Corpus Rahkshi

IC Mar'jik:

Standing up, Mar'jik sighed. Exxan was busy, and he obviously wasn't going to get many answers here anyway. Best to return to teh scene of the crime. He began to walk back to the gym, his walk turning into a run as he got close enough to sense agitation and anger.

IC: Flash | Library

Flash reached the library without drama and grabbed a random book. Mask powers? That sounds interesting. She sat down at a table and opened the book.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

IC: Zelnos | Infirmary

Zelnos heard his name being called. Looking around he saw a student pointing him out to Palma. He made his way over to her. "Were you looking for me Palma?"

IC: Root - Gym

Root pointed his staff threateningly at Shield.

"C-c-concede?" he asked, cautiously.

IC: Rain - Squid's Dorm

Rain idly looked back to check Squid's progress and nearly jumped out of her armor. "Nononononono! I said that blue right there!"

She pointed to a virtually indistinguishably different shade and a very near spot. To anyone without her practiced eyes, it would appear crazy.

IC Kat: "Oh, hush, I'll get you a new one. Tridax can go to Karz for all I care. It's not doing you or him any good like this anyway."

IC: Sidonas - Dorm

Hearing Recoil's reply, Sidonas spoke: "I- Now, this is going to sound like a suicide mission, but I plan to see if I can negotiate trade with the ghosts at Phantom-On-The-Water. If it doesn't work, I may have to..'Borrow' a few things. If I do, can you promise not to tell anyone?"

IC: Revenge-Infirmary

"Claws,"  Revenge stammered,  "Treat Claws first."

IC: Melody-Library

Melody saw Flash enter the library and waived hello.

IC: Booger-Courtyard

"Come on Deadeye, lets go do something!" Booger turned to leave.

IC: Shield

Shield shook his head. Shield then attempted to trip up Root.

IC: Deadeye

Deadeye simply shrugged,

IC: Recoil

"You can try."

IC: Exxan - Hallways. 

"Okay...." she was right, after all. "In answer to your earlier question, I'm not exactly sure what happened. All I know is that when I got to the gym, The Twins had just gotten the karz beaten out of them. The smaller one was badly wounded, and the big guy was dead. When we took them to the infirmary, there was another student already in there, dead." 

IC: Hoto - Courtyard

Sorry, edited this in. I should know better.

IC: Root - Gym

Root's staff hit the floor with a bang to intercept Shield's leg. "G-g-good," he grinned. "A h-h-hero never c-c-concedes!"

OOC: Feel free to encounter Fang. He's just roaming the halls dejectedly. Also, his new paint's all scratched.

IC Kat:

I shook my head.

"That gym is gonna be the death of us all. How's the other one doing?"

I managed to bend the twisted metal a bit, but I had to be careful. Exxan's arm was still in the thing, after all.  

IC: Flash | Library

Out of the corner of her eye, Flash saw Melody waving at her. She walked up to her, keeping her voice low. "Hi Melody, how have you been?"

OOC: I assume that word was waved, Smudge8?

IC: Melody-Library

"I'm g-g-good.  H-have you m-met Cuutuk?"

IC: Shield

Shield tried to hit Root with the back of his Tomahawk, as clumsy as ever.

IC: Glass

This was too much.

I strode up to Xara and turned her to look at me.

"What's wrong with you? He was defenseless! And less said about that crab. How would you feel if someone fried Sand from the inside out? What happened to you?" I snapped, the anger bleeding from me with every word.

IC mar'jik:

Arriving, Mar'jik saw a strange sight. Xara, reeking of anger and a hint of pride(Roman, tell me if this is right. I wasn't sure.), facing a crowd of Rahks. Mar'jik stepped forward. "What is going on here?", he asked sternly.

OOC: Yup, anger and pride. 

_____________________________________________________________________________________________

IC: Exxan - Gym.

"Not sure," I grunted, feeling my arm being twisted even more than it had when Tridax had trapped it in the first place. "He was still unconscious last I saw of him." 

____________________________________________________________________________________

IC: Era - Courtyard.

"When three Rahkshi merge their forms into one, more powerful being." I explained quickly, "three minds, one body. I could give you all my knowledge about fighting blind without actually having to teach it to you." 

____________________________________________________________________________________

IC: Xara - Gym.

"Glass...." I warned, "...they attacked me. I was defending myself." 

IC: Sidonas - Dorm

"I think negotiations are the best way to go; I'm done stealing from other Rahk like that." He got out of his chair and sat next to Recoil.

"Do you-"

Do you care about me? He thought, I really care about you Recoil, and I'm afraid of you saying no..

"Do you think that if I do all of this for people, I could be known as more than a thief?"

He said it quickly, but you could sense the nervousness in his tone.

Are we more than friends? He thought to himself about Recoil, Do you think of me the same? As more than a friend?

IC: Jayar / Courtyard

"You would form this Kaita with yourself, Hoto, and... who would you have as the third?" asked Jayar. It seemed likely the third would be him. If the ensuing pool of mind shared knowledge as she suspected, then he would accrue almost instantly the ability to navigate blind. But in the same way, his feelings for Hoto would be utterly revealed - to both her and Era. The former, he hoped and felt already knew, but informing the latter might make things... awkward.

IC: Shark / Gym

The walls were now extremely thick. There was no way he could get in.

Too bad for Zex it would be just as difficult to get out - in the ensuing chaos of the impact Shark had silently flown through the hole in the ceiling. And if Zex tried to call away the walls, he would find that an intellect as strong as his - perhaps more so in its freedom from wasteful emotion - was holding them in place.

