BZPRPG: Ko-Wahi

IC: Khaed:"How long do you think your children will be back?" Khaed asked.

"A day or two," calls out the Turaga before reappearing back in the main room. "I'll let you stay here for the night; especially since it's getting dark out," he adds while looking out of a nearby window. "Does that sound good to you?"-Mef Man

IC: Khaed:"Sounds fine to me. By the way, did I get your name?" the Toa asked.

"Did I get yours?" he replies. "Mine's Vagdom; you'll call me sir. I'm not getting any younger."-Mef Man

IC: Khaed:"No sir, my name is Khaed," Khaed replied. "Where should I stay?"

"Nice to meet you, Khaed, and you'll be staying in the second back room," he replies, pointing toward a room next to the other. "I have a few beds in there that you can sleep on. Just take your pick and you can get some shut eye when you want."-Mef Man

IC: Khaed:"Thank you, sir." Khaed entered the second room and started to unpack. "Business been slow?"

"Which one?" he starts. "The bounty hunting or the weapons business?"-Mef Man

IC: Revan:"Both," Khaed replied, settling into his 'home' .This Turaga could be useful.

"Well, bounty hunting has been going terribly; no one stopping by for missions," he starts while brewing a fresh pot of tea. "And, the store's been doing great. Many Ko-Matoran and Turaga have been stopping by for more disks and small weapons. Been having to order them faster than I can sell them."The Turaga-not one to pry too much into the personal lives of others-decided to simply continue his work of dragging items that would help them on their mission into the other room instead of asking a question back.-Mef Man

IC: Khaed:"Sorry to hear, sir," Khaed said before falling asleep, garb still on.

IC(Pourge): The matoran was cold. Very cold. His firestaff had run out of fuel to burn, making it impossible to burn. On the bright side, it could be used to hit things. In the distance, Pourge could see some sort of building. "Hello? Is anyone there?"

"Not your fault," he replies; not knowing the Toa was asleep. "Actually, your being here has helped the bounty hunting business." The Turaga glances into the back room, only to find the being asleep. He groans before walking behind the counter and grabbing a sack of widgets. The being soon disappears in the other back room; placing the widgets in a hidden safe before returning to his work of stacking weapons.-Mef Man

OOC: Where's Tahu?? Finish the fight lah!@Legolover, you want interaction? You got it.IC: Red, AldarinRed continued, drawing and planning on a massive scroll; A birds eye view of what he wanted the hut to be. Simple enough, except that there were secret hatches below it and on top of it holding weapon storage's, tools and gadgets. He wasn't sure the school...principle would be happy that one of the student's huts had turned into a mass weapon bunker, but Red didn't really know how he had all these ideas to begin with. As if they were programmed into his mind....Turning around, he left for the school. At least 1 weapons cache underneath one hut. Passing the Turaga, who just watched, happy, he told him that he had a new home....for now. Aldarin sighed. However, as he headed for the largest hut on the interior, he bumped into Nova.Red: Oops...sorry.Meanwhile, Aldarin looked around to give the news that one of the students at the academy was probably renovating his hut to create an underground system of tunnels to store weapons and gadgets and all sorts of things. In fact, if Aldarin knew anything, it would be that he had already designed one simply for his hut....and was unsatisfied at the usage.

