OOC: Didn't he state his name?IC: Optimus nodded. Then he looked to admire Naho Falls. "What...?" Blackout, twin to an enemy he had once killed, hung dead. "Someone...clean that up." He left, staying on guard for any enemies. OOC: That went well. It seems Optimus is the only character I have capable of peacemaking.
OOC: Rename him man. Because then he's basically just Optimus Prime as a Toa, instead of his own unique character.IC: [Treize]"So, Toranmat, let's escort these two back."
IC: VelanThe Toa of Water face-palmed, still invisible on the roof."You have got to be kidding me."IC: ThrakThe Toa of Plantlife still said nothing, but the thorn did pull out of her shoulder.Eventually, they made it to the room, and Thrak pushed Drini inside. He chained her arms and legs to the wall, and then walked out. All without a word.
IC: Drini"Ninety-nine bottles of beer on the wall, niety-nine bottles of beer.... Take on down, pass it around... Ninety-eight bottles of beer on the wall..."
OOC:I saw the edit BTW, it just takes a while for me to post as Eleven.
Especially when my really long first person posts are deleted by BZPower.
IC:ElevenI looked up, to see Thirty Six pushed inside our room, and locked into the wall. She looked pitiful, she was usually skinny, but ever since she had been enslaved she was getting skinnier and skinnier. Then she started singing a strange song. I looked at her strangely. "You okay Thirty Six?"Before the poor girl could answer me, another slaver entered the room, carrying a large stick, with a crude piece of metal on the end. Not saying a word, he attached the stick to Drini, making it so that her head had to be held up, or it would touch the stick.
IC: DriniDrini bit the slavers hand. He yelped, and slapped her, before leaving. She looked at Eleven. "Well, I just vishitd the Chair. Ya ever been there?"
IC:ElevenI looked at her, shocked. "No! Of course not!" She seemed to be taking visiting the chair calmly. "You do realize that once you visit the chair once, you visit it until you break?" I asked Drini. "How can you be taking it so calmly!?"
OOC: Shade from Le-Wahi.IC: Shade entered Le-Wahi, shocked by the amount of people in the koro now. He was now bleeding profusely from the wound Madrihk had given him, yet he managed to stay standing and coherent, a mask of hatred and madness on his face. He headed towards the square, looking for a medical station...OOC: Biobeast, just do your kidnapping thing. I'll let you bunny me for that part.-Bane
IC: DriniDrini actually laughed. "Becaushe they can't use the chair on me much. Because it can momentarily break the drug'sh hold."She grinned. "I had my powersh. Jusht for a shecond, I had them."
IC:Eleven"Really?" I asked, almost slapping her across the face in my anger. "AND YOU DIDN'T USE IT TO BREAK THE BOAT?!" Of course, the only Toa of Water on the ship, and it was an incompetent one.Bhuta"Hold up Navigator!" Bhuta called, waiting as the ship slowed to a stop. "There be a potential slave over there." He turned to Thrak. "You wanna get 'em, or shall I?"OOC:Just one sec Bane.
IC: Drini"Don't patronize me!" Drini snapped angrily. "You know as well ash I do they shuppresh my mind too! I only had a shecond, and only the shimplesht abilitiesh for ushe."
OOC: Bio, I'm going to give you a little fight. I'm already weak and wounded though, it won't be too hardIC: Shad looked around. It was obvious that something had happened here. People were glancing at each other, gazing with suspicion at other's eyes. One thing mainly caught his attention, though: they were all looking in fear at one ship in the harbor. Shade wondered at this, but quickened his pace as best he could.-Bane
OOC: *raises hand*Mememememmeme!Pick me.
IC: ThrakThe Toa of Plantlife looked over to Shade, not moving his head, just his eyes. "I shall go," he stated, and walked over to the shore. A wodden bridge provided the means for him to walk across the water, and he absorbed the used material back into himself once he reached the shore."Excuse me there," he said, speaking to the wounded Shade, "Would like some help?"
IC: "Thanks," Shade said, putting his weight against the toa, while suspiciously looking him over. The toa seemed to be average, with nothing suspicious or mysterious about him, yet there was an aura of evil surrounding him not unlike his own. "Who are you?" he asked, shifting his weight so that he could fight if needed.OOC: Feel free to come up with a corny line like, "Your doom"
-Bane
IC: Thrak"The last person you'll meet as a free man," Thrak replied.Before Shade could comprehend what that meant, thick vines burst forth from the Toa of PLantlife's hands and back. Each of the many vines were covered in startlingly red thorns, and a greenish fluid dripped from them.But Shade wouldn't notice those, namely because the Toa of Sonics would be too focused on the fact that they surrounded him, both cutting off his field of view and threating to trap him completely.
