Corpus Rahkshi

IC: Raptor

Raptor started pulling Rider and Revenge along towards the causeway.

"This is kinda awkward, but I'm sure it'll be well worth it."

IC: Zex

If I could. I would laugh.

I manage out:

"I left the group of 'idiots' at the door. I later came back to see it open"

Whatever was ledt of my jaw ached with every wors.

IC: Pyre

"And how, may I ask, would he have known there was a fight inside an who was involved? We thought some selfish karzhead might have been playing a prank with the info we had."

"If you hurt him for that you are no more if a monster than him."

Then I smiled.

"He only did one murder. I was there."

"The silence rahkshi jumped on the milecualr disruption's ones head. That was before it left the gym and died."

IC: Illusive - Gym.

I gave the idiot a blank look. He did remember I was mute, right? 

Smiling coldly, I turned to Tridax. I pointed at the note in his hand - the one Exxan had given him - then pointed back to Caoutchouc. My intent was clear: He is the one who wrote the notes. 

IC: Mantis

Mantis saw Illusive's motions. Under different circumstances, he would've turned against Caoutchouc. But now... he found himself agreeing with the posted notes. His respect for Caouthouc raised significantly. And that was saying something.

IC: Revenge-Hallway

Revenge sighed and followed.

IC - What?!

...

"What?!"

IC: Mantis

Mantis nearly frowned. And here he had thought Cao was one of the most honorable students in the school... lying was purely unacceptable.

IC: Xara - Hallways.

Nodding once more to Palma, I walked out of the infirmary and took to wandering the halls, unsure of what to do next.

____________________________________________________________________________

IC: Illusive - Gym.

I stepped forwards, holding out my hand, gesturing for him to give Serpent-Fang back. 

IC Mahrika

Library -> Corridors

Open for Interaction

His hands were ink-splattered and cramped, and his eyes were fatigued, but he was done. Several pages of fine, barely-legible text lay before him, plus four identical sheets written in large letters with his best handwriting.

Too tired to put away the library books, Mahrika simply gathered up his writings and walked out. He wished he could return to his dormitory, but he wasn't quite done yet. He made his first stop outside the gymnasium, his second outside the infirmary, and his third in the dormitory wing. In each place he left one of his four identical flyers on the wall. They read:

INTERESTED IN

JUSTICE?

SAFETY?

LEADERSHIP?

COME TO THE FIRST MEETING

OF THE STUDENT COUNCIL

MIDNIGHT OF THE 4TH

IN THE MAIN COURTYARD

ALL STUDENTS WELCOME

Mahrika planned to put the last flyer in the refectory. He pinned it on the wall by the door, then noticed the two Rahkshi he least expected to get along sitting together at a nearby table. Shocked and confused, he stumbled over to them.

"Exxan? Fang?" Despite their distinctive coloration, he could hardly believe it was them.

OOC: Since nobody knows how Matoran measure days, "The 4th" is intended to be in 2 days IC time.

IC: Exxan - Refectory. 

"Oh... hey Mahrika..." this was going to be difficult. Mahrika and I hadn't spoken since Wreck the Halls. I knew he'd probably hate me for what happened to Omega... just like Fang had. "Long time no see...."

IC Kat:

Aha! The sneaky one shows himself!

I did my impersonation of him from before, "Hey."

IC: Rail - Gym

"Consider it as a Rahkshi's request for an extra precaution, then," Rail responded to the Headmaster. "I would like to know for a fact that he has no means of escape if another student decides to pay him a visit in the future."

He turned back towards the other two, glaring daggers once more.

"It doesn't matter. You were a part of the group who forced your way inside, and two Rahkshi are now dead. Because of you," he said before turning his attention towards the one still standing. "And the fact that you're now blaming one of the deaths on the other victim makes you look like even more of a moron. I find it low that you're pinning the deed on someone who can't defend himself, and think it awfully convenient that you didn't mention it before the sentence was carried out, so I suggest that you shut your lying mouth before I come over there and remove your tongue."

IC: Fang - Refectory

Fang grinned at Kat's impression, but tried to hide it behind a cough into his hand. "Mahrika," he greeted with a nod.

IC: Hoto - Empty Dorm Wing

"We could go there..." Hoto replied. "Oh, what about Grossh? He said we could ask him for a favor."

IC Mahrika

Refectory

"Well. Uh, hello." Feeling as if he had arrived late to a sacred ritual, Mahrika sat at the table beside Fang, Catatonic and Exxan. "If I can be completely direct here... Didn't you two hate each other?"

IC: Exxan - Refectory.

"That's a long story...." I said evasively, still waiting for the inevitable accusation of "murderer!"

____________________________________________________________________________________

IC: Era - Empty Dormitory Wing. 

"Oh yeah...." I pulled out the token he'd given me. "He gave me this." 

IC: Pyre

"Lying mouth?"

"Unless you were watching. I think I know what I saw."

"I'm pretty sure if you look at the head of the dead rahkshi you will see feet marks on the head. And those feet marks will fit perfectly with the silence rahkshi's feet."

"Also. How is it our fault that two rahkshi are dead if we were trying to get into the gym. Please elaborate on how this unrelated matter is related to this."

"And I'm sure this Illusion rahkshi saw."

Then I smiled.

"But he might as well lie to hide his teamate's mistakes."

I activated my plasma coating as a precaution. This idiot clearly saw nothing of the battle.

IC: Illusive - Gym.

You went too far.... I snatched Serpent-Fang back and stabbed up at Pyre. No one spoke about my brother like that!

IC: Squid

Squid decided he'd go visit the Refectory to chat with others. He had plenty of good food, so he wouldn't be eating. Outside the Refectory, he saw a flyer and read it. He forgot about chatting and dashed away to the courtyard. He would wait there until the event... as he didn't read the part with the date.

