IC: Drakner
"Sure. How about Kini Nui?"
IC: Kordan
"I did not mean leave the Wahi." Kordan shook his head. He looked to Hile who seemed to share his frustration
IC: Drakner
"Well, then how about the beach, it's empty right now, and there's an easy getaway."
IC: Kordan
"Fine. Let us go!"
IC: Drakner
"I've got a friend there that'll help us."
IC: Kordan
"Im not so sure... if we should be discussing plans with your friends?"
IC: Drakner
"Too late, I guess, I told him everything that I know. After all, I was stalking you in Ko-Wahi for a while."
IC: Kordan
Kordan stopped and grabbed Drakner by the throat and put his face close towards his "You did what?"
IC: Drakner
"Hey, easy bro, I've known this guy for a long time, before any of you set foot on this island for that matter. He's not going to hurt us our our gang, he's only out here for money."
IC: Kordan
"If you try anything... I wont hesitate to kill you... do you understand me?"
IC: Drakner
"Okay, but he'll back me up, even though he's only a Matoran."
IC Hile
(Ga-Koro):
Hile agreed with Kordan's statement, but for his own purposes.
"If this Mata Nui-forsaken secrecy and confusion doesn't end, some heads are gonna roll", he said.
IC: Kordan
Kordan let go of the Skakdi and laughed. He patted Hile on the back. "Im sorry... what do you want to know?"
IC: Drakner
"Can we go now? Gratoraxe doesn't like to wait."
IC: Kordan
"I dont care what your friend wants. Personally, Im not too happy about you joining us but..." He rolled his eyes "Bosses orders"
IC: Drakner
*Pokes his head out the door* "Guess you guys won't have to wait to meet him."
IC: Gratoraxe
*Enters room* "Okay, what're we doin' here?"
IC: Kordan
"Ill let you do the honours. He took Hile a little away from the two of them. "What is it you wanted to ask me, little one?"
IC Hile
(Ga-Koro):
"I want to know:
1. What are we supposed to do here
2. Who is this guy?
3. Who is that other guy?
4. Who is the guy you guys are talking about?
5. What relation do you have to a. this guy b. the other guy c. the guy that guy is talking about
6. Will you kill me for asking all these questions?"
IC: Gratoraxe
*Looks down at Kordan* "Little? Do I look little to you?"
IC: Kordan
Kordan sighed and took a deep breath. "Okay. We are meant to be getting this Skakdi to join our group because he has skills we need, and not because I like him. This guy is Drakner. He will lie, cheat and backstab his way to victory so dont trust him. That is my relationship with him.
OOC: I am unsure who you mean by "the other guy" and "The guy he is talking about?"
IC: Drakner
"Thank you, you've covered everything that comes to MY mind, except for insanity."
IC Faori:
Faori swore, and plunged headfirst into the crystal waters. The Toa was sinking fast; his thrashing was starting to slow, and his heavier build was pulling him down faster than the Ga-Matoran was currently swimming. Faori manoeuvred herself quickly so that she was as streamlined as possible, with her head pointing straight down, and kicked with her powerful legs.
Faori angled her body to move through the field of bubbles produced by the sinking Toa - a trick she'd learned from the sharks that patrolled these waters. She quickly caught up with the Toa, and began pulling him towards the surface.
By the time the two broke into clear air, Faori was nearly drowned. Gasping, lungs aching, she heaved the Toa into the Cowrie, and flopped over the side herself, exhausted.
OOC: The other guy is Gratoraxe and the guy they were talking was someone part of the Sixhand.
IC Hile
(Ga-Koro):
"Thanks", Hile said. "Just one thing more. You said we needed this Skakdi to join for our task. What is our task, again?"
OOC: Yeah, he still doesn't know.
IC: Drakner
"Yeah, what is it?"
IC: Yaddrokk
The Skakdi of Sonics guard sat at the back of the Marines' prisons, eyes ever watchful. A part of him wanted the prisoners to give him a reason to turn his gaze on them. His fingers drummed a rhythm on the armor plating his powerful Skakdi biceps. Every so often, he probed the area with his audio enhancers to see if anything could catch his interest. But for now, he was alone with his thoughts.
