dimensional Nexus Brothel that is located in the exact center of this land on every floor.<br><br>((This thread is to be used to get around and stuff for the most part.&nbsp; More will be created as the need arises, but soon the Brothel itself will be made once I get some things squared away with Firefights.))

				<strong><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size">Safire</span></strong><br><br>Safire was taking a long needed brake from the Brothel, and desited to take some of the money she has and spend the day in the market. Things were slow today and so she knew she could take a day to herself. She was dressed in a Japanese, style kimono made of beautiful embroidered silks and exotic material, it was light green with blacks mixed across it, the Kimono was modified, to fit her own style the sleeves did not hang loose like on a traditionally but were cut at the wrist to show off her hands, and the dress was low in the front more than usual, rather than in the back showing off the back of her neck along with her breast.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <br><br>&nbsp;She walked through the markets, she always loved the market, especially hear at the City. There are so many different people’s races, creatures and cultures. A person could find almost anything, when Safire was not working she spent her hours learning about new peoples and places. She also had a love for making clothing; all the clothing she owed was of her own make. <br><br>That was her reason in the market this afternoon, she smiled as a sales man was trying to convince her to buy a beautiful spider silk cloth. The vender was a walking spider himself and he kept telling her that his wife weaved this silk from her own spinners; Safire smiled at the man and gave him a look. She had bought from him before and she knew he could go lower in price. <br><br>The spider man vender gave her a look that would scare any normal person, with eight eyes on them. The vender finally gave in and Safire bought three bolts of the spider silk. She placed them in the basket she carried and contued to walk around the market looking at everything.&nbsp; <br>

				<strong>Giselle Do'Urden - Making her presence known....sort of.</strong><br><br>Plane traveling was not her specialty, but when one was accidentally blasted off across the very planes of existence by an errant spell, well, let us say that it does not constitute a good landing.&nbsp; Falling face first out of a black onyx arch akin to the Shadow Gates that had popped up three hundred years ago when Eldrith's black tower arose in Toril about the time she'd been born, Giselle groaned as she pushed herself up to her hands and knees and spit out the tuft of grass she had about ate when she had landed.&nbsp; "I am going to kill Seth when I get back."&nbsp; She grumbled, until her brown eyes saw that she wasn't where she had wanted to be, but instead was in some strange land that made some of the planes she had visited before seem tame by comparison.&nbsp; "What in the Nine Hells?"&nbsp; She asked herself, standing fully a second later as she dusted herself off, checking to make sure everything was in order.&nbsp; Her black mithril chainmail armor was still present and the enchantments still seemed in order.&nbsp; The twin scimitar blades on her hips were also fine, as was the heavy pack on her back, and the Bag of Holding that was on her right hip, right next to Icingdeath's pommel.&nbsp; Her money and other valuables were there, but putting a hand to her neck, Giselle noticed her necklace was missing.&nbsp; Looking about however turned it up on the edge of the circle of gates she found herself by, and the edge of the fog covered land as well.&nbsp; She wasn't foolish enough to even consider wandering into that place as she picked up her necklace that was in the shape of a unicorn's head, it and the chain itself made of silver, and clasped it back around her slender neck, pulling her long silver gray hair out of the way and back into some semblance of order before moving forward into the city.<br><br>"Alright brother, where did you drop me off this time?"&nbsp; She asked herself, having never heard of the Nexus before, but the assortment of races and architecture was astonishing as she made her way into the market.&nbsp; It wasn't everyday one saw aliens or mystical races that weren't known to the well traveled Drow warrior, but here they were, speaking in countless languages she had never heard, but a few were talking in tongues she did know.&nbsp; It was an impressive sight, to say the least, until her eyes found the spider vendor and the demoness he had just been talking to.&nbsp; Approaching the woman in the kimono, feeling her dark power a mile off, even if she herself wasn't evil, Giselle's fair face lit up into a warm smile as she put a hand on the woman's right shoulder.&nbsp; "Excuse me, but would you happen to know where in the Nine Hells I am right now?"&nbsp; She asked, hoping her appearance wouldn't start off the usual trend of torch bearing and pike wielding buffoons that saw her dark skin and automatically assumed the worst of her.&nbsp; However, considering there was a giant spider nearby, she didn't foresee that happening.&nbsp; Only time would tell though.

