IC:

"Big sis, huh?" The unclear question was punctuated by the sound of rifling and triumph. A moment later, the Ta-Toa returned with a few glasses and held two out to Torana. "Fill 'em up, Sparky. Y'get one, I get the other, and Erzu and Redhot can ask nicely."

On this eve, the thirtieth anniversary of that first colony, many are left to wonder; is the world fast approaching a breaking point?

"I don't drink any more," Redhot said modestly, but for the first time there was a darker undercurrent to his words.

 

IC:

 

"We only have a bit more on their powers and some personality speculation," he said. "I can give the Captain an iStone loaded up with everything we know, we've been passing them around the Guard like hotcakes lately."

“I've worked in Ta-Koro before,” I said. “That's all.”
 
Karz, I needed a drink.
 
The air was hot and stuffy and dry. I hated it; you could feel a nosebleed waiting just out of reach. Blood. This whole city stank of it. This whole god##### village was drowning in hot, reeking red blood. Could nobody else see it? The walls were painted crimson; the floor was puddled in scarlet; the air itself was thick with a fine red mist. Was I the only one who was having trouble breathing?
 
Everywhere I looked I saw them. The people I'd killed weren't dead. I'd murdered them but they were still alive, hovering at the edges of my vision, not talking or nothing. Not even breathing or blinking. Just waiting. Waiting for what? I don't know. I didn't know then and I don't know now. For me to crack? Snap under the pressure like an old piece of iron, pitted with rust from all the #####ing blood she'd spilled? Or were they waiting for me to drown in this heat? Sweat dripped. Their faces swam before me. No judgment. No accusations. I hated it. I hated it i hate it i hate i hate it
 
...
 
if he'd just
 
if he'd just told me
              he hated me
                        i could live with it
 
but
no
 


he        didn't have the mercy to hate me

vakama knew

how to bury that dagger

so

deep

i'd

out
 

his forgiveness like splinters under my fingernails

                                     my
                                              fault
 
if he had just
 
                                hated
       me
 
this would be
                      so
much
 
                     easier

IC: Pae - Ta-Koro - Angelus' Office

 

Pae quietly stepped back into the conversation, "Ko-Koro will become Echelon's shield. Others like him remain a sword. Be weary of Piraka and who they speak to," he looked to Angelus. "Echelon will use every weapon at his disposal. It would be wise to plan his destruction and Ko-Koro's liberation quickly." His own opinion was that if Ko-Koro could not be retaken that it should instead be destroyed, but to speak on that with Korzaa in the room would likely promote distrust and Pae or his compatriots losing their anonymity or the anonymity of their employer would not be a good outcome for the toa of iron.

 

"I would like to go," he finished, "If there are no more questions."

IC: Pae - Ta-Koro - Angelus' Office

 

Pae nodded curtly, "Good luck." Pae turned to Kino and took her hand and placed in her palm his white pebble, making telling eye-contact with his only friend and confidant, "If I am needed, Kino may find me." Pae stepped back, "Korzaa," he turned to her and gave her a bow, "Be safe," and with a final nod to Kino, Pae turned around to leave the HQ.

 

As he walked through the offices, Pae reflected. He wondered if leaving Korzaa in Ta-Koro's care was the right move. At least he trusted Kino to keep an eye on her and make sure the village actually uses an asset as valuable as her. Regardless, it was time to go: Collect his team-mates and find out their next move.

 

He found them outside. Pae stepped up to the two vortixx and spoke softly, "I have our information."

OOC: Shotgun round


let's do it




IC: It's like I was in stealth mode.

I must be like a ninja or something. Too low-key, man.


________________________________________________


IC:

Teide, ever-thoughtful and wary for a man of his size and accent, did much the same, only with an additional X-Ray Factor.


________________________________________________

IC: "He ain't talkin' back, he's just lookin' at us funny." Kellin reported, the details plain as day to those who deigned to look.

So basically, their whole group.

________________________________________________

IC: After sitting there silently for a long, uncomfortable while, Erzu took a deep breath, purged what he could of the lamentations on his family life from his system, and ambled down the stairs, sword in hand.

IC: Corex (Mangaia Catacombs)

 

I helped make up the rear guard of the expedition as I struggled to put together the increasingly disturbing pieces of the puzzle that was being laid out before us...

