IC:NPC Skakdi"Well, everything checks out Mr. Arkrak." The Skakdi said, shoving the paper back in Arkrak's hands. "Just keep your sidekick away from my customers, 'Kay?"OOC:No customers, the only ones left in the building are the ones that were present at the scene of the crime. Thanks to Chronn.
IC: [Arkrak]"Thank you."
IC: Incommodo"I'm not a sidekick..." Incommodo muttered huffily.
OOC: Okey dokey, just checkin'.IC: Ihrey"You seem pretty sidekick-y to me."
IC:NPC Skakdi"Anyways, what would you like to investigate first Mr. Arkrak?" The Skakdi asked gruffly. He didn't want to be polite, but you were never rude to a detective. Or, at least, you were never rude to a detective when they held something over you. For Chronn it was blackmail. For Arkrak, it was the threat of letting Incommodo loose in his inn.
IC: [Arkrak]"The body."
IC: Aru"Oh! Oh! Can I investigate with you?" Aru asked, jumping up and down excitedly.IC: Incommodo"Well, I'm not. I do all the thinking. I get us into trouble, and then I get us out of it."
IC: Ihrey"A look at the body might be fun. Haven't seen one of those in about a day."
IC: Nikarra"I don't think he meant us." Nikarra pointed out. "Besides, I'll probably have to stay here and make sure brother dear doesn't get himself killed."
IC:NPC Skakdi"It's in that room." The Skakdi said, pointing at the room. Inside the detectives would find a dead Avian on the bead, a tiny hole in his armor.
OOC: Where is the hole?IC: [Arkrak]"Come Inc, I might need your bumbling expertise."
IC: Incommodo"Yay!" Incommodo cried out, running into the room.IC: Aru"But what about me?"IC: Nikarra"Nevermind them, Aru." Nikarra sighed. Typical. Someone mentions a dead body and all the boys run out to see it.
OOC:Chest area. Where a dart would've pierced his armor in order to hit his heart.IC:NPC Skakdi"Keep an eye on your sidekick, would 'ya?" the Skakdi asked, glaring at Incommodo.
IC: Ihrey"How disappointing," Ihrey grumbled. "Maybe if I scribbled down that I was a detective somewhere...Anyone got a tablet?"
IC: Incommodo"Not a sidekick..." Incommodo muttered.IC: Nikarra"Oh, Karz." Nikarra noticed the signs her brother was getting angry. "If that Skakdi calls him a sidekick one more time, we have to leave. Quickly."
IC: [Arkrak]"Just refer to him as my partner," he whispered in the Skakdi's ear. "He'll end up getting mad and going wild."He turned to face Inc."Come on, let's see if there's any signs of a weapon being used.
IC:NPC Skakdi"Sidekick, Partner, same difference. If he can't handle the truth, why'd he get into the detective business?" The Skakdi asked. "Oh, and the only weapon you'll find is the dart. Chronn left it on the guy's mask."
IC: Incommodo"Well, there is a hole in his chest." Incommodo pointed out. "But something's missing..."Incommodo looked around. There was something that should have been there, but wasn't.He turned to look at the Skakdi as he called him a 'sidekick'. "I. Am not. A bloody. SIDEKICK!"Incommodo was propelled upwards, and floated in midair, his eyes glowing a ferocious red, before sending the Skakdi crashing into a wall with a powerful magnetic push.
IC: [Arkrak]"Did Chronn pull out the dart? Was it in the chest when first found?"
I.C. Kranuka"Our little team is growing. If we get any more, we'll need a cause. Anything anyone here is particularly passionate about?"OOC: No, we met there and went to Po-Koro.IC Dymiun."Yes. I am Dymiun, Toa of Magnetism, and part of a Toa Team with these guys."OOC: Oh, I thought that was Po-Koro. :PI.C. Kranuka"A friend of yours?"
IC: IhreyIhrey watched the Skakdi getting driven into a wall, all the while taking note that Incommodo can be very easily angered by being referred to as a sidekick. Not right now, of course. That would be a one way ticket to getting turned into paste.
IC:NPC Skakdi & His WifeThe Skakdi's hand shot out, and an Rock/Plantlife cage appeared above Incommodo, trapping him inside. The Skakdi grinned. "Never let it be said that being married doesn't have it's perks." he said, picking himself up and walking towards Arkrak. "Honey, please watch the madman." He called, handing Arkrak the dart. "The Ussurly force pulled it out. But yes, it was found in the body."
