IC-Vitiate:"Obviously," Vitiate said drily. "Well, as I would hope you would be astute enough to know, that small hut was not my only residence upon this island. There is a building, deep within Ta-Wahi, where I shall take you." The two had steadily been heading south, after Garren had come back to Vitiate."You see, there used to be many more of my kind," the elder Toa said. "However, they have either succumbed to their age or turned from the teachings. Not I, however." He continued walking on.
IC: "And next you're going to tell me that you used some sort of dark arts to keep yourself alive. Anyway, what's so mysterious about this Ta-Wahi lair? Is it where you slayed all your competitors? And what is this way, anyway?"-Bane
IC-Vitiate:"What you call dark arts, I call good survival skills," Vitiate said. "No, there is little that is mysterious about it, other than where it is hidden. It is on the edge of a cliff along the volcano, but off at enough of an angle that it cannot be seen from most of the Wahi. It is where we train those of us who are to be warriors, skilled with their blades, the path that suits you."
OOC: Oh Lordy-lord. 0_oIC: Skyra - Arekule's Lab, Ga-Wahi -I watched as Tillian left. "Well...I'm outta here...don't bother looking for me till after the wedding please..." I said to the others present as I walked away. I decided I'd go look for Laserbeak, who was probably drunk as a skunk somewhere at Tillian's place. IC: Emotia - Ga-Wahi - Emotia, despite almost falling off a few times, had been giggling quite a bit, she hugged Tillian tightly. "Soooooo....." She slurred. "Did.....Skyra boy get the mark...or was it that Salymander guy?"
IC: Aurel (The Silver Keras):Aurel frowned, "Yeah, but something happened to him. He could be anywhere in the world."
IC: Denerium - Ga-koro -Denerium led Wraith and Seven down several streets, until they reached what appeared to be a wall of rock. Denerium stepped off his cart and went over to the wall, he pulled out a peg from somewhere on his cart and inserted it into the wall, which then opened, making an entrance way. "Welcome to my home! Come in, come in!" Denerium got back onto the cart and his Mukua began to pull the cart into his house. Wraith looked at Seven briefly, from the expression on her face it was clear she'd never seen this place before either, maybe there was more to this old Turaga then just selling fruit...
IC: Calebos and Zacax"yea...I mean I thought Zacax died when he got trampled by that Kikanalo but he is alive," Calebos said"wait...I lost you before that happened, how would you know that?" Zacax asked, "Unless...."
OOC: My darn post didn't go through..,.IC: Tarnok (Silver Keras)Tarnok shook his head from the shadows. The kid had a lot to learn. His brother did too. Aurel, at least, seemed to have her head straight on her shoulders. Well, as much as a Toa can.The Matoran's black armor let him blend in, as he read his book for the thousandth time. He wouldnt be noticed unless someone looked directly at him. He was amused at how easily he had snuck aboard. He'd just waited for them all to walk onto the ship, and he and Gelips had climbed on when no one was looking. Helios was tethered to a pole around the corner.
IC: Zacax and Calebos"This Calebos isn't my brother," Zacax said, "at least not in this dimension...""What do you mean?" Calebos asked.
IC: Lux Saran - Ga-Koro Shore/Casa JuturnaLux was busy pouring himself and Readra another glass of spirits when he heard the commotion outside. Particularly, the shout of "Scrumpadoochouuuuus!"Raising an eyebrow, the Po-Matoran put his cup back down on the table, before walking over to the front to investigate."What the karz?" he said as he opened the main door outside.IC: Rynekk Simul - Ga-Wahi Shore/With the GuardsmenRynekk followed along with Tadris, trying not to lose him in the crowd."So," he grunted, shoving a Guard roughly out of the way, "Is it just me, or does Tillian look...more insane than before?"-Void
IC: Tillian (Casa Juturna, Ga-Wahi)Tillian quieted as the surfboard touched down on the beach in front of his house, and after plucking it from the ground and leaning it against the front door, he plopped down in the sand and sighed."Skyra got it."-Teezy
IC-Zodir:Zodir saw Tillian touch down, and so he came out from inside the Toa of Gravity's house. He wasn't exactly certain why he was there in the first place, but he was, so...yeah."Uh, commander-gravity-guy!" He called to Tillian, catching the Toa of Gravity's attention."You know that friend of yours? Jaron? I've got bad news about him."
