IC: [The Seventh]"Wow, a tunnel."
IC: Emotia - Casa Juturna, Ga-Wahi -"Well, I suppose going somewhere really nice in Ga-Wahi itself would be nea-" Emotia, in her drunken state, finally noticed Naona and the freakin Po-koro Guard standing in the distance. "Um...is that Naona...with all of the Po-koro Guard, or am I just seeing things?"IC: Skyra - Ga-Wahi Beachhead -I couldn't help but chuckle a bit. "Yeah...he would do something like that wouldn't he? I wonder what his reaction will be to me being a mark bearer..." For the moment I felt a little better, or was that the high from the mark? I couldn't tell. IC: Denerium - Denerium's House -Denerium began to walk down the tunnel, taking a light stone that was hanging on the cave wall and lighting the way. "Where are you taking us?" Wraith questioned."Patience! You'll see soon enough." He called back, not slowing down, which was good, cause the old Turaga walked very slow.
IC: Tarnok"Alright." Tarnok grinned, and pointed at Aurel. "Her."IC: LiaraLiara smiled, and put her head against Skyra's chest. "You better not leave me behind."
IC: [The Seventh]"Let me guess, this is where you sell illicit goods."IC: [Naona]Naona just waved.
IC: Zacax"NO! You can't figh her!" Zacax said
IC: Aurel (The Silver Keras):Aurel titled her head to the side, "I may be on a boat, but I ain't no pirate. Cry settled."
IC: Skyra - Ga-Wahi Beachhead -"Don't worry. I won't. I couldn't do that to you." I said, and I meant it too. Besides, she'd hunt me down and yell at me if I tried.
IC: Zacax"Yea you bet your butt it is, you can't fight her! Maybe you should fight the cap'n! Oh...crud what did I just say..."
IC: ReaverI trek through the rainforest for days, having become an efficient hunter and tracker. Since my village fell, I've had nowhere to go. I still have nowhere to go, so I've devised a plan; Set myself adrift, and see where it takes me. Finally, I reach the coast, and find an abandoned fishing village. All the boats except one have degraded beyond repair. I slowly push the boat into shallow waters, jump into it myself, and lie down, waiting for sleep to take me into its clutches.A cold wave splashes over me, waking me with a jolt. I sit bolt-upright, and take a look around. Nothing but water for mio in every direction. I pull my legs close to myself, dipping my head. What if I never make landfall? What if I die on this very boat? I sob loudly, raising my head to confirm my hopelessness.... There! On the horizon! It's land! I chuckle nervously, then heartily laugh, and soon I'm standing, yelling and yahooing at the beautiful sight of the distant island. Manipulating the air currents, I set a course for the island, and salvation.After hours sailing, and the island seeming no closer, I begin to wonder if I'm seeing things. However, I am not wrong, as I see a black spot in the distance, slowly getting bigger. A ship! I stand and yell and wave my arms, hoping to draw its attention. Soon enough, the ship pulls up alongside my pitiful boat. A rope ladder drops over the edge, and I pull myself aboard. Dragging myself to my feet, I look up, and see an intelligent man looking in a book, some kind of journal, before nodding to his companion, and extending his hand to me in a sign of friendship.Taking his hand was the worst mistake I ever made.Her eyes flicked open, and she sat slightly upright, looking out the window. Just a dream. She lay back down and stared at the ceiling. I'm not sure how I feel about this whole wedding business. I mean, I should be happy for Emotia, but then again, she's marrying that darned surf rat. He has his merits, like a massive house and a healthy supply of Salamander's, but..... I guess he just grows on you after a while. I am beginning to tolerate him, definitely.You shouldn't have to.She gasped and shook her head in disbelief. She decided to get some more sleep. It was going to be a big day.
IC: Tarnok"You said whoever I want." Tarnok smirked, and winked at Aurel. "Would you mind making it no powers, Miss? I can't use my biggest advantage, so I think it would make us roughly even."
