IC: [Ril]"Guys, why is there a BLOODY DRAGON IN THE SKY?!"
IC(Byraher): "Who are you?" she asked. How many of these people are there?
IC:While Fehkalia studied the maps, Kecand yelled, "WHO WANTS TO CHOP DOWN SOME TREES?!?!?!", holding an axe in the air, waiting and hoping for the people in pala-koro to cheer, or get motivated, etc. He waited for their reaction.
IC: Reordin (Pala-Koro, Le-Wahi)His thoughts of the strange Matoran dissipated as he looked up at the dragon and tilted his head."That settles it. I'm opening up a pet food store. Anyone down to be my business partner?"-Teezy
IC: TawaraTawara decided not to ask what the "commissions" were. She looked around. The hut was constructed of long wooden planks bent into a large dome, with gnarled branches curling through at some points for support. Several roughly constructed bookshelves stood along the walls, and they held a greater collection than Tawara had ever witnessed -- much larger than her mother's. At least a quarter of the tomes were previous journals, filled with sketches and descriptions of various species of Rahi. Tawara picked one and thumbed through it, staring once again at the Toa's amazing artwork.After a minute or so, the Matoran stood and walked over to what she presumed was Gyren's quarters. The door was ajar, and sure enough the Toa was asleep and sprawled over a mattress. He was very still, and there was something...A worm-like creature clung to the back of his neck.Tawara threw open the door and sliced the Rahi off her friend's neck with the skinning knife. A proboscis with a bony tip remained lodged in the Toa's armor, and violet blood spurted out of it every few seconds. The Matoran grasped the proboscis and tore it away. The flow of blood lessened. Unsure of whether her actions were helping or making things worse, the Matoran grabbed a fistful of sheets and pressed them against the wound."Um... Gyren? You awake?"
OOCSeeing as Laki's never seen or heard of any deputies of the ILS, and he has had no introduction to the way the ranking system in Pala-Koro works, Reordin is as much an authority figure as any to him.ICLaki looked up at the tiny bat-thing. Or dragon-thing, if that's what they were calling it. "Are these not the dark-species which destroy-attempted Le-Koro? " he asked. He was far more worried than the others around him were.
OOC: Von’s the only member of Armageddon squad out there.IC(Von): Von thundered through the undergrowth, following the strange dragon-being that had been seemingly attacking the fort at pala-koro. He pushed himself, giving thanks to Amerikos for all the training he had put him through. He moved quickly, jumping from branch to branch. After a few moments, Kali followed, using her Calix to keep up with the much larger toa.OOC: I’ll assume that your assassin Vortixx is talking to me, CinGrochiIC: “I’m Bane,” Bane said, looking the Vortixx up and down. “And this is Secer.” He said, as Secer came to stand next to him. “Me, Secer, and two others make up an elite black ops team known as Armageddon squad.”-Bane
OOC: YepIC(Byraher): "Byraher." she replied.
IC: "So are you a thief? You just said you didn't like assassinations. What do you do for a living? Seducing influential leaders?" Bane asked, half-jokingly. He needed a good feel for who this Vortixx was, before he asked her to join. He had met good actors before.-Bane
IC:Mariko looked at Draeverian. "You could use a bath as well." he commented. "Once the doc fixes your foot, come find us at the lake." he said. Then the dark Toa quickly followed Atvin down to water. He was looking over the lake and quickly spotted a suitable a bunch of rocks where he could put his things and where the water was deep enough to stand. He stepped into the cool and surprisingly clear liquid and waded across until he reached the spot, where he proceeded to take off the larger pieces of his armor, to give them a more thorough cleaning. He began with the chest-harness, rubbing off all the mud and dirt that he could.The cool water had the additionaly benefit of reducing the throbbing in his side. "Best idea all day." he told Atvin.
OOC: Bane and his squad must be the worst Black Ops team ever, if they go around talking about it all the time and at least one member is bright yellow. Even amongst other bright-colored beings on this island yellow is not terribly common.
IC: Madrihk (Pala-Koro)Madrihk had barely put his head on his bed before someone outside shouted about a dragon. He groaned and rolled over on his side. He decided that if they needed him, they would fetch him. In fact, he almost expected them to fetch him even if they did not need him.Such is the curse of being a leader, he thought, trying to get some sleep.