IC: "More Bula tea, Mr. Wokapu?""Gladly, sir"The lean and unarmored (he preferred a blazer and slacks) Toa of Air sat comfortably across the sturdy, wooden couch. He nodded graciously as the Matoran poured his tea and set it on the ice-carved table in front of him. Beyond the ice table was a grand window, displaying the beautiful ice-capped mountains of Ko-Wahi. Frosted trees covered the terrain outside, as well as the high mountain that Wokapu's clubhouse sat steadily upon. He calmly breathed in the crisp, cool air and fog exited from his polished, golden Kakama when he exhaled. Wokapu had made it. Through more than a century of innovation, ingenuity, and charisma, he had managed to position himself above the other Toa in the land in terms of wealth in class. He no longer had to risk his life to protect the Matoran, he could improve their lives through other means, like quality products and stones to help them get through the day. He leaned forward and gently picked up the cup of tea, resting on a frosted, metallic dish. Steam smoothly rose from the hot drink, and the Toa nodded in approval after taking the first sip. His staff always brought out their best work, whether it was food, keeping the house clean, or even something simple like a drink. Wokapu considered that this may have had to do with a high respect for him. It could also be because they made good money for what they did, and up here, they were safe from Rahi attacks or insane tirades from Skakdi or other beings. He set the cup down onto the ice table and reached over to his pile of thin tables - messages carved in all of them. He took the top table off the stack and began reading:Dear Mr. Wokapu,My name is Deros, a representive of the Onu-Kiata Mining Guild. I was hoping that you would have some free time do devote to giving a word of encouragement to our workers. I believe that there is much that we could all learn from youWokapu chuckled. Another day, another speech. He didn't mind though - he loved telling captive audiences about himself and his successes. He set the table on the table next to his tea, and reached over to grab the next tablet off the stack. Greetings Mr. Wokapu,As you may have heard, an academy is in the process of being built not too far from where you stay. It will serve as the new center for developing Toa into powerful forces, as well as teaching them to think wisely. Not surprisingly, the academy is in need of funds. While they haven't asked me directly, I think this is grand opportunity to establish the Cultured Gentry with this rising star of an organization.Write me back or come visit me if you want to discuss this further.Best regards,RevajChief Engineer of Kolhii Ball Designs. Wokapu rubbed his chin in curiosity. He had heard some rumblings about a new school being built in this region. Still, it would be foolish to just hand out a check to an organization so mysterious to him. Wokapu rose to his feet and walked over to his calendar, which hung on the north wall (to his left). Much of his schedule was booked, but he did have some free time now. If there are people onsite, Wokapu could learn more about them right then and there. Otherwise, he could plan a later appointment. He then walked back, behind the couch, to his coat closet, taking out his thickest garment and scarf. Wokapu put the coat on and casually whirled the scarf around his neck. "I'm going to head to this academy place," said Wokapu to the caretakers and security guards inside. "Keep the place safe while I'm gone, won'tcha?"With that, the Toa of Air walked out his front door, welcoming the cold chill and moving towards where the school was being built.

OOC: Two Revan's?! Maybe my Revan can meet him! :PIC: Khaed:Khaed, yawned, waking up. "What a short nap I took, sir?" Khaed informed. "Sir, do you mind if I have s'more of that tea?"

OOC: My thoughts exactly.

Vagdom nodded to the being before walking to the back room. He reaches for the tea pot and pours a fresh cup of tea into a glass before walking back to Rhaed and handing it to him."There you are," he says before walking back to his work. "Now it's time to make your weapons."-Mef Man

IC (CRANE Academy):Wandering blindly through a crowded area was not the best idea.Clang!In Nova's tunnel vision, the impact seemed to come out of nowhere. He stumbled backward a step. So did the Matoran who had bumped into him.When Nova's vertigo had cleared and his haze of sleepiness had lifted, the first sight he discerned was the powerful red of the Matoran's armor. He blinked twice to rid his retinas of the iridescent afterimage and a moment later heard the words, "Oops... sorry."He waved away the apology. "It's fine. Just -- I just need to watch out. Yeah." He twisted his foot into the ground. "So what're you doing here? Are you a teacher? A student?"

IC: RedRed: Student. You?

IC (CRANE Academy):"Student. I think." Nova glanced up a mountain path. Vernadon had wandered along it some while back. "Vernadon said he'd train me, but I don't know if that means I'll just be in a class of his or if I'll only be his apprentice." He shrugged. "Either way, as long as I get trained, all's good, right?"

