Corpus Rahkshi

IC: Flash

Flash put an arm around Melody's shoulder and smiled. "That's a very beautiful name, and I'm sure your a great flute player."

IC: Melody

"Th-th-thanks," Melody stammered.  Normally she wouldn't play with so many people around but she decided to give it a try.  She pulled out her flute. Taking a deep breath she put her lips to it and blew.  The first few notes were as shaky as her voice.

IC: Chekquars (Gym)

They shook, and Chekquars' smirk grew larger. Abruptly, he turned and strode out, calling over his shoulder.

"Come. We must find a better place to plan and discuss, here is much too open."

It was after a few minutes of trekking through the halls that Chekquars turned and regarded his two followers. Glancing between the two, he began.

"With the addition of a new member, of sorts, I suppose it's time to create something a bit more.. official than simply a minion and mastermind. Find or create a secret base, or just a base in general. Perhaps even name ourselves, preferably with something simple yet elegant, without being too blunt. That does mean, sadly, that 'Chekquars' Team' is out of the question."

Zakaro

IC: Melody

Than Melody managed to play a singular, beautiful, note.  Her confidence regained she began to play a beautifull melody, full of passion and emotion.

IC: Revenge

The music was beautiful, Revenge sat down, but his heart and mind were dancing with apreciation.

IC: Whakatio

"Hmm.. I think it's worth checking out Phantom-On-The-Water. There is almost definitely some caves there.

IC: Rider

Rider couldn't resist this time. He began to match the tune, rubbing his sword on his arm to make the violin-like noise.

IC: Melody

Melody adapted her music to compliment the new instrument, sometimes guiding him, other times letting him lead.  The result was even more beautiful.

IC: Revenge

Revenge sat, amazed at what his friend could do.  He saw Claws swaying to the music.  He picked claws up and put him in his lap.

IC: Squid

Since Metal didn't seem to be waking up, Squid got up and walked out of the refectory. He found an unoccupied room near the courtyard and went inside. There was a chalkboard and some desks and chairs. Squid sat down on a desk and began to practice his tunes, playing peaceful music by arcing lightning between his fingers.

OOC: I can't write in techno-babble to explain how Squid's doing it. The music sounds like a crackly-er version of "Under Naho Bay" from the MNOG.

IC: Flash

Reconising the tune of Melody's flute, she began to play as well adding to the song along with the other rahkshi, who managed to turn his arm and sword into a violin.

IC: Rider

Claws clicked happily. Rider rubbed the Wakizashi up and down, varying in force and speed. The other player joined in, adding another layer of depth.

IC: Revenge

Revenge began quietly, rhythmecly patting Claws without even realising it.

IC: Melody

The music made Melody burst with joy, and that joy was fed through her lips and back out into the air.

OOC: Oh my makuta you are a genius.

IC: Rider 

Rider smiled, looking at Claws and Revenge. He understood. He knew how it felt.

IC: Squid

Suddenly, Squid got an idea! He shot a bolt of lightning over his head.

"Aha! I'll instruct other students on diplomacy and peaceful interactions!"

He'd been disappointed by the hostility displayed almost everywhere. Squid decided he'd host voluntary classes on the subject of peaceful interactions, negotiations, compromise and debate. He tore out a sheet from his sketchbook and wrote on it, 

"Diplomacy class. Free for students. Voluntary."

and he hung it on the door.

OOC: While my idea for a teacher Rahk was denied, I think this fits Squid's personality somewhat and am looking forward to it. Just show up and leave when you want, no schedule!

IC: Green

Not sure what to do, Green decided to listen to the music.

IC: Melody

Melody poured even more passion into her music, building up for a grand finale.

IC: Revenge

Revenge realised what he was doing and began to do it louder, while trying not to hit Claws too hard.

OOC: Thanks so much!

IC: Rider

Rider recognised her moving up to a finale. He began to rub faster and with more force.

IC Kat: I walked over to Hoto, and asked her quietly, "What does your Fang look like? I've seen most of the older students, I might be able to find him. I dunno what his stake in all this is, but...."

I blush slightly under my faceplate, and I'm sure my voice wavered a little. She'd notice it.

"I can find him and let him know you're here, and safe, if you want."

IC Vaalku

Tagging along, things were becoming even more confusing. His grimacing appearance of mangled metal was not helpful at the moment, considering tensions were high. He wandered in the area, waiting for something rather important to happen.

OOC: Gone for two hours, and we blow three pages. What happened?

IC: Melody

Melody let herself go, the finale was so spectacular she wanted to dance, a tear came to her eye.

IC: Revenge

Revenge was blown away by the symphony around him.

IC: Raptor

Raptor looked at Fang uncertainly.

"Okay... I'll leave for now... see ya." He left the refectory and headed down the hall, unsure of what to do.

OOC: Open for a little while.

IC: Rider

Rider finished with an amazing finale put together by Melody, putting his makeshift violin away. "How did... we...?"

IC: Melody

The music finished with Melody performing a short but powerfull solo, than she oppened her eyes and remembered where she was, and all of the fear came flooding back.

IC: Revenge

Revenge stopped pating Claws. "That was amazing," he wispered.

IC: Flash

"Well done guys!" She cheered. She then turned to Melody, with a big smile. "I knew there was a great musician under there."

IC: Melody

Melody gave a shy smile, she was so scared she was shaking.

IC: Revenge

"That was amazing," Revenge said to Rider, "way better than that junk Metal plays."

IC: Rider

"That was the most beautiful thing I have heard all day." Rider said, wiping a tear from his eye.

IC: Green

"That was nice," Green commented. "Good for... More, uh, refined ears."

IC: Rider

"Thanks for that guys." Rider smiled. "You coming Revenge?"

