IC: NikarraNikarra groaned and hit her head against the table. "Why couldn't I have just gone somewhere else..."
IC: Arkrak"I blame the plot."
IC: Ihrey"Sounds fun," Ihrey shrugged, her voice practically overflowing with sarcasm. "I'm not sure I should even ask what he's going on about plot for."
IC: Nikarra"He has this strange idea that there's this over-arching story driving the universe, which he calls 'the Plot'." Nikarra explained. "And I don't know where the heck that came from."
IC: Ihrey"That's ridiculous," she snorted. It reminded her of the time when an incredibly inebriated Kurot had insisted that the course of their lives were the products of bored teenagers interacting over a magic box. Insane.
IC:"It's a perfectly legitimate theory!" said Arkrak. "I mean, it makes -""Absolutely no sense," finished a voice from nearby. "Seriously Arky, you're still going on about a universal story? Bro, it's more of a universal ball of yarn."Atonal smiled at the expression of shock on his brother's face as he leaned against the wall. "Surprised to see me?"
OOC: Okay, that made me laugh. XDIC: Nikarra & Incommodo"I know. If there was something like that, I doubt that they'd have people like me." Nikarra chuckled. "I mean, seriously, if someone wrote the story of the universe they wouldn't have murderers, assassins, mercenaries, etceteras running about. It would get dull after a while, y'know?""Is this meet-a-sibling day? 'Cause I didn't see any signs on the door..."
IC: [Arkrak/Atonal]"I thought you were wandering around underground getting lost!""I was hungry Arky. Do you expect me to always get lost underground?""Uh, yes?""And this is why I'm the more mature one."
IC: Incommodo"Can I call you Arky?" Incommodo asked.
IC: [Arkrak/Atonal]"No," replied the Toa of Sonics. "Nobody's supposed to call me th-""Except me, gran and half of Ko-Koro."
IC: IhreyWatching Incommodo and Nikarra and Arkrak and Atonal made Ihrey glad she didn't have any siblings. And irritated she had Kurot and Suchia, as well as the rest of the old gang who liked to pretend they were. "Oh and, Arky? That's a cute name," Ihrey mocked, effecting a sweet tone. It sounded about as sweet as pile of gravel.
IC: Nikarra, IncommodoIncommodo giggled as he watched Arkrak and Atonal.Nikarra turned to look back at Ihrey. "If you have no siblings, be exceptionally glad. Incommodo didn't realise I was his sister until after he'd tried to hit on me for ten minutes."
IC: Ihrey"I'd like to say I don't, but I've got a bunch of nutjobs that like to pretend they are. And I like them, so I can't even stick a knife in their throats."
IC: Reordin (Hospital, Onu-Koro)"Well, I just came to check on the Turaga," Reordin said. "Now that I have, I have to head back to Le-Wahi and plan for the Nui-Rama assault."-Teezy
IC: Nikarra"Ouch." Nikarra said, before gesturing at Arkrak. "I haven't stuck a knife in anyone's throat in a while, actually. Last time I killed someone it was just a blast of lightning."
IC: [Arkrak/Atonal]"Just tell me why you're here," sighed Arkrak."I was hungry."
IC: Incommodo"Hunger can be a great burden." Incommodo agreed.
IC: Ihrey"The last two I killed were a couple in Ta-Koro. I was hired to kill them, of course. I probably would have done so anyway, as they were ill-mannered."
IC: [Atonal/Arkrak]"Yes it is. So you're Arkrak's boyfriend?"Silence filled the room."Atonal," said Arkrak coldly, dao appearing in his hand. "What did you just say?"
OOC: I think you meant 'Ihrey'. XDIC: Nikarra, Incommodo"I know the type.""Awk-ward..." Incommodo muttered.
OOC: ... I think you mean, shut up.
IC: Ihrey"How cute, Arky has a boyfriend," Ihrey smirked, taking a swig from her glass.
IC: NikarraNikarra nodded, as though she wasn't surprised. "I always thought he was a bit different."
IC: Ihrey"Well, I'm sure they make a sweet couple," Ihrey said, a shadow of a smile flicking across her face at Arky's embarrassment.
IC: [Arkrak/Atonal]Arkrak twitched, his dao raised to point at his older brother. "Atonal. You are going to die."His brother grinned. "Come on, I was jok-"Atonal promptly found himself getting blasted into a wall.
IC: Nikarra"I'm betting on the brother."
IC: Ihrey"Which one?"
IC: Nikarra"I was being deliberately ambiguous, but I think Atonal is more likely to win."
IC: Ihrey"Then I'm betting on Arky. Loser buys the other a drink?"
IC: Nikarra"Deal." Nikarra grinned. This would be fun.
IC: [Arkrak/Atonal]Several seconds later, Atonal was thrown into a wall once more."You are going to die," said Arkrak, eyes burning with anger as he continued to fire off blasts of sound at his brother.The other Toa barely managed to dodge the attacks, and was only able to block a dao swipe by bringing out his sanjiegun, managing to stop the weapon from hitting him. "Come on bro, I was jok-"He was promptly kicked in the chest by Arkrak, who continued to fire off more blasts of sound at the Ice Toa."I think I'll just run then," Atonal muttered, quickly throwing up an ice wall and running towards the door.Only to be blocked by Arkrak.
IC: IncommodoIncommodo popped up beside Ihrey, now holding popcorn, which he was munching happily. "Want some?"
IC: IhreyIhrey watched eagerly. She was liking where this was going. Whoever lost, she got a good show out of it. She just hoped Arky would win. She was out of widgets. "Where did you get that?"
IC: Incommodo, Nikarra"Someone outside was holding it." Incommodo disappeared again, before reappearing with a large bottle of Coke and a chair. Sitting down, he stuck a straw into it, and began drinking it."Where would the world be if not for irritating older brothers?" Nikarra muttered.
IC: [Arkrak/Atonal]"Okay, I give up," said Atonal as he ducked another swing from his brother. "Stop trying to kill me bro. I'm sorry for insinuating that you're in a relationship with the blue guy. Please stop swinging the dao. Every time you do a puppy dies somewhere. Please stop trying to kill me?"Arkrak paused for a moment."No."Then he fired off another blast of sonics at his brother.
IC: Incommodo"Poor puppies." A tear welled up in Incommodo's eye.
IC: [Arkrak/Atonal]"If you keep on trying to kill me I'll tell everybody your darkest secret!""You wouldn't dare.""Look at my face. Does it look like I'm kidding?""Yes.""Bugger. It was worth a shot."
IC: Nikarra, Incommodo"God. It's just like having three Incommodo's.""I'm taking that as a compliment.""You really shouldn't."
IC: IhreyIhrey watched Arky's rather relentless assault. She turned to Nikarra. "Just so you know, I'll 'ave 'alf. I've already had two pints and don't want to overdo it."OOC: Obscure Love Thy Neighbour reference achieved.
OOC: I didn't even get it, but that's probably because I never watched it.IC: Nikarra"Please, god, let him get up and beat the - unpleasant - out of him. At least so that I can laugh."
IC: [Arkrak/Atonal]"Is there any way I can get you to forgive me?""No.""Seriously, is there ANY WAY I can get you to forgive me?"Arkrak paused for a moment, contemplating. "Well, yes.""And that is?"Atonal promptly found himself kicked into the wall, which collapsed, sending the Toa of Ice sprawling out of the bar."Now bow down to my superior might," cackled Arkrak madly.
