IC: Krian"Since when am I even invited to be here?" Krian raised an eyebrow. "And honestly, more things have happened to me since I joined up with these two. They always get off scot-free."
IC: Skyra - Casa Juturna. Ga-Wahi -"Look, I offered Laserbeak a chance to start over, why shouldn't I give you one? And as for these two little devils." I said, looking at both Mimira and Pearl. "I am far to busy to be baby-sitting, you on the other hand, have the time."
IC, Agzinel: Agzinel smiled sadly. "Well, I think it's, er, sweet, of him to want to protect you that much. I think that's what good people do- they lay their lives down for their friends. And I believe he cares for you, just as much as he cares for Tuara."
IC: Krian"Look at it this way." Krian said bitterly, as he leaned on his cane. "Thanks to that Anthyn wench, I'm too weak to get into trouble anyway."
IC:Pearl"Mr. Krian has already promised to not let anything happen to us, so it's okay." Pearl informed Skyra, a bit disappointed she wasn't gonna get to fight him. It would've been fun. "Wait, what do you mean you'd beat me in seconds?"
IC: Skyra - Casa Juturna. Ga-Wahi -I nodded at Krian sadly, feeling somewhat sorry for him...a little anyway. Then I looked at Pearl with a smirk. "You honestly think you could beat me? Not only am I a Toa with elemental powers and the like, but I'm also an expert swordsman. I'm not saying you're a bad fighter or nothing, I don't know that, but you'd be at a severe disadvantage." I was surprised how nicely that came out, I'm usually a bit more blunt. Mimira went up to Pearl, happy she was gonna be able to come, she whispered into her ear. "You really think you could take my brother in a duel? I've seen him duel before, he's...tough." She warned.
IC:PearlPearl looked back to Mimira. "Before I answer that, tell me if your brother is your brother a nice person?" She whispered back.
IC: Mimira - Casa Juturna. Ga-Wahi -"He's a nice person to people who aren't bad guys." She whispered back. "So you're safe."
IC:Pearl"Then of course I could take him. If he didn't use his mask or elemental powers that is..." Pearl said in a loud voice, so that anybody who cared could hear.
IC:"Can I stay for the wedding too?!?" Labelle yelled. "I loooovvvee weddings! They're so romannnntic!" The world was just ever so slightly spinning, and everything seemed to be so much more fun for some reason. At the back of her head Labelle knew she was acting rather foolishly, yet she couldn't stop herself. Whatever it was that she had drunk here... it was wayyy too much for her. Labelle tried to think if she had ever tasted the Salamander drink before, or any alcohol for that matter. She couldn't. Then again, there wasn't much she could remember. She laughed quietly. "So can I stay?" she asked again. "I won't make any trouble, promise."
IC: Tillian (Casa Juturna, Ga-Wahi)Tillian laughed and shook his head."You're insane," he whispered in her ear, leaning in and kissing her cheek. "You're lucky that happens to be one of my favorite qualities."The Toa of Gravity took his fiance's hand and led her up to the third floor, into one of the bedrooms. The window led out to a balcony with a brilliant view of the rising sun, and the orange glow of the dawn cast its way into the bedroom, clearing away the shadows and darkness that clung to the corners around the queen-sized bed against the other wall of the room. Several dressers and sketches rested along the walls."This was my brother's bedroom for the longest time," he said. "It's empty now, so if you want a bed to yourself at any time, this is your little sanctuary."IC: Emarosa (Casa Juturna, Ga-Wahi)Ema smiled and squeezed Agzinel's hand for a second."I know," she whispered. "And thanks."-Teezy
IC: Skyra - Casa Juturna. Ga-Wahi -"You'd still lose, I'm stronger, faster, taller, and older." I stated.
IC, Agzinel: Agzinel's Mark began to glow again. But he didn't care. He smiled back. "You're welcome," he said.
IC:Pearl"I'd have to disagree with the faster part." Pearl commented. "And being older and taller doesn't mean anything..." Or, it doesn't in the stories in the stories at least...
IC: Emotia - Casa Juturna. Ga-Wahi -Emotia looked over the room, trying to get in every detail. Then she leaped onto the bed. "It's perfect!" She said as she spread her limbs across the bed. I raised an eyebrow. "Whatever you say kid."
IC: Tillian (Casa Juturna, Ga-Wahi)Tillian seemed to have zoned out, though: his eyes were misty, floating with memories, and for a while, he didn't respond. Then, as if pushed into a full bathtub, he shook his head, snapping to attention."Yeah," he said with a smile. "That's why I picked it out for you."-Teezy
IC:Pearl"You don't believe me?" Pearl asked, her hand reaching for her absurdly long and heavy sword. "I'll prove it!"
IC: Krian"Pearl, feel free to prove it later. But let's not injure Tillian's best man the night before the wedding, hmm?"IC: LaserbeakBefore Skyra could blink, Laserbeak tackled him in a hug.
IC: Skyra - Casa Juturna. Ga-Wahi -I was about to respond when I was tackled by Laserbeak. "Oh...hi Laserbeak..." I said, I was now pinned to the couch.
IC:Since it seemed she was being ignored, Labelle decided to make her own fun. She found a few more bottles of alcohol (sighing when she found they didn't contain the salamander drink) and used her elemental abilities on the liquids they contained to fly them in a circle. She laughed, and one went zooming near Skyra and Laserbeak, crashing into the couch and breaking. She laughed again. This was fun!
IC:Pearl"Fine, Fine..." Pearl said reluctantly.
IC: Laserbeak"'Hi Laserbeak' indeed." Laserbeak commented, making sure Skyra was well and truly pinned. "You've hardly said a word to me all afternoon."She pointedly ignored the explosion of alcohol.
