Ghosthands Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 IC “Your creator? Who is he--I don’t recall hearing of him.” Again the shuddering hiss of 'laughter' emanated from the creature. "YOU KNOW HIM. ALL KNOW HIM. WE SEE IN THE THRALLS' MINDS: FEAR, YES, YOU FEAR HIM, THINK HIM TERRIBLE...BUT ALSO THINK HIM DEAD..." It paused, and made a guttural noise that sounded pensive. "WE DID NOT THINK HE WOULD DIE...DID NOT THINK HE COULD. MAYBE YOUR MINDS LIE." IC: Corex (Mangaia Catacombs) "And then what?" I asked, voicing the obvious question (past time, too). "When you become strong, what then?" "THEN," the creature replied, "WE GROW. REACH OUT UNDERNEATH, THROUGH EARTH AND STONE, AS HE DESIRED! WE WILL DO WHAT WE WERE MADE TO DO, AND SHOW HIM WHO MADE US THAT HE WAS WRONG!" The tendrils and tentacles writhed with unconcealed glee. IC: Venemi - Mangai tunnelsWhile the unnerving creature spouts rasped words, I catch the eye of a Ta-Matoran among the group, subtly nodding towards the mind-slaves. I was stupid not to have assessed all the powers this group had to offer before we set off. As a result, our fighting thus far has been chaotic and unorganized, not to mention the fact that I don't know what powers we have available to reach the "workers" below.I can't risk asking round - the monster can obviously hear us well enough. But if the others can keep that Karzahni of a monstrosity distracted, we can decide on a plan of action, of sorts. As casually as I can, I make my way over to the detective. Usually I'm not one for teamwork, but here timing will be crucial. Loraan turned her head slightly as Venemi sidled up to her and Lucira. While the creature was busy talking in its bizarre voice, she spoke a few quiet words just loud enough for those near her to hear. "We have to free these people," she muttered. "And...I don't think we can leave this thing alive." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mel Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 (edited) [Ta-Wahi, Mangai Tunnels] Lucira’s teeth clenched at the thing’s reply. It has some form of telepathy? “To be honest I’m not sure we can,” Lucira said. “But we should concentrate our efforts on the ones feeding from the lava. Also--” she cast her eyes towards the lesterin of plantlife “--if you have any more poison or acid I would suggest aiming for the orange ‘eyes.” She turned to Loraan. “Detective, I suggest you and I and anybody else without strong range capabilities concentrate on freeing the captives. Also--if that thing’s telling the truth it’s able to read our mines somewhat. We should be careful.” Edited June 20, 2015 by Mel There's a dozen selves inside you, trying to be the one to run the dials [BZPRPG Profiles] Hatchi - Talli - Ranok - Lucira - Ferellis - Morie - Fanai - Akiyo - Yukie - Shuuan - Ilykaed - Pradhai - Ipsudir And some aren't even on your side.

Not Quite Dead Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 IC SolviShe very nearly ran into the slightly-above-average-but-still-slightly-shorter-than-her height grey-clad Toa that was exiting the music hall with a cracked up laughing at a funeral kind of look on his face. Pakari, grey colorations, likely a Fa-elemental, unrecognized. Though that last one could be owing to her frequent missions abroad, so she'd give him the benefit of a doubt and assume he was a newly minted guard, not some civilian with a map short a compassrose and completely lost.

Was just looking for her myself, ma'am. She pull a fast one on you too?"Something about the way she carried herself made him think she had a higher rank, despite not having seen her around during the most recent crisis. Didn't Angel tell him once about this one rank that basically let you take missions abroad alone? Warrant Officer or something? Maybe she was that.Or maybe he was just bad with faces.

Void Emissary Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 IC: With a heavy sigh, I pushed myself up and slipped my legs over the bench's side so that I was sitting properly. One arm rested against the arm of the seat, the remnants of my cheese sandwich clutched in my fingers. The heat was starting to melt it, along with most other things in the village. "Nah, most places," I said, taking another bite of my meagre meal, "are pretty decent. Po-Koro's worse, sure, but Ko-Koro's a beautiful little spot to watch the sunset from, and Le-Koro's got some of the best restaurants and concerts this side of the island. Onu-Koro might be a bit claustrophobic, but its a real hubbub of activity and you tend to meet loads of interesting people there. And, heck, Ga-Koro's second to none; if you never visit another place in your life, visit Ga-Koro. Or Kini-Nui, I guess.

"I, for one, find Ta-Koro to be a perfectly fine place to be, so long as you stay away from any large lava flows. Floods here are worse than they might be in Ga-Wahi." Edubard grinned at Elkau, showing a set of perfectly taken care of teeth. "Jury's still out on whether or not Ta-Koro lava floods are worse than any floods in Onu-Wahi, though. I rather think, myself, that dying quickly in a river of molten rock (but with a small possibility of getting out and surviving) might be better than slowly dying, one hundred percent surely, by drowning in a cavern full of water with no escape whatsoever."
