BZPRPG: Onu-Wahi

IC(Tajeh): "Turaga Matau, I believe it was him, always was a fan going to the right..." Tajeh muttered.

IC-Raxa:"I recommend we go down the dangrous looking one," Raxa suggested. "Although, I'm only playing a stereotype here-Onyx might deviate from the norm on that account. So far, though, he has yet to. Besides, that fork looks fun."

IC: Hound & Co, CatacombsHound raised an eyebrow at Raxa. "You believe Onyx would put something pleasant at the bottom of that slope?" He asked, surprised. Turning to Tirus, he asked for a ball of metal, around the weight of a matoran. After it was created, he rolled it down the steep path. The ground fell apart as soon as it was touched, leaving a black, artifically created abyss where the path used to be. Tirus, struggling at the effort, telekineticly lifted the ball back up, and watched as Hound threw it at the other path. Nothing happened. Tirus walked over to the sphere, absorbed the metal, and then looked back at the others. "Seems safe enough. Certainly safer than the bottomless pit over there."

IC-Raxa:Raxa shrugged."Whaddaya know," he said. "Onyx doesn't follow all the stereotypes. Surprising." He cocked his crossbow, keeping a bolt ready, the tactical lightstone attached."Alright, let's move," he growled, starting to move off after Tirus.

IC(Tajeh): "Well, this is a very exciting day." Tajeh replied as he slowly advanced down the flat path.

IC: Hound & Co, CatacombsNothing happened as they advanced it was quiet, each footfall earning an echo in the never-ending tunnel. Finally, Kirian spoke. "I dare say that we are approaching the Throne Room. It has, according to my calculations, been nearly the time required to travel there and back."

IC(Tajeh): Tajeh lifted his shield back up, Spartan-style. "And how do you know this....?"

IC: Kirian, Catacombs"I was among the first to know of Onyx's new base in Onu-Wahi. While he was first establishing himself in the Catacombs, I hired a being to watch one of his agents, so that they could see how long it took them to enter the catacombs, and return. Cut that time in half, and you have an approximate time for descent." Kirian explained. "The being met a gruesome fate a few weeks later, but I had recieved the information by then."

IC(Tajeh): "Oh. Okay. I was just making sure you weren't going to turn on us and kill us."

IC-Raxa:"I like this kid. He had a healthy dose of suspicion added when they made him," Raxa said.

IC: Kirian, CatacombsKirian looked back at the two of them as if he was unable to find any amount humor in their statements. It was a very large possibility that what Tajeh had suggested had occured to him, or he had done it to others. Saying nothing, he looked forward, and continued walking. Tirus and Hound looked unfazed by the behavior, and continued walking as well.

IC: [uyism]Uyism kept on walking towards the Mine.

IC(Tajeh): "Do we have a battle plan or...?" Tajeh asked, his hand growing sweaty by the grip on his sword.

IC: Tirus, Catacombs"I wish." Tirus laughed. "We're attacking their base. What ever happens, they have the advantage. Staying alive and rescuing the captives is my plan, not really much you can add to that."

IC(Tajeh): Tajeh grinned but kept his eyes on the path ahead. "Brilliant. If there's any rather attractive female Matoran in there, I call dibs on saving them."

IC: GravityNot one to walk in silence, as I was doing so now, I occupied my self with shapeshifting forms every so often. A gukko, a Ta-Toa, a Ko-Matoran, one of Onyx's operatives which I had no idea what her name was, and others."Sounds like a plan," I agreed, when in the form of a Ga-Matoran.

IC: [Arkrak]"So, what do you want us to do first?"

OOC: Pie, I don't even know what your av and sig is, but it's scaring me pretty bad. IC: Hound & Co, Catacombs "The only female Ga-Matoran in there is Gahuari." Tirus said with a small laugh. "And I'm not sure she's your type."

IC(Tajeh): "How does she even know you guys? She seems really out of place for this crew."

IC: Tirus, Catacombs"Er..." Tirus said, thinking of what to say. "I don't think I'm at liberty to release that information, lad."

IC(Tajeh): Tajeh narrowed his eyes and cast a suspicious glance at Tirus. "What? She's a Matoran, a child.........Oh God."

