Because it's about time.

[zhilbar]

Oh, hey, look at the gigantic shiny dragon! He hasn't done a question in doubled-up FOREVER, you know. In fact, it's entirely possible that half the Nexus doesn't know who He is!

Eh, details.

"All right, Nexus! We're apparently being invaded, again, by scruffy berks with mandatory idiot-policies. If we want to do something about this

"A flag, Z? How's that gonna help?"

[zhilbar]

"..Did you even peruse the attendant media, Alec? Well, no matter."

Semi-shrug. Because shrugging is difficult, dash it!

"At any rate, as the latest invader's reasons for attacking are utterly nonsensical, nonsense is obviously the way to fight it! It's perfectly illogical, you see."

In other words: Pure Friggin' Magic, alright?

[elementwizard]

He laughs, "I saw the media. And he's not really invading so much as trying tag us all like a flock of sheep. Which is still idiotic. My government's not gonna stand for it."

[zhilbar]

Talon is raised! Aha, point! "And yet! The only reason they think they can even potentially have jurisdiction to get away with that is our lack of a flag!"

Zhilbar had also been considering some titular Nexus ruler, the kind that couldn't really do anything but could always be brought up for people asking just who was 'in charge.'

He'd actually been thinking Ginger would be good for that! Just the type of person who, when approached by people wanting treaties/concessions/what have you, would answer 'No, go away, and I'm putting an embargo on supplies to your universe.' and then go about her day.

Then, of course, there would be People Who Just Didn't Get It, and would make a hash out of everything.. plus, even Ginger might get power-hungry, so no.

Yay for long expository narrative that serves no purpose at all!

[wild_brat]

((You win, so hard. Seriously. I'm laughing so hard I'm crying.))

"Damn, but that guy looks familair." Curt blinks and shakes his head. Anyway...

"Hey, Z. Did I miss an invasion?" The scruffy, just-rolled-out-of-someone-else's-bed look would indicate he hasn't been keeping up on the news. "I wouldn't mind getting in on a little ass kicking."

[zhilbar]

((Bwehehe. Thankew, thankew!))

"Heyo, Curt! We're currently in the 'twenty-four-hour notice' before we start getting invaded again. It's another Iron Man, and they always taste nasty.. but at least you've still got time for gratuitous violence!"

And isn't that always a cause for yay?

[wild_brat]

"That happen a lot around here?" Curt scratches his stomach and blinks blearily around the Nexus. Huh. Looks so peaceful.

"Gratuitous violence sounds good to me. As long as no one minds if I set stuff on fire. Cool?" Grins.

[zhilbar]

"It's a bit of a recurring experience. Someone tries to take over every so often, just one of those things." The calm before the.. Something or other!

Zhilbar's kind of looking forward to seeing something like the AlterMarvel assault on the AV field, actually. It bears the potential for comedy GOLD.

"You're talking to a dragon, lad. Setting stuff on fire is a specialty. Just remember to focus on the other side, okay?" And there is grinning back!

[vicioussweetie]

"But what if we don't want the Nexus to be a country? Have you considered this? I sure don't want it to be. I like it the way it is."

*So very locked like a locking thing*

[zhilbar]

"As if there's going to be any major changes. Do you really think that I'd want to make this into a proper country? Ordinances? Lawsuits? Taxes!? No, thank you; that's hard enough when it's My worshippers that I'm dealing with!"

Le sigh.

"I'm not making a bid to conquer the Nexus Myself, here. All I'm saying is we add some window-dressing, just in case it might prove useful. This isn't a Grand Scheme, just 'Oh look a flag!'"

Re: *So very locked like a locking thing*

[vicioussweetie]

"Oh, I see. You're scared. Pity."

Re: *So very locked like a locking thing*

[zhilbar]

...

"That's.. incredibly petty of you, actually. I've already eaten at least one of him, and there's not a hope in Hades he has of doing anything lasting to this place. That doesn't mean I like being annoyed by these constant, meaningless invasion attempts. So please, do quit being so small-minded and backbiting. I know it's difficult for a Fae to comprehend, but not everyone is as much of a twit as you lot."

Zhilbar's never really taken to accusations of cowardice. Especially when (From His perspective) it's fear of a bunch of ants, as claimed by another, slightly larger ant.

[wantedtyphoon]

Invaded again! Why, it just seems like yesterday people were trying to control this place!

Maaaaan, I never get a break.

ANYWAY I'm... not so good at designing flags! I'm not sure if it'll help~ but it's worth a shot instead of fighting.

[zhilbar]

"Honestly, it's like locusts! Every so often, here they come again.." Eh, digression.

"Admittedly, it may not help. But it's something, at least, and hopefully we'll wind up with a cool flag out of the deal!"

How can this NOT be a winning situation, after all?

[wantedtyphoon]

This is VERY true! Maybe we should make a few flags. JUST IN CASE, YOU NEVER KNOW.

[zhilbar]

"I admire your ideas and wish to subscribe to your newsletter, sir! The greater the amount of flags, the more fun to be had by all."

Excuses for artistry. Such sweet, sweet excuses they are!

[bumblebee_bot]

"How 'bout the words 'Slag Happens' or an equivalent term?"

[zhilbar]

"Hmm, that could work. Got anything you could show? It doesn't have to be FANCY, after all.."

Slag happens so very MUCH in the Nexus, after all. Ask any LOLee!

[bumblebee_bot]

"Nah, design isn't my thing."

[zhilbar]

And now we have a Grin. "Still, did you see what we've gotten so far?" (Post update!)
