[OOC] BIONICLE: Tales of Kongero Nui

[tobiax]

Neat.

[Little Mx Inferno]

I'll probably write an introduction post for Kurava after the next post or two from you guys, though she still won't have as much of a role until a bit later.

[tobiax]

Cool.
Also I'd like to point out that the Turaga's approach was towards Suavo and Velhni, but more specifically the performers in general.

[DFTBA]

Suavo isn't with the other performers backstage. He went out into the audience area to talk to Velhni, not the other way around.

[tobiax]

Yeah. Turaga Boboro isn't backstage either. He's in the crowd, near where Hura bumped into the Ce-Matoran (who was my other second character idea besides Vhis. She's practically the opposite of Vhis.)
But it's not that big of a deal now. I allowed the interaction to be passed over.

[tobiax]

@Little Mx Inferno Thanks for the post! And just to clarify, Hura was asking where there were three of. I'm trying to give Bo-Matoran their own unique speech pattern, kind of like an inversion of Tree-speak. More slow and thought involved, as opposed to the rapid fire chatter and oversimplification of Le-Matoran. (Something they didn't quite get right in the movies- Tree-speak is supposed to be super fast.)

[Little Mx Inferno]

That makes sense. Lets just say Velhni isn't used to Bo-Matoran speech patterns, could lead to some interesting and amusing interactions.

[tobiax]

Yes. That would be great.

[tobiax]

I'mma let @DFTBA post first before I do again.

[Little Mx Inferno]

@DFTBA you still here?

[DFTBA]

Yes, of course. I'm so into this game I've already got plans for a sequel.

I'm still here, or rather, I'm back. I was away for the weekend with no internet access. Now that I'm connected again, I'll see about getting a post up.

[tobiax]

Ah, Awesome! I have sequel thoughts too. Mainly that our group is deemed missing, and another group of Toa springs up. There would be a bit of internal conflict with the City, and some more of the less savory types might show up.

[Little Mx Inferno]

That definitely sounds interesting. How far ahead have you planned for this one? I'm excited to learn more about the villain(s?) since I assume that if nothing else it won't be Teridax.

[tobiax]

I at least know what our first mission will be, and it'll end after that as the first half of the "year". No, we won't be dealing with any of the Order of Makuta yet.

[DFTBA]

@tobiax

That works pretty well with my own thoughts, actually. When planning my own "story year", I didn't want to go contradicting anything you might do in the first arc, so I set it away on another island. Same characters, of course, but different problems in a different place, where I could lay down details of setting and plot without running into other plans i don't know about yet.

So yeah, I'd be really happy to take over as GM for the second season (if we ever get that far), then hand it back to Tobiax for the third. Perhaps Little Mx Inferno could dream up some ideas for a fourth?

[Little Mx Inferno]

I actually have a fair bit of an idea planned out already from a previous idea, which I was actually planning to make into an RP on here before I saw this one. It also would take place on a separate island, although it would work better with a new team it could be modified to use the current one.

[DFTBA]

Smashing!

Anyway, here's an intro to what I have so far. Again, I'm being as non-specific as possible about Tobiax's stuff to avoid contradictions. Am I safe with this?

Just as events were settling down in Kongero Nui after the creation of the new Toa and their subsequent adventures, a new event has had many Matoran talking.

For a long time, the inhabitants of Kongero Nui had assumed that they were alone in the Endless Ocean, that the Great Spirit had created but one homeland for his children. They were wrong.

Now, a single Ga-Matoran has washed up on the Kongero Nui coast, clinging to the shell of a broken-masted sailboat. When taken ashore by the Kongero Nuian coastguard and given food and shelter, he began to speak of strange things, saying that his name was Patai and he was born in another place, far across the sea.

He claims to have been out fishing when he was suddenly set upon, attacked, by a storm that seemed almost unnatural, even malevolent. Driven out to sea by the ferocious wind and waves, he was unable to sight land when it abated. His boat was too damaged to sail, so he drifted aimlessly in the open ocean for a long time before finally happening upon Kongero Nui, almost at death’s door.

Moreover, he claims that the storm wasn’t his only trouble. That many strange things had been happening on his home island far away, that evil has been awakened.

***

Hearing all of this, Turaga Kalu and the Toa Kongero held council and agreed that, given the restored peace of Kongero Nui and the Duty of Toa to aid and protect Matoran, that the team should return with Patai to his homeland, and do what they can for the Matoran of that island before returning home. Already, a large ship is being prepared for the outward voyage. It will be a new adventure into the unknown.

[tobiax]

That sounds awesome. (And also reminds me a bit of NickInAmerica's Nova Orbis) That could be our part 3. I think. After the second group of Toa meets with the First. Ooh! Maybe with a sea faring transformation!

[DFTBA]

I was thinking of using that for the second part. That is why the first Toa have gone away, and why Kongero Nui needs the second team. The first team then gets back from my arc, and we launch into whatever the third thing is.

@Little Mx Inferno

Oh, I sorta missed this.

I'd like that, but I'd like the second season to feature a second group. We'll work it out.
Well, I'm not sure who's going to be where by the end.
