BZPRPG: Ko-Wahi

IC: ZealokanHe closed his eyes, his Mask glowing slightly. 'All I can get from this bloody thing so far is aerial reconnaissance, but I'm still recovering from the last time, so that's off the list.' He opened his eyes, looking to Dekuna. 'I can keep at it, but it's gonna take a while, we might have to ask around until I can come up with something.'

IC: [iegasa]"Tell me Noira, what do you truly think of me?"

IC: Noira:"You are a good master," Noira admitted, "You do not treat me as worse than the others I have served."

IC: [iegasa]"Thank you Noira."

IC: Noira:She bowed, then resumed to wait for more orders.

IC: [iegasa]"Treat yourself to some tea my dear. It is your craft after all."

IC: Noira:The slave nodded, and poured herself a cup, sipping it every so-now-and-then.

IC: Janas (entering Ko-Koro)"I've never felt so cold! I hope I can find somewhere to stay soon." he muttered.

IC (Dekuna): "Allright" Dekuna nodded. "He's too far away for us to see from anywhere but Mount Ihu with an akaku, and we have no way of determining which way he went. If we can't use any knowledge from the crime scene, we'll have to rely on knowledge of the criminal. I think we should go and talk to Havon. Like I saud, the two of them were once very close, so he might be able to shed some light on where Xxeth probably went. It would be good to get the Hau Karda back together, and Zealokan could make good on his bet."

IC: ZealokanHe lightly punched Dekuna in the arm, grinning stupidly. 'Darn, I was hoping you'd forgotten about that.' He stood up. 'Right then! Do we have any idea where Havon is?'

IC: Esao (Hilltop, Ko-Wahi)"Sounds good. Kray, take point," replied Esao, popping up a couple feet behind Amalod. "Boo."-Teezy

Amalod jumps before turning to face Esao. "Is that...all you use your mask for?"-Mef Man

IC: Esao (Hilltop, Ko-Wahi)"Well...sometimes, I stop bad guys," he said, winking at her.-Teezy

OOC: Vielah Nuvay and group from Po-Wahi.

"Oh, that's right, I almost forgot," she says jokingly. "You do save a few lives and stop a few enemies. That's good," the Toa adds with a smile. "Are you ready to sleep as much as I am?" she asks Esao; being exhausted herself from the long day.

The Ussul cart rolls over the border into Ko-Wahi; the cold air slowly meeting the group as they continue to ride."Just a few more miles and we'll be in Ko-Koro," states the female Toa of Fire.-Mef Man

IC: Plagia Simul - ?, Ko-WahiI quickened my pace, managing to reach Reordin and... I think his name was Alexin or something. Anyway, I found them walking, when I tapped Alexin on the shoulder."Hey," I said, not even waiting for him to regard me, "You're part of the Sanctum Guard, aren't you?"-Void

IC: Esao (Hilltop, Ko-Wahi)"Well, I'm always ready to sleep," he replied. "It just depends on if I'm able to. When I was a kid, my uncle used to wake me up at random intervals to show what it was like to have to run a corporation; he wanted to prove it was a 24/7 kind of thing, so to make his point, he'd never let me sleep more than three or four hours a night. I've kind of started to move past the need for constant sleep, but...frankly, I still love it."He gave a little grin and sighed, as if he was embarrassed at his lack of basic sentient needs."I feel kind of lazy admitting that.."-Teezy

"We all need a good night's sleep," the Toa states. "I don't think it's a bad habit to sleep atleast eight hours or so. It leaves you refreshed in the morning," Amalod adds as they continue to descend the slope.-Mef Man

OOC: I've spent this time waiting for you to post, only to realize I needed to. *facepalm*IC: KrianKrian used the long leap power of his mask to jump out of the way. He landed in a ready position, on guard for Kai's next move.

IC: Esao (Hilltop, Ko-Wahi)"Oh, yes," he murmured. "You and my uncle would've gotten along swimmingly. He never liked it when people tried to convince me that human activities were okay. I didn't first talk to a girl until five, ten years ago..."-Teezy

ICVerak was huddling in his coat. The treacherous, winding and bumpy road they had taken from Po-Wahi was not over, and the temperature, which, according to Verak, should have leveled off a few hours ago, was still dropping. The snow was getting thicker and less wet, and the it was also affecting he Ussals. The cart jolted, and Verak gripped the sides, for a half second worrying the whole cart would slide backwards and slide take a fall. If that happened, it would be a long way down. But nothing happened and the cart continued. Verak relaxed his body, although remained a bit tense. It wasn't just the cold or possibility of rolling back down the mountainside, but half conceived notions of what would happen if the guard got hold of him. He scolded himself. He had been if far worse positions than he was now. The guard was nothing compared to some psychos he had had to face. But still, Verak remained worried.Verak looked at Vielah, who's red hues were looking particularly striking against the background of black and white."Just a few more miles and we'll be in Ko-Koro." she said."Wonderful." he replied, still keeping a cheery tone despite his discomfort. "I'll be able to stretch again. I've always preferred walkin' to ridin', y'know?"

