BZPRPG: Le-Wahi

OOC: I was expecting him to haggle downwards, but OK :)IC (Matan and Natan): The pair happily took the bag of money from the toa. "With that weapon, you should be able to earn it again quickly enough". Matan told him, before going back inside the house with Natan. It had been a busy day for the two, but also highly profitable, as they had earned over 300 widgets.

IC: VolinVolin fired off a momentary warning glare at Reordin as he heard his snort before his eyes settled upon Skrihen once more, catching the sudden change in her eyes at the last second. How strange...although he would suppress his curiosity at the moment; he had done enough with his last unintentional compliment."Volin, second oldest of the three triplets here, others being Onyx and deputy leader Alfon." he said, offering her his hand to shake accompanied by a likeable grin of a smile."So how long have you been in this big happy family? I'm relatively new although I may not stick around for long, y'know, on that suicide squad cool dude Madrihk put me on."

IC: Reordin (Pala-Koro)The sarcastic, almost-Toa-sized Ko-Matoran stood relaxed against the hut, mimicking every single one of Volin's words under his breath. He caught Skrihen's eye and winked at her before drawing a little circle around his temple and flicking his finger at the smooth-talking ILS member.-Teezy

IC: SkrihenSkrihen shook his hand cautiously, trying to hide her strength. At most, Volin might note she was stronger than she looked."Not long. I'm with Demolitions."

IC: VolinWithout even looking at Reordin or giving any indication that he had noticed his shenanigans, he activated his Matatu and forced Reordin to jab his index into his nostril as he finished shaking hands with Skrihen, still smiling."Looks like you'll be working with my brother Onyx then, good chap he is but more than a little stiff." Volin remarked, grinning slightly. Onyx and him weren't exactly a perfect fit for each other as brothers."Kind of a ridiculous question but are you looking forward to it?"

IC: Reordin/Helix (Pala-Koro)Luckily for Reordin, Helix snapped into action at that exact moment: as Volin's Matatu activated, the downers Reordin had taken to try and suppress her had worn off. Helix grabbed hold of the hut as her hand made its way towards Reordin's mask."Heavy breeze," Reordin muttered, silently thanking his alternate identity.-Teezy

IC: SkrihenSkrihen shrugged, as if uncertain. "I don't know. I look forward to the challenge, but I don't know how I'll hold up in prolonged conflict. Most of the fights I've been in didn't last long."Inside, Skrihen cursed. The cheerful atmosphere was making it difficult to hide her Mark. It was glowing up a storm underneath her jacket, and she had to fight to keep more than a tint out of her eyes.

IC: Reordin (Pala-Koro)Helix. Go away. Now isn't the time for this.That's sweet of you.Helix...I don't wanna leave.He sighed."Skrihen! I need to talk battle strategies with you for a sec," he called over, drawing only minor satisfaction from the anger he was getting off Volin. He needed this dealt with. Now.-Teezy

IC: Skrihen"Uh... Okay." Skrihen said, confused. She looked at Volin. "I'll be back in a sec, okay?"Without waiting for an answer, she turned and walked over to Reordin, her strides smooth, efficient and controlled. "Yes?" She asked. "What is it?"

IC: Reordin (Pala-Koro)Turning away and walking around the side of the hut where no one could see them, Reordin popped another three downers and slapped at his cheek, sighing as he swallowed them. He could feel himself calming down again as he turned to Skrihen and handed her the bottle."I need you to keep these handy during the battle. In case...I'll explain later. Just keep 'em with you, alright?"-Teezy

IC: (Tarotrix/Pala Koro)Despite his best efforts, Tarotrix was getting nervous. He was going to help spearhead one of the largest operations in Mata Nui's history. The realization that a failure might lead to him or his troops getting killed nagged at him like an annoying fly. Taking a deep breath, he figured he'd do something productive.Taking out a whetstone, he slowly sharpened his blade. IC: (Aryll/Pala Koro)Things seemed to be looking cautiously bright for the ILS. Detachments from four guard services, a large number of Toa, and a detailed plan. All going into a grand attack. Compared to the armies he'd once commanded, this was extremely tiny. But he supposed this was the best these savages could muster.Sitting upon a stump, he tried to predict the possible outcomes of the battle. The most likely, in his mind, was ILS-Guard victory. These rama wouldn't be much of a problem. All they were was giant insects. The only advantage they had was numbers. And they didn't have elemental powers.With a confident smirk, he waited for Madrihk to begin the campaign.

IC: Dervian got ready to fight. He tested his Miru and Wind powered pseudo flight. "Yep. Fly around and bring the pain! You could call me a Bumblebee!"

IC: SkrihenSkrihen carefully stowed the bottle on a coat pocket, near her Mark. "Respectfully, I would appreciate an explanation. Especially since you are rather important to this team."