IC: Zeltroth grabbed the three Toa before they could be pulled away, and held them in front of every last attack sent at him. "FOOLS!"Fallen was having less luck. "ZELTROTH...FINISH THEM...RAAAAARGH!"Zeltroth knew the only way to win was to defeat the other Toa attacking him. He fired off more Zamors, but...Tahuva rushed into the battle. "ZELTROTH!" He stretched out his arm and pulled Zeltroth to the ground and punched him in the face. "JUNKYARD (CENSORED)" He pulled out his sword, which Zeltroth blocked with his arm. Zeltroth prepared to fire, but Tahuva axed his gun away, then shot a fire blast.Zeltroth dodged and punched Tahuva in the stomach. "HA!"Tahuva staggered, but didn't fall. He shot Zeltroth with flames and hit the side of his head with his sword. "STAY DOWN."Zeltroth grabbed his gun, shot Tahuva in the face, then tackled him.Tahuva rolled backwards and kicked Zeltroth off, then swung his axe into his stomach. "FAIL!"Zeltroth clawed into Tahuva's hand, forcing him to release the axe, then used the axe to attack. Tahuva blocked with his sword, then kicked Zeltroth in the leg. "OOF!" Zeltroth spun to trip Tahuva, who activated his mask shield then kicked Zeltroth in the face."GET UP, YOU BULLY!" He pulled him up by the neck then punched him, but Zeltroth pulled out his flesh from his stomach and slammed it into his face. "KARZ!"Zeltroth began to punch Tahuva all over, who picked his axe back up and hit Zeltroth in the chin with it."Like THAT huh?" Tahuva punched Zeltroth again, forcing him to retreat. "Leave now and you'll have a head left. You've already lost your dignity."Zeltroth refused to lose.OOC: And my strongest char is also here.

OOC: IPhone Post IC: Vernadon By the time Vrana finished his song, all sorts of Rahi had gathered, Vernadon had to shoo them away before moving on. Still he could hear some birds continuing to sing the song he had played. It made him smile. On his way back to the schoolVernadon saw a Toa wearing a golden Kakama. Wrapping his cloak tighter around himself and hunching over, Vernadon approached him. "Hello there sir, what chance is bringing you to the academy?" Vernadon asked the being. OOC: Emzee that's you.

OOC: My last post for today.IC: Kahua ran into Ko-Koro. "THE KARZ?!" Shohu was defeated, along with a brown Toa and a green Toa. Four more Toa were there, still standing. A large, seemingly mutated Vortixx was in a lightning cage and helpless. A massive Skakdi was in battle with a massive Toa, more or less evenly matched. "You don't see THIS every day..."

IC: Solaris, Miptel, The RelSolaris looked at the predicament."Let's do this," he said, pulling out his sword."I could use some action," Mip said, comically dragging his axe to the fight.The Rel didn't say anything. It just pulled out its scepters and assumed a simple fighting stance.

Ic: It was raining softly, and the trail's muddy path clapped softly under the toa's boots. The water turned to rivulets as they struck his coat, falling off as they flowed down its side and fell to the ground like the drops they struck the coat as. In the distance, the white capped mountains of Ko-Wahi floated like majestic clouds, towering over everything else, and to the other side the were the breaks that gave way to great plains of greenery. And in the middle of these two biomes was a strip of mud. And in this mud was a school. This was the toa's destination.He was told of the school a while ago, though it was billed as a monastery back then. A humble place where a few masters will have gathered to teach and tutor the students who would pour in in the ways of being true and noble. The arts and skills will be the way of the school, and students would leave with greater abilities and obligations than those who simply lived their lives victims of fate. The toa was asked to become a master at the school, a professor in the arts of the mind and teacher of tactics. It was a series of skills he was very good at.Finally, he arrived. It wasn't much, just a set of huts around a central stone courtyard. Paper lamps dangled in the breeze from the corners of the huts, their glow illuminating the porches that surrounded the huts. A few empty chairs were on the decks, rocking as if sat in by old men who stared off at the stormy distance. The courtyard seemed empty and devoid of life, but it was a welcome sight for the weary hiker. He soon came to the nearest deck and sat in a chair, waiting for life to emerge and greet him.

