Corpus Rahkshi

[Sassy Dalmation]

IC: Draco - Hallways

I frown as Hollow walks off. The clutched hands showed his anger, or determination, though what about, I did not know. I scan around... Now... Where is... There. I spot a Porter, cleaning the hallways. "You there." I say, gesturing it to come towards me. Normally, a Porter would ignore a student, but thanks to my status, the being complies, and shuffles over to me. "Alert all other Porters to keep watch over A large, black and white Rahkshi with red eyes, with a variation that is most likely, but not for certain, Cyclone. Notify me if said Rahkshi causes any problems to any of the student body." The Porter makes a whirring noise, as if in acknowledgement, before scurrying off, most likely in search of other Porters to spread my message. Turning back to Canvas, I say, "Unless that Rahkshi physically attacked you, then there isn't really anything I can do to punish him. However, I can keep an eye on him, so if he gets out of hand... Punishment will be delivered."

Gaever nodded, though it was probably pointless in the fog, and let the plasma on her arm began to burn away. "Rahkshi come in 42 unique variations." She sort of hoped he wasn't going to ask her to list them, though she guessed she would if he asked.

Another match ended, and this one without him having to call it, thankfully - Glass' macuahuitl was brutal, things could have gotten bad quickly. He had a line inscribed through Rail's name and Glass' moved forward, as he had done for Fountain and Geuua's names respectively. "Well fought, both of you. If you'd like, one of my assistants can help you to the Infirmary," he offered Rail, gesturing to Aerahk.

 

 

OOC: I'm aware that I need to do Shock, but I've been busy and combat is the hardest to work out. Sorry, I'll try have him up soon.

She was still thinking over his last question. "Oh, thank you. It's good to be out of that maniac's shadow."

[Timageness]

IC: Exxan - Gym.

 

Aiming for my thighs seemed like an odd choice, given that we were both moving very quickly in completely opposite directions, and most of my body parts would've been much closer to his blade than my legs. Nonetheless, the blade briefly sliced across the armour of my upper legs before my slide carried me out of range. 

 

Doing my best to ignore the sting of the fresh wounds, I dug in my elbows and skidded to a stop, just short to skidding between the pillars on the other side of the arena. "Your move," I wheezed, settling into a crouch and twisting around to face my foe. 

 

IC: Liar - Gym

 

Leveling himself back out, Liar quickly reoriented his body, skirting alongside the edge of the platform as he advanced towards his opponent's flank.

"Oh yeah? Well, when isn't it?"

Ripping another firecracker off of his bandolier and striking the fuse up against his arm as he made his approach, he proceeded to lob it towards the other Rahkshi as he swerved out of the way... only to change course yet again and fly back in from the other direction as he attempted to swipe at their ankles with his scimitars.

 

IC: Rail - Gym

 

Once again nodding in approval, Rail reached out with his mind, commanding the gym to envelope his crossbow before having it spat back out at his feet.

 

IC: Misery - Gym

 

Finally arriving at the gym, Misery was slightly disappointed that what she assumed was the tournament she had read about earlier had already begun, but wasn't entirely surprised by that fact either.

Of course I would arrive far too late to actually enter. Typical.

And with that, she simply shook her head before exiting back out into the hallway.

[Nato G]

IC: Exxan - Gym.

 

I prepared to blow the incoming firecracker away with another burst of air, only to glimpse my opponent suddenly switch directions and swerve back towards me as I charged up. Cursing, I ignored the bomb and focused on jumping over the blades slicing towards my lower legs. Once clear, I started moving back towards the interior of the platform, leaving my foe to contend with the firecracker.

IC: Shock / Gym

 

 

Shock turned to continue facing Percy as he stepped backwards, parrying Percy's attack with his sword in one hand. As he did so he swung the other, curled into an electrified fist, hard at Percy's head and towards the platform's edge.

[The UltimoScorp]

IC Percy:

 

His blade came around, and Percy, rather than try and avoid the blow, brought his sword to bear on the the other's now extended fist.

"I think... I can manage," he tried to say as he returned to his feet, only for the leg below his wound to violently seize up, causing him to come crashing right back down on the platform. "On second thought, that's probably a good idea. Crawling my way over to the infirmary honestly doesn't sound too appealing at the moment."

"Thanks mate, we'll take you up on the offer."

 

Glass helped Rail up, waiting for Aerahk to join him in helping the injured Rahk to the Infirmary.

Aerahk nodded and followed the demands of his liege.

IC: Shock / Gym

 

 

Shock jerked his arm back when he saw Percy's sword moving for it, but couldn't do so fast enough to avoid a nasty cut on his fist. Karz. Well, he wasn't going to take that injury without getting anything for it - while Percy's sword was busy with his hand he was swinging his own blade at Percy's side, and driving a foot in a kick at his opponent's shin.