IC(Byraher): Byraher blushed slightly again. Something tells me Madrihk isn't exactly a friendly person, the way these people go on about me and him... "I have stole before, yes. And quite good at it too. I can do all sorts of stealth related jobs. Name it, I can probably do it."IC: "So are you a thief? You just said you didn't like assassinations. What do you do for a living? Seducing influential leaders?" Bane asked, half-jokingly. He needed a good feel for who this Vortixx was, before he asked her to join. He had met good actors before.-Bane
IC: Norathed:The dragon had climbed up a tree quickly, and launched himself into the air, circling above Pala-Koro, hissing at his pursuer to try and chase him now.
IC: Skrihen"Bane, we all know you're desperate," Skrihen rolled her eyes and smirked. "But stop using your little boy band to try and pick up chicks."OOC: Katuko's got a point. ![]()
OOC: That's the wonder and glory of it. If someone shouts something for too long, people ignore it as a madman's fantasy. It works well to hide the more messy parts of Bane's job. Besides, although Bane talks about it, little is known of the rest of the team. Bane's the face, although he gets involved. And Armageddon team is a little bit of a joke, considering it's just a name Amerikos gave them while joking.IC: "I don't pick up chicks." Bane said. "I kill them, as a general rule, unless I can confirm who they are, and what faction they belong to. And besides, you haven't met Kali. She'd stick a war-hammer in your head for that last comment." Bane turned and looked at Skrihen. She reminded him of Kali. Same independent spirit, same cynical joking attitude."Kali and Von, you are the yin yang," Amerikos had always told them. "You compliment each other, so work with each other." This was such a time. Kali flipped off Von's large shoulders, using her control over plant life to create a branch for her to land on. She caught Von's hand, and pulled him up. They continued up the tree, using the same system. -Bane
IC: Skrihen"No, you kill them because none of them will date you." Skirhen smirked. "And do you know why?"Her eyes glinted with cruel amusement. "Because you're a geeky, green, foolish Toa who pretends to lead a team called the Armaggedon squad. And you can't even man up and move out from Amerikos' shadow. You carry his shield like your own because you can't do anything yourself, and have to hide behind the reputation of your 'team' and and of Amerikos to protect your vulnerable emotions."OOC: Bane anger in 3... 2... 1...
IC-Kal:Kal had been forced out of the main hut in the village by Madrihk, and now was listening to Skrihen and Bane. From what he just heard, his eyes widened, both in fear and amusement, the Toa of Stone almost letting out a laugh-he made sure he had the repaired Rahkshi staff in his hands, though.
IC(Byraher): "Nice meeting you." Byraher muttered as she ran outside. No fricking way I'm getting in that mess!
OOC: Bane won't bite. I wouldn't bite for that, so Bane wouldn't.IC: Bane raised an eyebrow. "And you say this why? You don't even know me. You wouldn't be able to tell me from a Nui-Rama." He smirked slightly. "I'm not Amerikos. I will never claim to be. But I can do some things for myself." Bane flowed through the pain. Most of those jabs hurt with the recent death of Amerikos. He was tempted to break the toa in two, just to prove himself. But he didn't have to prove himself. "And you seem like you're asking for a fight. I'll oblige, but you wouldn't survive a single round. I'd suggest you don't, since we're giving smack talk."-Bane
IC: Norathed:Above Pala-Koro, Norathed let out a small roar, he circled above the village, trying to determine if landing below would be worth the effort to find the familiar-scent.
IC-Kal:"Bane, just because she's a girl doesn't mean she wouldn't destroy you in a heartbeat," Kal said with a smile. "I recommend you shut up and quit enticing her to fight."
IC: Aelynn"You new here?" a quiet voice came from behind a certain Po-Toa. Aelynn didn't really want to talk to any of the newer people here, mostly because of recent events, but there was something different about this being. His armor was grey, but it didn't seem like it had always been that way, and he walked with a slight limp.OOC: Talking to TD's char, BTW ppl.
IC: Skrihen"I don't have to know you. I've met enough people like you to know how your type works." Skrihen crossed her arms. "You're insecure, and constantly need to try and prove that you're as bad as you say you are.""DO you want to know how I know? Because someone who was confident in his abilities wouldn't immediately introduce himself as part of an elite black ops team. That's not something you just say. Not only is it stupid to do so, it just means you're looking for attention. And then you go and assume I'm looking for a fight, and furthermore assume that you could take me.""You couldn't avenge Amerikos. You weren't even near his level. Amerikos held his own, if only for a short time. You'd be snapped like a twig. And then, there was the Nemesis incident." Her eyes glittered maliciously. "I wonder how Amerikos would have felt about you conduct there, don't you?""Like I said, you're an insecure little brat and a danger to those around you. Because one day your need to prove yourself will get someone killed."
