IC: SavinaSavina hadn't picked up on the sarcasm, though taming something like a mana-ko sounded...impossible, even for someone like her. A wolf? Now that made much more sense to her. She cocked her head at Kraeyn, "A wolf? Named...Dregier? You keep seeing him in your head?"
IC: KraeynKraeyn nodded, "Yes, as strange as it may sound I do keep seeing a wolf named Dregier in my head."
IC: Nik-Kolii, Yerith, Pordal, Yu'rekNik-Kolii kicked the Gukko's side once more. The bird landed."Which old friend wanted to meet at the bottom of a mountain?" the Air-Skakdi growled, impatiently."Our old friend Kofrem," Yerith answered, hopping off of the bird."Him, again?" Pordal chuckled. "Last time I saw him, he was savin' my life. We owe him one, don't we?""Exactly," Yerith said, walking toward the mountain. "He needs our help, we need his. Mekrof has hijacked control of some military command in Onu-Koro and Kofrem is leading the resistance."Kofrem the Skakdi walked out of the night, holding a torch."It is good to see you again," he said shaking everyone's hands. "Just walk down that tunnel and you should find Mekrof at the finest and largest inn."Pordal nodded and led the quartet into the tunnel."He's not going to help us?" Yu'rek asked."He's a coward like Nik-Kolii," Yerith answered. "He won't be fighting alongside us.""I heard that," Nik-Kolii said, pulling out his lighter.Yerith chuckled and lit a cigar.Nik-Kolii, Yerith, Pordal, Yu'rek to Onu-Koro...
IC: Kahuwa"I bet you that Dregier is your wolf version of Grecko, eh?"
IC: Savina"Do you know...where Dregier is?" Savina was quite curious now, and wanted to meet this wolf.
OOC: And here it is: The Big One. And by that, I mean the beginning of a beautiful relationship. *Pauses as everyone says "Aww"* But soon... THE END
*Pauses as everyone gasps*IC (Trakuda and Solia): As the day began to grow old, and another hut had been finished, Trakuda called Solia over to sit by the lake again. This time, it wasn't for a rest. It was for something very, very different. They sat where they had before: Trakuda on the rock, and Solia leaning against hit with her feet in the water."I figured out what that story was about earlier." Trakuda began."I figured." Solia replied with a smile.Trakuda hopped off his rock and sat next to her, "Then great minds do think alike."Solia smiled in amusement again, the sun casting long shadows of the two. Both of them took a second to briefly glance at the shadows, which from the angle it was at, made them look like their masks were touching. Trakuda ignored this, but Solia seemed provoked by it. She turned back to gaze wondrously into Trakuda's eyes."Look, Trakuda, I think you see it too. You've got to admit there's something between us. Something like...""A spark?""Yeah..." their faces drew closer together, their trembling lips reaching out to embrace each other, "Something like that..."They touched. First a short kiss, then they stared at each other for a second or two. It was then they broke into a full embrace, only breaking for short breaths and to say things like "Always you" and "I love you". The word love set Trakuda's nerves ablaze. He felt like he wasn't really in reality anymore, that for a few minutes the world stood still for Solia and Trakuda.Eventually they came apart, and could hardly take their eyes off each other.Finally Trakuda spoke, "Ever since Ga-Koro.. You looked so beautiful in the sunlight..." he reached out and brushed his hand against her mask, "Just like today..."Solia smiled shyly.Trakuda leaned back against the rock, and Solia lay against him. They lay there for a minute or so, eyes closed, enjoying the moment.OOC: And about time
Yes, that was soppy. Yes, it was unnescesarily dramatic. Whatever, I enjoyed this little relationship, so shush! ![]()
OOC: Enjoying making love to your own characters, wotsiznum
? No problem there, I'm just happy that you've given Alfon, the joker, something to work with.IC: AlfonAlfon, mischievous and devilish as he was, quietly followed Trakuda and Solia as they made their way to their little spot. Now was the time to eavesdrop to see whether his suspicions about them having a thing going on were right.And so they were. Alfon, hiding behind a nearby tree, observed the kissy time between the two lovebirds. As they began to settle down after their little scene, Alfon sneakily made his way up to the two."Trakuda, you sly dog!" exclaimed the Toa of electricity loudly for everyone to hear and hoping to scare the living daylights out of the couple. "Can I have a kiss too, Solia? Pretty please? I'm a good kisser!"
IC: KraeynKraeyn looked at Kahuwa, "You think I was able to tame a wolf?" Kraeyn then addressed Savina's question, "No, but I wish I did, he probably can help me remember my past."
OOC: Laughs were had, TX. Laughs were had.
IC: Trakuda and Solia jumped as Alfon appeared. He began to taunt them, and Trakuda almost felt ashamed. Wait a minute, why should he? This wasn't-Solia thought faster. She marched up to Alfon, and pointed her finger in his face, "How about a slap?" she said sweetly, which brought a smile to Trakuda's face.
