IC: Kirgon

The Matoran just stepped to the side.

You know, Maybe I should just leave, this Aexias didn't want me to go along if I talked, and kinika seems too wrapped up in this.

[Joseph Joestar]

IC: Cipher leveled indignant eyes at the Toa of Iron, as he leaned on the blade.

Yeah, forget I was there already, huh? he growled mentally, as the soft, faint red glow around him returned.

The cold was annoying him anyway, he figured he'd not disrupt the warmth.

[The Snark Knight]

IC: Krayzikk used his mask to get onto a roof top, and travel that way. After a while, he saw and inn, but more importantly, form his rooftop he had a view of a scene involving Cipher and a being he recognized from her wanted poster on a street he'd walked through. He decided to watch and see what happened.

[Mr. Peanuts]

IC: "No...," Aexias trailed off, trying to figure out how to prove the Toa of Plasma's worth.

"Hie iz, kvite zimply, a toa hu haz aided me in combat. And az for or next locazhun, I belief it vould be bezt to trafel to Le-Wahi," she said, sticking a blade in the ground. "Perhapz if I trafel under a disguize ant in ze middle of jhou, my comradez, ve may make it into ze yungle, vhere I can heid until ze zreat iz pazt."

Inwardly, she was also planning how to separate the toa from the group during the trip to talk with Zadron and Kinika. They needed more planning time to build her fake death.

[Joseph Joestar]

IC: Returning his blade to its scabbard, he nodded in comprehension.

"Haven't been there in a while..." he mumbled to himself.

[Toa Xemnas of Crystal]

IC (Ezio): Ezio, head of the Order of the Assassins, walked into local Ko-Koro bar. He was waiting to see if anyone there would make a good ally for his order... or if anything would happen, as it usually does in a bar
OOC: Ezio free to talk with.

[Ghosthands]

IC (Zadron)

Zadron eyed the Toa of Iron coldly. He saw no reason to split takings with a bodyguard. He was being paid for his services anyway; and if Aexias wished to give a part of her share of the bounty with the Toa, then that was her business.

He would have said this, but Aexias evidently wished to keep the plan quiet from this Toa who had reappeared from the fight.

Zadron retrieved the long black blade he had stuck in the ground (what a foolish gesture; as if a few weapons in frozen soil meant anything) and stood, arms folded, observing the conversation in silence.

OOC: Zadron has something of a grudge, shall we say, against bodyguards. They are, of course, one of the main obstacles in his line of work.

[Twilite :3]

IC: Terralo; Ko-Koro Bar

Terralo noticed a figure walk into the bar. This figure was...a little shady, but in the good sort of way. He thought he might as well make small talk (Terralo needed a few job opportunities anyway), so he moved towards the being. "Hello there, friend." He said. "You look like you're expecting someone."

OOC: Toa Xemnas of Crystal, that's Ezio.

[Nano Bear Swarm]

IC(Draebe): "Gentlemen! You will remember this as the day you almost caught Cardinal Draebe!" Rain poured down around the port town as Draebe sailed away, laughing at the army who attempted to stop him from leaving.
That was about a year ago.
He had been sailing, well, more like running, away from the cities. He was beginning to run out of food. He put down his Falchion, sharpened to a blade that could cut air itself.
"Day 389: Land was in sight last night. Going to leave this book behind." He manipulated the water into moving the boat, instead of waiting for the winds.
----------
The boat was anchored in Ko-wahi's waters. The crew was long gone-Draebe had gotten a tad hungry during the journey. "This place isn't marked on any maps...How perfect for some new crewmembers." He made his way to Ko-koro, ready to recruit people away from this frozen wasteland.

OOC: Cardinal Draebe open for Interaction.

[Toa Xemnas of Crystal]

IC, Ezio: Ezio heard someone speak to him. It was a male Vortixx. He might be useful someday thought Ezio. "No, I'm not really expecting anyone, but expecting something to happen, as things usually do in bars."

[Nano Bear Swarm]

IC(Draebe): The pirate walked into a bar, falchions in their scabbards. He threw some gold at the barkeep. "A free drink, for all in the bar."
So lucky there aren't that many in the bar.
He whipped his longcoat around, taking a drink before sitting down in the hammiest way possible.

OOC: Draebe open for interaction.

