Welcome to Gaia! ::

*Johnathan whirled around at the sound of the newcomer.*

"Bit of a crowd tonight. I could clean it up, if I had the materials to do so. Cleaning supplies aren't exactly Brotherhood standard issue."

*He then glanced to Cora, giving her a militaristic nod.*

"I am sorry O... Cora, but the best way to show the operation of your right arm is to use it, is it not? I ensure to keep the safety on at all times when not firing. That is IF people would leave it alone."

*He glared back at Clare and Hanley.*

*Tavin smiled at Malazar*

As always, you seem to be brimming with questions.

*Tavin put his hand up at the offered glass*

No thank you. I'm not thirsty. Please... Ask me your questions. As always, I'll do my best to answer them.

*Tavin grinned as Cora chastised Johnathan. No doubt she felt responsible for his action in firing off that SAW. Tavin had half a mind to stop her, but decided against it. The chances were that there would be more than enough fighting here, soon enough. Instead, he focused on Malazar and what he had to say*

"I've found many references since we last spoke on the subject of this Brink of Time. Apparently there are quite a few places similar to this one, but no where near as... complex in most cases. The Tavern theme seems to be a constant, but the Brink's ability to negate Magic and warp reality seem almost unique. They're called "Nexi" or simply a "Nexus." Does this term seem familiar at all?"

Malazar shrugs.

"Does it matter? What is considered fiction in one world is as real as you or I in another, more so in some. Where did it get the name Brink of Time by the way? I was curious about this, as it seems this place, has no time of its own. There is a reference of a "place" with a similar name existing in the end of existence, but from accounts of travellers to that place it does not seem to be one and the same."

He gestures around him to elaborate his point.

"So says the man with the big gun.." *Leaning back on the table, Clare almost jumped at her own words. That sort of childish behavior was beyond her..wasn't it? She wasn't use to acting in such a manor. Clearing her throat she sank down a little, feeling the table top press into her lower back.* "Clare..would be fine.."

"Though I don't remember getting your name.."

That's a good point. I've heard of a Nexus before... But from my understanding, it was of a different nature. A Nexus, if I remember correctly is a place where nothing exists.... But in this place.... You exist. And I exist, and other things exist. It may be a temporary existance, but it seems clear to me that by the definition, this place is indeed different than one of your Nexuses. Or did you say Nexi? Yeah. Similar, admittedly, but different in some very fundamental areas.
As for why I named it as I did. I simply named it what I thought appropriate. A place that does not exist in the boundry of time, but on the precipice of it. Thusly, "The Brink of Time"
