OOC: Indeed Sisk walked off on his own JL. But hey, things get overlooked all the time. IC:Sisk was looking around himself from Hasil's shoulders, still chewing on a bite from his snack. He did have the presence of mind to hold onto his bag of food and beverages while being lifted up. It would have been a shame to leave all that behind. This was a point of view he had not experienced yet. He turned to Cyrax, now a head smaller than him. "No head-whacking. I kick and bite." he said, jokingly, before looking back in the other direction, whisteling something at Skyscratcher.The Gukko shook its mighty wings, stretching his newly-armored head up to the sky, before taking off. "He'll fly-follow anywhere. Even back to cozy-warm-full-of-ashes Ta-Koro." "Hi-ho Hasil, awaaay!"
IC-Hasil:Hasil shook his head at what the matoran said. Really, did their sense of humor have ro be so odd? He carried them to Ta-Koro nonetheless.OOC: Hasil, Lashev, and apparently Sisk too to Ta-Koro.
IC, Xibre: Xibre followed the group on the path to Ta-Koro. "C'mon!" he called to Nikaron. Then he made his way along the path, following the group as he did so.OOC: Xibre to Ta-Wahi.
IC: Hound & Co, Ga-Koro BeachesAs Hatchet and Crowbar rushed foward, so did Hound, except at Kakama-level speeds, and with enough force to match a Pakari user, aiming to slam into Crowbar.Hajia was running behind Hound when he activated his powers, leaving her in the dust. Pulling out her knives, she controlled the water around her into a wall behind her, ready for use.Tirus was oblivious to it all, and Kirian was drawing his bow.
IC: Knidia shook her head, "They started arguing about power. Reaver kept going on about how they should be gods, Emotia disagreed. Things got heated."
IC: EmotiaThe doctors had finished with patching up Emotia, her wound had been healed by a mask of healing. She just need rest now. Her friends just had to wait for her to wake up.
IC: JikalJikal shook his head. "I'm with Emotia on this one. We're not gods, we are monsters. At least, Reaver and I are. Emotia's Mark feeds on a relatively harmless emotion. Not ours."
IC: ReaverShe poked her head around the doorframe, into the room. 'Is... Is she ok?' She started weeping. 'Mata Nui, why did I attack her like that?'
IC: JikalJikal sighed and for a moment his expression seemed almost natural, as if his normal mien was merely a mask he wore. "She will most likely be fine, Reaver. The wound didn't look fatal from where I was standing and I don't think she lost too much blood." He sighed agin. "The second question is a bit harder."
IC: EmotiaEmotia stirs, moaning slightly. Suddenly her eyes shoot open, she sits up rather quickly and looks at her leg, it is good as new, she feels her leg with her fingers. She looks around at everyone, and then looks at Reaver with a little bit of fear in her eyes. Emotia then decides to lay back down, blood rushing to her head made her dizzy. "I'd like to know the answer to that too..." She said weakly.
Cyrax+JL following to Ta-Wahi.
IC: JikalJikal's head turned to look at Emotia. "I see you are feeling better." As quickly as it had vanished, Jikal's former expression of apathy returned. His tone held no malice, nor kindness. It held nothing at all.
IC: Reaver'Emotia, I'm so very sorry for that. It was the Mark, Its power got to my head.' She kicked a wall in frustration, making a sizable hole in it. 'We're not gods, we're demons!'
IC: NikaronNikaron took one last whiff the salty ocean air, before following behind the others. Still chuckling at Xibre's enthusiasm.Ah Ta-Koro, it seems I'm always drawn there, makes one wonder, just how much of a role Destiny plays in our lives, and if we have any control over our lives in the end at all.
IC: Emotia"I understand...I think, my mark paralyzed me when I tried remove it...it wasn't fun..." She saw the hole in the wall, "Careful...if the hospital staff see that it might get us into trouble."
IC: Jikal"Calm down, Reaver. Demons or not, it does no good to kick at walls." Jikal said. He turned to Emotia. "I haven't introduced myself, at least not at a moment you could comprehend. I am Jikal."
IC: Emotia"Emotia, and dare I ask, what does your mark do?"
