IC: Shadowy VortixxThe Vortixx stopped leaning on the table and walked slowly behind Ferron, in search of any hidden weapons. He spotted the spike in the Toa's hands and frowned. "Because if you don't, I'll nail your hands to the table with that metal peg of yours," said the Vortixx. "And then maybe I can try this thing out on you," he pulled back his sleeve, revealing a wrist-mounted device of some kind. Of more interest, however, was a tattoo of a snake coiling round a sword on the other side of his wrist. Both items were quickly covered up by his sleeve. "I'm not entirely sure what it does, but aren't we going to have a great time finding out?"
IC: FerronFerron made the metal peg vanish with a thought, and couldn't help but smile."Unless you're really desparate to know his name, I can't help you, on those two topics I'm just as much in the dark as you are" he gloated "as for my name. Ferron, Toa of Iron, so go ahead and try that fancy gun on me, I'm in the mood for breaking something right now"
IC: Hajia, Onu-Koro"If I wasn't hospitalized, I'd recommend we go at once." Hajia said with a sigh, scooting closer to Gravity as she spoke. "So, when the doctor says it's okay to leave, what do you want to do?"IC: GravityI shrugged. "Don't know, probably somewhere in Le-Wahi. You know, jungle and all," I replied, going over the memory again. "Yeah, it was Le-Wahi, I'm sure."
IC: Gravity"Well, I suppose it depends on how you're feeling," I said to the Ga-Toa, wrapping an arm around her. "I mean, if you don't feel like going off stomping through a jungle, then I'd say we should head back to Ga-Koro. Sound good?"I didn't really care where we were going after this, as long as it was with Hajia and preferably as far away from Onyx's catacombs as possible.IC: Hajia, Onu-Koro"If I wasn't hospitalized, I'd recommend we go at once." Hajia said with a sigh, scooting closer to Gravity as she spoke. "So, when the doctor says it's okay to leave, what do you want to do?"
IC: Caige (Smoothie Shop, Onu-Koro)Caige snapped his fingers.-Teezy
IC: Chromia (Smoothie Shop, Onu-Koro)"What?"
IC: [Arkrak]"I see."
IC: Incommodo (Onu-Koro)"You first," the Toa of Magnetism said, gesturing at The Unfortunate Fikou's entrance.
IC: [Arkrak]Arkrak entered.
IC: Commodum (The Unfortunate Fikou, Onu-Koro)Commodum looked up at Arkrak, still crying.
IC: [Arkrak]"I, uh, am sorry."
IC: Commodum (The Unfortunate Fikou, Onu-Koro)Commodum looked sceptically at Arkrak. "Sorry? You're sorry? You jumped out of a bloody window, shouted at me, and then slept in a backyard, because you didn't want to be near me, and now you're telling me that you're sorry?"
IC: [Arkrak]Arkrak sighed. "I'm really, really sorry. It's just that ... well, you're going too quickly ... and I don't know what do in this situation."
IC: Commodum (The Unfortunate Fikou, Onu-Koro)"I wasn't going too quickly! You told me that I was trying to go too quickly earlier, and we made a deal, and then the moment we were both in the room you jumped out the window!"
IC: [Arkrak]"I ... see?"Curses, I can't do the same thing as Atonal. Why can he do the aloof 'I see' while I cannot?!
IC: Commodum (The Unfortunate Fikou, Onu-Koro)Commodum tilted her head. "That's it? You're not arguing with me? You're just... listening to my point of view?"
IC: [Arkrak]"I'm listening to my brother's advice."
IC: Commodum (The Unfortunate Fikou, Onu-Koro)"What advice?"
IC: [Arkrak]"How to keep girls happy."
IC: Commodum (The Unfortunate Fikou, Onu-Koro)..."So you're following it now, rather than earlier?"
IC: Hajia, Onu-Koro"Great." Hajia replied, leaning against Gravity. "The sound of the waves and the feel of sand under your feet... Ga-Koro sounds wonderful."IC: Gravity"Well, I suppose it depends on how you're feeling," I said to the Ga-Toa, wrapping an arm around her. "I mean, if you don't feel like going off stomping through a jungle, then I'd say we should head back to Ga-Koro. Sound good?"I didn't really care where we were going after this, as long as it was with Hajia and preferably as far away from Onyx's catacombs as possible.
OOC: Dude, when did she get the Kaulsi? D:IC: Gravity [Onu-Koro]"Have you ever considered," I said to the Ga-Toa, glancing at her with a small grin on my Kanohi, "being a poet...?"IC: Hajia, Ga-Koro"Great." Hajia replied, leaning against Gravity. "The sound of the waves and the feel of sand under your feet... Ga-Koro sounds wonderful."
IC: Arkrak"I'm not good at this stuff."
IC: Commodum (The Unfortunate Fikou, Onu-Koro)Commodum frowned, then ran over to Arkrak and hugged him. "I forgive you."
IC: [Arkrak]"Thanks."
IC: Commodum (The Unfortunate Fikou, Onu-Koro)Commodum pulled back, and then scratched the back of her head. "So, you're going off to find those people, Nekron and Hiker Jack, now?"
IC: Sythrih"Ha," the Toa of Earth said, ajusting Agate so that her sleeping sister wouldn't fall over, "Adventuring is the last thing I wanted. Its why we came home to Onu-Koro."What a great idea that was, Sythrih thought sarcasticly to herself.
IC: [Arkrak]"Yes."
IC: Commodum (The Unfortunate Fikou, Onu-Koro)Commodum bit her lip slightly. "Be careful."
IC: Agate - Hospital, Onu-koro -Agate twitched a bit in her sleep, probably because of the parakuka. Her new rahi like ears flicked a bit as she muttered something about donuts.
IC: [Arkrak]"I'll be fine. Let's go Inc."
IC: Incommodo (Onu-Koro)"OKAY!" Incommodo shouted from outside.
IC (Merror)Merror sprinted after Skyra."Skyra, what do you see?" he called.
IC: Skyra - Tunnel entrance, Onu-Wahi -I wanted to be smart and say I saw a dark tunnel, but now was not the time to be cheeky. "There are several beings up ahead...judging by the breathing they're talking intently about something..."
IC: Pirok (Onu-Koro Tunnel)"How much further?" Pirok asked.
IC: Skyra - Tunnel entrance, Onu-Wahi -"Can't be far now..." I said in a hushed tone, slowing down a bit. "If we're quiet enough we can eavesdrop on them from here..."
IC (Merror)Merror nodded, activating his Calix. With his motor control enhanced by the mask, he was able to move with complete silence.They neared the beings. Merror gestured for his teammates to stay back, as he crept forwards to try to catch what they were saying...
IC: The Shadow (Onu-Koro, just outside the tunnel)"I worry that I may have been followed." The messenger warned. "You may be in some danger.""Go, now." The Shadow hissed. "You've said that enough times, and I'm getting bored, so you can either burst into song or get the Karz out. Understand?"The Toa nodded, and then backed away, heading towards the centre of Onu-Koro.
IC (Merror)Merror's eyes narrowed. He knew that voice. It was The Shadow.He jerked his head back to his teammates.It's him, he mouthed.For now, Merror was unsure what to do. Should he confront The Shadow directly, or track him to find out what he was up to?
IC: The Shadow (Onu-Koro, just outside the tunnel)The Shadow turned, looking at the tunnel's opening. He stared at it for a short while, then turned back again, and began walking away. He had things to take care of.