IC: Gaever / Nynrah

 

 

Gaever, too, returned to work. It was her thought that going into detail on Rahkshi variations with Phantom some other time might be good, though, for his sake - if he were to survive among other Rahkshi, he would need to have a handle on what sort of powers they were going to be throwing at him. Maybe it would be good to get him a book on it, the Library held many.

 

...Well, except that he probably couldn't read. Someone would have to teach him that too...

 

Such was Gaever's contemplation as progress on the forge continued.

[Dark_Stranger]

OOC: I'm waiting on a Diode post, Strider.

 

IC--Kaboom--Gym

As his opponent slipped behind him, Kaboom immediately dove into a forward somersault, anticipating an attack from behind. The kick she aimed at him grazed his back, but thanks to his forward momentum it didn't do much damage. Rolling to a stop in the midst of his growing saplings, he grabbed one in each hand, easily pulling their roots from the sandy floor. Then he spun, imbuing the plants with a last spark of power, and flung them at his enemy, aiming to entangle her in the growing roots and branches. Without waiting to see whether they hit, Kaboom seized the moment and charged, stabbing his chute blade--the part of his arsenal she seemed the most intimidated by--at her chest.

 

IC--Sepulchral--Halls

Oh thank Arthatka, the lummox is finally gone!

So, what do I do now?

Just...stand back here awkwardly, I suppose.

...

And hope I have not been saying all of this out loud.

 

IC--Magnum Opus--Halls/Library

Deciding on a whim to look for his friend in the library first, Magnum Opus headed in that direction. However, when he arrived a cursory search showed no sign of her. Despite his efforts to stay calm, he was gradually getting more and more worried for her safety.

[Nato G]

IC: Vyper - Gym.

 

I struck out with my arms, aiming to bat the writhing bundles of branches out of my path. By the time that was accomplished, though, my opponent was practically on top of me, chute blade spearing me right through the chest.

 

For perhaps the first time in the fight, I was glad that my foe chose to favour that particular weapon so fervently. Getting impaled by a regular blade was not only painful, but also debilitating, and potentially lethal. Getting impaled by an intangible blade wasn't nearly as detrimental to my longevity in this fight. I recoiled from the blade, biomechanical muscles spasming under the electrical onslaught, my jaw clenched so tightly I couldn't cry out even if I'd wanted to. 

 

"You're going to regret that," I snarled, once I was able. "Why don't you put that toy away and fight like a real rahk?"

IC: Slif - Gym

Was he trying to help me up? Heh, that was nice. Wish I could help him there.

Another stream of blood erupted from my arm when I tried to push myself up, like some kinda geyser. This was really bad, I couldn't hardly think straight. Stars pushed in at the sides of my eyes, joined by the black space between them. It was almost beautiful, if I couldn't help but remember that it was the hallucinations of a blood-starved brain.

"I'm... I'm losing a lot of... stuff. Blood? Can... I call it that? Is that what's... in me?" I started rambling quietly to myself.

 

IC: Fate - Infirmary

Melody and her friend were still engaged in conversation when I approached them. Without interrupting, I retrieved my cart from Spindle's bedside, and wheeled it to this supposed "dual-personality" rahk. While sorting my tools, I realized that I had already met a two-headed, conjoined rahk today, so I couldn't rule out the possibility, but the word of a mad-man is scarce better than no word at all.

 

IC: Phantom - Ruins on the Water

The work continued, piece by piece. The walls were getting rather tall now, approaching their shoulder's height. Maybe the walls were going to get tall enough that they would cover their heads? What if they fell over, like the rest of the world around them? Just another pile of rocks, just another grave.

They'd rather not think thoughts like that.

"Ooh! Ooh!" Tube was waving their hand in the air like they were waiting to get called on by their Master. "Can I help the leaky one?"

 

 

IC: Canvas - Hallways

 

Canvas took a deep breath to calm herself... then another, before turning to the others. "Thank you all so much for helping me with that guy. I... I really appreciate it."

 

Her vision felt all spotty again. She casually leaned up against a wall and tried to focus instead on changing her armor to a more friendly brown of Quick Healing, with her own splash of white like Palma. She always liked those colors.

 

 

IC: Melody - Infirmary

 

She watched curiously as the unfamiliar Rahkshi wheeled a cart from Tear's injured friend to Tear herself. Nervously, she asked, "C-c-can we h-help y-y-you?"

 

Tear turned with those words, fixing her bleary, teary eyes on the tools as Fate sorted them.

[Coconut Fella]

IC: Fate - Infirmary

I shook my head.