IC Vaalku

A few small claps came from the Rahk in the corner. Vaalku came over to the group and asked "What's going on?"

IC: Revenge

"W-w-well yes," replied Revenge still overcome with emotion.  He turned to the Rahkshi on the roof and shouted "Thank you!"

IC: Melody

Melody's head was a mess of emotions, There's so many Rahkshi. They like me? Do they? Are they here to tease me? That music was so beautiful!  When one of the Rahkshi shouted at her she couldn't take it any more, she jumped up and flew off in the direction of Nynrah.

IC: Rider

Rider left, smiling for once. He passed a spare room. There was a note on it saying Diplomacy class. Just what I need. He thought. He opened the door slightly. "Are you still teaching?" He asked, quietly.

IC: Revenge

Revenge followed Rider, he wasn't paying attention to anything.  He couldn't stop thinking about that song.

IC: Flash

"Your welcome!" Flash shouted back. She turned back to Melody to say something when she noticed she was shaking. "What's wrong?" She asked worried. "There's no need to be scared."

IC: Melody

Melody flew past the Causeway, heading toward the Cauldron, when she got there she took a quick peak inside, to make sure she was alone.

IC Vaalku

Vaalku was ignored again. He saw Revenge heading into a room with Rider. Had they forgotten their job to protect Fang? He could do a better job observing him from th-

Just then, a Rahk raced away. Oh, for the love of Artakha, what now?! He figured watching from the ceiling would be best, just needed a way to get up there.

IC: Squid

Squid was bouncing lightning bolts across the floor, seeing how far he could get them to go, when a Rahkshi opened the door and asked if he was still teaching. Squid jumped off the desk.

"Why yes, I am! Take a seat and tell me what you want to learn. I'll wait for one or two more potentials to show up, and then I'll begin."

IC: Flash

Melody's sudden take off surprised Flash but she decided not to follow. She just needs a bit of time alone. Her shyness though...

She lied back onto the roof to watch the stars.

OOC: Open for interaction I guess

IC: Revenge

Revenge snapped back to reality and took a seat.

IC: Melody

Melody didn't see anyone, so she walked in, she looked around and than found what she was looking for, a large boulder that hid a small tunnel,  it was a tight squese but at least she knew it well.  Melody crouched down and began to crawl down it.

OOC: Revenge never volunteered to protect Fang. Neither did Rider.

IC: Rider

"Could you teach me about peaceful interactions?" Rider said, nervously. He hugged Claws to keep himself warm.

IC Poly As I sat and stared at the falls, I saw another Rahk fly in, apparently taking no notice of me, and poke their head through the falls.

~seems nervous. weakness. could be used to my- our advantage~

Is that all you ever think about?

~of course. one of us has to care.~

Funny.

I didn't move, choosing to remain seated on the stone. 

How had they not seen me? My armor is bright green.

~preoccupied~

Maybe.

IC: Burst

 

Burst briefly turned away from the blue rahkshi he was talking to, and witnessed a large crowd forming around someone whom he couldn't see. 

 

"This looks bad. Time for things to get interesting." Burst muttered to himself as he began directing his rage aura towards the crowd...

 

 

OOC: Yeah, Burst is kind of a jerk. Sometimes, at least.

IC: Anubissium

"Well, I'm not sure what I need right now. But I'm sure I'll need some help with something later. Would it be okay if I could rely on you?" Anubissium broke off as she felt oddly angry. "Say, you're not by any chance a Kurahk, are you?"

OOC: Now that I'm at my desktop I can start including Bullseye again.

IC: Bullseye

Bullseye had finished collecting wood, metal, strings, springs, and hooks and came back to his dorm to construct his grapple guns. He finished the prototypes and took a nap.

IC: Toxin

Toxin had decided to return back to their dorm realizing that he forgot to hide the two interesting books he found at the library. He found Bullseye napping next to their prototypes. Knowing that his brother wouldn't want to be bother. He tried to step forward quietly to take one. It wouldn't have hurt to test one.

IC: Both Toxin and Bullseye

Bullseye had sensed his brother enter the room and woke up.

"Don't touch them."

"Awww...c'mon!"

"Stop complaining. What did you find?"

After telling stories, Toxin handed him two books. Bullseye first picked up the book on Book of Songs. He opened to find that all the pages were empty. Except one, for the Song of Smog.

"What? But it was full when I opened it for the first time!"

"Perhaps its enchanted to give a preview. We need to unlock it first. Which means we need to do quests before such a weapon like this could grant us anything. The book also requires for an enchanted instrument. Which we don't have. We could pass on to a someone if they provided us their service."

"Okay, then...but look at the other one. You'll be speechless."

Bullseye took and read the other one and his Kraata fell out of his suit in astonishment. It was the Tome of the Dimir and it had various technologies and special arts he never heard of.

"Where did you get this?"

"It just...appeared."

As Bullseye was putting the books in a safe place, Toxin talked about Metal and his extravagant show.

"And y'know. It kinda reminded me of your piano playing. Except the Makuta who created said it wasn't evil enough and banned you from doing so."

"PSH! How does his compare to my music? And don't ask me to play, 'cuz we don't have a piano."

"You could use that stack of leftover materials."

Bullseye looked at the stack.

"...Give me 30 minutes."

--------

Toxin walked back in the room to see a furnished black grand piano.

"Whoa..."

"Yes. And it has some tech elements in it too."

He gestured to a panel on the side of the instrument.

"Ooh! Play it!"

Bullseye sat down. It was a long since he played. But he remember a song and started playing. It was so uplifting that anyone who heard it in the halls was soothed.

OOC: I wanted to add a little personality and individuality to my characters. And also some potential stuff that I want to get when I get higher levels. I'm going to update their personalities tomorrow. And I've been drawing them too just so I can imagine them better.

Also, OPEN to interaction
