OOC: Datrox never drew his sword tho IC: (Datrox) ​Well, #####. Datrox glanced over at Sorox, mouthing a quick "sorry" before turning back to Viloz and Cyramar. ​"Uh, hi. I just want you to know this isn't the first time I've been held at gun..." ​He looked over at Aki. ​"...and swordpoint. And that this was not the attention I was looking for." ​He pointed at Sorox. ​"My friend here, me and him were just hungry. We walked in, tried to act tough, didn't get any service. I maaay have taken it to far, but this guy egged me on." Datrox sighed. This all sounded absolutely ridiculous. ​"Look, we just want some food. See, I didn't even take my sword out. If I did, then you would know I meant business. Besides---what kinda guy calls people 'primitive screwheads,' anyway?"

IC: (Datrox) ​Datrox gave a quick thumbs-up before suddenly kicking a chair over. ​"Alright you primitive screwheads, listen up! Me and my friend are hungry, and if we don't get any service soon, I'm gonna have to introduce somebody to my sword."

IC: (Datrox) "I was joking, but if you really want me to..."

IC: (Kaen) ​"Yeah, I'd love to see how this plays out."

ointments

IC: (Datrox) ​"Maybe we should physically assault someone. That seems to grab people's attentions on this island."

IC: (Kaen) ​this whole situation is a mess

The sunglasses on the woman look kinda...off, from here. Makes her look like she has weird glowy eyes, like something from Bioshock. ​wait I have to make a joke ​uh ​PFFT, historic figures??? More like, his-BORE-ic figures, AMIRITE

IC: (Kaen) ​He whispered back, keeping completely still as not to arouse suspicion. ​"Are you trying to get me arrested?! This guy's already ticked her off enough."

I thought flick-fire missiles weren't a thing anymore? Unless I'm just out of the loop.

Pretty much all my Bionicle/CCBS parts are in boxes under my bed, completely uncategorized. Whenever I MOC it makes it kinda...difficult. ​My G2 sets are sitting on a shelf. Very top, because they deserve it I guess. Can't bring myself to take 'em apart yet, mostly because I don't have any of their 2016 incarnations yet.

IC: (Kaen) ​IS HE FLIRTING WITH THE COP?! ​At this point, Kaen had a feeling that clean or not, they would all be screwed if the newcomer didn't stop soon.

IC: (Kaen) ​The Toa of Air watched Torak put his arm around Ferellis. spirit almighty we're all getting sent to jail

get these darn ads outta here

New chapter up, and some edits made to chapter two to fix some issues. ​I don't think "multiversal" is a word, but it feels like it should be.

CHAPTER THREE ​Suspicious glares were cast as Idlyx Haeve calmly marched through Po-Metru. Although many passersby knew he didn't belong, he didn't exactly look someone you wanted to bother, so they kept to themselves. Obviously, visitors from other islands wasn't unheard of, but Idlyx was different. There was something off about him. The odd mask he carried around didn't help. ​The glares stopped once he was on the outskirts of the Metru. He headed into a nearby canyon, looking for something. That something was a place--a cavern. Which there were quite a few of in Po-Metru, but this one was different. It was important to the plans that the Dark Hunter had, ones that escaped the knowledge of the team that had been sent to stop him, and who were getting into far more than they expected. ​***** "I'm not getting in that." ​Datrox stood before the entrance of one of the islands many chute systems. "It's the fastest way of getting there," Nale said. Datrox pointed at Kavi. "Can't he just carry us?" ​"Mask powers don't last forever," the Toa of Air began, "and I am not carrying two full-sized Toa with me." ​"But maybe if you just--" ​"Officer Karvan," Nale interrupted, "just get in the chute." ​T​he Toa of Fire sighed. "Fine, and just call me Datrox. Just because we don't know each other well doesn't mean you have to be so formal. We're a Toa team." ​"I'll respectfully disagree, Officer Karvan." Nale followed this by shoving Datrox into the chute. Kavi jumped in with him, laughing, with Nale not too far behind. Soon, the three found themselves in Po-Metru, with Datrox coming out and landing on his face. Kavi helped him up. "Man, you look like you just saw Tren Krom." ​A shaken Toa of Fire pushed his teammate away. "Sh-shut up. I'm fine." ​He took two steps before stumbling and almost falling on his face again. ​"...or not." ​***** ​Before the three had even begun their search for the Olmak thief, they discovered the dead body of a Po-Matoran guard, surrounded by local law enforcement. They passed on by, not wanting to draw their attention. "Looks like he already got in," Nale said, "but what is he even doing here?" ​"Maybe he likes nice statues," Datrox joked, admiring the workmanship of the Metru's inhabitants. A fairly tall one in the distance caught his attention--it was outside the Metru, and stood alone near some canyons. "There's lots of caves here. Maybe he's hiding." He looked past the statue. The Toa of Fire remembered something he had read years ago as he surveyed the landscape. ​"Or he's looking for something." ​He remembered what Vantos said about a cataclysm that had occurred in other dimensions. That the Dark Hunter might be trying to cause one here. It all started to piece together in his head. ​"Or someone." ​Datrox rushed past Nale and Kavi. "What is it?" the latter asked, quickening his pace. "What's the fastest way to get around the Metru?" Datrox asked, slowing down a bit. Nale caught up with him. "Why do you ask?" ​"Because I think I just figured out our Olmak thief's plan." ​***** ​To the untrained eye, there was nothing out of the ordinary about the cavern wall. ​To the trained eye, it held the key to multiversal domination. ​The Dark Hunter found a hidden switch and activated it, watching with glee as the wall moved, and opened, revealing itself to be a door. And on the other side... ...was the lair of Makuta Teridax.