IC: Dathros was sent crashing into a pile of rubble a ways away. But the mark bearer's hopes would be dashed if they thought the fight was over. A voice rang out from the rubble. "What's your deal, toa? You trying to be some kind of tough guy? Tryin' to be intimidatin'?" The Baraz might have been about to say more, but his voice turned to a feral snarl. A muscular hand reached out of the rubble, dragging a similar body out with it. No longer laughing, foam had formed around the edges of Dathros' mouth. With a wordless cry, he charged, his swords whistling in at Utu from the left.
IC: JikalJikal frowned. "I bear the curse of cruelty, as much as I despise it."
IC: ReaverShe chuckled lightly and said 'Do you think I care what the hospital staff think?' When Jikal mentioned his hate of his Mark of Cruelty, she replied bitterly 'Says the man who pulled a sword on me.'
IC: JikalJikal's expression hardened until Reaver knew she had made a mistake. "I was walking into a potential combat situation, I put it away the instant I saw there was no danger. Do not talk to me about cruelty. I have seen and been forced to do horribe things by him. You have met him, however briefly, and he revels in it. NOT ME!!" Jikal' eyes briefly flashed green.
IC: ReaverAlarmed, she pulled her Dagger out and held it to Jikal's neck. 'We're in a building surround by dozens of people suffering and in pain. I could punch you three ways to the next full moon if I wanted to. So go ahead. Just try it.'
IC: JikalJikal realized what he had just done, and his expression changed to one of shame. "I......I'm sorry........" The toa leaned heavily against the wall.
IC: Emotia Emotia sat up, "Maybe we should just get out of here, before something does happen."
IC: Reaver'I couldn't agree more! Come on, let's get out of here before I do something stupid again.'
IC: JikalJikal nodded. Get yourself under control....... Don't let him win.....But I've already won, Jikal. You can't stop me when I take charge.Shut up, you piraka.Jikal nodded again. "We should leave. It's best that way. Fewer people around in case things get bad." Fewer people to get hurt if he takes over......"Not to speak disrespectfully either, but I feel uncomfortable being the least powerful being in the room."
OOC: Mark Bearers, I hope you don't mind if I drop in.IC: Dail was in Ga-Koro for a short trip to civilization. Sure, she had a place to live, but that wasn't quite the same as sentient contact. She was merely wandering when she heard the sound of raised voices from one of the larger lily-pad huts. Entering, she found to her surprise that it was a hospital, and she made her way to the room that the voices had been coming from. A group of Toa stood there, one having ripped a hole in the leaf wall."Pardon my asking," She said. "Is everything all right?"![]()
IC: JikalJikal whirled in surprise, having already drawn a long dagger. Taking in the newcomer's appearance, he relaxed slightly. "I think so, yes. Any particular reason for asking?" The toa's tone remained guarded.
IC: Dail eyed the dagger, and a draft moved through the room, ready to protect her at a moment's notice. Being an assassin lent itself to paranoia."I heard raised voices and I was wondering if I could h--help." She almost choked out the last word--Master above, that was alien.![]()
IC: JikalJikal relaxed slightly more. "I'm going to put my blade away, now." Jikal carefully stowed the blade. "Nicely timed wind, by the way. Very clever."
IC: "Reflex." Dail said. "What exactly is going on?"![]()
IC: JikalJikal nodded. "Good reflexes are essential on this island." He attempted to dodge the question.
IC: ReaverTurning to the newcomer, she said 'We're quite alright, thank you. We were just leaving. Weren't we?' She nudged Jikal with her elbow, urging him to agree.
IC: Dail sighed. "That's a given." She said. "Being able to tell when someone is dodging a question is also a given." She looked at the other Toa. "It's alright, I don't have any attachment here, I can come with you." ![]()
IC: Emotia"Okay.." Emotia stood up, grunting a little from putting weight on her newly fixed leg. "Yes...we were actually just about to leave. No offense, but...we can avoid your question if we want too."
IC: JikalJikal winced. "Give me a break, my people skills are several months rusty."
IC: ReaverShe hung her head slightly. 'I'm just wondering if it's a good idea to find more Mark Bearers, considering what's happened already.'
IC: Emotia Emotia looked at Reaver like she was nuts. What is she thinking saying that out loud in front of this new person! Emotia quickly tried to distract Dail. "So, what's your name? Mine's Emotia."
IC: Jikal"Oh, hey, I'm Jikal!" Jikal frantically pulled his cloak on, in an effort to hid his Mark.
IC: ReaverRealising her mistake, she leant up against a wall, in an attempt to hide her Mark. 'I'm Reaver, by the way.'
