BZPRPG: Le-Wahi

IC: MadrihkThe Toa's smile shrunk away."Sounds like bad news? We better talk about it at once, then. I do prefer spoken words over writing, when it comes to reports really."

IC: Alfon"Alright, follow me." Alfon said, leading the two to the Headquarters building, closing the door once they were both in for some privacy. Grabbing the paper with information on, the Toa of electricity began reading it in case he would miss something."Well...for one thing, Solia's dead...murdered actually." he began, pausing to let the words seep in. "By who and when is a complete mystery to us but it wasn't a fresh kill. I'm sure you can imagine that Trakuda's not handling it very well."

IC: [Treize]"No. You made them so mad they spontaneously got the element of ... DOOM."---IC: [Ril]"I got dem for da cheaper."

IC: MadrihkThe ILS leader was surprised."Murdered?" he hissed, half out of anger and half out of disbelief. In a more normal tone, he continued: "Solia is dead? I know she left on mysterious urgent business, but to think that it might have been that bad... Where did you find her?"

IC:Iraanus merely nodded in agreement, expecting the door to open momentarily...But it did not. "Huh," Iraanus muttered, rapping on the hut door again. And again, there was no response. The Skakdi shrugged. "Guess no one's home."

IC: Alfon"We were leaving Onu-Koro until our attention was diverted to a local crowd. We left Trakuda to it and then he came back with her mask, looking sad as ever." Alfon said."I would stay wary of newcomers, just in case...that's all I got for you on Solia at the moment. Any more questions or you want me to move onto some more serious stuff?"

IC:Rhow frowned as she eyed the door that remained shut. She was about to tell Iraanus about her disappointment, when a voice spoke up from behind the two Skakdi. "You will not find answers here." it said.The female Skakdi turned around. At the bottom of the stairs, a Matoran was looking up at them. She was rather slender in build, but wirey, strong and just as tall as the male Matoran. "What does that mean?" Rhow asked."It means, the Turaga is gone, taken by the darkness." the Matoran replied. OOC: That's Leah, NPC and soon-to-be an actual character.

IC: Madrihk"That's serious enough already," Madrihk said with the brow of his Kakama furrowed. "But yes, alright, tell me what else happened in Onu-Koro."

IC: Alfon"Alright, here's some more bad news...Whenua's gone. As in he disappeared, vanished completely with no trace of where he is now. With the Turaga suddenly disappearing altogether, I don't think it's a coincidence."He paused, looking seemingly distant in thought."Good chunk of the Great Mine blew up, killing a lot of people, including injuring our good friend Sulov, Ussalry squadron commander. They've agreed to come however whether they will with everything going on in their home, I'm not so sure now."OOC: They are coming, Alfon just doesn't know.

IC: Madrihk"Whenua is gone? Has Matau been located yet, or is he truly missing as well? This is not good."Madrihk barely waited for a reply before he continued speaking."If the Turaga are being taken away, then we have bigger trouble on our hands than the Nui-Rama," he said in a low voice. "While in Ta-Koro, I overheard some guards speaking. Nokama was taken in a surprise attack by Rahi not long ago. Rumors went that Onewa was kidnapped too, though a group of warriors saved him. I didn't get to speak with Vakama this time around, but I know he is still safe. Ta-Koro's hospital was destroyed in an attack by a single Toa, however, which leads me to believe there are powerful forces afoot."The Toa of Ice looked over his list of team members."I'm prepared to call off the hive attack," he said. "The people who have gathered here might not like it, but the villages need protection. Ta-Koro is a veritable fortress, but surely someone will come for Vakama soon, if this pattern is anything to go by. Nuju as well."He looked up at Alfon, thoughts and half-developed plans churning in his head."The ILS might have to move in as a defense force," he stated, "...if we can all agree to that. Morale must be kept high if this island is to ever break free from Makuta's oppression, and the village elders disappearing does not help that cause."

IC: Plagia - Laka PalaPlagia stroked her chin sagely at JiMing's question for a moment. Who were these people? Mussiki had said they were a group somewhere between Toa and pirates. So, a bunch of Templar Knights? That was disturbing on a number of levels. World had enough of those as it was."Not really sure," she finally responded in a whisper, trying not to arouse any suspicion among the large group, "I just hope Mussiki knows, honestly."-Void

IC-Mussiki:"Don't worry," Mussiki said, grinning widely. "They're great people, trust me. In fact, let's catch the attention of a couple of them. Plagia, you yell 'Dendron!' really loudly. JiMing, you yell 'Kal.' Ready? Okay, go!" Mussiki said, amplifying his companion's voices.

IC: AlfonAlfon couldn't help but feel a tinge of annoyance upon hearing that the assault on the Nui-Rama hive might possibly be put off. His very boring and idle time in Onu-Koro was dedicated to getting a force to help, costing him a good bit of patience. Although, Madrihk did make a valid point and Alfon had to agree with him."Like I usually say, you're the boss, Madrihk. I wouldn't mind calling off the attack for now: the Rama don't seem like the biggest threat at the moment. Who knows, maybe if we try to help out and succeed, we might just get ourselves a good bit of reputation and supplies from the villages themselves."Alfon took the list, now his turn to look over the members. His eyes couldn't help but stop on a few he was good friends with, including his brothers."We do have a good bit of manpower at our disposal. We may stand as a liberation squad but I also think we represent ourselves as commendable people trying to help the island. Acting as a defense force would merely turn our roles to that of guardians, almost, if y'know what I mean.""You wanna call a gathering?"OOC: I think we should elect some members to be part of some type of council, have a slightly bigger status. Gathering among these people would be interesting and it would help instill order.