[Twilite :3]

IC: Terralo; Bar

Terralo picked up the drink that this...pirate had just ordered all in the bar. "Thank you friend!" he said, and turned back to the being he was speaking to. "You've got that right. But you've got to be here for some reason other than expecting a fight to break out." Terralo polished off the drink and removed one of his knives, admiring it closely.

OOC: What species is Ezio? Toa, I presume?

[Nano Bear Swarm]

IC(Draebe): The pirate picked his teeth with a nearby toothpick. He then grabbed his drink and began to pour it down his throat. "Good. It's been a while since I've had a good drink."

[Katuko]

IC (Madrihk):

Ko-Koro was usually a quiet place. The Matoran living there were scholars, historians and scientists, not miners or fighters like the other villages. Today, however, there was a bit of a ruckus near the village temple. A Toa of Ice, wearing black armor and carrying a jagged blade, had been caught stealing from a merchant. Though that was usually not a terrible crime, further investigation and led to the discovery of a veritable pile of goods in the Toa's hut, looted from a few travelers that had recently gone missing. It was eventually revealed that the Toa had murdered them, and this left the villagers in a pinch: Toa and Matoran did not kill, but Ko-Koro did not have anything else that was fitting to do with the criminal either.

After a heated discussion, the Toa of Ice was exiled from Ko-Koro, cast out to fend for himself on an island filled with danger. The Toa's name was Madrihk, and he did not care. Walking down the snowy slopes of Mt. Ihu, away from his former home, only one thought filled his head: "I don't need them."

Madrihk had an ambition: He would become a powerful Toa, a leader. He would have his own army and conquer a land for himself where he could make the laws. With that goal, he set out to follow the coast in the rough direction of Le-Wahi.

OOC: Yeah, this was just my introductory post, which I thought I should place in its corresponding topic. Character going to Le-Wahi.

[Nano Bear Swarm]

IC(Draebe): This place seems like they ENJOY it here. Maybe there's some other place to recruit.
--------------
After reboarding his ship, he took a good sail around the island, eventually deciding Ga-koro looked good.

OOC: Cardinal Draebe to Ga-wahi.

[Ghosthands]

IC (Zadron)

Nothing, apparently, was happening. Zadron tapped his foot impatiently in the snow. Why were they all just standing around?

"May I suggest," he said icily (which was pretty icily, him being a Vortixx who made a living by killing people and was currently standing in the middle of Ko-Koro), "that we depart for Le-Koro? It's only a matter of time before some more would-be bounty hunters arrive and I have to clean my blades again."

[Mr. Peanuts]

IC: "Zuore...," Aexias paused. She had been taking the moment to plan, and had been slightly alarmed to see that Zadron seemed eager to get going. "But, hao vill ve do zis? I zhould be in ze middle..."

Thinking for a second, the Skakdi remembered her plan. "Ah! Toa of Plazma, jhou zhall trafel slightly in ze front az a scout for nao until Le-koro, about ten bio. Fortixx, behind me-," while she didn't trust Zadron, she knew she had to make this look as though he had done everything to get in a good position from which to attack her from for realism, "-matoran to my left, and Kinika to my right. Alvight?," she asked, looking at all members of the group.

[Ghosthands]

IC (Zadron)

Zadron almost smiled. Telling a known assassin to go behind her? He would be very surprised if this Toa didn't suspect what they were up to straight away.

Still, he took up his position at her back.

So quietly that only Aexias would hear or notice, Zadron hissed,

"This had better get rid of him."

[Mr. Peanuts]

IC: Aexias made a small inclination of her head to acknowledge Zadron's comment.

"Zat vaz ze idea," she softly whispered out of the corner of her mouth.

[Ghosthands]

IC (Zadron)

Zadron nodded almost imperceptibly.

He waited for the others to take up their positions.

[Joseph Joestar]

IC: "Uh... I'm not that sure I should be in the front..." Cipher said, almost sheepishly.

As much as he hated to admit it, putting him in the leading position would just get them all horribly lost.

Knowing from experience, he didn't wish that kind of Karz on anyone else in the world.

So if I can just imply that I'd be more valuable in the back, or sides...

[Mr. Peanuts]

IC: "No, no," Aexias said, a light smile in her voice. "Jhou are ze only vun hu can lead uz. Jhou are ze vun vith a Calix, and zus haf ze least chanze of dying in an ambuzh. Go on. Be my guezt."

OOC: XP

[Joseph Joestar]

OOC: Push him into it, I dare you.
>:3

IC: Karz, she's gonna force me into it! What do, Cipher, what do?

