BZPRPG: Le-Wahi

"If we are dismissed, Sir, Alfon and I can head out to the Kumu Islets if you'd like," the Po-Toa says to Madrihk. Turning to Alfon the Po-Toa adds,"That is, if you want to, Electric Man."OOC: Also, don't forget that Ledzel has his own small vessel now. He can use it to get to the Islets.-Mef Man

IC: Draeverian Joskiir"My 'lady-friend'," Draeverian repeated quizzically, his head cocked off to one side like an owl might observe an odd situation. A moment later he was pounding a fist into his left hand while saying, "Oh! If you're talking 'bout Rivet, we're just a duo with a song. She wants to go to Ta, 'cause that's where fire belongs. I need to fix her up, 'cause what's a girl without her feathers?" The silence from his group made him realize the point he'd left out."I'm not a basket case, but Rivet talks in my head all day. It's only if I hold her, which is why right now she's on that boulder. She's mighty mad, but it won't do nothing until I get some cash."

IC: Alfon / Onyx"Oh yeah, I'd love to go. I'd fit right in the psychopaths over there! Although, we just finished discussing this with no real plan or orders from Madrihk so lets wait until boss man's ready to start things up." I replied. No sarcasm by the way. "But we are excused, right?"Another apology, just what Onyx needed to weigh him down even further. Sighing internally, he merely nodded silently in response, feeling that he should at least acknowledge it rather than completely ignore Kiara. "Partially right. Madrihk's usually there so if you have something meant for him, you can assume that's where he'll be. Deputies just roam the village, supervising and working. They handle the regular news." He pointed past the building. "Over there's the lake as you can see. There's not much there but it's a good view and you can always go for a swim there.""That just about does it." he said, finally turning around. "Um...I guess that's it. Do you need anything else?"

IC(Ledzel)

IC: Alfon

IC: Madrihk"Yes, you may go while I speak to..." - he searched his brain for the name - "Laki. Stay here for the time being, but round up some people to take with you to Xa-Koro. If anything like Ferrin happens over again, it would be best to be more than just two or three. Our ship holds about ten people, and I figure it's still where you sealed it. I'll be with you in a short while with a proper plan of action."Madrihk checked his team roster once more."Don't bring people you don't trust, by the way. Don't start any fights. If something happens, make sure you do not leave a bad impression. Even as strong as the ILS has become, and even though Xa-Koro lacks any formal guard, we can't wage war on everyone in a village like that; it would defeat the point of fixing the place anyhow."

"Will do," Ledzel says to Madrihk. Turning to Alfon, he slaps the Toa on the back and says,"Time to get a team together, buddy."-Mef Man

IC: Alfon / OnyxSo we're going back to Xa-Koro. This is going to be one nostalgic trip. Since the meeting was adjourned, I snagged the team roster out of Madrihk's hands then led Ledzel and I out of headquarters, noticing my brother with a girl I didn't recognize. I caught her eye momentarily, noticing some confusion and recognition inside of them. We are identical, after all."That's my brother Alfon and a guy called Ledzel. They're both deputies."Once Led the Builder and I had some privacy, I held the list in between the two of us so we could both see it clearly."So 10 people max. With you and I, that leaves room for 8 candidates. I think the following would be good to come with us: Reordin, Kethrye, Voriki, Kal or Mussiki, Kohu, Plagia, Mevi and Skrihen but she's debatable. Too much attitude and Xa-Koro's not a pocketful of sunshine like me, quite the opposite really so that could affect her mark negatively. Verik's not an option: we're not going to risk losing our good doctor, the only one in fact. Any thoughts?"

IC:Kethrye followed the two other deputies out off the hut. Xa-Koro, eh, let's hope ot turns out better then last time we were there, he thought, his mind flashing back to the ILS's earlier visit. "Somebody mention my name?" Kethrye said, stepping over to confer with Alfon and Ledzel.

