Wade. Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 IC: Laviha"Fair enough." Laviha replied, gladly accepting the seat Grochi had offered her."Back in the day, I was kinda poor and all alone so I had to look out for myself. Despite the hardships, life wasn't at all that bad at the time and one of my failed attempts at theft actually turned out for the better, believe it or not." she began."I tried to steal from a small travelling circus but I ended up getting caught. They forced me to pay for my crime by doing mundane work for them although the ringleader took notice of my juggling skills and kind of took me under his wing, teaching me a bunch of tricks which soon led to earning myself a real part in the show." she said in a bit of a nostalgic tone, reliving her past in her head."Grochi, I tell you, we were pretty good and money and fame were ours. Problem was, once you run out of tricks and everyone's seen the show a couple of times, things get stale. We went downhill and eventually, we were forced to disband and move on with our lives." she said, this time with a bit of bitterness in her voice."But hey, that's the past. Nothing you can do about it now." BZPRPG Profiles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otter Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 IC-Grochi:Grochi sat silently, thinking for a moment on what Laviha said. He patted her arm. "Well, good to know you had some good times, right?" He said, smiling. He then leaned back, thinking back to his old home."The island where I grew up was peaceful, I suppose. Then one day the worst thing that could happen did happen," he said bitterly. "Bloody Visorak swarmed the place, killing people wherever they went. Those were the unlucky ones." He sighed. "The lucky ones ended up like me-captured and cocooned. The really lucky ones managed to get away."He shuddered. "They're the reason I ended up hunchbacked," he said, and held up his hand. There were four fingers on it, looking almost ready to grow claws out of them. "A few other things happened besides that," he muttered. "My brother ended up coming over and saving me, nearly ripping apart the silken threads of that death trap with his teeth."Grochi closed his eyes, taking a deep breath. "My brother killed the ones that had caught and were guarding me," he growled. "They're lucky he did it and not me." He took another breath, and opened his eyes again. They seemed perfectly normal."So, Laviha, how do you go from a happy circus life to having to work on a ship like this?" He asked her. profiles i guess i'm a south american giant otter now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where is The Scout? She should of been back by now. He wondered to himself. He was about ready to summon his courier to send a message to The Scout, but he decided to giver her just a little longer. This wasn't the first time she'd been late. The Scribe was taking the free moment of not having to jot down anything to rest his hands, this was one of the rare moments in the court that he had nothing to write about. "So, number two...let's play a game. I spy something...made out of rock." In fact, the whole building was made out of stone, just like most of Ta-koro. "Oh okay um....is it....The Prince!" Guard #2 suddenly said, standing at attention. "No you baka! The Prince isn't made out of...oh...your highness!" Guard #1 suddenly said, standing at attention as well.Before the two guards was a rather handsome, dashing Toa. He was the typical Toa of plant-life colors, blue with some shades of green. He also wore a navy blue cape. He had a look of amusement on his face. "Guys, relax. I've told you before you don't have to be quite so formal with me all the time."The two guards relaxed a little and went at ease. "Thank you your highness! Is there anything we can do for you?""Well, is my father busy? I desire to speak with him.""Last we checked no...unless a bunch of invisible people got past us..." "Perfect timing then! I'll see you gentlemen later." And with that The Prince entered the throne room.

Then, his powerful hearing picked something out-the guards, talking to the Prince."Your Highness," The Seer said, startling everybody in the room, "Your son approaches. He wishes to speak to you of important matters." As he finished, the Prince popped into the room. He smiled-he was doing his job right.

"First Tamaru... then my friend Hafu... and now Kapura! If Makuta's servants are going after Taipu next, we have to move quickly!" he declared. He started looking through Stannis' pile of items to see if there was anything of use. Ic: "You're right of course," Stannis said with a tinge of reserve, "but we have what could be considered an advantage. We don't know where Taipu is, and if it's that close a guarded secret, nether does the Makuta. We also have what we can assume to be a way to find out where Taipu is, which puts us ahead. Now, if the makuta ever becomes so bold as to start killing Turaga... That's when we have to start worrying." He scratched at his forehead, pulling away a sliver of grayed steel and admired the tiny sign of his advancing age and stress. "Not that my Kanohi isn't turning white already, mind you..."

Snelly Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 (edited) IC: - Ta-koro - The Royal Court -The King looked at The Seer when he saw The Prince enter. "Excellent work as always Seer, now, maybe you could try to locate where The Scout is then? Take your time though, I understand that it takes time to do such things." The King turned to The Prince, who was now bowing before him. "My boy, you're looking as fine as ever! What can your old man do for you?" The Prince rose. "Father, I've been...hearing things from the town square. Talk of the Dark Wizard sending forth evil lizard man across the kingdom have been spreading like wild fire.""Yes, I've heard of these...rumors...but without solid evidence that this...Dark Wizard really exists...that's all they are...rumors...I won't declare war on a fictional entity created by heathens to merely scare the population. I need solid proof of an actual threat." "Father...The Scout went out to find such prove in the village of stone did she not? What is she returns if the evidence you require? Then will you have something done about it?""Of course son! I can see that as always your concern is for the safety of the kingdom! You make your father proud." He said with a look of pride. Then his eyes narrowed slightly. "But, I can see you have more to say, do you not?""Yes Father, if The Scout does indeed confirm that this Dark Wizard really does pose a threat, I'd like to gather your best soldiers and infiltrate and capture this Dark Wiz-""No...I will not permit it..." The King said plainly.The Prince looked disappointed, but not surprised by the answer. "But father I must-""No son, as the future ruler of this kingdom, your place is here, in the castle, I'll allow you to pick some of our best men and women for the job, but you yourself must stay in the castle. If you got captured or killed, you know how much that would devastate the Kingdom? Your mother? Me?"The Prince looked down at his feet. "I understand father...I'll form a strike force then, I've got just the man to lead them in my stead as well..." "Glad to hear it, now, why don't you stay here in the court room until The Scout returns? That way we will know for sure if such a strike force will really be necessary." The Prince nodded, and went to sit on one of the couches usually meant for important guests. The Scribe finished jotting down the entire conversation, and wiped sweat off his brow. He massaged his hand, as it had gotten writer's cramp.

He bowed his head, before looking back in the bowl. He figured the King would want a report on the scout, and so he would give one."Hmm...it seems your scout is having trouble getting back. I see...I see an empty desert...wait, no, no, there's somebody there..." he shook his head-this was getting slightly odd. "Many somethings, in fact," he said. "Almost like some sort of penal colony of sorts..."He looked up to the King. "I fear that your Scout might possibly become a slave in the colony," he said. "I fear she might get captured-though the possibility is there for her to get away. You must send somebody to rescue her," he said, looking pointedly at the prince.

He always though there was something...off about him. The King pondered what to do. "This does not bold well...but I do not think it would be wise to send anyone to The Scout's rescue until we know she's in actual danger, you did say there was a chance that she will be fine yes? Keep an eye on the situation, and the moment you know for sure she is in fact in trouble, I'll send someone to rescue her."