IC: Rynekk - FerryRynekk, heeding Tadris' suggestion, began forming a heavy stone seal over top the the cylinder of rock."Alright, let's see how long that lasts," he said, making a vain attempt at a joke.-Void
OOC: Corny lines, away! :PIC: Shade struggled weakly against the vines holding him. Fortunately, his powers were fully charged from the battle he had just fought. He screamed with all his might, shattering every window for miles around him. He threw daggers wildly, but there were too many vines. He collapsed as the vines encurled him, poking and probing with their spines. The last thing he saw was a smiling toa of plantlife.-Bane
OOC: He was Optimus Prime with a different name before. Decided to make his codename fit. (At least I didn't pull an Alucard and make his name Avuhat, right?)IC: Optimus looked up. "Is there a problem, er..." He thought a bit. "What was your name again?" Toranmat tied their hands together and took them. "Come on, inmates!""Oh shut up!"Ratchet whispered. "Barricade, we should leave this area now.""That's not what Tahuva would want.""Who?" Ratchet winked."Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight."
IC: DriniDrini was quiet a moment. "Eleven, what's your name?" The question would no doubt come as a surprise, neither of them had ever bothered to ask for each other's name.
IC:ElevenI was taken aback. Nobody had ever asked my name. I opened my mouth to answer, hoping that this meant that Thirty Six was gonna actually start trusting me. She wasn't a very trusting person, but when you only get to talk to one or two people for days on end, you'd think that you'd form a bond with the person. "My name is..." I stopped. "My name is..." I wasn't sure why I was stopping, but for some reason, I couldn't say my name. I mean, what was wrong with me? I knew my name, why couldn't I say it? My name is... I thought, desperately hoping that if I thought about my answer, my mouth could then say it. Then it hit me. I didn't know my name. I had been on this ship for who knows how long, and I had forgotten my name. My identity. My very being. And I had forgotten, and replaced it with 'Eleven.' "I... Don't know..."Bhuta"Good job Thrak. Let's get this one aboard the ship." Bhuta said, walking towards Thrak with a sneer on his face. "He put up less of a fight than I thought he would."
IC: DriniDrini tried to nod, but the stick kept her from doing so. "I'm shorry." She paused. "You've wondered why I fight back. You've never asked, but I know you've wondered. That ish why. They take sho much from ush, leaving ush jusht a shell."
IC: ThrakThe Toa of Plantlife nodded, and thicker, stronger vines burst forth from his body; picking up the wrapped Shade. Thrak then carried him aboard the ship.He didn't worry that much about the Toa of Sonics escaping, as the posion in the spikes should knock him out for a while.
IC: Tadris"Yeah, let's just hope that box thing will hold it long enough for- WOAH!"Everyone aboard the ferry was thrown to the ground as the boat was launched forward by the Water Toa, shooting towards land. Specifically, Po-Wahi...OOC: Tadris (with Rynekk and a boatload of NPCs) to Po-Wahi http://www.bzpower.com/board/public/style_emoticons/default/cool.png
IC: Shade awoke to the sound of groaning. He wondered groggily why he had gotten knocked out when he was clearly winning the battle. Then it finally came to him. He hadn't won. He had been knocked out by the thorns on the plants. He got up with a start, wondering where he was. He was in a room, about 5 bio long, filled with other prisoners. They were mostly silent, only making a sound when they groaned, tossing and turning in their painful sleep. Two toa were talking in the corner, a Ga-toa and another. One seemed to be drugged. He took a few steps forward, and wobbled as he stepped. The combination of the poison used to knock him out and his injury must have made him weak. He turned, looking around, willing himself to be transported. For an unknown reason, it did not work. He was either too weak or drugged himself. He vowed vengeance on whomever had imprisoned him, willing himself to never, never stop fighting until he had his revenge. Walking over to the other toa (the ones talking) he asked, "What iss this place?"OOC: I'm guessing Shade is drugged?-Bane
IC: DriniDrini glanced over at Shade. "Oh look, a newbie. How ya doin', Zero?" Drini asked, using the shipboard slang for a new arrival. Until their level of obedience was determined, all slaves were called Zeroes. Low-number slaves were vaery obedient, whereas high-numbers like Drini were rebellious. As a rule, low-numbers were treated better.
OOC:Krayzikk, there is a male room, and a female room. Shade isn't in the same room as Drini and Elven.
IC:ElevenI thought back. "They only do so if you resist." I muttered. "If you are a good little girl, they leave you alone."Bhuta"Enjoy your time in there Zero." Bhuta said, sneering at the new prisoner. "You won't be getting out for a long time."
OOC: So am I drugged. BTW, sorry guys
Guess I should have checked that first.IC: "Not asss long as you dink," Shade replied, gritting his teeth in annoyance. "You aren't one of the first I've killed, and you're certainly not going to be the last." He walked up to the bars of his prison, and glared at his captor. "You are nothing to me. Give me a fair fight, and I can kill you unarmed." he turned around, and walked to the back of the cell.-Bane
OOC: Hahaha. I fail. Ignore that.IC: DriniDrini eyed Eleven for a moment. "I shuppose I should tell you who I am." She smiled, a faint, barely present smile. "I'm Drini. Once, I was a hero."She paused. "You resisted, didn't you?"