				<strong><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size">Safire</span></strong><br><br>Felling the hand on her shoulder Safire turned around and smiled at the Drow. It took allot to scare or even faze Safire, and un like other demons she found that mortals were nicer around you when you were nice to them, and showed propper respect. Safire's eyes were kind and gentle; the kind of eyes a Drow would see on a servant or a person of lesser power, all her movements seamed to betray this ability Safire had learned in her travels, it is only meant to put the other person at ease.&nbsp; <br><br>Safire looked up at the woman Safire only being 5' 4" tall, when she spoke she spoke in perfect Undercommon language a Drow would expect from somebody from there realm “Yes miss this is Nexus, the City Of In-Betweens. Think of this place as a center of all interdimintonal and plainer travel. I am Safire, a worker in the Nexus Brothel.” She bowed gently at this new woman showing the proper respect.<br>

				<strong>Giselle - Pleasantly surprised.</strong><br><br>Oh brother, Undercommon?&nbsp; It was surprising to hear it from the woman before her, but even so, it wasn't necessary even though she understood every word perfectly, having learned that and many other languages in her travels.&nbsp; Even so, she wasn't your typical Drow, and she was about to find that out as Giselle answered in flawless English, or Common that was used on the surface of the world she had left behind.&nbsp; "I never thought I'd hear Undercommon spoken so well here on the surface of any world, but please, I am not your average Drow, and thus you needn't worry about all the fear and respect such a race demands from those they consider lesser than themselves.&nbsp; I hail from the surface of Toril rather than the Underdark Caverns, or Menzoberranzan for that matter.&nbsp; My name is Giselle Do'Urden, daughter to the legendary rogue and ranger Drizzt Do'Urden, follower of Mielliki, goddess of forests, among other things."&nbsp; Smiling warmly, her brown eyes alone giving her heritage away since Drow eyes were normally red, and far more light sensitive than her own were, Giselle held out her right hand to the demoness.&nbsp; "I've never heard of the Nexus or this Brothel you speak of, but since you know this place far better than me, I'd be honored if you showed me around Safire.&nbsp; Still, if what you say is true about this place, then Seth, my brother who accidentally blasted me out here, long story, would love to see this place for himself if I ever find a way back home.&nbsp; Regardless, I think I'll keep him squirming a bit for a while.&nbsp; I need a vacation you might say." She chuckled, enjoying this strange land already, and it showed in her light elven eyes, marking her as a half breed of both dark and light elf origins.

				<span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>Safire</strong></span><br>She still showed great respect for her, her speech Switching to the language she most prefers, she switched without any problems, “I apologies, I am blessed with the gift of Tongs and your native language is what I will speak. It is very nice to meet you Giselle Do'Urden. If you would like I am in the market looking for new cloth, I can show you around, and It is best you have a guide, because in the city it is easy to get lost.” <br><br>Safire turned and walked next to Giselle, Showing her all the stalls and all the different races of the Nexus. “You can find a portal to just about anywhere your heart desires, and to some you would never want to go in to.” Safire stopped to look at some thread made from rare metals not available on this planet.&nbsp; <br><br>“The Brothel, is an amazing place, for the right price we can meet any of your needs. I am one of the girls, I provide entertainment both in and out of the bed, if you truly wish to enjoy yourself, and I would subjest a room and maybe some entertainment, as I said we can do and meet any fanisty or lustful craving you could possibly imagine.” Safire stopped once again looking at some new fabrics.&nbsp; <br>

