FallenCor Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 IC Mina:"Eh, anywhere, really," Mina replied as she moved to the back of the hut. "Some areas are more barren than others, but there are a few spots that seem to have a decent amount of stuff; at least for now."She readjusted the knee-high piece of metal that served as the third wall and sat down with her back against it. The blanket she had spoken of sat folded next to her, and she moved it towards her guests. It was thin, and not the most comfortable thing, but it was just large enough for a Toa, and every patch had been meticulously stitched. Mina added to it whenever she found new pieces of cloth on her trips to the Wastes, but was beginning to think that she should start a new one before this one became too unwieldy."But yeah, we can look for weapon materials," she continued. "I would focus on finding stuff for your huts, though. Oh! and definitely grab anything nice-looking to trade for water."

Wade. Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 (edited) IC: Gapori "Yes Bo, we definitely do." I cut in, joining up with the crowd. "It's not like Paq and I haven't been living here for the past few weeks or anything." I roll my eyes. "Don't act like you don't know us. We saw you at yesterday's cookout." I look over at the newcomer and put my arm around his shoulder, lightly poking him in the chest. "This guy, though, he's a green bean. Patches, right? Yeah, why don't you give him some shelter instead. Paq and I already have our own holes to die in."

Ghidora131 Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 IC Dessimus "Then we will have to put more time into the wastes," Dessimus said, ignoring Toku's return chaff as he gripped one side of the metal with his organic hand. "And we can only hope that they are capable enough to do so. You know the rate that we lose people around here. I do not enjoy mulling over the factors, but I suspect a large portion of our newcomers will- be dead in a week." The slight pause had Dessimus actually choking over his emotions, although he immediately reverted to stone afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junior Shark Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 (edited) OOC: Actually, it looks like Torpaq has barely been here longer than most of these newcomers. But I might be mistaken, his first post is a bit ambiguous. IC (Bolu): Oh. Gapori. Bolu blinked his eyes. If there was one thing worse than the desert, it was this Ce-Matoran. Okay, he wasn't that bad. But it's hard to like a guy who beat you at Rock, Paper, Scissors twenty-six times in a row. And this average-looking matoran- did Bolu actually know him? Maybe I spent too much time out on that dune today. "Gapori, I'll take in or help as many of these newcomers that I can. Patches, you're more than welcome to come with me. You, too.... you know, I never did catch your name..." OOC: Back to Torpaq. Edited May 10, 2016 by Junior Shark If you wait until the last minute, then it only takes one minute.

silo Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 (edited) OOC: wait for meeeeeeee IC: Torpaq - Near Canus I have time to reply with a quick "Privileged to meet you, Patches,", roll the name around my head for a second, and add an "I am named Torpaq, for your future reference." before the one who had seconds ago seemed far away is walking alongside us. I shake the hand he extends towards me with practiced ease and open my mouth to reply to his question when Gapori, whose presence I had previously unsuspected, intercedes with a rapid succession of lies. Or perhaps it is simply the case that the Sun or the wastes or both have caused his brain to malfunction. Either way, I listen to this stranger - whose name is Bolu, and who appears friendly in a perhaps overly naive way - and nod, and say that the name I can remember is Torpaq, although - and here I place a chuckle - I have no way of knowing if that truly is my name. I take the conversation in my stride, as I have done for all so far - this form of communication appears most interesting to me, and my quick and decisive manner appears both useful and fitting in such situations. "Both me and, I'm sure, my new acquaintance," - and here I make reference to Patches - "Would be very grateful for any shelter you or Gapori could offer." I pause for a moment as we walk, exchanging a jovial glance with the aforementioned Ce-Matoran. "Contrary to Gapori's belief," - and here my tone implies that I believe Gapori was saying such things as a joke only - "I have been here no fewer minutes than seventy, and am still becoming accustomed to this world." Another pause as I catch my breath. "Therefore, any help you could provide with our integration would make us eternally indebted to you," I finish with a gracious voice.

I chuckle, unaware of the subtle mania in my voice. "No need to be so stiff, Paq. If there's one thing this village needs, it's to loosen up a little. Everyone's so busy scavenging and rotting that I haven't heard a single good joke since I got here." I undrape my arm from Patches' shoulders, but not before handing him my canteen. "I've already got a roommate so I can only take about two of you. Any more than that, and we'll have an overly intimate slumber party on our hands."

