IC: Myka

"Yay!" Myka walked out of the sanctum and then turned left. She returned a few seconds, walking in the other direction. "Yeah, I think it's that way."

IC: Zyron

After they had left the sanctum, Zyron had stopped for a moment and tried to regain his orientation - he had just found it again when Myka returned.
"Well I hope you're sure about it this time", he said jokingly.

OOC: Sorry for the delay D:

[Indigo Individual]

IC: Myka

"'Course I'm sure."

Two Hours Later:

"See! Right there! Told you I could find it."

[Taka Nuvia]

IC: Zyron

"No, you said you'd know the way", Zyron sighed, trying his best to stay polite. Two hours. Ko-Koro wasn't even that big...
"But now we're here, I guess."

[Indigo Individual]

IC: Myka

"Don't nitpick." Myka snapped. "But, yes, we're here. What did we want to buy, again?"

[Toa Of Virtues]

IC (Nawal):

Nawal looked at the sun, it was setting.

"Should we get ready for the robbery at the weapons shop? It seems late enough."

[Taka Nuvia]

IC: Zyron

"Sorry", he murmured.
"We were looking for supplies. Anything we could use for a longer travel: heatstones, rope... and whatever else comes in handy"

[Ghosthands]

IC (Merror)

"The Bearers are gathering," he said. "I felt a...call, in my head...they're going to the Temple. All of them. I don't think they even have a choice..."

Tearing himself away from the cave whose emptiness filled him with dread, he strode back out into the open wastes of Ko-Wahi.

"Whatever it is, it's started. If want to do anything about it, we need to go. Now."

With that, he broke into a run southwards, gesturing for the team to follow.

[Indigo Individual]

IC: Myka

"Alright then." Myka walked into one of the shops, emerging a few minutes later with a backpack, containing two heatstones, two bottles (to fill with water), some rope, a compass, and a funny wooden carving of a Brakas monkey. She went in and bought some food in another shop. "You wanna carry this?"

IC: Pirok

Nikarra.
The Toa of Lightning was Pirok's friend, regardless of her life choices. If she was in danger...
Pirok began sprinting after Merror.

[Ghosthands]

IC (Merror)

Merror looked to his right to see Pirok speeding off ahead.

"Pace yourself, brother," he called. "It's a long run. You'll exhaust yourself quickly running that fast, Calix or not!"

[Vezok's Friend]

IC:

After several minutes of thorough investigation of the cave and the shrine, Rhow called the Skakdi in the horde together again.

"There's nothing here." Destian commented, stating what they all knew by now. The leader of the horde looked around in the cave with an undiscernible expression for several moments, until she finally said: "There's nothing we can do here then. Let's get out of this dunghole. We need to get on the trail of these creeps before it goes cold entirely."

She led the group back outside in to the snowy drifts of Ko-Wahi. Before they all followed Kahlynn's tracks though, Rhow stopped once more. "Oh and before I forget...let's bury this forsaken place."
She indicated the opening of the cave behind them. "Have fun."

[Constructman: Black Knight]

IC: Merla
Merla continued to make her way down the mountain looking for the rest of her team

IC: Dakan
Dakan woke up with a start. He had fallen asleep AGAIN!!! He hit himself gthen waited for... something to happen

OOC: Just so you guys no, Dakan has narcolepsy triggered by RPing inactivity

[Varren Rehn]

IC: Aurel:

"Anything else you want to know Iegesa?"

[ZHX]

IC: [Iegasa]

"Not really."

[Toa Of Virtues]

IC (Nawal):

"I think it's about time we head back to the shop" Nawal said, seeing that the sun has set.

[TX Wade]

IC: Viloz

The Skakdi of electricity grinned, enjoying the brief moment it took for the group to lay waste to the cave with their elemental and vision powers combined, leaving nothing behind but a sad wreck of what used to be a Makuta Shrine. The Horde had left its mark.

"Lets roll."

[Emzee]

IC: (Tarkis)

IC: The Ko-Matoran grinned behind his white noble Kakama. An Onu-Matoran (who wore a light gray noble Kaukau) stepped out from behind the soft, light curtains.

"Please follow me," the Onu-Matoran said.

-------------

The Onu-Matoran once again took his seat behind a skinny table. He picked up a flat, blank tablet and began carving information onto it. Finally, he looked up.

