IC: CadiasCadias began giggling. "You... you stole fish?" He burst out laughing, bending over from the laughter that bubbled up from inside him. "First... thing... you.... do.... is..... rob... a fish..... stall!" He gasped out, between bouts of laughter.IC: AntumStartled by the loud burst of noise from Cadias, I leapt back, stepping behind Vrana and peering at him. He seemed to be coughing quite violently. "Is.. is Cadias right? He sick?"
IC: Vrana"I would say that he's fine... but I don't really know."He chuckled lightly, stepping aside."Yes, I stole fish. Beside the legal unapproval, what's wrong with that?
OOC: Eh, Com to Kumu. I actually want them to meet another way.
IC: CadiasCadias had his laughter under control, but he still chuckled. "It's funny. First encounter with the Ga-Korans and you steal their fish."IC: AntumAntum continued to stare. "Sure? He still making odd noise."
IC (Madrihk)Madrihk had followed silently for the last hour, breaking into the conversation only to humorously mention that "don't worry, there are plenty of females in the other villages too". Now that they had finally reached the lake, Madrihk was preparing to leave with Kethrye for Ta-Koro, though there was one thing he seemingly needed to do first."Look over there," he said, pointing at something in the distance, further down the shore of the lake. "Is that a house?"
IC (Trakuda, lake Pala): Little bits of light flickered across Trakuda's mask as he stared, in awe, at the beauty of the lake. The sun seemed to dance across the surface of the water, nature in perfect harmony. Trakuda couldn't help but wonder how any evil could exist in such a place."Look over there," Madrihk said, pointing at something in the distance, further down the shore of the lake. "Is that a house?""Don't sound so surprised," Trakuda replied, "I wouldn't mind living here, personally." he added, in response to the confused stares of the others.
OOC: All righty then. I'll let you make the post about our encounter.IC: Alfon"I'm too tired to make popcorn...fruits and nuts would do the trick." Alfon sat down beside the lake and dipped his feet in, a cool pleasant sensation creeping up to his ankles appearing."Once we're all rested, let's start building this settlement. I'm actualy pretty excited to be part of building an entirely new village." Alfon unzipped his satchel and looked at the many rolls of electric-conducting wire he had in it. He was in charge to secure the settlement's perimeter with these but he'd need more."Guys, I've got another thing I'd like to add to the list of groceries: many more rolls of electric-conducting wire. Or a Toa of iron possibly."As Alfon waited for Vompran to make them their next meal, he remembered that he had a fishing rod with him. He took it, walked over to the laka's shore and threw the line."If I'm lucky, I could catch us a few fish."
IC:Fiva"Yeah..." Fiva responded. "So how do we know where to go if you haven't been here, and I haven't been here?"
IC: " We'd better remember to stock up on food while we're in Ta-Koro," Kethrye said, glancingat Mandrihk. " So, who do you think lives in that house, not a lot of beings live in the middle ofnowhere like that."
OOC: I'll try to make a character in Ta that you can recruit.
IC:
(Ledzel)
"It is a house," replied the Toa. "Wonder who lives there?" Ledzel looks toward Madrhik. "Wait, you think there are females in the other Koros? Pick us up some," he jokes before looking toward the ground. It was mostly sand closer toward the lake, but farther away there was some fertile ground. "Perhaps we could grow some crops here?"-Mef Man
IC: Vrana"Oh, he's just laughing. And he won't be if he keeps it up."He glared at Cadias with a look of 'Do I amuse you? You know what would amuse me right now? Hurting you severely.'
IC: " We'd better check that out before any off us leave," Kethrye said, gazing at thebuilding. " It's probably someone else who will end up trying to kill us."
I.C. The toa of the green extended his hand toward a nearby tree. Immediately the tree began to convert itself into nuts, seeds, a few lettuce bushes, and fruits.Vompran peered into the distance at the hut."I agree-think with Kethrye. We should check it out."He looked over at Madrihk for approval.
IC: AurixAurix frowned. "Surely, all paths will meet at one point! So, one of three things will probably happen. One, we end up at Le-Koro. Two, we end up at Onu-Koro. Three, we end up lost in the jungle, because this might not be a path! Simple!" His grin returned.IC: CadiasDespite Vrana's look, Cadias continued grinning, and muttered, "Robbed a fish stall. Heh."IC: Antum"Laughing... you not like this... laughing?" I could tell Vrana wasn't happy with Cadias... laughing, but I wasn't sure why.
IC:Fiva"You know, I got lost once..." Fiva said, trailing off into a long story about how he had once gotten lost in the Onu-Wahi mines, and ended up in Ta-Wahi somehow.
IC: AurixAurix listened to the lengthy story. "Amazing! It reminds me of the time I got lost in the marketplace in Ta-Koro, and ended up lava surfing! How weird is that?" Before he could begin, however, he pointed. "Look! It's the road! I was right after all. Wow, that's surprising!"
IC:Fiva"Of course you're right!" Fiva said, as he turned onto the road. "You're one of the chosen ones that the Great One's choose to contact."
IC: AurixAurix blinked. "I've never thought of it that way! Undoubtably, you are right, being their messenger!" He set off in the general direction of what he thought to be the way to Le-Koro.
