• Nobles of Null is a forum based roleplay site where sci-fi and magic collide. Here, Earth remains fractured and divided despite humanity reaching out to the stars. Worse still, the trans-human slaves of one major power have escaped, only to establish their own Empire, seething with resentment at abuses of the past. Even the discovery of aliens, though medieval in development, has failed to rally these squabbling children of Earth together with its far darker implications. Worse still, is the discovery of the impossible - magic. Practiced by the alien locals, nearly depleted and therefore rare, its reality warping abilities remains abstract and distant to the general populace. All the while, unseen in the darkness of space, forces from without threaten to press in. For those with eyes opened by insight, it is clear that an era is about to end, and that a new age will dawn.

    IDS Yīnghuā - Log 2.0: "If you are far from the enemy..."

    There was a moment of awkward silence as one of their number remained quiet. "And 'Mister Big-and-Quiet' here is Captain Sun Wen, acting as one of our bodyguards," Hoshiko broke the pause. Since Xian had excused herself to head to the action, she had one 'big and quiet' less to introduce. "To...

    There was something far off towards the perimiter. Something moving. "Heh....heheahahaha!" The Aos'Si laughed at them. "I'm sorry, but that was perhaps the first un-curated expression I had seen on one of your kind," she gestured towards Hoshiko. "No deviled delights before bed," the Aos'Si...

    IDS Yīnghuā - Log 2.0: "If you are far from the enemy..."

    In their virtuality, the tiger princess continued to stew as she drank her cocktail. Her expectations for them was low, but her demeanor started to change once something entirely unexpected started to happen. In meatspace, the Aos'Si reached out to delicately take Jun's ecstasy laced Popsicle...

    A weapon was drawn. A pointed ear twitched. A busty bimbo opened her mouth. "What." Golden eyes opened as the Aos'Si emissary realized the situation, her back still turned to the strangers. Meanwhile, Hoshiko rubbed her temples in virtual space as a duplicate of herself appeared to start mixing...

    IDS Yīnghuā - Log 2.0: "If you are far from the enemy..."

    "Uuuugh," the tiger princess groaned. "It is," she referred to Jun's political input...which was surprisingly accurate. In the end though, time moved differently for the Daqin. While they did one thing in virtual space, their bodies were doing something else in meatspace. The new governor of...

    Hoshiko gave a condescending 'snerk' at Jun's reaction. "Have you tried showing your husband what real sex is? It's supposed to be way better than VR stuff. Inbuilt safeguard and all that." In many instances, time moved a bit differently for the Daqinren, and this was one such instance. As they...

    For a moment, Hoshiko looked confused, but she tried to remain professional by addressing Oumijia first. "The Chongwu are definitely not smart enough to understand our intent." Pulling up a cloth napkin, she put it over one of the Shāomai for emphasis. "They barely have the object permanence...

    "Stupid cow." Wen grumbled. He had to admit though: Jun was right. Riding on the invitation of an Aos Si group would maximize their intelligence gathering: they will gather more information by actually being there. "Which Aos Si tribe can we influence to invite us?" Wen asked. Meanwhile, he...

    IDS Yīnghuā - Log 2.0: "If you are far from the enemy..."

    "Pffft!" Hoshiko failed to not laugh at Jun's idea. "Getting invited by the Aos'Si?" the princess scoffed. "That's! Uh...well..." Unfortunately, she became more uncomfortable the more she thought about it, and the more sense it made. "I guess they're not a monolithic group, so one of those...

    Though she eyed Oumijia at first, hoping the newcomer would speak up, the silence allowed the regulars to chime in during the awkward pause instead. As they did so though, Hoshiko tossed out a cup of some NPC's tea over her shoulder and poured herself a new one. "I suppose the Aos'Si can detect...

    IDS Yīnghuā - Log 2.0: "If you are far from the enemy..."

    "Hmmmm..." For a moment, it seemed like Hoshiko was actually considering what Jun was saying, but Wen brought up some of the more important questions. "That's the thing. Intel is spotty. We don't know the parties involved, and since we are acting on our mother-empress's behalf, she's probably...

    Empire of Daqin, Pínqióng (貧窮) System Tiāntáng (天堂), High Orbit Heavy Transport 172673-262688 Hoshiko was not the mother-empress. "Listen up you Zhūtóu (豬頭)!" the short tiger-princess leaped onto the Jiǔjiā (豬頭) table. All around her, men were quickly throwing out kicks and punches in a grand...

    IDS Yīnghuā - Log 1.0: Swift as the Wind and Quick as Lightning (風馳電掣)

    With all told and done, Wen made a money-tip motion with his hand towards the sheepish woman, and Jun found herself with an extra 10 credits.

    IDS Yīnghuā - Log 1.0: Swift as the Wind and Quick as Lightning (風馳電掣)

    "AAAAAAAAH! YOU'RE ALL DRIVING ME INSANE!" The meatspace-borne scream of agony was so loud that other Daqinren in the neighboring laboratories poked their heads out, only to hide in their work the moment their eyes fell on the tiger princess. Huffed up, tail held high in a furious bristle in...