"It's a pleasure, Tarkis," the Onu-Matoran said, "Are you ready to show us what you've got?"

OOC: Yes, I'm assuming Corciano already left, or otherwise this is taking place after he has left.

[Mega Man: The Blue Bomber]

IC: Zakama

Zakama spun his blades in boredom, "IM BORED!"

[Constructman: Black Knight]

IC: Dakan
Dakan heard the distant shout that had awoken him from falling asleep for a third time. "ME TOO!" he shouted

IC: Merla
Merla heard the distant shouts. "ME THREE!" she yelled. On the plus side, now she knew were the rest of the Maasi were. She ran for the village.

IC: Ningjing
"ME FOURTH, EVEN THOUGH IT ISN'T IN MY NATURE TO BE BORED!!!" He had somehow heard the shouts from the top of Mount Ihu (yeah, I know, metagaming)

IC: Zharuk
"I'M BORED AS WELL; I GUESS THAT MAKES ME FIFTH!" The crime lord sat down with all of the stuff he had bought and waited for Dakan's cue that he had the axe heads

[The Giant Space Butterfly]

IC: Nidiak

Nidiak perked his head up at the sound of the fifth shout. "Wait, who was that?"

[Master of Masks]

IC: (Tarkis)

"Yes. At first I thought of going with something upbeat and positive. I mean I can definitely do those songs, but this one right here is probably one of my favorites. One of the ones that isn't so upbeat." Tarkis smiled. He slung his guitar and had his foot tapping the ground to give him the rhythm before he starting strumming the guitar. His hands began to dance across the chords, as a soft, almost bewitching voice escaped from his pursed lips.

Chase your dreams away
Glass needles in the hay
The sun forgives the clouds
You are my holy shroud

At this point in the song, the music took a harder edge, the guitar echoing a heavier melody as he spoke the next lyrics. His body seemed to gently move with the melody and there was a sort of fearless when he sang. For he looked right at the man judging him before looking about. Almost treating this as if he was in another one of his concerts.

I just don´t care if it´s real
that won´t change how it feels
I just don´t care if it´s real
that won´t change how it feels

Now his voice seemed to getting higher and higher yet managed to not sound screechy as most people did when they got to this point. His control over his vocals was amazing, considering he was still so young of a matoran. Then again he had devoted most of his childhood to this art form.

No it doesn't change
And you can't resist
Making me feel eternally missed
And you can't resist
And you can't resist
Making me feel

Chase your dreams away
Glass needles in the hay
The sun forgives the clouds
You are my holy shroud

And I just don´t care if it´s real
that won´t change how it feels
I just don´t care if it´s real
that won´t change how it feels

No it doesn't change
And you can't resist
Making me feel eternally missed
You can't resist
You can't resist
Making me feel

You can't resist
Making me feel eternally missed
You can't resist
You can't resist
Making me feel

You can't resist
Making me feel eternally missed
And you can't resist
And you can't resist
Making me feel

All in all the lyrics seemed to be rather redundant but in a way, that wasn't the complete focus. Instead more focus during the song seemed to be placed on his guitar playing. He smiled as he finished, taking a few breaths before speaking. In his mind he was sure that he nailed it, but then again with stoic face of the Onu-Matoran it was rather hard to tell if the man judging him had enjoyed the song. Worried, Tarkis decided to speak up for a few seconds.

"So how did I do, because if you didn't like that song I can do something else. I have a range of songs I could choose from."

OOC: Song is "Eternally Missed" by Muse.

[Kaitholas Cage]

IC: "Me SIXTH! Let's go back toward the shop."

[Constructman: Black Knight]

IC: Merla
Merla finally arrived back in Ko-koro. "Oh, hello guys," she said when she saw Zakama and kaithas

[Kaitholas Cage]

IC: "Hey Merla. We're investigating the axes."

[A billion cats]

IC: Skyra - Ko-Wahi -

Despite not having a Calix I seemed to be in the front of the group, I was quite determined to get to the Islets as soon as possible. "I'd call Destiny with my flute...but she wouldn't be able to carry all of us..."

[Ilyusha Blokfase]

IC-Skeldan:

Skeldan, meanwhile, was just farther ahead than even Skyra, due to his having his Ussal there to help him.

"I feel happy."

[Axilus Prime]

IC: "Fer sum extra, I could wall it up fer yeh."

