IC: [The Fourth]"You seem annoyed," she remarked, her maternal senses easily detecting Zacax's annoyance.
IC: Aurel:"I think..." Aurel said, "That they went to go find Verak."
IC: Zacax and Calebos"No annoyance here," Zacax statedCalebos walked up to his big brother and handed him the journal, "I managed to save it!""Thanks little bro!" Zaax said hugging Calebos, "That's what I fear..."
IC: CorexCorex breathed a sigh of relief, assuming Aurel was correct."Yeah," he said, "you're probably right."
IC: [The Fourth]"If you don't want to go to Ga-Koro it's fine."
IC: Zacax "To Ga-Koro before Ambera and Verak run off together..." Zacax said, "And the fourth it's fine, I need to make sure Ambera doesn't flog near Verak,"
IC: [The Fourth]"Oh well, let's go."
IC: ZacaxZacax steered the ship off the port and out to sea, heading to Ga-Wahi.OOC: Crew of the Life Fire to Ga-Wahi.
IC: (Az/Ko-Koro)The first thing Az felt was pain, a great deal of pain. Although Rewera's claws didn't pierce his skin that deep, they still caused to bleed heavily. He felt rather woozy in his head, indicating that he'd lost a good bit of blood. In an attempt to stave the bleeding, he began to rip pieces of cloth off his robes and wrap it around his wounds.Gathering his strength, managed to get up and walk on over to the bed. He began to rip up the blankets and cover more of his wounds. After patching himself up, he quietly hurled the dead Matoran out the door. After which, he began to drink water, hoping it would make up for the blood loss. By now, he was exausted.So after locking the door, he climbed awkwardly into the bed and slipped into a painful sleep.
OOC: Darylhii from the Kumu Islets.IC: [Darylhii]The being looked upon the ruins of the village silently. He was rather bemused at all the change that had occurred since his passing, and it would be interesting to discover what had caused these changes. A small glint of fascinating appeared in his eyes, and Darylhii began to walk down towards Ko-Koro.
IC: ZealokanHe nodded at Dekuna, and whistled loudly. Soon, Aki-Nui was back, Payiges still on his back. 'Good boy, I knew I could count on you.'He then yelled to the other members of the Hau Karda. 'Hey guys, get over here, we're gonna have a meeting!'
IC: KrayzikkKrayzikk just limped along in silence. Each step seemed for difficult than the last, and there was an almost visible weight on his shoulders.IC: RavageKnowing he'd been caught, Ravage deactivated his Volitak. He decided to play up his last advantage. None of them had seen his appearance, nearly indistinguishable from a Rahi. He stared at them all, and cocked his head. "Arow? Mrrrow." His voice was a perfect imitation of a confused Rahi.Darnit, Rewera. Get here soon.
IC:By now, Quoribay was leading two more ko-matoran to the "safe house" when saw another group of 4 ko-matoran trying to sneak out of the desolated city. He motioned for them to join him, and they did because, after all, there is safety in numbers. He brought them to the others and went to find sideways. Once he found the toa of magnetism, Quoribay said," I've gathered 11 matoran, but I'll need help to escort them out of the city and lock them in a cave"
IC (walking through Ko-Koro):Nova's only compliment of Esao's stellar markmanship was a pair of surprised blinks. He shook his head to ensure he wasn't dreaming and began to keep a lookout for other thieves, as Esao had said to do.No conspicuous heads revealed themselves to the young Toa of Fire, and as he approached the inn, he resigned himself to standing to one side as the medics went about their business.
[iC: Rannin]Rannin had set his friend down for the medics to do their work, and was somewhat surprised to his Nova nearby. "Hello."
IC: Esao (Inn, Ko-Koro)Esao turned to Krayzikk and Riversong."Have either of you received medical training? Gotten certified? Worked in a hospital? Anything?"-Teezy
IC: Krayzikk"No. I only dated the doctor." Krayzikk quipped bitterly, sitting down on a bench.
IC: Esao (Inn, Ko-Koro)"Alright," Esao sighed. "Best we've got for now. Let me get you healed up and then you can come give me a hand."He looked up at the Titan and cocked his head."It's Krayzikk, right?"-Teezy
IC: Krayzikk"Yes." Krayzikk grimaced, as he moved slightly. "And I'm sorry, but I haven't the foggiest who you are."
IC: Esao (Inn, Ko-Koro)"I'm the guy telling you your wrist is pretty much shot," replied Esao dryly, crouching and examining the arm. "A couple ribs, too, from the way you just grimaced, but there's not much we can do about that besides let 'em heal naturally and wait for the hairline fractures to heal on their own. Good news is that since your chest isn't completely flayed, you can't have hurt more than three, so that just leaves the wrist to deal with. Could someone get me the materials for a splint?"-Teezy
IC: Krayzikk"So, doc. I suppose it would be bad to mention I was repeatedly kidney-punched by a Bearer on a Mark high?"
IC: Esao (Inn, Ko-Koro)"I saw that," said Esao, with the slightest tinge of respect. "Offing the guy who offed your girl. Props for that. In any case, you don't appear to be going septic from the blood flow, so if there was any damage at all, it was limited to one particular kidney. It should recover on its own, but I'll probably give you some meds for it just to be sure."-Teezy
IC: Krayzikk"How'd you know that?" Krayzikk asked curiously. "I don't recall mentioning Riaril."Krayzikk shifted his weight again, and winced. Fortunately Riversong had already taken care of the cosmetic damage.