				<strong>Giselle - Following Safire around.</strong><br><br>Listening to the woman's explanation of the city, amazement at the incredible sights before her at every turn, Giselle walked in perfect unison with Safire, never losing pace as she folded her hands neatly behind her back.&nbsp; She nodded her approval at the idea of cloth shopping, getting the impression the clothing she wore was hand made, most likely by her own hand, and Giselle had to admit it was quite well done if that was the case.&nbsp; Even so, she kept her thoughts to herself as she followed silently along, chuckling lightly since she had figured as much about the gates and some of them going to places she wouldn't in her right mind want to head off too.&nbsp; "I can only imagine where some of the gates might go if what you say is accurate.&nbsp; Plane travel is not a business to take lightly, a fact I will enjoy beating into my brother when I return, even if it was an accident.&nbsp; Still, your gift of tongues seems quite the useful skill, but it also gives what you are away since only a few races I know of can speak any language at will with perfect clarity.&nbsp; Don't worry, I have nothing against demons, just as you seem to have nothing against Drow or dark elves, so long as they are respectful like you are Safire.&nbsp; Unfortunately, most demons I've come across are chaos incarnate and evil beyond all reason, thus forcing a quick end before they get a chance to hurt anyone."<br><br>When they stopped at one particular stall, Giselle's brown eyes couldn't help but notice the rich spider silk cloth that was on display, obviously from Menzoberranzan since the dark elf behind the wooden stand seemed shocked to see another of her kind here.&nbsp; The only problem was she also seemed to know that Giselle was not as she was as she hissed her anger, spitting curses in the language spoken by all Drow nobles.&nbsp; <em>You DISLOYAL SPAWN OF A TRAITOR!&nbsp; HOW DARE YOU SHOW YOUR FACE HERE?!</em>&nbsp; Giselle stopped and her brown eyes narrowed to dangerous slits as she replied in similar fashion, earning a shocked gasp from the woman that had lost favor with her dark goddess if she had to guess, and had thus been subsequently banished to the Nexus.&nbsp; <strong>You are far from Menzoberranzan, heartless being from a dark and cruel land, a fact you'd do well to remember here.&nbsp; I am indeed the daughter of the rogue that has time and time again stopped our evil kinsmen from harming countless people in the past, and I carry his name with pride and honor.&nbsp; Begone, or I will end your existence and send your black soul back to the goddess that has forsaken you.</strong>&nbsp; That shut the woman up as Giselle's face returned to her previous warmth, her hands which had been hovering over her sword hilts, relaxed as well as the rest of her body as she turned to Safire.&nbsp; "I am sorry you had to see that just now Safire.&nbsp; As you saw and heard for yourself, the name Do'Urden is not one that Drow that hail from Tori's dark caverns, in a city deep beneath the surface, appreciate much because my father stopped them time and time again in the past, as well as countless other evils that had tried to take over or harm friends and family, and the world itself on many occasions."<br><br>Sighing heavily, seeing that the Drow shop owner had ran off, Giselle shrugged and took the spider silk which was far softer than regular silk for herself, but not without leaving a couple of gold coins behind, even if she hated the very thing that had cursed her name.&nbsp; "I am not without honor however, and despite our differences, I would not steal from her even though if given a chance, she'd gladly slit my throat and loot my corpse most likely.&nbsp; I would be most honored to have you show me this Brothel you've spoken of so highly however, Safire, when you have done your shopping.&nbsp; I find myself most intrigued, to say the least."

				<strong>Safire- Leading Giselle around the city then to the Brothel</strong><br><br>Safire, smiled "Well respect is something I learned in all my years, I am not like other demons, for one I took a true mortal form. The person you see before you is my mortal form, I voluntarily took this form to learn from the mortal races." She stopped at another stall run by a bird man, the man chirped at Safire, and made it look like he was about to peck at her. But she kept her composer, and spoke in a voice that sounded the same to Giselle's ears as she had been speaking the whole time, "I know cloud cloth is only from the plane of Air, but I know you can come down on your price, please for me?" <br><br>The bird man squawked then Safire smiled and handed the man a sack of gold, taking three bolts of the light blue cloth.&nbsp; Safire turn around and spotted Giselle walking to the Drow dealer, she watched the whole altercation in silence letting Giselle handle everything. When they finished, Safire nodded at her words, "I understand your feelings, and I believe I am done with my shopping for now, I can take you to the brothel." she lead Giselle to the entrance of the Brothel, before walking inside she spoke, "There are women and men inside to serve you, if you would like I can serve you, but I must change my clothing beforehand."<br>

				<strong>Giselle - Following Safire to the Brothel and so much more.</strong><br><br>Tucking the spider silk under her right arm in a neatly folded package, Giselle followed close behind Safire, and looked back to see the Drow woman eying her from a distance, but she slipped out of sight along with the coins she had left behind.&nbsp; Maybe that would teach her to show a bit more respect in the future, but she doubted it as she listened to Safire's reply, a slow smile finding its way to her face again after that nasty bit of business was left behind them.&nbsp; Her offer to serve her did catch Giselle a bit off guard, but she couldn't suppress a grin from reaching her eyes.&nbsp; "I'd love that if you did Safire, considering you're the first person I really met here, and you seem quite well educated about this place.&nbsp; Even if we don't end up in bed together before this day is over, just having your company would be enough for me."&nbsp; She replied, eager to see what this place had to offer.<br><br><strong>Heading to the main floor of the Brothel with Safire.</strong>

				<strong>Ebenas</strong><br><br>The young girl never walked outside of the building on her own, yet this time felt like her first. Her figure was hidden under a black silk cloak. It's purpose to protect her from the frigid winds seemed non-existent, since her aura was already icy. Her expression was tranquil and reserved. No emotion was displayed in her sapphire eyes.<br><br>Strolling around the town, she observed the civilians surrounding her, performing errands, or just playing around in the dirt. Ebenas stared at the human children chasing each other. It was something that the young girl never did before in her childhood. She was raised in the castle as a source of pleasure to greedy and envious men. She assumed that was her only position in life, but if it wasn't for "mother", she wouldn't have survived by herself.

