IC: Khaed:Khaed traveled to the jungle floor, encountering a beat up Le-Matoran strolling down a street. "Matoran? Not so much of a company lover, are you?" Khaed asked Mar.
IC: Matau understood the pain in Pirok's eyes. However, the sympathy was now conflicting with the crimes that Proditor had committed in the past. He had been banished from Le-Koro, and now had been killed. "Tell me more," Matau said, gesturing towards a chair nearby for Pirok to sit in. "Surely there is a deeper reasoning for telling me about the murder of... a murderer. What more can you tell me?"
IC: Pirok"He wasn't a murderer. He was framed. Not only did he find the Toa who framed him, he found out that he had been betrayed by a close friend. But this I think you may already know, as Merror brought that friend here; He was a rogue Toa of Ice." Pirok said. "The Toa of Ice had been working with a Vortixx, and they planned to kill every being on the island. Pulse, the Toa of Ice, was accidentally freed by a Skakdi, so Proditor and I followed him. The creature... It killed Pulse first, and then Proditor. It was... strange, though. It had respect for Proditor's last request. Which was, of course, that I bring him to you."
OOC: No throat-grabbing here, my friend. Joking threats of it, sure, but no physical assault.IC (Madrihk):Ignoring the swimmers, Madrihk tossed away his hammer and decided to take a break as well. He walked around for a bit, and looked towards the forest. No more travelers for now, it seemed, and no more Rahi. Most likely they had been scared away from the area by the unnatural thunderstorm. Stumbling upon a ragged piece of cloth, he bent down and picked up what was left of his bag. It had several holes in it from Ferrin's iron spikes, and it was colored a murky green after all the poison that had leaked out. Madrihk tossed it aside.Useless, and probably unhealthy as well, he thought.On a whim, the Toa of Ice inspected his sword. It, too, had a faint green color to it, after it got soaked in the mix of Lehrak and Nui-Jaga poison. Madrihk felt certain that it wouldn't be good for more than a single blow before being spent, and that it would most likely dry off in a day or two, but until then, his sword was the most lethal piece of steel in the area. Just a small wound, and the victim would have venom coursing through them. Madrihk carefully replaced it in its sheath. No point in messing around with it.Going back towards "HQ", Madrihk tapped his foot on the ground. It was smooth and seemed pretty much perfect. Kirbati and Solia had done a good job. As much as he saw his team as just means to an end, Madrihk couldn't help but see them as valuable allies as well. This was strange. He usually didn't have "allies", just "tools" or "partners in crime".I must be careful so that I don't get too... legitimately friendly with them, he thought. It would be a shame if I get to the point where I have to backstab someone and can't do it. Like D... he realized. If I had just handed him over to those hunters then there wouldn't have been a fight... and we might have gotten several new allies in exchange for one lost....But darn if those guys didn't get on my nerves.I.C. Vompran watched Madrihk pick up Alfon by the throat.
IC(Mar)
Mar looks toward the coming being and bows his head respectibly."Yes, Sir. I'm sure I don't look the best," he replies before looking down to see for himself.Karz, I don't look-see well at all.Remembering why he was here, he decided to ask this being like many others the same question of,"Have you seen a Matoran of Electricity walking around here lately?"-Mef Man
IC: ArgentumArgentum stepped through the Le-Koro highway, bright light shining on his face, and this time, also melting the ice around his heart...slightly. However, he decided that stepping into the forest was going to be boring. After a lot of sheathing sounds, a magnetic jump, and hitting a branch, he found himself floating in the skies above Le-Wahi. Spotting the lake, and then Le-Koro, he flew over.Sure enough, in a few seconds time, he had landed in Le-Koro; Or at least, the jungle floor beneath all the treehouses and bridges. Now, where was Turaga Matau? He was turaga; Anyone have problems, they would ask him. Unless they felt nervous; Of course, it would be like telling a teacher. However, there would always be that one guy with serious issues or something.A few minutes of searching and he found a tree, one with heat vision bolts having singed its roots. Apparently, this was Turaga Matau's home. Levitating upwards, he stepped on the wooden pads which the treehouse was situated on. He knocked on the door, unaware of Matau's current conversation with Pirok inside.
IC: Nost"Somewhere quiet. It's just one night."That and I'm officially poor right after I pay for this meal.