IC: Tirus, Catacombs"If you're thinking she's my doing, then you're not exactly accurate. I suggest you be quiet, lad." He said, thinking about how Kirian might react to having someone beyond Hound & Co know about Gahuari. The thoughts were not at all comforting, and none of them ending with the discoverer having a long and happy life.

IC(Tajeh): Tajeh shut up promptly. Tirus had a certain tone about him. It wasn't a good tone.

IC: [uyism]"You are inactive it seems. We have arrived at the [iroiit equivalent of giant chasm]."

IC: GarmeShe just kept running, heading towards the city. It was so close... but she had last seen the creature inside of a public hospital... so maybe the city would do nothing to deter him.IC: TuataraThe reptile barely turned his head as a disk shot past, nearly striking his shoulder. it was surprisingly well aimed for a running target. He'd have to remember that, and watch out for any more projectiles sent his way.IC: Chronn"You are both expendable pawns to die when I feel the need to send you to do such. And first of all, I feel that I should remark once again that complaints are not to be spoken aloud. You are both to travel to Le-Koro on a very important mission, and speak to my... supplier there. He'll give you my shipment of invaluable supplies to this investigation." I responded. "His name is Hervic. Now go."OOC: This shipment of Chronn's... is trail mix. XD

IC: Ka'deAn idea struck me, one that might buy us a few seconds. As I ran past one of the lightstones set in the wall, I grabbed it and yanked it free. I then threw it in the general direction of Lizard, not caring if it hit him or not. What I cared about was the fact that I was running as fast as I could and that with any luck Lizard might be mildly distracted by a glowing rock flying past him.

IC: [Arkrak]"Got it," he said. "Come on Inc, let's go."

IC: Alia, BoforAlia led her drunken boss through the tunnels of Onu-Koro. "We have to get back home," she mumbled to him. "Come on."Unfortunately, right at the end of the tunnel, the Vortixx passed out.Alia sighed and shoved him onto the Gukko before taking off.OOC: Alia and Bofor to Kumu Islets.

IC: Gyn smiled.He wasn't displaying happiness because Mussiki had been exiled. Nor was this display a farce to keep up his public mask-he was in the confines of his own hut. And the genuine feeling wasn't just because female company was coming over.No, he was happy because the propaganda campaign was at its climax.He had built up tension in Onu-Koro's population regarding the exiled commander. Now he released it with one madu cabolo: Sulov Koskium had blown up the Great Mine. It mattered not if this proclamation was right or wrong. All that mattered was that it had been said, and that gave it a power among the populace that could turn them against the exile for good. The seeds of doubt he had planted earlier would sprout and flourish. Even the most hardcore opposition could be swayed. They would be united in hatred and paranoia, wary of any newcomers that looked remotely like the former Ussalmatoran.As for those the commander had associated with, Gyn had done much the same. The ILS was discredited at every turn. Mahdrik was revealed to be an exile from Ko-Koro, Mussiki an exile as well; Zyke wanted in Po-; Voriki a criminal across the island; and the scoundrel Sulov had associated with called 'Reordin' dishonorably discharged. The turaga had been kidnapped and were being held hostage, came the rumor produced as soon as Gyn bribed the messengers to tell tales of how they were held in cages alone as opposed to reassurances regarding their safety. Criminals walked the ranks without the knowledge of others in the squad. Word was also given of how a prisoner had been treated to torturous music and sadistic torment before being executed. In short, the Island Liberation Squad was made to look as though its people were either unlawfully evil or misled by the former kind.Nor was this propaganda kept to Onu-Koro alone, either. By now the spec ops and the few hired infiltrators he kept were spreading these messages throughout other villages. They spared Le-Koro, of course, as that was firmly on the side of the ILS. But Ko-, Ta-, Po-, and Ga- were also subject to this treatment. Smaller parts of this whole were tweaked for heightened effectiveness depending on the locale. In Ko-, for example, he emphasized how the squad did nothing to aid its people in a few days following its disaster and how its leader and a prominent matoran of the group were both dishonored in their koro...In Po-, how the squad claiming to fight Makuta did nothing against his sons and how Zyke was an illegitimate and brutal hired gun. Yet it remained the same at core. 'None of this squad were to be trusted', the voices he had planted in the villages said, and even if no one agreed or believed with those voices, they would become doubtful. Public enemies were uncommon and matoran needed something to peg blame on for their recent misfortunes apart from Makuta. They were not likely to question this message.So Gyn smiled on through his company, and even after she left. His plan was moving towards fruition.OOC: Let's be realistic here. Koro are separated by dozens of kilometers of harsh terrain infested with deadly wildlife. It's gonna take a while for people to travel from one to another, even in the case of a toa. As such, he can still say that Ko-Koro is not being aided; Aurel would get to the ILS in a day or two and it'd take them one or two more to get back. Gyn's not exempt from this problem. The spec ops can just communicate quickly with high command via messenger gukko and whatnot. He's circumventing it entirely.Gonna resurrect Aexias and make a few dudes for this. I figure it's only fair to have informant and propaganda-spreading PCs.