				Destiny - Overseeing operations<br><br>For the last few months it had been the same, the lavender haired girl would stand at the viewing port. Watching Thousands of oval shaped drones entering the nexus. Sometimes they would be hauling huge cargo crates of raw materials and machining components and on the rare occasion a girl looking exactly like her would pass through the portal. Then with only a few seconds wait they would leave through a different one as Destiny expanded across the dimensions. <br><br>To say there were hundreds of trillions of different units that made up Destiny's massive cross dimensional network would have been a grave understatement. In reality she numbered in the hundreds of decillions across universes that were infinite while at the same time expanding across thousands upon thousands of new universes, all connected to this nexus. The entity that was Destiny was far more then any one piece, she was simultaneously ever piece. She fought wars, governed planets, colonized worlds, and studied art, culture, and science all at once but here in the nexus the flesh and blood Destiny always seemed lonely and shy. A step away from the complex social structures of nexus. <br><br>Once the final piece of herself entered the portal for the day she took a step away and began to walk, soft footfalls carrying her along the floor as watchful eyes monitored those around her. She would stop by a small vendor selling a mixture of food called "forgrent" but destiny recognized it as nearly a thousand different names but its original name was ice cream. She placed a few bits of the nexus' currency on the counter for a Sunday and then took it out to sit on the tables just outside, watching people as the flavor met her tongue and was propelled across distances that could not be calculated and shared with every piece of her in every existence. Soft pouty lips curled into a pleased smile as she tasted the mix of chocolate, vanilla, and nuts. Yet a look at her betrayed what seemed like utter boredom

				(For Ebonas.)<br><br>An Asari, blue skinned biotic powered mind abilities included, saw Ebonas wandering the streets.&nbsp; Running quickly to catch up, the 'dancer' that had come to the Nexus fifty years ago shortly after her Maiden years had begun, was panting by the time she caught up.&nbsp; "Ebenas...how...are you today?&nbsp; There's...rumor going around...that we just got a new 'servant' working...the bar...and that Surelia and Randall might be planning to go...on vacation soon...provided they can find someone to watch the place while they're gone."&nbsp; Standing fully after having caught her breath, Erica looked up into the girl's face, knowing there was a warm person under the hard exterior.&nbsp; "You might get lucky and be the one that gets asked."&nbsp; Seeing Destiny not too far away, Erica waved at the 'woman' in friendly greeting before turning back to Ebenas again.&nbsp; "Well, what do you say?"<br><br>(NPC, might make her a PC though.)

				<strong>Ebenas</strong><br><br>Her quiet walk was soon interrupted by a girl of an unknown race, heading her way with a warm smile on her face. Something that had conflicted with the mystic's nature. Ebenas took a short glance at the girl, before staring back to the ground, continuing her stroll.<br><br>The bionic girl informed Ebenas about her mother and the headmaster planning a vacation, and rumors were circulating about someone temporarily receiving the torch, and the keys to the headmaster's office. Ebenas, being unaware, had a worried expression, not knowing how she would survive without her mother, as she has never spent a day on her own. The woman insisted on Ebenas taking over while the two are on vacation, but Ebenas still had a worried expression, Out of everyone in the brothel, she was the last one to be nominated such a powerful position, especially since she wasn't the "social" type. In addition, she was a dancer, and worker. As much as the offer was great, she wanted to refuse, but she was sure that her mother would suggest it as well.<br><br>Unable to speak, all she did was nod her head at the girl in response to the recommendation.

				<strong>Lydia - Delivering her message</strong><br><br>Lydia bounded out towards the city of In-Betweens, excited that no only did she get to get out, it would give her a chance to annoy Ebbie. It was the nickname she had so lovingly bestowed on her sister in all but blood Ebenas. She ran through the streets, her movement agile almost like a cat until she spotted Ebenas. she ducked behind a house, climbing to the roof before jumping to the light post off to the side, where she promptly hung herself by her knees until her face poked right up before Ebenas. <br><br>"Hi Ebbie." She said far too cheerfully for anyone into her 'sister's' head. "I missed you." She would eventually give her the message, but Lydia always liked to play with her sister before she told her what she wanted, or in this case what mother wanted.

