BZPRPG: Onu-Wahi

IC: Invisible"There's a difference between your insanity and murderous insanity. There's clever, master-of-crime ruthless insanity, and there's comic relief insanity." Invisible commented. He'd been around The Shadow long enough to recognise the difference. "You two definitely fit into the latter. Trust me, I knew someone who was framed for murder." And I was the one who framed him.

IC: [Arkrak]"See Inc," said Arkrak, turning to face his friend. "Even this guy agrees with the fact that us two are destined to be the comic relief of the universe."

OOC: Hubert, what do you think of the Incommodo quote in my sig?IC: Incommodo"For the record, I didn't say that I disagreed." Incommodo pointed out.

OOC: It's rather awesome. Where does it come from again?IC: [Arkrak]"I know," said the Toa of Sonics. "I'm just saying that others even agree that we are comic relief."

OOC: My epic, Shadows. There're links right below it. Although I've only posted the Prologue, and the quote's from Chapter 1.IC: Invisible"I'm sorry, but I don't know what's going on here. Comic relief of the universe?" Invisible asked.

IC: [Arkrak]Arkrak smiled."You see," he began, "Inc and I have come to the conclusion that our humourous actions are decided by Mata Nui, who has made us into the comic relief duo of the universe for the sake of what I call 'the plot'."

IC: Invisible"'The plot'?" Invisible asked. "But if it is a plot, and you are part of it and know of its existence, wouldn't you be breaking the Fourth Wall?"

IC: [Arkrak]"There is no fourth wall," said Arkrak. "We are not fictional characters. The universe is merely a story with us as the characters and the readers. It's like a choose-your-own-adventure book. It runs on plot devices, and we're the comic relief duo of the universe."

IC: InvisibleInvisible, not being incredibly intelligent, was confused by all this, so he decided not to go into any further detail.

IC: [Arkrak]Arkrak nodded, before turning to face the Vortixx who had disabled both his arms."Despite the fact that we are enemies," he said dryly. "Want to play a word game?"

IC: Incommodo"What is it with your obsession with word games?" Incommodo asked, turning to Arkrak.

IC: [Arkrak]"They keep my mind off things," said Arkrak offhandedly. "It acts as stress relief."

IC: Incommodo"So does catching criminals." Incommodo pointed out. "And punching them unconscious."

IC: [Arkrak]"Yeah, but I do not really feel much when I catch criminals," said Arkrak. "I feel happy when playing word games though. Wanna play hangman?"

OOC: Really bad choice of words there, Hubert.IC: Incommodo"Oh, that's really thoughtful. Suggest playing 'hangman' to someone who's just been wrongly accused of murder." Incommodo said.

IC (Zadron)Zadron raised an eyebrow at Arkrak."A word game," he said slowly, contempt practically dripping off the words. "We are the opposing suspects in a murder case. You attacked me earlier for no discernible reason. I was forced to disable your arms. And now you want to play a word game?"

IC: Incommodo"Don't mind him. He's the insane second part of the comic-relief duo of the universe." Incommodo said in reply to Zadron.

IC: [Arkrak]"And he's the impulsive one," Arkrak added. "But anyway, wanna play hangman?"

IC: Incommodo"That's a little distasteful considering my current situation." Incommodo pointed out, yet again.

IC: [Arkrak]Arkrak paused."Good point," he admitted. "Let's play the Immediate Association Game then. You have to say the thing that first comes to mind when you hear the other guy's word. I'll start."He began thinking, looking for a word that would fit in the situation."Word games."

IC: Incommodo"Murder." Incommodo joined in.

IC: [Arkrak]"NEX," said Arkrak cheerfully, looking meaningfully at the Turaga and Vortixx.

IC: Incommodo"Set-up." Incommodo glared at the Turaga.

IC: [Arkrak]"Old people," said Arkrak. "Say, when do you think that pathetic excuse of a detective from before has gone?"

IC (Zadron)Zadron rolled his eyes. He was not going to take part in this idiotic farce.