IC: Alfon / Kahuwa"Feisty one, aren't you?" replied Alfon with a devilish smile. Expectations of this type of reaction were already present when he thought of this crazy scheme of his but it didn't scare the Toa of electricity."Trakuda, she's a keeper." he said winking to the little Matoran. Just to push his luck even further since he was bored, he figured he'd ask "So how about that kiss?""I think you're onto something, Frosty. If you've got that hunch, I say we go to Ko-Wahi and find this wolf. Although, how in Karz's name we'll find him is a mystery to me..."Kahuwa, still sitting down, was busy playing with a few tiny flames he was conjuring and tossing them back in forth in his hands like a ball."Who knows, maybe your memory will get a boost if we go there. Maybe we'll discover if you were the village cool dude or not..."
IC: Kraeyn"From what you've told me, I think anyone in Ko-Wahi is literally a cool dude." Kraeyn smiled, "So Savina you up for going to Ko-Wahi?" Kraeyn asked.
IC: Kahuwa"Yeeeaaaah! Come join us! Going to Ko-Wahi will be fun except arriving there will be...unwelcoming. I hate the cold..." said Kahuwa. As much as he hated the cold, the possibility of finding gorgeous women there still dangled in his mind. However, if Savina came, that would make Kahuwa's day.You're whack Kahuwa...
IC: Savina"Leave the...jungle? I...can't...I need to protect the rahi..." Savina said, though though of leaving her home was scary and unconformable. "Besides...it's....scary...out there..." OOC: Just coax her a little, she'll come. ![]()
IC: "All out, I'm afraid." Solia retorted. Trakuda hopped atop the rock and chose a different strategy,"Now, Alfon, you mean to tell me, you have never, EVER kissed a girl before? I mean, you're a Toa, shouldn't the ol' Ga-Toa be all over you?"
IC: Kraeyn"Come on Savina, it'll be fun. Plus according to Kahuwa, most Matoran find living in this forest scary. If you can do that, the mountains should be no problem. Please come, for me." Kraeyn pleaded.
IC: Alfon / KahuwaEven though Alfon had kissed a few girls in his time, he figured he'd have fun with Trakuda's little challenging question. Zipping in really closely to Solia, he gave her a quick, meaningless kiss on the lips before backing up away with a terrified smile on his face while his mind was yelling "Yikes!""Well I have now, shorty! And you got that right about Ga-Toa being all over me; Solia's probably thinking 'Oh Alfon, you handsome devil *giggle*'. Am I right?""For you? Pffft, come for me? I'm hot! Literally!" proclaimed Kahuwa cockily and jokingly. "But do come, Frosty will need to see what it's like to be around a female if he's to pick up any ladies in Ko-Wahi. Am I right, Frosty?" said the Ta-Toa with a teasing smile, edging Kraeyn with his elbow.
IC: KraeynKraeyn smiled, "But I'm the cool dude. Besides I don't really care about picking up a lady in Ko-Wahi, I just need to find that wolf."
IC: Kahuwa"Oh, you'll say that for now but once you see the ladies, I'm sure you'll change your mind. Pray that you don't have a girlfriend 'cause if she sees you with another girl, hooooooweeee! You're in trouble then. So how 'bout it Savina? Feel like travelling with the cool dude and the handsome devil?"
IC: SavinaSavina looked between the two Toa, one was rash and kinda...shallow, the other one was suffering from memory loss and missing his rahi companion. And there was that Toa of air as well, he hadn't said much, she didn't know what to think about him. "Well...I suppose I could do it...for the wolf..." Savina looked at Grecko, "You'll come with me? Right?" Grecko roared, it was anyone's guess if that was an answer or not. "Okay, I'll...go. As long as...I get to come back to the jungle when we find the wolf..." She hadn't left the jungle as long as she could remember, it was quite a terrifying thought, but she really wanted to help the poor wolf.
IC: KraeynKraeyn nodded his head, "Thank you. Let's go find Dregier."
IC: Kahuwa"To Ko-Wahi we go! It's up North so it's that way." said Kahuwa, beginning to march in the direction he pointed at. Frankly, he originally planned to go to Le-Koro for fun but it seemed his life had taken a turn.This girl and her animals...no wonder she lives in the jungle. Pretty shallow to come along just to help a wolf and not the person suffering from memory loss. Oh well, at least she's company.
