Daniel the Finlander Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 (edited) IC: Dakku (Ta-koro, outside Sanguivox's hut) I decided that I needed a weapon just in case. "Um, can I get something for self defence? Like a knife or something?" I asked the detective. If the kidnapper(s) or Rahi will attack, I thought, I want to be able to defend myself if the Toa can't.

Ghosthands Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 IC Loraan grimaced indecisively. "No, I'm not," she replied quietly. "But technically, this isn't even a Guard operation any more. Ultimately, if any of these people want to come along, I can't stop them. But you're right; if they're not trained to fight, they'll only be putting themselves—and potentially the rest of us—in danger...unless they've got some other skill or value to the group." She turned to Dakku. "Why do you want to come on this expedition?" she asked him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeez, I know memory loss isn't exactly the rarest malady around here, but even so, this seemed like it was getting a little excessive. Still, nothing I could do about it but try and help them out best I could, so I put aside any commentary on the absurdity of the situation and devoted a little more of my energy in shooting our resident Ga-Toa (she's a Ga-Toa, right? did she say that she was a Ga-Toa before or....) a look of reproach. As it turned out, this little action managed to coincide with the Viz-man walking back into the room, holding something. "What did ya find?"

Irrie Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 IC Drararius:[Located wherever the rest of the quest team is, I think that's outside the Turaga's hut] Hearing the Turaga announce the beginning of the quest, Drararius got back on his feet. He put his small notebook away into his knapsacks and grabbed his jō. He glanced around warily, unsure of his newly-made companions. He scooted to the outside edge of the crowd, hoping to not cause any inconvenience for the others...the ones that were much stronger than he. His only benefit that could help the group was his knowledge of plants, so he expected to be viewed as a setback by the others. A waste of time. A freeloader. "Don't mess this up," he muttered to himself. But he then remembered how proficient he was with the jō. Maybe that could be useful. He looked at his weapon, then the weapons of the other beings. They had powerful tools made from professional designers and were manufactured to slaughter. He...he had a stick. "But a simple stick can disable even the most powerful creatures in the hands of the right person..." he murmured, admiring the polish that he recently applied to it. He sighed and looked upward into the air. He knew that he needed to think about the present, not worry about a possible future. "Let's see...Mangai..." He started to remember his trips around that area. Drararius had been on the slopes, but he had never gone into the volcano since there were no plants in there to study. Nor would he have liked it there, for he was a Ko-Matoran. "Guess we'll find some surprises there," he muttered. Returning from his thoughts, he took a long glance at the crowd around him, studying each of the beings that he would be traveling with. bZpOwEr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think...anyway...hmm...but it depends on how skilled the user is in the weapon. Plus, knowledge of how to exploit narrow openings that can split open armor is useful, too," he said while leaning on his thin staff.

Krayzikk Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 IC: Saeva had gone quiet, permitting the fire in her eyes to die a little. Her expression hadn't changed much as she kept eating her bowl of stew, but she could feel the change in the room's mood. The Ta-Toa could see the look on her companion's face, as well as the Vo-Toa's reaction. Given what she knew, she was certain she should say something. Some comment to break or alleviate the tension. Something to cheer them up. Something- "Old habits die hard, but the times that made them necessary are gone. That's always the way of it. Makuta's gone, but most of us still walk with our ears open and a weapon in our pocket. But," Saeva's mother continued, smiling warmly at the Toa of Lightning. "They're gone nonetheless. Eat as much or as little as you like. Just stay healthy." Well. She always was better at the 'people' thing. On this eve, the thirtieth anniversary of that first colony, many are left to wonder; is the world fast approaching a breaking point?

Daniel the Finlander Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 IC: Dakku (Ta-koro, outside Sanguivox's hut) "I've lived in Ko-koro for my entire life. I had never ventured beyond its frozen walls. I have always wanted to travel the island of Mata Nui, but.. I never had the guts to do it." I sighed. "My wife used to be a wandering bard and an adventurer. She is a brave woman, and I've always admired her for that.. but I never wanted to follow her, join her travels. Ko-koro was a safe haven for me, and I was content with living a peaceful, monotonous life inside the village. But.. Ko-koro is gone now", my voice shattered slightly for a moment, and I took a deep breath before continuing. "I felt so alive when I travelled thrugh the perilous marches of Le-Wahi with a group of refugees. It was an alien enviroment, but I wasn't afraid, to my surprise. I also learned to value life more when I saw how easily and quickly death can come. I actually enjoyed traversing the jungle. My wife got sick, unfortnately, but she is being treated in Le-koro. I want to understand her better now. I want to join you because of that. I must admit, I don't have any skills to offer to you, but I want to follow you either way. I won't be a burden, I promise. I have food and water. All I might need is protection, and even that might not be necessary." I glanced at Tharros, before turning my gaze back to the Ta-Matoran. "And who knows, maybe my skill and knowledge about construction might become handy, although I doubt it. If you want, I can stay here." I turned to Hile. "But this Ko-Matoran, Hile, shall chronicle this journey, so that it will not be forgotten. That is what he can offer, and suggest that you let him come with you. Who knows who or what has kidnapped those poor people? If you rescue the captured, surely you deserve to be remembered. He shall write down the events of this adventure.

Geardirector Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 (edited) IC: Corex (Ta-Wahi Beach) At first… there was nothing. Then… I felt something hard and grainy against my back... sand? And the chilly, wet feeli-ah, water, of course. What was I doing lying on a beach, though? I opened my eyes and sat up, meeting a familiar blue horizon stretching as far as the eye could see, that sight wasn’t new to me all, although it was nice to see it again. But upon turning my head to survey the surroundings, a mass of jagged, black spikes jabbed into my sight and made me blink. Shaking my head as I got up, I opened my eyes again to see. Where did these black rock formations come from? I’d never seen them before… or had I? My heart skipped a beat as I realized I couldn’t remember, not where I’d been, what I’d seen or heard or what I’d done, I knew I hadn’t seen these rocks before, but I didn’t know what I’d seen before them either. This is… this was wrong, something didn’t work right. I needed answers. I attempted to search my coat, only to find a metallic, rigid structure enter my vision, by all accounts I should’ve been shocked to find that my left arm was in fact a mechanical prosthetic, but something about seeing it felt oddly comforting, like it belonged there. Opening and closing the tri-pronged hand a few times, a few memory fragments came to me. I’d lost my arm in battle and gotten it replaced with this mechanical appendage, it’d been a pragmatic decision. I nodded in brief satisfaction; the picture was starting to make sense. Alright, I, personally, was in working order, so what I had to do next was familiarize myself with the surroundings. It was a fairly depressing affair at first, not much to look at but jagged, black rocks, and sand, but in the distance something slowly came into view. A red glow entered my vision as I could make out the contours of a settlement, apparently settled right in a lake of lava. If nothing else, it gave me a very good indication of who the inhabitants might be. At least the inhabitants would be familiar enough. “Ta-Matoran, that will do fine” With senses wary for a potential threat, I began approaching the walled settlement. Hopefully here I would be able to find out where I was and where I might go to find other answers.
