OOC: Intentional, that was.IC: Vrana"I don't care about the little pest, he stuck to me like some annoying living glue, following me around despite how hard I tried to escape his irritation." Vrana remarked coldly, trying to calm himself. "He's better off dead."
IC(Savulg)
"Savulg, Vortixx of...nothing," he responds, stopping to think of his element. But, he remembered that Vortixx didn't have elements; just shiny weapons that they all seemed to have. Savulg walks over to the crates and lifts them with ease.-Mef Man
IC: Nirke:"Wait for just a moment Savlug. I'll come back in a few!' Nirke yelled as she dove into the water. She swam to the surface, and looked at Savlug. "Here's for your troubles! Now just wait!" Ten widgets were thrown to the Vortixx's feet as a plume of bubbles were where Nirke was previously. She shortly came back in a large dighy, which had a sizeable amount of space for the crates. Her glossy blue armor shined in the light. "You can put those on now."
IC: CadiasCadias didn't know what to say at first. He wasn't used to Vrana being so.. coldhearted. Besides, he didn't want to risk upsetting Vrana too much. The last time that had happened... well, both of them had come away with a few scars.Finally, he just said, "Do you really think that?"
IC - Yuru - Talking"Yes, the wedding. We'll go there."
IC: Vrana"Yes..." He remarked, rolling the locket in his hand, the metal making a small clinking noise. Then he went to slide it away, back into his armor. "Yes, I do. He didn't fit in on this island."
IC: CadiasAh, now he had Vrana talking. Now, he thought, it should just be a simple matter of a few right words here or there.Cadias frowned slightly. Did he hear clinking? No matter."Why do you say that?"
IC: KrianNormally, Riun's Masks and Weapons was a cheerful place. Lots of friendly banter, lots of discussion about what weapon works best where, or what type of construction is best for blades. It was a well-established business, and one that was frequented by many.Not today. Today an unholy silence existed in the shop, an almost palpable aura of anger and fear. The latter was derived from the few remaining inhabitants of the shop, most having found an excuse to leave. Rather quickly, in fact. Those who claim to have paranormal, or spiritual awareness would say that great evil dwell within that place, just before they ran away.The aura was concentrated into a wall just shy of physical surrounding a cloaked being. The small amount of visible armor was gray, such a shade that would indicate a Fe-Toa. His back was to the counter and Riun himself, examining row upon row of masks. The reason why was not apparently obvious, for he wore a Kanohi himself. The reason was simple; the Kanohi he currently wore was powerless. It had been used to save his life after his original had been smashed in battle. It wasn't the only thing that had been smashed over the past day.The Toa knew each mask by name, and what each one did. And each one was carefully considered to determine which was most efficient for exacting his revenge. After he had been there for time seemingly infinite, he picked up a mask, and carried it over to the counter where the rest of his purhcases were waiting. Nervously, Riun calculated the cost, and informed the Toa. Wordlessly, he handed the money over, and picked up his goods.He exited the store. He had been present for almost an hour, and he hadn't spoken one word.OOC: Krian open for interaction.
IC: Sontarok walked up to Krian. "What are you doing?" he asked.
IC: TadrisThe breakdancing soon developed into a dance-off with various people in the crowd. Tadris was having a lot of fun until he spotted a familiar face in the crowd. A Toa, in fact.Wearing blue and gold armour.OOC: Dun dun dun :3IC: Readra"Y'know Lux... I haven't been totally honest with you and Hakilve. Come outside, there could be anyone in here."The Vortixx led Lux and Hakilve (who randomly turned up with the power of bunnying) to a secluded area outside, where Readra began to explain."My second name isn't 'Servio' for no reason. My family has always been indebted to another Vortixx bloodline: The Vetmas. Sentraken Vetma was my Thane, which basically meant that I had to obey his commands and and protect him with my life. This is why I'm a trained fighter, you see. I was a warrior, but not one of good. Sentraken was pure evil, and his plan to dominate Mata-Nui involved planting a seed of sorts in their society, someone that they could trust so that when the time came, said seed could brainwash the population to live under his rule. I was the seed. I was sent to gain the population's trust by masquerading as a protector of light, at the same time as fighting to destroy Makuta: the current dominant power on the land. And almost as soon as I arrived, I fought the Rahkshi in Po-Koro. I lost my leg to Makuta, hence this prosthetic one, and saw all the death and destruction. Could it all be worth it? Did I really have to obey Sentraken, despite the oath my family took long ago? So I continued my mission, but I was less pretending than actually becoming a warrior of good. When I received this lens, the messenger told me that Sentraken was dead. In any other circumstance I would have been distraught, but given my sway from his ruthless commands, I felt free."