IC: Choi (Pala-Koro, Le-Wahi)"Oh! Um...yeah," he said, snapping to attention. "My name's Choi. Choi Gemini. I'm here to help in any way that I--whoa!"He stumbled a bit and caught himself on a hut, grinning at her weakly."...can."-Teezy
IC(Byraher): "The Kraz is that?!" Byraher exclaimed as she pointed at the dragon.
IC: Atvin"You said it." Atvin replied, observing the Vortixx everyone must be speaking of run out of a large building. His eyes lingered on her before they flicked back to Mariko, who was probably enjoying the water as much as he was."Strange, how that is? One day this place is just an ordinary lake and shortly after there's a village here..." Atvin commented, knowing he was forgetting something. "Oh yes, I keep forgetting you're not from around here, sorry."OOC: Yo uh guys, I gotta go but someone bring in a peacemaker for Skrihen vs. Bane ![]()
OOC: The nemesis incident never happened IC, if you'll remember. And we don't need a peacemaker.IC: "And if you want my judgement, you're full of hot air." Bane said cooly. "You throw out insults just to get a reaction. If you want to know, Armageddon squad was the name Amerikos gave us, as a joke. Do you really think we'd be dumb enough to go spouting our names out if we were serious? It's been our joke codename since the beginning. It was never meant to be serious. Now, if you're done with your smart-aleking, I'm going to help take care of the dragon flying right above us."Secer activated his faxon, and gave himself the dexterity of a brakas, following the trail Von had left for them. Bane ran to the wall, flipped, and threw Amerikos' shield at the flying dragon, using it as a giant frisbee.-Bane
IC-Kal:"Am I the only person here to notice that his dad was a lot less abrasive?" Kal asked Skrihen."He was smarter, too."
IC: Aelynn"I'm Aelynn," the Fe-Toa replied, frowning as Choi stumbled. "Are you alright?" She asked, looking over the Toa of Stone for injuries.Perhaps he was injured during the battle, although, Aelynn hadn't seen him during the attack.
IC: SkrihenSkrihen rolled he eyes, and looked at Kal. "Want to help stop him from attacking an innocent being?"As she spoke, vines whipped the shieldf out of the air.
IC-Kal:Kal nodded, the village wall extending up well past the height that Bane would be able to flip over it, the Toa hitting it and sliding back down to the ground.
IC: Norathed:The Dragon glared as the shield flew towards him, then was pleased to see it be catched by plants below. He had allies in this village. He instantly plummeted, landing nearby the offending Bane and co. He hissed at the shield but quickly spoke to make up for his strange arrival."Norathed sorry if Norathed distrub the peace, Norathed want familar-scent, then Norathed leave," The dragon said, immediately sniffing for the trail of the scent.
IC-Kal:"Look!" Kal said with a laugh. "He speaks!" He bent down, looking the Dragon-like being in the eyes."Kal wants to know about familiar-scent," he said, speaking in Norathed's odd style. "Kal also wants to know what Norathed is doing here."
IC: SkrihenWith a thought, Skrihen imprisoned B ane in vines. He would not be getting out any time soon. She smiled at Norathed, and bowed. "You are welcome here, Norathed, as long as you mean this village no harm."
OOC: Funny, you two. You do realize that Bane wasn't trying to kill it. He knows the same info on nerve points as Amerikos
IC: it suprised Bane when the vines took the shield away, but it was more annoying when the wall shot up. He kick-flipped off of it, slicing through the vines holding his shield in place as he did so. He landed on his feet, and then turned, suprised at the dragon's speech. Von had signaled that the dragon was attacking, but he hadn't said that it was also intelligent. "Sorry about that." he said, addressing the dragon. "Bane had large friend watching this place. He thought you were attacking."Kali reappeared, and drew the vines away from Bane. Von and Secer followed, holding their weapons, but Bane signaled them to lower them. -Bane
IC: Norathed:Norathed simply sniffed, "You see-find something like me, but not me?"
IC: Choi (Pala-Koro, Le-Wahi)"Yeah," laughed Choi. "I, uh...I'm pretty used to this by now. It's a long story, you don't really wanna hear it..."-Teezy
OOC: Bane, Bane is tied up with vines. :PIC: SkrihenSkrihen glared at Bane. "You're a bloody fool. Think twice before you listen to your little boy band next time, got it?"Itt was an order, not a request. She looked back to Norathed. "No, sorry. We haven't seen your kind before."
IC: Aelynn"Oh, I'm doing nothing other than cursing the world and feeeling sorry for myself," she said dryly, "I've got time."
IC-Kal:"I've seen similar beings to you before, rather recently," Kal said. "One flew over the village not too long ago. Looking for him?"
