IC: Soli Soli looked up Stronin, "Got any better ideas?"
IC: [stronin]"Let's go get a drink."
IC: Soli"You do remember what happened last time, right?"
IC: [stronin]"I beat up a large group of people and you beat up your kidnapper."
ooC: So do you want to interact with the Lunar Fox, did you even read his posts?IC: SoliSoli laughed, "Then I take it you do remember."
OOC: How he get a gun?IC: [stronin]"So, are we going to get a drink or not?"
ooC: He's a Vortixx it's his foreign tech.IC: Soli"Meh, whatever you want to do. I suppose."
OOC: Ah, I see.IC: [stronin]"Brilliant, time to see if I can ACTUALLY get drunk for once!" he said cheerfully as he walked out the door.
IC: SoliSoli just shook her head and followed Stronin.
IC: [stronin]The duo soon arrived at the bar they had been to previously. A few of the patrons within shirked at their presence, remembering what had happened last time, but nobody tried to trouble them. Stronin grinned as he skipped towards the bar, sat down and quickly ordered a drink."See, nothing is going to go wrong."
IC: Soli"Right let's just hope it stays that way."ooC: I'm off for the night, also have you decided on whether you wish to interact with the Lunar Fox?
OOC: Sure. It'd be awesome.IC: [stronin]Stronin nodded as he gulped down some more beer. "Until plot convenience forces a bar fight on us that is."
IC: NPC Bar PatronLess than a second after Stronin had finished his sentence when an arm landed on his shoulder, "Come now matey, don't be so negative. Lookie here," The Matoran said waving a bottle, "it's the infamous fifty-fifty. Invented by some scholar in Ko, this drink is as fickle as chance itself, hence the name. You never know what glass you'll get from the bottle. Different every time you pour it. It can be more alcoholic than the Salamander, or have more caffeine than the Ihu Dew. You want some, it's free."IC: SoliSoli chuckled, she knew very well just what this Fifty-Fifty, the Matoran wasn't kidding when he described it.
IC:Gruk3The Toa was shocked, or something. But he snapped out of it, reforming back into one being, and rushed to Zyckel's side. "What the...?"OOC:No idea what happened to Gruk3, or if anything even happened to him. If some bad thing happened to him, then please inform me.
IC: JikalAs the group continued on their way to find the elusive restaurant, they unknowingly walked into what could best be described as the bad part of Ta-Koro. Every village had one, that one section of town that isn't quite safe, where the unsavory deals occur, and where criminals lurk.And so it was thus, as the group walked, they were watched through every open window by unseen eyes.OOC: Yes, I am going somewhere with this.
OOC: To Krayzikk: Do you already have something in mind (in which case I'll let you decide where this goes) or are you not entirely sure what will happen (in which case I'll try to help you along)?IC: Tawara, Ta-KoroTawara began to feel uneasy. Fewer people were in the streets, and an eerie quiet descended upon the trio. The cobbles were less tidy, and Tawara heard a squelch as she stepped in a substance she preferred not to try to identify. Disgusting. She'd have to wash her foot before the day was over.It wasn't as if Tawara had never seen places like this before. She carefully strung her bow and nocked an arrow. It might have been overkill, but it was better to be prepared.
OOC: I know where it will start, but not how it will end. In other words, I'll kick it off, and then, well, who knows?IC: Jikal, NPC Gang LeaderJikal, also, felt like he was being watched. Though it wasn't an overt action, his hand shifted to be near to the handle of his broadsword. The trio continued walking for a time. Then, Jikal heard yelling.The trio rounded the corner, and there, a gang of thugs had an old turaga surrounded.One Toa, apparently the leader, held a knife. "Hand over the money, gramps." The Turaga, terrified, shook his head."Have it your way, then." The Toa punched the Turaga.Jikal stepped forward. "Stop. Now." His voice was hard. The Toa turned, and so did his thugs. Eight beings in all, three Skakdi, two Vortixx, and three Toa. "You should mind your own business, Toa."The thugs were slowly starting to encircle the group. The leader started to grin. "Now you gotta pay."Jikal set his broadsword on the ground. His eyes started to glow poison green, in contrast to their normal blue. He removed his cloak, revealing his glowing Mark. He looked at the gang leader. "No. It's you who will have to pay."OOC: Feel free to RP the NPCs, aside form the leader.
