IC-Naut:"You realize that other guy could put you down himself?" Naut asked, as he dodged the punch and returned to his initial course in another fluctuation.
IC: "Yes, but you would find a way to destroy the moment's peace that would give me. Let us all out of this madness, and you can enjoy it alone."OOC: Lol.
IC-Naut:"I would, but if you would learn to embrace your inner impulses and run as well, you'd realize this is actually quite a bit of fun."
IC: "Impulsiveness is what gets warriors killed in battle. I am a Prime. I must be fit to lead the Aukati. It is not right."Those words actually sent Barricade into semi-deep thought. That really did explain a lot about Optimus."Now just let us go or I will have no choice but to set your feet on fire." Optimus kept tailing Naut with his Kadin.
IC-Naut:"I would love to watch you give me a serious autohit without permission," Naut said sarcastically, continuing to run."You know, this is great exercise."
IC: Optimus pointed his finger at Naut and caused the fire to materialize there.OOC: If Toa of Fire can't do that, react to him shooting the fire at him from his finger. But I'm pretty sure they can...
IC-Naut:Naut jumped away, his position reversing mid air, as a flame was created in the air. However, it fizzled out almost immediately, having no fuel to keep it going."Nope."
OOC: Good. So they can.IC: Optimus did it again and kept it going--and growing. "Let. Us. Out. Now."
OOC: Actually, I'm not sure if they can or not. But meh.IC-Naut:However, Tahuva's continuing to burn a flame without a source of fuel meant that if his concentration wavered at all, it would sputter out. That, and he was burning away all the oxygen in the room. If he continued as he was, soon he, and everybody else would begin choking on deadly gases.Still, Naut continued to run around in the room, narrowly evading the mentioned flame.
IC: Optimus had the flame fly at Kakama speed at Naut, then it vanished. Hopefully it hit.
IC-Naut:Ooh, close, but no cigar-but, then again, close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades. You see, what happened, was that Naut had just barely gotten his foot away from the flame on his jump, and it vanished before it hit the piano he had been on-so, no continuous flame. However, Naut was getting bored, so he let everything drop.Quite a few things would likely hit the Aukati, but hey, I'm not sure. It all really depends on what TNG does."What is that weird voice?"
IC: "AAAGH!""WHAT IN THE NAME OF--""You're insane!""KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARZ!"All the Aukati dropped to the ground, and the piano landed dangerously near Ratchet. "I meant in a more orderly manner..." Optimus got up, as did the others. "Now, nobody--""What voice?""Argh. You asked."
IC-Naut:"That voice. You know what it is." Naut had a strangely haunted look in his eyes."The voice you hear speaking in your dreams, whispering your name, the thought of bloody tortures interspersed with its breathy words." The Aukati looked at him strangely."That voice on the wind, always watching you, laughing at your pitiful attempts to do good as it plots your destruction."That voice in the darkness, showing you that another presence is there." The Aukati were all glaring at him."That voice in your head." He stopped for a moment."That voice that shows you aren't really in control." He breathed in deeply."That voice."
IC: Optimus shook his head. "I've heard that before. A more well-executed attempt, now."
IC-Naut:"It's four A.M. and I've been awake all day, you really think I'm going to come up with something good?"
IC: Optimus decided he would try his hand at teaching Naut how annoying he was. "Yes."
IC-Naut:"I can already tell from the look on your face you don't."
IC: "I prefer to keep a straight face. Might I add that I am still waiting?"
IC: [Lio]"Big Convoy, let's just leave. I have no idea how the Aukati have become so moronic, and I don't want to know."
OOC: Hubert, you realize that Lio and Big Convoy were also caught up in this ridiculous string of pranks and you just weren't around to post about it?IC: "Judging by the quite awkward situation you were in earlier, Lio, I don't believe you have any position to say that. I am only challenging this Toa to come up with something more mature than a spinning tunnel of stray gravity."
