OOC: You know, I wonder why people call Laserbeak "Lazerbeak"? Is it for the reason I think it is?IC: LaserbeakSlowly, Laserbeak replaced her dart gun at her waist. She looked at Labelle. "I'm not gonna sedate him. He's putting it away. Aren't you, Onuzek?"
IC: Onuzek"Uh huh," he said, nodding. Onuzek placed the rifle on his back, right next to his massive sword. "Onuzek doesn't want to waste all of the excitement."
IC: Laserbeak"That's right, Onuzek. You don't want to waste all the excitement."Krian raised an eyebrow. " That brute doesn't ge-"Laserbeak whirled. "Shut up, Krian." She placed mocking emphasis on the last word.
IC:Labelle hoped to calm things down a bit, and hopefully not have weapons pointed at her again. "So," she began, "how did the bride and groom meet? And how on Mata-Nui did you all meet Onuzek?"
IC: Laserbeak"I met Onuzek when I attacked a hospital." Lasetbeak said bluntly. "And Soundblaster here helped.""I'm not the Soundblaster anymore.""No, I forgot. You discarded any remnants of your affiliation with us, didn't you?"
IC:"A hospital, you say?" Now Labelle was quite sure that these people were definitely trouble. And interesting. She decided that it would be much more fun to be here with these interesting people than by herself, alone and boring. "And who exactly is this 'us' that Soundblaster has no affiliation with anymore? If you don't mind my asking, that is?"
IC: Laserbeak"The former Casseticons."Laserbeak sighed. "An ex-thief, and now I hang around with several members of the various Guards, and a lovable giant."
IC: Emotia - Ga-koro -Emotia immediately embraced Reaver in a hug, the excitement everyone was feeling from upcoming wedding and Onuzek's rifle was giving her mark lots to feed on as well. "Reaver! You're actually here!" She said as she hugged her, her face beaming. Having a bullet fly past mere meters from my face was definitely a surprise, my eyes got wider than I ever thought possible. "Mata Nui!" I said, and then watched in mixed horror and amusement as Onuzek randomly had pointed his sniper at Laserbeak, and then Tillian. I relaxed sightly when Onuzek finally put the gun down. "This is why I prefer swords!" I yelled, still somewhat worked up from the insanity of it all.
IC - Reik - BeachSo, Tillian had claimed the throat of yet another fool. It didn't come as too enormous a surprise to Reik, who watched the entire ordeal, leaning from a tree. He watched as he took Troy's rifle. Better than that, he had actually given the rifle to some purple mountain of a Toa. That didn't look like a good idea to Reik, especially since the large brute had nearly blown off the head of the obnoxious green Toa, who Reik had decided to call "Birdy" after his nonsensical attempt to sound cool in battle."Yo, Tillian. Are we going to eat, or...what?"
IC: TransethLittle did Blackout know that the last person to carry his codename hung, dead, in this very Wahi, beside Crowbar. Funny how Wotz did things like that at times.Overlord spoke, so he replied with, "Indeed. I suggest the Koro, since if they're going to go about their 'heroic' business, they'll be there, stopping a thief or something." the Skakdi was already heading in it's direction, but due to the sheer size of Overlord's foot, was not in front of him, and made sure not to get there, for fear of being stabbed in the back, and because Galvatroth had evidently placed him with Overlord to keep an eye on him.
IC: OverlordOverlord nodded, walking forward, each step causing the ground to shake.IC: LaserbeakLaserbeak turned to look at Labelle. "What, you want my life story? Maybe hoping to turn me in?" "Laserbeak, calm down.""Don't tell me to calm, Krian." She looked at Mimira and Pearl. "And when did you start running a daycare? Hoping to convert them into your new troops?"
IC: Skyra - Ga-koro -I stepped between Laserbeak and Krian. "Hey hey hey! That's enough, first of all, Mimira isn't gonna be converted into anything, she's coming with me, obviously I can't trust her to just stay home so I'm gonna have to drag her all over the island with me." He said as he glared at his sister, who in turn tried to look innocent. "Also, let's not get into an argument about what happened at the hospital, it's done, over, finished, the end."
