Kalama and Ta Rahkshi

... Wait... did you mean 0930 AM to 330PM? Or are you in school from 330PM to 930PM at night?

XD Reminds me of a joke I made about the Power Rangers in a comedy I wrote. "They haven't had job security since 1998!"

Dupe 'em then. It's not like they'll all be the same color. Each of my Marines are varying shades of blue.

Kalama nodded. "Exactly.""That would be lovely Again. Thank you." Tanuka said.-------Lei was stretched out, lying on her back in the saddle looking upside down at the world below her. "Mmmm..." She said. "Looks like they're going through Forge Valley. That's Glass Trapper territory. Hard to see but just as fragile." She giggled. "What a very apt name."

My bet is that will be the next ripoff.

"Glass Trappers," Kalama elaborated, "Are an offshoot of Fikou. They're about three times bigger though. Just shy of Turaga size. They're community hunters. They work together to bring down larger prey. They're resistant to extreme temperatures both hot and cold. Though they prefer Ko-Wahi as the legs are white so they can hide easier in the snow. The main body itself is almost entirely see-though. Hence the name. However unlike Jaga their exoskeletons aren't quite as tough so you can squish them easily. Provided you can make their numbers count for nothing through, There's a section of Forge Valley we need to pass through where there's a major nest. They can climb up walls and like to jump down on top of anything that passes through and bring them down with sheer numbers."Kalama shook the snow off him. "The only trick that makes them a threat, is that most of the time they see you long before you see them until they're on top of you. If you can spot them first and kill them fast enough, they're a nuisance at best. We've dallied long enough. Let's go."

They're waiting on Ghosthands himself who is probably a bit busy with life currently.Though Raknar has found himself covered in plushy lookalikes thanks to Doomslayer.

Nala refused to budge instead relaxing her full weight onto Ara'kas very much enjoying the warm location. "Bandits are the least of our worries. It's the Glass Trappers we have to watch for." She said shrugging off Ara'kas's nudge. "But Forge Valley is faster."

So it is.I'll clean it up later.So let's see. We have a Full-metal Alchemist reference and a Transformers reference. Am I missing anything or are we now taking bets on what reference comes out next?

"HA! You wish! Skyward my manservant! Your Queen commands it!"JAGGED PATHKO-WAHI DRIFTSKO-WAHI, 1947 HRS"Okay, now they look cold. Buurrrr! It's chilly up here too." Lei said shivering slightly.-------The Raiders were clustered around a heatstone taking a rest break from marching."Oi'd fergutten 'ow culd iz wuz up 'ere." Yuni said trying to rub some warmth back into her arms."We still got what... another six or seven hour march to reach the base?" Maya asked."Six." Kalama said. "Provided we cut through the Forge Valley Pass. Eight if we take the path near Clairvoyance Rock. Dunno how comfortable he'll be." Kalama said pointing at Fragarach. "Those with the spiritual communication masks avoid that place like the plague.""So it is true what they say about the rock?" Maya asked."I'd say there's a strong case for it. The last Toa who went there wearing an Elda went mad." Kalama said shaking icicles lose from his head. "Claims she sensed too many minds all trying for her attention."

Ga-Koro doesn't have guards, it has Marines.Probably the reason there's a high number of air Toa is the ability to create vacuums which supposedly incapacitate characters in a single go.

"Yeah i noticed. They don't seem to like the cold." Lei said hopping down. A skip, jump, and a tumble later, the Corporal found herself at Kalama's feet."All clear into the Jagged Path Com!" She said."Keep your head up Lei. Bound to be something.""Aye aye!" She chirped before bounding back up to the bird and remounting the Gukko.

"No actually, this is kind of facinating." She said as Kalama fluidly changed the cadence yet again. "They're singing to the beat of their own footsteps. If you listen you can hear the steady crunching of snow with each beat as they march. They're all in unison despite the Marines not really being in any of the marching formations I've seen around Ga-Koro."She gave Agarin a funny look. "I'm surprised you find it annoying considering your a musician. Some of these are kinda funny, no wonder the Marines are in good spirits.""Wut? Cadence?" Nala said yawning from Ara'kas's shoulders. "Oh, the Marines are singing." She said hearing the noise. "It's rather easy. You just repeat what the caller says, in this case the caller is Kalama."

Because I'm so good at it? XD What can I say? They're fun to play when you develop the character right.

