IC: Dehkaz"Yes, I believe we should," he said, still as calm as ever.The Toa of Magnetism broke into a run to the gate of Ta-Koro.
IC: DekalDekal broke into a sprint as well, matching Dehkaz's speed before his head swiveled to a source of noise coming from behind them, only to see the guardsmen they passed on their way chasing after them, yelling threats, warnings and orders to comply."See you on the other side." he said to Dehkaz, winking before he turned every one of his steps into gigantic leaps thanks to his Faxon, covering distance incredibly much faster than imagined. In no time, his partner was left in the dust and was nothing but a blur, the ship coming into view.
IC: DehkazThe Toa of Magnetism suddenly shot foward, thanks to a magnetic field. He caught up to Dekal in no time at all, the ship coming closer and closer."Did you say something?" he asked the Toa of Sonics.
IC: Dekal"Did I?" he said with a grin before executing one last powerful leap and catching onto the ship's side, climbing his way on board. Scrambling to get up as he fell over the edge, Dekal ran over to the wheel and began to move the ship despite the anchor still in the water."Get the anchor out of the water!"
IC: DehkazHe flicked his wrist, and the anchor shot out of the water and onto the deck. Dehkaz climbed up the side of the ship by magnetising his hand to the metal hull. The Guards had reached the docks by now, and spear flew towards the ship. Dehkaz climbed onboard and said, "Hmm... Now a good time to test out those disk launchers?"
IC: Dekal"By all means, be my guest!" yelled Dekal over the shouts, steering the ships as it began to move with a slow start. A spear flew over his head and landed into the water, earning a sonic blast from Dekal at one of the guardsmen.
IC: DehkazHe ran to one of the mounted launchers, a neat line of disks floating behind him. The bounty hunter fired, taking down one of the guards. He magnetically loaded another disk, and fired again. This one taking down a Toa of Fire, the ball of fire he had been forming dropped and set the docks on fire, creating more chaos.Dehkaz launched another five disks before the ship was finally out range."Well that was interesting."
IC: Dekal"Indeed but lets not come back to Ta-Koro for a while...I don't think they'll forget our faces for a while." he replied, waving a mock goodbye to the guardsmen they had left, only to receive rude gestures in return."So, now that our trip to Ta-Koro's over, do you have any suggestions as to where to?"
IC: Dehkaz"I would normally say Xa-Koro, although, I'm wanted for too many things there," he said.The Toa of Magnetism thought for a moment, "What about Po-Wahi, ever been there?"
IC: Dekal"I've been everywhere, man. In our line of work, travelling and searching for someone all over the island is kind of natural, no?" Dekal asked, the question being rhetorical."Anyways, Po-Wahi it is...I do tell though that I hate the desert at times." The Toa of Sonics veered the ship in Po-Wahi's direction, comfortably settling himself in a chair he grabbed and began humming a warm song.OOC: Dekal to Po-Wahi.
IC: DehkazHe simple nodded. The ship made its way to the Wahi of Stone.OOC: Dehkaz to Po-Wahi
IC: Kitsune & Raion, Ta-KoroKitsune turned her head from Raion to Jikal when he spoke. "Did he agree?"Raion glared back at Jikal, but remained silent when he spoke.OOC: Who else thinks we should move these characters along plot-wise? They've been in this same street for what, two or three days?
OOC: Probably. Real-time, between the fight and the following events, they've been there about a week-week and a half. IC: JikalJikal, just because he could, continued to glare at Jikal. And he started making his eye color flicker. "I don't know if he agreed. I walked off before he could answer. So, he'll either come find his answers, or he won't."
OOC: Jikal continued to glare at Jikal. WAIT WHAT?IC: Kitsune & Raion, Ta-KoroKitsune nodded. "Well, shall we make our way to somewhere safe?"Raion continued to glare as well. When Jikal's eyes flashed, he activated his mask, making himself grow a few feet taller. We can both play this game. He thought as he continued to glare.
IC: Raknar (Infernavika, Ta-Wahi)Raknar stood, staring, off the bow of the ship. Song stood beside him: the other crewmembers were at their positions."So," he asked finally. "I guess I wouldn't have pulled off that op without you. So, uh...thanks."He blushed slightly as he said it: the Skakdi wasn't used to being indebted to people.-Teezy
OOC: Oops. That is one of those "How the karz?" moments.IC: SongSong smirked as she removed her helm, her face once again visible. "My pleasure, Cap'n." Then she winked. "And no, you probably wouldn't have."IC: JikalJikal continued to glare, making one eye green and the other blue. "Alright, sounds like a plan. Any particular location in mind?"
OOC: Grochi from Po-Wahi. Because Tyler already said he was gone.
IC-Grochi:Grochi groaned, stretching his back and melting small bits of shrapnel along there into small scars in his armour. Same thing he did everytime he was caught in a bomb blast-and his armour always ended up pretty much new. He drank a sip of cider, and then headed up to the top deck."Alright, now that we're back here again," Grochi yawned, "What's the plan?" He needed to find Laviha-generally good killers were good medics. At least, they were where he came from.
IC: Raknar (Infernavika, Ta-Wahi)Raknar smirked slightly and absentmindedly brushed some ash off the shoulder of his jacket. For a Skakdi, he wasn't a bad-looking guy. Looked good even by Toa standards. It was something he was used to. Unfortunately, as the captain had long since learned, that didn't mean dealing with the opposite sex for prolonged periods was any easier."Don't rub it in, will ya?" he asked, winking back at her and leaning against the bow. "This is new for me."-Teezy
IC: SongSong smirked again, drew her arm horizontally in front of her and performed a mock bow. "As you command, Cap'n." She drew her dagger and started doing tricks again. It was one of her few habits. She didn't even look at the blade.
