BZPRPG: Ta-Wahi

IC: Cysero (Guard HQ, Ta-Koro)"Truth be told..." Cysero said, sighing and leaning against the wall; something in his sparkling eyes seemed to betray a deep, heartclenching fear that Cysero couldn't seem to verbalize. "I'm not really in much of a Kolhii playing mood. There was...an accident last night."-Teezy

IC-Naria:Naria cocked her head to the side, curious, and looked over to Cysero."What do you mean when you say 'an accident,' Kolhii-head?" she asked him.

IC: Cysero (Guard HQ, Ta-Koro)"I was buried alive," he mumbled, so quietly that he had to repeat it so that Naria could understand him. "On the...on the way from Onu-Wahi."-Teezy

IC-Naria:Naria's eyes went wide with amazement. "Cysero, that's terrible!" she said, then her eyes narrowed."What in Karz are you doing playing Kolhii after you were buried alive, you fool?" she scolded.

IC: Cysero (Guard HQ, Ta-Koro)"I came to show a friend some tips," he said, gesturing back at Dahlia; his bluster and ego seemed to have dissipated, and his chest was tight with tension, as if the dirt was still packed on top of him. "Then another guy I was with got arrested before we could get to the field, and we came here. So now...I dunno what to do."-Teezy

IC-Naria:Naria sighed."Cysero, I think Joske was right. You do have an amazing ability to get in trouble." She shook her head. "Ah, well. I think the best thing for you now would probably be food, drink, and sleep."

IC: Cysero (Guard HQ, Ta-Koro)"Want to join me?" he asked, before looking up, eyes wide in alarm as he realized what he'd said. "I mean, in the first two. The eating and the drinking."-Teezy

IC-Naria:Inadvertently, Naria smiled at Cysero."I'll join you for the first two," she said, "But if you ever make the mistake of including the third again, I'll whack you harder than Joske ever did. Deal?"

IC: Cysero (Guard HQ, Ta-Koro)"I didn't mean to!" he said defensively. "I don't think before I speak, you should know that of all people."-Teezy

IC-Naria:"Do any Le-Matoran think before they speak?" Naria asked, letting out a light laugh. "Ah, well, it doesn't matter too much." She then thought for a moment, and smiled."Oh, by the way, I'll let you pay for everything."

IC: Cysero (Guard HQ, Ta-Koro)"And the award for most chivalrous Matoran in Ta-Wahi goes toooo..." Cysero said with a grin.-Teezy

IC-Naria:"Well, it's either you pay, or I force you to pay," Naria said sweetly. "Which would you prefer?"

IC: Cysero (Guard HQ, Ta-Koro)"Aren't you just the sweetest?" he grumbled, walking towards the Magma Lounge.-Teezy

IC-Naria:"Yes," Naria said drily. "Yes I am." She looked about herself, gauging everybody's subtle reactions to the appearance of her walking by Cysero."Half of these people seem to think we're in a relationship. I feel like hurting somebody now."

IC: Cysero (Magma Lounge, Ta-Koro)"I'm not sure whether to join you or feel offended."-Teezy

IC-Naria:"Why not both?"

IC: Cysero (Magma Lounge, Ta-Koro)"Yup. Definitely the sweetest," he said, sitting down and signaling for a shot. "Please, God, something strong. I don't know how long I can deal with her leash around my throat."-Teezy

IC: Airias "Hantak, is that a kind of fish?" Airias asked as he dodged the zamor. Are zamors flammable? Lets find out. Airias shot a fire blast at the Zamor sphere.

IC: KryzaKryza remembered that Cevnix had said not to let anyone know that this was the safehouse of the Nui Bank. "Jobs? We are simply living here, me and my toa companion. We are not hiring, not for anything at all. I heard that a mercenary group is in the inn across the way, if you were looking for work."

IC: Airias"Hantak, is that a kind of fish?" Airias asked as he dodged the zamor. Are zamors flammable? Lets find out. Airias shot a fire blast at the Zamor sphere.

IC: Kryza Okay, this is bad, Kryza thought. There must have been a security breach. Otherwise, how would this guy know we were here? Aloud, he said, "All right then. Wait just one moment while I go out and fetch one of the other representatives. He knows more about this than me. Please, come in and...sit down. Mite here will stay. I'll be back within five minutes." As he left, he whispered to Mite, "Don't do anything that would tip him off to the fact that we have a safe house under here. Just act normal." Kryza left the house, looking for Solaris or Whentenua.

