Corpus Rahkshi

Metal / Gymnasium, Fighting the Twins IC:

Metal hit the ground again. It turned out that, when he didn't have access to his power, the power scream Rahkshi was less than stellar at fighting. He tried as hard as he could, though. Metal put one claw near the head of his axe-guitar and the other near the bottom. He simultaneously blocked the spike aimed at his chest with the middle of his weapon and swung at Illusive's legs with the head. He let out another quick power scream, just to test to see if the field of silence was gone.

IC: Revenge

"How is it going?" Revenge said, looking around.  "Looks like there was a fight in here."

IC: Rider

Rider shrugged. "You wanna go something?"

IC: Revenge

"I could use a new book to read."

IC: Melody

Melody rolled over in bed.

OOC: Melody is open for interaction, but she may not react well.

IC: Rider

"That reminds me." Rider passed Revenge the book he had recieved earlier. "There you go. Do you know where Phogen is?" Rider said, remembering wanting to join her group.

IC

His fight over, Caoutchouc observed the fight between a screamrahk and the Twins.

IC: Revenge

"Thanks.  No I don't know where he is and honestly I don't care."

IC: Rider

"Hmm. Want to go the library?" Rider asked.

IC: Revenge

"Yea, lets go."  Revenge began to walk down the hall.

IC: Rider

Rider followed Revenge. They made their way there and entered the Library.

IC: Revenge

Revenge stood for a moment.  "I feel like reading something different today."  Revenge turned to Rider, "Could you get me a book?"

IC: Rider

"What book?" Rider asked. 

IC: Chekquars (Library)

"Ah, but this is not merely recreational reading, dear Wraith, this is research, and not just casual research at that! This is research of a multiple kind, both for the notions of finding a suitable title for the sort of group I intend to establish, and also learning from the past to avoid mistakes of the future!"

The Darkness Rahkshi turns and grins back at her as he finishes, closing the book while he does and placing it to a side, before speaking once more.

"Tell me, Wraith, have you seen any Rahkshi of Plant Control around? I have, let us say, certain needs that would be most suitably filled by a Rahkshi of that type. If you have not, however, no worries. Is there anything you need in return, or done in general to attain some credit in your eyes, perhaps? I realize that you are not just a follower as my dear minions are, but I know not whether your aspirations are that of mercenary work or power and control as Phogen and I aim for."

OOC: Chekquars seems to be rapidly transforming from petty 'villain' to one of those eloquent, yet evil, masterminds. 

I love it.

Zakaro

IC: Revenge

"Any book, surprise me."

IC: Rider

Rider walked over to a shelf and grabbed The assorted stories of the Toa. He went back to Revenge and handed him the book.

IC: Revenge

"Thanks." He took the book and flipped through it. "It looks good."

IC: Melody

"Where am I?" Melody sat up and looked around. Realizing where she was she said, "What happened?"

IC: Omega

Omega stirred in his sleep, rolling onto his side.

IC: Melody

Melody saw one of the Rahkshi next to her stirring and she decided to keep silent.

IC Vaalku

 

 

Exxan that imbecile. If he wanted anything actually resolved he would have handled it better. Even a Fikou is more advanced than that blubbering dolt.

 

Vaalku knew Exxan would report to Phogen, meaning more trouble. He knew nothing of what has happened, and the information he got was a scramble of mixed biases. It didn't help much. He slowly followed Exxan to his room. When he saw the door shut tight, he took out a scrap of paper and wrote on it:

 

I require a non-violent explanation of the occurrences following Phogen, you and Fang. If you wish to see me, meet me in the refectory.

 

 

He posted the sign on the door and decided to first check up on Fang, so he strolled down to the gym.

IC: Exxan.

When he awoke, Exxan found a note stuck to his door. He read it quickly, frowning all the while. Who the karz had left this here? Why couldn't people mind their own business? Sighing, he headed to the refectory anyway. Not the kind of thing he wanted to wake up to, but it was best to deal with it quickly. 