"I'm up for anyone tagging-" Just then, Kethrye approaches the group. "Yeah, we were," Ledzel says to the being. How would you like to come with us to the Kumu-Islets. It'll be like old times..." he adds as his voice dramaticlly wanders off.-Mef Man

IC: Aurel:The Toa of Fire was still waiting for her to go to Madrihk to tell him about Ko-Koro, unaware of Aelynn and what was happening to her.

IC: [Ril]"Ho ho ho de ho."

IC: Reordin (Pala-Koro, Le-Wahi)"In any case, Skrihen would be good to have around as added muscle," Reordin said, stepping forward. "And she'd give us plenty to talk about - that's not a bad thing, love, don't look at me like that - so bringing her along would end up doing more good than harm, I think."-Teezy

IC: Skrihen"Don't make me give you something to complain about." Skrihen said good-naturedly, elbowing Reordin. "And good luck leaving me behind."

IC: (Kiara)"Alright, well it looks like they're heading out. So should I talk to one of them about joining or just go to Madrihk himself?" Kiara asked with an inquisitive look. "Hmm, well if there's nothing to do, I guess could fancy a swim." She chuckled a bit, placing her hands on her hips. Given the type of armor she wore, armor that seemed to be more of a second skin, it was clear why Onyx had called her hot earlier. Kino didn't care about some grunt, although Kiara did. She was hoping she could have sunk her claws into someone far more powerful in the ILS, perhaps even Madrihk himself, but at the moment that didn't seem so. She flashed a flirty yet apologetic smile.

IC: Alfon / OnyxDo these people not understand the concept of privacy? You'd think there's a reason why we're discussing this alone but whatever. I pointed a finger directly at Kethrye, grinning."You can't say no to this, doorman." I shifted my finger to Reordin and nodded. "So long as you keep Skrihen in line, she's in. So are you." To the woman with the bad attitude, this time with an annoyed tone of voice. "I don't have anything personal against you but please try to deflate that oversized ego of yours, okay? Like at the meeting and that last comment: if you're not invited, you don't come lest you want things to get problematic for you. We wouldn't need have any problem keeping you from coming on this trip or sending you back." Notice how I said we. If everyone behaved like her, it'd be chaos. You'd think most people would understand why the concept of order exists!...I'm getting too worked up. I smoothed the top of my head quietly and sighed, flashing a slightly apologetic look at Skrihen quickly."Oh and guys? No eavesdropping please. Thank you."

IC: (Kiara)

"You should go see them instead. My brother Alfon's always quick to respond." Onyx replied, tempted to go for a swim with Kiara as well. Yet after his earlier reaction her affection, it would seem desperate, stupid and weak on his part. What did she see in him anyway? That question gave him food for thought, looking at absent-mindedly. Only when he looked up did he catch that smile of hers. It felt natural for him to smile back softly and for once, he didn't chastise himself for it.

IC: SkrihenSkrihen's eyes darkened. The lavender glow in her eyes, that before seemed playful and cheery, suddenly turned malevolent and cruel. Deep inside them, a spark of hurt flickered.She jabbed a finger at Alfon. "It was a joke, you shadowspawn. And you know what? Bite me, lightning bug. If this is how you treat people with a personality different than you, you can just bite me." The grass beneath her feet withered and blackened with her rage.She turned around, and started to storm off. "Screw you. Screw all of you."

IC: (Kiara)"Thank you Onyx, you've been more than helpful. So where should I look for you, if I want to talk to you later?" Kiara asked. She waited a few minutes, she would leave after she got his response. She wanted to hold back, so she would know. Well besides being attractive, he seemed to be smart and on his toes, she liked that, but she wanted to know more. Like Kino she seemed to love mysteries of sorts, except hers were people. She wanted to peel back the layers and get to know why Onyx ticked.

