IC: [Arkrak]"Help ... need ... air ..."
IC: Ihrey"It's funny, but a little disconcerting...Is she ever going to let go?"
IC: NikarraNikarra walked over, and tapped Aru on the shoulder. "You're kind of killing him."IC: Aru"Oh. Sorry." Aru let go of the suffocating Arkrak.
IC: Knidia put her mug down on the bar and turned to Nikarra, Ihrey and the rest."Look, some of us are just trying to have a quiet drink. You're making it really hard to ignore all the illegal stuff you've been mentioning."
IC: Nikarra"At least we've been mentioning it quietly." Nikarra shrugged. "And the illegal stuff goes no further than murder. And, none of them were nice people, anyway. The last person I killed was trying to blow up a warehouse, which I was in. I call that 'self defence'."
IC: [Arkrak]"Thank you. In the future, please hug with less strength."
IC: Aru"Okay." Aru smiled.
IC: [Arkrak]"So, what's your name?"
IC: Aru"I'm Aru."
OOC: Next couple of posts are gonna be colourless. My phone doesn't bring up the option for stuff like that. :PIC: Ihrey"I've killed a couple of nice people," Ihrey shrugged. "Money is money and they were wanted dead anyway. Someone has to do it."
IC: Havon - Onu-Koro -"Say Dekuna, how long do you think it's gonna take for you to win this fight?" Havon asked as he watched.
OOC:Alright, this is taking too long. I have places to go, and things to do with Fov...IC:FovAnd Fov's attack missed, his sword swinging over Dekuna's head as Dekuna's sword sunk into Fov's injured leg. The Vortixx cried out in pain, and fell to the ground. "Well, that was a battle well fought." Fov said, handing his rifle over to Dekuna. "I am glad to know my invention will be put to good use." He then focused on patching up his leg.Miha"Well great, that wasn't a complete waste of our time." Miha said, rolling her eyes. "Let's get a move on."
OOC:
[briefly] timeskipping. Assume the group to have split up and gone to say goodbyes/restock on food/whatever. The half-hour is ticking away...IC: "...Zo rememberr tu tak carr uz Unkul Kol'z hut," Sulov told the gathered Onu-Matoran around him. He smiled. "Don't vurry; he'l be back zun.""Yes, Unkul Zulof!," Chorused back the young matoran.They grinned. The group knew their favorite uncle-the one with the funny accent they couldn't help but love, the takea tooth that had wowed them all upon first sight, and embarassing stories of Uncle Sulov-would be back soon even though he went away, because Sulov said so.And Sulov was always right.The commander grinned back and then turned to the women. There were genuine tears of pity in their eyes as they looked at the Ussalry member. Sulov wasn't JUST a breadwinner...He was their kin.To see him separated from his best friend and without a hand caused the elders to weep in sympathy. He had told them the truth-a very different version of the tale he had told the nephews, whom he didn't want to know that Kol might never come back-and it had only reinforced their faith in the last adult male Koskium. Sulov managed a grim grin. Then he turned and waved one final time to the children, and with that the commander went hobbling off.IC: Gavarm casually stepped forward. "De-pu-ty Gavarm at your service," He said from beneath lowered lids and a slight clouding of cigar smoke.
I.C. Kranuka having finished his daily sales, was getting restless. "What so you say we move on to some other Koro? I can't bear to stay in one place for too long."
IC Fehron"Fine. Let's go, and- Hey, where's Botan?"IC DymiunOkay, let's try something else. Dymiun activated his mask, hoping to teleport and speed up his journey. That instant, he heard something behind him. He whirled around- just as he teleported, accidentally changing his destination. He found himself at the front of an Onu-Koro market place. He checked his compass. They were here. Dymiun started running through the streets.IC BotanBotan wandered off. He noticed the many stalls selling all sorts of items. He bent down to inspect a lightstone offered at one stand. He never noticed Dymiun running right past him, neither of them aware of the other.OOC: Let's find Botan, start to leave, and run into Dymiun on our way out as we head to some other Koro.
OOC: 'KI.C. Kranuka"Is it like him to wander off?"
IC Fehron"Well, let's just say that you're not the only one who gets bored staying in one place. Come on, let's go find him."IC BotanBotan decided he should probably be getting back now. He started walking back towards the others.
OOC: Sorry for the wait everyone. I haven't been able to get on since before Easter. Never fear, however, because now The Lorax is back and speaking for the trees!I think these are the last posts relating to my characters, but if I've missed anything, please let me know.
OOC: So... Gah! Gravity can't read all of this. ;_;IC: CikrenThe Toa of Ice groaned, and tried to sit up. Tried.Her shoulder was definatly healed, but she didn't exactly feel 'Ok'. Cikren hoped she didn't pass out, atleast not infront of anyone. She finally managed to stand up, mumbled a "Thank you" to the doctor, and half walked half stumbled out of the hospital. With a little help from Weta, who she had grabbed onto to stop herself from falling.
