IC:Phauxx was reluctant at first. I really hope that's true. With a mere shrug of his shoulders, he replied, "Sure, that'd be great. Where should we start?"
IC - Yuru - Arekule's LabYuru, who had been watching Skyra with fascination this entire time, picturing himself receiving his Mark, was snapped out of it by the voice of an intruder. He stepped out, putting himself between Angelus and Tank."We don't answer to you, firespitter."
IC: Angelus (Arekule's Lab, Ga-Wahi)"Cute," said Angelus, lifting the tip of his sword to Yuru's throat. "Now that Utu's out of the way, it looks like you finally grew a set. That's good. Now move."Yuru didn't move, and Angelus smirked bitterly."Listen, Yuru. Just because I'm marginally more comfortable with the thought of you in charge than Utu or Dorian doesn't mean that I wouldn't kill you without a second thought. In case you haven't noticed, there's two Mark Bearers of Cruelty roaming around Ga-Wahi right now. That makes you just as expendable as I am. Now move so I can talk to Tank."-Teezy
IC-Praggos:"Just do it, Yuru," Praggos said boredly. "After all, he's surrounded by all of us. I'm fairly certain he knows that trying anything stupid is going to result in serious bodily harm at least."
IC - Yuru - Arekule's LabYuru smacked the sword away from him with a stolen blade."Currently, I'm more important than he is. You, however, serve absolutely no purpose. You will never admit it. You will claim you overpower me. But we are matched."He shook his head."Give me a good reason to move."
IC: Angelus (Arekule's Lab, Ga-Wahi)"You saw Dorian's visions," Angelus said with a bored look on his face. "You know as well as I do that I still have a role to play in whatever destiny you guys are set for, and like you said: we're matched. I'm no Kinvex. You know that the rather extreme amount of effort it would take to kill me would inevitably be wasted by--"Angelus cut off, gripping his head suddenly."Do...do you hear that?" he asked, his voice suddenly confused and wracked in pain. "Yuru, Tank, Praggos...anybody?" -Teezy
IC-Praggos:Praggos looked up from where he was writing down what he knew of Skyra, over to Angelus with a curious look on his face."No, I don't think any of us do," he said in answer to Angelus. He flipped to a new page. "Describe what you hear."
IC: Angelus (Arekule's Lab, Ga-Wahi)"Really?" he asked, looking up at Praggos and speaking through gritted teeth; whatever Angelus was going through, he was in very real pain. "It's whispering. It almost sounds like it's saying--"His words cut off in a yell of agony as he jerked backwards and slid against the wall, his eyes glowing the same cool blue that Dorian's did when he received his visions. Images flitted before his eyes at the speed of an Olympic sprinter, set to the backdrop of one word, over and over and over. Just as he finally worked up the energy to scream the word, his vocal cords died before he could even utter the A, and he slumped backwards as the slow blue finally died from his eyes. The room was silent, tense: the only sound was that of the Toa of Fire's ragged breaths as he tried to regain his balance."Someone...help...help me up..."-Teezy
IC-Praggos:Finally, something interesting. Praggos wrote something down, before reaching down and roughly yanking up Angelus. He sat the Toa of Fire down in a chair that had been sitting against the wall, before he looked down at the Toa."Alright. Describe more. You seemed about ready to scream something as well, tell me that."
IC: Angelus (Arekule's Lab, Ga-Wahi)"Paintings with swirls of words. Marks, different Marks, spinning like tops inside green eyes. A Mark of Fear, on the ground: man with a cape, rather kinglike, standing over it in a crucifix pose. The doors to the Temple, all the answers, hidden behind paintings and Utu, over and over, doomed to spend his life dying for all of eternity. Tank, the paintings in an dance around him, bleeding from the temples and cold as death. You, scribbling out notes over a desk, as obsessed as a man can be. The Assistant, dead: a guy standing over him crying paint. And through it all...administrate."-Teezy
IC-Praggos:"...Either we all have weird fates in store for us," Praggos mused, "Or you're as mad as that Grochi guy. No matter." Praggos wrote down what Angelus said, thinking."Alright, Angelus, now: Tell me what you think this means."
IC: Angelus (Arekule's Lab, Ga-Wahi)"It means I need you to write me a prescription for headache meds," he groaned. "Aw, God, my head..."-Teezy
IC-Praggos:The Toa of Ice rolled his eyes, before pulling out a small bottle of said medication and handing it to Angelus."Don't take them all at once," he growled. "I don't want to have to drag you around hallucinating all the time."
IC: Angelus (Arekule's Lab, Ga-Wahi)"This wasn't a hallucination," he growled. "It's...I don't know."-Teezy
IC-Praggos:Praggos rolled his eyes again, turning to Tank. "Do you see this? Really? First I have to explain the difference between a vision and a hallucination and convince Dorian he isn't mad, and then I say hallucination and get yelled at!" He turned back to Angelus."It's like I set myself up for that to happen."
IC: AlexinAlexin grimaced, as he downed half his coffee in a single gulp. "So, how'd you sleep?"
IC: Barth continued to wander the koro, waiting for Croc to get done with his selling. He wished for something to do, maybe an assassination, or even hunting. "I need a job," he mumbled to himself.OOC: Open to interaction.-Bane
IC (Khalisk)Khalisk nodded, he had no idea where he was going of course, but he figured, or rather hoped, the islander did. If she did not, he suspected he would be eaten by a Rahi en route. Not the most pleasant of experiences.
