BZPRPG: Ta-Wahi

IC: [Ril]"I don't actually know," Ril replied. "Anyway, what's your name?"

IC: "Everyone calls me Barricade. As for my real name, I hate it. I won't speak it."

IC: [Ril]"That is the stupidest name I've ever heard," said Ril. "Barricade? Seriously? Anyway, I'm Ril."

IC: Barricade burst out laughing. "And you call MY name stupid?! AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA!" It had been a long time since he genuinely laughed out of humor. He suddenly coughed due to that fact. "GAAK-KARZ!" He was laugh-coughing until he fell over. "Ow..." His voice was different. Less deep, less robotic. More raspy though. "Well, whatever."OOC: I think a fitting voice for him now would be Vegeta's. Goes with his (slightly) less evil personality, I guess.

IC: [Ril]"Ril is my surname," said the Toa of Fire. "And what happened to your voice?"

IC: Barricade shook his head. "This is how I used to sound like." Long, long ago... "It's because I've never laughed at anything because it's funny, until now. Your name-surname-whatever truly is ridiculous. Ril? What's that, some kind of fishing or gardening tool?" He gave another hoarse laugh. "I am called Barricade because I don't let enemies get through--ever. Or at least I didn't." He spat. "%^&*ing Argentum...Xanthium...KARZ." Maybe he could stab Argentum in the back later...get Ril to be HIS captive...whatever. For some reason the evil plans just weren't coming like they used to...

IC: [Ril]"What, do you want me to reverse it?" asked Ril. "You want my name to be Lir? That doesn't even fit me!"

IC: "Whatever! Your jokes are starting to bore me. It's not like I've lost all sense of pride from being around you. I won't roll over and laugh at EVERYTHING." He kicked the dirt. "How much longer is this fight gonna take? It's ridiculous!"OOC: I am perfectly aware that the fighters are offline, but Barricade isn't.

IC: [Ril]"I sense the birth of a new tsundere," said Ril dryly. "It's like my Lawful Goodness is corrupting your evil."

IC: At that, Barricade shot a disk at Ril. "Not a chance! Ha! Like I would ever care for anyone."

IC: [Ril]The disk burnt into ash before it could reach the Toa of Fire."Search your feelings," he said in a deep baritone. "You know it to be true."

IC: "I work with you because I'm stuck here. I'd rather be somewhere else...imagine if we had won, I'd become a ruler and gotten anything I wanted, and then--...." He was at a loss at what he would do for fun. He had remembered earlier. "Oh, right. Whip Matoran, hear them scream..." He suddenly got an image of himself being whipped. "Karz....!" He looked away from Ril. "Nothing. I sense nothing." he repeated stubbornly.

IC: [Ril]"Taking over the world is a rather dull plan," he remarked. "You'd have to keep everybody complacent and make sure nobody betrays you."The Toa of Fire paused for a moment."I wonder what Naona's doing right now?"

IC: "The betrayers are where we get the fun...a good execution is always fun." He thought of himself being executed. "I think." What was getting to him?! This Toa seemed to care so much for those around him...was he figuring out why?! What. The. KARZ!!!!!!!!!

IC: [Ril]"To consolidate your hold on things you'd probably need the full support of the military," said Ril. "That's a bit hard unless they respect you."

IC: "And what if they fear death enough to obey orders? That always seems to work." At least he wasn't feeling remorse about obedience through fear...

IC: [Ril]"You are but one Toa," said Ril. "The military is a large group of trained professionals."

IC: "Professionals my (censored)...Did you see how we decimated them in that battle? AHAHAHAHAHA!" That attack was too easy. Wait, no it wasn't. "CURSED XANTHIUM!"

IC: [Ril]"I suppose you have an enemy by the name of Xanthium," he drawled. "Who helped foil your plans of conquest."

IC: "A team of Toa. The Toa Xanthium...the most powerful Toa I've seen in my lifetime!"OOC: He hasn't seen the Toa Mata.IC: "The only Toa not in that team who could match them were my team, and Argentum! We lost because of the accursed Guard helping them..." Oh well. He'd find something better to do--brain, what do you mean something better to do?! IS there something better than world domination? KARZ! He was so confused!

IC: [Ril]"So you got beaten by a random team of Toa," said Ril. "I see."

IC: "HEY, MOST OF THEM WERE GRUNTS. Just the teamwork made them troublesome. AND THAT PRACTICALLY UNBEATABLE RED ONE! ARGH!" Now Barricade had a goal. SURPASS TAHUVA WITH HIS OWN STRENGTH AT ANY COST!

IC: [Ril]"Uh huh," he said. "You were defeated by the 'red one'. Don't worry man, chromatic superiority trumps skill and power all the time."

