[iC: Rannin]"Do you believe that you can ever use your powers?"
IC
(Amalod [Talking to Rannin: Ko-Koro Inn])
"It will take some time, but I will learn eventually," Amalod replies. "I met someone who is teaching me when Naona left her teachings."-Mef Man
OOC: Naona? I thought it was Naara.[iC: Rannin]"I see. Do you know any other Water Toa nearby?"
OOC: Oops... ![]()
IC(Amalod [Talking to Rannin: Ko-Koro Inn])
"No, but if you find a Toa of Ice, I know a few Toa of Fire," she explains.-Mef Man
IC: Riversong (in the Ice Howl Inn)Riversong grimaced as someone shouted something downstairs. Pulling her head out from under the pillow, she slowly arose from the bed, stretching her slightly cramped muscles. If I can't sleep, Riversong reasoned, then I might as well get up. It's almost morning, isn't it?The Toa of Water made her way down to the ground floor of the inn, blearily taking a seat at a nearby table.
IC(Amalod [Talking to Riversong: Ko-Koro Inn])
Amalod turns to look at Riversong, an ashamed look washing over Amalod's face."Oh, did we wake you? I'm so sorry."-Mef Man
[iC: Rannin]"Oh hello there. You look like a Water Toa. We need one to help us with making an obstacle course."
IC: Riversong (in the Ice Howl Inn)"It's fine, I probably would've gotten up soon anyway," Riversong said to Amalod. Looking over at the Toa she wasn't familiar with, she replied, "Why exactly do you need my help?"
I[iC: Rannin]"A miniature lake. Obstacle course."
IC: Riversong (in the Ice Howl Inn)"I see," she said. Turning back to Amalod, Riversong asked, "Do you know these people?" Sleepy or not, she wasn't about to go wandering off with a pair of strange beings.
IC(Amalod [Talking to Riversong: Ko-Koro Inn])
"They're from the academy," explains Amalod. "They're friends."-Mef Man
IC: Riversong (in the Ice Howl Inn)"Ah, okay," Riversong replied. "How far away is this obstacle course?" she inquired of the strange Toa.
[iC: Rannin]"Not far. We just need to dig a hole and fill it up."
IC: Bruntoa - Ice Howl Inn, Ko-koro -"Yeah, we already created the hole...it just needs water."
[iC: Rannin]"What he said."
IC: Riversong (in the Ice Howl Inn)She considered it for a moment; there wasn't really any reason not to do it, so Riversong nodded and said, "Then let's go, before everyone else wakes up."
IC: Bruntoa - Ice Howl Inn, Ko-koro -"Alright then, follow me." Bruntoa led the way outside and back toward the school.
IC: Kotok"Excellent. Follow me." he said, as he began walking in the direction of Po-Wahi.OOC: Kotok to Po-Wahi.IC (Desilix):If I succeed, this day will be legendary"I wish to join"
IC: Jasik (Ko-Koro)"Yes," he replied, nodding his head in greeting. "Jasik. You must be Paka."-Teezy
Ic: Stannis rushed to catch up with the others. He was already quite a bit behind to start with, but the stranger had held him back for enough time to add 50% to the distance. And night was coming. He had to hurry up. Thankfully, his elemental gift parted the snows like the Red Sea and he ran with little difficulty on hard ice and stone ground, and his Companions had spent some time talking to themselves about the stranger, too, narrowing the gap. But the shadows continued to grow longer and the dusk grew colder.Characteristic to himself, he said nothing as he came closer to his friends, leaving everyone wondering what was happening. Finally, he stopped and said simply, "We can't make it to the village in time. We have to camp here."
IC: Aurel:The Toa of Fire had cursed several times as she tried to explore the mountain for any place the "Shadow Hapaka" might be holding their prisoners. When she stopped on a large cliff, she froze. There was a path, easily scale-able, and the ledge itself was enough for several Toa to walk together. She followed the ledge along to a rock wall, oddly curved in some places. She reached out to touch the wall, to see if there was an illusion, not noticing the fake snow-storm had stopped. As she reached out to touch the wall...IC: Sideways:A hand, black and orange lept out and grabbed her wrist. The magnetic field was deactivated for just a second to pull Aurel into the cave. Sideways had pulled her wrist behind her back, and had placed his other hand over her mouth."Hello again," Rook said plainly, "I'm sure you remember us from Ko-Koro, Quoribay! Get some rope to bind her."Aurel's eyes simply widened, not suspecting her short-termed captors in Ko-Koro would be the Shadow Hapaka.
IC, Aurax: Aurax nodded. He made eye contact with Stannis, to say that he knew something was up. "Alright, who has the tents and the gear?" he asked the others in the group.