IC(Sagom)
"Okay; I think I saw a nice little inn at the end of the road," she says before swallowing another bite. "We can stay there."After a few more minutes the Toa of Water was finished eating. She takes a last sip from her cup and looks over to Nost. "You ready to go?"-Mef Man
IC: Nost"Yeah." he said, getting up and walking over to a Matoran to pay for their meal. Nost reached into his widget pouch and pulled out the sufficient amount and handed it over to the Matoran with a typical "Thank you for the nice meal." He reached back into his pouch to feel how many widgets he had left. Barely any.Yep. Officially poor.Nost returned to Sagom with a bit of an awkward smile before asking her "Do you think you could pay for the inn...?"
IC(Sagom)
The Ga-Toa chuckles before placing her hand on the being's face."Gladly," she replies before reaching down with her left hand to hold his. She leads Nost out of the restaurant with one final parting sentence to the Matoran: "See ya' later, Shorty." The Toa laughes before opening the door for Nost and herself and leading them outside."Thanks for paying for the meal, Seaweed, everything," she says, smiling. "I appreciate it."-Mef Man
IC: Nost"You're welcome." he replied smoothly.Don't ask me to pay for anything soon, though..."Now let's go find that inn."
IC(Gezdom and Sagom)
"Here it is," she says as they walk up the steps into the inn."Sister!" exclaims the Toa of Green before standing up and rushing toward his sister. "I should shoot you here for running off on us," he adds before wrapping his arms around his adopted sister. "But, I won't, of course." "Oh, it's so good to see you, Gez," she says before releasing her grip on the Toa. "I've brought a friend to help, Gez, meet Nost," Sagom introduces the two; a bright smile on her face. These were the two Toa she cared for the most on the island and they were both with her at the particular time and place."Nice to meet you, Nost," says the Toa while holding his hand out to shake. "I'm Gezdom; Turaga Vogdam's son and this lady's brother."-Mef Man
IC: Nost"Nice to meet you, Gezdom." he said, shaking his hand. "Who would have thought we'd run into another clan member here, hmmm?"
IC(Gezdom and Sagom)
"Actually, this is why Papa sent us here; to meet Gez," chimes in the Ga-Toa. "I knew we'd find him or he would find us.""Yeah, Sis is right," he says, returning the hand shake. "Well, I'll get you two a room to stay in and I'll be back." The Toa of Air left the group, heading toward the check-in table by the door.Sagom sighs and says to Nost,"Good, because I don't have that many trinkets to spend on a room..."-Mef Man
I.C. Vompran cut more trees down as he awaited Trakuda's answer. Apparently Trakuda hadn't heard him. "Oh well, guess I'll take a swim-dip with the other two. But first....." Vompran used his Matatu and picked up a small stone. He slowly moved it just above the ground towards lake Pala. When the stone was just above the water, he lowered the stone into the water to create the illusion of a floating stone. He telekinetically made it float over to Alfon and Ledzel. Just to see what they would do.
IC(Ledzel)
"Vompran, that better not be off of my structures I just made," Ledzel says to the being without looking toward the being. He continues to float along the lake, a small smile on his face.-Mef Man
OOC: I personally wish you had done the same-a trial in Onu-Koro would have cleared D's name, in my charecter's opinions, likely enabling us all to continue RPing without any conflicts.Who knows, Miraul may come back later and clear things up.IC: The next morning Miraul woke up, smiling as he saw the sunrise. Other than Divan, who was currently on guard, no one was awake. He turned to Divan and said, "I'm gonna wake up Bijackal and go see if we can find a little breakfast." Divan nodded.OOC: If you want to join the Rahi hunt, now's the time to wake up.I must be careful so that I don't get too... legitimately friendly with them, he thought. It would be a shame if I get to the point where I have to backstab someone and can't do it. Like D... he realized. If I had just handed him over to those hunters then there wouldn't have been a fight... and we might have gotten several new allies in exchange for one lost....But darn if those guys didn't get on my nerves.
I.C. Vompran grinned,"It's not." He lifted the stone a little and dropped it into the water splashing Ledzel. Vompran removed his back-pack and dived into the lake. Some saltwater got into his shoulder wound and stung.
IC(Ledzel)
"Good, because-" just then, salt water splashed into Ledzel's mouth. He spits it out quickly before turning to Vompran. "If you do that again, I will bring you underwater and not come back up," he jokes with a serious expression on his face. The Toa of Stone chuckles, now back to his normal self before diving back under the water and activating his mask.Could use a lightstone down here; be nice for exploring...-Mef Man
I.C. Vompran"That's why they invented airweed!" Vompran created an airweed plant, harvested the air, and dove deeper under-water, now with a fresh supply of air.