IC-KuAnLo, NPC Skakdi:"I don't think you understand us," one skakdi said, his spikes tipped with a purple color, and a long, jagged knife held in his hands. "You see, we're the ones in charge of this part of the village. Not you." He held up his knife, ready to kill the Toa of Electricity, but suddenly stopped, gasping in pain. He slid to the ground, part of his spine having been ripped off."I've always hated these bloody creatures," KuAnLo rasped, chewing on the skakdi's fleshy spine. "These thugs always think they're in charge, until I come along." He noticed the skakdi twitch slightly, and he dug his hand into the base of the being's skull. He pulled away, something stringy stuck on the end of his claws. He looked up at the beings by him."What do you say I help you eradicate these brakas?" KuAnLo said to the Toa up front. "I'll avoid eating you in exchange for their flesh. Deal?" He asked then, grinning widely.
OOC: Oh, Grochi's take on things is always...interesting.IC: Raknar (Magma Lounge, Ta-Koro)"There migh' be a spot for y' on th' ship," said Raknar; his posture was relaxed, but he was obviously curious about what the Toa of Lightning could do.-Teezy
OOC: It is, isn't it?IC-Grochi:"I don't know," Grochi said, leaning back in his chair. "I don't really know if we should bring her with us." He then smiled at the Toa sitting across from him. "How do you want me to help with those?" Grochi said to Song.
OOC: Curses, ninja'd again!IC: Gunner - Magma LoungeGunner leaned back in his chair, still milking his glass of whisky. It was hardly the worst stuff he had ever drunk, but it was right up there. Only the Rama Hive could really deliver.He focused back to the newcomer. She was attractive, no doubt, but with that killer edge that meant she may have no qualms against his death. Her weapons spoke of a swordsman, probably close-range fighting, but the knives could hint at some throwing practice? Only one way to find out.-Void
IC: Tawara, Ta-Koro"Come on, guys. Let's get out of here," whispered Tawara. "We don't want to end up butchered by these thugs." She kept her arrow nocked. One of the criminals, a Skakdi in blue-gray armor, lunged at Jikal at a motion from his leader.OOC: Tawara isn't very altruistic.
IC: JikalJikal looked at KuAnLo. "Promise not to harm my friends as well," He gestured to Tawara and Kitsune. "And you have a deal." To Tawara, "Sorry. I can't do that." His Mark absolutely blazed, KuAnLo's actions giving him more power. Jikal lunged forward, and grabbed one of the Vortixx, and lifted him straight into the air, before throwing him ten feet to slam against a wall. The Vortixx slumped, and lay still. The leader jumped him from behind, but Jikal whirled and slammed his fist into the Toa's chest, sending him flying. The toa shakily stood, and looked at Jikal in horror. "What are you?" He was terrifeied, terrified because Jikal's strength far exceeded normal limits.IC: Song, MagmaPoolSong smirked as she answered Grochi. "You had my attention with the word ship. I want an adventure. I'm bored. I don't have enough students to occupy my time anymore." She leaned forward. "You want me to prove what I can do." It wasn't a question, but a statement. Her eyes brightened with the prospect of a challenge.
IC: Raknar (Magma Lounge, Ta-Koro)"Kind of," said Raknar with a shrug. He looked pensive for a moment: it was an odd expression for a Skakdi.Finally, he jerked his head at Gunner."Kill 'im."OOC: TROLOLOLOLOL-Teezy
IC: SongSong's head swiveled to look at Gunner. After a moment, "No." Her gaze swiveled back to look at Raknar.
IC: Raknar (Magma Lounge, Ta-Koro)Raknar's eyebrows shot up and he smirked slightly."Alrigh'," he said, jerking his head at Grochi this time. "How 'bout 'im?"-Teezy
IC: SongSong's eyes flicked to Grochi. Then back to Raknar, her stare level and calm. "No." A slight smirk played across her face.
IC-Grochi:Grochi smiled. He leaned back in his chair. "Now, Raknar, I doubt our guest will do that," he said, laughing slightly. "However, I can test her a bit better than that." He picked up the knives from the table, using his Kualsi to teleport around the room. Every stop he made he threw one knife at Song with deadly accuracy.IC-KuAnLo:"Your friends were included in my proposition," KuAnLo growled, before turning. He swiped his claw-the other Vortixx fell to the ground, gurgling as blood slowly poured out of its throat. After a few moments, it stopped, lying still.
