Vestak

IC: Jalkron

Jalkron shrugged.  "I wouldn't know, I only met him briefly."

IC: Jalkron

Jalkron shook his head.  "Unless something delayed them for a few weeks, no.  They were headed to Ga-Koro.  I think he thinks you're dead.  He mentioned that his whole team had been killed."

IC: Jalkron

Jalkron sat quietly while the other two talked, deep in thought.  A grim expression crossed his face for a second, but when he looked up it was gone.  "Your Brother was in Ihu-Koro a few weeks ago.  He was traveling with a De-toa, two matoran, and some sort of Vortixx cyborg thing."

IC: Jalkron (Charred Forest)

Jalkron watched the arrow scratch the tree.  "Better, but an hour or two of target practice couldn't hurt. keep at it."  Jalkron looked back at Ikinu when he asked the  question.  He remembered a toa of air in the group that had rescued him, but wasn't sure what mask he was wearing.  "Why?"

IC: Ikinu

Ikinu's head was spinning. He had nearly been killed by those strange people. Deriksha had gotten away but........   

He nearly tripped over a Toa whilst thinking and walking. He stumbled forwards. "I'm so sorry..I'm not steady on my feet at the moment, brother." He said, bowing his head.

OOC: That's you Vestak.

IC: Jalkron

Jalkron heard someone walking through the forest, and as he turned someone nearly fell on him.  "I'm so sorry..I'm not steady on my feet at the moment, brother."

Jalkron reached out a hand to steady him.  "It's fine, I was in a similar position not to long ago."

OOC: Starting singing, and Razsk will blow your eardrums.

IC: Razsk

Aurorin was still gawking at anything that was even the slightest bit nicer than it was in Ko, which was just about everything at the moment.  It was kind of hilarious.  "Aurorin, calm down," Razsk called, grinning.  "If you looked up the definition for the word 'tourist' right now, there would be a picture of you next to it."

IC: Jalkron

Jalkron whistled.  "Impressive.  You don't see many bows doing that.  Your aim could use a little work though," Jalkron said, grinning.  "Try again," he said, creating another arrow.

IC: Jalkron

Jalkron raised an eyebrow at the bow.  "Nice score.  I don't really have any reason either, except it's warm here.  Before coming here I was fighting in Ko-Koro.  I wasn't able to do much before some piece of Rahi dung threw me into a wall of spikes.  Then I woke up in a hospital with a dozen holes in my back.  Still aches occasionally, but for the most part only scars are left."  Eyeing the bow again, he creates a small metal arrow.  "I'm curious about your bow.  This should work."

IC: Jalkron

"That it would.  What brings you to Ta-Wahi?"

 

IC: Jalkron

 

Jalkron hears something not too far away, one or two people, talking.  He heads over to investigate, calling out, "Hello?"

 

OOC: Sorry, missed this

 

IC: Helios (Charred Forest)

 

"Ah, hi there" I said as I saw a cloaked Toa of Iron come by. That cloak wasn't half bad on him, it it hadn't been for my snazzy hat he might have had me beat.

 

"I was catching a break, guess you heard me talking to myself" I said as I offered him my hand.

 

"It's a bad-rid habit-thing of mine"

 

OOC: Not a problem.  I haven't been on much either what with Christmas and all.

IC: Jalkron

Jalkron shook Helios hand.  "I prefer thinking to myself rather than talking out loud.  When you are quiet, you can hear things, and other things can't hear you.  I'm Jalkron."

IC: Helios (Charred Forest)

 

I came walki-no.

 

I came strol-no.

 

I came strut-no.

 

Might as well be straightforward about it.

 

I came hobbling out between the ashen trees, leaning on my trusty hammer like a cane as I cast a triumphant glance at the silhouette of Ta-Koro on the horizon. Or I would have if my hat hadn't slid down in front of my eyes.

 

"Heh, guess it could be plenty worse" I said to no one in particular as I found a rock to prop myself on, to catch a break near the impressive view.

 

I was wiped, and a little bruised, but all in all pretty awesome feeling. It had been quite a ride, and I'd gotten a shiny new bow to show for it.

 

"Not a disk launcher, but... if I can fire one weapon I guess I can learn to fire another, too." I thought out loud.

IC: Jalkron

Jalkron hears something not too far away, one or two people, talking.  He heads over to investigate, calling out, "Hello?"

IC: Jalkron

Jalkron got off the cable car and began walking.  Right now he would give just about anything for a kulasi, but there wasn't a single being on the island that sold masks, as far as he knew.  Still, Ta-wahi wasn't a walk in the park, one of the harsher regions.  It wouldn't surprise him if he found a corpse.  Finding one that still had anything of value on it, much less a specific mask, would practically be a miracle.  Still, with nothing better to do, Jalkron kept his eyes open.

IC: Razsk

Razsk nodded.  "We're almost there, we'll get food when we get there."

IC: Razsk

Razsk shrugged.  "Sorry, I'm hungry.  It usually makes me a bit irritable."

IC: Razsk

"That was not clever, that was luck, and how heavy was that bag if you had two solid zamors in it?"

IC: Razsk

Razsk watches the metal ball plunge into the ocean.  "Unless you have more of those, that launcher is going to be useless."

OOC: Sorry, kinda forgot about this.

IC: Jalkron

Jalkron reached into a pocket and tossed the widgets over.  "Ko-koro.  Can I go now?  I hate the cold."

IC: Razsk

"I think we should have a name.  If we ever become known, what are people going to call us?  'That weird group of toa, matoran, and a terrifying Vortixx cyborg'?  No thanks."

IC: Razsk

"Please tell me you are joking."

IC: Razsk

"While it sounds cool, it implies that we have all been exiled, and I have not, as far as I know.  Essie couldn't have been exiled from anywhere, we've been with her pretty much every second since she woke up, and it doesn't seem likely to me that you or Aurorin were exiled from anywhere.  Laike, probably Ihu-Koro, but that's it, if I had to guess.  So not a good name for us.  Anyone else?"

IC: Razsk

As the strange group walked towards Ga-Koro, Razsk said, "We should really come up with a name for ourselves.  Anyone have any ideas?"

IC: Jalkron

Jalkron looks up, raising an eyebrow at the plasma cannon.  "Yeah, Ta-Koro.  I'm going to assume that you want payment or something, because I can't think of any other reason you would stop me.  How much?"

IC: Jalkron

Jalkron trudges through a mound of snow and sees the cable car.  It's about time, he thought.  It's not like every part of me is numb from cold or anything.  As quickly as his frozen fingers could, he opened the door to the cable car and darted inside, glad to be out of the biting wind.  He sat down and began rubbing his arms, trying to restore feeling in them as the cable car began it's decent towards Ta-Wahi.

OOC: Jalkron to Ta-Wahi

IC: Jalkron

Jalkron walked through the snow, using his staff to help him through some of the steeper areas of the mountains.  After he had been rescued by Razsk, he had done nothing but lie in bed waiting for the holes in his back to heal.  It had been unbearable, and the doctor wasn't much for conversation, not that Jalkron was either.  he cursed the bitter cold as he forced his way through a snow drift, clutching his tattered cloak around him, which, being think and riddled with holes from the fights at Ko-Koro, barely even kept out the wind.  He kept moving, heading for the cable car and Ta-Koro, and more importantly, warmth.

OOC: Don't do it Daronus.

IC: Razsk

"What Aurorin is trying to say is that it is something enjoyable, which is kind of an emotional thing.  So from your viewpoint, there is no reason, we simply came because we could."