OOC: Kalama's Raiders in from Ta-Wahi.NORTH MARCHKO-WAHI/TA-WAHI BORDERKO-WAHI, 1916 HRSKalama shielded his eyes from the sudden gust of ice and wind."Brrrr... it's cold up here.""There must be some Raiders in the At.mos.phere!" The Marines choursed in sing-song responce before laughing.Kalama grinned. "Doing it that way are we?""What are we doing?" Tanuka asked curious."Apparantly the girls want some cadence." Kalama said still grinning."Yeah! Come on sir! Get us pumped up!" Hotu called back. "We need something to warm us up as we march onward!""If you say so Hotu." Kalama took a breath and sang out with the rhymic cruching of the snow under his feet."I said BRRRRR! It's COLD UP HERE!"The Marines joined in."There must be some Raiders in the AT. MOS.PHERE!"The entire group started singing at once as they marched."I said BRRRRR! It's COLD UP HERE! There must be some Raiders in the AT. MOS. PHERE!"SINGIN' Oie! oie! oie! ICE! ICE! ICE! Oie! oie! oie! ICE! ICE! ICE!"They kept this up repeating it twice before Kalama started something new."They say that in the my-REENS! The coffee's mighty fine!""They say that in the my-REENS! The coffee's mighty fine!" The Raider's chorused."It looks like muddy wah-DER! It TASTES LIKE TURPINTINE!""It looks like muddy wah-DER! It TASTES LIKE TURPINTINE!""Great spirits!

The Marines looked at each other before looking at JL."Are you like... repressed or something?" Nuraka asked."Seriously." Maya said. "Most of us are happily single. Karz Juno is probably old enough to be your great many times over grandmother. She probably hasn't felt the need to date since we were brought to this island by Mata-Nui."Juno just blinked.Lei shrugged. "I flirt for personal reasons.""Bored." Nala said sleepily now located on Cyrax's shoulders."Besides..." Nuraka started."There's no such thing as consentual love in prision." The entire group of Raiders chorused."That is just asking for trouble." Hotu said."SKY TRIP!" Without waiting for Kalama's word, Lei hopped straight into the Gukko's saddle. "Let's fly!"As the scout went ahead the rest of the Raiders made their way onward.OOC: Kalama's Raiders to Ko-Wahi.

Whereas most of my characters are all females and I'm lacking in male characters. It's currently 4 to 11.

"You got RUKI OILED." Lei said."Noted." Hotu said."Raiders! Let's move out!" Kalama said as the bridge was raised opening the main gate of Ta-Koro to the rest of the island once again."Weeeeee're OFF TO SEE THE-... What are we off to see again?" Lei asked as she stopped mid-prance out on the bridge."We're off to Rock Frost to see how the VIPs are doing.""Right!" Lei said before continuing her skip across the bridge. "WE'RE OFF TO SEE THE MATORAN! SO WE CAN LEARN HOW TO KILL MAKUTA!" She sang skipping the rest of the way across the bridge and out of sight while the rest of the Marines moved at a much more leisurely pace."You're not worried about her?" Tanuka asked."Lei's my scout and she's very good at it." Kalama said. "She'll be fine."TA-KORO CABLE CARTA-WAHI/KO-WAHI BORDERTA-WAHI, 1902 HRS"What too you so long slowpokes?" Lei asked as the group arrived."We were waiting on a scouting report that never came." Kalama responded.TA-KORO PRISIONTA-KOROTA-WAHI, 1902 HRS"Get in there Utu!" Dren encouraged the Toa. "You keep dallying and the Turaga won't get to you until tomorrow."

"Nope." Nuraka said. "She's going to make him EAT IT..."Maya deposed the spoonful into the unconscious Toa's mouth and tilted his head back prompting him to swallow it. "There." She said. "Now I'm done."A shudder went through the Marines as they lowered their guard again the Head Chief Midshipwoman. "Guuuuh..." Hotu said. "Maya may be the best field surgeon in the Marines but that Ruki Oil is a strong reason to not get yourself wounded. I'd rather limp around with thirty holes in me before I eat any of THAT stuff!"

"Maya's got the Ruki Oil out!" Nuraka said. "That's NEVER good when she pulls that out! It's disgusting!""Oh hush!" Maya said. "It's perfectly healthy for you and heals all!""It tasted like week old rations mixed with day old Ruki that's been sitting in the sun for too long.""Ah TOLD ye, yeh shudna' taken' dat bet!" Yuni said explaining how Nuraka knew what it tasted like. "An' oi wuz roight wern' oi? 'Dunna' tooch et' ah told ya! An' ye wen an' ate da whoooool THANG!"