IC: Raknar (Infernavika, Ta-Wahi)"And that's another thing," he said with a matching smirk. "Don't call me cap'n. It tends to make people think of themselves as deities, and that kind of thinking gets 'em killed. Just call me Raknar whenever we're on the ship, a'ight?"-Teezy
IC: Song"Alright, Raknar." Song grinned. "I have to say, that op went easier than I expected. There were only two Toa for me to fight, and Gunner took one." She pretended to pout, then grinned again.
IC: Raknar (Infernavika, Ta-Wahi)He grinned and squeezed her shoulder affectionately."Hey, I promise," he said, his grin widening slightly as he sat on the bow and swung his leather-clad legs back and forth, "when we get back to Ta-Koro, the two of us will go out drinking and you can fight all the deadbeats you want."OOC: Some first date...-Teezy
IC: LavihaLaviha strode about the ship and was rather bored with the lack of action going on at the moment. Hopefully that would change or else she would probably leave and steal whatever she could when no one would notice. During her little walk, the Toa of magnetism spotted Grochi, the only being she really took time to converse with out of the entire crew."Oi hunchback! How went the operation? I'm guessing you complained your entire way through it safely?" she said mockingly with a grin on her face.
IC: SongSong grinned. "I like this plan." She paused her dagger tricks and stretched her arms out above her head. "I like me my Salamanders', among other drinks."
IC: Raknar (Infernavika, Ta-Wahi)Raknar laughed slightly."A Toa after my own heart," he quipped with a smirk.-Teezy
IC: Gyren brought a palm to his face as he watched the two go at it. Although, he let out a snicker or two. "Anywhere is fine for me. You'll inevitably cause a fight that ends with several casualties so I'm tagging along."
IC: SongSong grinned again. She elbowed Raknar playfully. "We'll see how well you can hold your alcohol. See if the rumor about Skakdi have a tolerance is true."IC: JikalJikal looked thoughtful. "Well, it'l have to be someplace quiet. I have some explaining to do."
OOC: In-game, a little over nine hours have passed since Jikal, Kitsune, and Tawara arrived at the Lavapool Inn.IC: Tawara, Ta-Koro"Me too. And so do all of you. Not just Jikal. Are there any inns in this city besides the Lavapool? Ones that aren't filled with criminals and bloodthirsty freaks?"
IC: JikalJikal looked thoughtful. "No. But, we could go to Ga-Koro-Ta-Koro border. It a beach there. Not far away, good visibility and it's cooler than this place."
IC: Raknar (Infernavika, Ta-Wahi)"Every rumor has a basis in truth," said the captain, backing away with a laugh from the assault from Song's elbow with a grin. "Especially that one."-Teezy
IC: Tawara, Ta-Koro"Very well, then. Lead the way."
IC: JikalJikal nodded, and started walking toward the border.IC: SongSong grinned. "What to know another rumor with a grain of truth> Well, more of an urban legend." She looked thoughtful for a moment. "You spend much time in Ta-Koro? It won't make much sense if you haven't."
IC: Raknar (Infernavika, Ta-Wahi)"I know my way around," said Raknar, pulling up alongside the docks before turning back to Song with an expectant grin on his face. "Why? What urban legend?"-Teezy
IC: Gunner - InfernavikaGunner laughed, approaching Grochi and Laviha, "Oh yeah, he did stunningly. He actually managed to survive having old Doomie's explosives strapped to him. Honestly, he's only the second person I've seen do that..."-Void
IC: Kitsune & Raion, Ta-KoroKitsune began unsteadily walking after Jikal, but then she found herself being lifted in the air. Raion was lifting her up, his mask activated, making him around 8 feet tall. He was holding her in his arms. Literally."I can just fly there." She said angrily. "Nonsense. You're wounded." He said with a smirk. Kitsune rolled her eyes let him carry her.
IC: SongSong grinned. "Okay, so have you ever heard of the Phantom of the Charred Forest? Well, according to the legend, if you go into a particular part of the Charred Forest, then there is a chance of being attacked by the Phantom. It never leaves permanent physical harm, but it might take possessions, and will inevitably drive you off. You never see it because it moves too fast."Song smirked, she wanted to see if Raknar could make a connection. IC: JikalJikal continued to lead, they were already in the Charred Forest. The beach wasn't too far away.
IC: Raknar (Infernavika, Ta-Koro Docks)Raknar's eyebrows raised as he ran over the story once again in his head, and his mouth hung slightly agape. He began to fidget with the collar of his marching jacket."I love you so much right now," he said with a small grin, finally correcting the collar, which was leaning to the left side.-Teezy
IC: Gyren floated over Tawara as he followed Jikal. "If I was a Matoran, could I be doing this right now Tawara?" Gyren asked as he continued his slow glide.
IC: SongSong grinned. "I live in the Charred Forest. and I get bored." She smirked. "And they were noisy when I was trying to sleep. The noisy ones were divested of all but their lives."IC: Jikal"Wait, Tawara thinks we are Matoran?" Jikal laughed. Unknown to him, he probably best fit the stories Tawara had heard. Or at least Iris did. And she had met Iris, not knowing who he was. "I don't know about you guys, but I'm a Toa."
IC: Kitsune & Raion, Ta-KoroKitsune laughed at Jikal's joke. Raion, to prove the point of all the others, concentrated, and caused the earth around them to shoot up in pillars, and then sink back into the ground. After a few seconds of that, he stopped.OOC: Filler post is filler.