IC:"Turn you in? I didn't even know you were an ex-thief until a minute ago when you told me so. I was just hoping to hear some interesting stories, and maybe make a friend or two. And you should probably listen to Krian and the other girl" Labelle said, motioning to Skyra. "You might get Onuzek worked up, and we don't want that to happen."
OOC: If I read that right... Skyra is suddenly female.
IC: Onuzek"Gahh..." the gigantic Toa said, trying to follow the current conversation. It was a lot harder for him then it would be for someone else.
IC: LaserbeakLaserbeak literally turned her back on Krian, and looked at Labelle. "Stories eh? There are an awful lot of them with this group."Still somewhat grumpy, Laserbeak grabbed her flask off her hip, and gulped down half the contents. Labelle wouldn't know, but she had just downed a decently large portion of Salamanders' Revenge.
OOC: Skyra. Is. A. Guy. IC: Skyra - Ga-koro -"You wouldn't believe most of my stories. Seen a lot of crazy things happen all over the island."
IC: LaserbeakLaserbeak pointed at Skyra, as she gulped down the rest. "Don't even get me started there. I've seen some weird karz man."
Ic: Aurelia stepped forward, amused at the somewhat ridiculous antics everyone seemed to be displaying, especially noting the rather simpleminded hulk that waved a gun around like a rainstick. "Tell me, does this sort of occurrence always happen around you?" she asked to nobody in particular, though it was more intended at Tillian and Skyra than any other.
IC: Skyra - Ga-koro -"Why yes, this is a rather somewhat normal thing around us." I said, shrugging.
IC: Laserbeak"Yes." Laserbeak answered, "When we aren't involved in combat or being drunk, this sort of thing happens."
IC: Tillian (Naho Bay, Ga-Wahi)"Speaking of eating..." Tillian muttered, looking around; his eyes widened in excitement at the sight of a large beach house at the edge of the beach."There it is!" he yelled. "Casa Juturna's right over there. Enough food to hold over an army for a couple months."-Teezy
ooc: So SO sorry.IC:"Do you think I could join you for a meal?" Labelle asked. "I dont mean to intrude its just that I don't really have any other place to go, and you all seem like a lot of fun. Even with the whole being shot at bit. Which I'm starting to think happens a whole lot more often than usual for most people."
IC: LaserbeakIn truth, Laserbeak was a little tipsy at this point. And as always, it meant she was more friendly than usual.She slung an arm around Labelle's shoulders, and grinned. For someone who'd seen her reflexes when Onuzek pulled a gun, and watched her when she was angry, this was rather unnerving."Sure! Come on!" She started walking forward, guiding Labelle with her. "Maybe I'll tell you some stories!"
IC:"Why thank you...Laserbeak, is it?" Labelle said. She quickly followed after the hawkish Toa, eager to hear tales of every stripe and color. Labelle thought she smelled something, so she sniffed the air quietly. She realized is was the stench of alcohol, or somemthing of the like. Then she noticed a flask on Laserbeak's hip, and that it bounced as though it was shade too light.Labelle didn't say anything, but realized that at least one member of the party was not... fully aware of the surroundings. Great, she thought sarcastically. This is gonna turn out just great.ooc: salamander's revenge?
OOC: A drink in-game I invented. Or rather, Laserbeak did. It has since seen wide-spread use.IC: Laserbeak"Why yes, that's me!" Laserbeak replied cheerfully. "And you're..?"
OOC: It's a brand of Scotch in this game.IC: Tillian (Naho Bay, Ga-Wahi)As the group neared Casa Juturna, they began to see just how massive it really was: a four-story beach house with balconies peppered sporadically under windows and a surfboard propped against the door. Tillian threw open the door and felt that really awesome cold rush of air that happens when you open the door to your home after a long period away. There's nothing quite like it in the world."Mi casa es su casa," he said. "Take a seat wherever you'd like. Make yourselves comfortable." -Teezy
IC:"My name is Labelle. I actually lived here for a few years when I was a child" she replied. That was strange. She had few memories of her life before a few months ago, and most had been blurry. It had been impossible to make out any details in them, let alone determine where they took place. Labelle decided that joining the group truly had been a good decision, especially for mind. It seemed she was starting to remember.