OOC: You know that moment when your parents steal the computer from you and say they'll be only five minutes and it turns into 30? Yeah, just had one of those.IC: VolinVolin simply nodded as he stood idly, putting his hands in his pockets as he looked around, examining a few people here and there. OOC: Zombie, you do know that memories of events outside of Mata-Nui are completely muffled by amnesia right...?

IC: Rockosis ran back to the boat, clutching his new weapon. Coming back to the ship, he decided to find Tooroko. "Captain, our ship will be repaired in a few days. In the meantime, I got a new weapon, and am having a general good time here. What about you?"OOC: Lorax, what do you want to do right now?-Bane

OOC: Timeskipping to stay in sync with other characters. I will assume that Tooroko bought the supplies he discussed from Unari and got them back to the ship.IC (Tooroko): "I got us some supplies" Tooroko replied as Rockosis came back onboard. "We should be well stocked for a few weeks from now. What's this new weapon you got? Mind if I take a look?"OOC: Give me a moment to come up with what they'll do next. I'll try to think of something cool to do.

IC: [uyism]"Place. Very warm."

IC: "Sure!" Rockosis handed the Vortixx the weapon. "It's a fusion of my earlier mace and a sword I found lying around. It's a sword with a launcable blade. I can either swashbuckle with it, or eject-stab the blade and use it as a bladed nunchuck. Useful little weapon, for repelling boarders, or whatever is needed. I can even use it to climb trees. Payed a little too much for it, but at least I'm a happy customer. Just gonna have to get used to launching it, though. It gives a hard kickback."OOC: Maybe do a little Nui-Rama hunting? I hear it's hunting season this time of year -Bane

OOC:

IC:Trakuda stepped forth to greet the Onu-Koronans too, grinning from ear to ear to see that Sulov was well again, and with a blade for hand, it seemed."Sul, Sue, Sooey, ol' Sulovian, my man! Good to see you're all well and good again, that near-death experience was quite the scare. Have a Jelly baby." he whipped a tiny, squishy, vaguely Matoran-shaped sweet seemingly from nowhere and threw it at Sulov, before cartwheeling into oblivion and reappearing on a tree branch overhead abnormally fast.This hyperactivity was sparked by something darker: that he would soon be able to satisfy his latent bloodlust, and his need to blame someone for Solia's death. The happiness masked his almost chronic depression.

OOC: You mean join the ILS' attack, or just go find some others in the jungle?IC (Tooroko): "Very impressive" the Vortixx replied as he inspected the weapon. He had seen his share of cool blades with excellent craftsmanship of Xia, and this one wasn't shabby by comparison. "That's a good weapon" he concluded, "Why don't we try it out?"He withdrew his own blade, while handing Rockosis' back to him.

IC: Skyra - Crimson Nova Outpost, Le-koro -Now, this may sound biased coming from me, but I think the Hau is got to be one of the best Kanohi ever. Seriously, if I hadn't used my Hau to block Reik's stone shards, I'd be in pretty bad shape. Nevertheless this new attacker was even more annoying than the fleeing Toa of Air. Not one to just wait for this hidden attacker to kill us, I began to sweep ever place around us that could possibly be used to hide from us, and blew it away. In a few moments are attacker would be in plain view.

IC: Reordin (Pala-Koro)Reordin sighed."You ever taken a psychology class?"-Teezy

IC: Skrihen"No." Skrihen answered, truthfully. "But I have a basic understanding."

IC: Reordin (Pala-Koro)"Disassociative identity disorder," said Reordin. "Op gone wrong a couple years ago, I was held and tortured by a group of bounty hunters, left in the desert for dead. Fun times."He sighed and closed his eyes as the downers began to take affect in full force. After a second, he opened them again."In the process, my psyche divided itself in two and created an alternate personality to help me pass the time. After I got back to Ko-Koro, though...this personality wouldn't go away. I've been trying to keep her controlled ever since. And I do not need her popping up on this job."-Teezy

IC: Skrihen"She?" Skrihen's voice held a trace if amusement. "Now it makes sense. And I take it the pills keep her suppressed?"

IC: Reordin (Pala-Koro)"Yes, and I need her to stay that way," he said. "The way I see it...you keep my secret, I'll keep yours."IC: Tillian (Crimson Nova Outpost, Le-Koro)Tillian was unprepared as he was slung through the roof, and only quick use of his Kadin stopped him from breaking his nose on reentry. As he moved back down towards the battle, though, he was picked off by - something. A Toa of Air, winged, Kadin-wearer. Mark Bearer.She leaned over him and smiled."Don't try and fight it, baby," she purred. "I'm the Mark Bearer of Lust. I can feel it downstairs. Your fiancee, perhaps?""If you touch her..." he growled and she giggled."You'll do what? Rip out my guts? Good luck."She tore at his face with her talons, sending a long, singular scratch across his face. He snarled in pain and she giggled louder."Like I said," she said, positioning herself around him in an even more sensual position, nuzzling his neck. "I'm the Mark Bearer of Lust. Power the likes of which you can't even begin to comprehend runs through my blood."Tillian gasped a bit in pain as Angelus's dagger began to pierce his side before he laughed."Can you pick the one word in that sentence you shouldn't have said?" he growled, revealing his fangs an instant before tearing into Succubus's throat with his teeth and ripping it out. The Mark Bearer had just enough time to watch the handsome, feral young Toa of Gravity swallow a large chunk of her windpipe whole before she collapsed to the roof, dead.He groaned and leaned back, unable to move...-Teezy

OOC.... Well o-kay then, Durden. Didn't see that one coming, I'll admit.IC: SkrihenSkrihen's eyes narrowed. "What secret could I possibly have?" Her voice never changed, it remained it's normal, quiet quality.