OOC: I thought that maybe the citizens of Mata-Nui didn't know of airweed...
IC(Ledzel)
The Toa looks confused at the beings ability to breath underwater, but remembers that Vompran could create all kinds of plants. There was probably one for harvesting air.Ledzel waves toward the being for going back to the surface, rising a few feet beside Alfon.-Mef Man
OOC: Vompran's job was a botanist as a matoran, so he is familiar with many types of plants. It's also quite possible that Mahri Nui isn't the only place with airweed.I.C. After a moment under-water Vompran rose to the surface and breathed the fresh air. It was much better than stale airweed air.
IC(Ledzel)
"How's the plant treatin' you?" asks the Toa of Ledzel. "I prefer my Mask over that, though."-Mef Man
IC: Khaed:"A Matoran of Electricity? In these part? No, no, no, there aren't any that I know of. Why are you exaclty searching for one?" Khaed asked.
IC: Nost / AlfonShe's poor too, eh...meh."Yes, it is quite fortunate, hmm?" he said. If I discover she's been using me to pay things off, I won't be happy..."You guys with your dumb underwater breathing tricks. You guys feel like racing?"
OOC: Traxin and Zarrus from Ta-Wahi.IC (Zarrus, jungle): Zarrus led Traxin through the jungle towards where he had spied Solia and Trakuda. Despite Traxin's requests, Zarrus did not reveal exactly what he was going to show him. Instead, he kept it a secret. The more impact it had, the better. When everyone was happy and reunited, he would seem more trustworthy. Then he could pick them off, one by one, and no one would suspect him. He just hoped no one would interfere this time.OOC: Traxin and Zarrus open for interaction.
IC(Gezdom, Ledzel, Mar, and Sagom)
"She's my friend," he replies. "Any way, if you don't know where she is, I might as well keep searching.
"A race?" repeats the Toa of Stone. "Sure! Where do we swim? The length of the lake?" he jokes.
Karz, I hope not...
What was that about? Must be my imagination.
Before she could say anything else, the Toa of Green came back with a room key in his left hand.
"You miss me?" he jokes while placing the key in Nost's hand. "Any way, you two get some rest and I'll stay in here. Tell me, Sagom, has father
recruited anyone else?""I'm afraid not," she replies, a sad look on her face. "But, know Papa, he has someone lined out."
"I hope so, especially if we have to take this Toa of Stone by force." Looking up, he saw the confused looks from the two and adds,"But, I'll tell
you both about that in the morning. You two are probably exhausted.""Yeah," replies Sagom before yawning. Looking to Nost she says,"Well, how about we go to the room and get some sleep?"
-Mef ManIC: Khaed:"Then here is a present to her," Khaed chuckled as he hand the Le-Matoran a Madu Cobolo, and quickly ran away.
IC(Mar)
"Hey, thanks!" calls out Mar while he begins to walk again, not sure what type of fruit it was he was holding. "I guess I should wash it before I eat it, though." The ripe fruit looked delicious to him, but had an odd look to it. Something was...off.The Le-Matoran walks into the jungle to find a leaf to wash it off with. Fortunately for him, a Brakas monkey came by and snatched the fruit from him. It began to laugh while Mar reached for a stone to throw at the monkey."Let go!" he yells while throwing the rock. It impacts with the fruit and the fruit explodes, sending the monkey flying backward. Mar just stood there, mouth gaping open.-Mef Man
IC: Khaed:"Stupid Matoran. Always so naive," Khaed laughed. The snowy peaks of Ko-Wahi where in sight.Maybe I should go there.
IC: Alfon / Nost"Hey, that's a good idea. Let's swim to the other side of the lake." Alfon let the silence settle in a bit, for the effects of what he just said to sink before he said "Just messin' with ya. Let's swim to there." he said, pointing at a tree floating in the river off in the distance. Storm must have blown it there."Actually, I was hoping I might get to train with one of you two if we're going to be fighting sometime soon. I usually like to prepare for these types of things." Nost was hoping one of the two would accept to train with him, especially Sagom."Resting always feels better after a little workout, no?"
