BIONICLE MAFIA IX: SENTINELS OF THE DARKENED SKIES

[Ehksidian]

So, is spot 25 available?

Hold on, let me see...

Yep, it is. Now we only need one more spot filled.

yay!

[Voxumo]

Just to be cruel as heck i should target this alleged last spot.. Hmm...

[Voltex]

Added in! One more spot left - somebody go hold another member hostage! =D

[Voxumo]

*Jumps up and down while holding hand up*

Oh-Oh! Can i torture the hostage if i am the one who capture them?

[Rahkshi Guurahk]

I messaged Sumiki to join, therefore he may.

[Kanakalackin]

Dibs on spot 26!!!

[Voxumo]

I messaged Sumiki to join, therefore he may.

But but.. can i still torture him?

[Toarobot18]

I must ask, what caused this spur of rhyming?

It seems to be rather odd timing.

Or is it because we're all here waiting?

Speaking of that- what's with all the rhyme hating?

Oh dear, it is quite contagious

Let's stop before it gets too dangerous.

 

I'm terrible at rhyming so I'll stop right there and pay the inevitable soon-to-be fine for rhyming.

 

Two spots left and people are already suspicious of each other. Wow. Can't say I'm not suspicious of Burnmad and Shadowhawk myself though.

 

I see you asked why we do rhyme.

I started it; blame me this time.

Inspired I was by letters of Lloyd,

To Portal he sent in a game I enjoyed,

Of Mafia, which was quite great.

I think it was the number eight.

Lloyd played the Siren, I recall.

He's the one who caused my fall.

Then I took his plan for verse,

And now it's spread; you think it worse.

But I will rhyme no matter who,

Takes up my scheme and rymeth too.

For I did vow I'd rhyme all game,

It's too late now; I've sworn my name.

[Rahkshi Guurahk]

I wonder if the sentinels know who each other are.

[Manducus]

Is 26 still opened?

 

If so, I would like it. If not, that's fine.

[Voxumo]

I actually think Phantom terror just took the last spot

[Manducus]

Ah great. This happens every time when I try to join. Maybe I should be online more often?

[Rahkshi Guurahk]

Eh, usually just bad timing. I missed out on VIII due to school.

[Voltex]

Ah great. This happens every time when I try to join. Maybe I should be online more often?

 

Don't worry about it - I'll add another Villager into the mix so that there's enough space for you, since I haven't sent the roles out yet.

 

That said - all spaces filled! I will begin sending pms now - everybody should receive at least one, due to the siblings.

 

Sibling pms have been sent out - role pms are being delivered now!

(If someone could post so that I don't have to double post or something that would be awesome)

yay

Let's do this!

[Taka Nuvia]

Let's see how this whole sibling business will turn out... I'm actually really curious.

[Voltex]

Prologue II

The assorted survivors of the Metru-Nui crash stumbled around in a daze, both from the crash itself and the radiation from the Staff of Unlimited Power that was tying different life forces together as though they were shoelaces. Three of the survivors, who had been closest to Voltex when he stood, were even worse off – all three were linked together, increasing the risks of their deaths to the extreme.

 

---

 

The Mysterious Figure strode through the players, the Staff of Unlimited Power cloaked upon his back. The Staff had fractured in several places both from the splitting energies absorbed by them and Voltex, as well as from the sheer amount of power that had been released at once when the robot was sliced in two.

 

The Figure halted, five feet away from Voltex, who was facing the other direction. The Figure removed their hooded cloak, though none of the players in the vicinity were in any condition to recognize them as they faded back into the crowd.

 

---

 

As the survivors recovered, five were drawn to each other by tendrils of shadow that swirled around them.

 

“This situation has been caused by a fight over the Staff of Unlimited Power,” one said, “so, if I may make a suggestion?”

 

“Go ahead,” said another.

 

The first nodded. “While Voltex and these other foolish survivors are busy trying to succeed in the hopeless task of the thief, I say we cause a little more chaos.”

 

“Follow in the Makuta’s footsteps?” a third asked.

 

“Precisely,” said the first. “Why not start killing them off? Perhaps they will stay dead this time.”

 

“Or they’ll just become brought back alive again,” the second grumbled. “I can feel the radiation in the air.”

 

“I say it’s worth a shot,” said a fourth. “Besides, it’ll be fun.”

 

“What about you?” the first asked, directing the question to a fifth member who had remained silent so far. “You have the most power here. What do you say?”

