BZPRPG: Ko-Wahi

IC: Savina"Plants don't feel pain! They're alive sure...but not in the same way..." She exclaimed. "I'm sorry...I just...have a hard time with...killing Rahi...for any reason...I mean Kawuha...he killed a bear in front of me...and it was a mother too..." A single tear came from her eye just thinking about that traumatic experience.

IC: Zauk"Uh..... OK...." He said, before thinking of something."Just don't ask what I do for a living and everything should be good."He held up a plate, "Want some eggs then?"

IC: SavinaSavina looked at the eggs. "Sure...eggs are okay..." She took the eggs, and began to eat them. "Wait, what about what you do for a living? Why shouldn't I ask?" She tilted her head like a curious puppy.

IC: Zauk"Because I'd rather not tell you," He said, and began to eat the waffles on his plate. Although it was more like syrup with some waffles instead of the otherway around.

IC: Savina"Oh...okay." Savina continued to eat her eggs, trying to forget about the horrors of bacon. "I'm really...strange...aren't I?" She suddenly blurred out. She was beginning to realize more and more just how out of touch she'd become with the outside world.

IC: Naru"If you're wondering, Savina, sometimes Rahi die, you know. Sometimes the ones infected by Makuta attack, and it seems impossible to defend ourselves without killing. Often, Rahi kill Rahi, in the wild. That is why we have no problem with eating them. I'm a bit surprised, by the way; I would have thought living in the wild for so long would have made you more... bestial, when it comes to hunting, at least."

IC: Savina"I..I know...that Rahi die...I just do my best...to prevent that...in fact...that's all I've been doing...in the jungle...I have an entire pit of infected masks...that's hidden "Savina continued. "I don't hunt...I...try to save...any infected Rahi that I can...I mean...I can't always...save them all...and it hurts me when they die..." They may not of realized it yet, but when she said it hurt her when they died, she met it more ways than one, physically and mentally, thanks to her mask.

IC: Zauk"Huh," He said meaningfully."I try and save infected Rahi as well," he said, although he didn't really say how, sometimes it was better to not let a Rahi live out its life in pain and misery.At least, thats what Zauk thought.

OOC: Well, since I have no clue where he was, I'm brining Ravage back here. Meet psycho-savage-toa-kitty. :PIC: Ravage, Ko-KoroAmusingly, as a counterpoint to Savina's comments, Ravage stalked up the street outside said Toa's location dragging along his prey, namely, a deer-like rahi. A toa, probably a hunter, tried to take it from Ravage believing him to be a rahi. Foolish toa. A hideous scream ripped through the air. It wasn't the only thing that was ripped. The hunter staggered back, clutching his arm. Ravage let out an incredibly loud snarl, just in case it hadn't given warning enough.

IC: ZaukThe Toa of Lightning had heard the scream outside his hut. Zauk turned to the two other Toa with a bored expression on his face."You wanna go check that out?" He asked, "Cause I won't if you guys don't."

IC: SavinaNormally Savina wouldn't of said yes to chasing down the source of a horrible scream, but she actually felt like she need to get out and do something after their talk about bacon. "Ya...sure, let's check it out."

IC:Nightning"Alright, while you think that over, I'm gonna go look around the city. 'Kay Dreenan?" The Toa of Lightning asked, not even waiting for an answer.OOC:Nightning up for interaction.

IC: It was perhaps more trouble than it was ever worth to find this guy. Perxin wasn't even sure where he was or if that same hut that he had already passed a thousand times before really was that same hut or a different one he had passed earlier. The panic had subsided a bit, the people gradually forgetting the fact that unearthly creatures had been screaming earlier. Life had returned mostly to normal except now Perxin was even more lost because all of his landmarks(such as "hut with five people in it" or "hut with the two really overweight Matoran in it") had returned to a different state. It was enough to make one give up.Until he saw the Toa on the bench. The hut he was standing in was more like a cabin rather than a hut. It even had a porch where the Toa sat, rocking back and forth, cane in his hand. It came to him in a flash of revelation.Have I seen him in a dream before?It was certainly possible and not the first time it had happened, as the events of the morning had proven. It was not his last dream but perhaps some past one...Perxin walked up to the Toa, presumably Kaccio with a stern look on his face."Hello. I am looking for a man named Kaccio. Are you the one I'm looking for?" he asked.

