Makuta Almanax

IC: Celite Celite would take Surina's word on that. Of all the things she had done in her life, even this seemed at least a little despicable. However, it was necessary and the Turaga was more than willing to justify it. "You are perhaps one of the most dark-minded Matoran I have ever seen, Surina. Not that it is a bad thing, of course. I think I can trust you well when the plan goes through. Now all we must do is wait for our victim's return."

IC: CeliteCelite confessed to Surina, "I am not as good a judge of character as you might think. Though based on your conversations it would seem his judgement is clouded in part by a past relationship between the two of you. But could there be more to it than that?"

IC: Celite"A very strong welcome, in my eyes. And so very effective." Celite stated in full approval. "But we must still make sure we don't overlook certain details, and we have still yet to do the deed itself. There's a good many factors which could interfere and should anything come that we cannot intervene with we may find ourselves lost of freedom...or worse."

IC: Celite"Thank you for offering." She said as they passed trough the fortified entrance and began setting foot on the segmented walkways. "My own hut is quite the distance from here, so it would be preferable- but I hope I'm not being a burden." After a short walk, Celite began holding back once more, realising she was taking the lead to a location she should not know.

OOC: I'll cover the trek post here.IC: CeliteAs she was led out of the Koro, Celite was intrigued about the relationship of the two Matoran. The memories seemed painful for the Le-Matoran but less so for Surina. Continuing to play her role, the Vo-Turaga asked as they carried on through the dense jungle, "I'm sure you have reservations, but how did the two of you 'encounter'?" She quickly decided to repeal her question, "Nevermind, that would be insensitive to bring up. Ah! I think that's the edge of the Jungle. I am glad I could trust you as my escorts."OOC: Celite (presumably &Co) to Ga-Wahi again

OOC: My mistake. At least it was humorous IC: Celite "Excellent, excellent!" The Vo-Turaga said, gesturing to the two. "We should take the quickest route possible. I suppose both of you know what that route is? I regret to say since my arrival I've not become very familiar with pathways. Do take the lead for me."

IC: ThentyleThe Toa of Earth had caved in to his own desire and was now in one of the tunnels not far from the Koro itself, digging and softening the earth on the ground to make a pitfall, without so much as a thought. This tunnel wasn't too well-travelled, which made working here easier. But at the same time, he could end up waiting a long time before someone would happen across the earthy pit in the darkness. When he was jsut about done and climbed out, he covered it with a thin layer of earth, kept together very loosely by moisture. He then hurried out of the tunnel and leaned back near the entrance, which was quite close the the edge of Onu-Koro's main entrance. OOC: Open for interaction/trapping

IC:Celite waited to ensure that the Toa and Le-Matoran were not looking at her when she responded, "Indeed...He could also interfere later..."If they were to successfully carry off the plan and dealt with Viima, there would be no doubt that if word got around this Toa would become a spanner in the works.

IC: Celite "I am Celite, my dear." She said with a false tone of kindness. "Nice to meet you, 'Viima' and Surina."

IC: Celite This could be troublesome..."The Akiri, you say..?" Even when trying to seem like a complete stranger, Celite was unable to hold back curiousity as to why Viima needed to discuss anything with the Akiri of this village. After all, such meetings had to be important, and if this Matoran were to get involved in anything too far, it could cause problems later. She gave a cautious look to Surina, if only brief, and then decided to try guilt-tripping Viima. "Very well. I shall wait out here, on my own. Honestly I thought Le-Matoran were respectful to their elders..." The last part of her sentence was intentionally muttered, though kept audible in the least.

IC: Celite So this is what she meant by be prepared for the unexpected. Celite sighed with a smile beneath her Rau and did as instructed; she waited for just the right moment. She ensures that she looked like she was merely admiring the sites, all the while keeping an eye on the two Matoran. At what seemed to be the right moment, she slowly walked towards the ex-couple, acting as polite as she could. "Excuse me, my dears." She said, her voice sounding slightly more aged than usual, "But I need some assistance in returning to my home in Ga-Koro. Would you be able to escort me?" She gave a light bow to emphasise her request.

IC: Litozen"Hm...yes, I do overlook that option. But then there's the matter of doing that and--" He stopped for a moment. Something didn't quite feel right, like he was on edge. He gave an odd look before turning to face Syvra once more. "...is it me," he began, "or does it feel like we're being spied on?"IC: CeliteCelite nodded as she walked to the elevator. "Very well. I'll keep my distance for the time being and follow you with a safe distance. Though I'm afraid I can't do much if we catch trouble here." Once inside the elevator, she waited for it to go up. "Such a useful thing for those of us who can't climb." She said happily.

IC: Litozen"Well, if we're looking for other followers, where could we look? I highly doubt walking by the shadow standard is going to gain much favour." He looked just out of the alley, at the Koro, where everyone was doing their usual routines. From the outset, nobody looked particularly suspicious or like they were followers. "I'm sure there must be somewhere they congregate, or used to." OOC: Celite from Ga-WahiIC: CeliteThe Vo-Turaga took her time in her journey with Surina. After all, it was no easy trek to get to Le-Wahi all the way from Ga-Wahi. After only a few minutes in the Jungle Place, it was safe to say she did not enjoy the marshland and swampiness of the jungle area. "Are we close to the Koro, yet?" She said, frustrated.

