Someone talking to Makuta?

Reading this and then seeing Nuju's sig inspires major mood dissonance.I'm just thinking of the twist of Mata Nui being the right voice and Makuta being the left one. Weird imagery.

OOC: Trust me, if I wanted to maim/kill several characters in a big colourful explosion of fury and sparkles, I'd be very sure to let you know beforehand

IC: Zeal / Onu-Koro - Restaurant Interior'Fair enough, I guess. We've been looking around for a fair few weeks, though. I grow impatient, and this island is dangerous outside the villages without backup.''And as for the artefact, can't tell you anything more than I know. Silver orb of unknown origin. Took my element, replaced it with another.' Zeal demonstrated his point by letting a small flame dance in his palm, before quickly snuffing it. 'I can still use element and Kanohi, just not my own. At this point, six Toa is only a theory. Neither I, nor Dekuna could unlock it alone. Sister helpfully provided us with the Six Theorum. But for all we know, it could take ten, or a hundred.'

IC: Zeal / Onu-Koro - Restaurant Interior'I prefer cynical, personally. The concept carries slightly more positive connotations, and is a lot more fun.' He once again sipped at his tea, only to found his cup was empty.'And I think that's our cue to decide, ladies and gentlemen. Will you help us?' Zeal wasn't in a mood to muck about.

IC: Zeal / Onu-Koro - Restaurant Interior'Oh, and there's a slight chance it could backfire and kill us all if it doesn't work out. Just a thought.' An awkward silence hung in the air as he slowly grabbed for his tea, sipping at it cautiously.

For those who were involved with Zeal and Sister before my short break, (I forget who, sorry) I made a post thingy.

Just to get things back up to speed.

IC:Miraul smiled,"Mata Nui Cow's Milk, please. Vilak, myself and the rest of the Toa Akiru run the Toa Akiru Forge. We make a lot of things-tools, weapons, furniture, anything else you might need designed. Our two specialty materials are metal and crystal, since we have some Toa of those elements. Vilak and I in particular offer expertise in weapons."

 

 

 

Vilak smiled ,"I second Miraul's order. So what are you folks doing in Onu-Koro at this hour?"

 

IC: Zeal, Sister / Onu-Koro - Restaurant Interior

'We're looking for a friend. Well, two. Sister?' He gestured down to his companion.

The Le-Matoran cleared her throat, trying to make herself sound much more professional than she actually was. 'First off, I'm looking for my sister. She's a Le-Toa, with a Kanohi Huna, and three daggers. Zeal here is also looking for a friend of his, a Vo-Toa, Kanohi Calix, wields a scimitar.''Also,' Zeal began, 'I'm looking for Toa that can help me with... a personal task.' He took a sip from his newly-arrived tea. 'I will warn you, though. I'm not sure what the outcome will be, if any, and if there is one, it will only benefit me. But I can't do it alone.'

575's been edited to being in the Personnel Deck. My mistake, I can't location well.

IC: 575 - Personnel Deck

'Close.' The final window in her HUD disappeared. She knew a heck of a lot more about the mechanisms of the ship, as well as why she carried a big spanner.

'Review Suit Functions,' she told to her Voice Interface.

'Certainly.' An outline of the Power Suit appeared, but only one area was highlighted, on her wrist, which 575 pulled up into her field of vision.

'Arc Welder, huh? How does it work?'

'The User must be a Toa of Lightning for the Arc Welder to work. The User must channel their element into the device, which will arc the current from the electrode to the base material, welding whatever it is applied to. The Visor of the Power Suit is tinted during this time, to protect the User from being blinded.'

'I.. guess that makes sense. Tint Visor.' Her vision turned dark, and she concentrated on her arm. Through the darkness, she could see a spark. It sputtered, then jumped into life, a small bolt of electricity.

Highly visible to anyone else on the Personnel Deck.OOC: Anyone else in the main room of the Personnel Deck, feel free to interact.

IC: 575 - Personnel DeckHaving calmed down, she reattached her spanner to her back and contemplated looking through all the notes her suit had on Mechanics.

'Bring up everything you have on Advanced Mechanics and Engineering.'

'Certainly.'

The hundreds of pages of information popped up again. She sat back against a wall, and began reading.

IC: 575 - Personnel Deck

Huh. This is new.

She found her arms locked by her sides, her breathing reverberating throughout her helmet. There was a loud whirring sound, unmistakably mechanical in nature, and she suddenly dropped, hitting the ground with a thud. 575 rose to her feet, observing her surroundings.'Hello! Is anyone there?'

'Hello' a soft, yet monotonous voice replied.'Who... who are you?'

'I am the Voice Interface for the Power Suit of Crew Member 00575.'

'Okay...' She stopped to gather her thoughts for a moment. 'Where am I?'

'You are aboard the starship Requiem IV, on the Personnel Deck.'

Pondering again.

'Is there anything important I should know?'

Suddenly, a hundred different windows popped up on her HUD, all with diagrams and numbers and instructions.

'Advanced Mechanics and Engineering.... huh.' Suddenly, there was a loud creaking sound, and she instinctively reached behind her back, withdrawing a large spanner, about a bio in length and quite heavy. She wielded the tool with uncertainty and unease, her hands shaking slightly.