IC: Nikarra"We should leave. Right now. Before he gets his hands on something flammable."
IC: [Arkrak]"Right. Hey Inc's sister, I want your expertise on killing people. What do you think of this?"
IC: Nikarra"No offence, Arkrak, but I wouldn't want to go near him right now. Last time he was like this, he very nearly killed me."IC: IncommodoIncommodo looked around, through the bars of his cage. A lit candle in a metal holder was nearby, and Incommodo pulled it into the cage, before using it to set the plantlife parts alight and free himself. He then looked at Nikarra."You." He growled. His voice seemed lower than usual, and combined with his now-red eyes, actually made Incommodo seem threatening.
IC: [Arkrak]"Um, is there a reason why you didn't tell me Inc has a super-powered evil side?"
IC:StyxxetteOr, the candle would've, if the magnetic Mystix hadn't intervened, having stepped out from her room because of the noise. "Tsk Tsk Mr. Myself. I would expect better manners from one such as yourself."OOC:I swear I made her a magnetic Mystix before I knew that Incommodo and co. would be taking over the case.
OOC: Of COURSE you did.FYI, Incommodo has a Kualsi. XDIC: IncommodoIncommodo glared at Styxxette, before teleporting out of the cage. "Leave me alone."He turned to glare at his sister. "You."IC: Nikarra"What about me?"IC: Incommodo"You're dead. I killed you."IC: Nikarra"Well, you can't have done that good a job of it if I'm still here."
IC: [Arkrak]Arkrak promptly moved in front of Inc, blocking him from reaching Nikarra."You never told me you had a super-powered evil side."
IC: Incommodo"This isn't a 'super-powered evil side'. This is me. The real me. Now get out of my way!" Incommodo pushed Arkrak away from him with magnetism. "I never did like you, anyway."
OOC:No, I'm serious. I actually did.IC:Various Inn Residents"Hey, what's going on out there?" "Fight? Barab likes fights!" There were various reactions to the fight. But the most important to Incommodo were the two that came from right behind him."I believe you should leave the girl alone mate." The voice came from an Akrainids which appeared right behind him, having snuck up upon all the present beings. "What he said." This voice came from a Lesterian, which also seemingly appeared out of nowhere, right behind Incommodo.
IC: IncommodoIncommodo turned to the two people behund him. Within moments, the two were magnetised at the same polarity, trapped at opposite sides of the room, at leadt for the time being. "Oh well. At least I can finish what I started."IC: NikarraAs Incommodo turned around, he was hit by a bolt of lightning, and thrown backwards, hitting a table. "I don't think so."
IC: [Arkrak]"Why thank you for your honesty," said Arkrak dryly as he was slammed against a wall. "Too bad I'm not going to let you just try and attack your sister."The Toa swiftly moved forwards throwing a punch at his friend.
IC: IncommodoThe punch stopped about a centimetre from its target. "You call that a punch?"IC: PirokWhile Incommodo was distracted, Pirok threw a ball of flame at him. It narrowly missed, but for some reason, Arkrak's punch got through.
IC:Inn-Habitants (Get it?)Or, they would've if Styxxette hadn't reversed his doing. The duo's were still ready to fight Incommodo. "Leave the gal alone chap, before we 'ave to hurt you."NPC Skakdi"Not the table! It's the best one I have..."
IC: [Arkrak]Arkrak smirked. "No. I CALL THIS A PUNCH."And an earth shattering kaboom resounded through the inn, the deafening thunderclap slamming into the ears of everybody in the area.
IC: Incommodo"Shut up, you whining arse." Incommodo groaned at the Skakdi, before turning back to Arkrak, and taking out his blades. "Well, then, let's do this the good ol' fashioned way."
IC: [Arkrak]"If you insist," replied Arkrak, pulling out his dao.
IC:Inn-Habitants"That's it." Nokth (the Akrainid) said, nodding to the Lesterin, who quickly pulled out a gun, and fired. The result was a blinding flash, and many organic sharp pieces of Lightstone flying at Incommodo. During that flash, both Nokth and his partner vanished.
IC: IncommodoIncommodo quickly teleported away, closer to Nikarra, and began attempting to crush her throat with magnetism...IC: PirokOnly to find out that it didn't work. Pirok had figured out Arkrak's punch got through when his fireball went past because of the temperature rising.Meaning that by raising the temperature, he had successfully negated Incommodo's magnetism.IC: NikarraNikarra hit Incommodo with another bolt of lightning, this time throwing him into a wall.