OOC: I agree.IC: Madrihk"Note that I'm not putting off the plan entirely. There is only so much we can do for defense that hasn't been done already, but if the Turaga are disappearing, we should probably see what we can do about that. Track down their new location, perhaps. On the other hand, water-based Rahi were involved in the Ga-Koro incident, and since the best way of circumventing Ta-Koro's defenses is by flight, it might actually be better to attack the hive sooner rather than later. Preemptive measures, if you will."Madrihk brooded for a few moments."Yes, call a gathering," he said. "It's time to get off our butts around here."

IC: Alfon"Alright, cap'n."It was about time they would get something done around here. Alfon opened the building door and strode out into the open village, standing in an area where everyone could relatively hear him."All members of the Island Liberation Squad!" he called out through cupped hands. "Report to headquarters! I repeat, Island Liberation Squad members, report to HQ!. Those of you who don't know which building that is, I'll let you know that I'm ashamed of you and laugh at your face but if you will, follow me please!"Alfon began making his way back to the building Madrihk awaited them in, signaling for everyone to follow.OOC: I love Alfon

IC: [Ril]"I'm sho drunk."

IC:"Yes, Ril. I'm sure we all know you're drunk," Kethrye said, walking past towards the main building. "Very drunk."

IC: [Ril]"I AM the ULTIMATE DRUNK!"

IC: Tillian (???, Le-Koro)Tillian just sighed and shook his head."Let's just get out of here," he said. "I want to find Pollux Troy and tear him apart."-Teezy

IC: Tillian (???, Le-Koro)Following Skyra, Tillian twirled his Staff of Absorption around his hand and waited for the moment when he reached the Outpost.-Teezy

IC-Dragou:Dragou followed after the two, Krayn watching him from behind. The Toa of Sonics still didn't seem to trust the Toa of Gravity.

OOC: I leave for 1 DAY and all this happens?I.C. Vompran Followed Alfon to the main HQ. He seems much more mature since I saw him last. He's changed. "Looks like things are heating up. I can't wait till we get some true freedom on this island."

OOC: Alfon may look like a complete dummy at times with 0 inhibition but he knows when to buckle down and get serious. IC: Alfon"You and me both, Vompran." Alfon replied, continuing to motion for people to enter the building.

I.C. Vompran "Glad to have you back. Did you end up in any fights in Onu-koro?"

IC: Alfon"Just one, almost killed Kal and had a spar with Dendron." Alfon replied, smiling as he reminisced on the ridiculous mistake that had occurred there.

I.C. Vompran"Kal is on our side now, right?""Oh, and I sparred Volin. He's tough." He added as a side note.

IC: Skyra - Just beyond the Outpost, Le-koro -Skyra stopped suddenly, giving the motion for the others to stop as well. "It's just ahead." He said in a hoarse whisper.

OOC: Sorry about not finishing that spar. Lost track and a bit of laziness got involved IC: VolinAs if on cue, Volin made his way to the headquarters, overhearing the conversation his little brother was having with tree-hugger Vompran he fought."You rang? You're tough too, greeny, I look forward to sparring with you again but for now, lets go see what these shanks have cooked up for us, shall we?"Without further ado, he strolled into the building, his older brother Onyx trailing behind.

IC: JiMing"Kal!" JiMing shouted, surprised at the volume of his own voice."Did you do something?" he asked Mussiki.

OOC: Yup I.C. Vompran, not exactly sure what Volin had said, took it as a compliment. "Too bad I don't speak-talk swagish." The plant toa thought to himself. He entered the building after his companions.OOC: Last post for the night.

IC:"And I spent the entire time greeting newbies," Kethrye said, joining Vompran and Alfon. "Really, you'd think someone else would lend a hand. I'm not the freaking doorman." He grinned. "Still, it's good to have everybody back."

IC: Alfon"What can I say, you're a newbie magnet." Alfon said, winking as Kethrye joined in. "But I must say, the position of doorman would suit you greatly...I can see it now, you sitting at a desk at the gates, bored as karz while you do all that dumb business.""I can assure you I would visit often, 'brighten' up your day here and there, bring you a cup of tea maybe."

IC:"I'd prefer coffee, thanks," Kethrye replied. "And I don't want to be doorman. Unless being doorman has "mauling people using sharp objects" in the job description."He paused. "Actually knowing us, it most likely is."

IC: [Ril]"HEY FRIEND! LOOK! IT'S A SKY RABBIT!"

IC: Alfon"Knowing us, I think you're right. Did I tell you that doormen get a nice hat to go along with the job, along with a book, coffee and visits from me? Did I also mention that visits from me are like pocketfuls of sunshine, instantly making your day that much better?"

IC:". . . Are you as drunk as Ril is?" Kethrye said, busting into a hardy chuckle. "Anyway, how long do you think until this gathering-thing starts?"

IC: [Ril]"WE MUST DEFEAT THE ENEMIES! THEY ARE THE SKY RABBITS!"

IC:"Okay. No way you're that drunk," Kethrye said, amending his statement to Alfon.

IC: Alfon"Trust me, you don't wanna see me drunk, Kethrye." Alfon admitted, laughing slightly now."The meeting will start when most of us are here. This is a group discussion and we need a majority here. Pretty big deal, if you ask me, you'll see."

IC: [Ril]"THE SKY RABBITS ARE THE ENEMIES! WE MUST DEFEAT THEM!"