OOC: Unless I am mistaken Illusive was in the crowd and Pyre was on the stage. So It would take time for Illusive to get up there and hit him from behind.

OOC: Forgot to respond to Vaalku. Sorry.

IC: Bullseye/1st Person/Halls

"I guess so... AH, yes! I'm doing great. Need a hand?"

OOC: It looks more like you need a leg, though.

IC: Revenge-Causeway

Once they got out to the causeway Revenge turned to Raptor. "So, how are we going to do this without pulling Rider's arms off?"

OOC: VERY FUNNY, smartypants.

IC Vaalku

Vaalku looked down at his arm.

This is what he got from being at Corpus. Destroyed. And if Xara or Rubberahk come back 'round, he was toast Kraata. This was the sickness of Tridax, and what had he taught him? Only one thing:

That Toa are the real heroes... And Tridax breeds the next race of monsters.

"Actually... I've been thinking about leaving."

OOC: Metagamey much? But whatever.

IC: Bullseye/1st Person/Halls

I wasn't sure if my brothers would leave, and I needed all the help I could get.

"Same here. Perhaps we could work together."

IC: Zelnos | Empty Dorm Wing

"Sounds good but we'll have to convince the headmaster to let us leave. No-one actually knows where it is exactly." He paused. "I think..."

IC Vaalku

Oh. Well, that was convenient.

"Um, you think anyone else wants to leave?"

IC: Era - Empty Dormitory Wing.

"Why don't we go straight to Suvak, then? He knows the way to Malebranche, and he'd probably agree that a field trip was a good idea." Suvak had always been supportive, especially considering my.... condition. "If we ask him nicely, he'll help us, I'm sure." 

IC: Bullseye/1st Person/Halls

"My small sub-group is, but they are currently unsure. I left them so they could think about it."

OOC: Gotta go sleep.

IC: Pyre

I recognized the staff. It belonged to the illusion rahkshi.
 

I jump backwards out of reach of the staff.

"It is true. Your teammate did the final blow on that  rahkshi. I'm sure we'll find his feet marks on the head of that rahkshi. So stop trying to defend his crimes. If he was still alive I'm sure we would have done the same we did with Zex."

IC: Illusive - Gym.

Blind rage consumed me. This was going to die! I jumped up onto the stage and advanced on the Plasma Rahkshi. Him and Zex.... they'd both been responsible, yet neither of them cared.

They still tried to divert the blame onto others, like the pathetic, irresponsible cowards they were. 

I wouldn't let either of them hurt anyone else. 

IC: Tridax considered Rail's request for a time before making his decision. "No, I think I will leave him with his flight capabilities, much good they will do him in his current state. What happens here and now is justice, done in the names of the deceased and for the benefit of you all. Anything beyond that would simply be vengeance, and as your headmaster I could not condone such activities amongst yourselves. If you wish to continue your vendetta against Zex then he will at least be allowed some modicum of ability to defend himself."

He looked at Pyre and Illusive, a look of contemptuous disgust on his face. "I am trying to enact justice here." He threw an aura of silence over Pyre, preventing him from making any more wild claims and accusations, "Cease your obstruction of it, or be held under similar charges."

IC: Illusive - Gym.

Scowling, I lowered Serpent-Fang and stepped away from Pyre. He'd get his comeuppance; I'd make sure of that. But for now, there was more work to be done. Bristling with anger, I stormed away.

Revenge on Zex had been sweet, but this was only the beginning....

IC Jayar / Jayar's Dorm --> Hallway

Jayar awoke at last, feeling refreshed, even somewhat optimistic, misplaced as that was at Corpus Rahkshi. For a moment he lay in bed, eyes closed, and gave his arm a tap, listening to the echoes bounce crazily around the small room. It was nigh impossible to interpret, but he managed to get a little information out of it.

He opened his eyes and got up, then grabbed his staff and left the room, walking towards the Refectory.

OOC: Jayar open to interaction.

IC: Rail - Gym

Before he could even react to either the verbal dispute he was in or the impending fight, both had been equally squashed by Tridax. He was not surprised that his request wasn't going to be carried out, but if the Rahkshi was somehow able to get himself fixed up and kill again, the blame would fall squarely on the Makuta's shoulders, not his.

And if he did, Rail would personally hunt his classmate down and put him six feet under.

"Fine," he said narrowing his eyes as he turned back towards the Headmaster. "I'll settle for his weapons then, and the pieces that were removed from his armor as well. My room could use a few trophies."

He took a few steps forward, picking up all of the severed body parts and looking the silenced Rahkshi square in the eyes before hopping down off of the stage.

"You can do what you want with him now."

And with that, he proceeded to make his way towards the exit, hoping to catch up with Illusive on his way out.

IC: Xara - Hallway.

I ran into another Rahkshi while I was wandering the halls. "Oh, sorry," I apologised, stepping away from him. I frowned; I knew his face from around the school, but I didn't know his name. "Who are you again?"

OOC: That's Jayar.

IC: Jayar / Hallway

"It's fine," said Jayar. "My name is Jayar. And you are... Xara, correct?"

IC: Xara - Hallway.

"Yeah..." Everyone seemed to know who I was. And not for good reasons. 

IC: Jayar / Hallway

"Nice to meet you," said Jayar. Better here than in the Gym. He held out his hand for Xara to shake.

IC: Xara - Hallway.

I took his hand and shook it. And since he was being so nice, I was even kind enough to not electrocute him. 

"So...." I released his hand, "....what are you doing out here? Grew bored of the trial; had enough of the violence?" 

IC: Raptor

"Just transform into flight mode - all of us. We should be held tight together. 3... 2... 1... go!" Raptor transformed.

IC: Rider

Rider did so, trusting his friends.
