IC: (Ayna) ​"A shop a little ways down. You know, since you're looking for a place to meet other adventurers, maybe you could come with me and see if you find anything along the way."

IC: (Ayna) ​"Mm, no. Adventuring's not really my thing." She glanced over at his arm. ​"...somethin' happen to you?"

IC: (Datrox) ​"That's true. I'm sure there's lots of people outraged over the current state in Ko that'd be willing to join such a movement." ​He turned to Cyramar. ​"...oh hey, patchwork. Forgot you were there." ​... "You wouldn't have any experience with, say, attacking a fortified city controlled by the forces of darkness, would you?" ​IC: (Ranir) ​"Er...I'd rather just go inside and check on Wasuka." She leaped off of the roof. ​"Thanks for the fight, though." ​IC: (Ayna Vershak) ​The Onu-Matoran strolled through the streets of Ga-Koro. Not paying much attention to where she was going as she attempted to find a specific shop, she soon bumped into a lanky Toa of Air wearing a Ruru. ​"Ah, sorry." ​OOC: 'Sup Bonkle. Ayna OFI. Apparently I forgot how to spell her name literally right after making her, I'll just go with the original spelling of Ayna instead of Anya.

STEVEN NO

Level 21 (rank/xp) or Level 21 (MMR/competitive)? Currently rank 98 here, can confirm that there are excellent level 30s and terrible level 150s, haha. That said I agree that there's a ramp-up for those first ~25 levels. After that, level starts to correlate more to just time played vs. innate skill. They won't get harder forever. Level 21 In rank. It's starting to even out and isn't as hard now but it was jarring at first.

Iruini.

My Geraldine Lies Over The Delaware - The Wonder Years. I don't care that the band hates this album, this song and 'Bout To Get Fruit Punched, Homie are catchy as heck. EDIT: You Are The Coffin - Flatsound. ​I've been meaning to listen to Flatsound again since Mitch is a real cool guy and his music helped me out a lot during a rough period last year. This song's always been a favorite of mine.

I didn't even notice the lack of a Technic logo or the slightly different design. Must be why it's so appealing.

Oh yeah, I remember seeing this thing a while back somewhere. There may have been a BZP post about it in the past. You found one at a thrift shop, though? Like, the box or the whole dang thing?

I found a Pohatu Nuva in the clearance section at a Wal-Mart around that same time. Huh, weird. ​MAYBE IT WAS THE SAME ONE ​I actually bought mine though. Even then I thought it was weird. Also got an Axonn at a Tuesday Morning in...2008? 2009? (they had like six) Also got a Knights Kingdom set from there once around the same time. Needless to say, it raised my expectations for what could be found at Tuesday Morning briefly before I realized those were just one-off finds. ​Actually I just remembered while writing this that a Rite-Aid near me had Jaller Inika and, I think, Hakann (it may have been somewhere else that had him) circa 2008 as well. I ended up receiving both as gifts as they apparently never sold. ​...I've had way more lucky finds then I thought.

Boooy I'm so hype for Ana. Her sniper functions exactly how I originally expected Lucio's weapon to work (direct heal instead of AoE). ​also mei's fun too but people overuse ice walls and have a habit of blocking their own team with it ​I played more Overwatch and the skill level change once you reach lvl 21 is very noticeable, jesus. Also to the Tracer who targeted me for like 3-4 consecutive matches last night: screw you. I also played some Hanzo and when I get into the zone as him he is ridiculously fun.

IC: (Datrox) ​"Yeah, it's not. Maybe we should do something about it." ​He stared at his drink. "Maybe."

yay

OOC: We're on the roof tho. IC: (Datrox) ​"You don't...know? Christ, did you just get on this island or something? Ko-Koro's under the control of a bunch of Makuta worshipping has-beens." ​IC: (Ranir) ​She struggled. "What the--?" ​

IC: (Datrox) "Liberate Ko-Koro? That's a goal. Or maybe a death wish. One of 'em."

IC: (Datrox) ​"I like it. Simple and to the point." ​He cut off a bite of steak before turning his attention back to his companion. "Any specific goals we wish to accomplish during this adventure?"

That's some pretty fancy tech you got there. Might need it approved. Thank you. ​Also friggin' reply in Ga, I've been meaning to PM you but keep forgetting.

good safety net in case someone else didn't tbh, plus excitement ​ANYWAYS happy day of coming into this world and all that. Adulthood is cool, I hear.

IC: (Ranir) ​"Mm, I know. I take full responsiblity if this results in bodily injury for myself." ​She sheathed her knife and teleported behind Azureus once more, raising both fists above her head, clasped together, to deliver a two handed punch down on his head. ​"For you, not so much."

IC: (Ranir) ​She put her knife to his neck. ​"Trust me, if there was internal damage I'd feel it. We're resuming the fight."

Dead on Arrival - Fall Out Boy.

OOC: How on earth would they have passed through her? You never even established the idea of your swords being "set to stun" previously, unless I missed something, too. ​And don't forget to add IC. You probably rushed to post this but still. I don't want to keep doing OOC stuff so I'll just start PMing you at this point. ​IC: (Ranir) ​She stumbled as she stopped herself from finishing her attack. ​"Clearly you did something wrong," she said, still behind him. ​"Now, are we going to finish this fight or not?"

IC: (Ranir) ​You know, when you simply want to spar with people, you don't do things that could result in injury. ​With no time to react due to her opponent's sudden burst of speed, the blades struck her chest armor, knocking her back and leaving a noticeable gash in it. ​"Getting a little aggressive, are we?" ​She played around with her knife in her hand, before teleporting behind Azureus, intent on slashing his back.

Voriki's not real, Morty. He's *burp* just a--a fan leak from way back then, M-Morty! He's got nothin' to do with G-G2!