"No. You are likely in no position to help me, nor do I need any help. However it seems I've become the unofficial "nurse" for today, so I am in fact here to help you."

Placing the last of my tools on the rack, I sat upright on the bed at this teal rahk's side.

"Now, may I have your name?"

Melody seemed to relax, so Tear muttered her name in a voice barely audible. "T-Teer."

The princely Turahk nodded. "Yes, Tube here will help you to the infirmary," he told Paladin and Slif. "You both fought well," he added sincerely.

 

To Tube, he specified, "Do be careful. I don't want Slif further injured on the way to the Infirmary. That means don't rush him there, take it slow, and try to support his arms or shoulders or where he isn't already hurt. And if Paladin, the other, has advice, follow it. When he's safely there, return promptly. Alright?"

 

 

OOC: It's late, I'm not an expert in carrying injured people myself, and haven't really kept track of Slif's exact injuries, so if I got anything wrong or not specific enough cut me some slack or let me know.

I listen to the conversation for a moment, before sighing. "Well, it looks like I'm done here. Let me know if that Rahk bothers you again. Also, think on my question to you. Now, if you'll excuse me..." I start walking off towards the gym, thoughts pounding in my head. I solved an argument... Peacefully. Why? Normally, I would not hesitate to bust some heads together, and show my power. Am I becoming soft? ... No. That's not it... Surely not. I honestly had no better answer, sadly. I need to train more. Good thing I'm heading to the gym...

Bored with the library, he soon left after the shouting began. Trying for most ears, but his? unbearable.

 

He skittered slowly through the hallways, knocking the walls with his canes, trying to get away from everything...

 

As he walked, though, someone came up from in front. Okay. I'm talking to this person, whoever it is. Probably just another student... "Hello, there, um... Sir? or is it ma'am?"

I took a not so calculated risk, and jumped over the spinning weapons, and swung my own as hard as I could  at the other rahkshi once I hit the ground.

 

IC Percy:

 

Footwork and speed were everything for a swordsman, something Percy knew well. Since he was too close now for his own blade  to come to bear properly, he strafed sideways, taking him out of reach of the sword's arc(unless the other rahk wanted to risk overswinging and cutting himself) and stepping between the kick. As he did so, he aimed a hard cut at his opponent's open back, hoping to use the force of the swing to put him over the edge. 

 

This was done in one swift motion, as was befitting a proper swordsman.

[Coconut Fella]

IC: Phantom - Ruins on the Water

Piece by piece, the stones brought the wall higher and higher. It began to remind Phantom of the tower from before, though more stable, and just a little neater. Now that the mist had dissipated some, they could see the fine carving on some sides of the stones, interrupted by cracks and broken pieces. Considering how hard stacking these stones was, it must have been hard to get all of these to the village in the first place. Phantom only wished that they could have met the villagers... They could have learned a lot from them.

As they bent down for another, Phantom realized there were only a few stones left in their pile now. It might be best to go get more.

"Gaever." They called, and pointed at the pile, and it's dwindling nature.

 

IC: Sim - Infirmary

There she went, doing her thing. Certainly no need for me anymore. As much as I want to, I'd hate to go into stasis again. I needed to do something with myself, and I couldn't do that while stuck in a quantum lock. I elected to toy with sheets dangling on the edge of the bed closest to me, idly entertained.

IC: Gaever / Nynrah

 

 

Gaever had observed the pile's diminishment, and Phantom's call prompted the action over it she had been delaying. "Indeed, more will have to be gathered," she agreed. "Though not a great quantity. The aspects of the building for which stone is required are nearly complete." The simple building was indeed coming along nicely; the walls (with spaces for a door and window, and the beginning of a chimney, implemented by Gaever) were almost complete, and the roof would be more wood than stone.

 

But again, somewhat irritatingly, there was not quite enough to finish completely. Gaever finished setting the block she was working on in place, then headed for the village ruins, expecting Phantom to follow. Though she might feel less uneasy if he did not, or at least if it were with some delay or at some distance... questions of the village's destruction - destroyers - were not what she wished to face from him, least of all at the very scene.

 

* * *

 

IC: Shock / Gym

 

 

That failed completely, and now Shock's chances were looking pretty slim. There was time and space for one last-ditch maneuver, though. In a movement fast and fluid fueled by desperation, he moved forward, spinning back towards Percy, sliding sideways to the ground (so close to the precipice he could feel his knee extend minutely beyond it, grains of sand falling away beneath) with his sword hand on the floor to brace himself, all facilitating some escape from his opponent's blade and his free hand shooting out like the lightning within it to grab for the wrist of Percy's extended sword arm and pull his opponent out and down, hopefully over him towards and into the drop and the water below.