IC: VernadonVernadon groaned, when he saw Naara not with Bruntoa, "Naara, that arrogant fool! Does she think the whole school revolves her whims? First she goes off chasing after Rahkshi when we have no cause too, and now she's refusing to come. We have a school to start, and the one time whenever single teacher is available she decides she doesn't want to come. When is she going to learn that she can't always do things at her own whim." He then sighed, "Karz, Kaccio is here and we were just going to see him, Amalod is at her hut, you, Bruntoa, are standing right next to me, Sucogu is teaching Hau here on the school grounds and Krohlen is off on an errand so I'm taking his place. Thus the only person we're waiting on is blasted Naara!" He looked at Bruntoa, before making up his mind, "Come on, let's go see Kaccio and get this bloody meeting started, Naara can just deal with it. It's her fault for not having the good sense to work for the common welfare of the school." He then gestured for Bruntoa to follow as he made his way towards Kaccio.

IC: Bruntoa"She was right behind-" He looked behind him, she wasn't there. "-me...huh, she probably went back to the lake." Bruntoa shrugged as he followed Vernadon.

Ic: Kaccio observed a strange man come up."Hello. I am looking for a man named Kaccio. Are you the one I'm looking for?" he asked.That's the voice, Kaccio thought. "I am he," he said as he looked at the man top to bottom. He sure had the look of an artist, thinly built, not muscular in the slightest, muscles slight from a lack of activity though still maintaining an intelligent aura about him, as if he had spent his time thinking, imagining and creating rather than truly constructing. He didn't have the look of a fighter, but his voice spoke volumes of internal struggles, quaking ever so slightly in apprehension of what came next."What can I do for you, stranger?" Kaccio said, still seated like a king granting audience to a commoner seeking counsel.

[iC: Rannin]"And people ignore me as usual," said Rannin cheerfully as he followed the duo.

IC: Naru"Fine, let's go check it out," Naru said, happy to get out of the touchy subject. She had never thought about the ethics of eating Rahi. Usually she just absorbed some energy from slain beasts anyways. But cooked food... she preferred to chew that, to savor the taste.The trio exited the hut, only to find a grisly scene outside. Someone was pulling arms off. For some reason, the Toa of Plasma was not surprised. She pulled a knife out of her belt and channeled her energy into it until it glowed bright orange."Ah, it's this time of the day again," she muttered. "Fight-'o'-clock."

IC: SavinaSavina ran up to Naru and stared in horror at the scene, some incredibly Rahi like Toa was holding a deer Rahi, apparently having killed it, plus it looked like he had just torn up some poor Toa's arm. Savina gasped, a bit taken back by the violence. She didn't run, cry, or panic. She'd worry about doing those things after they stopped this strange being. She pulled out her dart shooter out of her bag, and loaded it with a dart tipped with venom that could sedate a large Rahi, let alone a Toa, the only problem would be to actually inject the Toa with it.OOC: I shouldn't not be up right now.

OOC: Mild bunnying. And yes, Naara is correct-she had no idea there was to be a meeting.She's not arguing about the worth of the rahkshi hunt because she believes to do so would be a waste of effort.IC: "Yes..."A droplet of cold water fell onto Vernadon's kanohi. He blinked and looked up."Yes, you previously informed me that there would be a meeting for all teachers, informed me that we had to have it at a time that was decided by the presence of teachers as opposed to preset, and also apparently-," the voice from the heavens put extra emphasis on this word as it sarcastically drawled, "-Informed me that it would be a crime to take a bath beforehand."Naara leaped off the side of the hut she'd been hanging from and landed in a crouch, on cat feet. She stood up coldly...The water dripping from her body seeming to exude a chill not in keeping with its liquid state."Let's get Kaccio."

IC: RavageRavage's head snapped around to glare at the newcomers. It let out a guttural snarl, that sounded more Rahi than Toa. Spying the sart shooter, Rvage promptly turned on his mask, and seemed to vanish. At the same time, crystalline bonds appeared around Savina's wrists.

IC: ZaukHe followed them outside, grabbing his ax and whip.The Toa of Lightning saw the Rahi-like Toa, and the other hunter. Zauk took out his ax, and held it ready. Sparks jumped from it to the ground and air."Good one, 'fight-o'-clock'," He said, grining.His grin disappeared when crystaline bonds formed around Savina's wrists, and the Rah-like Toa vanished."Great. I hate Hunas," the Toa of Lightning muttered.

IC: RavageA crystal fist erupted from the ground to smash into Zauk's face. Bonds similar to Savina's formed around Naru's wrists. Ravage moved stealthily closer to the trio.

IC: Zauk"You've got to be kidding me," Zauk said as he flipped back from the crystal spikes.Because he couldn't see the Toa attacking them, he filled the area with electricity, but made sure that none of the arcs hit Naru or Savina.

IC: RavageRavage was clever, so when he shielded himself, he created three shields at different locations. And none of them shielded him, becuase he had circled behind the group.

IC: ZaukHe saw the three crystaline shields go up, so he fed electrical energy into them. One shattered, while Zauk swung his ax, cracking another. When he realized that the being wasn't there, the spun around, searching for him.The Toa of Lightning picked up some of the larger shards with his mask, prepared to send them flying towards his unseen attacker.

