IC: Zaeron"Great. More friends of these people; they're cheaper by the dozen." He rolled his eyes. "Maybe I should leave," he said.
IC:"Well now, that's a little rude, don't you think?" Labelle told Zaeron scoldingly.
IC: Emotia - Ga-koro -The Matoran lifted his arm up slightly, and started to bring the knife down....Emotia saw her opportunity, she sent a blast of water at the matoran, trying to knock both him down, and the knife as far away from him as possible.
IC: Zaeron-Ga-Koro alleyway"Well, this guy starts holding a knife to that guy's throat, and then suddenly, everybody starts coming out of nowhere! It's like somebody pressed the 'dispense toa' button!" He was honestly confused how so many people could pop up all at once.
IC: Tillian (Ga-Koro)"Welcome to Ga-Koro. People live here."-Teezy
IC:"Look, how about we all just calm down? I'm sure everyone here has a perfectly good explanation for their actions. So let's keep weapons off the table, ok?" Labelle asked. She had to say, being a Mark Bearer kept things interesting. Even without a Mark."And there isn't always trouble where there are people" Labelled told Tillian. She found his philosophy...disapointing. Then again, he had been through a lot. She realized she shouldn't be so harsh, especially with him.
IC: Zaeron"Two bad jokes for the record," Zaeron said rolling his eyes. "And we've still got a knife situation going on that I randomly stumbled upon while taking a walk looking for suspcious activity! Well it looks like it's found me."
IC: The Matoran was thrown back, the knife clattering out of his hand. Jikal threw himself forward, his mask activating on accident. He literally flew forward, with little to no control over his flight path. He really hoped he didn't run into Emotia or Labelle. Actually, he hoped he didn't run into anyone, but them especially.The Matoran, on the other hand, reached for the knife.
IC: Tillian (Ga-Koro)"You could always go away and just let them do their thing."-Teezy
IC:Labelle flew into the air as Jikal collided with her at a speed only possible with the help of a Kanohi. She instinctually grabbed onto Jikal for support, although he didn't provide any. She landed on her back several feet away from where she was standing, Jikal (whom she realized was heavier than she imagined) lying on top of her. In shock, she still clutched Jikal's arms.
IC: Zaeron"This must be crazy-town," he muttered, shaking his head while facepalming at the events that were taking place in front of him. "Hanix would probably be laughing so hard she'd flood the town."
IC: Jikal"What... The karz...." Jikal muttered, not quite realizing what had happened. Or who he had pinned beneath him, let alone that anyone was pinned beneath him.
IC:After a few seconds the shock finally wore off. Labelle loosened her grip on the other Toa. "Umm, Jikal...."
IC: Jikal "Huh?" Jikal blinked, and looked up. There was a moment's delay between registering the fact that Labelle was pinned beneath him, and his reaction."Oh, karz, sorry!"
IC:"Don't worry about it. Just, do you think you could maybe, you know. Get off?" Labelle was beginning to find it hard to breathe.
IC: Jikal"Sorry, sorry!" Jikal pushed off from the ground slightly, hovering up a few feet, and landing on his feet. He held out a hand to help her up. "Sorry."
IC:Labelle breathed in deeply once Jikal got off her, and gladly accepted his hand. Pulling herself up, she remembered something."Jikal, I just realized. We've never actually been introduced. So, on that note, hello" she said cheerfully. "I'm Labelle!"
IC: Jikal"I'm Jikal, as you've probably guessed." Out of habit, he found himself trying to figure out how to get out of the group, out of the situation. He had spent so long dealing with Iris, dealing with his Mark, that he found being around people worrying. Because he knew the sort of things that used to happen to the people around him.But at the same time, parts of his old personality kept breaking through. Like he was before the Mark, a social, reasonable well like person.
IC: Emotia - Ga-koro - Before the matoran could grab the knife he was yet again dosed with a stream of water. Emotia brought the knife toward her, carrying it over to her with her element, she picked it up quickly. "No blood is being spilled while I'm here."
IC: NPC Matoran"None except by your own hand, you mean." The Matoran said angrily. "You and the rest of your Bearer friends. And your freak of nature husband, too."
