BZPRPG: Le-Wahi

IC: Reordin (Pala-Koro, Le-Wahi)"Skrihen," he began quietly, "you know that they don't mean any real ill will. I mean, even Volin - prick that he is - is a genuine guy at heart. They just don't know you: they don't know when they're offending you or when they're playing along with you."He squeezed her hand and winked at her."Hey. When we get to Xa-Koro, we can bust open some muggers, spread some joy and goodwill and all that hipster stuff, and then be back home in time for the start of the Kolhii season."-Teezy

IC: [Plagia Simul] - Pala-KoroPlagia let out an exasperated sigh, "That's what I just said, minus the part about you and Alfon here leading the mission."-Void

IC: Skrihen"I know." Skrihen sighed. "But when Alfon went off on a rant about my ego, I could tell he thinks I'm a wild element. A danger to the mission.""They're going to think I'm a psychopath. Maybe I am, but that's beside the point. I mean, would they rather this, or a miserable, depressed being incapable of anything? They don't know, and I can't blame them, but still."

IC(Ga'mal Auldron)

"Don't worry, my friend," Ga'mal says to the Ta-ToaMatoran before walking toward the nearby inn. "I just found a nice little bar right in here."-Mef Man

IC: (Le-Koro)Tyrion smiled, as he sat down by the bar, ordering a drink in the process. It often surprised him how quick people would go from 'Brakas' through 'You kind of make sense' to 'friend' so quick. But he didn't mind."One question; you seemed in an awful hurry before. Mind telling me what was so unimportant that you'd drop it to enjoy a drink in my company, of all people's?"

IC: ZykeUpon hearing mention of Xa-Koro, Zyke approached Reordin."Xa-Koro, eh?" he said, "I might want to get in on that."

IC: Reordin (Pala-Koro, Le-Wahi)Saporta was halfway through explaining to Skrihen that he would love her whether she was a flamboyant Bearer with a wit as sharp as her swords or a murderous depressed psycopath, but when the other guy came up, his head snapped up quickly from his girlfriend towards Zyke."Alfon's over there, he's leading the mission," he said, with barely disguised irritation. "Talk to him about it."-Teezy

IC: Zyke"Thanks," Zyke muttered, though he clearly didn't mean it. He marched over to Alphon and said, "So I heard there's a mission going on in Xa-Koro and I want to go with."

IC: SkrihenSkrihen stood. :You're right. Now come on, I'll be darned if that guy takes my space in the roster."

IC: Alfon / Onyx / Volin"Well I'm afraid you'll be staying here. There's only room for ten, they're already filled out and I'd appreciate it if you didn't go out of your way to make yourself an eleventh. In any case, we need people to remain in Pala-Koro to defend the village and more importantly, the Turaga. Thank you for understanding." I replied in a reasonable voice though with all the recent stress, I had to bite back the edge it could have carried. I turned around to face Mevi and Plagia."Please call me Alfon, I hate it when people call me Toa'. As Plagia said, I'm assembling a group for a mission to Xa-Koro and I was hoping you'd care to join us." I said. "And no Plagia, that wasn't my girlfriend. I think my brother's already on that. My arm still hurts despite the kiss." This time to Ledzel. "Since Kethrye's tagging along, it'll be him, you and I in command." I corrected just to get things straight.

I mean, even Volin - prick that he is - is a genuine guy at heart.

"I love you too." I peeped with a grin, walking off to relay Reordin's words to Alfon. "Saporta and his chick will be with you fellas in a minute." "I don't see why not." Onyx said, finished hammering down a final nail into a wooden plank. The Fe-Toa stood up and walked over to a nearby pile of wood where Kiara stood, leaning down to grab a few more planks."You look like something's eating at you. What's up?"

IC: [Ril]"Gaiz, what is going on?"

IC: Reordin (Pala-Koro, Le-Wahi)"Wazzat?" asked Reordin, showing up with his arm around Skrihen. "Did you guys call?"-Teezy

IC(Byraher): Byraher lazily turned over on the branch she was sleeping on. It wasn't a comfortable branch, but at least she found one large enough to hold her pretty well. She opened an eye and grumbled softly. Only about a hour sleep, but it was pretty good. With a rather unladylike word, Byraher gathered her belongings and started down the tree. She was a little ticked, but she wouldn't complain. Not publicly. Byraher made her way to the gates, which were locked. But she knew how to get over the wall. That's how she got over in the first place. With a deep squat, Byraher launched herself up onto the wall, grabbing the top of the wall with her hands. With a little struggle, she pulled herself over and dropped to the ground. "Ta-fricking-da!" she exclaimed.

