BZPRPG: Ta-Wahi

IC: "He should be at his office right now," Taro said. "Follow me."

IC: Tawara, Ta-Ga Border"Didn't Ta-Koro have doctors, though? And it's only a few hours away." Addressing Jikal, Tawara added, "You do realize you've -- I mean, Iris 'as -- started a fire that will wipe out most of that forest, right?"

IC: Raion, Ta / Ga Border"Then it's decided. We go to Ta-Koro and find a doctor." Raion said as he began to make himself taller every second with his mask of Growth. "Shall I carry him?"

IC: Jikal"I'm aware, Tawara." Jikal responded coldly. "Nothing I can do about what I've done, now."

IC: Tawara, Ta-Ga Border"Yep," said Tawara to Jikal. "Thanks, Raion. Let's go." She piled what remained of the Mahi and vegetables into her sack, and began walking southward.

IC: Raion & Kitsune, Ta / Ga BorderKitsune ended the akwardly-long hug by letting go to gather her things.Raion grunted in recongiziton when Tawara spoke. He was focusing on his mask, growing to maxium height. With his size, he could carry all of them if they wanted. "Anyone up for a free ride?" He asked as he leaned down, massive hand outstretched.

OOC: Uh, Darkon, you said "when Alaka spoke." Might want to change that.IC: Tawara, Ta-Ga Border"Sure," said Tawara and climbed up onto the enlarged Toa's shoulder. "Oh, karzit -- just realized I forgot to get water today. Well, it's too late now. We've gotta move."

OOC: Oops. XD The infamous plauge of mistaking a player as their character has struck once more.IC: Raion & Kitsune, Ta-KoroRaion turned his massive head towards Kitsune in a questioning stare."I'll do what ever Jikal does." She said politely.

IC: Jikal"I'll walk, thank you Raion." Jikal's voice contained a cold edge.

IC: Raion & Kitsune, Ta-KoroRaion growled in respose. "Suit yourself." He said as he began to walk.Kitsune quietly walked next to Jikal, not uttering a word.OOC: Have any of you noticed the RPG idea I posted in Planning topic?

OOC: I saw it. If you absolutely wanted to make sure it got a review, I'd recommend placing a request with the critics club. Requests are closed right now, but they should open up soon.IC: JikalJikal made a rude gesture at Raion behind his back.

IC: Tawara, Ta-WahiThe flames had spread yet farther, and even at the edges of the Forest the trees were alight. Rahi fled onto the beach, confused and frightened, Infernavika and Hikaki gliding out of the trees and Mahi and Husi scampering from the bushes. The beach was safe with no trees to burn, but the woods had become an inferno. It seemed that the Forest would once again become Charred as it had been in ancient times.Tawara watched angrily as the fire consumed the trees. OOC: Right, I know that the official description page here says the Forest is still the Charred Forest, but seriously, more plants would have to grow eventually. And maybe the forest retained its name after it grew back.

IC: JikalJikal caught the look in Tawara's eyes, and glared at her.

IC: Tawara, Ta-Wahi"What?" asked Tawara when she realized Jikal was looking at her.

IC: Jikal"I see that look in your eyes." Jikal growled.

IC: Raion, Ga-Koro"Stop bullying the Matoran, Jikal." Raion growled, his voice echoing over the sounds of all others.

IC: Jikal"I'm not bullying anyone, Raion." Jikal growled in return.

IC: Raion & Kitsune, Ta Wahi"You're accusing her of staring. Not even staring at you, but staring at the forest. If i'm not mistaken, some pitiful attempt of fight-starting like that qualifies as bullying." Raion said, a bored tone in his voice.Kitsune looked at Raion, an angry stare peircing into him. She waited until she had the perfect moment to add to the conversation.

IC: Tawara, Ta-Ga Border"What look?" interjected Tawara.

IC:Jikal"That 'The forest is burning becuase of Jikal' look." He redirected attention back to Raion. "Oh, and I never accused her of staring at me. I just pointed out her expression. And me? Pick a fight with a matoran? That wouldn't be much of a fight, now would it? So what point would it serve?"

IC: Tawara, Ta-Wahi"Well, I'm sorry if I'm mad that your alter ego wiped out half an ecosystem and destroyed a village's only nearby food supply." Tawara laughed mirthlessly at the look on his face as she said that. "Didn't think of that, did you? I bet Ta-Koro's gonna be facing a lot of problems in the near future. I know it en't your fault, Jikal. But I think a bit of anger is justified here."

