BZPRPG: Kini-Nui

OOC: I am well aware of what you meant. I was making a funny. :PIC: The only words that seemed to punch through the hysterics to Tanuka's brain were "Could, Not, and Probably."Combined with her distraught thinking that added words it ended with this sentence in Tanuka's head. 'Could probably not be alive.'OOC: Someone smack the girl before she goes off into the deep end please?

IC Nen:Nen took hold of Tanuka and gave a light shake. "GET A HOLD OF YOUSELF, TANUKA. FOCUS," he said to her, forcefully, but not with anger. "Listen," he continued. "Kalama is fine. He can handle himself. And you can handle yourself too. Calm down and we can all figure out what to do." He turned to Kamaehu and Xibre. "Now let's all be reasonable. First of all, who are you?" he asked Xibre. "And as for you," he said to Kamaehu. "Are you sure that there wasn't a plan at all established? There must be a reason you showed up here to talk to us instead of going with the other toa or Kalama."

OOC: @ Kalama: Oh... derp! I should have known! *facepalm*IC, Xibre: Xibre bowed to the group. "I am Xibre, sole inhabitant of this part of the jungle, at your service." He rose up. "Now what are your names? I like to keep track of who I talk to these days."

IC Nen:"It's a pleasure to meet you. My name's Nen Yabayand, the nervous blue one here is Tanuka, the currently quiet one over there is Agarin, and I haven't actually been formally introduced in any way to the other two, but they're also with us."

IC, Xibre: Xibre nodded. "Y'know, I couldn't help but overhearing your very confusing conversation there. It seems to me like you can't decide whom to look for. Maybe you should tell me the whole story."

IC Nen:"Okay," Nen began. He took a deep breath. "Three of our other friends plus these two here," he said, pointing to Kamaehu and Ara'kas, "Went to Ko-Wahi ahead of us to look for someone. Now, these two here," he continued, again pointing to Kamaehu and Ara'kas, "Have come and informed us that our friends have finished their business in Ko-Wahi and have now split up with one going to follow some other friends of his, probably to Ta-Wahi, and a pair of our friends going to look in Onu-Koro for someone else, so now we have to decide where to go, because these two tell us that our friend who went after his group of friends and is acting as the sort of leader of our group didn't give these two any instructions to follow despite sending them here to tell us that they were done in Ko-Wahi." He pause. "And that's our story in a nutshell. Any questions?"

Due to the Toa of Earth's natural strength the shake was a little harder than he intended but it seemed to do the job.Tanuka was forced to to calm down as she reoriented herself at which point she listened to Nen's recap.She took a few calming breaths and said, "Thank you Nen. I'm... I'm sorry I lost my head like that..." She covered her face with her hands. "...I am so embarrassed..."After a few minutes she composed herself. "I think we should go to Onu-Koro." She said. "It's closer and maybe Thama or Cyrax know more about what Kalama is trying to do."

OOC: If Kalama actually did have a plan for these three/five can you tell me what it was?IC: Kamaehu nodded, turning to Nen. "I am Kamaehu, and this is Ara'kas. You could say we are travelers." The Fire toa turned now back to Tanuka. "In truth, we were supposed to take you to Rock Frost. But I am not going to do that, for two reasons. Going back to Ko-Koro means I will have to leave all of this, and I know you need more training. No matter how skilled Kalama is, there are some things about being a toa only another toa can teach."

OOC: Mata-Nui darn it! Ninja'd!IC(Agarin): "I'll just go with the flow." Agarin said, "But don't think for one moment that means I don't have an opinion."

IC: Ara'kas' hand had a swift reunion with the front of her mask. "You mean Taipu, right?" She asked Agarin.

OOC: I believe the plan was for you to get Nen Tanuka and Agarin and for all of us to join Thama and Cyrax searching for Taipu.IC Nen:Nen nodded. "I agree. We should head to Onu-Koro to protect Taipu. We'd better get moving."

IC, Xibre: " 'Ey, wait! Can I go with you? I haven't seen the outside world in ages."

OOC: That is correct. And I believe Ara'kas has also had this revelation. Both she and Kamaehu were there after all.Tanuka gave Agarin a wry look. "If you have one then why don't you state it?" She asked.

OOC: She was too busy being prejudiced against matoran.IC: Kamaehu smiled at Tanuka's comment. He had been about too point that out himself. "So, done with your mental breakdown, Miss Tanuka?"

OOC: I mean she remembered who they were supposed to go after. XDIC: "Yes. I-I believe I'm fine. So we're going to Onu-Koro to find Taipu now?"