IC: Barricade raged. "RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT! YOU SAW HIM, HE WALKED INTO VAKAMA'S HUT AN HOUR AGO!" His rage escaped as elemental power, shaking the whole pit apart. The walls and ground outside the pit crumbled equally, leaving a rocky plain. "RAAAAAH! STOP MESSING AROUND!"

IC: [Ril]"Oh him," said the Toa of Fire. "Seemed like a bit of a rookie to me. And don't make the pit bigger. It's rather annoying."

OOC: Actually Tahuva's a veteran, last of the Pyro Tribe, a super-powerful family of Fire Toa. And he's been around probably longer than any non-geriatric or Turaga character in this game, aside from Zeltroth, Fallen, and Senturon.IC: "If he was a rookie, explain his actions in the battle! First he stands up to SHOCKWAVE, a massive nearly indestructible Skakdi with a huge cannon! Shockwave killed half the Guardsmen who resisted us! Then, he flies in some sort of special armor suit and KILLS OUR DEADLIEST RAHI, THE DRILLER, WHICH CAN CUT BUILDINGS IN HALF LIKE BUTTER WITHOUT ANY ELEMENTAL POWERS! Or weapons! NEXT, he survives MOLTEN METAL BLASTS with only a few scratches, then comes back all fancy and KILLS 15 OF OUR WARRIORS, PLUS SHOCKWAVE, WITHIN 30 SECONDS. AND AS IF THAT WASN'T ENOUGH, HE KILLS OUR LEADERS IN BATTLE, EVEN WITH THE GUKKO PUTTING HIM AT A DISADVANTAGE! YOU CALL THAT A ROOKIE?" At least Tahuva was a good excuse for losing the fight...

OOC: ...Sounds incredibly overpowered.IC: [Ril]Ril raised a metaphorical eyebrow."I see," he said. "Anyway, has my Lawful Goodness and Sense of Justice corrupted you yet?"

OOC: Barricade's leaving out the fact that the killing spree ending in Shockwave cost him his armor, and that he had help with the Gukko. A lot of help.IC: Barricade spat. "NO!" He looked away. What to do...? "SAY SOMETHING, IT'S TOO QUIET! I CAN'T THINK OF ANYTHING TO DO!"OOC: This is a funny moment...XD

IC: [Ril]"Do you want me to knock you unconscious so you don't need to do anything?" asked the Toa of Fire.

IC: ArgentumArgentum tripped back into the pit, which wasn't really a pit anymore.Argentum(Whispering): Shut up! You fool! Our only cover, gone! And Tahuva is weak if he can't disarm, and only kill! Now shut up, and either dig underground and hide, or help us and stop the attacks!A javeling flew past its ear, and jabbed itself beside Barricade's foot, barely missing it.Argentum:......You were saying?

IC: "Like you could." That much, at least, remained true. Barricade was strong enough not to be knocked out by Ril. "Anyway...seeing as this fight is boring, I may as well go to sleep of my own free will." Using his earth powers, he flattened out somewhere for him to lie down and then did so. Maybe a little sleep WOULD help his confused mind a bit.

IC: [Ril]Ril sighed as he pointed at the ground, a concentrated beam of fire emerging from his finger tips. He quickly managed to carve out a small hole within the pit, and jumped in, hoping to avoid dying.

IC: ArgentumArgentum:...Totally Worth It!He closed his eyes and took a nap somewhere in the middle of a Battlefield, although all his swords were hoisted up, stabbed into the ground to provide slight shielding from disks and stuff.

IC: Barricade noticed the others sleeping, or starting to. Whatever. He had too much on his mind. Why was he feeling like he'd be just fine as a good guy?!

IC: [Ril]"I feel a disturbance in the Force," Ril commented as he looked around out of his little hole.

IC: ArgentumArgentum: Good for you. Shut up, let me sleep, or go die in a hole. I'm tired.

IC:Sisk jumped back at the sight of Kalama under a shower of burning wood. The Le-Matoran had his batons out, expecting anothe attack, but it apparently was neither. He watched the comedic scene unfold. He jumped again when a knife interreupted the scene. This was all a bit more than he had bargained for. "I just want to make sure that Kapura is guarded-safe." he muttered. "We can't long-linger."

IC: [Ril]"Kapura?" asked Ril. "I haven't seen him in a while. What's up with him?"

IC: ArgentumArgentum: Last I heard from Kalama, Kopeke had gotten...'Kidnapped' by Macku. Well, they now want Kapura safe...and alive.

IC - Kyju - FightingKyju nodded to Naona, setting his sights on the Toa of ice.Kyju lunged forward, his tail coming around in an attempt to strike Utu in the head. After that, his large hands slammed down powerfully at him.Following up those strikes was a kick to the solar plex.