"Gaiz, what is going on?"

IC:Xa-Koro? Hahhaha no, Vorikie thought, processing what Alfon had told him. I'll go back there over my own dead body, which would at least save me the trouble of going there and getting killed. The remaining portion of Ferrin's crime-ring were likey still after his head, especially after he had helped double-cross their boss. They probably blamed him for the whole entire thing, too."Touchy-feelly heart-warming stuff, apparently," said Voriki to Ril as he strode over to the Toa of Fire. He grimaced and rose his hands in a gesture that said "I'm just as confused as you are, don't ask me". He paused a moment, and them continuing with actual words. "Also interpersonal conflict, but for this place that's a given, blah."- - - -"Ahem, when are we leaving?" Kethrye reiterated as he followed Alfon and Ledzel to the center of the village. "Do we go as soon as we can get everyone organised, a amazing feat in and of it's self, considering how chaotic things are around here lately, or do we wait until tomorrow? A lot has happened today and all. . ."What do we to when we reach Xa-Koro, anyway? Ten people seems a bit much for a scouting mission."

IC: ZacaxZacax had told Amber and Calebos to return to the life Fire. He wanted to see this place where the Rahkshi strike happened. He exited the village through the elevator and walked through the jungle.

IC: (Kiara)Kiara grabbed activated her mask, motioning with her hand she floated a few more planks to an area where Onyx could easily get them. When she heard him ask the question about how she was feeling. She was afraid to answer and it was written all across her face."I don't know sometimes I just do things that are so stupid and then I don't remember why I did it in the first place. That and I'm gonna have to be leaving soon. I got some friends I need to meet up with and maybe I can bring them here as well." She sighed. Inwardly she felt a sharp pain near the back of her head. It was Kino angry that she had been defiant for so long. There were other places she needed to be. Thing she needed to do, plans that needed to be laid. Wasting time in Pala Koro was not on her list. She'd be back soon, to dig herself deeper in among them, but there were still some things that Kino needed to check out.

IC: [Ril]"I see. Well, I'm still the doorman for now."

IC: ZacaxZacax kept walking through the dense jungle, he thought he was heading for Pala-Koro where the broken hive was near.

IC: Alfon / Onyx"I do agree that 10 seems like a lot but Madrihk never specified whether this would only be a simple scouting mission. Once he's done napping, he'll fill us on all the details so we can make proper arrangements. Also consider where we're going: people are less likely to pick a bone with a large group for poor reasons, much less handle such a fight well." I said, surprising myself as I found myself yawning at the end."I think we'll wait until tomorrow. The prospect of rallying everyone up and keeping things tidy is a daring thought in itself and it just so happens that right now, my mental health isn't doing so great. I think I'm going to follow Madrihk's lead and go catch some shut-eye. I'll talk to those who haven't showed up yet tomorrow." I turned around to face Mevi, Plagia, Reordin and Skrihen, avoiding making eye contact with the last. "I'd ask that you guys be ready for departure as soon as possible unless you're not up to heading to Xa-Koro, which is totally okay. I'm going to bed."With another yawn and a lazy wave, I dismissed myself and walked over to headquarters, taking the liberty of occupying the second room with a bed, actually locking the door just in case. Instantly, I crashed onto the soft mattress and fell into a deep sleep. Onyx huffed out a small "Thank you." as Kiara levitated the pile closer to him, sparing him a few more trips. He continued to work at the wall, listening silently while hammering more nails that appeared from his finger tips. The building was coming along nicely, this wall nearly completed and what was that? Kiara had to leave soon? That caused him to frown slightly though it could easily be mistaken for concentrating on his work."Everyone does stupid things, it's a part of life. If you can't fix your mistake, try to learn from it." he gave as advice, trying to be reassuring but helpful as well. He'd save her the embarrassment so he didn't ask what she'd done. "How long do you think you'll be gone?"

IC: ZacaxZacax kept walking, nearing Pala-Koro. This jungles was too thick...

OOC: "facepalm" Sorry, Dovy! And, Kal, if you see this post we're in your tavern-ish thing.

