Relapse

beyond impressed that this place still exists

IC: (Kyoshi) The Dasaka pursued immediately, aiming to knock Higashi off balance with a roundhouse kick mid-flip.

IC: (Viera) "How the should I know?" she shot back Noxas as she released the hold of gravity she'd had on him. "Now take a seat and get yourself a drink." Edit: Please do not bypass the word filter. -Wind-

OOC: Just gonna let my presence be known here. IC: (Sucogu) The warrior, having set up camp at a smaller inn down a block, had traded his larger swords and axes for six tranquilizing throwing knives, a dagger coated with the same chemical, a grappling hook & cord, and a compact crossbow slung across his back. Before leaving his room, he covered his armor in black cloth. Now properly armed for subterfuge, Sucogu climbed to the rooftops and readied himself for the hunt.

IC: (Viera) "Oh, control yourself. If it wasn't me pushing you around, it'd be someone much, much worse." She sighed, shifting his gravity so that he'd slide back to her. "Get me something strong. It's been a long day," she said to Tarkahn.

IC: (Viera) With an outstretched arm, Viera multiplied the pull of gravity around Noxas five times. As was expected, he tumbled to the ground, unable to support such weight. "Not just yet, little one," she said with a sigh, "I'm not finished with you."

IC: (Sucogu) With a nod, Sucogu abruptly got up and disappeared.

IC: (Viera) Viera rubbed her forehead, then made a disinterested gesture with her hand. "Yeah, whatever. Just let me supervise, I wouldn't want you to vegitate him. If I needed another mindless follower I'd convert to Ak'rei'an."

IC: (Viera) "The same people who brought sexy back and claim to be the real slim sha-" Viera's attention was caught by a particularly wicked-looking device. She silently wondered if the shopkeepers took payment in smiles. If so, they were clearly doing splendidly on the financial plane.

IC: (Kyoshi) The kick landed, but Kyoshi went into the fall with purpose, absorbing the impact in her arms and swinging both her legs into get opponent's knees, aiming to sweep Higashi's own balance off and cause her to land face first on Kyoshi's waiting fist.

IC: (Viera) "..." A blank look came to Viera's face. "I'm wearing a Tryna. Mask of reanimation. I'm not a member of the Brotherhood of Ak'rei'an." She sighed, gesturing for Noxas to follow along as she continued after the two. "Are you not, then, willing to talk business?"

IC: (Viera) Viera sighed. "Difference is I'm not a friggin' cultist psycho." "Don't worry, I plan to pay for him," she shot at Lantz with an eye roll, "tell you what, shopkeep, me and little man will accompany you both to the TOYS store, first round of drinks are on me." She stepped further towards them, arms crossed, a grin rising to her face. "I know a guy with connections all the way in Ta-Koro. What say we strike up a business deal?" She raised an eyebrow. "The slave trade happens to be very profitable from what I hear."

IC: (Viera) "Give me a second," she said to Noxas, handing him the reigns to the Kikalano. With that, she reentered the sword shop and cracked her knuckles. "You," she growled at Lantz, "I've had about enough of your garbage. You're going to come outside with me, and then I'm going to beat you within an inch of your life."

BZP has a comedy section but it's a few forums over >>>

IC: (Viera) "Well yes," she said, leaping up onto her steed, "but decidedly less dead." For the first time, she took a good look at Noxas. He was innocent, timid, easily coerced- he would work as an underling. Someone to do the dirty work. Perfect.

IC: (Viera) The Toa of gravity tightened her gaze on the frightened Matoran. "...the kind that does what I tell him to without complaint or rebellion? I don't really get what you're asking."

IC: (Viera) "Put simply," she crooned, ushering him outside and towards her Kikalano, "you're going to be my slave. Sound like a plan?"

IC: (Sucogu) What secrets do you hold, my little friend? Sucogu remained stoic, but mentally a flare was set off. Ishi was hiding something. Nonetheless, this would not hinder business- it simply meant he had to keep an eye out for backstabbing. "I'm your man," he said with a nod, "let's get down to business."

You might want to take a second look at your bio and consider fixing it up a bit. There are a few parts that don't make sense grammatically.

IC: (Viera) At the look of displeasure in the shopkeepers eyes at the blood coming from her zombie's he'd. With a simple gesture to the ground, she ordered him to clean up, which he did so with a rag he had on hand. Meanwhile, Viera had been vigilantly watching Lantz, noting his movements. He was a Toa of gravity, just like her. But he likely didn't have the skill or experience she did, otherwise he would know there were much more effective methods than lifting your opponent off of the ground. A few different techniques she'd used on a Skakdi back in Le-Koro came to mind- applying pressure where pressure was due. "You," she snapped at Noxas, "you're coming with me."

Are there currently any missions for Rahkshi to do?

Are you complaining?

Well geez, I dunno about y'all but it seems to me like being vulnerable to magnetism/iron powers is a weakness shared by just about everyone in a game full of naturally armored biomechanical beings. If you're wondering why Toa of iron and magnetism aren't physical gods, it's because tearing someone apart metal limb by metal limb is really really against the rules. That'll probably carry over into mechs, or they will be hilariously ineffective.

IC: (Damek) Damek immediately ruled out Nariya as a suspect. She'd told him everything she could now, and he'd need his space to conduct a proper investigation. "Thanks ma'am, that's all I'll be needing from you for now." He returned to the corpse and tie painting, eyeing each carefully. "Oh god..." That wasn't paint, that was blood. In his time with the Ussalry, Damek had seen more than a few bloody crime scenes but never one with blood so orchestrated in its splattering. He had to give props to the artistic prowess of the killer, as much as he hated to. But how had he gotten away? Surely Nariya would have seen him, or at least seen someone she suspected. But no... maybe he'd had a way to escape quickly, without attracting attention. "Alright, someone start a profile, we have a Toa of iron, most likely wearing a Kualsi, maybe a Kakama." He left the corpse to the rest of the investigators and returned to the Ussalry HQ to study what he'd learned and see if it matched any previous cases. OOC: Any other Ussalry members, feel free to look at the body or do whatever. I'll be waiting for the next kill. >=)

IC: (Kyoshi) With a sharp exhale, Kyoshi again took the hit (though this time it did a bit more damage) and pulled Higashi's head in, face leveled against her abdomen. While she had her opponent essentially blinded for a second she quickly reached for Higashi's shoulder and with all her strength pinched hard on the pressure point.
