BZPRPG: Ko-Wahi

IC - Veira - Flash-Freeze SuitesVeira had only stood there while Jasik gave directions. She hadn't said anything. She had hardly acknowledged Sumiki or Cantai. Emotionless. Almost like Kristen Stewart.She snapped back to reality upon realizing she must've been experiencing some form of post-traumatic shock. Possibly (read: probably) linked to the injuries sustained in combat against the Rahkshi."As you've probably deduced from my friend's introduction, my name is Veira. I didn't catch your name." she said, guessing Jasik had introduced them. Of course, in her daydreaming state she hadn't really paid attention to what he had said.

OOC: Well, the biggest reason he doesn't use a sword was because he decided to focus entirely on using his element alone, something that really...hasn't worked out for him lately...XD I'm assuming there still Toa in this flash back. IC: Wraith - Spirit Form - Mind Trap -Wraith eyed the sword, it was an almost completely transparent, a perfect sword for a Toa of Ice. "Wow, it's...perfect. Thanks Vern."

IC: JothamJotham sighed. He suddenly realized that he was cold - very cold. Until now, he had been lost in his thoughts, oblivious to how uncomfortable he was. It was then that he realized that he could see nothing - a few snowflakes whirling in front of his eyes, maybe, but beyond that, the world was an endless grey expanse. For a moment, Jotham panicked. But then he felt the rock beneath his feet - yes. Rock was solid, reliable, trustworthy. It would lead him where he needed to go.Which was not the academy. There was nothing for him there, he was now certain. If there was anything to learn in this region of endless ice, it was deeper in, nearer to the heart of the island. Where those fools would never dare to go. Letting go of his sword - which remained in its position, balancing upon its point - Jotham extended his arms, stretching. The stone beneath him seemed to stretch as well, and when Jotham shook himself, the stone also vibrated, shaking off much of the snow that had accumulated.In a single motion, Jotham picked up his blade, returned it to its scabbard, and set off deeper into the unfathomable expanse of the Wahi.

OOC: Time to break out the new char!IC: Cikren (Ko-Wahi drifts)The Toa of Ice wandered through the expanse of snow and cold. She would occasionally fire a beam of ice into the air, freeze it, and watch it come crashing down into the snow. Being a native to the Wahi, she wasn't uncomfortable in the bellow freezing temperatures, she actually prefered it to the warmer regions of the island. Cikren normally came here to pass the time. Today was no different. Except the fact that she was bored.Along with a lot of other things, the blue armored Toa hated be bored.Credit to her elemental power, she was striding through the snow and ice when she felt something. Something underneath her feet. It felt like the ground was vibrating....? What in Mata-Nui's name? she thought. But there, up ahead, she saw a Toa of Stone. The being seemed a bit lost, not something surprizing in the Drifts."Are you lost?" she asked the Toa, who was currently turned away from her.OOC: Imma interacting with you, Balta.

ooC: Yeah they're Toa, and I'd think it'd be cooler if Wraith had some sort of reason for abandoning weapons. Just my two cents.IC: Tails"No problem man, but how many times to I have tell you to not call me Vern." The Toa replied jokingly,"anyhow, how's that plan for those Patrols coming along. Finalized your route yet?"

OOC:

IC - Sucogu - SparringSucogu lifted his foot, remembering the time when he'd been attacked from muggers. A rope had been spun around his leg, and a similar technique had been used. Interestingly, the toa had attempted to use a mask of teleportation, and things hadn't worked out for him. The rope had sort've rearranged itself, the knot fashioning around his neck, and...Anyways, he had been going to use a move he thought would now. He lifted the rest of that leg, and twirled it to untangle the chain. Hau would run wildly and likely run into a bank of snow. However, he didn't let that happen. He grabbed hold of the hook and blitzed it back. The small toa would have no choice but to stop short and fly back at Sucogu and a waiting kick.