"You don't seem like the shy type," Amalod says more to herself after listening to Esao talk. "And, this uncle, whatever happened to him?"

"Yeah, but we can get out of this blasted cold faster while riding," she says before beckoning for the Toa to sit beside her in the back of the cart. "It'll be warmer if we sit closer to each other," Vielah says with a mischievous grin.-Mef Man

IC: Velan:"And here I was thinking I was one one driving," Velan complained.

IC: Esao (Hilltop, Ko-Wahi)"He died, too," said Esao, his smile fading and his purple irises darkening to an almost-black color. "Assassin got him during a hospital visit a couple years back. Granddad died soon after and I've been on my own since."-Teezy

OOC: Tyler, I just realized the connection between Esao's backstory and Psycho.IC: Krayzikk"Sorry to hear that, Esao." Krayzikk said, walking behind the duo.

"You've had a rough life, haven't you?" she asks Esao; her smile now completely gone. The Toa of Water was greatly concerned for the being's happiness. He had been through too much and she wanted to help him return to a happy, normal-somewhat atleast-life.

"You are now," she says while beckoning for Verak to sit with her.-Mef Man

IC: Esao (Hilltop, Ko-Wahi)"I've learned to manage," he replied quietly. "I don't really like whining about it too much. I was taught that it was a show of weakness."-Teezy

IC: Krayzikk"Well, at least they didn't disown you. That's something." Krayzikk shrugged.

"But, don't ever feel like you can't talk to someone about your problems," she says in a quieter tone. "If you, uh, ever need anyone to talk to, I'll be here. Okay?"I hope that didn't sound weird...-Mef Man

[iC: Rannin]"Bruntoa, what now?"

IC"Mm." Verak muttered, crawling over the bench into the back of the caravan. He sat against the back wall, leaning against Vielah. The cart bounced over a few more rocks, sending snow into the air."Would ye mind tellin' us what sort of contact we're meetin' here?" he asked Vielah.

IC: Esao (Hilltop, Ko-Wahi)"Yeah, I know," he said, trying to smile again and coming up short. "Um, should I run point? I can, uh...light the way, and this was really fun and I don't want to be a mood downer, so I should just...go up front...lead the way..."-Teezy

"Whatever you want, Esao," she replies; not sure to tell him to stay or go. But, the Toa knew that Esao would do whatever he felt like he needed to fulfill.

"He's an old Turaga," she says while placing her right arm around Verak in an embrace. "Knows a bit about everyone. He should be of plenty use to us if we're going to find Jade." Jade. The name always managed to make the Toa of Fire's look change drasticlly to something of pure hate. Jade was the one who caused her so much misery. The one who halted her progression as a proper warrior. And Jade was the one who would pay for it. With her life.-Mef Man

IC: Velan:Velan focused more on keeping the Ussuls on-track than their conversation, but Velan payed some attention to them. Of the many reasons she stayed away from men, and women.

IC: Esao (Hilltop, Ko-Wahi)"Alright, well...I'm gonna do that," he said, obviously trying to keep a straight face as he walked forward. Just as he reached the front of the group, he activated his Volitak with a sound that could have been either a cough or a dry sob.-Teezy

IC"Ah! Jade's her name, then." Verak observed. "Knowin' things like that are useful if yer lookin' for someone, sister. Vielah." he corrected.

"Well, Krayzikk, want to tell me more about yourself?" she asks the titan; anticipating a nice conversation with the being. If she was going to be part of the group, she wanted to learn more about everyone.

"Indeed they are," Vielah replies. "But, business can wait," she says while edging closer toward Verak. Talking in a lower tone, Vielah asks,"Why didn't you want to come here? I find a ride in the snow a bit...romantic," the Toa adds, placing her left hand on his right.-Mef Man

IC: Velan:The Toa of water yawned, "Next time you two decide to talk about that, make sure you don't talk about it directly behind my back. Or include me."She grimaced as a snow-storm seemed to hit the cart, however, the snow didn't stick, and there wasn't any wind...

IC: Krayzikk"What would you like to know?"

"Oh, how about how you joined the group," she says. "But, if I ask anything too...uncomfortable, just tell me to shut up," the Toa adds; not wanting to surface any bad memories from the titan.-Mef Man

ICSnow began to lightly coat Velan and the cart over Verak and Veirah's head. "I'll make sure not to, sister." he told Velan, before turning to Vielah and answered her question. "I had some trouble with the guard, darlin'. I'm not in a big hurry to return into the clutches of the law." He smiled slightly. "Same applies to Ga-Koro, too. I'm a bit of a criminal in certain parts of the island."