"Be that as it may," he began, putting on a slight, yet clear emphasis on these next words. "I really don't think it's a good idea." he said, not quite masking his discomfort at the prospect.

Please just pick someone else, for all our sakes...

[Bane of No Isles]

IC - Kinika - Standing

The Toa of iron took his position.
"Besides, if you head us off, you can scream as you die from an ambush, we'll know to turn back." Kinika mumbled.

[Ghosthands]

IC (Zadron)

Zadron sighed in irritation.

"Do you actually have a reason not to go at the front?" he asked.

[Mr. Peanuts]

IC: "Jhou only vant vhat iz bezt for me, do jhou not? Zhen jhou vill get in plaze," Aexias said, smiling slightly beneath her cloak. She was really starting to get impatient, though. Zadron did have a point-bounty hunters and assassins would be far more likely to attack if they stayed in one place. They had to get to Le-Koro as quickly as possible.

OOC: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXP

-The Fearless Leader

[Joseph Joestar]

IC: "If I do, then I won't," he said adamantly, shooting a glare at Kinika.

Moments later, he sighed visibly deflating.

"Guess there's no getting around this..." he muttered.

He looked up towards the Vortixx.

"You need a reason?" he asked, "Well yeah, I've got one."

A deep breath--

"I've got next to no sense of direction. Happy?" he said, his frustration at the fact evident in his tone.

[The Dark Chronicler]

IC: Kirgon

This argument was gong nowhere. Kinika had pulled him into some stupid bodyguarding mission, and he wanted to find his treasure already.

"This is so stupid."

The Le-Matoran muttered in irritation.

[Ghosthands]

IC (Zadron)

"The fact that you are in front," said Zadron sharply, "does not require that you lead us. Aexias or I will direct you."

[Mr. Peanuts]

IC: Aexias sighed. "Lizen. Ve neet to get going. I agree vith ze fortixx-ve vill direct jhou. Okay? First direkzhun: Out ze gate up ahead and onto ze paz."

[The Snark Knight]

IC: Krazikk stifled a laugh as if he heard it right, Cipher just admitted to having no snse of direction. He might have heard it wrong, but it made so much sense. He used his mask to get a building closer, accidentally knocking a bit of snow off the roof when he landed. He could hear much better from here.

[Ghosthands]

IC (Zadron)

But Zadron's gaze rotated around to stare directly at Krayzikk. One Radius Blade slid slowly and deliberately out from the Vortixx's forearm.

[The Snark Knight]

IC: "Karz. Sould have stayed a building back." Krayzikk reluctantly, set his weapons on the ground, and held up his hands. He was outnumbered, after all.

[Bane of No Isles]

IC - Kinika - Alerted

Kinika felt a dagger form in his hand. They were being listened to. He launched the primitive knife up at him.
"Stalker." he scowled.

[Joseph Joestar]

OOC:....

>:33333333

IC: "Oh." he said, feeling an odd mixture of relief and embarassment, having thankfully not noticed Krayzikk.

"Well, okay then." He said, shifting his pack and turning to the gate.

"Alright." he said, beginning to walk, his Aura slowly strengthening as he moved further and further away from shelter.

[Ghosthands]

IC (Zadron)

Giving the Toa on the roof a look that would have frozen magma, Zadron retracted his blade and followed the group towards the gate.

[Mr. Peanuts]

IC: Aexias, torn, decided to continue and at least keep the poor toa on track. Calling out directions as she went and encouraging the guy, she attempted to keep him going as slow as possible to provide the others time to deal with the stalker they'd found.

[The Snark Knight]

IC: Debating, Krayzikk decided to investigate. It had been a while since anything piqued his curiosity. Leaving his weapons where they were, he warped inf ront of them. Close enough to communicate, and far enough not be threatening. "Quick question. 'Course, last time I was curious I nearly got shredded by your friend there," He inclined his head at Zadron. " and I would prefer to avoid that."

[Bane of No Isles]

IC - Kinika - Dealing with Krayzikk

"You go on, I'll catch up," he said to the rest.

He unsheathed his swords. If this guy wasn't going to talk, he was going to receive a close shave. A very close shave.

[The Snark Knight]

IC: " I would like to point out, good fellow, that I am unarmed. Nor have I acted overtly threatening. Impolite perhaps." Krayzikk analyzed the combat statistics in his head, if it came to that.