"Ah," Ledzel replies to Alfon before turning to Kethrye. "Welcome to the leader's circle, bud!" he says with a hint of dramaticlly enhanced excitement, but he was still glad that the being was going to share the role as leader with them. Less work for both of them, now..."Eh, I wasn't really in a hurry," Ga'mal says to the being. She reaches out for a glass and takes a sip from it before adding,"I'm setting off on a journey around the island, so I want to make sure my animals are in prime condition for the trip."-Mef Man

IC (Rockosis, Le-Wahi, from Onu-Wahi): "That's why I have a backup." Shade said. "And since we might be going into town, use my name as Shade. I don't want anyone here knowing who I am, especially those who know me here." he shrugged. "Anyway, we can always just slit her throat. Do you know which element she commands?"OOC: I'll PM you the plan.-Bane

IC (Hatann): "No idea" Hatann shrugged as he stepped over a fallen trunk. "You know as much as I do about this Ryllia. Raxa said she was a she, that she was in Xa-koro and gave her name. That's all we have to go on". He walked a few more steps in silence then said "It might be prudent to use a fake name, though if all goes well you shouldn't need it. Shade isn't a bad one as far as aliases go, but it's a little unoriginal. You should remember that we were ordered to kill "Shade" and make sure he stayed dead. You make sure he doesn't go popping up again".

IC: [septimus]"Sal, I just had a feeling that you're going to be in some pretty big trouble soon."

IC: (Le-Koro)Tyrion nodded, thoughtfully. "Fortunate you are to be able to start a trip around the island. Mine always end in knives and blood, and me narrowly evading ending up on the highest tower of Ta-Koro stark naked. So I just stick to small trips from village to village at regular intervals."

IC: Mevi (Pala-Koro square)"If... it's not too much trouble, I'd like to stay here," Mevi said, with a somewhat tired look in her visible eye. "As part of the Guard, I have always felt a strong sense of loyalty to the honorable Turaga. Abandoning them now - especially Ta-Koro's own Vakama - would not sit right with me. I would prefer to stay and guard them. The Skakdi can have my place on the boat if he wants it."IC: MadrihkBefore Madrihk had gotten even halfway across the floor, there was a knock on the door, and the Toa of Ice grumbled as he turned around to see who it was. It was a blue Toa, female, with a Faxon on her face. Unlike most Toa, this one wore a dress. Madrihk was fairly certain he had never seen her before."Yes?" he asked, not caring for introductions at the moment.

IC: Aurel:A flicker of surprise appeared beneath her mask for a moment, before she remembered to say what she needed to say, "Oh, Hullo. I bring news from Ko-Koro. The village blew up."

IC: MadrihkMadrihk was caught off-guard by the news, and was uncertain of if it was a joke or not. He went silent for a few seconds, eyes shifting almost imperceptibly while he tried to take in the other Toa's expression. He found no particular emotion in it that could tell him what he needed to know."Could you please repeat that?" he asked. "I thought you said the village blew up."

IC: Aurel:"About... Half? I'm pretty sure it was half, of the village blew up about... a day ago? There was a avalaunche, looters, people trying to figure out what happened. A really big mess. The Guard headquarters got hit the hardest, and all the hospitals were destroyed. Some houses too," Aurel said, recounting what happened.

IC: ZacaxZacax had made it to Pala-Koro, and saw a few people talking, and Aurel.IC: The DuskThe Dusk walked through the jungle, with an evil smile upon his face. He was looking for that Zacax boy. If Tahukama was on this island, you could bet Zacax would be somewhere around this island as well.

Ga'mal couldn't help but laugh at the Ta-Matoran's insane story. Thankfully she had never been anything quite so severe."Well, my trips usually end better than that, luckily," Ga'mal says with a chuckle. After taking a sip from her cup, she turns and asks Tyrion,"So, you got a name?"-Mef Man

IC: The DuskThe Dusk was approaching Pala-Koro, he had heard of these Rahkshi. They belonged to the master of shadows, and somehow these Toa stopped them. They are so weak, having to be in a group to stop a few of the spawns of shadows

IC: (Le-Koro)"Lord Tyrion Lannister, at your service," he bowed as gallantly as he could. The word "lord" he said remarkably unnoticably, as a man who thought it more part of his name than a title. Well, considering he had no land and no right to the inheritance it may have been just that. "And you?"

OOC: @ Zacax: Xa-Koro? Isn't that in the Kumu Islets?