IC: Illusive. 

Illusive was forced to move backwards to avoid the blade sweeping at his legs. As he did, Metal hit him with the Power Scream. He felt more surprise than pain. For a Rahkshi that never spoke, encountering a Rahkshi who made this much noise was just... wrong. Then the pain hit, a crippling headache that exploded through his skull. He fell backwards, landing painfully on the floor. 

With growing horror, he realised he was too far away from Silencer to be protected by the silence field. 

This battle looked like it might be over sooner than he'd planned. 

IC: Rider

Rider nodded. He sat down, opening a book on Kraata types.

IC: Revenge

Revenge sat down and read the book Rider had handed him.

IC: (Wraith)

After shaking her head at the question about having seen a Bomaurahk*, Wraith considered Chequars' next question for quite a few moments...Wraith always had ulterior motives, but it wouldn't do to reveal to much to this pretentious fool for now. None of Wraith's thought process showed up on her face in any form whatsoever.

She gave him a believable smile again, before saying: "I would happily work for you, Chequars." That was all...not even a mention of payment. It seemed like Wraith did not even know herself what an apt form of payment would be...after all, widgets were rarely used between students. It only seemed.

IC: (Snakey)

Snake appeared with a bright flash of light in the infirmary.

OOC: *Yes, that prefix is a cross between Komau and Bo, if you were wondering

Metal / Gymnasium, Fighting the Twins IC:

Beautiful, thought Metal. Or at least, that's what he would have thought if he wasn't trying his hardest to stand up despite the deep pain in his torso. With a grunt, the power scream Rahkshi stood, took a deep breath, and let out the strongest scream he could directly at Illusive. Due to the pain, it only lasted a few seconds, but he hoped it would be long enough. Metal raised his axe-guitar as high as he could (which, considering the damage, was only about as high as his shoulder) and brought it down with as much force as he could manage toward his opponent's midsection.

IC: Melody

Melody blinked,  "w-w-what?"

IC: Illusive. 

Illusive couldn't do much to block the Power Scream that washed over him. His vision blurred as pair seared the inside of his skull. When his eyes cleared, he saw Metal raising his axe for a killing blow. Illusive's reaction was purely instinct, a blind need to survive. He stabbed upwards with Serpent-Fang even as Metal began to swing down. The blade sprang into place: a forearm-length sliver of steel with a lightly-curved tip, exactly like the fang after which it was named.

IC: Exxan.

Exxan reached the infirmary, deciding to sit in the same seat he had yesterday, at the two-person table he'd sat at while he'd spoken to Fang. Fang had destroyed the other seat, so whoever had left the note for Exxan would have to either stand, or drag over another seat from somewhere. It was a small way for Exxan to get some control over this situation. Right now, he had no idea who had left the note or what they wanted. For all he knew, it had been left by Fang, and he'd just walked into a trap. 

He drew his knife, the same one from yesterday, and placed it on the table in front of him, within easy reach.

It was best to be prepared. 

OOC: Exxan open for interaction.

Ic:

Siren then noticed that another Rahk had awoken.

Melody

She did nothing, but stare at melody, never moving, never ceasing, not even when Snake appeared.

Metal / Gymnasium, Fighting the Twins IC:

Metal tried to twist out of the way of Serpent-Fang, but the momentum of his own swing carried him right down on top of the blade, stabbed again into his carapace. As luck would have it, the blade pierced below his Kraata, although it still protruded the entire way through Metal's body in an extremely painful manner. Metal released one final "scream" (more so a pitiful wail) of, Karz, man, and passed out from the pain of multiple stab wounds.

As it was, Metal had put all of his remaining strength into the swing of his axe-guitar. The blade of it easily connected with Illusive's own carapace and sliced deeply into it. As luck would have it, this blade also failed to connect with Illusive's Kraata. Thus the fight ended with both Rahkshi's weapons stabbed or slashed into the other.

