Do be careful of the flaming sword in the Nexus, everyone.

...the hell? That isn't the flaming sword, is it? I thought they lost that thing years ago.

[secretarybird]

It is a flaming sword, at any rate. I gather there have been other signs of the apocalypse lately as well.

I shouldn't worry too much, dear. I think it's someone else's God.

[_ruthven_]

How remarkably tiresome.

[dame_de_pique]

I was planning to find a deity and ask about that, thanks.

I think I've lucked out in that my world only has the usual signs of the on-coming apocalypse and nothing new.

[secretarybird]

Well, I admit I have not yet studied this particular flaming sword in detail. I try to avoid the Gods in the Nexus who dislike seeing others held before them. But if your world starts showing unusual signs of the on-coming apocalypse, you are quite welcome to take refuge in my temple.

[dame_de_pique]

Thank you, I do appreciate that.

Speaking of the impending apocalypse, I've been looking into moving from my world into another to avoid the local one. I feel a bit of a coward for it, but I think I'd rather miss the show.

[secretarybird]

Huu. It might well count as a sin of some variety to avoid your world's apocalypse, but I don't blame you for being tempted. Have you picked out a new home?

[slytherin_spy]

Is the nexus itself subject to Armageddon? I would have thought that such a thing would be world or universe specific.

Though I suppose a dirty great flaming sword has as much right to wandering the multiverse as anything else. If it asks about relationship advice, I and the wine cellar may need to come visiting.

[secretarybird]

Well, the Nexus has already shown itself susceptible to influence coming from powerful individuals. But I have seen no indications of the world's end in my own afterlife. If the Nexus becomes uninhabitable, and my temple in Theoi fails, you and your wife are (as always) welcome in the Moon.

This being the multiverse, I expect it can find many other lonely flaming swords with similar interests. Perhaps it could advertise?

[slytherin_spy]

Thus far there seems to be no issue at the school. The SEP fields are holding well.

I would imagine that if a self-motile flaming sword could find more of its kind, it would do without much difficulty. ...Now there is what doesn't look very much like a lion.

I may advise the staff to draw the curtains entirely.

[dame_de_pique]

If it does start asking, we'll just send Harkness after the thing and that should keep everyone quiet for a little while.

...Wait, what?

Jeez louise I spend a few days sans Nexus and suddenly it's the smeggin' apocalypse.

[secretarybird]

It's just like those monotheistic gods, all terribly showy, Me Me Me.

[h_hollister]

Yeah, and their snacks stink, too. You at least have sandwiches and beer.