IC: Alfon / OnyxOh boy, I've done it now. I stared at Skrihen regretfully, feeling suddenly heavy upon realization of my mistake until I broke off my gaze, pinching the bridge of my nose and sighed. "I'm turning into Volin..." I muttered bitterly. As much as I'd have loved to go apologize and try to make things better, now wasn't the time, nor was I in the mood to undertake such a daring task then. What a stressful day...not good for my sanity."I'll go rally up everyone..." I said gloomily, beginning to stalk off. "I'm sorry Reordin. Can you talk to Skrihen?" Before he could reply, I left. I don't want to risk feeling his wrath as well."Practically anywhere, really. I'm rarely indoors as I spend all of my time here working on building the village." Onyx answered, quite pleased that Kiara had bothered to ask.

IC: SkrihenWith every step she took, grass withered and died beneath Skrihen's feet. She stalked slowly past Kiara and Onyx, not even acknowledging their presence other than going around them.

IC: Aurel:The Toa of Fire stood up, still oblivious of Aelynn's presence, "Is that meeting over yet?"

IC:Kethrye blinked, his mouth hanging slightly open in a expression of puzzlement. "Okay, what was that about?" he said, vocalizing his bemusement. "Last thing we need is more emotional breakdowns." Breakdowns about what, exactly, he though, trying to get a grip on what the Karzahni was going on with Skrihen. Her only reaction to the battle was wise cracks, although that's really her reaction to everything, but she throws a fit over something so trivial?He shook his head.The nerve of some people."So, back to the subject at hand: When do we leave?""Leave where?" Voriki said, passing Skrihen as we walked over to join the group gathered near Pala-Koro's main hut. "Did I miss anything?"

IC: SkrihenSkrihen paused, a few feet from Kiara and right next to Aurel. She glared at the Toa. "Oh yeah, it's done. But before he go in, make sure you aren't too pretty, or ugly, or lifelike, or have a personality. In fact, don't express yourself.""Because god forbid if you stand out from the crowd! God forbid you have a sense of humor!"

IC: Aurel:Aurel took a step back, she didn't really want a confrontation with anyone right now. Who knows what the other beings around them would do."Uh, Hullo?" Aurel asked, not exactly sure what to do.

IC: Kodu walked through the jungle near Pala-Koro. He was lost, and he didn't like the jungle. He walked around, looking for a way to get back to Pala-Koro.OOC: Open for interaction.

IC: Skrihen"Yes, hello. Now to talk to that group over there," She pointed toward Alfon's group. "And get your soul crushed."

IC: Aurel:Somewhat concerned about the stranger's words, Aurel went over to the throng of people that was indicated to her, "Hullo? Is one of you Madrihk?"

IC: AlfonAll right, I know Skrihen's angry but now that I really think about it, I think she might have reacted just a little too strongly. Is, in fact with all that babbling. Hopefully we put this behind us and realize that today wasn't a very good day for our mental health, mine anyway. Kethrye for one seemed pretty disgusted and I can understand why but I'm going to try to stay neutral right now. It would be a shame if Reordin didn't come, maybe for Skrihen as well."We'll tell you about it later, Voriki. As for where we're going, it's Xa-Koro and you're coming along." I yelled back, now at the centre of the village. I cupped my hands together to amplify my voice."Attention, attention please! The following whose names I have called out must come see me please! I'd like to talk to: Mussiki, Kohu, Plagia, Demetrius and Mevi. Thank you."

IC: (Kiara)Wow such a firecracker...I wonder what's eating away at her. Kiara merely shrugged and gave Onyx a wink before setting off after Alfon."See you later Onyx!" She turned and made her way towards Alfon, finally getting in front of him she held her hands out."Wait! Your brother told me to come talk to you about joining the ILS, I was going to talk to Madrihk, but he suggested you." Then she noticed she had interrupted him. "I'm sorry about that, I wasn't aware that you were busy...I guess I'll just find someone else. She said turning to leave.