IC: Kitsune, Ga-Wahi ForestKitsune smiled after the Matoran, respectfully restraining from asking what it was that he had lost. Not that she didn't already have an idea of what it was. Turrning to Jikal, her smiled grew. "So, what do you want to do now?" She asked, beginning to fan herself again. OOC: Sorry for super late post.OOC:IC: "Then, may Mata Nui pro-tec' an' guide ya, Jikal an' Kitsune. Ya've helped me fahnd sumthin' Ah had lost." The matoran turned to continue on his path. "G'bah."His ussal began to clop away.IC: Kitsune, Ga-Wahi Forest"Kitsune, it's a pleasure to met you." Kitsune said, her blushing going down as she bowed (in the traditonal japanese style).IC: Gavarm nodded right along. "Aaaaah," He said appreciatively.Then he turned to the female. It would be too awkward to not ask of her name when the other member of her party had already introduced his self.The matoran made a slight bow. "H'lo ta ya as well, ma'am."
IC: "Zakaz is right" Tooroko said. "This is my ship, so he should take this up with me. I also have no natural powers, so we're even."
IC: Zacax"it's Zacax...like in Zacax...not the island infested with skakdi..."
IC: Tillian (Casa Juturna, Ga-Wahi)"Don't focus on them, focus on me," he said, laughing. "Ga-Wahi sounds nice. Want to just barricade ourselves inside the house and ignore the whole world for a few days?"-Teezy
OOC: Oops, my bad. I did know that, I just have Skakdi on the brian right now. :PIC: "Sorry, Zacax" Tooroko said as he drew his sword and pointed it at the Matoran bafore him. "What do you say, shrimp? If you can beat me, You'll stay on this ship. If not, we'll sail out into Naho Bay and make you walk the plank."
IC: Zacax"Hey he is just a matoran!" Zacax stated, "I will protect him from being put to the plank, the only time that should happen if he has stolen our weapons, like all of my fire arms that were stolen!"
IC: TarnokTarnok looked Tooroko up and down, eyeing him carefully. "I accept. How will we decide the victor?"
IC:Labelle finally made it back to Tillian's house. She was rather drunk, and she had been forced to ask directions from a Matoran or two. "Anyone home?" she asked. She had a feeling people were going back to being all couple-y. Which gave her just the slightest fear of missing out.
IC-Zodir:Zodir noticed Labelle, having left Tillian and Emotia on the beach by Jaron's new grave."No," he said. "Nobody at all. I'm just a figment of your imagination."
IC: [Naona]"Have you ever got the feeling that we may be the unluckiest guard contingent ever?"
IC: "We'll stop when I have my blade to your neck" Tooroko told him. "I think we'd best go up on deck to do this - there's more space and less chance that we'll break something."
IC: Zacax"Alright, if cap'n wins, you leave, Tarnok wins, he comes," Zacax said,
IC: Aurel (The Silver Keras):"NO!" Aurel shouted, "He challenged me, this is my duel. For my line's honor."
IC: Tarnok"Or when mine is to yours." Tarnok nodded. "Agreed."He turned, and handed his book to Aurel. "If anything happens to that book, I will hunt you down."
IC: Zacax"If this matoran knows how to use the kicthen utensil he has, I don't want you to get harmed,"
IC: Aurel (The Silver Keras):Aurel bristled, and took the book. If this kept up, what's left of her line would be honor-less by the end of the lunar cycle.
IC: Sontarok walked through the Koro, looking for something to do.
IC: Tooroko climbed a ladder up to the deck, feeling the slight breeze blowing in off the ocean. He stood in the middle of an open space, drew his weapons and took a ready stance. "When you're ready, Matoran" he said.
IC: Zacax"Aurel why are you so insisted on fighting a matoran? For honor? Honor shouldn't really matter if it's just a test like this. Honor is something for fighting in the time for fight and defense, not for stupid things like this,"
IC: Emotia - Casa Juturna, Ga-Wahi -Emotia waved back, she was very easily distracted at the moment. "Huh? Oh yeah, that sounds like a great idea, just us in this big house."
