BZPRPG - Ta-Wahi

[Krayzikk]

IC:

 

The Ta-Toa nodded, notably turning in such a way that she didn't look back at the Lavapool, before setting off down the side street. It seemed, so far, to have suffered minimal damage, but signs of repairs could still be seen scattered throughout. Only two blocks down the street, the shop could clearly be seen; the sign outside of it was a ruined wreck, but the shop itself seemed fine.

 

When Saeva went to open the door, it was locked. So, after a pause, she rapped loudly on the door.

[Razgriz]

IC: Here we go. Moment of truth.

[Mr. House]

IC: (Tarotrix)

 

"Do you currently have a hole in your chest the size of a pine-cone? No? Then you will be escorted to the prisons, and treated by Guard medics there," Taro said to Natharius.

 

The three guards closed in on the Skakdi. One had a medical kit on hand, the other two were armed with clubs, big burly Toa. One came behind Natharius with some rope, to bind him.

 

Taro moved to escort Grokk.

[Mel]

[Ta Koro, Guard Residential District]

 

“Think of all the things you could be doing now instead of trying to steal glances at criminals, like having a cold beer, or lavasurfing, or spending a lovely night with your own families.”

 

Lucira sighed in relief as a few more disgruntled spectators peeled off the edge.  More guards were arriving now, lining up in a loose wall against anyone who got any ideas.  Lucira nodded at them and hurried over to where Tatorix was about to leave

 

“What happened to the other three who were involved in this?” she asked him.

"...I guess I'll stay and talk to them," he said, turning. He didn't trust Loren to escort Grokk safely. "But make sure someone else escorts Grokk-many wish to see his head mounted sooner than legally allowed."

 

Taro added. "Dorian Shaddix is a Ta-Koroan ally, I'll go inside to talk to him and his accomplices."  

[Razgriz]

IC: "Seriously people, this happens all the time. Get a move on! I hear Jerval's got a special smoothie sale going on! You ain't lived 'till you've had one!"

Oh wow, that got some motion going. Well, he can thank me for some extra business. Aren't I a helpful dude?


 

[Nato G]

IC: Natharius.

 

"Nothing personal, but I'm not very trusting of law enforcement people. I'd much rather go with the professional medic here," Natharius tried to protest, but the guards ignored him. He shrugged, giving up. There was nothing else he could do to help Grokk now. He let the guards bind him and drag him off, limping, to the prisons. The medic might come back to talk to him later about Grokk's wounds, probably after Natharius had undergone a thorough questioning from several members of the Ta-Koro guard.

 

Yep, this was turning out to be one of those days. 

 

OOC: Feel free to step in if you still want Natharius to go with you and Grokk. Please....

IC-Tor/Asa/Kedamor

 

When they approach Tor is hard at work making the main sword portion for Casanuva  .

"Morning Casa ,Nunonu .

 

Asa walks out of the tent ready to go .

"I`m ready when you guys are .

 

Kedamor is sitting on a chair outside of the forge just staring at the burnt forest off in the distance .

"I shall  join you if you wish."

[Keeper of Kraata]

IC: "Seven hours of lying on the floor says yes!" Casanuva smiled.

 

He looked at Kedamor. "Well, I can't stop you. And it sounds like you're going to be joining us anyway."

[Zox Tomana]

OOC: Considering you aren't in life threatening danger, Saeren can't try to overrule the Guard Colonel, not when there is sufficient medical capabilities at the prison to care for you. He can still help with your leg, though.

 

IC: Saeren

 

"Colonel, if you can act as a witness as to how the injury was called, that will be sufficient, though the more detailed, the better. That's why I wanted to bring this gentleman along." Saeren stepped between the guards around Natharius and knelt down. "Let me do this real quick, and then I must take... Grokk immediately." He placed a hand on Natharius' calf. The armor reshaped itself under his touch, the dent coming out. He did his best to make it match the opposite leg, but aesthetics weren't his strong suit. That done, he took out his pliers and wrench, and before Natharius realized it, Saeren had loosened the armor plating around the injury. "That's to reduce pressure on any swelling, and this--" he took an iron bar from his bag "--is to splint against any fractures of the underlying skeleton." He touched one end to Natharius' foot, caused it to bind, and stretched the bar up to the top of the Skakdi's calf. The bar spread out, becoming a web that would immobilize Nath's ankle and provide solid support for the Skakdi's weight.

 

The Fe-Toa Medic stood up and activated his mask. Grokk was lifted from the ground, still in his semi-seated position.

 

"Assign as many guards as you want, Colonel. This patient needs to go."

[Mr. House]

IC: (Tarotrix)

 

Taro assigned three guards to escort the medic. "Fine. The Skakdi shall go for testimonial purposes. He shall tell the cause of Grokk's injury for the records, and then immediately sent to the jails." 

[Mel]

[Ta Koro, Guard Residential District]

 

Lucira frowned.

 

“...Alright. Make sure you get someone from the investigative corps to come with you and take testimony, then,” she said.