IC
(Gezdom, Ledzel, Mar, and Sagom)
How long has that been there?"Good; we'll swim there, but how about we make a...uh...prize to the winner," he says to the two, smiling.Mar continues to walk through the jungle, trying to find Alissita.Stupid fruit carrying Brakas... And, stupid Brakas monkey..."I agree, but I'll be in the lobby," Gezdom says to the Ko-Toa. "Sagom, you want to join him?"Sagom smiles at her brother before turning to Nost. "Sure, Nost. The least I can do after everything you've done for me.""What kind of everything?" asks the Toa, jokingly.Rolling her eyes, she replies,"How about you just sit down and get some rest; we'll be finished in a moment when I beat Nost." Sagom gently slaps the Ko-Toa's left shoulder, smiling.-Mef Man
IC: Khaed: Khaed began to climb up the icy ledges of Mt. Ihu. Yes, it would be hard, but Khaed was sane enough. OOC: Khaed to Ko-Wahi.
IC: Alfon / Nost"A prize you say? What kind of prize? Money? A deed? A dare maybe?""Oh this is going to be interesting." Nost thought aloud, saying the sentence with excitement. He began to lead Sagom out of the inn and made their way to where they left Seaweed."We'll train somewhere a bit further from the village. You drive."
IC(Ledzel and Sagom)
"How about the losers have to pick Bula berries for the winner and hand feed them to him," he says. "Not that much of a 'prize,' but I think it serves it's purpose."Sagom chuckles before climbing onto the bird."Okay; you tell me where to land," she says while helping Nost get on the bird.-Mef Man
IC: Alfon / Nost"Nah, I was thinking something more like..." his voice trailed off as he began to giggle to himself a little and signaled for the three of them to come closer so he could whisper the idea to them. Once they were close enough, Alfon began to talk in a very low whisper."Loser has to fart in one of the squad member's face in their sleep. If it's Madrihk, I'll give all my money to the poor sucker who'll earn his wrath. He'll need it for hospital services."When Nost got on and secured himself safely on the bird, they took flight. Nost spotted a more open patch of land in the dense sea of trees of Le-Wahi and he pointed towards it."I believe that would make an excellent spot to train."
IC(Ledzel and Sagom)
"No, no, no," starts Ledzel, pulling away quickly. "But, the idea intrigues me..."Sagom nods her head before landing the bird in the middle of the "field.""Here we are," she says, a worried smile on her face.How can I make this more safe?-Mef Man
IC(Zand, D): The toa of lightning had a sleeping area ready now, a hammock of sorts."Nice bed. I assume you're Voriki?"D spun around, slightly astonished. "Eep! Knock next time!""On what? The volcanic rock you've surrounded yourself with?" The vortixx knocked on the desk D made for himself. "And I assume your job in this settlement is...?""Hah...don't really have one yet...I guess...collecting volcanic rocks? Mask repair? I...have no idea."IC(Mardi): "Listen, we don't have much time. Love is a...very powerful plant-o-mancer. She could do serious damage to the koro if she isn't stopped."
IC: Alfon / Nost"What, are you...afraid? Ledzel the builder, my foot!"Nost dismounted himself from the bird and looked at Sagom with some excitement in those calm eyes of his. She was smiling although there was worry in it so he walked up to her and rubbed her cheek affectionately and smiled."Hey, don't worry. I'll be fine. I can assure you that if you hold back on me, this will be over quickly but I promise I won't hurt you...well I'll try not to at the least."Hopefully, she wouldn't hold back on him. If they were to practice, Nost wanted to face the real deal, to see what Sagom was like in battle, to see who he would be fighting alongside with. If she still worried herself over him, he'd have to bait her and draw out that personality she displayed at the restaurant that amused him oh so much.OOC: If ever I manage to get a fatal hit on Sagom, make sure to involve in your post that Nost will stop directly before any serious harm can be done. As in, if I do a stabbing motion and you can't block it, Nost will stop before he actually stabs her.
IC(Ledzel and Sagom)
"You keep my title out of this!" replies the Toa in protest. "Fine, I agree to these 'terms.' What about you, plant-head?" he asks the Toa of Green."Wait," replies the Toa of Water before disappearing into the jungle.Karz did his hand feel nice on my cheek. Soon, the Toa was back with two long bamboo like poles. Handing one out to Nost, Sagom says,"We'll use these. I'd...rather not use a real weapon with a blade."-Mef Man