[iC: Rannin]"Back to the academy we go."
IC (Desilix):He hoped to Mata Nui this plan would work, and followed Kotok to Po-Wahi.OOC: Desilix to Po-Wahi
IC(Amalod [Sleeping: Ko-Koro, Inn, Amalod's room])
Amalod was soon back in her room; ready to go to bed. It had been a crazy and hectic day, but she wouldn't had wanted to change it at all.The Toa of Water was soon undressed and in bed.-Mef Man
IC: Riversong (leaving the Ice Howl Inn with Rannin and Bruntoa)Riversong followed them without any further discussion, hoping that this little endeavor wouldn't take very long.
[iC: Rannin]"So tell me about yourself," said Rannin, hoping to strike up a conversation.
IC: The smug look that passed between Aurax and Stannis was not lost on Lekua, but he knew a confrontation now would get him nowhere. "Right here," he replied, his voice shaking slightly as he fought to contain the anger building rapidly within him.
IC: Esao (Ice Howl Inn, Ko-Koro)Suddenly, a knock on Amalod's door."Ama? It's Esao. Listen, I kind of need to talk to you about something if it's--gah!" Esao cried, having halfway opened the door. "I'll come back later sorry bye!"Esao turned on his heel and began to sprint away so fast that his legs turned into those little unicycle looking things that people see in the cartoons, you know, when the monsters are chasing after the Scooby Gang and they have to make a break for it?-Teezy
IC(Amalod [Waking up: Ko-Koro Inn])
"What the-" Amalod sits up in her bed; eyes halfway opened. She could swore that she had heard Esao at her door.Must have been dreaming.The Toa of Water shrugs before lying back down in her bed; going back to sleep.-Mef Man
IC: Esao (Ice Howl Inn, Ko-Koro)SWEET GALI MOTHER OF GOD, SHE WAS TAKING OFF HER SKINPoor Esao barreled right through his door, shattering it in a burst of wood as he ducked underneath the bed and lit up his arrows, waiting for it to return. As it turns out, our hapless young hero had never seen a female in anything less than full clothing, so, naturally, he assumed that when he'd seen Amalod unclothed, she was some sort of demon from the underworld who had eaten the poor, defenseless stargazer and worn her skin as a coat.FOR THE GOOD OF SOCIETY, CREATURE...YOU DIE-Teezy
IC: NovaNighttimeBedroom, Ice Howl InnCRASH!Nova jolted upright in bed, half-expecting an attack. His room was empty; the noise had come from outside. Carefully, oh-so-cautiously, he tiptoed to his door and eased it open just enough to see through the crack between door and doorframe.Down the hallway, Esao's door had been replaced by piles of splinters."Oh, no..."
IC(Amalod [Talking to Esao: Ko-Koro Inn])
"What was that.." Amalod asks no one in particular as she stands up; sliding on a simple bra that was in her bag. The still not quite awake Toa of Water walks down the hall and toward the source of the noise in nothing more than her underwear; eyes halfway open. Seeing a few splinters of wood where Esao's door was, Amalod's eyes snap open and she rushes in."Esao!"-Mef Man
IC: Esao (Ice Howl Inn, Ko-Koro)"Ama...?" Esao asked tentatively, lowering his bow and lifting a pillow so he didn't look at the Toa in her half-dressed state. "Is that you or is that a demon from the depths of the underworld?"-Teezy
IC: KrayzikkKrayzikk started laughing. "She wasn't in full clothes. Was she, Esao?"What he wasn't saying was that he did much the same once.
IC: NovaNighttimeBedroom, Ice Howl InnDown the hallway, Room 13, another door opened. Amalod's head emerged, turned in the direction of Esao's now-empty doorway, and jolted. Her door was now flung open, and the rest of her body joined her head in the hallway--LOOK AWAY.Nova slammed his door shut and pressed his back against it, breathing hard as a drop of sweat rolled down his brow. Voices wafted down the hallway, but Nova resolved not to open his door again. He was too busy trying to get the image of Amalod's bed-clothes out of his mind.
IC(Amalod [Talking to Esao: Ko-Koro Inn])
"It's me, Esao," Amalod replies; eyes still not completely open. "You...okay?"-Mef Man
IC: Esao (Ice Howl Inn, Ko-Koro)"Cl--clothes? Oh, thank God," said Esao, grinning and standing up. "My bad, Amalove, I thought that you were eaten by a demon from the depths of the underworld. Man, I can't believe I did this again, that's really embarrassing..."-Teezy
IC(Amalod [Talking to Esao: Ko-Koro Inn])
"Why did you think that?" Amalod asks, still a bit confused.-Mef Man
IC: KrayzikkKrayzokk couldn't stop laughing,behind Esao.
