BZPRPG: Ta-Wahi

IC: JikalJikal was hugging Kitsune when he saw Raion, quickly released Kitsune, and jumped back. Instinctively, his Mark activated, causing it and his eyes to glow poison green. He held his hands up as if to say I'm unarmed! I don't want any trouble! But from Raion's perspective, it probably made him look hostile.

OOC: *Watches the cheesy fireworks in awe* THERE ALL CHEDDAR!!! IC: EmotiaEmotia's eyes seemed to light up. "B-because of...meeting me?" She asked, part of her wishing her subconscious would cut it out. She was blushing quite a bit, but she didn't hide with the pillow this time, she wanted to make sure she heard his answer.

IC: TillianThe young Toa of Gravity grinned."Well, it's not like I came for the climate," he said, laughing and trying not to blush even more than he already was.-Teezy

IC: Kitsune & Raion, Ta-KoroKitsune saw Raion the moment Jikal did, and she was equally stunned. "Raion, don't... Everything is okay..." She said quietly, attempting to calm her brother.Raion breathed slowly, his eyes going from Jikal to Kitsune, than back to Jikal. "Explain. Now." He commanded.

IC: EmotiaEmotia couldn't help but laugh as well. "You...you should probably go see what Jaron wants now...and thanks for telling me that...it...means a lot." She said, smiling, not caring how much she was blushing at this point, it wasn't like it was a secret to anyone anymore.

IC: Tillian"Who? Oh, uh, yeah," Tillian said, grinning and walking out the open door with Jaron. Leaning against the wall of the Lavapool Inn, he sighed as the hot morning sun hit his face."What's up?" said the commander of the Po-Koro Guard.-Teezy

IC: JikalJikal still looked worried. "Explain what? I can't explain if I don't know what you want me to explain!"

IC: ReaverShe peeked above her legs to see Emotia practically flirting with Tillian. Still under the influence of the medicine, she slammed her fist on the table and yelled 'I REALLY hate when you two flirt! It makes me feel really lonely.' Realising what she said, she curled back up and cursed herself.

OOC: Jaron will make this awkward. Not in this post, but a subsequent one. Be prepared for it. IC-Jaron:"Well, Tillian, it looks like you're having a good time today," Jaron said simply to the gravity toa. "Why, it looks as though our little 'love shack' is still working it's magic, eh?" He laughed, thinking back on what had happened the previous day. He tried to take a deep breath, but fell into coughing again."So," he asked his new friend, "I wonder what exactly it was you did to Emotia. You didn't use the Bula Juice, did you?" Jaron laughed at Tillian's blush, figuring out the answer without his friend speaking. He reached into his pack, pulling out the little diamond he had found. "I've been wondering what to do with this for a while," he said to himself. "I debated whether or not to sell it, or to try and use it in the pommel of a sword." He smiled."I might have found a use for it, though," he said. He looked over at Tillian, smiling. "So, guardsman, what are you plans now?" He asked, clenching his fist around the diamond.

OOC: @Kal - Woah...hold on there now...it's only a crush between them right now! Save the diamond for...like...a year from now! Maybe more! IC: EmotiaEmotia felt pity for Reaver, the poor girl felt alone, with all her memories gone. "Come here...I think you need a hug." Emotia said, in case Reaver decided she needed one.

OOC: I'm trying to make it awkward, shut up. IC-Jaron:Jaron opened his fist again, looking at the diamond interestedly. "Yes," he said to himself, "I know what to do with this now." He grabbed Tillian's hand, pulling it out towards him, and dropped the diamond into it. He looked the Toa of Gravity in the eyes. "You'll know when you need to use it," he said, winking at the Toa of Gravity, and walked back in.

IC: Tillian (Lavapool Inn, Ta-Koro)Tillian's brain was trying to crawl out of his ear as he stared at the diamond. The thing looked monstrous in his hand."I, uh...thanks?" he whispered to the now-departed Jaron before pocketing the diamond and walking back inside.-Teezy

IC: The young being closed his notebook after having catalogued the Muaka fang from Ko-Wahi. Gyren exited his room and brushed off his duster. Without a word, he floated out the door and out into the streets of Ta-Koro.OOC: Open for interaction.

IC: EmotiaEmotia saw Tillian coming back in, Reaver hadn't moved, so she took that has a decline of her offer. "So, what was Jaron so eager to talk to you about out there anyway?" Emotia asked curiously.

IC-Jaron:"Nothing you need to worry about," Jaron said, answering for Tillian. He winked at the Toa of gravity, and then sat down in a chair he had carried in. "So, how have all of you been while I was gone?" He asked, seemingly oblivious to what was going on.