Silently Shark snuck up behind Zex and unsheathed his sword - cloth wrapped around the hilt, a makeshift insulation against his opponent's electricity - and tapped it upon the opposite shoulder of his target that he had last time. He was prepared for a similar response, thus he readied himself to leap backwards.

If Shark could feel enjoyment, which was debatable, then he was certainly feeling it now.

IC Kat:

I nodded, grunting slightly as I untangled the metal enough to get his arm out from behind his back.

"Never saw 'em apart. He's gonna have a of a time adjusting...."

Now to get it actually off his arm. I looked it over. Didn't look like I was gonna untangle it anytime soon, but.... There. If I could cut it apart at that point, it should get a large section off.

"Gonna need you to trust me for a sec."

OOC: There was a roof. Shark couldn't have entered. Also when the ball struck he increased the height of the balls making them reach the roof.

IC: Pyre

Pyre woke up once again. He walked to the gym and saw an unusual room in the wall. He dismissed it and began leaning against it.

IC: Squid

Squid looked worried.

"Sorry," he sincerely apologized.

He got to work fixing his mistake. 

IC: Flash | Library

Flash shook her head. "No I haven't.

IC: Exxan - Hallway. 

"Ah.... what? Why?" 

IC Kat: 

"Gonna have to cut through some of this metal. Okay?"

I was beside him now, in plain view. My sword was not drawn yet, and wouldn't be unless he gave me the okay.

"It's too tangled to unravel by hand."

IC: Zex

I had learned from last time.

"Can you not be annoying?" I ask.

I spin around start throwing 3 electrified throwing knives at my enemy. 1 aimed for his chest and 1 to each side of his body to prevent him from dodging.

IC: Exxan - Hallway.

"Fine...." If she was going to try to kill me, she would have done it before starting to cut my arm loose. I still didn't exactly trust her, but I figured the worst she could do was accidentally cut my arm off. 

IC: Shark / Gym: Zex' Enclosure

Why dodge a puny know when you can knock it aside with your giant sword? Shark did this, and then spoke, which he rarely did:

"Coward?"

His voice was deep and frightening, like a chasm in the earth threatening to engulf the listener.

Then he lunged forward, swinging his sword above his head and then down-left towards Zex' head with hurricane force.

IC Kat:

I nodded, and gave what I hoped was a reassuring smile, drawing one of my swords.  

Lightly tapping my intended target, a tangle of about four large wirey metal twists.

I drew my arm back.

My blade flashed, and there was a screech of metal on metal, then several clangs as most of  the twisted staff fell to the floor.

Not a scratch on him. I smiled. 

Sheathed my blade, and pulled the rest of the tangled mess from his shoulder.

"Good as new!" I said, smiling.

IC: Zex

I sidestepped. And seeing the force behind that smash I wouldn't be surprised if it took that rahkshi time to take the sword out of the ground.

I attempt to stab at the rahkshi's arm with Assasinator.

IC: Melody-Library

"Flash th-this is Cuutuk. Cuutuk, Flash."

IC: Exxan - Hallway.

"Thanks...." I groaned, trying to work some feeling back into my arm. "But.... I've got to ask... why?" 

IC - Infirmary

Caoutchouc eyed Claws with hunger.

"Say, Palma. Is this crab gonna make it? The sludge in the refectory has been kind of sub par lately, I'm pretty hungry..."

IC Kat: I shrugged.

"Why not? Besides, you looked more ridiculous than usual. It wasn't a good look for you," I teased.

IC: Bullseye/1st Person/Outside his Dorm

I was sitting up against my doorstep as I was too tired to enter my dorm. I saw Fang, all scratched up and also looking dejected. I waved him over, perhaps I need a conversation to lift our spirits...although it would take more than a conversation to help me recover from the thoughts I've been having.

"Hey, Fang. You all right?"

IC: Toxin, Stronghold. and Punch/Counterpunch/3rd Person/Infirmary

They walked in to see if Claws and Revenge was alright when Caoutchouc said that. Toxin growled.

"Try that and you'll get my poison in your system."

IC: Revenge-Infirmary

Revenge heard what Caoutchouc said.  He knew what Caoutchouc was thinking.  He repiled in a sharp, firm, "No."

IC: Exxan - Hallway.

"Right...." for some reason, I found it a tad difficult to believe her. "Why did you come looking for me in the first place?" 

IC: Shark / Gym: Zex' Enclosure

Shark did indeed embed his sword in the Gym floor, and seeing Assassinator headed for his arm let go of the sword and leapt over it with the momentum retained from the charge. He landed in a roll on the other side of the sword and willed the Gym to spit out the sword. There was a bit of distance between him and Zex, but also the sword as the Gym forced it out of the ground.

IC Kat: I snorted.

"Looking? Lot of assumptions there. Just saw you in the infirmary struggling with that thing, and figured I'd let you know the news."

I became a little more serious.

"Look, we have our disagreements over Omega's... over his... Karz, over what happened, but.... I respect you as a fellow, so...."

I sighed, Karz, it was hard to do this.

I stuck a hand out.

"Can we start over? My name's Kat."

IC: Zex

I ran up to the sword and attempted to kick it  by the hand back away from the rahkshi. I held out my sword and Assasinator toward the rahkshi.

IC: Exxan - Hallway.

This was ridiculous. "Exxan." I said flatly, hesitating as she extended her hand towards me. She was level three now, and Fear wasn't an emotion I intended to get acquainted with anytime soon.