"You yourself said this village needs to loosen up, no? How better to achieve that than with a slumber party?" Smiling, Bolu turned towards Patches and Torpaq. "Though Gapori here already has company, I currently share my space with no one. This means I have room to shelter one or both of you in relative comfort, if you so desire."

Not Quite Dead Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 ICThis guy stood out like a sore thumb, like really stood out. Maybe he never heard good jokes because he spooked everybody and they buggered off without talking with him. Or maybe he was just socially over analytical and panicked and started blabbering in a misguided attempt to be liked or something, he didn't know and didn't really care. Though the fact that he'd offered him water was nice, he supposed. Might be he should try and act friendly and see how that played out. Might be he'd share one of his top secret, wholly original jokes or quips for this joke deprived Ce-Matoran. "So why'd they build a wall around the graveyard?"

Space Urchin Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 (edited) IC: SkollSlowly approaching the shantytown, another Matoran paused from dragging several long pipe-looking objects behind him, noticing the presence of many others nearby. Hmm, a few faces he'd seen before, and more newcomers like him. He didn't know their stories, but he could take a guess. Everyone's was the same, after all. Even though he had been here for only a few short days, he had quickly become used to life here. Looking up, he frowned. It was later than he had planned to get back. Shaking his head, he resumed hauling the metal to the small town.He subconsciously tuned into the conversations going on as he drew nearer. (Open for interaction at last.)

"So-oo," she said, hoping to interrupt the newcomer from his drinking. " Wha-aat is your name?" IC Maru continued to lead the group into Canus proper. It was good to see that some of the strangers were already pairing off with those who had shelter. No hard feelings yet. Good. IC Ira nodded in greeting as Jasisu joined him and Zavarix.

Virid Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 IC: Zavarix - Canus Zavarix wondered what all this meant. If only one Matoran had woken with no memory, he could probably have believed it was some kind of accident, even if he was the one who'd lost his memory. But this many? Zavarix had not been in Canus long, but during that time a steady stream of Matoran had come trickling in, all as clueless as him. His brief conversation with Jasisu had confirmed that all the newcomers were in the same situation, not that he'd really doubted that before. But these were thoughts for another day, right now all he needed to worry about was finding shelter. The Matoran of this village seemed as unnerved by the situation as he was, so he could probably trust them. Till morning at least... So Zavarix waited to see where Ira would lead them. http://dragcave.net/user/Virid Wasteland RPG Characters: Zavarix | Keristary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silo Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 (edited) IC: Torpaq - Near Canus I find it most fascinating listening to the conversations of others, as it tends to reveal a startling amount about the nature of the speakers. Gapori seems to talk as impulsively as he acts, each word blurted out as if it is attempting to overtake its predecessor. Bolu is equally enthusiastic, but his manner appears good-natured, and quite possibly as a result of it, naive. A good attitude to hold in a place completely unlike this wasteland - here, too much kindness may indeed kill. And this Patches seems quite unlike the other two. But his tone appears somehow knowing, as if he sees something others have no clue of. If this is the case, I would class him as a useful ally. Bolu, on the other hand, would merely be a useful friend. And so I speak unto the one named as Patches, in reply to his apparent set-up to a jest, so that perhaps I may learn more of his character: "Why did they, then?"

Space Urchin Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 IC: Skoll No one having bothered him on his way back, the Su-Matoran reached what seemed to be a stack of sheet metal and other various lengths of material, placed next to a hill of sand. It was nowhere near done, but every day it grew better... if one could call it a decent dwelling in the first place. Heaving up one pipe to the top, he wrestled it into a position that may not have been as secure as he would've liked. He couldn't complain though, it was darkening, and he had a hole in his roof. He hadn't ever actually seen the outside at night, and something told him he didn't want to, from what the whispered rumors said.Placing the last piece over the hole, it was left covered, if unstable. Ducking inside, he replaced the heavy sheet of metallic material over the door hole. No one seemed to be in need of sharing his shelter, so he doubted he would be disturbed. It was time to stay hidden and try to sleep the chill desert night away. Morning would come soon enough...