IC: Raion & Kitsune, Ta-KoroRaion's temper was rising. "EXPLAIN WHY YOU ARE WITH MY SISTER!" He roared, revealing the fact that Kitsune was his sister, not his friend."Raion! Keep your temper!" Kitsune said as she placed her hands on her hips in a dissaproving pose.

IC: Tillian (Lavapool Inn, Ta-Koro)"Yeah, it was nothing," said Tillian with a shrug. "He had a question about whether there would be any residual damage to his breathing from his wounds."He grinned at Jaron, both for the purposes of keeping the story intact and soothing the unspoken fears of the Toa of Fire."Your breathing will be fine, by the way."-Teezy

IC-Jaron:"Assuming I ever stop coughing," Jaron said, starting to laugh. However, as before, the laugh degenerated into a wet cough. He doubled over in pain, trying to catch his breath, and looked up again. His lung was burning, pain he understood well, but not pain he really wanted. It was agonizing.He sat back up, and looked at the others. "Sorry about that," he said, "But I can't really help it." He stretched his arms, and looked up at the others. "So, I have a proposition for the three of you. Would you like to join the little team that Skyra and I have?" He smiled, looking over all of them. "It would be quite a bit of fun, you know," he added.

IC: EmotiaEmotia shook her head. "Uh, I would actually...except I was already offered to join Dail's little group she's got going, I'm gonna be heading there as soon as I'm able to. Sorry."

IC-Jaron:"Well," Jaron said, "After what Skyra said to Dail, I'm going to be going there too. So, my offer still stands. Would you like to join our little team?" He looked over at Tillian, smiling. "The offer stands for you as well," he said to the Toa of Gravity, "Though for a much different reason."

IC: Tillian (Lavapool Inn, Ta-Koro)Tillian shrugged."I also agreed that I would join the Song," he said.-Teezy

OOC: Yeah, MB time! :DIC, Agzinel: Agzinel sat alone in his room at the Lavapool Inn. He had been sitting there for the past two days, trying to remember what had happened... Two days ago, he awoke from a six-month coma , however, instead of being in a hospital, he was in the Lavapool Inn, since the hospital he was originally in was destroyed. When he awoke, however, there was a strange Mark on his left shoulder. What it was for, he didn't know. He didn't remember it being there before, so he was still guessing. It often glowed pink, and when it first did, a word popped into his head.AffectionHe didn't know what this meant, but he knew it might be important. Since it was glowing right now, he stood up and walked out. He followed to where his Mark wanted him to go. As soon as he reached the room where he felt the strongest pull, he slowly opened the door...OOC: Tyler, Snelly, Kal: I'm interacting with you guys.

IC: "I might at least see what the Song's goals are," said Knidia, who had been sitting quietly in a corner so nobody made her drink the truth serum. Wacky antics were the domain of schoolchildren, not her, "And how they aim to achieve them."

OOC: I'd like to point out that Skyra won't approve of Jaron trying to invite people to the 'team' without asking him. Actually...there really isn't any real 'team' per se, it's more of a bunch of friends that came together, it's not really an organized team at all, so inviting people to it is pointless anyway. It's also pointless because there all gonna end up joining the Song anyway. IC: Emotia"Well, if Skyra and yourself are going to be joining the Song, I don't see the point in forming a 'team', but we can travel to Dail's place together I guess." Emotia noticed a new person entering the room, but she didn't pay too much attention to it.

IC: Tillian (Lavapool Inn, Ta-Koro)Tillian nodded at the newcomer but said nothing, preferring instead to lean back in his chair and listen to the conversation at hand.-Teezy

OOC: I don't really want Onuzek joining an organizatioin, but I wouldn't mind if he was loosely affiliated with one. IC: Onuzek"What 'Song'?" he asked, confused as usual.

IC, Agzinel: "...Excuse me..." Agzinel began, "...I felt... something... coming from this room, and I came to investigate.."

IC-Jaron:"Well," Jaron said, "A team might not be pointless. After all, how many organizations are going to have you just run off on your own to do something? They generally have small work groups with them." He smiled as the sleeping Nikila set her head on his shoulder, trying his best not to laugh. He looked at the stranger who just walked in."Well, well, well," he said happily, "What do you know, another man-with-a-mark!" He exclaimed, grabbing a chair from the corner. "Sit down, lad, we won't bite. What's your name?" He asked the newly arrived Toa.