"Ga'mal Auldron," she says with a small nod of her head; quite less exstravegant than this "Lord" Tyrion's bow. "I've never met a lord before. What do you do?"-Mef Man

OOC: Whoops sorry, screwed up there.IC: ZacaxZacax walked up to The group, wondering what was going on, not wanting Aurel to know he was here, he bought she would think that would be creepy.IC: The DuskHe could see a group of people. Some were this Toa...

IC(Byraher): Byraher walked towards the center of the village, as that's we're most of the voices radiated from. She passed a small group discussing Xa-Koro. "Xa-Koro? Fun place. Mostly bars and houses of pleasure. Although most of them are fences for stolen goods or fronts for the gangs out there." she said with a grin as turned towards them. IC(Kaerhi): Kaerhi popped his neck as he listened. The sooner the target was killed, the sooner he could get a new cloak.

IC: (Le-Koro)"Shout at servants, drink copious amounts of beer, die in battle. Typical lord stuff."Tyrion sighed, slowly. "Well, that was what my dear father wanted me to do. Before I was born. After, well, he just wanted me out of sight, because I wasn't at all a sight for sore eyes, as you can see. Rather, a sight that induces sore eyes."He scratched his chin, thoughtfully. "I had a brother I quite liked, back home; he was the brawn, I was the brain, and he was a vile maniac while I was a vile abomination. We got along quite well. Sadly, we had laws back home on how inheritance passes down, and it went down to the elder child. I thought, heck, who cares, he can have the lordship, I don't need it. My father thought otherwise - he thought I'd poison my dear brother or something equally rash. So, I thought, well, fine, I'll leave, and enjoy the better things in life. Ale, travel, a few pleasure houses once or twice, as little daggers down my throat as possible. And something to do."He took a gulp of a drink the bartender handed him, and continued, "So I left. And now... I'm doing mostly nothing. My father was generous in giving me money, just to make sure I'd get the Karz out. Trying to live the good life as much as I can; see the world; hope dear dad dies before I decide it's time to go back home. Like I said, my brother liked me, a bit. And he's got more brawn than... well, he hasn't got all that much brain, so I can't say brain. I'll say, he's got more brawn than head. He's not so smart as to think I'd pose any threat to him. Which is one of the many cases in this world when the stupid man is more right than the smart one."

IC: Ziraul turned and and said,"Let's go visit our...source of information, Aparangi" With that, "Vilorus" set off towards Lake Pala.

IC:It wasn't such a long walk from where they were to where the ILS had established their base of operations and within an hour, Aparangi could spot the first signs of the enclosed village through gaps between the trees. A few minutes later they came out of the undergrowth of Le-Wahi and stepped onto a path that, Aparangi guessed, would lead them to the entrance of the village. They turned and followed it. As they walked, Aparangi turned to "Vilorus" : "If you don't mind, let me do the talking once we get to the gate."OOC: Couldn't find a reply to Mariko through the search feature, so if I missed something, my bad.^^

Ga'mal had drunk the rest of her glass while the Ta-Matoran told his tale. It seemed as if this guy was a bit cold toward most things. Ga'mal didn't agree with most of what he said, but you could always blame it on his upbringing. Right?"Well, sorry to hear you're life is so...bad," Ga'mal replies before taking another sip from her now refilled glass. "Atleast you're living the good life while the rest of us work for what we have. So, enjoy that atleast," she adds with a small smirk.-Mef Man

IC: The DuskHe saw...Zacax. Perfect, but he decided to torture him. So he left, heading to the dock, he could steal a ship and kill his friends if they were on the island.IC: Zacax"What's going on?" Zacax said covering his voice with an accent,

IC (Shade, Le-koro): "I know. I'll explain to Raxa later. Shade has built a name. I built a name, but only as a happy, go-lucky bounty hunter. Most have yet to see my darker side. I also have a reputation, and if anyone saw me, would put a monkey wrench into the plans. That's why I'm playing Shade. Better to be known and feared than unknown and loved. We want people to stay away from us, remember?" Shade looked at Hatann, wondering for at least the fifth time what was going on inside that head. "But we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. Right now, we need to find a boat."-GB

IC: Ambera and CalebosThe two were on a boat, with Ambera singing because she was bored,"I'm on a boat, I'm on a boat, I'm," she sang, wih Calebos looking out to the sea.IC: The DuskHe walked through the sense jungle, heading to the port, he hated this place.
