The body had no heartlight beat. A shame, really. A beating heartlight was valuable, in more ways than one, in this land. The corpse itself could be used in other ways, perhaps.

Making his way to the storage hut positioned on one of the side canopies, waving at the ko-matoran guarding the hut. Entering the hut and digging through the supplies, Sala finds nothing but a few paint stained pots... "Well that a problem isn't it." Thinking to himself, Sala reckoned his only choice now is to get some more of the berries. For the village of course, you know, to prove his capabilities to Sorilax, he must make the dangerous trek to get them alone. Grabbing whatever essentials he may need to traverse the swamp below and grabbing his plasma sword just in case, Sala snucks his way out of Le-Metru Nuva into the Fau Swamps to find some yellow berries.

These skakdi weren't even truly driven by desperation for resources like their companions in the Matoran Universe. It sounded like they simply enjoyed it, and knew no different.

EmperorWhenua Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 12 hours ago, Onaku said: IC: Okuo - Archives Depths "Alright, I suppose that'll have to do. I guess we should ask for his name first... wait, you never actually gave me your name either. What is it?" IC ???? | Archives The voice giggled a little bit at Okuo's realization, and perhaps he was catching on to how literal the intelligence was. "I am called Hiripaki, the Vault of Stories. " 7 hours ago, Vezok's Friend said: IC [Kunok McGrokk]: McGrokk reached into his robes and produced a rolled up piece of vellum and held it out to Yumi. “I took the liberty of drawing up a map. Neatly marked. Can’t miss it. If you get lost...look for the carrion circling overhead.” As Yumi reached for the map, he raised it quickly just out of reach. “You come back with proof of delivery...and the gun is yours. Besides, no ammo means it’s dead weight on the trip anyway. Don’t worry, it’ll be here when you get back, nice and shiny.” 2 hours ago, Tarn said: IC: Korio Karasha - McGrokk's What he wanted to say was, "I really want that gun, too," but since Yumiwak had already called dibs, and Korio respected dibs, he simply said, "Eh, I don't need nothin'. I got me curtains." IC Yumiwak | McGrokk's Shoppe Curtains? Oh yes, those curtains, which Korio was wearing as a toga. They looked kind of cute on him, though. "Good," I said to Kunok as I snatched his map from the old trader's claws, examined it for a split second to ensure it was indeed a map and readable, and slid it in a belt loop. "We'll be back for it when this is done. Now let's get a box and contain this nasty stuff for, uhh, delivery on the Panda," I ordered. 1 hour ago, Harvali said: IC Kanohi - Metru-Koro And then Kanohi spotted a Toa. A very familiar one, Immediately his heartlight began to pulse, but not like wildfire, but a beacon guiding ships to shore. With no hesitation he fired a ball of gravity, and hurled over to the Toa, narrowly missing slamming into passing Matoran. He almost tackled the Toa as he called out, “Toa Stannis, you survived the Impact!” IC Stannis | Metru Koro "Kanohi!" the old toa bellowed in a fit of joy. Reuniting with old friends and allies was an occurrence the Wanderer always looked forward to, and with everyone from home so scattered across the Zakazian wasteland, or worse, dead, it flared the bittersweet feelings from those meetings all the more. In a flash, the sorrow he felt a moment before was washed away, or at least capped for the moment, and he smiled kindly as the plucky matoran nearly bowled over him in a dash to embrace. "I did! And it gladdens me to see you made it as well." He reached down and patted Kanohi on the head and looked at the matoran's friends who quickly clambered after. It seemed Kanohi had already begun to grow his own little set of companions from his efforts to help people, something which further pleased Stannis. He was a stranger to them but Kanohi quickly sought to rectify that gap in knowledge. Kanohi nodded so aggressively his head might pop off, “Toa Stannis is a great hero, he … he discovered that Turaga Dume m-may have killed a Matoran for disobeying him. And when I was lost because of … that, he gave me guidance and hope. He … he speaks with wisdom and kindness. Um, sorry, he also discovered the reason Dume — Turaga Dume, sorry, but the reason he may have betrayed that Matoran was because the Matoran was building him that empowering weapon I mentioned, and