Backlot was good, even though I could never figure out what I was supposed to do, and even when I did it didn't seem to work. ​Also liked trying to get my character run over by the cars. The open world-ish nature of the game was neat. ​oh and junkbot but come on everybody picks it

If you want to draw something, but don't know how, just use reference. You would not believe how many people do not do this, or even consider it "cheating." ​And speaking of, if you want to get good at drawing, just practice. Too many people think that art is some innate skill you unlock, and not something you work at. If your work isn't that good at first, don't get discouraged. You aren't born Van Gogh. ​Correct me if this is wrong, but if someone is choking on something, they should not be able to speak. So, if you see someone like, eating something and then coughing, but they can totally still talk, they're probably just having a coughing fit. Don't take any chances though, if the body language indicates they're not OK.

IC: (Kaen) ​"Whoa whoa, you're just gonna drop all this on Vantul and Kantok? Vantul didn't even do anything! See, this is why I should be leader..."

This actually isn't true. Most people I've read theories from in places like S&T and even on tvtropes come from people who like the franchise in question. To write a theory, you have to have a desire to find out more about a particular thing, and you usually don't want to find out more about stuff you don't like. For example, in school, do you want to find out more about math if you hate math. Someone who hates multiplication isn't going to research it and write theories about it. Do you think up theories over topics that teachers assign you in school for research papers? You probably don't. Criticism is not the same as a theory. Criticism comes from wanting to make something better; theories come from wanting to know more, and insults come from not wanting to understand something at all. What on earth are you talking about? Re-read my post, that's not what I meant at all. I clearly was talking about people who theorize about franchises hate "(good guy) is actually EVIL" theories. Congrats, you just totally took my post out of context. *facepalm* Okay, I guess this place be the exception to that rule, hmm. The Bionicle G2 story so far is so boring we're hoping for ANY plot twist, that one included. But there's not enough evidence for it. Maybe a few things here and there but that's because of personal canon interpretations, not something in the actual story, or even in the realms of *shudder* author intent. ​I just doubt overall that there'll be a big twist in G2 since the last one took ten frickin' years to complete. The story's shallow, yeah, but I think it's because LEGO doesn't want to go "into the deep end" again so to speak. If there's ANY kind of twist, I don't think it'll be something as cliché and silly either. ​Also, of course autocorrect starts adding diacritics to my posts now. Great.

IC: (Kaen) ​"I just want to say I had nothing to do with this, Officer."

IC: (Kaen) ​The Toa of Air debated raising his own hand.

OOC: The two words are very similar and "disparate" resembles a common misspelling of "desperate," so it's understandable. ​IC: (Kaen) ​"Show of hands, of course."
