IC: Aurel:Aurel tentatively grabbed a cookie out of the jar and started to munch on it.
IC: [iegasa]"Now, what do you think of the Cookies?"
IC: Aurel:"Alright, they're some good cookies."
IC Ningjing"Yes, I can work around that; after all, a weapon is simply an extension of one's arm when you come to think of it. It would still be good to know hand to hand though. Oh, and just so you know," he said. "I mainly teach internal use of energy, but if you guys are the type that blasts it outwards a lot, I can help you with that as well how to be more efficient and how to shape it into more, well, creative forms."IC: LathonHe'd been practicing the stance along with Kaithas. He'd felt his power over air swirling through his body, focusing his center, calming his mind. "I will train." he said."I primarily use my blade though, will this training be able to work around that?" he asked. Lathon already saw himself as a powerful fighter. He didn't loose battles, that wasn't how her operated, but there was always room for improvement.
IC: I grinned. "More creativity is better, considering most of what I do involves throwing trees."
IC: Ningjing"Really?" His eyes widened. "That takes up lots of energy, and trees are quite easy to dodge. And they're hard to control too, since they're so heavy."
IC: I grinned. "Not that heavy," I summoned a bonsai tree that was about a foot tall. "when they're only this big."
IC: Ningjing"Oh. I thought you meant you were throwing giant redwoods around those things are HUMONGOUS!!!"
IC (Nawal):"Well could you teach me to use my fake arm as a weapon? Or simply master control over it?" Nawal asked Ningjing, looking at his fake arm.
IC: Ningjing"Hm, it has two hooks at the end, so you could potentially use it as a parrying/catching weapon; it could also be a good grapple."
IC (Nawal):"But the problem is, is that I can barely move it. It has wires in it connected to my shoulder muscles, letting me move it at the shoulder and elbow. But I am still having problems getting used to using these muscles in this way."
IC: Ningjing"Oh... You mean your range and speed of motion are extremely limited?"
IC: ZakamaZakama watched the others train, waiting for his turn, looking at his blades and cleaning them. He wanted to keep his blades from becoming dull.
IC DakanDakan suddenly remembered something. "Wait here," he said. He teleported away. A few moments later, he was in an abandoned hut in Ko-Koro. He looked around, then picked up a box. "Easy there," he whispered as he opened the box. A bog snake slithered out of it, flicking its tongue around. "It's been a long time," Dakan whispered as the snake slithered back into the box. He closed the box and trekked back to the meeting point.
IC: Iegasa"Standard reaction to them it seems."
IC: Zyron"Curiousity, mostly." he replied and shrugged. "I just wondered what I might find here, so I decided to give it a go... and off I went." Zyron smiled."So, what are you going to do with your widgets now that you have them?"IC: Myka"At least I now know that they're scared of the prospect of a fight." Myka smiled. "So, what brings you to Ko-Koro?"
IC: MykaMyka shrugged. "I was in it more for the respect than for the widgets. I'll probably meet someone who needs them more than me somewhere."
IC: Zongu"But you're still at least partly evil, which is below our Goodness Standard."
IC: Keuirce"Alright, we'll keep you, if you don't burn down any more churches."
IC: Zongu"Yeah!" Zongu nodded triumphantly, then assumed an expression of confusion, and glared at Keuirce. "What?!"
IC: Zyron"Ah, I see. But you know, there are also less... dangerous ways to gain respect", the matoran said thoughtfully, without realizing that while doing so his hand went up to the scar on his cheek.He hesitated for a moment."Say, Myka... what are you going to do now?" Zyron asked.
IC: Keuirce"I just undermined your authority. Elysi is helpful. You're about to get rid of an important asset. However, if we apply rules, we don't have to lose that. Also, you're a moron."Basically, I'm putting myself in charge of this group. All in favour say aye."IC: MykaMyka noticed Zyron's hand going to his scar, but resisted the temptation to ask about it. "I don't know. I'll probably head to Ga-Koro, like you suggested."
IC: Zongu"Nay."
IC: Keuirce"Aye."
IC: Tirra"Hmm, you're cute, I mean Ayeeee........." The miniature Toa said from Keuirced shoulder. She might have been a bit biased, though...
IC: KeuirceKeuirce's face lit up a little at being referred to as cute, but he quickly smirked at Zongu, who was being completely overruled.
IC: Aurel"Seeing as how I don't think you get that many visitors willingly, yes, I would think it's a standard reaction."
IC: ZyronDisappointment spread across Zyron's face and he lowered his gaze."Oh. I had thought maybe you could show me around a bit... I mean, I've never been to Ko-Koro before.... "
IC: Myka"Why didn't you say so?" Myka beamed. "'Course I can show you around!"
IC: Zongu"Screw it, you can have your stupid leadership." Zongu sighed dismissively. "I'm gonna go give this ring back."* * *Zongu sat at a bar, hunched over a mug of hot chocolate. Oh, chocolaty goodness. My only friend, he thought glumly. Really he knew this was not true; he had not lost any friends. Losing his leadership of the group to Keuirce certainly gave him the same feeling though. I guess it's my fault really. I mean, I did get drunk, sell a Husi, marry a Brakas and throw glass bottles at a Suva.Well chocolaty, there is only one thing we can do in a situation like this. Drink on, dear boy, drink on.
IC: Zyron"Really? That's wonderful!" Zyron exclaimed. It was always a good idea to have company while travelling to yet unknown places - and much easier to avoid getting lost. Which he really didn't like.And somehow he really liked Myka. She seemed trustworthy to him. Quite unusual for a random encounter, he thought.
IC: Keuirce"You know, I would follow him," Keuirce admitted to Tirra; "But honestly this is the first real chance you and I have gotten at time alone together. So, Elysi, you can follow Zongu, and if he doesn't bounce back soon I'll have a word with him."IC: Myka"Well, there's not all that much Ko-Koro to guide you around, but I'll do my best." Myka smiled, walking at a reasonable pace further into Ko-Koro, expecting Zyron to follow.
IC: ZyronThe Le- matoran followed her, looking around and trying to memorise the way they went. He also realized that the colours of his armour kind of stood out... but probably not as much as his hat.
IC: [Elysi]"Am I allowed to punch him if he gets too mopey?"IC: [iegasa]"Most visitors are worshippers."
IC: Aurel:"My point exactly."
IC: [iegasa]"Yet they are willing visitors."
IC: Aurel:Aurel sighed, "Fine, what point are you trying to make then?"
IC: [iegasa]"None."
IC: Aurel:"So what do you want from me then?"
IC: [iegasa]"Eternal servitude to the Makuta would be appreciated, but seeing that you may not comply, donations would be fine."