OOC: Use the Farce, GH! :PIC: Incommodo"Assassins." Incommodo said. "I don't know. Probably to the Ussalry, or Whenua."

IC: [Arkrak]"Death," said Arkrak offhandedly. "You probably aren't going to be convicted though. There's not much evidence."He paused, turning to face Zadron."Join in," he said, smiling. "It'll take your mind off other things."

OOC: There're 23 guests reading this topic. Inc and Arkrak must be popular. :PIC: Invisible"Proditor." Invisible was aware no-one else would get the joke, but smiled anyhow.

IC: [Arkrak]"I suppose that's the name of someone?" asked Arkrak. "But anyway, person."

IC: MekrofHe went down into the mines, looking at the equipment. Most were quite primitive, but there were a few mechanical drills and other pieces of machinery. If he tampered with them, they might explode. Wouldn't that be so much fun?! He walked out of the mines and into the city. Hm, where was the market place. He needed to earn a few widgets before stealing a heavy piece of machinery. Ah, there was a rather large stall before him. Large meant more merchandise, right."Excuse me," he said to the Onu-Matoran in charge. "What are you selling?""I'm sellin' lightstones," the Matoran exclaimed. "They're carved in Po-Koro to be all different shapes. I got lightstones that look like Turaga Whenua, ones that look like huts, ones that look like candles. Karz, if you pose for it, you could get a lightstone to look like yerself."While the Matoran was talking, he had slowly lead him away from the market. Once he was finished talking, they found themselves in a dark corner."My shift, now," Mekrof said, knocking the Matoran out.He went to the stall and picked up a lightstone."Hand-carved lightstones for sale!" he exclaimed. "If you want to light your way in the dark, do it in style! I have lightstones in all shapes and sizes, take your pick!"

IC (Zadron)"I wouldn't be so sure," Zadron said pointedly.

IC: IncommodoIncommodo turned to Zadron."Why not?"

IC: Nex"I am not playing word games with murderers, unless the two of you are willing to confess to your crime, your horrible crime..."The Turaga noted, before going back to before."This building is owned by the detective who was giving me information for my book, Thedarr Chronn."IC: DreenanThe Toa of Plasma walked back to the hut, looking for Nighting and her Rahi on a stick."Hey, any of you see where Nighting went? Apparently, that Chronn guy is going to survive, and they'ye sticking some bracer in his throat to uncrush it of something. He'll be able to speak soon, the doctor person said."

IC: Invisible"No other information. Just his name, thankyou very much." There was a hint of threat in Invisible's voice. I've killed before, I may well be forced to do so again...

IC (Zadron)"Oh, just that the temptation to injure the two of you would probably only become greater," he replied. "You attacked me, and my client, remember?"

IC: Incommodo"Actually, he was the air-head who attacked you." Incommodo pointed out, gesturing at Arkrak. "And besides, there's no-one here who doesn't know the truth, you may as well give up on the cover story."

IC (Zadron)"Take your own advice," Zadron said in response. "But be careful - "He pointed at Invisible, who was standing right in front of Incommodo."I think you've forgotten him," he said.

IC: Incommodo"Fine then. It seems you aren't one not to notice the obvious." Time for plan B... Is there a plan B?

IC: MekrofNow was time to examine the structure of the city. It was a giant dome, carved from the inside of the mountain. That would make a cave-in difficult. He would need some high explosives, but he didn't have any, and there probably weren't any on the island, anyways. There weren't enough machines in this place to do any harm to the rock..."Lightstones," he kept on calling out. "Fancy lightstones, simple lightstones, personalized lighstones, take your pick!"What about a lava floe? There was bound to be one nearby. Perhaps he could find some way to redirect it into the city. The Skakdi rubbed his chin and smiled.It was his best bet. For now, though..."Lightstones!" he advertised, raising a couple into the air. "Get your lightstones here!"

IC: [Arkrak]"Hey," said Arkrak cheerfully. "Is there a roster for all of Chronn's employees? I am curious if he has had other employees before us two."He paused for a moment."So, what now?"