IC: Savina Savina followed the others, Grecko not leaving her side. She'd never been anywhere else on the island, she'd heard about the other regions though, and recalled being told once that Ko-Wahi was a cold, dangerous, and snowy place. "Snow...I think I've seen snow before...but I can't remember...isn't it cold, white powdery stuff?"OOC: It's not that she doesn't care about Kraeyn, she's just real sensitive about anything dealing with rahi. ![]()
IC: Kethrye:The elevator was lowered down to the jungle floor with a creak.Kethrye stepped out of the contraption and began walking. " So, Destian, how lng have you been on Mata Nui?" he said.,
IC(Kav'den)
Kav'den woke up from his deep slumber. For a moment, he forgot where he was, but then he remembered the fight. The one he was so sure he would win, but-instead-he was left unconscious and with many injuries. Thankfully, he was healed now and ready to go.He stands up and walks out of the hospital after using the rest of his widgets on the bill. Now, he would return to his home to start his business like his wife would've wanted him to do instead of mourning over her loss for the rest of his life. Kav'den walks onto the streets; trying to find some source of income so he could get to Ko-Wahi...OOC: Kav'den open for interaction.-Mef Man
OOC: Don't worry Snelly, I know that. It's just the way Kahuwa perceives things from his point of view.
IC: Kahuwa"Yeah, pretty much. Cold, white powdery stuff. Made of water, melts and falls from the sky. Snow's a pretty sight but it also means staying somewhere cold." The simple thought of going back to Ko-Wahi made The Ta-Toa shiver. Ta-citizens didn't mix well with cold environments.
OOC: Kraeyn really hasn't noticed.IC: Kraeyn"Sounds fun, say think I'll be able to check out some of the mountains?" Kraeyn asked
IC: Kahuwa"Maybe if you hop on my back. Just kidding." joked Kahuwa. His clawed feet, hands and blades made climbing all to easy for him and he had experience. The Ta-Toa was told by his family that he began climbing before walking.
IC: KraeynKraeyn flipped his swords, "Something tells me these are made for climbing."
IC: Kahuwa"Yeah, those are probably better than my blades for climbing. You have hooks on the hilt, mine are pretty much square hooks. Similar." remarked Kahuwa. The Ta-Toa was really fond of his blades; they were unique, different and they served him very well.
IC: SavinaSavina wondered what she could use to climb, she could always ride on Grecko she figured, he was a decent climber. Or should use her powers to make firm vines she could grab onto as well.
IC: Kahuwa"So Savina, tell me: how do you stand living in a jungle teeming with dangerous wildlife? Where's all this love for rahi come from?" asked Kahuwa, wondering what the answer was to these questions. The thought of her being abandoned in the jungle as a child wandered about Kahuwa's mind but was soon batted away. If she was dropped off here as a kid, I'm pretty sure she'd be behaving like rahi.
IC: Kraeyn"I don't know, it doesn't seem that bad." Kraeyn said to Kahuwa. "I mean it's peaceful, and there's no one here to bother you." Kraeyn explained. "Plus someone needs to look out for these guys, or else they'd all be under, like you said, Makuta's control, or be killed by these Matorans hunters."
IC: Savina"Well, I dunno...I've always loved rahi as far as I know...though, maybe not...not always the way I do now..." She said slowly, she was silent for a while, as if thinking. "I...I used to live in Le-koro...actually...I helped take care of the gukko mostly...but then...something...something...happened...with my mask..." She pointed to her Faxon.
IC: Kraeyn"What happened?" Kraeyn asked now very interested.
IC: Savina"Well...one day I tried to tap deeper into into the spirits of the rahi...through my mask...I...became....overwhelmed....I tapped into a spirit of one rahi who was...too...too powerful...it...changed me...I became afraid of...everyone...except the rahi...so I left..." Savina sighed, it was obvious she disliked talking about it, "I've been the same way ever since...I've devoted myself to protecting the rahi...free them of Makuta's infection, saving them from hunters...it pains me to see them like that..."
IC (Lema): "It seems I have something to -good-thank you for then" remaked Lema. "If you've been getting rid of infected-bad masks you've saved me a lot of work. I try to destroy any of those I find, though for the Matorans' sake rather than the rahis'". While he had listened to the discussion, he became convinced that at least two of his companions weren't right in the head, probably three. As for a trip outside the forest... He shouldn't leave the jungle unguarded. On the other hand, a change of scenery might be nice.
IC: Trakuda and Solia exchanged glances. Solia looked rather sick. Trakuda turned back to Alfon and sighed with a smile, "You're hopeless."
IC: Alfon"Wouldn't want it any other way, Trakuda. Now I think I'll leave you two lovebirds be. Haaaaaaave fuuuuuun.!" said Alfon, beginning to walk away. A smile was stretched out over his face and from afar, he could see his brother Onyx shaking his head in a weary manner.
IC: "He's a funny one." Trakuda muttered to Solia as Alfon departed. They shared another kiss, then decided to get back to work. There was a lot more huts to go before the village was finished.
IC: Destian, Le-Koro"Eh, not sure." The skakdi said with a shrug. "Longer than most, however."
