OOC: Yes, but now Skyra is gonna get jealous.
IC: Skyra"I know the Ga-koro inn and pub has plenty of good drinks, like the epic tea..." Skyra commented. "You know, as soon as Destiny gets here, we could just...fly there, but...it will only fit about three of us. And Onuzek is....um....too...ya he can't ride her..."
IC: Volin"Don't worry, Laserbreak and I will go. Like I said, doesn't take a lot of people to grab drinks. Ready to go?" he asked to the Toa of air.
OOC: I agree too! ![]()
IC(Sagom and Yasashiv)
"Would...you like me to come?" the Toa asks Volin, not sure if he wanted her to come. But, that couldn't be right. Could it?Blood. It was everywhere. Flowing from wounds and gathering in small pools along the battlefield. Beside her was her father and to her left was Nost. Her two loves, the ones that mean so much to her.They were attacking a common enemy which soon turned into defending themselves. Swords flashed and the next thing she knew her father was dead. She calls out his name, but the next wave of attacks stops her from saying anything further. She blocks and parries the attacks, and the next thing she knew a large Skakdi was standing over Nost. With one fast stab, a large sword silenced the Ko-Toa."Nost!" cries out Sagom as she opens her eyes; startled by the dream. She sits up quickly, almost dropping the Ko-Toa leaning against her.-Mef Man
IC: Skyra"Fine..." Skyra said crossing his arms. he promptly laid back down in the sand. "I'll be right here...being bored...if you need me..." Another screech was heard, much louder this time. "Ah, Destiny is almost here..."
IC: Onuzek"Onuzek doesn't like gukko very much," he told the group, "They alway make him fall off."
IC: Laserbeak, CoastLaserbeak hopped to her feet. "Ready!" Unlike most, the toa was oblivious to any unfolding tension.
IC(Yasashiv)
"Just...you two going?" she asks, still trying to mantain her kindness. After all, that was how she got her name. But, the thought of the two going alone made the Toa jealous. Extremely jealous.-Mef Man
IC: SkyraSkyra looked at Onuzek, "Well that's perfect! Cause you're not riding her anyway!" Skyra then addressed Yasashiv, "I know how you feel, at least I think I do..." A huge shadow of a bird suddenly appeared, with a loud shreak, Destiny landed behind Skyra, her beak right above his head. "Oh hello girl, you made it." Destiny lowered her head, and Skyra stroked her neck. "At least you won't leave me..."
IC: Laserbeak, Unknowingly causing Damage, CoastLaserbeak remianed oblivious to the rising tensions. She mistook Yasashiv's question as one born of fear. "Yep, looks like it. Don't worry, though. Since Skyra and Onuzek are staying here, they can make sure that no nasty rahi comes and nibbles on your toes."Then Destiny landed. And Laserbeak was taken aback by the majestic bird. Her mouth hung open.
IC(Yasashiv)
"Right," Yasashiv says slowly before looking toward Volin. Maybe he could say some words that would lighten her spirits.-Mef Man
IC: Volin"Yeah, we'll be back soon with some drinks." was all Volin had to say, he too oblivious that he might be causing potential damage to his relationship with his new friends. The gukko bird was pretty but it didn't exactly pick the Toa of plasma's interest: he preferred the more dangerous kind of rahi, the ones that would put up a good fight and give you a thrill.Taking Laserbreak by the shoulder, Volin led the open-mouthed Toa of air and began to walk further away from the group, towards Ga-Koro."So tell me, how'd you meet up with Skyra?"
IC: Laserbeak, CoastLaserbeak grimaced. "Long story, there. You really wanna know?"
IC: Volin"Yeah, actually." said Volin in a curious tone.
IC: OnuzekHe watched Laserbeak and Volin go, before turning to the bird that was almost as big as him."She's pretty," he commented on the bird.
IC: "We can stop worrying it will can control you like a puppet then," Knidia said, partly jokingly, "If it returns control to you it does not want it itself."