OOC: Good. That was the point. :3IC: Reordin (Pala-Koro)Reordin raised an eyebrow."I am from Ko-Koro," he said with a smirk. "Mark Bearer activity is around its highest there. What do you run off of? Excitement? Pleasure? Something along those lines. Your eyes have been that color lavender since the battle plan was announced."-Teezy

IC: SkrihenSkrihen stared for a moment, then laughed quietly. "So much joy. Too much for me to properly hide my Mark." She shifted her jacket off to one side, revealing her Mark. For a moment, she allowed both her Mark and her eyes to glow. Then she cut it off once more, and her Mark was once more concealed. "You're more clever than I thought, Reordin."Her voice hadn't changed volume, but it had lost a fair degree of it's uncertainty.

IC: Reordin (Pala-Koro)"Was that a compliment?" asked the dark young Ko-Matoran, clearly unfazed. "Because it seemed like one."-Teezy

IC: Skrihen"It was neutral. Neither an insult, nor a compliment. Feel free to take it as one, though. After all, I don't want to anger you, now do I? It's in neither of our best interests."

IC: Tillian (Crimson Nova Outpost, Le-Koro)Ten minutes later, the sounds of battle still raging inside, Tillian opened his eyes slowly and looked around, not seeing anything. Wait. What was--"Oh, no," he muttered, moving over to the Toa of Air beside him. He spun her around and gasped, recoiling instinctively. Her eyes were wide in shock and fear, and her mouth had an inkling of blood leaking from it. Vaguely, Tillian remembered her...something about Lust...Then his heart stopped as he saw the huge gash in her throat, the ripping motions that had torn her trachea and windpipe from their nests in her body, and he felt the hot, sticky blood all over his mouth, and he knew.Before he had time to process this information, Tillian instinctively felt for his shoulder, somehow knowing what he would find. Sure enough, there it was.The Mark of Lust had found a new plaything.IC: Reordin (Pala-Koro)Reordin shrugged."A fair enough assessment. Now, will you just do me the favor and hold on to those for me?"-Teezy

IC: SKrihen"Well, I'll be off. As per our agreement, your secret is safe with me." Skrihen smiled shyly. "G-good luck on the raid, Mr. Reordin."With that done, the Mark Bearer moved back to Volin, her false persona already in place. "I'm back Volin..."

IC: Emotia - Crimson Nova Outpost, Le-koro -Emotia had finally got up to the roof where she saw Tillian get taken away. What she found nearly put her in shock, the dead Succubus lying before them. Then she looked at Tillian's shoulder and gasped. "How..." She was at a loss for words.

IC: Tillian (Crimson Nova Outpost, Le-Koro)"Get away from me!" he screamed desperately, trying to get away from Emotia before he hurt her. "I...I don't know what happened, babe...I was headed back inside and she just attacked me...everything's just blank...she was just dead..."-Teezy

IC: Emotia - Crimson Nova Outpost, Le-koro -Emotia hesitated to move toward Tillian, from what it looked like, he'd literally bitten into her neck and killed her. "Tillian...honey, you won't hurt me. I don't think you could. Just...calm down and will figure this out."

IC: Tillian (Crimson Nova Outpost, Le-Koro)Tillian closed his eyes and nodded, absentmindedly flinging Succubus's corpse over the edge of the building and into the trees."Yeah," he said, moving towards her carefully. "Yeah. Of course we will. I just...just need a second..."-Teezy

IC: Emotia - Crimson Nova Outpost, Le-koro -Emotia moved toward Tillian as well, seeing that he was wounded in the side. "You're hurt..." She knelt down, planning on using her elemental power to try to heal it.

IC: Tillian (Crimson Nova Outpost, Le-Koro)Tillian nodded weakly, still careful to stare directly into Emotia's eyes. He couldn't help but smile a bit and laugh as he caught sight of her necklace."Did you know Jaron was gonna put that diamond into a sword?" he asked, mainly to distract himself. "He thought it'd look cooler in a weapon than it would around your neck."-Teezy

IC: Emotia - Crimson Nova Outpost, Le-koro -"Jaron has a terrible sense of fashion." she said with a grin. Water began to form around his wound and cleanse it.