Fyi, there aren't many banks. It's relatively warm in The School's vicinity-probably only a little snow on the ground most of the year.On another note: I'm considering Naara leaving the school to become a 'wandering warrior'. Just wanted to warn Ihr.IC: Hau whipped around, feet slamming up a plume of snow. He blitzed back towards Sucogu.His quick senses had felt the chain fly off. They'd found its hook flying at his own back. And they had also caught Sucogu's tell-tale readying for a kick; the distinct step back and drawing up of one leg.Why, then, was he heading back into the trap he knew was present?Simple.Hau couldn't block. He had no hope of guarding his body against such a blow while attacking. He couldn't punch a weak spot and save his arm; he couldn't block the strike and strike another.That simplicity lurked in the shadows as he twisted towards the kick. It unfurled its wings as he drew up a right half-knuckle fist and glided it along the leg in a deflection. And the simple in Hau finally soared as his fist flew towards Sucogu's groin.He could do one better.Attack and defense in one movement. A pharmakon-a poison that saved. A prophylaxis preventing life itself as well as harm.That was Hau's specialty. And it shone through as his left hand casually caught the hook while his right deflected in its own blow.

IC: JothamJotham turned casually toward Criken, as though entirely unstartled by her sudden approach. "Not exactly," came the reply.He did not elaborate, instead taking the time to quickly size up the new approach. Toa. Ice, probably. Mask...? Hm. Purpose for being in this Mata Nui-forsaken wilderness? Karz if I know. He studied the Toa. Not an enemy, at least.

IC: Cikren (Ko-Wahi drifts)"Good," she stated simply. The Toa of Ice turned and continued onto Ko-Koro. If the Toa wasn't lost like he said, then he will be fine, she thought, if he is, then he will follow. Unless he is stubborn, or just stupid.Still, it didn't hurt to help. So Cikren willed the blizzard away, clearing the area around the Toa of Stone.

OOC: Yeah, you're probably right, just have to come up with a reason first. It will come to me eventually. IC: Wraith - Spirit Form - Mind Trap of DOOM -Wraith put the sword into his sheathe. "I think so, though I need to stop getting lost." He said, rubbing the back of his head. "I can't be a very good protector if I'm the one missing all the time..."

IC: JothamJotham was not surprised in the slightest when the Ko-Toa walked off. Sighing, he turned off in the opposite direction and again continued on his way through the blizzard-But it was not a blizzard, not anymore. Jotham turned back to the rapidly receding figure of the Ko-Toa. She did not look back, but her arm was raised, and, as she lowered it, the storm vanished entirely, replaced only by a light snowfall. Jotham nodded in her direction, taking careful note of the Toa's appearance. If he ever saw her again, he would be sure to repay her for this kindness, which, though seemingly insignificant, was far more than he'd experienced from any of the other natives to this icy wilderness.Sighing again, Jotham strode off deeper into the Drifts.

Ic: "Perxin, walk with me. We can discuss this as we go, but I cannot keep the college's demands away," Kaccio said. "Vernadon: The meeting. Let's do this.""But it is for teachers only--""That was never a rule. I am taking Perxin with me, and that is the way I will be doing it, Vernadon."

OOC: EW in this situation could you please not post Vernadon's words. He's in a peculiar mood. IC: Vernadon and Tails"Right, where are the others?" Vernadon replied simply. He wasn't in the mood for much talking. The young Vernadon chuckled, before stippling, they were there. Vernadon's humble abode. He cracked a grin, "So, Wraith, first off have you picked a name for your sword yet, and second. Wanna get some practice in before Kizack is ready for us?"

Ooc: Sure. It's just something I figure anybody would say, considering what Kaccio is doing.Ic: Kaccio shrugged. "Probably brooding in some corner about how they couldn't find any Rahkshi. But what do I know? I was in my hut the whole time. You were the one out and about."

IC: Wraith - Spirit Form - Mind Trap -"A name? Hmm...I think I'd like to get to know my sword before I name it, it will come to me I'm sure." Wraith looked at Vernadon, "As for your second question, the more practice, the better we'll get."

IC: AceAce walked slowly through the tundra. He wasn't really sure why he was here, but it was the only place he hadn't visited recently, so here he was.Lost."GAAAAAAH!" he cried, flopping down on his butt.OOC: Ace open for interaction.

[iC: Rannin]"So, what exactly am I supposed to do now?" asked Rannin as he stood behind Vernadon, having been present the whole time.

