BZPRPG: Le-Wahi

IC: Kethrye -"A the moment? Not really anything," Kethryre said, rolling his eyes at the Toa of Magnetism. "Oh, you'd better tell us you name, forgot that part. It's hard enough keeping track of everyone popping up and asking to join as it is."

IC: Vorex"My name is Vorex. Other details you might want to know are that I do not have a criminal record, that my elemental power is Magnetism, and that I have a Mask of Psychometry."

IC: Kethrye - "Psychometry? Might want to go and speak with Madrihk, them, your powers might he usefully in solving a mystery that popped up after the battle with the nui-rama," Kethryre said, folding his hand together. "Will that be all?"

IC: Vorex"Yes, it will. And Madrihk is over there, right?" Vorex gestured in Madrihk's general location.

IC: Song"Me? Well, I have a reputation as being a knife nut. I have been called a sadistic psychopath." She shrugged. "Mostly by my enemies. For a long time, I ran a small school in Ta-Koro. I had a high success rate, though my methods weren't exactly 'normal'."

IC-Aclaraung:"Fighting school, I assume," Aclaraung said. "Most of what I did involved running through the jungles, hunting various rahi. Or fishing. Then, when the Matoran did come, I ended up having to protect one of them-his name was Joske, if I remember right."OOC: The funny part is, Tuck ended up describing that much more than did I. xD

IC: Song"Primarily fighting, but I did academics as well." Song commented, and then grinned. "Ah, Joske. Kolhii player for the Ta-Koro team."

IC: Madrihk

IC: Alfon"Hold your horses, I'm just messing with you." Alfon said, waving a hand dismissively since Madrihk showed up. He'd leave the others with Kethrye to deal with."Nothing really, I'm pretty sure Kethrye's got things under control. However, that's not important right now. What is important though is the fact that you came to check up on little ol' me with my broken arm. How sweet! Wanna sign it?" he joked. Hopefully Madrihk would have gotten used to his antics by now. Then came the trio of battered Toa, the black one arriving first."Yep, headquarters of your local Makuta spawn exterminators and band of jack of all trades. Few whackos here and there but you get used to 'em. So welcome! Any questions or something I can help you with? Medical aid, maybe...?"

IC: Kodu"Okay." he said. He then walked up to Madrihk, and said "We are interested in joining."

IC: VorexVorex noticed Madrihk introducing himself, and walked over. "I was told that I could be of use. Something to do with 'a mystery that popped up after the battle with the Nui-Rama'."

IC: Alfon"Thanks for your concern, I'll see if he can help with my broken arm. About time we got a proper doctor, mask of healing or not." Alfon said, feeling a sudden itch on his broken arm. He refused to scratch for fear of pain."Nice digits, though. That's some pretty fancy work, like you said. I trust he's cleaned up any infection at the ends? Wouldn't want you to be left with one hand and the title of Captain Hook. You'd have your hand full with that (see what I did there?).""Speaking of which, you need a break. Always working, asking questions, answering them, writing papers, blah blah blah and so forth. I say you and us deputies have a drink when we're free."OOC: Preferably when my vacation's over. This isn't something you can turn down Katuko

OOC: Like Lorax said a while back, let's wrap this pillow fight up.IC: Payiges'Alright, guys, let's call it a day. I think we can all agree that I won,' she said proudly, pointing to herself, 'Seeing as I walloped all of you.'IC: Zealokan'Oi oi,' He said, standing up and swiping pillow feathers off himself. 'You didn't get all of us.' A pillow to the face, curtesy of Payiges, soon changed that.A muffled 'Okay, NOW you got all of us.' emerged for behind the pillow.

IC: (Uar)"Now that this is over, I still say we investigate this "hidden lines" business..." Uar said, thankful that this madness was finally over.

IC: Madrihk

IC: Alfon

IC: Vorex

IC: Vorex"I'm Vorex. I used to be an archaeologist. Heard about the Rama Hive attack, and thought it was brilliant that some people were finally standing up to Makuta, and doing it properly. So I thought I'd visit."

IC: Kodu"I'm Kodu."