IC: [uyism]Uyism's guard sense tingled.

IC: Karkhalm:The Vortixx strode into the village, his eyes scanning for any sort of infraction, any sort of law-breaking, even the simplest of hints of illegal deals or hints of an Onu-Koro black market. Onu-Koro was underground, and for whatever reason it seemed to attract criminals of all sorts. It was time to bring the law to this village, seeing as how the guard was incompetent enough to allow such a soaring crime rate.

IC: Incommodo"Alright. Sounds fun." Incommodo smiled, walking out.IC: XylakThe moment Incommodo left, Xylak revealed himself, rapping sarcastically on the air in the doorframe. "Knock knock."

IC: [Arkrak]"To Le-Koro my friend!"OOC: Arkrak to Le-WAhi.

IC: Incommodo"FOLLOWING!"OOC: Incommodo to Le-Wahi.

OOC: Agate, Laryn, and Sythrih from Po-WahiIC: Agate - Onu-Wahi Tunnel -"Hey, I think I remember the rest of the way now!" This was easy for her to say, because the tunnel only went one way.

IC: Kirian, CatacombsKirian appeared next to Gravity, having momentarily activated his mask."Hajia is going to be... in a disturbing condition when we arrive." He said in his unique voice, his pale blue eyes staring at Gravity without sign of emotion. "Can I trust you to keep control of yourself? I do not wish to have the entire catacombs brought crashing down upon on me."

IC: GravityI gave the Ko-Toa a look that wouldn't help him sleep at night, but I still said, "Yeah man... I'll be fine. If anything, Onyx is going to loose a few people to Extreme Gravitic Compression."I wasn't kidding, I was quite ready to turn some people into black holes if it suited me. It wouldn't be that hard, a quick increase in gravitic pull, and suddenly their bodies start to crush together. Unfortunatly, it may take a while for that to happen... and I'd rather not get into the details.

IC: Kirian, Catacombs."Hmmm." Kirian said, walking away. "Remember that every single one of Onyx's men can strike at you while you're striking at them. Word of advice, be defensive. If you find your stomach lining coming out of your throat, or your head exploding, don't think no one has warned you."And with that cheery speech, he went back to silence.OOC: In case anyone's wondering, we're waiting for Kal. By the way, Gravity, your writing style's really improved. Not that it was bad before, but currently mine pales in comparison (Not that it didn't before ).

OOC: No one approach Kyju just yet, please.IC - Kyju - Onu-KoroKyju sipped his tea. It was atrocious, of course, but he was thirsty. Sitting in a breakfast bar, the heavily disguised Akrainid perused a news tablet. Things had been happening all over the Koro. Whenua was away- taken away and evidently corrupted -and parts of the Ussalry were in chaos as a leader, formerly held in high regard, had been dishonorably discharged. Some forces had been sent into Ko-Koro, which was in flames.In other words, things were right in place.

OOC: ...Wow, thanks man, probably because I sucked at writing beyond imagination before. True story. :PSo, anything is better then that.IC: Gravity"Kirian, I love you man, you're all sunshine and happiness," I muttered sarcasticly under my breath. Ok, fine, maybe I was a bit over-confident... But hey, I was kinda mad now. Even if none of you cheerful people could tell.I was getting ready to EXPLODE, but giving the confined nature of the area, perhaps that wasn't a good idea.