IC (Dekuna): Dekuna thanked the Vortixx for the weapon and a good spar, then went to retrieve the knives he had thrown during the fight. His elemental powers were a little depleted as well, so he absorbed a few seconds of noise from the rowdy Onu-koro marketplace to get himself back to full readiness. The rifle fit nicely in front of his shoulder, so he guessed that it had been designed for a toa, rather than the larger Vortixx. It was a superb weapon, he thought, though it might require a small change in his fighting style. He normally prefered a blade over launchers, but he supposed he could make this work, especially in combination with his mask. Yes, this was truly a stroke of luck for the Hau Karda. Maybe the Great Spirit wasn't as absent as many believed.IC (Weta): Weta supported Cikren as they moved out of the hospital and kept her from falling to the ground. From what he had seen of the doctor's work, he had done a fair job on her shoulder, but had been none too gentle about it. What else the Skakdi might have done, he didn't know, but he wasn't eagre to go back for a second visit. "Let's go find an inn where you can rest up a bit" he suggested. "That doctor did a rough-shabby job on you, so no more excitement today, I think."OOC:Alright, this is taking too long. I have places to go, and things to do with Fov...IC:FovAnd Fov's attack missed, his sword swinging over Dekuna's head as Dekuna's sword sunk into Fov's injured leg. The Vortixx cried out in pain, and fell to the ground. "Well, that was a battle well fought." Fov said, handing his rifle over to Dekuna. "I am glad to know my invention will be put to good use." He then focused on patching up his leg.Miha"Well great, that wasn't a complete waste of our time." Miha said, rolling her eyes. "Let's get a move on."
IC: CikrenThe Toa of Ice nodded. "Yes, I'd like to rest for a bit. And have a few excitement free hours," she agreed, "I think there's a Inn just up ahead."Cikren was glad Weta was there, even with her Calix; she was having a hard time walking. She probably wouldn't be going back to that doctor anytime soon. Soon meaning never.
IC:MihaMiha glanced over at the marketplace.NPC Matoran"Hey watch out!" A Matoran shouted, barreling down the street. It seemed nobody heard him, (Dekuna's sound absorbing absorbed his shout) and he crashed into a busy inventor, who had just created a bomb. Which he dropped when the Matoran who was barreling down the street bumped into him. An small explosion proceeded, knocking some fruit onto the ground, making quite a few people trip, resulting in even more things getting knocked over.Miha"Wonder what's going on over there?" Miha said, watching the chain reaction with mild interest. "Anyways, we should get going."OOC:You shouldn't just absorbing random sound.
You never know what will happen.
OOC: I had considered that it might affect other characters somehow, but I thought that the risk was small enough to ignore. I guess I as wrong. <_<IC (Dekuna): The scattered fruit was tripped over by a passing miner, who stumbled into a stand where a Matoran was selling bags of lightstones fresh from the mine (before it was bombed). As he fell, the miner's pickaxe shattered the block of earth behind the cart's wheels. Slowly but surely, the stand began to roll backwards down as slope. It gained momentum, and outran its owner as it plunged towards the river.Hearing the commotion as soon as sound was restored, Dekuna spotted the racing cart and put a wall of sound in its way. The runaway barrelled through it, but it was slowed down enough for Dekuna to intercept it and bring it to a halt on the river's banks, averting catastrophe.IC (Weta): Weta guided Cikren into the inn she had mentioned and asked the landlord Matoran for a place to stay. Having procured a suitable room, he descended into a hollowed-out space beneath the surface and layed Cikren down on the bed. 'Here we are" he said softly. "The most un-exciting place in Onu-koro. I asked the Matoran to have nothing disturb us until tomorrow."
OOC:
You could've absorbed Miha's rambling. She probably wouldn't even notice.IC:Miha"Wow. Wonder what caused all that." Miha said, watching Dekuna stop the cart.
I.C. Kranuka looked around. He saw a green toa in the distance. "Hey I found him!" He ran over to the toa. "Botan, there you are!" as it turned out, it wasn't Botan at all. "Botan? Who's he?" embarrassed, Kranuka stammered "Um, sorry sir I thought you were someone else.
" Kranuka looked around some more.
IC (Dekuna): "No idea" the toa of sonics replied. "I hope it wasn't something more about Whenua disappearing. The village is really going to have a hard time without him." As he spoke, the owner of the lightstone stand finally caught up, panting from sprinting after his wares."This is your cart?" Dekuna asked him."Yes..." the Onu-matroan replied. "Thankyou... saved... lightstones.""No problem" Dekuna said. "You need this pushed back up the hill?""That would be wonderful" the vendor said after catching his breath. "You've saved my business anyway, but yes, thankyou. Say, do you need any lightstones? I'd like to thank you somehow, and it seems fitting to give you some of what you saved.""I could use some lightstones" Dekuna replied as he got behind the cart and started pushing. "And I'll probably be needing them more in future. It's a good thing we met each other, today, eh?"The Matoran nodded ernestly and gratefully handed over several lightstones when the cart was restored to its original position within the marketplace.