OOC: Okay, HOW MANY characters are around DJ, Mariko, and Atvin right now? I have NO IDEA... Oh dear...IC: Draeverian JoskiirThe trip had been rushed, and at one point Draeverian has heard the faintest sounds of the ko-matoran sentinel's shells ringing across the snowy cliffs. Just great, He had thought, Now I've made myself an outlaw to the only place I want to save. The powder crushed and melted into bog at the base of the mountains, the grand jungle spreading outwards in all directions as a mass map of cawing and chirping, bellowing and grunting. Images swam before Draeverian's eyes, glad to seek refuge in the mind of a blind convict. From guess work alone, Draeverian followed Atvin's jaunting frame through the swamp-filled underbrush, whisking through the reeds with Mariko just in front. Draeverian was bringing up the rear. Despite his mask of fate, he had received a powerful dosage of pain from the avalanche, and the mental stabs of psycho-emotional terror from his battered partner Rivet was enough to make him lose his footing on occasion, plopping face-first into murk. By the time the trio met Alfon, an unknown toa with a quirky voice and bad quips, at the gates of Pala-koro Draeverain looked more like a toa of mud than anything, his purple trimmed armor of silver now saturated in jungle grime.I thought this was going to be easier, Rivet. Draeverian grumbled inwardly, hoping for some remorse on the part of his smarting compatriot turned antagonist. In the last four months I've cheated death too many times, killed more matoran than I can count against my will, and what for it? What duty have I garnered by being a failure?Yup. You suck, Drae."Some medical aid, maybe?" Alfon offered somewhat coyly, to Mariko, who had done an excellent job at a horrible first meeting as Draeverian sidled up next to the toa of earth, smelling very much of Mariko's fouler forms of control."A bath and a forge would be nice," Draeverian said, a sputtering of filth flying from his lips without his notice as it plastered itself against the side of Alfon's mask, leaving a brown streak on an otherwise spotless surface.

IC: Lerongu walked away from Madrihk, into the village.

IC: Song"Primarily fighting, but I did academics as well." Song commented, and then grinned. "Ah, Joske. Kolhii player for the Ta-Koro team."

IC: Song"Actually, yes."

IC-Aclaraung:Aclaraung nodded, then he dove his head underwater quickly, shaking Song off as he caught a fish. He then looked over, seeing the drenched Toa of Lightning."Sorry about that."

IC: Song"I've been worse." Song commented, wiping water out of her eyes.

OOC:I'm thinking that with all the people coming through, Pala-Koro needs some more huts, an inn, and maybe a harbor (see that little inlet near Lake Pala on Katuko's map? The only inconvience is the mountain terrain nearby, but some "terra-forming" by a Toa of Earth could dig us a tunnel or create a small pass. Nuju really picked a bad time to leave, seeing as all the mysteries and the Turaga rehabilitation depend upon him, so this is one thing we can actually work on a lot.IC: Cy watched Vorok start levitating a tree out of the ground. It was all too clear that he was getting bored. Striding up to Kethrye, he said, "Hey, Kethrye, I'm thinking that with this influx of people to Pala-Koro, that it might be a good idea to expand our buildings. We seem a little short on huts in my opinion, and an inn might be a good idea for us to house travelers. A harbor would also be good for trade, so if we can build one in short distance from the Koro, it could really help the ILS grow it's resources enough to defeat Makuta. Do you think I should get some Toa started?"

IC-Aclaraung:"Hmph. Well, Song, have you ever been flying on something larger than a Gukko?"

IC: Song"No, why?"

IC-Aclaraung:"Well, get on. I'd much prefer to continue this discussion someplace where others can't hear us," Aclaraung growled.

IC: SongSong hesitated. She didn't exactly trust this being... "Alright." Song said, climbing back onto Aclaraung's back.

IC-Aclaraung:"Good," Aclaraung said. He strained to lift himself up, the water pulling at him and Song on his back adding together, but he managed to get up to where he could glide to a small islet, a bit west of the ship, but not a part of Kumu.He came down, Song hopping off as he curled up in true reptillian fashion."So, Song. A teacher turned pirate. I wonder how that happened."