IC: Emotia - Casa Juturna, Ga-Wahi - "I see..." She said she drunkenly sat down next to Tillian and rested her head on his shoulder. "How he's taking it?" Emotia said, hardly noticing the random Toa of Air named Zodir that really had no business being there. IC: Skyra - Ga-Wahi Beach -As simple as it would of been to just call my Kahu Destiny and ride her back to Tillian's House, I decided to walk the whole way, figuring I'd have more time to think this way. So I had a mark, and the mark of fear of all things. So what? I could deal with it, I could deal with anything! Sure there was the problem of having to feed it, still had to work that out, but I figured I could just find some pathetic thugs and scare the karz out of them, or maybe dress up in a scary Halloween costume and spook children...yeah I could totally pull that off.
IC: LaserbeakLaserbeak, somewhat miffed at being abandoned, had started walking.Then she spotted Skyra. Grinning drunkenly, she activated her mask, flew and tackled Skyra.
IC: Tillian (Casa Juturna, Ga-Wahi)"The same way he takes anything, really. A couple bad jokes, some alcohol, more bad jokes."-Teezy
IC: Skyra - Ga-Wahi Beach -Well, it appeared that finding Laserbeak was gonna be easier than I thought. Out of nowhere she flew into me and tackled me to the ground. "Oh...hai there...I was just looking for you." I said, grinning. I then realized I never bothered to tell her I was gonna become a mark bearer...well...maybe she wouldn't notice my new tattoo, no reason to tell her right now and spoil the moment. IC: Emotia - Casa Juturna, Ga-Wahi -"I just hope he didn't do it for nothing, and going to the temple really does remove the marks..." Emotia then looked at Zodir. "Tillian...who's that guy?"
IC-Zodir:"Somebody who's here for absolutely no reason at all, and plans to leave soon," Zodir answered himself. "After I tell you what happened to that grumpy old Toa of Fire friend of yours."
IC: Tillian (Casa Juturna, Ga-Wahi)"Dead again? Not surprised. He has a habit of leaving when I need him the most. Did he leave me his ukulele?"-Teezy
IC-Zodir:"Yeah, he left it here when he left. He was muttering something about "Gotta talk to Agzinel" before." Zodir shrugged."I think he's the only person I know of to die twice."
IC: Tillian (Casa Juturna, Ga-Wahi)"Yeah," Tillian muttered absentmindedly. "I hate when people do that. Got the uke?"-Teezy
IC: Laserbeak"Well, I was looking for Tillian's house. I got lost. And drunk." Laserbeak said cheerfully, as she gave Skyra a tight hug.
IC-Zodir:"I left it inside," Zodir said apologetically. "I can grab it, if you like."
IC: Tillian (Casa Juturna, Ga-Wahi)"I think I'd like that," he said with a tired smile. "Thanks."He stood up and walked over to a group of surfers, tapping one on the shoulder."Hey, bro. You using that board?""Nahh, man, found this baby washed up on the beach. You want it--?"The surfer looked up at Tillian for the first time and jumped back."Yo, you won the championship last year! You're the guy who juked the Toa of Iron with a surfboard, right?""Well, yea, that's--""Yo, take the board, man! It's all yours!""Cha, brah!" Tillian turned back, board now in hand, and walked back towards Emotia."Don't say a word," he warned her. "Not a word."-Teezy
IC: Skyra - Ga-Wahi Beach -I hugged Laserbeak back. "Well...I think I'm sober enough to find the way back." I said. "When you're ready we can head back there." I said, I couldn't help but glace at my right arm, where my mark was...glowing slightly? Apparently I was afraid to tell her I had a mark. Which was silly...right? At any rate...it felt kinda good.
IC-Zodir:Zodir soon came back with the Ukulele in his hands, and he looked at how Tillian now had two surf boards with him."...Where'd the second come from and what's it for?" He asked, gesturing to both.