 

OOC: Open for interaction from other members of the expedition

 

IC Hile

(Ta-Wahi, Mangaia Catacombs):

 

"Hey, I don't think I've talked to you yet", Hile suddenly said to Corex. Unlike most Ko-Matoran, Hile was the talkative sort, especially when there was nothing else to keep him occupied. "I'm sort of trying to chronicle the bios of each individual participating in this trip. It's not always just about the adventures, it's also about who was involved. Care to tell me something about yourself?"

"You look like you've something on your mind."

IC: Corex (Mangaia Catacombs)

 

"I'm trying to determine the implications of what we've seen so far," I answered the Toa of Water, "and I'm seriously beginning to doubt that walking into danger right off the bat after my arrival here on the island was a good idea"

 

Then the Ko-Matoran approached me, and I had to swallow a bad taste he left in my mouth.

 

"I'm afraid not!" I replied

IC Hile

(Ta-Wahi, Mangaia Catacombs):

 

Corex's reply reminded Hile of his meeting with Vezok long ago. He too had been hesitant about sharing things about himself and acted rude about it. Hile found himself frowning as he replied "I know Vortixx don't socialize with Matoran much, but since I'm trying to keep an open mind, shouldn't you at least try to do the same?"

IC: Corex (Mangaia Catacombs)

 

I really don't have any problems with Matoran, I really don't. They make perfectly good customers, and tend to mean easy money if they're the targets ('tend to' being the key phrase here), but I do have a problem with giving away information about myself willy-nilly. You never know who might be reading what you say.

 

My logic and fragmented memory told me that, under normal circumstances, I'd have placated the Matoran by giving him answers to superficial questions; questions like "what's my favorite color?", "do I like long walks on the beach?, "if I were a tree, what kind of tree would I be?"

 

But right now, I couldn't remember my answers to those questions, and definitely didn't have the time to stop and think about it, nor did he have the time to start getting irritated at me: waste of resources, plain and simple.

 

"Maybe you should save your moral speeches for when we're not walking from danger into more danger"

"Jakawa, I have to point out we could have avoided this if you had just let me drive."

 

 

IC: Jakawa (Ta-Wahi Beach)

 

"And I have to point out we could have avoided this if you hadn't jumped on my head and screamed "SURPRISE ATTACK" while simultaneously firing your gun in the air."

 

Idiot. My boat was destroyed, now nothing more than scrap among the various black rocks.

 

"Well here we are, on what I presume is a deserted island with no form of civilization."

 

 

IC: Mupo (Ta-Wahi Beach)

 

"We should explore more than three feet before coming to any conclusions, Jakawa."

"Shut up and follow me, Mupo."

IC: (As Fulmen): "It's time to go now." The vo-matoran said to himself as he got out of bed, leaving the sheets crumpled. He knelt down to check his pale blue bag. "Nothing's stolen... Whew." His bright yellow eyes searched for his beloved battery powered torch and food supplies he took with him on the day Fulmen left his home. "Looks like I should go shopping for supplies today..." Said the vo-matoran as he straightened his sand blue kakama and left his room, making sure to lock the door before he left the inn. A few minutes later, Fulmen was out searching for a shop where he could buy a few items for his journey.

IC: (Kino Iho)

 

"Stay safe Pae, I'll find you after we get this all settled," I said, with a small smile on my lips. There was my best friend, for the longest time my only friend. I looked back to the pebble in my hand when pay left and pocketed it, keeping it safe for later. I felt guilty for not running after him, for feeling like I left him behind, that he was possibly still in that world of shadows, of lies, of mystery. I know what I am, I know the blood on my hands, the crimes I committed, and I was afraid. I didn't want to go back there. I didn't want people to know what I did, what I was, and still possibly was capable of.

 

"Well Angelus you and I will have to talk later, but for now I guess the question is where do we go from here? Go to Jaller?" I asked.

Mangai Volcano - Ta-Koro

OOC: Po-Matoran Doseki & nui-Jaga Scorpio
 
IC: It has been many days since Doseki had set foot in a Koro. He was looking forward to interacting with someone other than Scorpio as well as restocking on supplies.. His trusted friend and mount Scorpio was a Rahi few had seen tamed and even fewer rode. Scorpio was a Nui-Jaga and a fearsome sight as the two walked up to the gates of Ta-Koro with Doseki riding on his back. Walking up to the gate the pair was stopped by several members of the Ta-Koro guard with spears pointed at the Nui-Jaga. "Greetings to you. I wish to enter the village so that I may stock up on supplies." Doseki got down off of Scorpio to hand one of the guards a badge signaling that he was a member of the Po-Koro Guard. "Do not worry about Scorpio here." Doseki said as he pat the Nui-Jaga on the head, "These restraints should keep him out of trouble."

ooc: Open for interaction... Not sure if anyone has a guard character or if I should just roleplay them letting me into the Koro myself.