IC: Esao (Inn, Ko-Koro)"It was the way you fought him," said Esao. "Nobody fights like that unless they have something or someone that they're fighting for - oh, thanks, that'll come in handy - and besides, the way you said dated in past tense clued me in. I also saw the way you looked at me when you heard about Flyssa. It means you've lost someone."He began to work on the splint, and his eyes began to glaze."Another thing we have in common."-Teezy
IC: KrayzikkKrayzikk nodded, his expression darkening slightly. "Well, you guessed right. The bugger killed her almost by accident, while she was right behind me. I was trying to protect her, but I couldn't protect her from that."Krayzikk decided to continue talking, it took his mind off the pain. "I fought him once before. I might have killed him, and died trying, but a third party intervened and stopped us both."
IC: Esao (Inn, Ko-Koro)"Well, good thing they did. He's dead anyway, and you saved a lot of lives back there, so...things ended up alright, I guess. As alright as they can get after losing someone like that."He finished up with the splint and began to move to bandage the ribs.-Teezy
IC: KrayzikkKrayzikk shook his head. "Just balancing the scales. Did you hear about the Ta-Koro Fortress Guard Hospital? I was there. Too hung-over to do anything."He sighed. "The way I look at it, I was ujust putting things as right as possible. I may have indirectly caused many deaths, and I directly saved a similar number."
IC(Amalod)
Amalod walks away from what used to be the academy. After a few lessons here and there it seemed to simply shut down; each student and teacher making their way off campus. Her own teachers seemed to had disappeared as well. Now, she was the last one here and it was her time to leave.She couldn't help but cry when she turned her back to the place of knowledge. How she wanted to learn the language, history, geography and everything else about this wonderful place. But, now she couldn't and she had no other choice than to leave.With a small trunk holding her few belongings and her telescope slung over her shoulder, the Ga-Toa begins to walk into town; drying the tears with her gloved hand.-Mef Man
IC: Esao (Inn, Ko-Koro)"Atonement, then."Esao finished bundling up the ribs and began to rifle through one of the pill cabinets, looking for some painkillers and kidney meds."Trust me, it doesn't get any easier. No matter how many people you help, no matter how many lives you save, there's always going to be that nagging voice telling you that you didn't do enough. And you're right. You didn't. Only 1 person in a billion ever does. But on the off chance you get to be that one person, it'll pay off. And if you don't consider yourself that one person, then you can take solace in the fact that a lot of people will. Trust me. I've been there."-Teezy
IC: KrayzikkKrayzikk looked at his hands. "You're right. Never in my life have I done enough."He held up a hand. "These hands were trained from the moment they came into existence to maim, harm and kill. And that's all they've done. Anything pure they touch turns to dust, and anything evil simply dies."He flexed them, and continued to stare. "Nothing good has ever come from them. No creation, no healing. Just death. destruction, and the ruination of lives."
IC: Esao (Inn, Ko-Koro)"Easy, tiger," said Esao in warning. "We still need you to find out who did this and how we can get them back for killing Fly--all those people."-Teezy
IC: KrayzikkKrayzikk looked up, and smiled a bitter smile. "That I can do. That I can."Krayzikk's past was stretched out behind him, almost visibly stained red with lives lost, and wet with the tears of the survivors. His spirit flew behind it, almost forced to the gropund by the weight it carried. And it had cracked and fractured. One solid blow, one more hit in the right place, and it would snap, possibly destroying him forever.
IC: Esao (Inn, Ko-Koro)Esao loved to brood: between polishing his bow, shooting his bow, polishing his kukri, practicing with his kukri, and cutting throats of evildoers, it was one of his favorite pastimes. However, there was no time for him to do so right now. Even though there was nothing more he'd have wanted to do than go back, build Flyssa the monument she deserved with his bare hands, take a few hours to remember the brief time they had known each other, and then butcher the Skakdi who ended her life before his eyes, Esao knew that, for the time being, he was needed here. So he didn't brood. He merely mixed the meds Krayzikk needed with a flask of Bula juice and gave it to the Titan."That's the spirit, tiger," he said. "Now drink that, take it easy for a while, and you can give me a hand later."-Teezy
IC: Krayzikk"This better be non-alcoholic." Krayzikk muttered, as he down it in one gulp.
IC: Esao (Inn, Ko-Koro)"It's Bula juice," he countered, with a Cupids-bow smirk. "My family practically invented the industry. Non-alcoholic."-Teezy
IC: Krayzikk"Good. I swore off alcohol."
IC: Esao (Inn, Ko-Koro)"I admire that kind of commitment," said Esao. "Never touched the stuff, myself. Ditto for cigarettes. They tend to throw my body out of the equilibrium I've designed for it."-Teezy
IC:Having dealt with Az, Rewera ran through the village following Ravage, but got sidetracked when she spotted a Matoran that had been burned and gotten stuck under the collapsed wall of one of the huts. She had to hlep him. Digging him out didn't take too long, but every second was valuable. Luckily, he had just been stuck and not broken a leg or ankle. Rewera quickly sent the Matoran to make his way to wherever he could find safety and healing, while she was going to continue searching for danger. Starting with Ravage. She tried to focus on his smell, but there was too much smoke in the air to pinpoint his location.That's when she heard something. "Arow? Mrrrow." It was distant, but not too far away. And it definitely was Ravage. Turning towards the sound, Rewera started running again.OOC: Btw. Tyler, the exchange with Kray up there was a great read! Wouldn't mind having Rewera interact with them later.
IC: [The Twenty-Eighth]Twenty-Eight was helping with fixing up the injured.
IC (Ice Howl Inn):Nova turned, surprised. "Hi," he said to the teacher.