IC: Emotia - Ga-koro - Emotia was getting a bit put off by the matoran. They'd been through enough as it was thanks to the marks. "Look you...we've been through karz and back just to get rid of those Mata Nui forsaken marks...which were put on us against our will, by the way. We're trying to move on here, it's over, done, they're gone for good! So why don't you leave us alone!?"
IC: NPC Matoran"Because it isn't that simple. Even if your Marks were gone, which I doubt, you still have hundreds of crimes to pay for. Each and every one of you, murderers, liars, and destroyers of lives."
IC: Tillian (Ga-Koro)"Dude, screw you. Surfers are people, too.":-Teezy
IC: Emotia - Ga-koro - "Some of the mark bearers did those things yes, but you can't put that on all of us! I never did any of those things, all I ever did was try to help people...and then I get branded with a mark and thrown into a group of psychos, thugs, and murderers and get treated as if I was just like them!" The tone of her voice was getting sharper and more irritated every second.
IC:Labelle laughed. "Yeah, I did guess. You should work on getting that Kanohi under control. I could help if you'd like- I didn't have a Mark for nearly as long as the rest of you."A fact which displeased Labelle greatly, though she didn't show it. She had just began to understand it, enjoy the power it gave her."And you, little Matoran, should really be more careful how you speak to Toa. We're the ones that protect you, remember?" Labelle had begun to become annoyed by the villager. Strange, Labelle thought. She wasn't usually so cross. She wondered what had changed."Jikal, so what do you say? Want my help?"
IC: Jikal"I would, thank you. I used to be pretty good at using it, but after months of being unable to...." He shrugged. "It was useful in my pre-Bearer days. Pranking people, navigating Le-Koro. And no one ever thinks to close the blinds on the second floor inn win-"His voice trailed off.The Matoran glared at them. "Doesn't matter. All you Bearers are dangerous, and most of you have more than a few kills to your name.""If I recall correctly, you helped trash a hospital, too."
IC: Tillian (Ga-Koro)"You recall wrong. We saved the place. Can you go away now so my wife and I can, like, start our honeymoon?"-Teezy
IC: Emotia - Ga-koro - "The hospital..." She began, her voice seething. "That was the work of a psychotic Toa of Ice...not a mark bearer! He nearly killed us all!" Her fists clenched a bit.
IC: NPC Matoran"Wrong hospital. Bit earlier. Here, in this village. I also recall destruction of a popular bar."
IC: Emotia - Ga-koro - "That had nothing to do with me!" Emotia exclaimed, then she turned around and started walked away from the matoran, toward Tillian. "Let's go home..." She said to Tillian.
IC: Tillian (Ga-Koro)"Yeahhh, neither of those were us, buddy. Now, let me make this clear: you're going away. The only thing in doubt about that is whether you go away into the ocean with a prime rib tied to your forehead surrounded by a family of Takea, or whether you get a good night's sleep tonight and wake up in the morning before moving on with your life. You nahhmean?"Meanwhile, in the breeze, the Matoran's jimmies rustled softly.-Teezy
IC: NPC Matoran"Screw you." The Matoran gave a rather rude gesture.
IC: Tillian (Ga-Koro)"It's worth remembering that I'm also the only person here who could eat your fingers."-Teezy
IC: NPC MatoranThe Matoran stared, eyebrows raised.
IC: Emotia - Ga-koro - Emotia looked between Tillian and the matoran. "Um Tillian...you know if you did that it really wouldn't help prove my points at all."
IC:"Second floor in window what?" Labelle asked excitedly. "You have to tell me what you did!" She completely ignored the exchange going on between Emotia, Tillian and the Toa. She was much more interested in Jikal and his story.
IC: Tillian (Ga-Koro)"It's alright. He gets the point. Right?"-Teezy
IC: Jikal"...... It's a long story. I was one hundred and fifty."The Matoran glared, but nodded.
IC: ZaeronZaeron rolled his eyes again. "Is there something in the water here?" he asked, eyes to the sky.OOC: Oh, Tyler, Dyzaera's looking for interaction with Venedico
IC:"Without those Timestamps, we've got all the time in world" Labelle told Jikal. "And I'm sure it's more interesting than listening to a Matoran complain about things he doesn't know."