IC: [Naona]"Tell me Dehkaz, is it just me, or does it seem as if we both have no idea what to do in a situation like this?"
IC: Vrana"It's not important, he just kept blathering on about all the good in the world, never making a bit of sense. But he was wrong, there is no good in the world, only self centered greed." The Avian remarked with a deep frown, rising to his feet.He tosses the other fish he had grabbed aside, he had lost his appetite.
IC: CadiasCadias shrugged. "Forgive my saying so, but it sounds as if he was important. To you."He watched as Vrana threw aside the other fish, silently raising his eyebrows. Vrana usually had a good appetite.Then this Lif must be something he really doesn't like to talk about.
IC: Vrana"He's not important, just another Matoran taking foolish risks, getting himself killed. Nothing more to it." With that, he stretched his wings wide, allowing them to lift him into the air. "Let's get moving towards the village."
IC: CadiasCadias shrugged again. "Alright." He got up and stretched."You're right, of course. If he was such a fool, he deserves to be dead."
IC: Hakilve"I suppose this is the time for me to have a giant shift in view about you," the Toa of Stone said, "Nope, not feeling it."IC: OnuzekThe gigantic Toa didn't quite know what was going on at first, but then he made some friends in the Po-Koro Guard and everything worked out. Po-Toa, as a rule, are generally stronger then other Toa, and it turns out that one of their favorite passtimes is arm wrestling.Onuzek was currently in a match with a Toa of Stone easily as big as the titan named Krayzikk that just arrived. The thing was, Onuzek didn't quite know how to play, and so he just kept his arm in place as the other Toa struggled to move it.IC: Dehkaz"Errr.... Yes, I do believe we are both have no idea what to do in a situation like this," he confirmed, still standing as if he knew what to do."Want a drink?"
IC: [Naona]"Of course. I wonder if they serve tea."
IC: Dehkaz"I'll go find out," the Toa of Magnetism replied, and walked over to a bar that seemed to pop out of nowhere.He returned a few widgets later with two drinks in his hand. "Well, I couldn't find any "Tea", but I did find "Epic Tea"," he said with a small grin, and handed Naona one of the drinks.Dehkaz didn't specify what he got himself, but it was obviously acloholic. Now it began to look like the ex-bounty hunter had no idea what to do.
IC: [Naona]Naona smiled, gracefully accepting the cup of warm Epic Tea (Now with 10% more Miracle Cactus!)."That's exactly what I was looking for," she said, taking a sip.
IC: DehkazThe Toa of Magnetism's grin grew a bit bigger, and he said, "Dehkaz, official waiter of the Po-Koro Guard!"
IC: [Naona]Naona chuckled. "That'd be an amusing title."
IC: Dehkaz"I suppose it would be, Waiter Captain Dehkaz. It would strike fear into the hearts of evil-doers everywhere."
IC: [Naona]"Next thing we know, you're a butler as well."
IC: Dehkaz"I'm not quite sure this is what I signed up for.""I join the Po-Koro Guard to become a butler, mother would be proud."
IC: [Naona]"A butler is a noble profession."
IC: [Rynekk Simul] - Ga-Wahi Shore, Casa JuturnaRynekk sensed Tadris' sudden change in demeanour as he watched his friend's eye catch a particular sight on the far side of the room. Twisting his head (while trying not to make it obvious that he was twisting his head), the Toa of Stone tried to see what Tadris had been so disturbed by.It didn't take long to find it. A Toa, in blue and gold armour, standing at the far end of the chamber.No...This won't end well, he analyzed quickly, before realizing the possible danger that this stranger posed to the other party-goers.This psycho can't be allowed to harm the others. His beef is with me. Maybe if...Slowly, Rynekk came up with a solution. It wasn't pretty, and he didn't much like it, but he needed to do it. Making his way onto the dance floor, he did his best to act casual, and pretend to be having fun (which was much harder to do when you were thinking of doing it), he danced his way over to Tadris, still keeping one eye on the stranger.He put a hand on his friend's shoulder, a fake smile on his face, acting as though he was just chatting with a friend at a party, "Hey, Tadris, this a great party isn't it?"He twisted, so that his back was facing the gold-blue Toa, "Our friend from the ferry is back Tadris. He's here."IC: [Lux Saran] - Ga-Wahi Shore, With Readra and HakilveLux remained silent for a moment, before saying, "So, I guess with this 'Sentraken' guy out of the picture, you don't have to worry anymore, right?"-Void
IC: KrianKrian looked at Sontarok, having just finished putting on his mask. He dropped the powerless Kanohi, and smashed it. "Why do you want to know?"