IC: Tillian (Casa Juturna, Ga-Wahi)"Well, I'm glad you like it," he finally said. "Adrian always loved this room; he'd be glad to know it was being put to use again."-Teezy
IC: Emotia - Casa Juturna. Ga-Wahi -Emotia nodded, though she seemed distracted with how comfy the bed was. "So...after the wedding...I think we need to..." She didn't want to say this, she really didn't, but she had too. "...we need find the mark bearer group." I looked Laserbeak in the eyes. "I guess I haven't have I? Didn't mean to shun you or nothing...just been kinda distracted."
IC: Tillian (Casa Juturna, Ga-Wahi)To her surprise, Tillian nodded."I've been thinking about it, too," he said quietly. "And after we find them and finish up...I want to stop."-Teezy
IC: LaserbeakLaserbeak rolled her eyes. "You mean by vampire Tillian, crime syndicates, and and random fights and chance meetings? Yeah."She gave him a tight hug, and hadn't yet let go.
IC: Emotia - Casa Juturna. Ga-Wahi -"Stop?" Emotia asked. Not exactly sure what he meant by that, though she had a pretty good idea. "Yeah, all that stuff." I said as I hugged her back.
IC: Tillian (Casa Juturna, Ga-Wahi)Tillian plopped down on the bed beside her and embraced her, tracing the edges of her new spine with one finger."I'm not the same guy you fell in love with, Emotia," he whispered. "I'm all fangy and bloodsuckery and Mark Bearer-y and...I want to be able to settle down and spend the rest of my life with you. Without having to worry about any major quests or losing each other in the middle of some bounty hunter's compound. So yeah. When we're done with the Mark Bearers...I want to stop."-Teezy
IC: LaserbeakLaserbeak grinned. "Well, that's done, so you can pay some attention to me." She grinned some more as she used his shoulder as a pillow, laying down in such a way that he was still pinned.
IC:After breaking a second bottle of alcohol Labelle decided she might get into trouble, so she slowly put them down on the ground. Of course, in her inebriated state, she ended up breaking a third bottle. "Sorry" she said, although she realized that no one was listening. Azginel and the shy girl Emarosa were in the kitchen talking, Laserbeak was on the couch with Skyra and it seemed Labelle was stuck with Onuzek. Not that she had any problems with him- he was nice, very nice; she just didnt like the thought of getting shot at for fun. Then Labelle remembered the soon-to-be bride and groom, who were upstairs talking about Mata-Nui knows what. She felt a little sad then- there were Tillian and Emotia, what seemed like the perfect couple, in love in a house full of friends and about to married. It seemed like neither of them knew how good they had it. It was a real gift to be in love. Labelle had been in love once....Suddenly she was broken out of her reverie, for no apparent reason. Which mean't it was probably because of Onuzek. She looked around for him.
IC, Agzinel: Agzinel smiled and put his other hand on top of Ema's. "So after the wedding what would you like to do?" he asked.
IC: Emotia - Casa Juturna. Ga-Wahi -Emoita nodded, hugging Tillian tightly. "I just hope that there is a way to remove these marks. To be honest...using my mark is so easy, and addicting, it's starting to scare me.""Well, you have my full attention now." I said, laughing a bit.
OOC: Well, let's get a move on. Plus we can have a run-in with the Phantoms.IC: Dino looked around. "Do you really zink we'll a-find anyone here?"Back with the second group, Leadfoot was bored. He kept that at bay by tossing trash...and talking trash. "Ya know wot ah think? I think yer too scared ta go in furst! That's why yer keepin me here, to guard ya!" However untrue that was, he continued pointlessly insulting Rodimus and Sideswipe, growing more impatient by the second.
IC: ReaverShe stretched herself across the couch, taking all avaliable room, and stared at the ceiling. I will say this, Tillian, you've got a great house. Too bad it's your only redeeming quality.She thought about the Marks, the Journal, the Administrator. Standing up wearily, she poked her head into Emotia's new bedroom. 'Emotia, a word with you? Mark Bearer business, important stuff.' She paused for dramatic effect. 'Really important stuff.'
IC: Emotia - Casa Juturna. Ga-Wahi -Emotia nodded, and then looked at Tillian. "I guess I'll be catching up with you later." She said with a wink, then she went out of the bedroom to Reaver. "Alright, I'm ready."
IC: ReaverShe drew a deep breath, and closed her eyes. 'Okay, here goes.....' She opened her eyes, which were flared blue. What she had learned hurt quite a bit.'I know where we come from. I know what we are.'
IC: Emotia - Casa Juturna. Ga-Wahi -"You...you do?" Emotia asked as she stared into Reaver's now blue eyes.
IC: Reaver'Yeah. What would you like to hear first: What the Marks are, or how we got them?' She subconsciously rubbed her own Mark, burning bright between her fingers.
IC: Emotia - Casa Juturna. Ga-Wahi -"Well, I suppose...how we got them..." That was a question that had been burning in her mind for a long time.
IC: Reaver'Okay. You may want to sit down, just in case,' she said, sitting down in a chair herself.'Okay, so, Utu and Tank, the leaders of the Mark Bearer group, in Ko-Wahi, they were attacked by a guy called Kearrstrun. And.... he had a Journal. It wasn't his, though. It belonged to a guy called Areluke, or the Administrator. He called the Marks "runes". Now, the Administrator stole these runes from Turaga Nuju, ancient ones, long before any of us were around. He found out that the runes had power, and needed to test them.' She sniffled quietly. 'That's where we come in.''We're test subjects. He took us and gave us the Marks against our will. He didn't care that we were people with families and homes and lives! We were livestock to him, playthings!!' She hung her head in her hands, crying.'And I know who I am. Who I was.'