IC: [Arkrak]"Nice to meet you Aru. I'm Arkrak."
IC: JalkaiJalkai walked out of an alley, wiping one of his pata off with what looked to have once been part of an apron. They probably have finished their conversation by now. Maybe I should go and pay them another visit. Jalkai discarded the piece of cloth as he started searching for Brekan and Fov.
IC: BrekanAs she was walking, she saw green. The green of evil... thee green of unpleasant freakishness. The Green of Jalkai's torn up robe. She started moving faster, holding in her instinct to shout for her friend Fov. He wasn't in Onu-Koro anymore... she was stuck escaping Jalkai alone. This was not going to be fun.
IC: JalkaiJalkai saw out of the corner of one of his eyes a familiar looking Toa of Air. Is that Brekan? I think that's what the strangly happy Vortixx called her. Jalkai picked up his pace to catch up to the Toa and find out if his hunch was right.
OOC: Finally... *sigh of relief* IC: (Uar)As the Toa of Ice turned around, he saw Dekuna intercept a Matoran's cart which was full of lightstones and rolling towards the river. "So, I suppose we should get going. If Whenua's captor was a Toa of Shadow, I'd say it's pointless to look for him now, with the head start he has. I suggest investigating this NEX business."OOC:Alright, this is taking too long. I have places to go, and things to do with Fov...IC:FovAnd Fov's attack missed, his sword swinging over Dekuna's head as Dekuna's sword sunk into Fov's injured leg. The Vortixx cried out in pain, and fell to the ground. "Well, that was a battle well fought." Fov said, handing his rifle over to Dekuna. "I am glad to know my invention will be put to good use." He then focused on patching up his leg.Miha"Well great, that wasn't a complete waste of our time." Miha said, rolling her eyes. "Let's get a move on."
IC (Dekuna): "My thoughts exactly, Uar" Dekuna agreed, while stowing the spare lightstones away in his backpack for future use. "Onu-koro has its own defense forces to find and rescue their Turaga. We came here with a different purpose, so we will attend to that."
IC: Havon - Onu-koro -"Right, let's find out more about this NEX." Havon said in a agreement.
IC:FovFov finished patching up his wounds and started towards Le-Koro, not knowing that he was heading in the same direction Brekan and Jaikal were.Miha"Alright, so we need to find a Turaga... Who wears a cloak, and has silver armor." Miha said, remembering what Fiva had told them.
I.C. Tradoris and VulcanonAfter an explanation as to why he was doing it, Vulcanon and Tradoris combined their Skakdi abilities. Vulcanon's fire melted down the metal pieces to make a spider like skeleton, and Tradoris used his magnetism to shape it. They were beginning the production of a small Nektaan robot.OOC: about the power of a "pet"
IC: Aru"So, how's life?" Aru asked, mimicking Arkrak's question from before.
IC Fehron"Oh, there he is. Hey, Botan! It's time to go!"IC BotanBotan saw Fehron waving at him. "Coming!"IC DymiunDymiun turned his head, thinking he had heard someone yell Botan's name. He accidentally teleported. He landed in the middle of the street. An Ussal cart almost ran him over before he got away.OOC: Dymiun's right in the path we will take when we leave.I.C. Kranuka looked around. He saw a green toa in the distance. "Hey I found him!" He ran over to the toa. "Botan, there you are!" as it turned out, it wasn't Botan at all. "Botan? Who's he?" embarrassed, Kranuka stammered "Um, sorry sir I thought you were someone else.
" Kranuka looked around some more.
IC: (Uar)"Should be hard to miss." Uar said to Miha. "Let's spread out and look for him." he continued.
IC:Cikren"Thanks," the Toa of Ice said, trying to get comfortable on the bed.A few hours of uninterrupted rest was exactly what she needed.
IC:NPC SkakdiThe Skakdi walked up the Incommodo. "Um... Excuse me. I did tell you that nobody was allowed in here. Could you please leave? We're having problems, and with Chronn having disappeared..."
IC: Incommodo"You didn't tell me anything. And Chronn's disappeared? I used to work for him. Can I help?" Incommodo was speaking unusually quickly.
OOC:Yeah, he did. He said that the two should go away.IC:NPC Skakdi"Ahh, you must be Numbskull, or are you Knucklehead?" The Skakdi asked, thinking back to what Chronn called his former employees. "Anyways, if you're a detective, you can help. We have a problem."