IC: Emotia"Ya, as long as it get's what it want's it won't." She muttered. "Then again, there's someone always...excited about something." The pain was gone, she was feeling a bit better, but now she was in a hospital. "Say...I'm feeling better, do I really have to stay here now..." Emotia guessed Knidia would make her stay, but she thought it was worth a shot.
IC: Laserbeak, Walking to Ga-KoroLaserbeak sighed, before launching into her tale. "Believe it or not, up until mere hours before we met you, Skyra and I were enemies. Actually, at one point, Skyra held a blade to me neck and told me that if I didn't surrender he would slit my throat. Anyway. As you know, I was formerly a mercenary. My team would get hired for all sorts of jobs. A day or two ago, a job came in from an insane Toa of Iron named Tarn. He had a grudge against this titan, Krayzikk who was holed up in a hospital in Ta-Koro. He told us all civilians had been evacuated, that only combatants remained. As we would later learn, he lied. We stormed the hospital and I found myself facing Skyra. He and I knew each other, in a roundabout way, before then. I used to be a thief, and he was the Gukko Force member in charge of some of my cases. He never did catch me. Anyway, we engaged in combat and it took both him and another toa to finally take me down, despite the fact I eventually surrendered. One thing led to another and we got drunk together. And you know the rest from there."
IC: Volin"Well, that's rather...different."said Volin, taking in the explanation of the strange events. Getting drunk with the enemy...sounded like the type of thing he'd do, leaving out the getting drunk part. He smirked."Sounds like fun. I do hope you know I'm genuinely sorry for my rudeness."
IC: Laserbeak, Walking to Ga-KoroLaserbeak waved a hand. "Don't worry about it. It takes a lot for me to hold a grudge." Her eyes twinkled. "Which is part of the reason I ended up in a bar with a tos who shortly before was my enemy. You were in the most danger when I was drunk and being insulted, if it had come to a fight, I would have had significantly less self-restraint than usual."
IC: "You should at least wait until the doctor returns," Knidia suggested, "You would just have to come back if it turned out you were sick."
IC: Volin"Me? In danger? Preposterous." chuckled Volin. As much as Volin hated his experience of him 'dying', he always loved a good fight and dangerous situations. The Toa of plasma lived for the thrill such things provided, addicted to its feeling."I bet you twenty widgets I could beat you in a sparring match." betted Volin in a friendly manner, also indicating that he thought that he could have taken on the Toa of air on their first encounter.
IC: Laserbeak, Walking"Your on." Laserbeak teased. "So, what is your story?"
IC (Kyara) (Shores of Naho Bay)Well, there was an awkward question.I'm actually here because I just woke up from a nap and found myself lying on a beach I've never seen before. Oh yeah, and I don't know who I am.Two options: I could tell her the truth, and probably scare her away; or I could lie, and maybe get some answers."Yeah, it just looked like a nice day so I decided to spend it outside. Looks like you guys had the same idea."IC(Yasashiv)
"Yes, the sun does make for a rather beautiful day," replies the Toa. "What brings you to the beach today? The pleasant weather?" she asks, curious. The being looked somewhat confused, but seemed to be sane unlike most she encountered. It was nice to speak with another female that still had a brain.
IC: Emotia"Okay..." she grumbled. "Ugh, today has been the longest day...ever..."IC: Skyra"Sure did!" Skyra said to Kyara. "Want to pet Destiny? She won't bite."
IC: Volin"Long story but since you were kind enough to tell me yours, I figure I'll do the same. Where to start..." Volin clapped his hands together and started rubbing them against each other while he thought of what he should reveal about himself."I'm an orphan and second oldest of three triplet brothers, for starters and here's a cool fact about us: we all started off as Matoran and now we're all Toa. Anyways, nothing really interesting there so I'll move on to the more juicy stuff. I set off on my own to explore the island, do some exciting things and carry out some odd jobs. I 'died' like I explained, came back from the dead (nope, not a zombie) and I set off for Ta-Koro.""Honestly, I've been searching for the son of a Muaka who attacked me but with no luck. While in Ta-Koro, I happened upon Yasashiv so I asked her out on a date. She said yes, things were going nice and smooth and then you showed up. Bringing us to the present moment. Questions?"