IC: Laserbeak"Me, I haven't really lived anywhere in about fifty years." Laserbeak said cheerfully, as she started to root through Tillian's cupboards. "Dude, Tillian. "You got any drinks, man?"
IC: Tillian (Casa Juturna, Ga-Wahi) "Under the floorboards," he called out. "Had to keep my brother from grabbing it and drinking it all, so I hollowed out the floor and kept a stash there."-Teezy
IC: LaserbeakLaserbeak checked where Tillian indicated, and grinned. "Score!" Selecting a bottle of a variety she was fond of, and poured herself a distinctly large glass. Actually, it was more of a jar than a glass.She walked back to the rest of the group. "Til, you rule."
IC:Labelle took a seat at a table by a window with a view of the ocean. "Nowhere? Doesn't it get tiresome, always moving around? Don't you have some family, perhaps a brother or sister, living in some village somewhere you can live and call home?" She watched as Laserbeak continued to search, desperately it seemed, for more alcohol.
IC: Tillian (Casa Juturna, Ga-Wahi)"No problem," Tillian muttered, walking back with a bottle of Salamander's in one hand and a shot glass in the other. Filling the glass, he set the bottle down and caught sight of a sketch mounted on the wall: it was Tillian and another Toa, about the same age, smiling exuberantly, the other Toa holding a surfboard and a trophy with Tillian's name on it. Plucking the sketch away discreetly, he set the bottle down on top of it, disguising it from view. He downed the shot in a single gulp and took a seat on one of the well-worn leather sofas.-Teezy
IC: LaserbeakLaserbeak grimaced slightly, and took a long gulp of her drink."No family to speak of, not any that'll talk to me, at least. And I had a place to stay, it just wasn't a home. You can't really have a home when you're a wanted fugitive of the law."In truth, Labelle was lucky Laserbeak was drunk. If she wasn't, she wouldn't be nearly so cooperative.
IC:Pearl"So can we go now?" Pearl asked, getting a bit annoyed. Who were these people to come in and interrupt their ADVENTURE? She was about ready to whip out her sword and get severely beaten in a fight, just to actually have a bit of ADVENTURE.
IC: Skyra - Casa Juturna. Ga-Wahi -I decided to sit down on the sofa as well, looking at Laserbeak with some amusement. If only Havon was here, he'd been drinking right with her. Mimira sat down on a chair nearby, not daring to leave my site, she knew I'd just find her and bring her back if she left anyway. When Laserbeak mentioned family, that topic rather stung a little in my mind. My parents had died long ago, Mimira didn't even remember them. Mimira looked at Skyra, and then back at Pearl. "I don't think I can come, unless you convince my brother, but I don't think that's gonna happen. You and Krian can go on without me." She said sadly.
IC: Tillian (Naho Bay, Ga-Wahi)"Family gets overrated," Tillian muttered darkly, filling another shot. "Trust me on that."-Teezy
IC:"I suppose so" Labelle said. "But didn't you say you were an 'ex'-thief?" Labelle decided to try the drink Laserbeak was having. She poured herself a shot and gulped it down. It burned her throat and warmed her insides. She decided she liked it. She decided to have a little fun. She began using her elemental ability. Next time anyone tried to drink, the alcohol would fail to drop into his or her throat throat. It took a bit of concentration- it wasnt pure water- but she still managed to do it.
OOC: Be forewarned, Labelle. Salamanders is, in-game, one of the most potent drinks. :PIC: LaserbeakLaserbeak grimaced when her drink failed to move. She used air to force it out of the glass. "Yep. Ex-thief, ex-spy, ex-mercenary. Retired a few days ago."IC: KrianKrian glanced between the two Matoran. He didn't want to leave either behind.... He glanced at Skyra.
IC:Pearl"No, I'll find a way to get your brother to go along with my idea..." Pearl said, thinking about all her literarry knowledge about what a HERO would do in this kind of situation. It was quite obvious, yet very scary to the little child. She tugged on Skyra's arm. "Excuse me, you're name is Skyra, right?"
IC: Tillian (Naho Bay, Ga-Wahi)"Don't let her fool you," said Tillian, taking another shot. "By retired, she means 'got out of one final jam with the Gukko Force and decided that it wasn't worth life imprisonment.' Right, Laserbeak?"-Teezy