Sinezh handed him ten more widgets, and the wall was present however JL imagined it.


After that, the Vortixx wasn't quite sure what to do. Him? Convince others? He wasn't exactly good at that kind of thing. "...Billboards. Ok, off you go."

"Nah, tell ya wot. Yeh keep payin' me, I keep helpin' yeh, I get a cut, and the rest goes to me boss at the end of each week. Deal?"

"I honestly don't give a scrap. But, go ahead. Start finding warriors, and bringing them to me. Say nothing to them of the Assassins. You may ask them if they wish to make a difference in this world." Or, more accurately, if they wish to make a profit...

Sinezh walked off to make some ambiguous yet attention-grabbing billboards. The Guild was, after all, a hidden group.

[Taka Nuvia]

IC: Zyron

Zyron sighed and took off his shoulder bag. "Sure", he replied, "if I can put this in there, too..."
To his relief, the shoulder bag just fitted into the backpack. Otherwise he would probably have looked very silly with all those bags... and his hat, of course.
But at least they had supplies now! And everything seemed to be there, except...

"Say, Myka, do you by any chance have a map of the island? Or know where we can get one?"

[ZHX]

IC: [Arkrak]

"Let's head to Ga and check out if he's there or not."

[Floridian Citrus]

-stuff-

IC: Terop

"Well," the Ko-Matoran replied, a sly grin spreading across his Komau shaped mask as he shrugged, "It worked."

Terop looked over Alrin, and noted a few things before adding. "I'm Terop," said Matoran puffed out his chest, "You probably have heard of me, island-famous' Kohlii player and all."

With the way that the Ko-Matoran was standing, you'd think that he was expecting massive hoards of autograph-wanting-fangirls to come running out of every street at that very second.

[Indigo Individual]

IC: Incommodo

"Sounds like fun."

IC: Myka

Myka dashed back into the first shop, then returned with a map. "Ta-da!"

[A billion cats]

IC: Skyra - Ko-Wahi -

I sprung into air, letting my powers carry me all the way onto Skeldan's ussal. "Gladddd you're so happy bro." I said with a grin, patting the Toa of Ice on the shoulder rather roughly.

Suddenly I felt like Tillian needed me to save his sorry behind again, "Can this ussal go any faster!?"

[Vezok's Friend]

IC:

Rhow nodded, grinning satisfied when she saw the cave-entrance collapse in on itself in a cloud of snow and ice. The horde set out again, following the traces Kahlynn had left behind on her track. They moved at a good pace and soon the silhouette of her figure became visible in the distance.

When she noticed she was being followed she turned around to see who was behind her. Seeing that it was the rest of the group, she slowed down until they caught up with her.

"Found anything important yet?" Rhow asked.

[Wotsiznaim]

OOC: Cave? Wasn't the Shrine a shack?

IC: Kahlynn

Kahlynn shook his head like it was obvious. "Of course not. These tracks go on for a very long way, all the way down to the jungle," he pointed further down the mountain, where the grey and white of Ko-Wahi slowly transformed into the green and brown of Le-. "and it seems these guys made a point of not being followed. Thankfully you've got me on your team." he smirked, and got back to following the tracks.

[Taka Nuvia]

IC: Zyron

The matoran smiled. "Great, now the chance of getting lost is not as high." Not that he thought they'd get lost. But he had wanted to acquire a map of the island, anyway.

[Ghosthands]

IC (Merror)

Merror kept pace with the Ussal, his conditioned body and active Calix allowing him to do so with relative ease. He looked over his shoulder. Elianne was keeping up well, as was Pirok thanks to his Calix, and Weta wasn't far behind. Before long the air got noticeably warmer, and soon the drifts gave way to grassland. Slowing down, the Toa Astha followed the ridge around, and the jungles of Le-Wahi became visible.

OOC: I feel like we need a timeskip; Toa Astha to Kumu Islets XD

[Indigo Individual]

IC: Myka

"The compass'll probably help with that, too."

[ZHX]

IC: [Arkrak]

"Let's go."

OOC: Arkrak and Incommodo to Ta-Wahi.

[Varren Rehn]

IC: Aurel:

"You're such a conversationalist."

[ZHX]

IC: [Iegasa]

"Conversation is one of the finer aspects of life, but sometimes, it is not required."

[Varren Rehn]

IC: Aurel:

"It's handy when there is nothing else to do."
