Franco Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 (edited) IC: "Fine then."Naara sighed."Let me explain to you exactly what you got wrong about that stuff..."First off, I didn't get the memo. No one told me that it was bad to scout and make sure none were nearby," Naara said with a shrug. "I got screamed at later by Vernadon for it. But Vernadon only explained to me that I was supposed to stay by the school afterwards, and I was fairly certain that we-as equal teachers-weren't forced to obey the wants of one. I was just trying to make myself of service by actually accomplishing something apart from my daily training routine," The I'Rohu explained casually. "The kid is more everyone's fault-I told him to stay and keep an eye out, but he came along and everyone assumed he'd come back when we did," She said with a shrug."As for your other example, that's not really naming a hard example of how I've hurt the school. So..."Naara sighed again."If that's all, I think I'll be heading back to my hut." Edited April 26, 2012 by Armadijo [Profiles] Wisdom. Restraint. Emptiness.

Wotz Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 IC:Kuhrin threw the Rahi bone over his shoulder, prying bits of muscle and meat from between his teeth with his tongue, and took a deep breath of freezing cold air. The Toa of Sonics was expecting a messenger from his fellow Makuta followers sometime in the next day or so, but none had come. Perhaps there had been a delay, or-It was intercepted."Desuka, reveal yourself. Even with your silence, I can sense you." rang out his voice through the vicinity.Sure enough, a figure phased into existence behind him, and let out a loud sigh to signify his presence, "What does your master want?" said he, not expecting a valid answer, and was not met with one."You think I'd tell you that, even if I knew?""No, and it would be out of fear. Fear for what the infinitely powerful being below could do to you, what terrible punishment you'd face, if you didn't follow his every command like a lost puppy."Kuhrin chuckled, "It is you who is so like a lost puppy. You think you still have a place in the world, that there's some point to all this struggling. Mata-Nui, you make me want to puke. All you have now is the wait for your life to be extinguished." he flexed his fingers, not looking at his enemy, "And who else to do it than our beloved old friend Kuhrin?"

When he finally returned he carried with him the dish the other Matoran had ordered. The meat and grapes were arranged in an artful manner and the Maha Steak itself was grilled to perfection.

EmperorWhenua Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 (edited) [Kaccio] Ic: "That is not all," Kaccio said as he shook his head. "Vernadon has been trying to bring organization to this college, his authority was just. Even before, we had one who was greater among equals and who's authority did not stem from the wants of one, but from the needs of all. Vernadon already rebuked your actions before, but I will say that we as teachers are here to educate our pupils within the bounds of this college and impart our wisdoms here, not lead hunting parties abroad. The kid was your fault because you left in the first place," he said. "Your continued absence from the campus grounds have been noted my me, and your constant leaves are growing to be a burden to any sort of progress we attempt. By being brash, you threaten the unity we as teachers should have."He pointed at the buildings. "These huts were supposed to be expanded, this campus was meant to be greater, and yet no work has been done because of a lack of unity, organization that has been undermined by the actions led by your boneheadedness."The master's tone grew more threatening as he began to not only rebuke the toa of water's actions, but her competency as a teacher. "Who have you taught that has emerged better than before? What wisdoms have you imparted to your pupils? I have not witnessed any. You claim to champion and empower, and yet all I have seen is one senseless test after another that are taken up by people like Socugu and Rannin who just want a challenge. You are here as an elementalist, and yet I have seen no one benefit from your teachings." He ended his lecture with a rebuke of uncharacteristic challenge. "You are not fit to teach."[Ambages] "Yes, all is well," the matoran said as he took the food, though he mentally listed out items he would improve the business on. The steak was finely cooked, but lacked sauce to his liking. The layout of the meal was good, though the garnishing lacked in the end. Additionally, twenty minutes was too long for a meal cooked for someone waiting on a barstool -- a tabled guest, yes, but not someone valuing a quick meal over all. Still, he made little public indication of his criticisms and did enjoy the food itself.Tell me, what do you know of the other guests here?" he asked.

The patronage is your usual range of guests: Matoran, Toa, even the odd Vortixx...or two." Rhanus replied calmly, making the small addition to his reply as his eyes glanced over the two Vortixx sitting at a table, obviously enjoying some quality conversation. "If you are inquiring about specific guests, my knowledge of them is rather limited. One of the qualities of this establishment is the pravicy fine customers such as yourself value so highly. It is one of the comforts offered here."He put on his most assertive smile. In a lower tone, he added: "Of course, it is also in the nature of attending to customers, that one does hear the odd snippet of conversation every now and then."

EmperorWhenua Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 [Kaccio] Ic: "I hope she proves me wrong," Kaccio muttered to himself and to Dorian, "for her sake as for ours." He was determined that if he did not see improvement and unity where it was due, he would take matter wholly into his own hands. The school's light was dimming, and he needed to reverse that.Then: Idea. He recalled the visit of a certain Toa Wopaku several months before who represented the Cultured Gentry -- and wealth. Kaccio had no interest in money, but publicity and reach... those were desirable assets. He could not go to Wopaku since Vernadon had already burned that bridge, but the master knew of another, and one who would be equally as willing to help. Even as Naara walked away with Dorian, Kaccio prepared to leave the college, writing a note and placing it on his door.Gone to Ko-Koro.Will return within one solar cycle.Ireanqba, or njner bs gur erartnqr grnpure.The last sentence was a cipher message intended for Vernadon alone. The scholar-poet would have been able to translate it immediately, but none other would be able to understand it -- to them, it was gibberish, and so he wanted it. Forgoing his cane for a more brisk stride, Kaccio left his hut and began the trip through the road.(Onarax, hint: It's the Ceasar cipher.)[Ambages] "Tell me of the two Vortixx," Ambages said without turning to face the other guests. To any of the others in the restaurant, it would seem like it was just a man talking to the manager behind the bar, which was an image he wanted to project. Nope, nothing suspicious happening here.

Vezok's Friend Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 IC:Rhanus, in the good old-fashioned manier of a barkeeper, began to polish the glasses with a towel as he began to speak in a quiet tone, enough that Ambages would hear him clearly. "The male is a fine gentleman who came in just a short while ago. I have not seen him before, but from what little I could hear during our little conversation, I gather he is here to do business. Not surprising, I might add, considering their foreign technology. It is quite marvelous, I hear." He couldn't help but smile a little. "From what I could see though, for all his sophistication, his female companion apparently has a way of getting under the skin. As for who she is, I honestly can not say. She arrived several days ago and has rented a room here, but she never socialised with any of the other guests before. I admit, I am a bit curious myself, as her favourite past-time seems to be sitting in that shady corner over there," he nodded in the direction of the darkest part of the room," while enjoying our finer spirits..."
