--IC: Gairu-- Gairu clinked his glass together with the others' and took a good long swig from it. Ah, that was good stuff. "So now that we've thwarted a bar fight and formed an alliance, what comes next?" he asked Kultax.

--IC: Viis-- "Nope."

"I'm totally cool with Brutaka's decision to betray the Order of Mata Nui." Speaking of which... Brutaka

--IC: Gairu-- Gairu grinned. "I'm just messing with you. I don't want it to start again, either." The waiter came by with the bottle of bubbly and five glasses. Gairu filled them up and passed them to Kultax, Ayna, Biotron, and Konihi. Raising his own glass, he said, "Cheers, guys."

"Know what? I don't need to get back to my old body." Rahaga Norik

--IC: Viis-- "What progress I have made is pitiful. Then again, it's only my first day practicing; I shouldn't expect to be good at it on my first day."

--IC: Gairu-- "Innocent? I'd hardly say that you were innocent in that situation, Biotron. After all, your mouth did result in the orange-and-white guy attacking us."

--IC: Viis-- "Yeah, it's sort of like a martial art," Viis answered. "It involves honing your senses so that you can sense where everything is. There's a lot more projectile-throwing than normal martial arts, though."

--IC: Viis-- "Thanks," Viis replied. She was starting to like this guy. He seemed good-humored, which was a good thing to be when interacting with a sad-sack like her. A delicious smell greeted her nostrils. She heard Thel begin to eat. "That smells good. Hey waiter, I'll have what he's having," she called, gesturing to the dish Thel was tucking into.

--IC: Gairu-- "Oh dear. She sounds like a handful. Though I can't say I blame her; I'd be pretty ticked, too, if my teammates abandoned me." Biotron chose that moment to join them. "HEY, you forgot meeeeee!" he squealed. "Of course we forgot you," Gairu retorted. "You didn't say whether you wanted a share of the bottle, so we just assumed you didn't want any and went on ahead."

--IC: Viis-- "Funny enough that you mention an Arthron, Thel; I'm actually looking for one right now, and have been since I got out of the hospital. That'd make Unseen Fighting a whole lot easier." Viis took another glug of her hard cherry cola. "If you know where I can find one, that'd be swell." "As for what these are on my hands, they're just numbers. Nothing too important."

--IC: Gairu-- As Gairu, Kultax, Konihi, and Ayna sat at the table, Gairu called out, "Hey waiter! I need a bottle of bubbly for five, if you please!" Turning to Kultax, he added, "And while you're at it, you can tell me all about this Betrii character I keep hearing you mention."

--IC: Viis-- "Yes, I'm sure," Viis replied, a little snippier than she meant to. "I can't just sit around my house and do nothing now that I can't see. I want to do something with my life; something that I believe will positively impact the island. before the accident, that was science; now, it's Unseen Fighting." Her tone as she said these things revealed her determination to go through with her plans. "Although... I'm still not entirely sure about it," she continued.

--IC: Gairu-- "That's three. You two Matoran had better pipe up, or we'll be forced to drink your share of the bottle ourselves."

--IC: Viis-- Viis sipped her hard cherry cola. Ah, that was good stuff. "Since I can't do science anymore," she told Thel, "I've decided to practice the Unseen Fighting. It's a combat style for blind people. I feel like I should still contribute something positive to society even though I can't do my old job anymore, and with the rumors I've been hearing about Ko-Koro's influx of brigands, I feel like combat training is a good way to make that contribution, y'know? Keep the scum of the island in check."

--IC: Gairu-- "Sweet. It's great to meet you all. I can tell we're going to have an awesome time together. Come on, let's celebrate our alliance with a bottle of good ol' bubbly! I'll buy, if all of us are allowed to drink, that is," said Gairu, looking cheerfully at Ayna and Biotron as if to assure them that he was only joking. --OOC:-- Achievement Get! I joined an alliance! +25 GamerScore to me!

--IC: Viis-- "I'll have a hard cherry cola. Low ice."

--IC: Viis-- "No, I wasn't a dentist. Why is it that people who see me in my lab coat automatically assume that I'm a dentist? Can they please stop? I've been called a dentist too many times in my life." After pausing from her little vent, Viis continued, "I used to be a scientist. I studied the animals and plants here, and sometimes mixed chemicals from them together. Word to the wise, Thel: don't combine Ruki pheromones with lily pad buoyancy compounds. They don't go well together; in fact, they explode. That's how I got this," she added, gesturing to her blindfold.

--IC: Viis-- "No, it's not my way of picking up boys," Viis jested back. "Anyway, I don't need boys when I'm married to the job... Or, I was married to the job, until... Y'know."

--IC: Gairu-- Gairu grinned in kind. "I assume Ayna's this little black Matoran?" he asked, placing his hand on her head playfully.

--IC: Viis-- Viis felt an arm wrap around hers and a male voice say, "Hey. Need a hand?" "Yes, please," she replied, dropping her sign and letting the person guide her. After a moment of silence, she said, "Hi. I'm Viis. What's your name?" --OOC:-- Sup, Wade.

--IC: Gairu-- "Well, I know what comes next for me, that's for sure," Gairu said. Turning to Kultax, he said, "You know, Kultax, since I met you guys, I've had about the best fifteen minutes I've had since I fought that Rahi. I can tell there's not really a dull moment with you guys. I guess what I'm saying is... D'you wanna form an alliance or something? Can I join your squad?"

--IC: Gairu-- Gairu let out a long breath, calming himself down. "Sorry," he said sheepishly. He held out his hand to Biotron in apology.

--IC: Gairu-- Oh gosh. Biotron was back. "Who knew that making reasonable questions could get someone hurt. By the way, were you all mugged by him?" "First off," Gairu growled, "asking reasonable questions didn't get anyone hurt. It was your harassing the orange-and-white guy that got us into this mess. And no, we weren't mugged by him; he panicked and lashed out in fear." He shook his head. "What's your DEAL, Biotron? What beef have you got against that guy?!" he shouted, shoving Biotron against the wall angrily. Now the brown horned dude was mocking him. "Did I not say things would escalate if you joined in? And did things not just escalate? It's not a success when there's a very real chance things could have gone so much better." He smirked. That smirk was infuriating. "Oh, shut up, Horns," Gairu growled.

--IC: Gairu-- Gairu deactivated his sonic powers; his armor stopped glowing. Now he was able to gauge how much that plasma burn on his shoulder hurt. He started rubbing it, trying to ease the pain a bit. The brown dude with horns was out here now. "I feel like this is an 'I told you so' moment," he said. "Oh, you didn't tell me so," Gairu responded. "Anyway, the fight's over, and nobody's dead. I'd call that a success." Noticing Kultax's wounded leg, he pulled up two chairs from the patio, sat Kultax in one, and propped his leg up with the other. "Here. Let's get you off that leg. You OK?" --OOC:-- I'm silver, Invisible Noob.