Aparangi pushed a low-hanging leaf out of his way as he moved along a narrow path leading through the thick Le-Wahi jungle. The Toa was eager to get to the village of air; yet he forced himself to move slowly. There was a difference between hurrying to get somewhere faster and plainly being reckless and running into something he was not prepared for. Who knew what Rahi lived in these jungles. According to the tales he had overheard during his brief stay from the Matoran there, mainy of the beasts were tainted by the shadows. So he moved slowly, until he would find Pala-Koro.

IC: Kodu"I'm Kodu."

IC: Song"Long story short, I got bored."

IC: Kethrye -

IC: "T-Tawara?.. It's just my neighbor..." Gyren shouted weakily as the Matoran hid in the treetops. The young Toa seemed eeriely pale as he stood up and slowly pulled up the rope ladder and concealled the backdoor with two large leaves. Gyren looked to be in pain as he walked past his collection of Rahi skulls. He sighed and collapsed onto his small bed in another room of the hut. The Ba-Toa turned and laid on his back. The small creature that had latched on to the back of his neck seemed to throb and grow bigger."At least you already paid me for this." Rilan muttered as he inspected the blade of one of his machetes. Satisfied with the sharpness, Rilan sheathed his blade and sat down in a crude, wooden chair. The Ta-Toa had a small frown on his face as he waited for Gyren's guest to enter.

IC: Kethrye -Kethryre nodded his head in agreement with Cy's plan. "Good idea, round up any Stone or Earth Toa and get on it ". More buildings were certainly needed, and a dock would ease travel between Pala-Kora and elsewhere while also providing a place to store the boats the group had used previously. "Vompran or one of the other Toa of Jungle could also help provide wood for construction ".Signing, he trying to formulate and answer that would satisfy Zyke. "Kiloling things is not our primary goal, and there really isn't anything for you to do along those lines right now. However, if you really feel the need to help, you could give Cy here a hand expanding the settlement. That's a order, actually ". He switched his gaze to two more new arrivals conversing with Alfon. One appeared to be completely covered in mud from a trek through Le-Wahi's swampy jungle. "Er- you people need anything?"

IC: ZykeZyke snorted in disapproval, but he decided to go along with it. After all, he had just joined the ILS. He approached Cy and asked,"What can I do to help?"

IC: Optimus simply left Madrihk, and walked into the center of Pala-Koro. He gave a loud yell that would attract the attention of everyone. Following that, he pulled out his Blast Rod. "I am Optimus Prime, leader of the Aukati, and I bring you this message." He proceeded to open fire on everyone in the area at least once.OOC: And so it begins.

"A drink sounds nice," Ledzel says to Alfon as he watches Madrihk. "Karz, I can't tell if I like it being so busy or if I miss the old days when we were hippies in the jungle without a clue of what to do..."-Mef Man

OOC: Mef, you've been fired on. Like everyone else in the entire area.IC: Optimus continued firing, without a word.

IC: ZykeThankfully, Zyke was one of the lasts one to be fired on and thus had time to dive to the ground."What the karz!?" he shouted in confusion. This "Optimus Prime" had picked the wrong place to commit a mass murder. As the Skakdi picked himself off of the ground, he fired a metal spike at the Aukati leader.

OOC: Thought so... And, may I add that what he's doing is completely stupid? Or, do you all ready know that...

Looks like the drink is going to have to wait.Ledzel rolls his eyes as he runs straight into the lake; activating his Mask to breathe underwater. He would soon flank the idiotic being and attack him from behind while the others kept him busy.-Mef Man

OOC: I do realize that fully. I'm keeping the reason secret until I reveal it IC for maximum realistic RP and no chance of metagaming or fourth wall breaking.IC: Optimus pulled out his shield and blocked the spike. "Karz the what." He then proceeded to set the trees around the base on fire, in hopes of arson. "I am a Prime. I do not take orders from you."

OOC: Okay; your funeral.

Unbeknowest to the one called Optimus Prime, Ledzel had sneaked up behind him. Through his wild yells and attacks, there was no way he could've have heard or seen the Po-Toa coming.With a sword around the throat of the being, Ledzel barks,"Shut up and give up, Brakas!"OOC: This may seem unfair, but with the reasons given, it's not impossible at all for this to happen.-Mef Man