OOC:Oh yeah... Yes, you are drugged. Shade's feet are also chained to the wall, and his mask is missing. And there are no bars of the prison. It's just a room, filled with enslaved people, all chained to the wall.@KrayzikkYeah, it would be stupid to leave the females in with the males. Bad things would happen.IC:Bhuta"You know, they all say that, but nothing ever comes of it." Bhuta said, pulling out his whip and cracking it near Shade's head. "I think I know what to call you know. From here on, you shall be referred to as Thirty Seven. Be a good little boy, and I might lower your number, and give you a better place to live."ElevenI lowered my head. "I... Don't want to talk about it."
OOC: Yeeeah....IC: DriniDrini nodded, or rather, tried to. "I understand. I bear my punishments as badges of honor, but most don't."She smiled slightly. "I can't stop fighting, though. Like I said, once I was a hero. And I can never let go of my desire to fight back. It's all I've got left."
OOC: Okay, just making random guesses. I'm not in your mind's eye, so I'm making assumptions.IC: "Don't count on it," Shade sneered. He caught the slaver's whip as it came around for another crack. He caught it by the end, yanking it to bring the slaver forward. He did not punch him, but brought his face very close to Shade's. "I'll never stop fighting you. You may think so, but happiness never lasts. Count on that."-Bane
OOC:'S Fine, although Shade will regret what he just did.
IC:ElevenI closed my eyes, and lay on the ground. "Whatever." I mumbled, not really wanting to talk to Drini anymore.BhutaAlthough, Shade did catch the whip, he instantly regretted it. Lightning coursed up his spine, shocking his body harshly. "I take it back. You are now number forty. You get to feel that electricity shock again and again, every day, for the rest of your life aboard this ship." Shade was still being shocked. He had two choices, let go of the whip, and stop being shocked, or continue holding on and suffer the consequences.
IC: Drini"Hey... Eleven? I really hate to ask, but you're one of the lower numbers. Could you try to get them to give me my mask back? I can feel the weakness setting in..."
IC: He let go. Shade's body was already weak, and the exertion and the electricity finally did it. When he did, blackness rushed in. He fell, crashing to the deck with a thud.OOC: I'll probably let this go on for a month or two, then have someone break me out.-Bane
OOC:@BaneOut of Game I assume.IC:ElevenI sighed, then turned to Drini. "Sorry Drini, but only a single digit has those privileges. You know that."
IC: Drini"Eh, worth a shot."
IC: Shade woke up to the sound of moving chains. the other prisoners were waking, and he rose as well. He was suprised, as his wound had already mostly healed. He tried to use his element, to create a base note that would shake his chains to oblivion. For some reason, though, they would not work. His mind was clouded, and he could not even shake his chains. "What happens now," he said, mostly to himself.OOC: Can you figure out a way to interact with me in my cell, Biobeast?-Bane
IC-Briuis:"Why, anything you want, of course," Edubard a Briuis said, a smile upon his face. "Hullo number forty, I will be your tour guide for this day." Briuis let out a loud chuckle, before finishing off the biscuit he'd been given."First, this is the male room." Edubard nodded across the way. "Seperated from us is the female room. Bhuta doesn't like having too many slaves, you realize," Edubard whispered over to Shade, laughing again."Over north of us is the captain's quarters, below us, the store rooms, and we're on the south part of the ship." He then dropped his smile, putting on a serious expression."The Tour is now over, thank you very much. Now where's my bloody tip?" Briuis chuckled for the third time, a bright smile upon his face. He was rather fond of that expression, it seemed.
IC: "I'mb not in the mood for jobes." Shade growled. "I'mb a trained assassin, not thumb slabe. Now how bo we get outba here?" He paced as far as possibly could, then turned around. "Oh, by the way, what's your bumber, since we don't have names, apparently."-Bane
IC-Edubard:"We don't have names?" Edubard said mockingly, laughing again. "Oh, that's a nice one right there, it is. Technically," Edubard said, then put on his best Bhuta impression, "I'm number 23." He relaxed back into himself. "But my real name is Edubard a Briuis, kind sir, at your service," he said, bowing low to the Toa in front of him. Then he came back up."Trained assassin. I like that one. Everybody here was a mercenary or hero of some sort, yet they still got themselves captured!" His smile was brighter than ever. "But they haven't captured me, oh no, in fact, it is I who has captured them!" Edubard a Briuis then crouched low, turning around. He waved Shade over to him."Don't let them know, though," he whispered into the other Toa's ear. "They're still under the impression that they're in charge. It's a part of my cover." He then grabbed number forty by the arm, tossing him up into the air as Edubard jumped his way back up."And just remember-no matter what happens, nothing is worse than being dipped into confectionary products and then being licked all over by a large Muaka," Edubard said profoundly. The Toa of Air shuddered at that 'memory,' even though it had never really happened."Although, that's enough about me. Please, forty, tell me about yourself!"