Kalama shook his head. "Kali when did we get so popular?""We're the only ones actually fighting sir." Kali grinned. "Instead of sitting around like a bunch of fat Husi just waiting for the skinner.""And that's why they made you a Helm Major. Keep thinking like that and you'll make Captain soon enough.""With all due respect sir, they can shove the Captain rank. My place is right here as your XO.""Cause you LOOOOOVVEE him so much!" Lei teased in a sing-song manner.Kali flushed. "I do not!""Do too!""Do NOT!""Do too! You do you do you do!""SHUT UP!""Lei quit antagonizing the XO. Kali quit lying to yourself." Kalama said.The Marines laughed at the interesting color the Marine Officer turned as she tried to hide her face.Kalama looked up from the note with a widened eye at Sisk. "If you think you can hang." He skritched out a short message under Sisk's.TO: KONGU, SKY MARSHALGUKKO FORCE HIGH COMMANDFROM: KALAMA, COMMANDERKALAMA'S RAIDERSSUBJECT: TEMPORARY TRANSFER OF STAFF SERGENT SISKStaff Sergent Sisk of the Tamers has requested that he join the above unit, KALAMA'S, RAIDERS on a temporary basis.While I am wary of taking a non-special forces asset into a Ghekula Raiders group, he has requested this voluntarily. Personally I believe it might be of some use to him for experience and if he preforms satisfactory, would give my recommendation for his candidacy into your Deepwoodsmen Special Forces, should he survive to return to your command.As such, I am willing to accept him under my command until such time ether he, I, or you see fit to return him to his former position.Kalama, COMKALAMA'S RAIDERS, COMMANDING17TH GHEKULAS"There." He said handing the letter back to Sisk. "Maya! You almost done?""Almost." She pulled out the Ruki oil."Ohhhh boy." Nuraka said as the Marines all drew their discs to shield against Maya.

Fishing spear lands at your feet narrowly missing impaling them."Knock it off Searag! You're scaring the fish!"XD It had to be done. Again.Suddenly I feel as though I have a running gag.

OOC: Post if you please Vezok.IC: Kalama looked up from the letter at Xibre for a minute examining him before shrugging and going back to the note. "Sure. I don't mind. I seem to pick up more people willing to follow me around lately."Dren got off his trident walking behind the offenders as they were led off. "Let's GO Utu! No lolly gagging! Sooner you're back in your cell the faster I can request Vakama!""Ohhh, you're one of the WILD tamers." Kali said now understanding. "One of the ones that actually goes out into the field and catches the Rahi for domestication. THAT explains why they let you loose.""Wild tamers?" Hotu asked confused."There's two kinds of tamers, those that actually train the Rahi and those that catch them. That's how our tamers work for the Heavy Support units." Kali responded."Ah."Maya smacked the back of Fragarach's head. "Quit cryin' and hold still then! I can't patch you up if you keep moving!""And once our Medic finishes her medicking then we'll move on to Ko-Wahi." Kalama said.

"First time on the front lines huh Sisk?" Kali said folding her arms. "Not surprising you don't know some of this stuff, the marks you're wearing eye dee you as a Tamer and not even an officer at that. Not a required skill set I imagine. I'm surprised they let you out of the Koro or where ever you were stationed. Nuraka I understand as she's about as close to a combat engineer you can get without the official designation but why they would let you run around without being attached to a unit is a mystery to me.""I ain't signing what I haven't read yet." Kalama said taking the parchment and charcoal before reading the note. "Not bad, not bad." He said to Xibre perusing the note. "Few more scrapes and bruises but overall doing fine." He glanced at the Matoran. "You can relax. The girls won't bite. Well Lei won't bite much.""I'm a biter!" Lei said proudly."Just don't get in a fight with her and she won't bite." Kali said before looking at Lei who snuck behind Xibre and prepared to take a big bite out of his shoulder in a playful manner.Kali nodded at Maya who promptly whacked Lei with her javelin."OW!""No biting Corporal!""Kali! Maya's being MEEEEEEAAAAANNN!" Lei whined."You deserved it." Kali said. "No biting people."Lei stuck her tongue out at Kali which earned her another whack from Maya."OW!""Shipper quit hitting the Corporal." Kalama said."Aye Sir."OOC: Need the contents of the note Vezok.

Kylina snorted. "Insert something extremely wise here? You'll have to do better than that. But it was worth a smile so that's what you get." She grinned.Xavier nodded back to the Kahu. "We should get going Kylina or we'll be late for check in.""Oooooh, late for check in. They'll be so worried about us." Kylina laughed. "Good one Xavier. Well I suppose we'd at least better do that. Nice meet you all. We'll keep checking in."