IC: Raion, Ta-Wahi"It would serve the purpose of letting you vent your anger. Let you power yourself with your mark. Perhaps even let Iris loose for some fun. But you'd never do that, of course. Never." Raion said in his previously used bored tone.

IC: Jikal"If I wanted to vent, Iris would already be loose." Jikal replied, with a growl. Tough it was almost imperceptible, his eyes glowed dimly green.

IC: Raion, Ta-Wahi A small chuckle escaped Raion's lips. "Boy," Raion said, punctuating "boy" into the worse of insults. "Is your biggest comeback saying Iris is coming back? Karz, we all know that. If you wanted to vent, and then release Iris, whose fault would it be when more forests blaze? When more people are killed? Your fault, that's who. If you want to release him to vent, my rating of you on the maturity scale just went way down." Raion finished.

IC: Tawara, Ta-Wahi"Er, guys, this really isn't a good time to fight," said Tawara hastily, though privately she agreed with Raion.

IC: JikalJikal laughed a long, drawn out laugh, though there was no humor in it. "You ever try having another personality, Raion? You don't get to pick and choose. If my guard slips even for a second, if I even consider the prospect of letting him out for just a moment, he has an opportunity." His eyes glowed dimly again. "Besides, we all know you hate me anyway."

IC: Tawara, Ta-WahiTawara decided to give up on the two and reached inside her bag. She pulled out a hunk of Mahi meat and began devouring it hungrily -- she hadn't eaten for more than a day. The Matoran tried to feed some to Gyren, but it was no use. He had passed out again, and was unable to chew. Tawara didn't want to risk choking him.OOC: I'm going to let you guys decide when they reach Ta-Koro, if that's okay.

IC: Raion, Ta-WahiRaion's voice lost it's bored tone, and was replied by an icy edge. "I hate to repeat myself, Jikal, but it appears that I must. We all know that Iris is coming back. We all know you have zero control over yourself in the sense of alternate personalities. I don't hate you. The only emotion I have for you is pity."

IC: JikalJikal cackled. "If I had no control, then Iris would always be in control. I keep him in check as long as possible. And the Mark don't help any."

IC-Hasil:Hasil walked around outside of the Koro, after getting a rather helpful Toa with a Kadin to get him across. He saw the forest burning again...good. Hopefully he wouldn't have to go into it again. However, he noticed a small group of beings walking up to the Koro. He was getting slightly bored, so he figured he would go speak to them.OOC: He's a'jumpin' in, mates.

OOC: I'm assuming that's Jikal's group.IC: JikalJikal glared at the approaching Hasil. "Can we help you?" His tone was polite, but carried an edge of annoyance.

IC: Raion & Kitsune, Ta-WahiRaion opened his mouth to speak, but was cut off."Don't. Say. Another. Word." Kitsune said coldly as she clutched her head in pain. All her injuries had finally caught up with her, and the sheer pain felt like it was searing through her brain. Jikal would have never seen here this angry. It was certianly different from the normal, cheery Kitsune he'd be used to.Raion kept his mouth open a moment longer, as if to say something, but closed it, walking on in silence.

IC: JiMingJiMing was walking around his home, thinking.What happened to the Toa, those 100 years ago? If only I knew where to find the answers....I suppose I'll look around here, and ask people if they know anything. So know he was going around, asking people if they knew a place he could look for answers.OOC: I'll be playing now. Interaction with my character is open! And yes, I know he has a weird name, but I don't care.

IC: JikalJikal glanced at Kitsune, and yet another sword of guilt stabbed into his heart. Quietly, he spoke. "You should let Raion or I carry you. You can't be doing yourself any good walking like this."

IC: Kitsune, Ta-Wahi"I'm f-" Kitsune started to say before stumbled. "I'm fine." She finished as she regained her balance. Stubborn, yes. Fine, she was not.

IC: Jikal"No, you're not." Jikal said firmly. "It was my body that threw you, I know exactly how much force was used."

IC: Kitsune, Ta-WahiKitsune sighed a sigh of defeat. "You're right, I'm not fine. But I don't want to be a burden." She said.

IC: Jikal"You? A burden? Did you light the forest on fire and nearly kill your friends too?" Jikal asked sarcastically. "'Cause I think that guy is the burden."

IC: Kitsune, Ta-WahiKitsune looked at Jikal, sadness in her eyes. "You're never going to stop hitting yourself over that, are you? I know it was bad, but it wasn't you. There was nothing you could do. It wasn't your in control, Jikal. It wasn't you." She said quietly, trying her best to comfort him.

IC: JikalJikal was quiet a moment. "Do you know how many people I have killed? Not Iris. How many I have killed."
