IC: Caige (Park, Onu-Koro)"Nahhhh, I think you need to be cuddled."-Teezy
IC-Raxa:"...Incurso, you have five minutes. Make the best of them." That said, Raxa walked back to the sandwich shop.
IC: Caige (Park, Onu-Koro)"What about Caige? What does Caige do?"-Teezy
IC: IncursoIncurso pulled out a knife - a sharp knife, with some bloodstains, and a strange edge, with spikes running along it. "I'm going to give you a choice, Caige. Either you can behave sensibly... or I can cut off one of your fingers. This knife is special, you see. When it cuts something off, it turns it into mincemeat. Can't stick it back together again, or even put a replacement in. If I cut off anything with this, it's gone for good. Your finger will be first. Then I'll move on to larger things. Now, what do you say?"
IC: Caige (Park, Onu-Koro)"Teehee. You said large things."-Teezy
IC: Incurso"I don't see what you find so amusing."
IC: Caige (Park, Onu-Koro)Caige wasn't listening, though: he plucked the arrow out of his sandwich and put the top half in his mouth, taking the pickle speared through the arrow and swallowing it whole. He tossed the arrow towards a trash can - perfect landing, nothing but trash bag - and began to go to town on the sandwich.-Teezy
IC: Incurso"You are disgusting, you know that?"
IC: Caige (Park, Onu-Koro)"Your personality is disgusting. I could count all your friends on both hands. I could count all your friends on both hands if you chopped off all my fingers."-Teezy
IC: Incurso"I don't need friends. Attachment means emotion, emotion can be manipulated or used in order to manipulate. Friends and other attachments are weaknesses, and therefore, they are for the weak."
IC: Caige (Park, Onu-Koro)"And then what happens when you need help someday? Everyone you've ever shunned won't see any need to help you, and you'll end up a corpse, as cold and alone in death as you were in life."Caige shrugged: the manic light that always inhabited his eyes had disappeared, and his face had lost its cheerful grin, instead dimming to a perfectly even expression."Just food for thought," he said, tossing his trash into the trash bin - another perfect swish - and walking away.-Teezy
IC: Incurso"What makes you think that I have not recognised this already? Death is a part of life. If I am to die just as I live, then so be it."
IC: Hound & Co, Onu-KoroKirian, his hood pulled low, appeared before Tirus, who sat on the bench, the place he'd been for hours. "We have a problem." Kirin hissed, his eyes still obscured behind the hood."Great. We're taking on one of the most secure fortress on the island, and we have a problem? Lad, you're not good for morale." Tirus murmued."Halion, at the re-" Kirian began, sitting down beside Tirus"At the request of Onyx, has stopped conversing with the female Toa we planned to have Gravity disguse himself as." A third voice said, finishing Kirian sentence before he had a chance to. Hound, walking calmly, approached the group. "So our only chance is a full-frontal assualt." He said, calm and composed. Tirus remained quiet for approximately a second. "Are you daft? With all respect, Hound, we wouldn't stand a chance. Even with Raxa and Co. backing us. Even if we had forty Skakdi armed with clubs, we wouldn't stand a chance at a full frontal assualt."
OOC: I'm assuming that Tajeh isn't with Raxa nor Hound & Co. I'm just gonna make him head to a hotel for the time being. IC, y'all know where he is at. IC(Tajeh): Tajeh was sitting in the lobby of a newly built hotel. It was better to be here then getting lost in a strange Koro. Raxa went off....doing something. Tirus and the others were discussing strategy. Tajeh was no help there. Again, the feeling if worthlessness came over Tajeh.
IC-Raxa:Raxa, with Incurso and Caige in two, walked back to the bench he had left earlier, from the park he had been at. He noticed Kirian and Hound were there as well."Well. I doubt the news is good, is it?"
IC: Hound & Co, Onu-KoroTirus tilted his head to smile a sarcastic smile at Raxa. "No, it isn't. We're going to pull a full-frontal-assualt. In other words, we're going to try to seige Ta-Koro with snow-balls. Loosely packed snow-balls."Hound remained silent as he leaned against the tree behind the bench.
IC: Vorasku walked into Onu-Koro. He noticed a matoran, which he attempted to rob, but the matoran got away. He then proceeded to walk toward the center of the Koro.OOC: Open to interaction.
IC:Quoribay arrived in Onu-Koro. Shortly afterwards he was on his way to Ko-koro.OOC: Quoribay to Ko-wahi
IC: Incurso"Why not be more subtle in our attack?"
IC: Tirus, Onu-Koro"There's one way in. And that's constantly monitored by Raveian. The only reason Halion's girl got in was because Halion probably bribed Raveian. We've no choice, lad." Tirus said, sighing.
IC: Incurso"Not true. There's a little thing called a Volitak. Makes the wearer completely undetectable. Combine it with a Toa of Sonics and we can get someone to the exact location we want to reach."
IC: Tirus, Onu-Koro"You get past Raveian, you get picked up by Halion, or Luncora. Or that lightning lass. Onyx puts all of his henchmen on strict orders to sweep the area with their elemental abilites. Besides, have fun navigating the catacombs."
IC: Incurso"Didn't you listen to what I said? The Volitak will make someone near enough completely undetectable, and the power of sonics will allow them to discover the location of the beings and follow their hearing to reach it." Incurso sighed. "We provide a distraction out front, and our metaphorical friend sneaks in."