OOC: ......Argentum actually asked your chars a question AFTER pulling them away from Zeltroth. Using a magnetic current, if Zeltroth grabbed on, he would've been affected (Dragged on the ice too). Perhaps you should revise your reading....Also, if your strongest char is a Toa of Fire...I can easily punish him with Argentum.IC: Argentum, JL, RedArgentum turned his head, spotting JL. Both exchanged a nod. The Toa of Lightning charged at Fallen, once again firing bolts of electricity while creating an electromagnetic pulse around the electric cage......No escape guaranteed. Meanwhile, Argentum dealt with Zeltroth and Tahuva. Pulling away the 3 injured Toa through telekinesis AND magnetism, anyone touching them would simply be crushed by tons of power. Then, he created a magnetic pulse to seperate Zeltroth and Tahuva; Both were pulled away from each other, with 15 feet in between them both.Argentum: Lets stop the fight, shall we? Now, tell me, who is it I should help? Who is it that needs to be chained up, locked up, given to the turaga for punishment?A menacing smile appeared on his face, as all 10 swords which belonged to him unsheathed themselves, floating battle ready, as if there were invisible warriors holding them. Of course, they were all controlled by Argentum, who still had a lot of tricks up his sleeve.=====Red: Well, depends on what you're getting trained on. Training is gonna be useless if in the future you can't put it to use.He spun his knife in his hand, bored.

IC (CRANE Academy):Again Nova shrugged. "True. True."A gentle drizzling had started during the discussion, a hazy mist rising from the ground as water droplets impacted, turning dirt to mud. The Matoran -- What's his name? -- took out a knife and twirled it, his eyes glazing over. Nova could sense the other's disinterest and cast about with his mind and eyes for a new topic of discussion.His eyes caught it first. A Toa, a stranger among strangers to Nova, walking into the middle of the collection of huts."Hey," Nova said, pointing, remembering pointing was impolite, and sheepishly lowering his finger. "A new guy. C'mon -- let's go see who he is."The first step toward the Toa was the hardest. Nova was always nervous around strangers, and one wearing a cloak set off an even bigger warning bell in his subconscious. But after his nervousness had been overcome, his steps came easier till he had come within a few meters of the Toa."Er... hi."Stupid. You couldn't come up with a more original greeting?With an effort, the mental philippic was dispelled. "Are you here to join the academy?" asked Nova.OOC: It's 1:37 AM where I live -- my writing isn't at its best.

IC(Pourge): The matoran continued towards the buildings. "What the...I don't remember this."

Ooc: I'm assuming that's me.Ic: The toa turned to face the greeters. "Hello," he said in a thick accent. He rose from his seat and knocked his cane once on the porch, its tip clicking on the floor. "You could say I am here to join, yes. Are you students?" he asked.

IC: RedRed followed, no noise coming from his mouth. He tossed his knife, catching it while balancing it on the bladed tip. He flipped it back, and in one smooth motion, re-sheathed it in his black armor; Something which easily fit him.The Toa in front of him, who tapped his cane similar to a habit, stood up, asking them a question. Red looked at the cane. If this guy was a teacher, Red made a mental note to put explosives on the cane as a joke. Jokes were funny.Red: I'm a student. I'm guessing you're a teacher. What's your name?OOC: Edit, ah, whatever. He answered.

Ic: "Not yet, but I got an invitation," he said, holding a note up like ID and credentials. "I suppose that's enough to qualify as one, though," he said. "The name's Kaccio, de facto professor of the mind. And who are you two?"

IC: RedRed: Red of Pallet Town...something. Not really sure where I came from. Maybe as the professor of the mind you can find a way to get me past my memory loss. Sucks really bad.