the Matoran engineer objected to making an army of Matoran super soldiers.” Then to Toa Stannis he said with the excitement of a Ussal spying its favorite owner, “Um, Toa Stannis, I heard that the village to the northeast, Po-Koro, that much of its walls and homes were made by a Toa of Stone. Was it you?” "Kind words, Kanohi," he intoned gladly. The information Kanohi shared was partially wrong, more specifically simply out-of-date, but that mattered not in the moment. There may be a time when the true degree of Dume's machinations would be exposed to Kanohi and the other eager denizens of the fallen universe, but the time was not right for that, not when merely living was a much more pressing priority. "I know of the place you mention and did not make that settlement, though I did pass through to rest for an afternoon while I performed some initial exploration of the land after the impact. Is that were you have been encamped for the last week?" 4 BZPRPG Profiles / Critical Acclaim / Complaints Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harvali Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 (edited) IC Kanohi - Metru-Koro ”Well, not the whole time, but I was there for a…” Then Kanohi fell silent as a voice echoed around Metru-Koro. All that came out was whimpers, as a Toa, a Toa, introduced herself as hailing from the League. She … why would a Toa join the league? There was being mislead or depressed but this … h-how? After all Mata-Nui … was dead, he realized that. Destiny was probably meaningless, he knew that, but … but even so how … how… As the speaker continued, Kanohi’s body shuddered like an ACR with a much too powerful engine, his body seemingly tearing itself apart. She … she had approached Metru-Koro for peace? And the Turaga … had refused? Had insulted her? Yes she demanded the Mask of Creation, yes the League was monstrous but … but she had offered peace. She … she had offered an end to the war. Maybe she was lying, and the league won’t have made peace. Maybe they shouldn’t have handed over the mask. But … but to antagonize the League? So close to their kingdom? With neither side likely at any strength? It was … it was suicide. How could … could a Turaga … risk his Matoran… Two days. Two days before the war resumed. Kanohi could see his heartlight pulsate with such light it shamed the sky. His whole body quaked. The war would resume, everyone would die, everyone would die. And … and a Turaga should know that if a war resumed, even if the Matoran somehow won, that so many of them would die. How … how could he risk his charges like that. Kanohi dropped to all fours, quaking. He … the war … the war … he … his body rattled like a Ta-Matoran digging through his masks. Oh … oh no. Vakama, Po-Koro they wouldn’t know. When the war resumed, and they already just suffered some kind of emergency… This was like Okoto, like Metru-Nui, like Tren-Nui too. He could hear the sounds of Matoran crushed by collapsed skyscrapers, hear them flailing in the canals as they drowned, hear Turaga Bomahri’s body crack and rupture as the soldier’s large claws squeezed him until he burst… Re…remember. S-small manageable tasks. He shoved himself off the ground and began to pace trying … trying to burn off his anxiety and fear. Use up too much energy to deprive it of fuel. He shook his arms, trying to make his shaking armor sound more like the wind chimes of Okoto than … than a dying engine. It also would burn off some of his stress, he hoped. He … just calm down a bit, that … that was his first task. He paced in circles. There was no way Kanohi could c-convince a Turaga, he was no leader, not smart enough, not important enough. He … what could he do? Po-Koro ”T-Toa Stannis,” he squeaked out, “I … please, I … I think your mask can teleport people? You need to … please send me to Po-Koro. I need to warn them of the time limit, and this announcement. Th-the village just suffered some sort of emergency, they would not be ready for war. They need to prepare, maybe reach out to the league. It … it wouldn’t work but I have to try. If I walk it … it will be too slow. And … and I think I saw the Taku traveling there to help the emergency. Knichou may be there, and may be able to hurry back here to help. I … I am sorry I just … I think I can m-manage warning them.” He trembled as he continued to pace, “T-Toa Stannis, before I go, do … do you know anything about this? Is … is the League lady telling the truth? Is she a T-Toa? Did she try to make peace?