IC: Skyra - Ga-Wahi Beachhead -"Should we head back to Tillian's house? Or do you want to just lay here in the sand?" I could go with either option really.IC: Skyra - Ga-Wahi Beachhead -"Don't worry. I won't. I couldn't do that to you." I said, and I meant it too. Besides, she'd hunt me down and yell at me if I tried.
IC:"A fig- figment of my imagination" Labelle said, startled at first by the sudden appearance of Zodir. "Does that mean you're me? And if you're just my imagination, can you fly?" Labelle paused. "Whoa. If you can fly, and you're me, does that mean I can fly?" It seemed like a very honest question to Labelle, considering she was drunk.
IC-Zodir:"That depends, Labelle," Zodir said, having remembered the name from earlier, and hoped it was the right one. "If I am you and you are me, does that mean that if you can fly I can fly? You can fly in the water. I can fly in the air. Does that mean the mediums reverse?"
IC: TarnokTarnok breathed deeply, as he climbed the ladder.Upon reaching the top, he carefully studied Tooroko. The Vortixx wielded a sword, likely of advanced make. He had made a comment about no special powers, so he could assume it had no elemental properties. But on the other hand, he might have lied. Best to be prepared.He reached down, and withdrew from his belt two knives. One was a fairly standard throwing knife, well-crafted, and hard to break. The second, on the other hand, was far more uncommon. He'd traded with a Skakdi for it, he'd called it a saxe knife. Or at least that's what Tarnok thought he called it, the accent made it hard to tell. It was long, almost as long as a short sword. One side was sharpened, while the other was thick, strong, and heavy. It was made for close combat, strong enough to take a sword blow, but it was balanced for throwing.The Ussalmatoran held them up, saxe knife in his dominant hand. He was ready.Sulov gave his honor for this island. He gave up his status, his honor, and his home to destroy the hive.Kol gave his life to delay Hiemalis. To give us time to leave, to give us time to recover.Ussalmatoran have died for less. Let's see what I'll do.IC: Liara"Your choice, really."
IC: Denerium - Denerium's House -"Illicit goods!? You wound me Seven! I'm the most honest fruit vendor you'll ever find!" He said. Ahead of them was the end of a tunnel, a current blocked there view, Denerium opened it. "Welcome, to my secret garden!" Before them was what looked like....a jungle? No, that wasn't quite what it was. In truth this place was quite literally a large dome full of plants, all sorts of trees and other plants covered the entire dome. Despite being underground, the lighting in the place was nearly as good as if they were outside. If Seven and Wraith looked up, they would see that the entire ceiling of the cave was made of some kind of transparent crystal, it was very thick, yet you could see through it almost perfectly. The light from the ceiling seemed to make waves, this was because the entire dome was in fact...underwater. They could see fish swimming above them. "You two are the first to see my secret garden in a very, very long time! What do you think? Hmmm? Hmmm? He plucked a pear off a tree and took a bite out of it.
IC:"Uhhhhh.Uhhhhhhh.Uhhhhhhhhh" It was as if Labelle mind was going on a rollercoaster, with each attempt to understand Zodir's new statement being a new twist or turn and making her dizzy. "But I can't fly in the water. No one can. And I thought you were me, not the other way around. You're silly. But does that mean I'm silly? I don't feel silly. She took a step toward Zodir and nearly fell. "Never mind, I feel silly." Labelle laughed.
IC: CorexCorex watched the battle with anticipation. He was rooting for Tarnok, mostly because the Matoran seemed very combat capable, but also in part due to his status as an Ussalmatoran.
IC: ZacaxZacax didn't know who to root for, his cap'n or the matoran? He was once trained by a warrior, like Zacax...if that warrior did die in honor, he taught that matoran well like Tahukama did to him.
IC-Vitiate:"Come," Vitiate growled to Garren, walking past the Toa and towards Ta-Wahi, the heat gradually overtaking him.OOC: Vitiate and Garren to Ta-Wahi.
IC: [The Seventh]"You have ... a secret garden."
IC: Skyra - Ga-Wahi Beach -"Well, l'm feeling pretty comfy right here actually, and seeing as you're already on top of me, I see no reason to move."