OOC: Bunnying and connected hit approved to end the fight by Roman. 'Twas fun.

IC: Raptor

Raptor walked into the library where he saw Revenge and Rider.

"Hey, Rider, I don't wanna distract you from something important, but we could do the violin now. I just got time, and I wanna make it up to you as soon as I can. 'S up to you."

IC Kat: I sighed. "You two have terrible bedside manners, y'know. Save the argument for when we leave, okay?"

I took the liberty of plucking the bundle of flowers from Phogen, and set them on the Table beside the bed.

Phogen nodded in agreement, relinquishing the flowers right away to Kat's wisdom. "I concur." He made his way to the seat next to Kat and sat down.

IC: Fang

 

Fang stared at Phogen, gears turning in his head. "I will ignore your motives for now. For Hoto's sake. But when she wakes, I want you to leave her out of whatever you have planned. She's too trusting for her own good, and your act has her with you for now, but you do anything to hurt her, or push her into something she cannot do, and I will find you."

 

He found an empty seat and sat in it, his eyes still burning. But then he looked up at Hoto, and they softened just a little bit.

He mentally rolled his eyes. Everyone was involved with what he had planned. They just didn't know it yet. He stroked his chin, plotting, watching Hoto with interest. She had a gift. One that could be used to great effect. That gift could accelerate Phogen's plans considerably. Furthermore, the trusting were often trustworthy. He could very much see the value in a kindred such as this. Hoto would not be hurt on this sonic rahkshi's watch.

IC: (Snakey)

 

Snake appeared with a bright flash of light in the infirmary.

 

She turned to Snake. "Ah, hello there. Now, would you mind explaining what exactly our new ally has been injured by?" Thee was just the hint of threat in her voice. Not much, but it was there.

IC The Twins.

Illusive was pinned by his unconscious opponent, and his gut wound left him in no condition to fight on either. The fight was over. He adjusted his grip on Serpent-Fang, and willed the teleporting blade to retract. He nudged the staff to the side, causing Metal to fall sideways off of him. Then he just lay there, on his back on the ground, with an axe sticking out of his stomach. 

Silencer finally showed up, pulling the axe free and tossing it aside before picking up his injured friend and beginning to carry him towards the infirmary. He didn't look so good, either. Clearly his fight with the Lerahk hadn't gone too well. 

They reached the infirmary, and Silencer carefully placed Illusive onto a bed before collapsing onto one himself. They'd let themselves be split up during that fight; they should have stayed together, but they hadn't. They wouldn't make that mistake again in future. 

OOC: The Twins open for interaction. 

IC: Rider

Rider nodded. "Sounds good to me."

IC: Dodge

"No problem. So where should we start?"

IC: Abyssium

"We could probably start putting posters up in the refectory. No matter how disgusting the food is, everybody stops in there eventually," Abyssium said thoughtfully.

OOC:

That is the name of the dining hall, right?

IC: Raptor

Raptor beckoned to Rider and headed for his room.

IC: Rider

Rider followed, nodding at Revenge.

Phogen got up and made her way over to the Twins. Speaking of investments that needed protecting....

She went up to Silencer, giving him a light clap on the shoulder. "All of you keep showing up here. This is not a pattern I enjoy experiencing. Are either of you grievously injured?" She waited for a shake of the head or a nod.

IC: Revenge

Revenge reluctantly got up and followed.

IC: Raptor

Raptor opened the door to his room and slipped in. He turned to face Rider.

"Here's where I live! It's sorta a makeshift laboratory. Just be careful not to step on an explosive."

IC Kat: seeing the Twins all but collapse through the door, I shook my head and sighed. Too many of us were willing to kill each other over our differences.

"You two okay?"

IC: Rider

Rider nodded. He picked up Claws just in case.

IC: Revenge

Revenge gave Raptor a questioning look at the mention of explosives.  He stood in the doorway.