IC: Kitsune, Ga-Wahi ForestKitsune smiled. "Have you ever had someone say the exact thing you were going to?" She asked, her smile growing wider as she joked. OOC: Long over-due post. Sorry 'bout that.IC: Jikal"If you asked me a week ago, I would've said no." He smiled. "The answer is quite different, now."
IC: Jikal"A handful of times. Normally at restaurants, or bars." Jikal commented. As he spoke, electricity danced between his fingers.
IC: Vahlii"Pretty good, actually." Vahlii replied, taking a sip of her warm coffee before digging into her breakfast. "And you?"
IC:VangThe Humanoid Reptile cleared his throat. "Hello? Croc, you awake?
IC: Readra"We just wanna know more about all this business. We thought it seemed a bit... Well, strange, no offence. Tillian doesn't seem like the same guy I met back in Po-Koro."IC: Emotia - Bar, Ga-koro
IC: Emotia - Bar, Ga-koro -"Well, he's not...it's hard to explain...." She sighed and tried to take another shot, it was hard to keep talking with there drinking game going on, plus she was having trouble thinking straight due to all the liquor. "He'll probably be back from wherever he is soon, I'm honestly not sure where he is at this moment...but when he gets back he can explain it to you I'm sure....right now I'm hardly able to see straight..." She suddenly put her head on the table. "I think I'm done with the game now..."
IC: Baneless was a hunted man. Alarms were going off all over Ga-Wahi, and he needed to get going quickly. He quickly climbed the cliff, grabbing onto Gali's face in the process. He got to the top, and headed into the Ga-wahi forests, in the direction of Pala-koro. According to the last info Bane had given him, he was in Pala-koro. He needed to find him, to give him vital information on Armageddon.OOC: Going to Le-Wahi.-Bane
IC: Skyra - Arekule's Lab, Ga-Wahi -My eyes shot open. Thankfully I didn't see a gigantic lidless eye staring at me. Instead a dank, dark, damp, and really dusty lab. I started to feel intense pain in my right arm, I looked, and there it was, the mark of fear, simmering dark purple. It also hurt like karz...I wondered how much of my flesh they had to cut out to fit it in. I groaned slightly, not bothering to sit up. "Well, I had the strangest dream..." I said this like I hadn't just been given mark or anything.
IC: Readra"Well, uh, thanks I 'spose..." him and Lux turned to leave, and as they did so, the Vortixx leaned over slightly to muter in Lux's ear. "Let's just go back to that huge house of his. I think I may need a drink now, too."
IC: Croc"Hmmm, what?" Croc replied, clearly snapping out of his own daze. Twisting around to find the source of the voice, he saw Vang."Oh hey. Anything I can help you with?"
IC:"What!? But we just started playing" Labelle whined to Emotia. "There's still so much to drink and do, and I was just going to bring out tiger Rahi for the third rule!" Realizing she had just broken the first rule four times, she continued "On second thought, to Karz with the game. Next stage of the most amazing bachelorette party begins now!" She slammed her fist onto the table, causing more than a few shots to overturn and spill their contents. "Ooops" she giggled.
IC: Emotia - Bar, Ga-koro -Emotia yelped as Labelle slammed her fist and shot back up to sitting straight up. "Next stage? What is it?"
IC: Alexin"To be blunt, like a De-Toa on the middle of a concert." Alexin replied, downing the rest of his coffee.
IC: Kearrstrun - Ga-Wahi - Arekule's LabKearrstrun jolted his head up to Angelus when he heard the word "administrate".He turned to Skyra to help support him, "How do you feel?"
IC: Skyra - Arekule's Lab, Ga-Wahi -I took a moment to reply, how did I feel? "Well...kind of strange actually. Not to mention my arm stings like karz." I wondered what this strange feeling was...it was more like a desire than anything...maybe to feed my new mark? I wasn't sure. With Kearrstrun's help I got off the table and stood up. I couldn't help but stare at the mark on my arm.
IC: [Quada]"I could show you around this place first. The village in nearby as well."IC: [Twenty-Eighth]"You ready? Well, let's go."
IC: Dalia (The Lab):With that grim task done, Dalia sat on the floor nearby Tank, mulling things over. Skyra seemed... a bit like a loose cannon to her. Maybe that wasn't true, but so far, everyone involved with the bearers had some kind of personal agenda. All she wanted was to get rid of her mark, similar to Tank. Afterwards, she could head back home to Le-Koro, back to lounge, learn to control her water powers with more finesse. Maybe take up carving. She chuckled at the thought.She stood up and turned to face Tank, "So, are we still going to the wedding tomorrow? It is tomorrow, right? If so, we should get ready, everyone is going to be edgy, I overheard that the Po-Koro Guard is going to be there on the way here. That's a bunch of people there, sparks will fly."
IC: RavageRavage shook his head. "I'm sorry, what?"
IC:Rewera shook her head and chuckled. Then she patted Ravage on the shoulder. "You've got a habit of zoning out." she observed. "I was asking what was distracting you. You looked a little distraught back there."
IC: RavageRavage shrugged. "Just my nature clashing with my current role as your guide." He smirked. "After all, curiosity killed the cat."
IC: [The Seventh]"How long have I been running from you again?"
IC: Wraith - Ga-koro -"An hour or so...I'm not gonna leave someone in your condition by yourself." Wraith stated. "Not so long ago you were hurling the contents of your stomach on the beach."