IC: Phantom - Ruins on the Water

If Gaever expected Phantom to follow, then she would not be disappointed. Or, she would, if she was hoping for the opposite. Either way, Phantom was oblivious to any of Gaever's inner musings, so they followed her suit. They felt safer around Gaever, or at least, better. Company of any kind was a much better alternative to being alone, after all, and Gaever's company was, so far, the most enjoyable that Phantom had experienced. No leaving them behind with no explanation, no impatient comments. Certainly no pointing of any weapons, like Vyper and Pentaghast had been doing.

Phantom paused. There was a word for this, wasn't there? Had they heard it? Or was it yet another of those words tucked away in their brain, for no explicable reason?

They continued on. They'd think of the word eventually.

[Sergei Rahkmaninoff]

IC: Shock / Gym

 

 

Disappointed but not defeated, Shock lurched forward, rolling rapidly on his side away from the ledge and right towards his opponent, behind the swing of his sword and at his feet. With the combatants' already close proximity, Percy would have little chance to dodge or counterattack this maneuver, leaving him to stumble over a shocking Shock or maybe jump over him - either of which suited Shock perfectly fine.

 

* * *

 

IC: Gaever / Nynrah (Ruins)

 

 

Okay. Well, as long as there were no painful inquiries, his presence was not objectionable, and Gaever could bear the ghosts in this place. She began to gather up rubble, and when she had an armful headed back to deposit it so she could go to gather more. If they had to do much more of this she'd probably devise a wheelbarrow or two - mental blueprints began to materialize at the thought - but as it was they needed little enough that it wouldn't save much time.

IC Percy:

 

He kicked him instead.

 

The relative length of Percy's blade meant that he didn't have to close in very far to make an effective cut, and it was a reach advantage he'd been trying to maintain the entire time. 

 

It also meant that Shock had more of a distance to travel than he thought, giving Percy just enough time to, well, simply kick him while he was down, so to speak.

IC: Phantom - Ruins on the Water

To say there was much left of Phantom on the Water would be gratuitous, to say the least. It had quite literally been leveled to the ground, with only a few ragtag pieces of structure jutting up from the land. The tower from earlier was likely one of the last few structures actually still standing...

The tower! That had lots of good stone!

"Ooh! Ooh! Gaever! Stone! Lots good stone!" They began jumping up and down in excitement

[Timageness]

IC: Liar - Gym

 

Ugh... Oblivious much?

Had his opponent recalled the last time he had opted to use that tactic, they would've likely remembered the length of the projectiles' fuses, if not the unusually long period of time he spent holding onto them in his attempt to properly time the previous two explosions. As such, by the time the firecracker was ready to detonate, it had already flew by him, ricocheting off of a pillar and onto the floor where it did so rather harmlessly. Changing direction as he prepared to make another charge, he readied his swords again, predictably slashing at the other Rahkshi's legs once more, this time in an effort to draw their weapon away from their center of mass, only to follow up with another strike aimed towards the arm that held it.

My turn.

 

IC: Rail - Gym

 

Returning his weapon to its proper home on his back, Rail simply let the other two students do their thing as he prepared himself for yet another trip to the infirmary.

Bored out of her mind once again, Misery began to wander around aimlessly, making note of her bearings as she secretly continued to size up all of the students who had just so happened to pass her by.

So far, however, not one of them had caused her to raise so much as an eyebrow.

IC Grim - Halls

 

Patrolling the hallways did not strike Grim as a particularly glorious task, but an active presence among the student body was crucial to maintain order, so it was a task they did not falter from. They kept close to the left wall, so as not to be sprung upon from their blind side.

 

 

IC Pentaghast - Halls:

 

Adding arms to a collection, he'd said. She mused on this. Either the brother had an exceptionally odd hobby, or he was different from the majority of the others here. Multiple arms could be useful on a ship....

 

She snapped the book closed and tossed it on the table as she stood and left the Library, her gears grinding noisily as she went. 

 

A rahkshi with more arms than usual shouldn't be too hard to find. And maybe he'd grow a set of spines and get out of the shadow of his meatheaded brother. She grinned. Oh yes, she'd whip the rahk into shape right quick.

I didn't bother trying to fend off my attacker's blows, instead opting to simply back away, almost slipping over as I edged out of range. This battle was going nowhere fast. My foe's dodge powers made it all but impossible to strike a decisive blow, and I could only keep evading him for so long. 

 

Sooner or later, one of us was going to make a fatal mistake, and I had a feeling it was probably going to be me.

There was nothing he could do at that point; his critical gamble had been on Percy not having time to lash out, and it was one he'd lost. His only consolation was the final painful shock he could inflict upon his opponent's leg as it propelled him back, beyond the edge, and into the water.