IC: Tillian (Casa Juturna, Ga-Wahi)Tillian didn't answer: he merely snapped the board in half. He planted half the board into the soft sand of the beach overlooking the water and took out the knife Jaron had given him, carving several words into it.Captain Jaron Unskii.May your heart always be joyful.May your song always be sung..May you stay forever young.-Teezy
IC: LaserbeakLaserbeak paused. "Skyra? You know how Soundblaster's name is really Krian?"
IC-Zodir:Zodir bent, reading the carved inscription, and nodded."Fitting, from what I've heard of him," he said. He handed over the Ukulele, thinking. At that moment, Vitiate decided to pay a visit.IC-Vitiate:"Ah, I see you wish to give him two head stones, eh? I guess a surf board is better than a tree," the Toa of Plasma said, shrugging, as he directed Jaron's armour to walk over to the group, standing stock still once it reached them."May you hold him in good memory, and may he continue to watch and guide you," the Drokan said, as he walked away, Jaron's armour crumbling to the ground.
OOC: You're a bloody stalker why do you constantly do thisIC: Tillian (Casa Juturna, Ga-Wahi)"That...is so gross." -Teezy
IC: Skyra - Ga-Wahi Beach -I sighed in relief, she hadn't noticed. "Um...yeah? What about it?" IC: Emotia - Casa Juturna, Ga-Wahi -Emotia nearly puked. "So....I guess we have to bury him....again." This whole thing was both odd and impossible. Snelly was glad that Kal couldn't revive Jaron ever again. OOC: Yeah...you're a stalker in real life aren't you Kal?
OOC: Zacax, not entirely sure if that's legal in this game.IC: Aurel (The Silver Keras):Aurel rolled her eyes, "Calebos from another dimension? That sounds silly. And I know silly."
IC: Zacax"NEver mind I'll discuss it later," Zacax said,
IC: LaserbeakLaserbeak was quiet a moment, before speaking more softly than Skyra had ever heard her speak. "As you might have guessed, my name isn't Laserbeak."
IC: Tillian (Casa Juturna, Ga-Wahi)Tillian lifted him up into the air with Gravity and cleared away several feet of sand before lowering Jaron's body inside and filling the hole."I never, ever want to do that again," he said, placing the makeshift gravestone where Jaron's head would be.-Teezy
IC: Aurel (The Silver Keras):Aurel shrugged and looked about, turning to look at the Ga-Koro Har-Aurel's eyes snagged onto a heartlight. A Heartlight belonged to a Matoran, Toa, or Turaga. By the size of said heartlight of the ground, she assumed it was either a Matoran or Turaga... And they were holding a book.Aurel quickly drew her sword off her back and pointed the weapon at the stranger, "Hark! Cry ally or cry foe stranger-who-holds-book-in-hands!"
IC: TarnokThe sound of a book closing broke the momentary silence. "Old Matoran. Interesting. You don't hear that much these days."
IC: Zacax and DeusuiZacax heard Aurel and went after her, same with Deusi. They drew their swords and Deusui could recognize the brig, "Oh great easily ticked off guard..."
IC: Aurel (The Silver Keras):"Cry settled!" She urged Zacax and DeusiAurel placed a foot on a nearby barrel, "Just who the karz do you think I am!?" She shouted at the Matoran/Turaga/stranger, "Because I know who I am, but I don't know who you are. But that's beside the point! What do you want? If you're hear for the women and children, we only have two women, and you're looking at one, and one child too. If you're here for food, you're gonna have to take that up with Deusi. And if you're here for treasure, we don't have any of that either."
IC: Skyra - Ga-Wahi Beach -"I...always assumed it was an alias." I said, my voice sounding very soft as well. For that moment I completely forgot about the whole mark bearer thing and was completely focused on her. IC: Emotia - Casa Juturna, Ga-Wahi -Emotia sighed. "Hopefully, you'll never have too." Emotia stayed sitting on the sand, she was way too drunk to even attempt to stand back up.
IC: KorvusKorvus noticed the commotion and stepped on board the boat."Relax," he urged, "it's just Tarnok. He's a member of the Ussalary."