IC-Naria:Naria had gotten bored in Ko-Koro. She didn't really want to stay in any place too long, and Sumiki, Carraig and Cantai were all taking much to long. So, she had left and decided to walk around out in the waste.As she was walking, she heard somebody scream. She pulled her cloak tighter around herself, and walked through the snow. She nearly tripped on a Toa of Gravity, sitting on the ground shivering."Oh ho ho," she said, starting to laugh a bit, "Lost, are we?" She asked.OOC: That's Ace....Lorax, Naria is a Matoran.

OOC: Ace open for interaction.

IC (Weta): Weta quietly slipped out of the witch's house, leaving them to their own little catch-up session. So as not to appear rude, he used his mask to create an illusion of himself, which would stay and drink tea, before slowly fading into nothing.Out in the snow, Weta found no sign of where Wraith had gone; the storm had obsured all tracks. So with no idea of which direction he should take, he struck out through the drifts towards Ko-koro. As he came over a ridge into a snow-filled valley, he saw a Matoran and toa up ahead. He made his way towards them.

IC: AceAce looked up at the Matoran. He was already starting to feel like a frozen Toa, and didn't need someone laughing at him."Hi. Uh, yeah. It's been a while *sniff* since I've been in Ko-Wahi *sniff* and I guess I got a little *sniff* lost." he said. Then he turned and saw someone else approaching."Hey...who's that?" he asked.OOC: Lorax, the witches are gone. There wasn't really anywhere else I could have taken them.

OOC: Imma joining par-tay too! IC: Cikren (Ko-Wahi)The Toa of Ice stumbled upon more beings in the frozen wasteland. She was getting slightly annoyed that she wasn't the only being around.Cikren stood far enough away where she wouldn't be seen, but close enough to where she could hear what was going on. The Toa then began to walk nearer to the three beings, increasing the blizzard to hide her aproch.

IC-Naria:"No idea," the Ga-Matoran said. She then held out her hand to the Toa on the ground. "My name is Naria, by the way, and I'd recommend we get in somewhere out of this cold. Ko-Koro isn't too far away."She looked suspiciously over to the being walking near them. She didn't know who it was, and didn't know if it was the horrible creature of a Toa that had nearly killed her before.

IC: Jasik (Flash-Freeze Suites, Ko-Koro)Jasik turned to Veira, looking worried."Veira, are you okay? You seem kind of out of it..."-Teezy

IC: AceAce nodded."I'm Ace. And that sounds great. Which way to Ko-Koro?" he asked.

IC (Weta): "This way, I reckon" Weta put in, pointing towards the koro. Guided by magnetic fields, he could never get lost anywhere on Mata Nui: a trait that was invaluabe in these icy wastes. "I'm Toa Weta" he said. "Nice to meet you both."

IC-Naria:Naria frowned at the Weta person who had just stepped up by them, and shook her head. "You're pointing a little too far to the west," she said. "If we go that way, we'll just go farther into the wastes. We'll barely have any chance of seeing Onu-Koro." She pointed slightly further to the East, showing the true direction of the Koro."That's where the village is," she said, and began to walk to it.

ooC: @EW, I know, but Vernadon isn't really in the mood to say that sort of thing.Also should I just bunny Amalod for the time being, since Mef left?IC: Vernadon and Tails"Up and about, trying to find the darn fools." Vernadon groaned, "Let's see, you're hear, as are Naara, and Bruntoa. Amalod, I believe is in her hut, and Sucogu is training Hau in the courtyard." He thought for a moment before speaking, "come let's go get Sucogu." He then looked at Rannin, "Rannin go and fetch Amalod and meet us at the courtyard."Meanwhile in the mindscape, Tails was still patiently waiting for the memory to end, there was something that Wraith knew, that Tails needed.The young Vernadon then drew his sword, "In that case you ready?

Ooc: I didn't know you have to be in a certain mood to question a questionable action...And yes, I'd say that is acceptable.Ic: "Yes, let's go," Kaccio said. "There have been rifts with the teachers," he remarked nonchalantly.

ooC: You do if you have a second personality in your head, besides Vernadon's already dragging Rannin around.IC: Vernadon"Indeed," Vernadon remarked simply, before leading the others towards the courtyard.

OOC: I was actually hoping that Sucogu and Hau might continue their sparring. This scene is minorly important to my plans, and will (uninterrupted) introduce some characters.But I'm afraid it's too late for that talk now. I guess Vernadon & Co. can get the sparring people.IC: Naara snorted derisively at Kaccio's remark as she followed. "What a troublesome business," she added in a just-as-casual remark of her own.