There's also the fist bump which is customary among Toa, but this is a more general greeting." @Toru Nui 1 BZPRPG Profiles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unreliable Narrator Posted April 20, 2020 Author Share Posted April 20, 2020 (edited) IC: Reliable Narrator | Fau Swamp, Grand Fau Ruins As he arrived there was no way the ancient aspect of the Kumu Islets could mistake the carvings on the flat surface of the cloven ziggurat. There were pictograms of the matoran venerating their toa, their kaita, and their Great Beings. There were also Hieroglyphs left by the worshippers of Tren-Krom, the time being who swallowed the world. Further still were glyphs only an Aspect would know: glyphs warning of taboo left by followers of Xa-Kuta in the elder days before their great empire fell and was reduced to a pile of ruins in the island chain Lrrthxx called home. This temple was desecrated. Lrrthxx strode confidently through the large, square, open doorway to the temple. Vines grew on the floor, posing a tripping hazard to the Aspect relearning to walk after so long in his pool. He could hear the dripping of water droplets from soaked moss in the cracked corners of each stone block used in the assembly of the ancient ruined complex. After a short walk in the dark, where partway through he felt a strange tinkling in his gaseous form, a lightless comfort for the being of shadow, Lrrthxx arrived in a round chamber large enough to comfortably pace inside. A beam of sunlight cut through the space at a diagonal, having found a way in through the decrepit and fallen crown of the cloven ziggurat. Before him on the opposite side of the round chamber were three hallways. Once, each hallway had a wooden door barring entry. Now, the doors rotted on the floor after centuries of tomb raiders, and small purple flowers grew from the wood pulp. A purple fungus with hexagonal frills grew from the corpse of a skakdi propped against the wall nearest the right hallway. In the center of the circular chamber was a cleansing pool of water, now fouled by the toxicity of the Fau Swamp. A pure white lotus floated in the center of the pool, absorbing the sun’s rays. OOC: @Azibo, welcome to the Grand Fau Ruin. Edited May 13, 2020 by Unreliable Narrator 1 Happy chat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarn Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 IC: Triage - Haunted Van "I told you the van talked..." With everyone introduced, Triage sunk into his seat, satchel pressed against his chest. Mega calling him sweetheart only served to make the butterflies he was feeling around her worse. The medic wished he could stick around with the mechanic and her haunted van friend, but he'd have to return to Knichou eventually... @Dane-gerous@ZippyWharrgarbl@Eyru IC: Nale Vella - Po-Koro "I suppose," Nale replied. "I'm not sure there's much you can do, but I appreciate it." She looked to Knichou, wanting to ask him about his offer, about her and Arkius joining the Taku again, but saw he was busy and frowned. In a moment, perhaps. @Onaku@BULiK 2 [BZPRPG] (shout out to max) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onaku Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 IC: Iradra - Po-Koro "If you wouldn't mind taking a seat, here perhaps." She said, indicating a piece of rubble large enough for a toa to sit on relatively comfortably. "This shouldn't take long." @Tarn BZPRPG Profiles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unreliable Narrator Posted April 20, 2020 Author Share Posted April 20, 2020 IC: Waveahk’s Explorers | Fau Swamp, Northern Border A discard oil drum floated past Irna as she waded through the soggy loam of the edge of the marsh, the brackish water splashing up her legs. Large blue, red, and gold darner flies hovered about near the cargo hauler. Waveahk could see the marsh continued south for a several hours’ drive, and a creeping concern entered his mind: would the cargo hauler be able to drive safely through the marsh, or would it reach a point where the ground became too soft? Beyond the marsh and a low-hanging rain cloud in the distance Rose spied something green: jungle. Something about the smell of the swampland helped bring Keitara from her memories back to the present. Something smelled similar to that haunted battlefield she saw in her nightmares and flashbacks.

Toru Nui Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 IC: Ulkarr (Po-Koro Outskirts) "I see." Ulkarr placed his hand upon Arkius. "I am glad to meet you, Arkius, Toa of Earth... what do you intend to do now?" @Onaku IC: Tekmo and Waveahk (Fau Swamp Outskirts, Cargo Hauler) Waveahk frowned, more so than usual. He took a swig of water from his canteen, and exited the vehicle to address everyone, leaving the door open for Rose and Skyra. "It is a very real possibility that this vehicle will not reach the other side of this swamp. Considering it carries the boat we need to get to the Islets as well as all of our supplies, that poses a problem. Any ideas?" "Hmm... we could... no, no, we don't have the equipment on hand. Never mind." Tekmo's dreams of a flying truck were dashed. Maybe a talking one... no, that was ridiculous. @Tarn@Snelly@Conway@Keeper of Kraata@TL01 NUVA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Void Emissary Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 IC: Parnassus | Nektann's War Party The Horizon's Call was handling like a dream. Parnassus would have to give their compliments to whoever had tuned it up. Perhaps even see if they would be receptive to a ... deal. OOC: Parnassus open for interaction. -Void [ BZPRPG ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