IC: [Lio Convoy]"Optimus, I just want to relax, save Matoran and eat something. I do not want to get involved with ridiculous things that occur to the sub-ordinates that you cannot keep in line."
IC: "He is not my sub-ordinate. And if you're referring to the others, the only thing they did was attempt to stop this blatant stupidity. Or, rather, fail miserably at it, depending on your perspective."
IC: [Lio Convoy]"You know what, I'll just leave you all in here and go off and do my own thing."The Vortixx punched a nearby wall, breaking through it and walking away.
IC: "Please do." The Maximals were getting on Optimus's nerves. Somehow, he felt that despite their victory and utter destruction of all the Phantoms, the new challenges ahead would be much less simple.OOC: Which is true, obviously. In this RPG world, they're more likely to end up confused and thrown around than fighting another simple, right vs wrong TVTrope-style war.
IC: Big ConvoyBig Convoy gave Optimus the finger, and followed Lio. "So they finally broke your cool."
IC: [Lio Convoy]"No. I am just very tired."
IC: Optimus sighed. "Yours was broken long ago." Though, they were both right, in all honesty. He had been annoyed to the point of attempting to set someone he didn't know on fire. And Big Convoy had...well, no need for the details on that. OOC: Wait, is that for Lio or Optimus? Though it's true for both.
OOC: It was for Lio, but that works too.IC: Big Convoy"What say we go find somewhere less cold?"
OOC: Secer, Kali, and Von from Le-WahiIC: Kali and Von waited, as Secer went out to scout. When he came back, he had a large frown pasted on. "The contact's gone" he said. "Dead, or just disappeared. Either way, we now have nothing to do.""We could train." Von suggested."Too risky in Ko-Wahi. Ko-Koronians are scholars, not fighters. It'll bring too much attention to us."As if we didn't have enough attention." Kali said sarcastically."Well, Let's just wander the town, then," Von said. "I don't usually like doing nothing, but we've actually got free time for the first time in 5 months. Let's enjoy it."OOC: TNG, meet Armageddon Team. Please figure out a way to get Optimus and Secer together.-Bane
IC: Optimus sighed. "This is ridiculous. Aukati, let's go." He led his team out, then ran into another team. "Oh. Sorry, excuse me."OOC: That's your cue.
IC: "Excuse me," Von replied.Secer, always curious, was the first to ask. "Hey, who are you?"Kali, always annoyed and cynical, followed up with a "And what's with the get-up?"OOC: Kali's talking about the autobot sign, TNG-Bane
OOC: I never gave them an Autobot sign...lol. IC: Optimus paused to calm down. These seemed like good people. "We are the Aukati, an organization that exists to protect the innocent and defend freedom. For it is the right of all sentient beings." He pointed at the others one by one. "The field medic, Ratchet. The spy and assassin, Dino. The tough soldier, Barricade. There are more, but they are otherwise engaged." He looked the team over. "My name is Optimus Prime. I am the leader of the Aukati. And you are?"
IC-Naut:Naut backflipped out, to where he was within the ranks of Von, Secer, and Kali."My team is here!" He proclaimed triumphantly, and pointed at Tahuva."Destroy."
IC: "Ignore him. He happens to be insane. We are attempting to get him to an institution." However untrue that "mission" was, it would soon become true.
IC-Naut:"I would much rather be insane than out of it."
IC: "..." Optimus just waited for the three newcomers to answer."You are out of it, you pitiful excuse for a toilet plunger."
IC-Naut:Naut smiled over at the one who had insulted him, seemingly doing nothing, though that other Toa slammed into the ground again.
IC: Barricade uttered a swear word, then got back up, assisted by Ratchet.
IC:"Okay..." said Kali. "What do you do for an encore?"Secer considered. "So you're good guys. Are you commandos, or upfront about it?"Vos just listened.-Bane
IC-Naut:Naut threw a snowball at Ratchet, and while the other Toa was distracted he proceeded to make everybody float and spin rather fast. 'Cause he was bored.