'W-who's there?'OOC: 575 open for interaction.

So, question before I jump in;

What is the gravity on the Requiem? Is it lowered due to a power drain, non-existent, or comparable to that of Spherus Magna?

ID Tag: 575

Gender & Species: Female Toa of Lightning

Appearance: Dulled white power suit, with red outlining and designs spread throughout. Blue Kanohi Matatu without magnifying lens can be seen under visor. Tall and skinny, fairly agile.

Power Suit: Magnetic holster on back carries a large spanner for ship repairs and maintenance, small arc welder mounted on wrist powered by user element. Comes with knowledge of advanced engineering as well as severely limited blueprints of the Requiem. Speaks in soft female voice capable of basic conversation and interactivity.

Abilities: Kanohi Matatu, Mask of Telekinesis. Able to channel weak electricity at melee range through arc welder.

Personality: Crew Member 575 is very soft-spoken, not one to initiate conversation. When in conversation, however, she tries to carry it on as long as possible, as a result of her extended isolation within the Requiem. She could be described as "bubbly" by some, "incessant" by others, and "annoying" by the particularly cynical.

So, I'm back from my unexplained, unannounced break. Truth is, I got kind of bored with the RPG for a while, and I had a ton of schoolwork to stumble through. But now I'm done with that, so I guess I'm back for now .

*crickets*

IC: Zeal, Sister / Onu-Koro - Restaurant Interior

The two sat themselves at the table. 'So, what business do you have here in Onu-Koro?' the Le-Matoran inquired.

Zeal, meanwhile, set about ordering drinks for the group. 'I'll have a tea, please. You guys?'

'Oh, make that two.'

I know that feel, mate ._.

I mean, I know Onu-Wahi is usually slow, but when the whole RPG drops, it's just kind of an odd atmosphere.

IC: Zeal / Onu-Koro - Restaurant Exterior

Both of them sighed simultaneously. 'In that case, we've got nothing,' said the Silver Toa. 'Although we'll see if we can work something out with him. Maybe we'll find something that we previously looked over.'

IC: Zeal, Sister/ Onu-Koro - Restaurant Exterior

'Actually, yes. Surprisingly spacious down here, though.' She giggled at her decidedly terrible joke.

'A tracker, you say? I'm also looking for someone, Toa of Lightning, Calix, scimitar. Last I heard they were here, but that was a few months ago, so..' He shrugged.

IC: Sister / Onu-Koro - outside a restaurant

'Personal reasons. Long story short, I have a sister. Speaking of, have you seen her? Le-Toa, Kanohi Huna, three daggers?'

IC (Dekuna): It was evening by the time the four travellers made it to Onu-Koro, not that that meant much in the perpetual night of the earth village. Dekuna had never found how the Onu-matoran were able to keep their day/night rhythms steady without ever seeing the sun, but they seemed capable nonetheless. The village was quieting down now, as they finished conducting their business for the day, shut down their market stalls, factories and forges, and headed home to rest.

With a bit of luck, some of them wouldn't mind staying up a little longer to talk to them.

IC: Zeal, Sister / Onu-Koro - Village Gates

Having tied Aki-Nui up at the stable, the three entered the subterranean village. Sister shivered, not used to the cold of the underground.Zeal took off his cloak, and place it over the Le-Matoran's shoulders, where it trailed comically behind her. He stifled a laugh, and held up his hand, his palm igniting, giving off a lot of very pleasant heat. He immediately extinguished the flame upon seeing the odd looks the Ussalry were giving him. Didn't want to give them the wrong idea.

'So,' he said, leaning on his cane. 'You know anyone who may be able to help us? Because it looks like we got here at the wrong time.'

IC: Zeal, Aki-Nui / Ta-Koro - Lavapool Inn'Ahh, so you're still homeless, eh? Come to think of it, I haven't had a home since I got to this island. Really should get around to that.'They crossed the bridge, and reached the stable. Aki-Nui's head perked up at the sound of the two Toa conversing. Sound Friend see now! He rushed to the edge of the stable, looking at the group.

Zeal stroked the Bull's head, and opened the gate, before Sister jumped on his back. He then gestured for Dekuna to get on. The Toa of Sonics raised an eyebrow, leading Zeal to run a full circle around him in half a second.'It's okay,' he said, tapping his Kakama. 'I'll run.'OOC: Zeal, Sister, Aki-Nui, and presumably Dekuna to Onu-Wahi.

Bottom line, we don't like plurals here.

(Irony)

Seeing this made me really sad. It was always a big part of my childhood, and to see it go after such a long time....R.I.P Bionicle.com & Bioniclestory.com

IC: Zeal / Ta-Koro - Lavapool Inn'Better than nothing, even considering it's been a few months since Ga-Wahi.'As they left the inn on their way to the village gates to retrieve Aki-Nui, Zeal tried to make conversation with Dekuna. 'So, I've already explained what happened to me after we last met up. What've you been doing with yourself all this time?'

IC: Zeal / Ta-Koro - Lavapool Inn

'Doubt it. They have other matters to attend to.' He stood up, pulling up the hood on his cloak, and replacing the Mataraka in his pocket. 'We'll sort out this thing later. We should get going, before nightfall. Any ideas where we should search for Payiges and Sister's sister next?'