				<strong>Ebenas</strong><br><br>While her interaction with the blue-skinned girl was heading towards a conclusion, another was going to make quite a sneaky introduction. Ebenas was heading directly towards the brothel when she could has a suspicious feeling of her own, as if someone was trying to give her a fright. One step forward was when a small girl hung from a market roof above her, giving her a smile.<br><br><strong>"Hi Ebbie, I missed you."</strong>, said the stealthy fire-colored girl.<br><br>That's when Ebenas soon realized it was her "sister" Lydia. Ebenas trusted a select few of characters in the brothel: Her mother, and after her mother was Lydia, because, just like Ebenas, Lydia was a trustworthy, and loyal, person to her family. Ebenas doesn't like the nickname Lydia gave her, but she understood it was because of Lydia's childish nature, so Lydia was the only person that Ebenas would agree on calling her "Ebbie".<br><br>Ebenas nodded back to Lydia was a little grin, which was a sign that her spirit was beginning to warm up.<br><br>"<em>Likewise<em>.", Ebena's voice transferred into Lydia's mind.</em></em>

				Lydia could see her sister was a little surprised by her entrance. She flipped off of the light post and landed agilely in front of her sister, a large grin playing on her lips. "Did you have fun in the market Ebbie?" She said as she moved beside her sister, intent to walk with her back to the market. There was something Lydia was supposed to do, it was nagging at her but she couldn't quite remember what it was as she began to skip merrily through the street, yet keeping time with her sister's steps. It was something no one but Lydia would really understand how she could do this. She bit her lip as she tried to think of why she had been sent out to Ebenas in the first place, her little wings flapping behind her with each step. <br><br>Then she remembered. "Hey Ebbie, Mother would like to talk to you about something, she sent me to come and find you." Lydia was not only the page for her mother, she had a keen sense of tracking Ebenas when most couldn't. Perhaps it was because they could communicate telepathically, it might have given her a connection to her sister that no one else could have. She knew her mother could communicate with Ebenas, but she wasn't sure if they had this same connection as they always sent Lydia to find her.

				Destiny looked up at the woman as if she were trying to solve a puzzle and from beyond the dimensional barrier she could gather the informatoin about this curious race. Asari, psychic gifted race that exist in dimension 576. Known for their longevity lasting upwards to a thousand years as well as the capability to breed with any galactic local race. She waited for only a few more seconds till the language information had been sent and then she began to speak, fluently in the woman's native tongue. "The seat is free you may use it at your lesuire." she said in an even tone, eyes still looking over the woman as information was sent to and from the other pieces of herself. "I am Destiny."

				Nia wondered the square taking in the shops and kiosks of merchants selling their wares. She was dressed in a simple knee length white sundress embroidered with little yellow flowers and a dressy pair white ankle boots, a looker in every sense of the word. She had long since grown accustom to the way most men, and some women, view her since it was no secret that she worked in a brothel. Given a few examples in the past doled out equally by her and her mate most people now knew better than to try and cross her but it certainly didn't stop the leers, the cat calls or the propersitions the usually come her way whenever she was about town. <br><br>The day was pleasant with a cool breeze as she went about her shopping with her basket in hand. A breeze waft by teasing the loose tendrils of hair about her face making her reach up and tuck the loose lock of rich dark chocolate brown hair behind her ear. Stopping at the fresh produce stall she checked the quality and ripeness of some of their vegetables, the ones she found acceptable were placed in her basket and the vendor paid.&nbsp; <br><br>Ash had went on another one of his 'side jobs' and was suppose to be back soon so she intended to make him a nice home cooked dinner. It still surprised her how well she and Ash had fitted into their new lives here in the City of In-Betweens. When they had first arrived they had been so confused as they had never heard of this realm in all their travels but since they were looking to settle down for a bit it seemed to be the best place to start. Luckily their skills quickly earned them employment at the Nexus; she as a bartender and her mate as one of the enforcers of the establishment, though he was known to freelance on the side if the price of the job was right.&nbsp; Hopefully he would be home tonight she hoped as their bed had always felt so big and lonely without him there to fill the empty spaces. <br><br>As she went about the rest of her shopping she came across two familiar people. "Hello Lydia, Ebenas. How are the both of you today." she asked with a cheerful expression on her face.<br><br>

				Lydia turned as she heard the cheerful voice of Nia, one of her favorite people at the brothel. "Nia!" She squealed as she ran over and hugged her. "Ebbie, look!" She said in her head, knowing Ebenas would not like other people knowing the nickname she had given to her sister. She may not be a sweet demon all the time, but where Ebenas was concerned Lydia was always protective and would never let anyone hurt her. Lydia was technically older then her "sister" but she wasn't mentally and most understood this, including Ebenas. "Where's Ash Nia?" She asked with a pout on her tiny face.

