IC: Skyra - Casa Juturna, Ga-Wahi -I frowned. "No not at all, all those people outside the beach, and Emotia and Tillian over there have the same marks, and they all glow to different kinds of emotions, making them stronger. Long story short, there also dangerous and will eventually kill you if you don't get rid of them, and the only way to do that is to go with all the other mark bearers to some temple tomorrow..." Emotia grinned at Reaver. "Well if you want to Reaver, but my marks a lot more fed than yours right now...and it's still being fed."
IC:Miha"Uh huh..." Miha muttered, looking at the mark. "Why can't I cut it off? It seems easier that way."
IC: Skyra - Casa Juturna, Ga-Wahi -"Well, some of other bearers have tried that, but they lost control of their body because of it. Also I think it would probably kill you in the process."
IC:Miha"Well I'm a doctor. And I happen to know that cutting off an arm does not kill you." Miha said, rolling her eyes. "And loosing control? That's strange..."
IC: Iris/JikalAbruptly, Iris spoke. "Well, I'll see y'all later. Jikal's getting' uppity."His eyes closed as Jikal resumed control. He looked around. "Karzit, Iris. Tuara specifically told us not to go find Utu."
IC:"Wait a minute" Labelle said. "Reaver has one of those marks too? You two should definitely arm wrestle. It'll be amazing" she told Emotia.
IC: Skyra - Casa Juturna, Ga-Wahi -"What I mean is the mark will kill you before it let's you remove it like that." I said, rolling my eyes right back at her. Emotia grinned excitedly at Labelle, "Of course it will be amazing!"
IC: JikalAnother moment passed, before Jikal spoke. "Well, I'll be seeing you. Even if I wanted to, Iris wouldn't let me leave."With that, the Bearer turned, and walked into the house. When he did, a few people who knew who and what he was, looked at him. Skyra's stare was particularly venemous. "Um..... Hi."
IC: Dalia (Ga-Wahi):Dalia stared hungrily at Tillian's house. Her Mark practically starved with her fellow bearers around. No pleasure from them, and she knew that when her mark was forced to activate, it hurt. She needed a power source soon, or else it would activate on its own again. She needed to go to the village, or maybe see if they were were pleased in Tillian's house. It was tempting, so tempting...
IC: Skyra - Casa Juturna, Ga-Wahi -I did in fact stare quite venomously at Jikal. Then I noticed his eyes and face and my expression lightened. "Is that you Jikal, or Iris?" His answer would determine whether or not I decked him in the face.
IC: Jikal"Jikal."Jikal shrugged. "But even if I were he, wouldn't I answer as I did?" He smiled slightly. "Neither of us like being punched."
IC: Skyra - Casa Juturna, Ga-Wahi -"Well, Tain is a pretty lousy actor honestly, so you gotta be Jikal." I replied. Havon spoke up. "So...let me get this straight here...you've got some sorta multiple personality disorder?" He said as he swayed a bit drunkenly. "He's got this baka named Tain sharing his body." "Interesting...I've actually heard of such a thing happening to others in the past, and I also heard of a pretty unique solution to fixing it."
IC: Tillian (Casa Juturna, Ga-Wahi)"Hit him in the face until Iris falls out of his ear?" Tillian asked, walking up to Havon with surprising grace and coherence for someone who had consumed such a copious amount of booze, holding out his hand. "Tillian Juturna. I believe we've only met in passing."-Teezy
IC: Havon - Casa Juturna, Ga-Wahi -Havon shook Tillian's hand enthusiastically. "Nice to meet you properly! But as fun as hitting someone in the face sounds, how it is actually done is with meditation. You see, you have to get yourself into a meditative state that allows you to see this Tain/Iris guy in your mind, then the two of you will have to fight to the death! Whoever survives becomes to sole owner of the body, and the other spirit is outta luck." Havon took another swig of his bottle of his Salamander's Revenge. "At least that's what this one guy at this bar told me."I facepalmed.
IC: Jikal"Been there, done that." Jikal shrugged, and shifted his cloak to reveal his Mark. "I suspect he's bonded to this. Until its gone, I doubt I'll be able to get rid if him."He held a hand out. "I'm Jikal."
IC: Havon - Casa Juturna, Ga-Wahi -Havon shook his hand just as enthusiastically. "I be Havon! The drunkest Toa on the island! Though I don't mind some competition." At this he made a hardy laugh.
IC:Miha"You have a Mark too?" Miha asked, looking at Jikal's mark with great interest. "And here I thought I was special." She said sarcastically. "Hey, you mind if I do few tests on your arm? See what this 'Mark' thing actually is?"
IC: JikalJikal looked at Miha, and his eyes flared green for the briefest of seconds as Iris made a bid for power. Jikal nodded. "Feel free. Be careful, though."
IC:MihaMiha nodded, and pulled out a needle. She carefully attempted to poke a hole in Jikal's arm, with a vial in her other hand, ready to catch the blood that would come from the wound. If all went well, she'd have a vial of Jikal's blood near where the Mark was, ready for studying.