IC Hile

(Ta-Wahi, Mangaia Catacombs):

 

Hile turned to face the lanky Toa of Water who had just spoken to him. She seemed to be wearing a Mask of Truth, which meant lying to her would be futile.

 

"All I did was ask about his past", he said. "What is so wrong about conversation?"

 

OOC: I know she wears a Mask of Stealth, I'm just playing by what Hile would know.

The tunnel's floor was mainly composed of rock, making Miya and Teide's search for signs of passage difficult. From time to time, however, they passed places where the walls had been struck at (with pickaxes, by the looks of it) and the floor below was littered with dust and small rocks, in which footprints could be seen. They were definitely on the right track.

 

As the group walked on, they were occasionally treated to views of the caverns beyond when the tunnel's walls briefly gave way to openings. None of these caverns were accessible, though: either there was a precipitous drop where the tunnel opened up, or the cavern was one big magma lake with no solid ground within reach.

 

"According to the map, there's a fork ahead," Loraan informed her fellows. "Apparently we need to take the passage to the right."

 

The fork was in range of Vaisaga's Arthron. He 'saw' the fuzzy grey shape of the tunnel open up into a larger space, about the size of a house, with two tunnels branching off it ahead. A pool of something, probably lava, dominated the right side.

 

The group rounded a turn of the tunnel, and the opening of the small cave came into view. Straight ahead, they could see, in the dim orange light, another small body slumped against the rock.

 

IC (Lohkar)

 

Gunner and Yasurek found Lohkar examining one of the wrecks by the glow of his own Lightstone. He looked up as they approached, and beckoned for them to come closer.

IC:

 

"With what? 'Hey Cap, Ko-Koro fell, Joske told me how, but he also made me swear not to tell you unless you and I were up for bringing down another thousand years of primordial darkness onto our heads?'"

 

Angelus stood up and walked over to the single window of his office, reaching up to wrap his fingertips around the curtain rod and staring out at the village he had made his home sullenly. 

 

"Jolek, you go to the Akiri. Escort Captain Korzaa. At least the news we have to bring him will be semi-decent." He turned halfway as he gave the order, with a stony nod to his partner. "Kino, stay. We have to talk now. Before things snowball further."

IC: Gunner / Underwater

 

A momentary flutter of panic in my gut; irrational, yeah, to be afraid of running out of air (I am a Toa of the stuff, after all), but I guess it's something primal, y'know? Down here, in the dark, in the deep, nothing but water all around you ready to fill your lungs, shut off brain functions, drag you off and off and off into the sea....

 

###### that, I remember thinking. ###### that I'm Gunner and Gunner don't drown matey.

 

I pumped my legs, pushed the water behind me with my arms just like I'd been taught but in a technique whose name I forgot, swam all the way over to where the captain was floating, where his face was played in the glow of his 'Stone. Yasurek was coming in from the other direction, and the illumination only grew brighter as three 'Stones converged on one point.

IC (Jin)

 

"Sounds good to me."

 

IC: Pae - Ta-Koro

 

Pae nodded to his companions before turning around and walking towards the village gates.

 

He could make it there on his own before nightfall, but with Jin and Nika, using the Kakama wouldn't create an ideal situation. Not to mention, he was exhausted from all his work that day and he suspected something similar from the others.

 

Upon leaving the village and crossing the bridge over the lava-flow, Pae kept close to his team-mates and waited before they found the trail and began walking. Upon reaching the beaten path he glanced to his side and looked to his companions, "I approve of you both," he said, finally deciding what to think of the other two, "Very competent."

 

Pae turned ahead again, "I had strong doubts. I avoid others in my work."

IC Yasurek- Ta-wahi bay:

 

Yasurek was relieved to see Lohkar by one of the wrecks. He had half-expected the captain to have attracted the attention of an angry sea monster. As Lohkar beckoned him and Gunner over to his position, Yasurek's thoughts turned to the wreck the captain was examining. What could Lohkar have noticed about this wreck compared to the other ones?

She looked back at Hile, a concerned look on her face.

 

"It would seem there is more to do down here than walk and see lava."