IC: Tillian (Lavapool Inn, Ta-Koro)"What kind of...something?" Tillian asked, eyebrows raised at the Mark on the being's shoulder. "Nothing too X-Files worthy, I hope."OOC: Oh Tillian with your oddly human pop-culture references.-Teezy

IC: JikalJikal was fighting to keep Iris under control, and it showed slightly. Namely, in a bit of eye twitching. "I'm not allowed to talk with a friend?"

IC: Tarotrix entered the barracks quite exausted. Slipping off his armor, he collapsed into the cot.

IC: Tillian (Lavapool Inn, Ta-Koro)Before he could get a response from the new Mark Bearer, the Dikapi from earlier came up, pecking at him enthusiastically. Tillian raised an eyebrow."What do you want?" he asked the messenger bird. His only answer was another cheerful chirp. Tillian sighed and pulled out the letter, scribbling a quick reply on it.Naona,Thanks for all your hard work. I know that this wasn't the most...planned out set of circumstances, but know that I'm going to try and get back to repairs as soon as I can. Ta-Koro's in chaos right now, and we're still trying to help the injured. Stay the course. You're the greatest.All my best,Tillian.P.S. It's just Tillian.Tying the message to the Dikapi's leg, he grinned as it cheerfully ran down the stairs and to Po-Wahi.-Teezy

IC: Raion & Kitsune, Ta-KoroRaion was about to speak when Kitsune cut him off with fierceness that Jikal had never seen from her."Raion, be quiet! I can be friends with whoever I want, and if you don't like it, fine! Just leave me alone!" She shouted at him, making his eyes widen in suprise."B-But you and him were-" He started, attempting to show his reason."Hugging, Raion. Is hugging a friend against your liking?" She asked.Raion stared at them for a long time, anger, confusion and something much darker flashed in his eyes.

IC, Agzinel: "I'm Agzinel," he said. "I literally woke up two days ago with no idea what happened for the past six months... and I woke up with this," he continued, gesturing to his Mark. "I believe it has something to do with Affection, since when the first time it glowed, that word popped into my head- Affection... I could feel lots of it coming from this room, so I came to investigate."

IC: Tillian (Lavapool Inn, Ta-Koro)"Oh, uh...okay," he said, trying hard not to blush. He couldn't tell if he were succeeding or not.-Teezy

IC: JikalJikal was losing the battle as he observed the proceedings with wide eyes.

IC: Kitsune & Raion, Ta-KoroRaion started walking out the door again, only stopping to speak to Jikal. "If you hurt her, you will regret it." He said in a voice worthy of doomsday.Kitsune stared at him in anger as he walked out of the shop, forgetting Jikal momentarily.

IC: Tillian (Lavapool Inn, Ta-Koro)After a moment's awkward silence, a Ta-Matoran knocked on the door."Commander Juturna? Package for you."With a shrug, the Ta-Matoran threw a parcel at Tillian, who caught it deftly in one hand and ripped it open. Slowly, a grin came over his face."Clothes from Ga-Koro. I'd almost forgotten...."He looked down at himself and was horrorstruck by what he saw: he was still wearing his work clothes from Po-Koro, which were now covered in blood, dust, and volcanic ash. Even his new shirt was stained beyond belief."I gotta get changed if we're going home," he said, walking out the door. "Be right back."-Teezy

IC: EmotiaEmotia looked at Agzinel, "A mark bearer that feeds on affection..." She sighed as Tillian left the room, she lay back down on her bed instead of sitting up, feeling rather embarrassed that nearly everyone in the room knew that she and Tillian had a thing for each other, the whole island might as well know at this point. "You know...I'm starting really wonder more and more what is the cause of all these marks...they seem to be everywhere. I hope we find answers to those questions soon..."

IC: Tillian (Lavapool Inn, Ta-Koro)Tillian closed the door to his room at Lavapool and sighed, staring in the mirror. His clothes looked terrible from all the work he had been doing. Shrugging, he threw all the clothes onto the bed and grinned ferociously at what he saw. Skinny jeans, socks, slip-ons, v-neck, and his lapis lazuli necklace. After changing into his new, far more comfortable and clean jeans, Tillian pushed the shirt off his body and stared at his cracked rib with a grimace: it was starting to bruise. Sighing, he pulled the shirt onto his body and donned the necklace. The blue stone twinkled in the morning sun, landing on the part of Tillian's chest exposed by the v-neck and sitting there softly and coolly, giving him well-deserved relief. Leaving his clothes in a dirty pile, he put on his socks and slip-on shoes and walked back into the room, looking every bit like a Ga-Koro surf rat/model instead of a Rahkshi killer, doctor, and all-around hero that everyone thought he was."Miss anything?" he said idly.-Teezy