 

I’d prefer you wait for me, she thought, but she didn’t push the point.  She was technically of equal rank with Tatorix, and she had no desire to get in an argument with him.  The other lieutenant was somewhat regimental, that was true, but he was thorough at least.

 

Then again.  She only knew Dorian Shaddix by reputation.

 

“Hey!” she waved at Jolek.  “Leave that to the guard, we could use your skills over here.”

 

She looked Grokk up and down.  So this Skakdi killed Turaga Nokama.  There was nothing really about him that looked particularly different from any other lowlife mercenary, but Lucira supposed that was the point.

 

Someone, however, needed to deal with whatever piddling contest Loren and Tarotix were intent on having.

IC: "Oh, sure thing." he said, jogging over after a quick shrug to himself. Hey, it sounded like it went for me, so might as well go with it.

"So, what's the pro--WOAH that doesn't look fun." he said suddenly, eyes widening as he recognized the telltale symptoms of "part of my chest got ripped out"-itis.

[Nato G]

IC: Natharius. 

 

With his leg splinted, Natharius felt much better. "Okay gents, take me away," he grumbled, letting the guards lead him off. 

 

OOC: I have no idea where we're going, so bunny me off to the jails, or interrogation room or whatever.

IC: Torana

 

Watching Saeva somewhat impatiently - or worriedly - knock on the door of the signless building the trio had approached, Torana turned to Erzu and gently tapped his shoulder, getting his attention.

 

She put her hands up in an "I don't know" gesture and cocked her head slightly, hoping Erzu got what she meant.

 

What's going on?

[Razgriz]

IC: Parents, he mouthed silently.

[Perp]

Torana briefly closed her eyes and lowered her head, nodding slightly.

 

Best let her go on however she wants.

IC: A twist of his arm and hand cause a chair to form next to the other Toa.

 

 

Lenat- Ta-koro- Mata Nui Technology Emporium

 

IC: Seems like a good fit. Might become a problem for business if the black sheep part means a major falling out with the family. Not enough to turn him away though.

 

"Most of the job positions are open right now. You would get the spot where you could do the best. Got any specialties or examples of your work?"

 

 

Loren- Ta-koro- Fight Scene

 

IC: It seemed that the still standing skakdi had no desire to escape. In fact, so far the guy did not fit the profile of anyone that Grokk would keep around for very long. The Toa's blades stopped humming and he sheathed them before pulling out a pair of standard issue Skakdi eye covers. Walking over to Grokk he placed the heavy duty metal goggles over the villain's face and buckled them.

 

With that done he turned to the two ranking officers and spoke.

 

"They are in Tuara's house right down the street over there. Still a Guardsman in front of the door. I recognized Dorian Shadix, Commander Daring of the Gukko Force but was unable to place the third. Good looking Toa was carrying Dorain who seemed to be in pretty bad shape. Dark red with some gold here and there. Really bright eyes. Had a sword and a disk launcher...."

 

His voice trailed off in thought.

 

"Sounds like Toa Joske doesn't it?"

[Zox Tomana]

IC: Saeren

 

With Grokk's eyes covered, Guards just never ask permission. And he nearly put them right on top of the burn! Saeren nodded at the three guards, and moved off, one hand held out over Grokk's unspeaking form. He walked quickly, he'd wasted enough time already, and it wasn't a short walk to the hospital. Natharius stumped along behind the medic, one guard purposefully staying directly in his blind spot, sword drawn in case he tried to do something stupid. The second guard was between Natharius and Grokk, and the third walked ahead of the group, clearing the way.

 

People so often just stare at medics trying to get through, Saeren reflected, but as soon as someone with a sword and a guard's ensign walks along they part like minnows before Takea.

 

"Skakdi, what is your name?" Saeren looked back at Natharius.

[Hitoshura]

IC: Ryzen

 

I shook my head at that. "Come on, there are better places."

 

I grabbed Akhulii's arm and practically dragged him out, not wanting to stay here any longer.

[TheMegazordman1]

IC-Kedamor

 

Then lets be off Lead the way Toa Casa." Kedamor bows  as if talking to royalty its hard to tell if he is being serous or just insane .

[Banana Gunz]

IC: Akhulii

 

"Hey, watch it! What do you think you're doing?" Akhulii was kicking and slapping Ryzen's arm as he dragged him out. They were out on the stone streets of Ta-Koro again.

 

He waved his arms around and said, "I had it! What do you seriously propose we do now, Ryzen!?"

 

Akhulii grunted in frustration and walked over to the sidewalk and sat on the edge, thought for a bit, took some notes, and then was suddenly taken aback by the loud rumbling that suddenly came from his stomach.

 

He looked up at Ryzen and his expression calmed. "Perhaps finding an inn can come later. I feel like getting to a restaurant can do us good. You said you've been here before. Know any good places to eat around this area or should we just pick randomly?"

[Keeper of Kraata]

IC: Casanuva looked warily at the De-Toa, reflecting on the previous night's events. He might be more trouble than he was worth, but with Casanuva wounded, there wasn't much he could do to stop it.

