FROGS!

[cursed_bird]

::There is a monitor in the Nexus, roughly a meter high, and beneath it, there is a portal. The monitor blinks on, and the portal opens, disgorging frogs. Tiny, toxic frogs, all the colours of the rainbow, and huge, dusty, bass-voiced frogs, and frogs of all sizes, hues, and species in between. Blinky frogs, stinky frogs, frogs who sit and stare,

"My powers, naturally."

[cursed_bird]

::Three little red frogs seem to think that your fuzzy collar would be the perfect place to find bugs. Up they go!::

What powers do you possess?

[man_of_means]

"Super-human strength and agility, an unbreakable shield, regeneration, heightened senses, you name it."

[cursed_bird]

So your powers protect you from the outside world. What about the inside world?

[cruxhunter]

"Crosses and holy water bullets."

[cursed_bird]

Do you often have need of these things?

[cruxhunter]

"Not personally. But knowing I have 'em makes me feel a lot safer."

[cursed_bird]

What is it that you need protection from?

[gravity_splode]

A knee-high wave of frogs is rather less of a bother when one is hanging upside in mid-air. How exactly he can see the screen from up there is not entirely clear, but he apparently manages it somehow.

The things I can do.

[cursed_bird]

What are those things?

[gravity_splode]

Now, why should I tell you that? Seems to me it'd put you at a bit of an advantage.

[cursed_bird]

Are you afraid of being at a disadvantage?

[deathhimself]

"Safety is an illusion."

Kaito watches the frogs with a mixture of caution and curiosity.

[cursed_bird]

Many things are an illusion. How would you approach the illusion of safety?

[deathhimself]

"With caution and disbelief. What about yourself?"

[cursed_bird]

Force. Deceit. Fear. How do you approach a concept while disbelieving in that concept?

[victormakesart]

Victor was cautious. They were pretty, but they looked poisonous and she wasn't sure if the Nexus would protect her from poison.

"Coffee. T-talkin'. Folks who're stronger 'n me."

[cursed_bird]

What do coffee and speaking protect you from?

[victormakesart]

"Nothin'. It just mellows me out, puts me at ease. Sometimes when I talk 'nough, I get m'self outta trouble. Makes me feel safe. 'S long as I can talk, I ain't never completely lost."

[cursed_bird]

Do you often find yourself in the kind of trouble that requires talking?

::That frog, there? The warty, grapefruit-sized one? He's very fixated on your shoulder, isn't he? Maybe he wants to sit there?::