IC: SongSong, who was already on the alert and monitoring the groups' electrical impulses, activated her mask. She leaned forward to avoid a knife from behind, simultaneously drawing a dagger, and deflected several of the knives and caught the last. She deactivated her mask, and held out the knife she had caught to Raknar.
IC: Raknar (Magma Lounge, Ta-Koro)Raknar sat, staring at the dagger for several seconds. Finally, he spoke."Welcome to th' Infernavika, miss," he said softly."-Teezy
IC: Tawara, Ta-KoroTawara began to back away, then fired her arrow as a tall creature similar to Jikal and Kitsune (OOC: It's a Toa, but Tawara doesn't actually know what Toa look like) swung at her with his axe. He screamed as the projectile struck him in the shoulder.Darn. Not lethal.The creature her arrow had struck dropped his weapon and began to stumble away from the fight.OOC: Two Vortixx and a Skakdi down, two or three Toa, two Skakdi and a gang leader to go.
IC-KuAnLo:KuAnLo looked up from the Vortixx he'd been making a meal of, seeing an injured Toa stumble off. He grinned, standing up. "Oh no you don't," he said, running up to the Toa. He tackled the annoying being, looking him in the eyes."You and your gang have been an annoyance to me for many, many years," KuAnLo said then, rearing back a fist and punching the Toa straight in the mask. His kanohi broke, and his face caved in under the angry force of KuAnLo's blow. KuAnlo then walked away from the twitching body.
IC: Gunner - Magma LoungeGunner snatched the dagger away from Song, twirling it between his fingers with great skill. For a few moments, he remained silent.Then, he threw the blade back to the lightning Toa, raised his chin and said, "What, suddenly I'm not good enough to kill?"The old haughtiness was back in his voice, and he returned to his regal bearing.-Void
IC-Grochi:Suddenly, Grochi appeared behind Gunner. He smacked him upside the head, and sat down. "No, Gunner, we just don't want your pretty face getting hurt," he said sarcastically.
OOC: Sorry for my absence.IC: Kitsune, Ta-KoroA gang-member, a skakdi carrying a gigantic axe, rushed foward to attack Kitsune, who jumped into the air, switching her gravity to the gangster's direction, slamming into his his head with a expertly done flying kick, knocking him out. Jikal, if he noticed this, would be surprised indeed at the kind, quiet toa acting so agressive.
IC: JikalOne of the remaining Skakdi charged him with a broadsword. Jikal grabbed, and snapped, his wrist forcing him to drop the sword. He snapped the being's neck. More merciful to him that way. He threw a dagger, which impaled itself through a Toa's throat.He noted Kitsune's actions, and decided to inquire about them later. He strode toward the gang leader, who had drawn a longsword. "Stay back!" Jikal kept walking. "What the karz are you?" Jikal knocked the longsword out of the Toa's shaking hand with a kick. The Toa knelt down. "Don't hurt me." He whimpered. Jikal punched him across the face. "That is what you did to that Turaga." He drew a dagger. "No...." Jikal looked down on the gang leader without pity. "You will die regardless. This is the more merciful death." And drove the dagger into the gang leader's heartlight.IC: SongSong grinned. "Thank you. I suppose it might be useful for you to know my name." She held out her hand. "Song."
IC: Raknar (Magma Lounge, Ta-Koro)"Raknar," he said. "Cap'n of th' Infernavika. This is m'...top-notch...crew. Grochi and Gunner."-Teezy
IC: Tawara, Ta-KoroTawara nocked a second arrow and aimed it at KuAnLo's chest, but did not fire.OOC: All of the gang members down, none to go.
IC: JikalJikal withdrew his dagger, and turned back to face the group, looking for all the world like a monster out of a Matoran's nightmare. Dagger in hand, eyes and the Mark on his shoulder glowing green, all the while he stood near to the corpses. "Tawara. Lower the bow. We had a deal." He looked at KuAnLo, before turning back to Kitsune and Tawara. "Come on. Let us leave the man alone to his..... Meal."IC: Song"Well then, nice to meet you all." Song returned her dagger to it's sheath. "You have a rather unusual job interview." She smirked.
IC-KuAnLo:KuAnLo smiled when he noticed the arrow aimed at him. "Now, why would you want to do that?" He said, grabbing his three kills and dragging them towards him. "After all, I just helped you."He then rapped his chest, a hollow ringing sound filling the air as his grin got wider. "You can still try, though. I've got top-notch protosteel right here," he growled.