OOC: Nothing of importanceIC CeliteQuickly, Celite made her way out of Surina's hut and walked as she always did, with a slight hobble that comes from age. Keeping up with her allied Matoran, she made her way to and through the Ga-Koro gates, heading for Le-Wahi. OOC: Celite to Le-Wahi

I highly doubt "Matoran Fixing" would have been part of the tests, considering how poor a job Karzahni does of it. It wouldn't make sense to set the loser of such a test on a mission to rebuild the broken, would it? In fact, they could have just banished Karzahni and made something/one better to replace him. Honestly the GBs seemed to be quite idiotic in retrospect.

I was of the opinion that you could liken the Makuta to the TARDISes of Doctor Who; all the same when made, but could change their form (the latter as we all know is canon). So I am of the opinion that at least when they were made there was some form of 'standard' used. Perhaps they weren't identical, though - other 'first' beings in the MU all shared the same design but had differences. But it is extremely likely that most of them changed into a form they preferred. That said I've got a soft spot for thinking that Teridax's set form (minus the staff and Kraahkan) would presumably be similar to the 'default' (but with wings, naturally). It's probably just because his set was just called "Makuta" on account of his name not being disclosed at the time. Naturally the kraata chambers wouldn't have been there and they would have been slightly different due to not being beings of Antidermis on creation.

iC: Litozen "I just wanted somewhere that was truly private." Litozen said as he cast down a field of silence around them . "And in any case, this area is in the shadows, too. I think it's only fitting for discussing what to do now. After all, I know it's been a while since it happened, but...Makuta is gone. So what should we do to carry on his will?" His voice became incredibly dark for the last sentence. So much so, that it would be hard to tell if he was intentionally altering the frequency or if he really was dead serious about the matter.

iC: Celite She nodded. "Very well. I've been getting tired of this place anyway. There have been too many meddlers today." She rose to her feet and gave a courteous bow to her host. "Well then, Surina.I thank you for your help thus far." She extended her hand out in an offered handshake, "let us make haste to enact the plan."

IC:"I never thought a Ga-Matoran could be so meticulous." Celite said in cruel admiration. "The heartlight is a powerful thing, and so easy to manipulate, you sly rahi." As she said this, she leaned foward and rested her head atop her hands, which were clasped together. "I suppose all that is left now would be how we can appear to be 'saviours' and most importantly, what to do with our 'criminal'?" The Vo-Turaga, much like Surina, was enjoying the conversation. Her dream may well come to fruition in a form. She might even become significant for the first time in many, many years. "The obvious method would be to 'catch' him and serve 'justice'. Solitary confinement, thrown out to sea. Or even into the Ta-Wahi lava. That would no doubt put us in good light. Well, the former would. The latter would be AFTER assuming office, unless you can keep him quiet in the same manner that you drag the Le-Matoran into this?"

I am both excited and worried about the episode in a few minutes. His name should not be touched. I really, REALLY hope it's going to be averted somehow. But we will learn something important. Perhaps a family secret, or something about the Time War. I don't know...but I do expect it to be interesting. So to conclude:This series overall has been a mixed bag, especially this half. I would have preferred some two-part stories to flesh out things a bit more and not all the choices were good. But as a finale for series 7 I think it did WONDERFULLY! Throughout most of it my breaths were deep and my whole body was tense. It was marvellous...though there were a few issues.

IC: CeliteHer eyes widened. Not in shock, but rather in approval. "That would generate some severe strains in relations betnween the two Wahi. You could potentially cause a war with the right rumours. I like that idea..." The Vo-Turaga gave another wicked chuckle to nobody in particular. This terrible day had turned itself around extremely nicely. It seemed ironic to want to thank Mata Nui for this chance, but she could not help it. "In my travels, I have seen how easily factions can turn under the right conditions...and it's surprising how popular a warmonger can be when they lead. But even so, there are still those who might...disapprove of my appointment."

IC: Litozen noticed the oddness of Syvra's actions, but dismissed them, How could one maintain a normal psyche with a mask that can talk and project itself. Soon, they came to the Koro's edge. The Toa of Sonics wasted no time in getting to the nearest elivator and taking it up. He looked for a gap between two buildings where they could stand undisturbed; Litozen did not feel like frequenting a tavern at this time. Once he chose a location, he sneaked down and began preparations for a sound barrier as soon as Syvra and he were in close enough proximity.

IC: Celite"Well, that much should not be too much of a problem. Creating distrust is significantly harder, or at least I would believe so based on some of the Toa who challenged me today...But when it comes to disposing of a Ga-Matoran, well..." The grim aspect was not much of an issue, even if Celite truly wanted to avoid it in her heart. "We'd need to be able to stop her from getting attention, first. Whatever we do would ave to be quiet as possible, and not in the limelight." She took another drink and carefully thought out different scenarios in her mind. "It's also likely that even with her gone, there's more than likely someone who would be considered a rightful successor, and we'd both need some kind of solid reason to take the office ourselves. I don't want to be killed myself before I can do anything, after all."

IC: Litozen "Shut up, Syvra." The De-Toa said indignantly. Just because he'd warmed up to the Toa of Plantlife didn't mean he was fine with being mocked. "...in any case, I'm sure you know what we need to discuss now. A certain 'dark' subject?"

IC: Celite"Flattery has been a weakness of mine." She said, smiling at Surina's remark. It also made her think once more of her Toa days. "Such plans would be easy to pull off if I were still a Toa. I was once a mercenary , so I have had experience in fighting and elemental control, not that it means much when you become a Turaga. I've made do with it but in retrospect I feel like I should not have been so willing to give up my Toa-hood." With that, Celite took a swig of the drink, the liquid pouring through the mouth-grill of her Rau. "Oh, I believe we have not been fully introduced. My name is Celite." She said politely.