IC: Dehkaz"Quite so," the Toa of Magnetism agreed. Having nothing else to say, he took a sip of his drink.Just to give him something to do.
IC: [Naona]"So, what exactly do you think we should do once we finish our drinks?" she asked.
IC: Dehkaz"I haven't the slightest idea," he said, taking another sip. "I suppose do what everyone else is doing and hope its right, eh?"
IC: Sideways (Ga-Koro, The Drunken Sailor [NPC Bar]):Sideways dissolved Crosswise and Rook, He'll reform them later. Then, he prepared to create a massive illusion with his kanohi. Appearing on every street corner, on every sign-post, was a sign, realistic, but not at the same time. It read:
Trouble leading a normal life?
Looking for honest work?
Better at swinging a blade than wielding a broom?
Then come to the Drunken Sailor, and ask for Sideways,
and have your dreams of glory and riches fulfilled!
IC(Savulg)
"Thanks, but maybe you could've given these to me after I loaded these in," Savulg replies. The Vortixx bends down and picks up the widgets, crates still in hand. Soon, the crates were loaded onboard the vessel."Do you need anything else?" he asks with a somewhat hopeful smile.-Mef Man
IC: Tadris"I saw him too. He's just watching us again, in that creepy manner. What do you suppose we do?"IC: Readra"I suppose this is the time for me to have a giant shift in view about you... Nope, not feeling it.""That's alright Hakilve. I really am the Readra you know now, so there's nothing different apart from my past.""So, I guess with this 'Sentraken' guy out of the picture, you don't have to worry anymore, right?""Indeed. It's probably about time I told you, now that it doesn't effect me anymore."
IC: [Rynekk Simul] - Ga-Wahi Shore, Casa Juturna"It's me he wants," Rynekk said, doing his best to keep calm, "I'm going to go talk to him, see if I can reason with him. At the very least, I'll try to keep him away from here, keep him from hurting anyone."The Toa of Stone, glanced back at the strange Toa, before continuing, "Look, I need you to stay here Tadris. If something goes wrong, or I can't keep these people safe, I need you to evacuate the building, get the everyone to out of harms way. Understand?"IC: [Lux Saran] - Ga-Wahi Shore, With Readra and HakilveLux nodded, "Well, I'm glad you told us, and don't worry. This doesn't change anything. We're with you, no matter what."-Void
IC: TadrisTadris nodded his assent, and tried to get back into a dance-y mood without worrying too much about the creepy Toa in the shadows.IC: Readra"Thank you. Now, we've got a wedding to attend."OOC: I'm gonna leave Readra until the wedding actually starts, unless something important happens involving Lux and/or Hakilve.
IC: Sontarok"I just wondered. Why did you just smash that mask?"
IC: VranaThe Avian clenched his fists slightly, but didn't say a thing. Turning towards Ga-Koro, he began walking in the direction of the village that had betrayed him.
IC: CadiasWell. It looked as though Vrana wasn't going to tell him about this 'Lif' anyway. Still one more try couldn't hurt, could it?"You know, Vrana, you're right to not want to talk about him. Fools who go and get themselves killed like that shouldn't even be mentioned. Helping others, ha! No wonder he ended up freezing. You were right to leave him there like that!"
IC: Nirke:The dighy began to move through the water, effortlessly cutting through the waves- thanks to Nirke's master of her element. "Anything else, you say? I dunno, thought you were going to see your friends."
IC: [Rynekk Simul] - Ga-Wahi Shore, Casa JuturnaWith no time to lose, Rynekk made his way through the crowd, over to where the mystery Toa was standing.Face-to-face with his stalker, the Toa glared, before asking in a harsh tone, "Nice party?"IC: [Lux Saran] - Ga-Wahi ShoreLux cracked a grin, before heading back to the beach house with the others.-Void