 

"Alright, who's leading this trip? Asa, you know the way, right?"

 

OOC: Everyone to Ga-Wahi?

[TheMegazordman1]

Ic-Asa

 

"I do "

 

She leads the group as they head off to Ga-Wahi .

 

 

OOC-Yep to Ga-Wahi

[Keeper of Kraata]

IC: "By the way, that anti-infectant stuff seems to be working. Have any more?"

 

*     *     *

 

Inside the walls, Denrika was again getting more than she bargained for.

 

"Yes, a blue Fa-Toa stayed here last night!"

 

She was suspended in midair, feet up. Her attacker had held her before she had a chance to flip the panic switch. He was a tall Ba-Toa, and she hadn't seen him come in, though it certainly wasn't him hiding; stood out in the lantern-lit hallway in his black armor and cloak.

 

"Where was he going?" Skorm growled. "Think carefully. I've seen nasty things happen when my powers... slip."

 

"Uh... Um..." Denrika wracked her brain. "I think he said he and the matoran were going to Ga-Koro this morning!"

 

Skorm smirked. Denrika noticed that black stains on the toa's mask, as if something had been leaking out of every orifice in his mask.

 

"That will do, matoran." Skorm released her, but she continued to dangle in the air.

 

"Wait, you're leaving like this!?"

 

Skorm's mask glowed, and he started fading from view. "Don't worry, my power should wear off eventually. And please, I ask for your discretion in this matter. If I hear about you talking about this, and I will, I will come back and personally crush you in your sleep."

 

With that, he left the inn, leaving Denrika in petrified silence. He sidestepped the foot traffic, and quickly reached the walls. Altering the flow of gravity, the Ba-Toa walked up and down the wall as easily as one would cross a hill. He knew where his prey was. He had trailed him seemingly across the island from when he washed up in Ko-Wahi, made his way to Onu-Koro and heard to find his team. The Toa Kalta. Arrogant, foolish siblings. He would soon take their masks for his own, tear if off of their heads, along with their spines.

 

OOC: Skorm to Ga-Wahi.

[Zox Tomana]

IC: Saeren

 

"I'm Natharius," came the reply. "This was not what I had planned for my first day in Ta-Koro."

 

Saeren gave a small small before looking forward again, his mouth returning to the flat, set expression he wore as part of his 'medic face.'

 

"I wouldn't suppose it was." He kept his voice friendly, hoping to build a rapport rather than irritate with the joke. "You said that Toa Shaddix did this." A gesture with his other hand towards Grokk. "How did you end up fighting someone that infamous?" The forward guard glanced back, and Saeren blinked at him. Information, however it came out, would help both his own goals and those of the guards. The blink, he hoped, said just let him talk. They rounded a corner, taking a street parallel to the main avenue. The hospital loomed several blocks down, now. Maybe he'd get Natharius to answer the question of how Grokk had been injured before they arrived and he wouldn't have to walk in both off duty and escorting two criminals with the help of three guards.

[Nato G]

IC: Natharius.

 

"That is quite a story..." Natharius mused, thinking it over. "The short version is that Grokk here asked me to help him with a prank, and things got... out of hand."

[Daniel the Finlander]

IC: Danaar Kaas (Mata Nui Technoogy Emporium)

 

"Oh, yes yes yes!" I said with an excited voice and started to rumage through my satchel. I could showcase my skills to someone who might appreciate them! I started to speak: "I have studied the elements and diffferent kinds of materials for a few decades now.. My life goal is to find a way to transmute base metals into noble metals, such as gold and silver. But I have also experimented with explosive materials and mixtures, and I often mix metals together to attempt to create new metals.. Ah, there it is!"

 

I raised a glass jar half full of black powder. "This is my latest creation. A stronger version of Stralix powder. I call it 'Danaar Powder'. It's made out of sulfur, charcoal and saltpeter. It worked better than expected in my last experiment, but it actually worked too well because I lost my job, so you could say it didn't work.. But it did! The explosion was larger than a same amount of Stralix powder or any Mado Cabolo fruit could produce! Too bad I lost my notes in the explosion, so now I don't know how much of each ingredient I need.." I put the jar back into the satchel and took out a few notes. "Here I've written down my studies on protodermis. Don't ask how I got my hands on that stuff.."

 

I looked at Lenat, and then I noticed the gloves. The gloves! I immediately put the notes back in my bag and walked to him in a hurry. "Whoa, what are these?" I asked when I grabbed his arm and examined the gloves. They were made out of weaved metal or something. The metallurgy was excellent! But then I looked at him, and it was clear he wasn't very comfortable. I took a few steps back. This was mildly embarrasing.. "Sorry, I got a little bit too excited, hehe. Anyways, I have profound knowledge of chemicals and metals, that you may find useful. Can I get a job?"

“Nope,” Lucira said.  “It doesn’t.”

 

She trotted alongside the group of guards, weaving in and out of the boots and shooing away any spectators, while keeping one ear on what the other Skakdi--Natharius--was saying.

Guess I'll learn eventually.
