IC: Vex
"Well little Matoran, you give even me a run for my money", he said to Krahma, with a puzzled look. "Although I must admit Im warming to you"
IC: Tepi
Tepi was sure Ranama wasnt all there. He was no psychologist but surely killing waves of Rahski and watching others die all around you must wreck you some how. He knew it had him. What ever the case was, it seemed Ranama was down there somewhere. The way he looked at the Le-Matoran was almost as if he was trying to penetrate his stare past his eyes so it met with Ranama. "Im sorry, man... but you have me wrong. Im not better than that, so when this is done, dont have anything to do with me"
IC: Krahma
Krahma waited a few seconds for some sort of response from Dowun.
'Seriously? Nothing?' he finally said in his head. 'You're friends ruining his life, doesn't care and your just going to sit up there saying nothing? I almost feel lonely.'
"He's given up on you I think," Krahma said cruelly. "The guys stopped talking. Anyway, Vex, you seem like an honest guy, I bet you know where to get some Keta leaf?"
IC: Vex and Tepi
"Yes, but it wont be easy until our plan is complete", Vex said, looking to Tepi
"Well then. what makes you think I think that your plan will work?"
IC: Arktizai
Arktizai looked around at the cave walls, the lightstones of Onu-Koro flickering in the distance providing a literal "light at the end of the tunnel."
"I'm surprised nobody has stopped us," the Toa of Ice coldly observed. "During my trips to Ko-Koro, I've heard rumors that the Ussalry has grown dramatically."
IC Zahkon
"Why would they?, If we were all beings from the same Koro that'd look like an attack, but now, we're here for... buissness..."
IC Hile
(Near Onu-Koro):
"They will", Hile said Arktizai. "They're gonna check on us at the gates. It's a common procedure nowadays. The Onu-Korans are protective. Still nice, though."
EDIT: Ninja'd again.
IC: Fexore
The thin Toa of Fire leaned against a building in Onu-Koro. Business had been slow the past few months, and recently Fex had taken to pickpocketing random pedestrians.
Across the street, he saw five or so beings chatting, among them a Skakdi and a few Matoran. A few of them looked slightly familiar, but this meant nothing to Fexore.
He meandered across the road, casually sidling up near the group.
IC: Kordan
Kordan noticed a Toa of Fire proceed towards them. He held tightly to his staff. This Toa would have a caved is skull if he tried anything.
IC Zahkon
He nodded to Kordan and pointed to the mysterious being, and he wispered to him: "Is that, ..."
IC: Kordan
"I know who it is... play along"
IC Hile
(Onu-Koro gate):
"Um, that guy is interested in us, I think."
IC Zahkon
He wispered to the Matoran:
"Shhh, we know, but talk quiet, Kordan is going to handle him I think,..."
IC: Fexore
Two of the beings glanced towards Fexore. Maybe he did know them from somewhere? Perhaps he'd have to change his approach.
Getting closer to the group, Fexore nodded, receiving nods in reply from the Skakdi and Vortixx who had noticed him before.
IC Zahkon
He wispered back to Kordan: "You remember him?, he could be of very good use for our plan, if he's still practicing the same kind of job as before... What do you think? He proved himself helpful in the past."
IC: Kordan
Kordan lost eye contact with the confidence man. He had come into contact with him once before. Once was enough. If he was stupid enough to approach the group then so be it.
"If you remember correctly, he tried to con us, while he did our con. I dont trust these types"
IC: Fexore
By this point Fexore was only a few feet away. He didn't catch all of it, but managed to hear part of what the Vortixx said: "... remember him? ... proved himself helpful ..."
So he had seen them before. Former employers, perhaps?
The Toa of Fire tapped the Skakdi on the shoulder. "Can I help you, gentlemen?"
IC Zahkon
"Maybe you could, we have , eeh a job to be done, and maybe you could help, is there anyplace where we to could talk in private?"
IC Hile
(Onu-Koro gate):
Hile watched events unfold with great interest.
IC: Kordan
"I think not Toa. Im in charge here until Vex is back and I we dont need your services"
IC Zahkon
He hit Kordan with his elbow very softly. And wispered "Where else are you going to find a person suited for 'the job'?"
IC: Kordan
Kordan sighed deeply. "On second thoughts, maybe you can help us"
IC Zahkon
He nodded to the Toa: "Ok then, is there anyplace where we can discuss, in private?"
IC: Fexore
After a quick discussion, the Vortixx and Skakdi agreed- it seemed that they could use Fexore after all.
"Is there any place where we can discuss in private?" Fexore replied with a nod, and slipped into a nearby alleyway, the other beings following him.
"So," the Toa of Fire asked, "what do you need? And what'll I be paid?"
IC: Kordan
"How does your own Koro sound?", Kordan grinned
IC: Fexore
"How does your own Koro sound?"
Fexore thought for a moment. "It'd be interesting, sure."
IC Zahkon
"We basicly need you, to get "friends" with a certain Ta-Matoran, and remain open for further orders."
IC: Kordan
"Then do we have ourselfs a deal?"
IC: Transiz/Tul
The insane Mega-Rahkshi sat down on a bench, looking arond. Onu-Koro felt calming to him. He started walking through the caverns, until he got to his destination. A shop called 'Ferron's Forge.' He entered it.
IC Hile
(Onu-Koro gate):
"Slow down guys", Hile interrupted. "I have no idea what's going on."
IC: Kordan
Kordan looked down at the small Matoran. "Little one, you have no need to"
IC: Fexore
"Then do we have ourselves a deal?"
"Sure," Fexore said, "as long as the pay is good. What are we looking at here?"
IC Zahkon
"Power greater than any being in this world could dream of if the job succeeds and of course a widget or two as prepayement."
IC Hile
(Onu-Koro gate):
Hile sighed. Curiosity was in his nature. Being denied knowledge was the worst thing he could think of.
IC Zahkon
"I'm sorry little one, but we cannot trust just anybody around here, I promise, if you stick with us a while longer, we will reveal certain things..."
IC: Fexore
Having a more materialistic personality, Fex wasn't convinced by the offer of power. But a few widgets were better than none.
"Alright. You sound ambitious... what exactly will I be doing? Getting close to a Ta-Matoran, you said?"
IC: Kordan
Kordan knelt down so he was eye level with the Ko-Matoran.
"The less you know the better, trust me."
IC Zahkon
"Exactly, more order will be given later, but for now, thats it, do everything you can to get close to that guy, and remain open for contact of course."
IC: Fexore
Fex sighed. "Get close to him, yes, I got that part. I need to know who he is, though."
He glanced around at the other beings in the group- a Ko-Matoran, a Toa of Ice, and a few others.
IC: Kordan
"This is not the place to discuss such matters"
IC Zahkon
He picked a rock from the ground and used his knife to carve a name in the stone... He handed the stone to the Toa. "Look at it when you are heading for Ta-Koro, and only then, destroy it afterwards."