IC: [uyism]"What are your goals now?"
IC-Holluk:"Don't know."
OOC: Shade and the rest of the NEX guys from Ta-WahiIC: "So, here's the hard part: finding Raxa." Shade said, lightly walking on the compacted earth that made up the tunnels. "How conspicuous is he usually? And how have things been since he took over?" He passed the lightstone quarry, dazzled by the brilliance of light.-Bane
OOC: Hatann from Ta-wahi.IC: "Don't worry, we'll find him" Hatann assured him, "Just so long as he wants to be found. He has a way of knowing when to pop up, you know?" The three strolled into the village, and started looking around. The burly Skakdi wasn't so worried about stealth here - for one, his armour fit right in, and for another, it wasn't here that he had committed three murders in as many days.OOC: Kal Grochi, that's your cue. Have Raxa turn up when it's convenient.
IC-Raxa:Raxa, meanwhile, had walked off from the group he had been with, practicing using his powers over crystal to find ways to walk on the ceiling, or something like that. Soon, Hatann's group passed through the low side-tunnel that Raxa was in, and he willed a lightstone into existence, surprising the others by both that, and his now upside-down nature."Hello. Did you guys know that they reversed gravity down here? You're so, like, ten minutes ago." He dropped down, facing Hatann right-side up this time."Aside from my jokes, I take it your missions were a success?"
IC: "Doubly so" Hatann replied with a large Skakdi smile. "As for the gravity, that may have been me, though I didn't intend the effect to be permanent. As you see, we have this toa travelling with us. He was with Shade, though he did not prevent us from killing him. He wishes to join NEX, assisted us in finding Mantoxis and even killed his friend. Having seen his methods, I would recommend him to you as a full member."
IC-Raxa:"I see," Raxa said, thinking. He looked Rockosis over a few times, carefully. "Hmm...good build, certainly looks like a fighter...question is, is he a fighter, or an assassin?" Raxa asked.IC-Aclaraung:Aclaraung, bored, proceeded to make his way off to Le-Wahi. He wanted to be back near the jungle he knew so well.
IC: [uyism]"Massive Chasm of Ore (Great Mine) possesses unique minerals."
IC: Tirus, Onu-Koro"I assume the Toa of Sonics would use sonar to find them, correct? The catacombs go in for miles and miles. Even a Toa of Sonics hearing doesn't go that far. And if a Toa of Sonics did use sonar... well then, Raveian would pick up on it."
IC(Kaerhi): Kaerhi gave a low growl. He still hated this Raxa. He was no longer the cold, silent person he meant to be when he arrived. He was angry and rash. A murderer. He would kill without thinking. He would kill this Raxa if he had the chance....
IC-Raxa:Raxa turned to glance at Kaerhi, an unworried gesture, just looking over at the Skakdi."I have had enough of this tomfoolery," the Toa of Crystal said. "Either stop with your madness, or you'll be a target for somebody yourself...and in-organization assassinations are just messy."
IC(Kaerhi): Kaerhi pushed past Hatann and strode up to Raxa, face-to-mask with him. He stopped growling, but gave him a look that gave the challenge, do it.
IC-Raxa:Raxa nearly smiled, though a steely glint came in his eye as he glared into Kaerhi's eyes."Hatann," he said to the other Skakdi, not looking away, "Would you like to prove your loyalty to this organization?"IC-Holluk:"Noted," Holluk said to Uyism. He put away his chainmail, and stood up."Let us go there. I am interested."
IC: [uyism]Uyism nodded, and began to lead the other Iroiit towards the tunnels which lead down to the Great Mine. The last time she had gone there, they had been blown up, and she had ... fallen through a hole in the ground and into it. Luckily, it had allowed her and Tarnok to save Sulov, so at least the benefits outweighed the pain of falling. It was probably slightly fixed, but the ores would still be there even if the mine was pretty much destroyed.
IC: "Sure" Hatann said, grabbing Kaerhi by the shoulders and pulling him back from Raxa. "Cool it" he said calmly as he stood inbetween the two. "This won't do you any good. Hate him all you like, but killing him will only make your life harder." As he said it, he was looking right into the other Skakdi's eyes - a sign of great trust among their race, where almost anyone could blind you if you made eye contact.Even though he had used force against Kaerhi, their connection which allowed elemental powers did not diminish. The way Hatann saw it, he was still working with Kaerhi with a common goal, seperating him from Raxa for his own good. Whether Kaerhi saw it that way was another matter, but not one Hatann could control.
IC: "I'm a bounty hunter," Rockosis replied. "I've been working for a Black Ops team as an informant. How do you think I fight? There's a reason my sword has a hidden stabbing function." He swiftly brought his sword out of his cloak, the blade flashing out at Raxa, close enough to touch the mask, then back into the sheath. "I can fight well. Ask Hatann. I knew to cripple Mantoxis by stabbing him in the thigh." he adjusted his trenchcoat. "So what exactly do I need to pass the test? Or do you have a test?"-Bane
IC: Incurso"Why should they use sonar when they could use their sense of hearing? Your friends in there will have to walk, and talk, and even breathe, believe it or not, so there will be sound."