 

“Hmm… you bring up an interesting proposal…” the fifth murmured. “Perhaps….”

 

“Perhaps?” the second snorted. “Way to commit.”

 

“Shut up,” hissed the third. “Show some respect!”

 

“Respect is something to be earned, not to be given,” said the fifth. “I will agree to your proposal – they will learn to respect us and fear our power as they should.”

 

---

 

“How long do we have?” asked Voltex.

 

The three Sentinels gazed at the sky. “It is hard to say,” said one, “but do not anticipate surviving more than a week. Bara-Magna was already questionable when it came to survival, but now….”

 

“Now we’ve got at least one killer on the loose, with a Staff that’s radiating so much power it’s poisonous,” Voltex finished. “Wonderful.”

 

“The skies will grow darker with each day and night,” the Sentinels warned. “Pray that you find your thief soon.”

 

“I already am.”

 

Roles sent out! Sentinels, Medic, Detective, Mysterious Figure, Hunters – you have 2 days to pm me with your decisions!

Let the skies grow darker and the games begin!

[Toarobot18]

The roles are sent out;

I do not have one.

If Hunters kill me,

They've wasted their gun.

Likewise my lynching

Is wasting your time;

I'm not a hunter,

I will do no crime.

To seek out the fiends,

Here's a suggestion:

Let's claim our roles and

Answer the question

Of who we can trust.

When death finds the truth

We'll see who was just.

[Makuta of Time]

What's with the rhyming. I'm trying to grasp the sense of it.

[Ehksidian]

I will remain silent about my role. Other than stating that I am with the villagers.

I might be a villager.

I might be a Sentinel.

I might be the Detective.

I might be the Medic.

Though I am most certainly NOT a hunter.

That is all.

well yeah

only you get to be Detective You.

no one else can be you

UNLESS YOU'RE ACTUALLY A VILLAGER AND SOMEONE ELSE IS YOU

DUN

DUN

DUUUUUUUUUN

no i know you didn't do that that'd be silly.

[Voltex]

Are you so sure

Are you reeeeeeeally sure

Are you positively certain that I would never ever do such a thing

[Samus Aran-Bounty Hunter]

Nope!

Zakaro

[Portalfig]

It's happened before. 2.4 anybody?

[Ehksidian]

It's happened before. 2.4 anybody?

...What happened then?

but really why would he name a role after himself, make said role invincible, and then not use it himself.

Makes no sense. At all.

[Voltex]

Dunno

Why was I suddenly Lloyd in 2.4 you ask

And then why was Lhikevikk Lloyd in 2.4 after I died you ask

Who knows

But

Never be certain

Of anything

EVER

...Well then.

That's just insanely confusing. Though I am fairly confident I am not you, though.

[Voltex]

Two players are me in this game. Three, if you count that one other guy...

[Taka Nuvia]

[...]

Actually, that makes perfect sense if you really want to confuse your players and actually just participate in the game. Or of course, cause chaos and potential bloodshed, which of course is not what BZP Mafia is about. At all. xD

Ah thanks! I really owe you one!

[Voltex]

No problem - I missed signups in VII by about an hour and it sucked, so I figured why not. =P

>Goes away overnight

...what have i done

 

[Valendale]

What's with the rhyming. I'm trying to grasp the sense of it.

You're confused.

I can see it in you.

Let me inject some sense:

I've got Nightmares Before, During, and After Christmas.

Rhyming is our aspiration

a part of this HARDCORE MAFIAAAA nation

What we all want to be

like an arm in a sleeve,

so can't you see?

>Goes away overnight

...what have i done

 

It's like a disease. Spreading throughout the Mafia universe.

Soon, it will come into the other games. Then, spread to the RPG forums. Then...the entire site.

THEN THE ENTIRE PLANET.

ok i doubt all of that but i wouldn't be surprised if this rhyming thing spread out from here.

[Shadowhawk]

It won't spread via the Shadowhawk, I can assure you of that. I simply loathe trying to write poetry of any sort, and will never do it unless forced to at gunpoint.

No. No I can't see that. Plus the rhyming makes it feel like a creepy killer than a hardcore killer.

[Ehksidian]

And I certainly will not spread it. I also dislike rhyming.

It's annoying to do, especially only talking in rhymes.

[Lara White]

At least I actually had a good reason for it. And I don' even like poetry.