				<strong>Erica - Getting to know Destiny a bit...</strong><br><br>Surprised at the woman's perfect use of the Asari language, Erica let her deep green eyes open wide in surprise before chuckling to herself as she sat down.&nbsp; "I thank ya Destiny, and it's a pleasure to meet you.&nbsp; Goddess above, I've been on my feet all day."&nbsp; She groaned, smiling despite her protests as she sat down, glad for the reprieve, brief as it might be.&nbsp; She'd take it though without complaint as she tried to get a bead on the android woman beside her, unaware she was quite powerful in her own right.&nbsp; "So, what brings you to this void between worlds Destiny?"&nbsp; She asked, curious by nature, and it was showing as her green eyes scanned over the 'girl' beside her slowly, wondering briefly if she'd be interesting in melding or just mating together for the sheer pleasure of it rather than try to make another Asari.&nbsp; She wasn't ready for that either way, but sex for the sheer joy of it, that Erica could handle.

				Lydia smiled at Nia as she asked what she had been up to. "Oh, mummy has me running around doing all sorts of fun things. I get to bring her Sharl and Ebenas today and yesterday I got to go and visit Grandpapa." She said excitedly, her mom had sent her to Kalosis to deliver a message to Surelia's father. "Of course, I got into his bathroom and made a right mess of things, so he wasn't too happy to see me." She said with a giddy laugh. She had arrived when he was bathing and he was surprised to see her to say the least. She'd had to dodge flying bars of soap as he shouted many obscenities to her. It was quite entertaining to her.

				Destiny watched her, deciphering everything she could about the Asari race her other parts had discovered in the past and were trying to discover even now. She did not recognize the name but she was unsure if the individual just wasnt famous enough or if the other pieces of herself had just not discovered the information yet. "I exist here as a single piece, a relay to every other piece of myself across dimensions and planets beyond the rim of this nexus. As a single unit I observe the cultural mish mash of this place and apply beneficial cultural beliefs to worlds in my control or under my protection.

				Nia laughed, "Knowing you as I do I'm fairly certain I don't want to know what happened" Lydia was actually not that much younger than herself but seemed to exude this child quality that made her seem do much younger than her years. She had often wondered about her background but given her own she could accept that when Lydia was willing she would tell her without being asked. "If neither of you are in too much of a hurry how about we go get some ice cream - my treat." she said.

				"OOOOOOOH!" Lydia squealed as she mentioned ice cream. Turning to her sister she looked at her with pleading eyes. "Please Ebenas?" She said, begging to go for ice cream and knowing her mother wouldn't let her if she had known, simply because she didn't believe that when she sent Lydia out to do something that it should be interfered with. But she didn't care, the prospect of a frozen, sweet treat was enough to make her defy anything her mother would say or do.<br>

Anything with sugar would set Lydia off into a sweet tooth frenzy.<br><br>"Ice Cream would be nice.", Ebenas stated into Lydia's mind, yet in the outside, she only nodded with a short grin.

				Lydia squealed with delight as Ebenas agreed that they could go for ice cream and grabbed both Ebenas's hand and Nia's as she pulled them towards the ice cream shop in town. She was determined to have her sweets and eat it too, not caring that her mother had wanted Ebenas to come to her as quickly as possible. Once the reached the shop, Lydia let go of them and looked at all the flavors there. So many choices were before her eyes that she thought she was going to die and go to hell. For her that was the same as mortals going to heaven. "I want pistachio, Caramel chocolate swirl and strawberry cheesecake in a waffle cone." She told them excitedly.

"Is there a particular flavor you would like?" she asked. If Nia had know known Lady Surelia's policy on sending Lydia on errands she might have delayed offering the frozen treat until after her job was complete. But as it was Lydia is seemed to truly be in a happy mood and Ebenas by extension seemed a bit more relaxed around her.