IC: AlfonThis girl, she looks familiar...oh yes, it was that girl hanging out with Onyx! Time to meet the lovely lady. As she turned to leave, I gently gripped her shoulder to stop her."Don't worry, I have plenty of time. I see you spoke with my older brother but that's besides the point. What can I help you with?" I asked with my typical quirky smile.

IC: (Kiara)Kiara gave a disarming smile back as she turned around, it wasn't the flirty ones she had been giving Onyx earlier. Unlike Kino she wasn't okay with being a heartbreaker and trying to make the moves on somebody else just because they got her closer to her objective. In fact that was one of the reasons she really hated Kino, other than the fact she was an evil Piraka."Hello, I'm Kiara, Onyx told me to talk to you about joining. He said that unless it was something really important that I shouldn't bother Madrihk. So what do I need to do to join?" She asked.

IC: Skrihen"What are you looking at?" Skrihen snapped at Onyx, her expression shifting from rage to sadness, more of an emotional hurt than anything else.

IC: Alfon / Onyx"Clean the fungus growing in between my toes and kiss my broken arm so it gets better?" I joked, making sure to laugh so she would understand. I don't have fungus in between my toes. "That last part would definitely get you on my good side but in all seriousness, you really don't have to do anything to join. Just give me your name and element, please.""Whoa." was all Onyx could muster to say at the sudden outburst, lifting his hands innocently in self-defence. He'd seen her coming his way, clearly ticked off but he couldn't help but feel the initial shock. Then he saw the look of hurt she bore."Are, uh, you...okay...?" Worst. Question. Ever.

IC(Byraher): Byraher slipped away from the village. She would return again, she promised Madrihk that much. She wasn't leaving or running, no, just getting away from everyone. It would take some time to get used to all of them, but for now, she would sleep here, in this tree. The Kraz did you get yourself into, Byraher....

IC: Aurel:Still standing by where Alfon was, she tapped her foot impatiently, "Hello? Where can I find Madrihk?!"

IC: Alfon"Back there," I pointed to headquarters. "though unless you have something really important to tell him, I suggest you talk to a deputy. Not me preferably lest you feel like waiting a bit: my hands will be busy for a while."

IC: Skrihen"Do I look okay? No? Well that sort if answers the question, now doesn't it?" Skrihen said, sitting down on a stump she grew, and staring despondently at the black trail of death she'd left behind.

ICLaki stood outside the village walls, burying another axe blow into the side of a downed tree. It was hard work, making planks of wood, but far more exhilarating than working on boring old Le-Koro. Here, he was doing something. Here, he was saving the island! he had his destiny!Laki's enthusiastic thoughts let him splinter another piece of wood, which fell off. A bit shabby looking, but it would be a nice, clean plank soon enough. he set to work breaking off the next one, still thinking about how glad he was that his destiny was fulfilled.

IC: Aurel:Aurel thought about his statement for a moment, "Does -erm, partial destruction of Ko-Koro count as important?"

IC: (Kiara - Kino)Kino saw her chance to strike to get on Alfon's good side and to get back at the upstart Kiara for pushing her out of control. Such insolence, at least "The Wolf" knew his place. He was just a construct, a mental one created to help her achieve an end and they honestly thought they could think for themselvs? Ha, they were just a bunch of thoughts in heard, nothing more. Beating down Kiara she started to take control again. She made one mental push and the reaction of that push? Kiara leaned forward and left a light kiss on Alfon's cast. She grinned slightly, while inwardly Kiara frowned."My name is Kiara and my element is Air." She replied.

IC: [Plagia Simul] - Pala-KoroChecking to see that her gear was in order, Plagia began the jog towards the new village gates, planning to discreetly make her way out of the outpost without anyone noticing.Her plan crumbled beneath her when she heard Alfon call her name, as well as Mussiki, and three people who she didn't know. So close...Sighing, she made her way back over to the HQ hut, making not of Alfon, as well as a strange Toa of Air (Kino/Kiara/The Wolf), "Hey Alfon, what did you need to talk to me about?"-Void
