Corpus Rahkshi

IC: The Twins.

Silencer shook his head,trying to clear his thoughts. "Lerahk poison," he managed to cough, "I'm just a bit... tired..." he trailed off, closing his eyes, "...Illusive's worse off than me." It was nice to see that Phogen was actually looking out for her allies.

He forced himself to look up, hearing Kat call out to him and Illusive. "We're fine..." he managed to wheeze, "...just need... rest..." 

IC: Raptor

Raptor sat down behind his main desk. He pulled out a big slab of metal, his small muscles barely supporting the large block.

"First we have to cut out the main shape. I could do the front, and you could do the sides, if you want. Revenge, you can just hang around or help out, your choice."

Short / Diplomacy Classroom IC:

Short had gotten lost at some point during the proceedings, likely accidentally tossed out a window in the kerfuffle. Whatever had happened, the little Rahkshi had ended up in the Courtyard alone and angry. She stomped back into the school, and on her way back to the Refectory she saw a sign that mentioned being diplomatic. Huh. Maight bae use-u-ful. With a shrug to herself, Short changed course and walked toward where the poster said the class would be. Trying to be polite, she knocked on the door and shouted, "HEY! CAYN AI COME AIN AN' LEARN 'BOUT BEIN' DIP-A-LOMAYTIC?"

OOC: Pohatu, that's you. =3

IC: Rider

Rider drew his Wakizashi to cut the sides.

IC: Revenge

Revenge nodded but didn't move.

IC: Melody

Melody rolled over a couple times.  She was nervous.

IC: Raptor

Raptor started to carve out the front and rear, his mind flipping through different shapes the violin could take. He motioned to Wings to bring over some fibre-like material out of which to make the strings.

IC: Rider

"Try to make it sharp. I plan to have another purpose for it." He grinned.

IC: Raptor

Raptor nodded, understanding Rider's intentions. He pulled the freshly-cut twin plates of metal out of the main slab and started to adjust their edges into a zigzag pattern. Wings flew onto his shoulder, dropping the pack of fibres into his hand.

"This's gonna be fun. You done with your parts?

IC: Revenge

"Are you sure that that material will work?" Revenge said, pointing at the strings.

IC: Rider

Rider kept cutting. "Nearly done, yes.".

IC: Raptor

"It should. That's what my bowstring is made of, and it makes quite a nice twang when I let the arrow fly. Of course, I'll immerse he strings in some other chemicals to make sure they do their job well." He started to cut the strings into appropriate sizes, envisioning the tail of the violin in his head.

IC

What a glorious fight!

While he typically disliked battles decided by powers and weapons, their usage had been clever and cunning in this battle. Both participants poetically falling to each other's blades.

The screamrahk was promptly abandoned by the twinrahks, so I gingerly picked him up. Moving him to and depositing him in the infirmary... Unfortunately full of rahks at the moment.

IC: Revenge

"Ok, but I was thinking you could try other materials as well, they may make different sounds."

IC: Raptor

"I've tried lots. This is the best I've got so far; if you have anything better, I'd be grateful if you let me check it out."

IC: Rider

Rider finished cutting. "Done." He said, putting his sword back on his back.

IC: Raptor

"Awesome. Now I have to mark the sides so that I can partially melt them and angle them so they match the jagged edges of the violin's front. Now, take this tail part and mark it where it meets the longest string when it's connected to the front. Use the front for references." he got to work on his part.

IC: Rider

Rider did so. "Thanks for this Raptor." He said, smiling.

IC: Revenge

Revenge was getting bored, he glanced out into the hallway.

Ic: Hashan.

Hashan was always were the action wasn't. He was in the (insert gym name here) when there was a fight outside, he was in the corridors when there were business going on in the refectory, and he was in the refectory when there were people in the infirmary.

He had had just about enough and was walking down to his dorm when he saw a Rahk stick his head out of a door.

"Hey" he said.

This guy was new.

Ooc: 'tis you Smudge.