IC: JikalJikal grimaced as his blood began to leak into the vial. Since it wasn't an intentionally cruel act, his Mark didn't activate, but area er's would feel a nice trickle of energy.
IC:MihaMiha watched as the blood leaked into the vial, then bandaged the wound quickly. "Sorry if that hurt, but you know the saying, 'No pain no gain.'"
IC: Jikal"In my case, unfortunately, that's literal."
IC:MihaThe Matoran didn't look up from carefully wrapping the vial in order to keep it safe while she traveled. "Uh huh. And that would be because of...?"OOC:Wouldn't Krian notice Pearl is gone by now? ![]()
IC: Skyra - Casa Juturna, Ga-Wahi -"Because his mark absorbs pain or something." I put in.
IC: Jikal"My Mark feeds on cruelty."OOC: Yes, but I'm waiting for something to happen before he jumps in. ![]()
IC:Miha"Oh really? Any particular rhyme or reason to the power source for these things?" Miha asked, frowning. "Mine runs off determination. And kills me when there is a lack of it."
IC: Skyra - Casa Juturna, Ga-Wahi -"Oh yeah, it was pain...how did I get that mixed up..." I shrugged as I sat down, I was getting woozy from all the alcohol, I absentmindedly poked Laserbeak.Havon decided to sit down at the nearest unoccupied chair. "Well, these mark thingys seem to be more trouble then their worth.""You would be correct to assume that Havon, from what I've seen they've caused nothing but heartache." Wraith commented without a hint of emotion, simply standing by the window as he watched the mark bearers outside.
IC: Jikal"Oh Karz. Iris left without informing Kitsune."Jikal facepalmed. "Oh dear."
IC: Skyra - Casa Juturna, Ga-Wahi -"I could say something like, 'I feel for you.' or something like that. But instead I'm just gonna say I'm really glad I'm not you right now." Yes I realize that wasn't the nicest thing to say, but I am what I am, and I was drunk too, so I think considering all that, I can be excused for my behavior. Havon sighed. "Remember what I told you about being blunt Skyra? It's not very nice." "Shut up Havon..." I said, "I can't think straight and it's annoying me."
IC:Laserbeak poked Skyra back.Jikal didn't look up. "If Kitsune doesn't kill me, her brother will try to."
IC: Tank - Ga-WahiTank looked at Dalia who seemed to be eyeing Tillian's home. They needed to feed the Marks.Tank saw the place he struck down the Matoran, killing her with his staff. He tightened his grip on it nervously, trying to shift his thoughts from the broken body and to something different.IC: Utu - Ga-WahiUtu continued to gaze across the village streets. It had been a long time since he had been in Ga-Koro.Utu motioned to the bar across the way, "Anybody up for a drink?"
IC-Praggos:"Can we try to keep it peaceful this time?" Praggos asked sarcastically, then nodded. "I have something to celebrate, at least. "
IC: Utu - Ga-KoroUtu smirked, "It would be just like us to start a bar fight."He looked to the others, just before pushing the door open, "Let's try to avoid it. We'll need our energy for the wedding."
IC: Angelus (Ga-Koro)"I quite like the sound of that," muttered Angelus from his place beside Utu. "The wedding, I mean. Lots of spare emotion to go around. If only I had my Mark on me..."He looked around."I forget. Is it because of the tattoo itself that we gain pleasure or is it the chemicals in our blood?"-Teezy
IC-Praggos:As the group walked along, Praggos fell in beside Angelus. "The chemicals in the mark absorb pheremones released, generating energy, which is then passed through our blood with more of the aforementioned chemicals, transferring that energy throughout our bodies. That also has the side effect of generating a passing high within our brains, causing us to hunger for more emotion to feed the mark."He imperceptibly nodded at 'Dorian,' though his face remained blank. "More answers will be revealed with time, just be careful not to nose about too much. Insanity is a bad thing."
IC: Angelus (Beach, Ga-Wahi)"You don't have to tell me twice," Angel muttered in reply. -Teezy
IC-Praggos:"Truly," Praggos muttered back, though smiling.
IC: Reaver'Well, what are we wait for?' She set her arm down on a nearby table, and, taking one of her Talons, sliced her shoulder, her Mark flaring a blue-white. 'Let's do this. Could someone run into a wall? Like, really hard?'
OOC: Lux (with Readra and Hakilve) from Ta-Wahi.IC: Lux - DocksWith a satisfying thud, Lux's feet hit the old, wooden dock, followed by his bag hitting the ground behind. Scooping it up with one hand, he glanced upwards, bringing his free hand up to block out the sun's harsh rays."Ga-Koro," he muttered to himself, "The world standardized architecture forgot."Hefting his small sack of supplies onto his shoulder, he turned to face the ship, "So, you guys coming or not?"-Void
IC: [The Seventh]"Be ... careful kid ..." she muttered, continuing to puke. "Just ... stand a bit further away from the water."