OOC: No, originally Agarin said we needed to hurry to protect Onepu.IC: Kamaehu nodded. "Well, first we will meet up with Cyrax and Thama. Then find Taipu."

IC Nen:"If it's decided, let's get going." He started to head in the direction of the nearest Onu-Wahi entrance. "If you want to go with us Xibre, you can. Just try not to get into trouble."

OOC: Well, I had been ninja'd, so I thought I would have to edit my post. Sorry for causing confusion.

OOC: Psst! Tanuka's taunting Agarin. You gonna take that?IC: Tanuka nodded. "Then to Onu-Koro we should go."

IC(Agarin): Agarin looked at Tanuka."I just want to speak my important ones when they matter. Such as right now."

The look became a grin. "So the only thing important you have to say is that you have important things to say but you're not going to say them? That kind of defeats the purpose of them being important enough to say." She teased.

IC Nen:Nen called back over his shoulder from down the way, "Still moving here! If you want to share your important opinions, it would be best to do it while moving."

Tanuka blinked. "No need to shout Nen. I'm standing right here." She said. Pausing for a minute she added. "Technically I'm walking right here but ether way you slice it, I'm here. Here. Here. I'm here but not there, not there but here... ow." Tanuka rubbed at her head."That's a mindtwister."

IC(Agarin):"No." Agarin sighed, "What I mean is that I will speak my opinions when important and if they are relevant."

IC, Xibre: "Yes! I'm goin' out into the world again!" He ran up to Tankua. "Hey, I heard you said that you know Kalama. How is he doin'?"

Tanuka gave Agarin an odd look. "Now you sound like Juno. She doesn't speak much ether." She looked at Xibre. "Kalama? Oh he's doing okay, at least he was last time I saw him... I hope he's still okay..."

OOC: I was thinking that Agarin was standing still and talking about him having an opinion while we were walking off.IC Nen:"I always liked here. It's different from everywhere else," Nen responded, not even fazed by Thama's phrasing. "It's okay if your head hurts. Most people who try to think like me have that happen to them."

IC: "Play nice kids." came the voice of an amused Kamaehu, walking besides Nen. "And think statements through before you say them. You're almost giving me a headache."

"VVvvvVVvVvVVvvvvVVvv..." Tanuka said shivering again. "I think another ghost passed through me or something. I don't know about the rest of you but... I feel like I'm being watched... I don't like it..."

IC, Xibre: "Ghosts? I've lived here almost a hundred years, and I can assure you that there's no ghosts in this place. Though I do feel the 'being watched' feelin', also."

IC Nen:"Hmm..." Nen said. "I'm not really feeling any 'being watched' feeling myself. Maybe I'm not as important to be observed as you two. Regardless, as long as they aren't out to get us, they can watch all they want. I mean, I haven't done anything to warrent the wrath of the dead, and I'm pretty sure none of you haven't, so we should be fine, right?"

IC: Kamaehu could be seen visibly drawing in a sharp intake of breath. "N-no. The dead have nothing to base their wrath upon. About this being watched, though, it's odd. I don't feel I'm being watched, per say, but I feel I've been noticed."

"...I think Makuta is watching us..."Tanuka looked around at everyone's gaze."W-w-w-well it make sense r-r-right? A bunch of Toa hanging around his front door? Even through we're just passing through to somewhere else... heh." She said with a nervous grin on her face."I mean, it's not like Kalama's ghosts or anything..."

IC: "So? Let him watch." Ara'kas said dismissively. "After all, we're just passing through. And every eye he has pointed at us is one more not pointed at others. As for the 'ghosts', it's just the wind."

"...not very nice is she?" Tanuka whispered to Kamaehu. "What happened? Did she almost die or something?"

IC: Kamaehu motioned for Kamaehu to come closer, then whispered back. "Ara'kas has always been a little rough around the edges. It has been getting a bit worse since she got stuck guarding me."

OOC: I smell a character development and back story moment!IC: Tanuka gave Kamaehu a curious look. "Guarding you? What do you mean by guarding you? And how is it getting worse?"

IC, Xibre: Xibre turned to Nen. He attempted to make small talk. "So, Nen... what do you do for a livin'?"

IC Nen:"Well, me and two of my other friends were bored one day and decided to form the SemDysFunc Do-Gooders Brigade. The three of us go around helping people who need help for the good of everyone. It's fun. Sometimes people actually pay us to help them. More rarely, people actually remember hiring us to help them. It's great."

IC, Xibre: "That's good. Helping people is always a good thing. Y'know, I liked helping people, too. Which was why, when I was still livin' in Ga-Koro, I was going to join the Marines. But I never did..."