IC-Naria:Naria glared at Cysero, before signalling to the bartender to give her the same thing as Cysero."How about a contest, Cysero?" she asked while their drinks were obtained.

IC: Cysero (Magma Lounge, Ta-Koro)"Nuh uh. Nooooo way, love," said Cysero hastily. "I don't think either of us wants to see how that would end, and the fact that you have a shot at winning is not comforting in the least."-Teezy

IC-Naria:"What is it, Cysero?" Naria said in her sweetest voice possible, leaning over towards the Le-Matoran, probably making him rather uncomfortable about the position."Afraid a little Ga-Matoran can drink you under the table?"

IC: Cysero (Magma Lounge, Ta-Koro)Cysero gulped, his eyes never leaving Naria's face."That," mumbled the star athlete. "And the fact that you may just decide to celebrate afterwards."-Teezy

IC-Naria:At those last words, a quizzical expression came on Naria's face."What exactly do you mean, Cysero?" She asked, though her eyes made sure to tell him that he'd better answer the right answer.

IC: Cysero (Magma Lounge, Ta-Koro)"Well, you've got Marine training. You could put me in like a pretzel shape and roll me down the street or something while you're drunk."-Teezy

IC-Naria:"That's not my idea of celebration, Cysero," Naria told the frightened Le-Matoran.

IC: Cysero (Magma Lounge, Ta-Koro)"Really?" exhaled Cysero, looking relieved. "Cool."-Teezy

IC-Naria:"My idea of celebration would be...well...I can't really think of it right now. Whatever. So, Cysero, what do you say? Drinking contest?" She asked, going back to that thought, her eyes bright.

IC: Cysero (Magma Lounge, Ta-Koro)"Alright, Naria," he said. "Drinking contest. Whatever."-Teezy

IC: [Atonal]"Yes it is."

IC-Naria:Naria smiled."And it begins...now!" she exclaimed, immediately grabbing the shot glass full of whiskey that the bartender had sat down, downing it at once and slamming it back down on the bar, while still glaring over at Cysero.

IC: Cysero (Magma Lounge, Ta-Koro)Cys did the same, his eyes glittering and ready for a competition."Water, too, please," he said.-Teezy

IC-Naria:Naria reached out once more, taking the next shot."What's wrong, Cysero?" she asked, cocking her head again. "Think you can't take the shots alone?"

IC: Kamaehu sighed. A desert would give you that point of view. "Ever spent the better of a quarter lifetime so cold that water liquid in a glass turns to ice in your throat? You'd wish it was alcohol you were drinking, if only for your courage, not to mention it's use in stews."

IC: Cysero (Magma Lounge, Ta-Koro)"Go ahead, laugh now," he said calmly, taking another shot and slamming it onto the bar. "But we'll see who's in the state to tell jokes in the morning when I have a mild hangover and you'll be trying and failing to scoop out your brain with a Kolhii stick."-Teezy

IC-Naria:"I'll still be laughing, when I get annoyed and start a boxing match for fun, actually," Naria said, taking her third shot.IC-Hasil:"I'd think a Toa of Fire would be able to keep his throat heated enough to make sure the water wouldn't freeze," Hasil said skeptically."Although I won't deny its use in stews."

IC: Cysero (Magma Lounge, Ta-Koro)"You're a scrapper?" he asked, taking a shot. "That's actually pretty cool. Wouldn't have expected it of you."He took a sip of water.-Teezy

IC-Naria:"Marine training, Cysero," Naria reminded him. "There's quite a few things I can do with that." She took the next shot, gulping it down quickly, as did Cysero. She, however, didn't need water like he did."See, I tried to just sit around and fish. Obviously, that wasn't happening." She took the next shot, the sixth. Things were going well. Pretty soon Cysero would fall under the table, and Naria would be crowned the victor of this contest."So, Cysero," she began, taking the next shot. They both started to wobble, barely, Cysero taking a sip of water. "How are you feeling?" Shot eight was down.

IC: Cysero (Magma Lounge, Ta-Koro)"Not exactly feeling like I could sit around and fish," he said, grinning. "What about you?"Boom. Boom. Boom. Nine, ten, and eleven dropped, followed quickly by twelve and thirteen. Another sip of water on Cysero's part.-Teezy