IC: Wraith - Spirit Form - Mind Trap -"Yes." He said simply, drawing his sword, as always when he when he sparred, his face remained completely emotionless, a typical trait of a Ice Toa. Without warning, Wraith went for a lunge, aiming for Vernadon's chest.

[iC: Rannin]"As you wish," said Rannin as he walked over to Amalod's hut. "You in there?"

IC-Kaylov:Kaylov held his cloak close to himself as he walked through the snowy wastes, following the flags set in the ground to Ko-Koro. He sighed. He liked it here, but the cold always got to him worse than it did anybody else. Probably his being weaker than the average Turaga contributed to that.He noticed the Ko-Koro walls, and stopped for a moment, relieved. He then continued up, still limping slightly. He walked over to a silent guard. "Will you show me the way to Turaga Nuju?" He asked, and the guard nodded politely and lead him to the Turaga's abode.When they were there, Kaylov said "Thank you," and handed the guard a few widgets. He then smiled as the guard walked away, a bit more spring in his step. He came up to the door, and knocked. "Turaga, I have a need to speak to you," he said.OOC: Assuming Turaga Nuju isn't dead/taken, of course.

IC-Naria:Naria frowned at the Weta person who had just stepped up by them, and shook her head. "You're pointing a little too far to the west," she said. "If we go that way, we'll just go farther into the wastes. We'll barely have any chance of seeing Onu-Koro." She pointed slightly further to the East, showing the true direction of the Koro."That's where the village is," she said, and began to walk to it.

IC (Weta): "If you know a better route-path to the village, then by all means, lead the way." Weta replied and followed after the Matoran. While his sense of direction was very good, local knowledge of the terrain could always pick a better way.

IC: Cikren (Ko-Wahi drifts)"Unless you would like to freeze to death," she said suddenly, surprizing all of those around, "I sudgest you take another route."How many more will I encounter today? she wondered to herself, Just when I want to be alone... The blue armored Toa of Ice willed away the blizzard surrounding her.

IC-Naria:"Well," Naria said sarcastically, "I'm fairly certain that since I walked straight onwards from the Koro to here from that direction," Naria held up her finger in the direction she had pointed out earlier, "That we'll probably get there rather quickly."

IC: CikrenShe glared at the matoran, but didn't respond to her sarcastic reply. The Toa of Ice turned, and began walking to Ko-Koro, slightly to the left of where Naria had pointed."Come," she said to the group, "I know the quickest way."

IC-Kaylov:Kaylov frowned-Turaga Nuju still hadn't answered. He shrugged-Nuju was most likely meditating. He stepped back, and began walking in the direction of Ta-Koro. Vakama was the leader of the island-if these Pirates were planning to kidnap him too, then they were in the perfect place to do so. He just hoped none of the other Turaga had been taken.He walked over to a small Gukko station that was maintained here, and payed one of the Le-Matoran there to use a Gukko. He climbed on, and began flying off to Ta-Koro.OOC: Kaylov to Ta-Koro.

IC: Amalod"Yes," Amalod replied, before walking out to meet Rannin.IC: Vernadon and TailsSoon the others arrived in the courtyard, where they saw the duel going on between Sucogu and Hau.In flash multiple movements took place. First, Vernadon was sidestepping the blade. Meanwhile he was drawing his own, and bringing it up to Wraith's neck. The end result, Vernadon had dodged the blade, and Wraith had another blade at his neck, that was the folly of charging into battle. A blade to the neck."Come now Wraith, how many times to I have to tell you, lunging like that at the beginning of a fight takes up so much momentum, that it leaves you, well I think you can figure it out."

IC: Wraith - Spirit Form - Mind Trap -Wraith nodded. But then the blade at his neck began to freeze suddenly. Wraith used the distraction to pull his blade up to Vernadon's neck. "And I believe I've also told you...don't get cocky..." He almost grinned.

IC: TailsVernadon grinned, then tapped Wraith on the shoulder, gesturing for him to look down, Vernadon's blade was magnetized to Wraith's neck. As for the blade at Vernadon's neck, it was no longer at his neck, unable to push through the magnetic field Vernadon had set up. "Cocky? Really?"