IC:FivaFiva followed, showing uncharacteristic silence as he walked.
IC (Madrihk)"I spoke with a female Toa of Ice, once," Madrihk said to Ledzel. "Two, in fact. Toa of Ice aren't all that social, though, so I haven't really seen them again."Actually, it's because they're dead, he thought to himself, remembering them as the guards of the trade caravan he once sacked and murdered. Toa though they were, they didn't stand a chance against a formal handshake... laced with poison. Too bad poison could be traced. That was how they caught him.Madrihk nodded towards the mysterious house."But enough of that. Let's check that place out. It's the only house I've ever seen this far away from the Koros, so most likely it belongs to someone else who doesn't like to be around people. Considering that we're going to make this place quite busy, we better tell him, her or them that they are getting some new neighbors."
IC
(Ledzel)
"Okay, Cap'n," replies the Toa of Stone. He sets his launcher on the rock he was sitting on before approaching the house. He rests his hand on his cutlas as they approach the small cottage."Permission to take point?"-Mef Man
IC (Madrihk)"Sure, go ahead. I'm not of much use right now anyways."
IC: Alfon"I'm dead tired so if something jumps out and tries to tear us apart, I'm not going to be happy..." said Alfon as he set down his fishing rod by the shore and joined the group, sword and hand.OOC: I'll make a character as well which will be in Ta-Koro. I'll let you know who it is once I'm done creating him/her.
IC:Now that we're all done exchanging pleasantries and all, I'd like to get down to business". Zaveno said to the group. "We should hunt Madrihk down soon. The sooner I've repaid him for what he did to my friend the sooner I can be at peace."-![]()
I.C. Vompran walked towards the house expecting the others to follow.
IC: Onyx"Wouldn't I love to leave as well. It says the group's supposed to travel to the south-eastern coast, If I'm not mistaken."Also meaning the sooner we leave, the sooner I get to see my brother.
IC: Kethrye followed Vompran toward the hut. He drew his axe, keeping an eye out for any possible hostiles. " I wonder who lives here, out here away from any of the villages." He remarked.
IC
(Ledzel)
Ledzel reaches the cottage first, cutlas now in hand. He still had it lowered, as to not pose a threat, but, as Alfon, he was tired of being attacked and wanted to be ready this time.He raps his saber on the door. "Little Gukko little Gukko, let me in," he says in a singing kind of voice. "Uh, is anyone home?" he asks, automaticlly feeling stupid for the story book reference.-Mef Man
IC: AlfonThe group waited in front of the hut for a while until Alfon's patience went dry. He moved Ledzel aside and kicked the door down, backing up with his sword pointed towards the entrance, prepared to strike down whatever possible threat to be inside as the light flooded the hut.
OOC: The Fearless Leader got a Matoran inside, so I would say we should leave him to open the door. You waited not even 5 real-life minutes for someone to respond, TX. Give him a chance to get online, at least. :)IC (Ferrin)"I agree, we should set out to find him as soon as possible," Ferrin said. "I've got some experience with finding people hiding, though, and I suggest that we send a scout first. Le-Koro have plenty of skilled Gukko riders that can spot people in the jungle form high above. We shouldn't just set off into the jungle before narrowing down the search."
IC
(Ledzel)
"What the Karz?" says Ledzel as Alfon kicks down the door. "Nice," says the Toa, sarcasticlly. "Who lives here, any way? I don't think we should be kicking down their door, though, either way."-Mef Man
OOC: My bad, I'll be more patient next time
IC: Onyx"Question is, who's paying to send out the Gukko Rider to scout?"
IC (Ferrin)"I will. I did mention I am in the trade business, right? Very profitable."EDIT: By the way, I've updated our profiles again. I stashed the infected Kakama in Alfon's inventory for the time being.
IC: Ziraul saw Diavn and Miraul shoot into a nearby inn. He turned, firing a sonic signal for Bijackal and Tirax to get up to Le-Koro from the jungle floor. The two scurried up, and ran towards the inn with Zirual.OOC: Nitro, I located and fired a few potshots at you on page 54, just so you know.
IC(D): Urk...why can't I move?He noticed a new mark on the wall, where a burst of magnetism just missed his head."Hey...Inny. Mind to help a bit?""OI! OI! There is ta be no fightin' in this inn. Now, release ma friend 'ere, and we'll be havin' no trouble." The guard in the inn walked towards the two.
IC
(Ledzel)
The Toa of Stone looks up toward the sky and the canopies of the trees."Be easier to spot this 'being' on foot. Canopy's too thick. And, no one has answered my question. Who lives here?"OOC: Post editted.-Mef Man
OOC: I will allow myself an OOC-only post just to clear this up quickly: Ferrin's the guy in the trade business, not Madrihk. ![]()
I.C. Vompran put the door back on its hinges and used his
to jam it into place"You do realize I could have unlock-opened the door with my mask, right Alfon?"
IC: Alfon"Whatever..." mumbled Alfon. "Hello? Anyone living here?"
IC: VranaHe leaned closer to Cadias, a snarl on his face. He was getting angry now."I said I never killed anyone, I never said I wouldn't brutally injure them."He flicked his clawed hands violently, he didn't reply to Antum.
