I said, smiling jovially at my fellow patron; I turned towards the kitchen, filled with, as it seemed to me, nothing but Skakdi. Not the first time, I thanked my lucky stars that I'd bothered to sit down and learn the language back in Xa. "Excuse me! I'll have the seafood dish, if you'd please!"

Falcon Lord Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 (edited) IC: (Tuarn, Endless Ocean, The Inika) The old Toa of Plantlife quickly finished the rest of the crack, "I think I need a bit of a rest. I'm not as strong as I used to be, and all these repairs are taxing me. I'll be in my cabin if I'm needed." Tuarn then strode belowdecks and retired to his chambers, reminiscing about the past. Tuarn sat on the edge of his bed, pondering,"How many places have I been? How many things have I seen?" He asked, out loud, "Too many." He said firmly, answering his own question. IC: (Orderin, Ga-Koro) Orderin sat in the rundown Ga-Koro bar, quietly eating at a corner table, his back to the wall. Sheathed at his side was his recently reforged sword, his spear was propped against the wall. Finishing up his drink,he picked up his spear and left a tip on the table for the waitress. He then walked quietly out the the door and into the streets of Ga-Koro. After parting ways with Tivanu, Orderin had been at a crossroads in his life. For now at least, he had settled down, but it wouldn't last long. Orderin could feel the road calling to him; he had to keep wandering, it was all he had ever known.

The Vo-Toa interjected, eyes glancing ever-so-briefly at the newest Onu-Lesterin, before glancing back to the previous one, and then ignoring both as she took a sip from her drink and continued. "Says he doesn't like the rain, which does indeed indicate the not uncommon tendency of those of your element to dislike water. Unlikely he'd settle in Ga-Koro." Another swallow, and she leaned against the counter, surveying both with the faintest of smirks. "I rather suspect you're not from around here either."

Flipping it open, I perused its six laminated pages with the idle ease of a man not currently engaged in a conversation. "I'll have the, um, the grilled teriyaki tuna, I believe," I said, handing the menu back over to the man. "With a glass of Bula as well, and, hmm, if possible, the replacement of the side of rice with an extra portion of salad? Vinaigrette on the side, of course; wonderful, thank you."

a goose Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 IC: The first body washed ashore in the late evening, the setting sun bathing its broken, glistening form in an orange glow as it sank into the violet hues of the horizon. It was that of a Ga-Matoran -- female and maskless. Further examination would reveal that she had been starved prior to her death, and that severe damage had been done to practically every bone in her body. The actual cause of her death was somewhat unclear, due to both the state of her body and the range of traumas to which she had been subjected. Her hands and her feet had been bound, and identical symbols had been carved into her upper arms with mathematical precision, taking the appearance of a strangely intricate hourglass. The body was discovered three days later, by a Le-Matoran and a Po-Matoran who had been searching for solitude. The Le-Matoran noticed it first, and urged his companion investigate it with him -- by now, it was warped almost beyond recognition by feeding Rahi and natural decay, past even the damage that had already been done. As they approached it, they were hit by the smell; at that point, the Po-Matoran backed out. The Le-Matoran continued, driven on by his own morbid curiosity. The smell only grew stronger as he got closer, and he could feel his eyes tearing and his throat choking up, but something inside him continued to urge him on. When he finally reached it, he initially thought it was that of a Rahi -- animals had stripped down to the bone in most places, flesh and metal hanging on where the parasites had failed to reach. Maggots writhed inside the chest cavity, feasting on the scraps of rotten meat that were still clinging on. Slowly, the reality dawned on the Le-Matoran, but he still found himself transfixed, a dark fascination consuming him. He leaned down and picked up a stick from nearby, gently nudging the body with just enough force to make the head turn and face him, forever contorted into an expression of unadulterated terror, insects crawling forth from an empty eye socket and the jaw hanging slack, barely suspended by torn skin. The sight was enough to break him free of his trance, and two hours later he and the Po-Matoran had reported it to the Marines. By the time they were on scene, identification had been made very difficult. It would be attempted regardless, and it would be met with nothing. According to all records, their victim did not exist.The cause of death would be connected to the physical traumas she had experienced, likely as a result of some kind of fall; the presence of the ropes binding her wrists and ankles was enough to suggest that it was not accidental. The rope itself was not unique to any manufacturer, and would fail to turn up any leads in Ga-Koro. In fact, the only lead left in the end was the markings, somehow left untouched by the animals -- some research would show that over two hundred years prior, a body had been discovered near the same location with similar ones, and another just over two centuries before that. The investigation would treat it as a copycat. It was not. The first body washed ashore in the late evening. There were more to come.