IC(Sagom and Yasashiv)
He must be out.Sagom was glad to see that her yelling hadn't woken up Nost. She sighs relieved before slightly stretching."I guess that was why we came," replies the Toa, looking in the direction of Volin. "Either that or he came to have a nice relaxing date with her," she adds while motioning toward the beings walking off. "I came with him thinking we'd get to know each other better, but it looks as if he's more interested in her."She suddenly felt odd for telling a stranger about her troubles, but they were both females. She'd understand, right?-Mef Man
IC: OnuzekHe floated towards the new being, saying, "Onuzek, by the way."He was wondering why so many people were showing up.
IC: Laserbeak, WalkingLaserbeak chuckled. "How exactly did you 'die', again?" Though the sound could not be heard, the distinctive movement that accompanied laughter could be seen by anyone observing them.
IC: SkyraSkyra cringed when Yasashiv said that. Hopefully she was wrong about that. "Oye...don't say things like that...I'm sure there just getting the drinks...like they said..."
IC(Yasashiv)
"Hopefully, but how do you know?" she asks the being. "The could be doing anything alone."-Mef Man
IC: Volin"Well uh, believe it or not, I make stupid mistakes too. Followed some guy into a back alley and suddenly BAM! He's slashing away at me with a knife!" said Volin, really getting into the storytelling, actually acting and making swiping movements as if he was holding a knife."I got him pretty bad with my plasma, burned his face, I think but in the end, he got a small cut on me with a poisoned blade and I was rushed to the hospital. Horrible sensation, getting poisoned and all. Convulsing, stomach pains, everything about it is painful and gross. My heart gave in but it seems the little sucker wanted a second shot at life. I got an antidote administered to me just in time and well, here I am, good as new."The two beings were not beginning to approach the gate and once they'd cross into Ga-Koro, they'd be out of view.
IC: Skyra"Well, I don't know, but I think we could give them the benefit of the doubt, a little faith, you know?" He said as he stroked Destiny's neck.
IC(Yasashiv)
The Toa nods her head at the being, wanting to not doubt Volin. That wasn't exactly a good way to start off a relationship.-Mef Man
IC (Kyara) (Shores of Naho Bay)I didn't know much about relationships, to be honest. And if I ever had, I'd forgotten, so this Toa's fears didn't really strike a chord with me. But what did make me feel for her was the innocence on her face. She didn't have to worry about where she was or that she might accidentally incinerate a village. All she wanted was a nice day with the guy she liked.Still, that didn't explain why she was telling me this. I'd only met her -what? five minutes ago? I looked at the other Toa, who was doing his best to cheer her up, and decided the nice thing to do would be to do the same.So I mustered up a sympathetic expression. "I'm sure everything will work out."
IC(Yasashiv)
"Thank you, Sister," she replies while smiling. "And you too," adds the Toa to Skyra.-Mef Man
IC: Onuzek"Why whats wrong? He stated obliviously, "Onuzek's name is Onuzek, if you didn't hear before."
IC: Skyra"Nothing! Nothing is wrong! Say..you need help with those tents Onuzek?" Snelly blurred out, trying to change the subject.
IC: Onuzek"Uhh, ok," he said to Skyra.He began to assemble the tents, with help from some gravity.
OOC: This post makes me feel very evil, at least when viewed from Yasashiv's eyes. :PIC: Laserbeak, Ga-KoroLaserbeak put an arm around Volin's shoulder, partly to pat him on the back and partly to stop herself from falling over laughing at his acting out of the story. "Ah, the old poisoned knife. I don't bother with poison on knives, I use blowdarts." With that, the two rounded the corner.
OOC: Oh, I'll join you
IC: VolinVolin put an arm around Laserbreak's waist to help her from falling over as the Toa of air's weight bore down on his shoulder. It looked like he had misjudged her the first time they met; she was actually pretty fun to be around.Now that they were in the village of Ga-Koro, they made their way to a liquor shop where a bored Ga-Matoran stood at a desk, dwindling her thumbs together. All around the store stood some shelves with all sorts of drinks."Pick whatever you like, it's on me."