IC: NaruNaru didn't quite get why the enemy Toa had decided to give her crystal wristbands (her hands were quite a bit apart, after all), but she didn't really care all that much. A few seconds of concentrating, and the crystal melted like butter from the sheer heat of Naru's element. She kept her already heated knife ready with one hand, while she used the other to sweep a thin, gas-like cloud of plasma across the area. Even though the thin dispersion meant it wouldn't feel like more than summer heat, she hoped the invisible Toa's form would be revealed by the collision.

IC: RavageRavage dropped the invisibilty,he had been seen.

IC: ZaukThe hunter smiled, as he could see the Toa now. He sent a large arc of electricity towards the Toa, while circling closer to the Rahi-like being.

IC: RavageRavage snarled and raised a barrier, and activated his mask one more. The barrier shattered as Ravage lunged at Zauk.

IC: SavinaSuddenly, several very thick vines sprouted up around Zauk. Savina had been paying attention to where Ravage had been before he had turned invisible again, she'd guessed he'd be going after Zauk. The vines whipped around, and would hopefully catch Ravage as he tried to attack Zauk. Savina couldn't use her dart with her hands cuffed together. She went over toward Naru, hoping she could do something about them.

IC: RavageRavage snarled as he slashed at the vines with his claws. He reappeared, and observed the trio. He had finished off the vines, but he didn't move, just stared at them.

IC: ZaukHe had been prepared to back-flip away from the being as Zauk saw him turn on his mask. But before he could do so, lagre vines sprouted up around him. He nooded his thanks to Savina, before staring back at the Rahi-Toa.Funny, Zauk was hunter, fighting a Toa who acted like a Rahi.

IC: VernadonVernadon ignored the antics of Naara, there was no point in saying anything, however the voice in his head was chuckling, well, isn't this fun? You complain, and she appears. Maybe next time you should just try whistling. Vernadon however ignored the voice as well, he was sick of the being, but he knew there was no shutting him up.ooC: Time skipIt wasn't long before they began to near the bench Kaccio was sitting at, however as they neared Vernadon caught sight of the being speaking to the professor. Perxin. Vernadon clenched his fists, the anger he had been surpressing was once more boiling inside of him as he thought of Wraith, and then of this crazy cool dudes accusations. To dare call him a bandit. However soon his body relaxed, as though he had realized something. Something the voice then asked about, What the Karz are you doing! I wanna crush him, destroy, I wanna have fun! Shut up, will you, he's just... misguided. Chance has lied to him, and we must set him straight. Boooring.

IC: NaruThe Toa of Plasma saw that Savina was bound with crystal as well, but there was no way she could risk melting it too. Naru had absorbed the heat herself when her bonds melted, but the Toa of Plant life would have no way of avoiding at least a nasty burn. Instead she used her free hand to push Savina's hands downwards, so they pointed towards the ground."Spread your legs."Savina barely had time to do so before a red-hot knife streaked through the air right between her palms. It shattered the crystal in the process, before embedding itself deep into the snowy ground with a sizzling noise. Naru nodded once, satisfied, and turned back to their attacker. He was not moving, but Naru knew better than to let her guard down. She searched her mind for a Rahi power that might be of use with her Faxon...

IC: RavageRavage hated speaking. It felt unnatural to him. But without Sounblaster around to interpret, he might have to. He was opening his jaws to speak when....."Ravage. Stand down." Came the synthesized monotone of Soundblaster. The Toa of Sonics stood a short distance away. Ravage took a step or two back from Zauk. He didn't trust Zauk or Naru not to attack him. As much as Ravage hated speaking, here it was necessary.In a voice that sounded like it had not been used in a long time, he spoke. "That hunter was the instigator. He tried to take my meal. Foolish Toa probably thought I was a Rahi." It was an odd scene, speech coming from a Toa on all fours who, in appearance, was more beast than Toa.

IC: Savina"You...you nearly ripped the poor guy's arm off!" She said as she went over to the injured Toa to see just how badly he was hurt. Now that the fighting had apparently stopped they had a chance to look him over. "How bad is?" She asked the Toa.

IC: Ravage"Did not. It was a cut, not a rip." Ravage padded over to the injured hunter. "See? It'll heal. It won't get infected if he looks after it properly. So I fail to see what the problem is."

IC: Savina"But..." Savina was interrupted by a roar. It was Grecko, he stepped between Savina and Ravage, he didn't not like Ravage getting so close to Savina, he made a low growl to tell him to back away from her. "Grecko...relax...the big mean kitty ain't gonna hurt us."

IC: RavageRavage seemed to deflate a bit. "Big mean kitty. Once I commanded great respect." He took one look at Grecko, and let out a small growl.