IC: Raptor

"No prob, man," He grinned.

"Give yourself some credit. You're doing a big part of this too." Raptor took all the materials in his arms. After sawing off a part of the tail with some savage-looking equipment and inserting a small part he called a bridge, he put the sides Rider had made onto a small contraption.

"It'd help if a Plasma Rahk was here, but we'll make do with what we have."

IC: Fang

As much as he wanted to keep an eye on Hoto, it was getting too crowded in the Infirmary. Once more, it seemed to be the popular meeting place, though this time there were a lot more injuries. He almost pitied Palma for having to handle all of that while simultaneously wishing she would spend more time on Hoto. As he stood and walked to the door, he shot a pointed glance at Snake, full of threats and utter incomprehension at his stupidity.

Once he had managed to get outside, Fang stopped across the hall, unsure of what to do. He'd had enough of the Refectory's smells waiting for Exxan and the Gym held no attraction for him. That left only the Library. He looked down at Venom, the beautiful curving edges dulled by his plasma and the many practice dummies he had sliced through. It needed some heat resistance.

The halls were mostly empty on the way to the Library, probably because half of the school was in the Infirmary all at once. Not that Fang minded.

IC: Tube

Tube looked back at their master to see him talking with Wraith. They quickly turned back and focused on their glove. "She's back!" He whispered to Whakatio. "I don't like her. She's scary."

OOC: Fang open for interaction. Did you say Plasma Rahkshi?

OOC: You bet I did.

IC: Rider

Rider smiled. He was excited to be able to play the violin properly.

IC: Revenge

When the other Rahkshi spotted him Revenge went inside Raptor's room and closed the door.

IC: Raptor

Raptor lined up all the parts of the instrument. He started to put it together, first attaching the tail to the front and then the strings to the result. It was going well. Now all he had to wait for was the sides heating up so he could bend them into the correct position.

IC: Whakatio

Whakatio nodded. "Me neither."

IC: Rider 

Rider watched, excited.

IC: Raptor

Raptor removed the sides from the contraption. He used tweezers to gently bend them into symmetrical positions. He let them cool for a little while, then connected them to the front/tail. After he was convinced they were in place, he added the back and then checked over the instrument to make sure it was durable.

"And here it is. You want some bladed edges on the sides?" He grinned.

IC Kat: following fang out, I say to Phogen as I leave, "let me know when she wakes up, will you?"

I came up behind Fang, "Hey, you alright?"

IC: Rider

"You bet." Rider smiled mischivously.

IC: Melody

Melody retreated beneath the bed covers, not wanting attention.  "Hopefully my quick healing will mean I can leave soon," she whispered to herself.

IC: Raptor

Raptor pulled out some iron crescent-shaped things.

"Just pop them on or off the sides. They're not too sharp right now, so you can sharpen 'em later on."

OOC: I have a school band concert soon (PERCUSSION FTW), so let's wrap this up.

IC: Rider

Rider put the crescents on the violin. He began to sharpen them using his Wakizashi.

IC: Raptor

Raptor nodded to Rider and Revenge.

"Nice having you two here."

OOC: I gotta go now, so see ya.

IC: Rider

Rider picked up the Violin and gave it a test try. It made a nice sound, much more upgraded than his previous efforts.

IC: Revenge

"Sounds Great!"  Revenge poked his head out of the door to see if that Rahkshi was still there.

IC: Rider

Rider put the violin on his back. "Thanks Raptor." He said.

IC: Fang 

Fang stopped and turned to the Rahkshi with a sigh. "I suppose it has been a long day. I've been meaning to say... thank you." The words felt odd in his mouth. This was really the first time he had met someone who warranted them. "I'm...I'm glad Hoto found you first. I can see that you really care for her. So, thank you..." He trailed off, unsure of her name.

IC: Rider

Rider left Raptors room, Revenge and Claws in tow.

IC: Revenge

"Where to next?"

IC: Rider

"I need to go find Metal. Do you know where he is?" Rider asked.