IC: Strakolix
Strakolix saw a Skakdi, probably one of Sonics. He decided to give the Skakdi a headache for lack of anything better to do. He yelled at the top of his lungs. "HEY, YOU OVER THERE! WHO ARE YOU? WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?"
IC: Kordan
Kordan sighed heavily and whispered. "To claim Mata Nui is our own"
IC: Drakner
"I'm in."
IC Hile
(Ga-Koro):
"Excuse me?!"
IC: Drakner
"Assuming that you're talking to me, I always want a chance at domination."
IC: Arias
I poked my head out the door, and looked around for the person who had knocked. I noticed a piece of paper on the ground. Huh, Voutok's taking a trip? Well, it gives me some time. I went back inside, closing the door behind me.
"Hey, Zacax! Other Guy! How is the firing mechanism coming?"
IC: Zekev (The Great Takea)
The Great Takea wasn't exactly inviting, but it was fashionably remote, something Zekev could appreciate.
"Ding, ding, first floor. Reception, Info desks and sadistic murderers" Zekev rang in his own head as he walked across the landscape.
IC:
Hahli and Leah had departed the prison a few minutes ago, making their way back through the village with the Akiri's escorts. The Toa of water had a slight smile, but was rather quiet. The Vortixx inmate had been rather annoying, but his words made her think back on the last small council the Maru had held. And Leah was pondering how to best broach the subject, before deciding a direct approach was the easiest way to go about it. Relationships between the Koro were tense, but she blamed it on outside circumstances and not so much on the Akiri. She turned her head and looked at the Matoran walking beside her.
"Hahli, there was something else I wanted to talk to you about."
IC: Vhohan
The Skakdi of Gravity looked up at the newcomer. A Skakdi of Ice. Hm. "Hey, Zekev, is that you? Come on over here!"
IC: Zekev (The Great Takea)
"Whatever you say, oh almighty lord of gently nudging people in your direction"
Zekev came walking over to the other Skakdi, looking around with his perpetual expression of amusement.

"Speak your mind, sister Toa. You of all people have earned that right."
-Tyler
Lenat- Ga-koro
IC: Not bothering to look up at the newcomer, Lenat replied.
"Fairly well, I've placed a small heatstone to the firing mechanism so that it comes forward and hits whatever you are using as a charge when the trigger is pulled. It could also be used by a Toa of Fire when sending fireballs at the other guy. Not so much an amplifier as much as a power saver."
OOC: That would be Arias he is talking to.
IC- Verak - Ga-Koro Prison
I sighed. "Very well then. If you aren't gonna give me a name, I'll just call ye... Sparkles. Fits, don't ye think?" I asked the Vortixx.
C: Strakolix
Strakolix saw a Skakdi, probably one of Sonics. He decided to give the Skakdi a headache for lack of anything better to do. He yelled at the top of his lungs. "HEY, YOU OVER THERE! WHO ARE YOU? WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?"
IC: Yaddrokk
The Skakdi's X-Ray vision revealed that the one shouting was the newly incarcerated Vortixx who'd been flapping his jaw off for what felt like an hour. Excellent.
The Skakdi got to his feet and lumbered to his cell. He folded his thick arms and stared down at the being in front of him. "I'm Yaddrokk. I guard Ga-Koro, and I am not going to be your chum, Sparkles, so don't bother trying to get on my good side. And you really don't want to be on my bad side either."
IC:
Leah nodded, then slightly lowered her voice. "It's about the vault. It's riddle is still a mystery to us; and the Maru's recent council has not been able to change that."
Her bright eyes showed a deep concern and worry as she spoke.
"However, what we have no doubt about is this: Whatever lies beyond the doors might disrupt the balance of power in place now and put a further strain on the relationships between the Koro. We both know this peace is a fragile one. But we've fought hard for it, and me and my brothers will do everything in our power to maintain it, regardless of politics."
"So I must ask you: What are your intentions regarding the vault?"
It was a straight question, no beating around the bush. That was one of the perks of being her.