Ic: Kaccio shook his head. "Not that sort of 'mind,'" he explained. "I practice the use of the mind to create tactics and cultivate education, not mastery of your memories." He looked around him. "Where are the others?" he asked.

IC: Utu - Ko-Koro StreetsUtu chuckled, "You? You didn't last five minutes with three others, let alone yourself."Utu heard a footstep behind him, and swerved to see what was going on.IC: Salamander - Ko-Koro StreetsSalamander figured Kinvex thought Salamander was going to strike Utu from behind. Hardly so, when Utu turned around, he leapt forwards and tore off the bandage on his arm.There Utu stood, a mark exposed for all to see, glowing a deep purple, emanating not only a faint light, but an aura of fear, maybe even evil. Salamander could feel it too, "Looks like you've got a little something on your arm."Utu turned around and grabbed Salamander by his neck, he pulled his face close to his own, not saying anything, but instead only looking into the eyes of the fire Toa, smiling on their own in amusement.After a moment of Utu staring angrily at Salamander, Salamander spoke, "Take your hands off of me.""Or what?""Dragon Breath!"Utu's eyes widened as the fire erupted from Salamander's face, into Utu's, who had just enough time to almost evade the attack, and close his eyes.He might be blind, or have trouble seeing for quite a while at the very least. Utu knocked into something in his flailing, presumably Kinvex.

IC (Krohlen)Just at that moment, Krohlen walked past, muttering to himself."...about fourteen bio wide, yes, hmmm..."He looked hard at a nearby semi-constructed wall, seemed content, and continued. As he turned away, he noticed Red and Nova and the Toa they'd just cornered."Ah!" he said, coming over. "And you must be...Kaccio, yes?" he asked politely, checking a list.

Ic: "Correct," Kaccio said to the new man. "Who the bloody 'Kuta are you?"

IC (Voi, Ko-Koro):"You should help us", Voi answered Argentum. "We're much nicer than they are."

IC: ArgentumArgentum. I don't know you. I don't know the fools who got defeated. I do know the Toa of Lightning, but other than that, I won't fight for you. I'll fight so nobody dies or gets hurt. Right now, these 3 are hurt, so I'll fight to make sure they don't kill themselves.He stopped.Argentum: In fact, how do I know you aren't the enemy? Hmmmmmm? Tell me why I shouldn't use my new awesome technique to send you flying through the ice walls of Ko-Wahi, past all the glaciers and snow, and drop down the cliff towards a really sharp Le-Wahi jungle tree? In fact, you could be my best practice! Tell me why I shouldn't do that?As he said that, he did form his new technique; The spinning power of a tornado, held in the form of a sphere, created by magnetism and telekinesis. He could feel his arm start to get pulled by the magnetism, which delivered the pull and spin. He gripped his right arm with his left to make sure that didn't happen. Meanwhile, the telekinetic 'Push' of the sphere continued building; Argentum had to use it soon or close the power off.What it truly looked like was the best part of his new technique - Invisible to all but Toa of Magnetism and Telekinesis users. To others, it would look like a really shaky right arm.

IC (Voi, Ko-Koro):"Well, ain't somebody in a bad mood", Voi said, dismayed. "I really suggest taking out your aggressions on inanimate objects. You see, taking it out on living beings - I still happen to be one - will bring pain. And pain is not nice, you know, it isn't. I bet you have experienced that yourself, I'd be surprised if you haven't. Even an insect bite can cause pain, so it's quite scary how many things can cause it. I fight to stop others from bringin pain, cause there's too much of it without crazy beings bringing it more. So you see, that's why you should not blast me to Le-Wahi. If I want there, I have legs for that, you know."

IC: ArgentumArgentum pondered about what Voi had said. That was a very long, very boring speech. Argentum wasn't even sure what he had said. Nope. What a fail. Didn't even do any convincing of joining their side; Just a lot of convincing about him not needing help to get to Le-Wahi. Unfortunately, this was not help.Argentum: That doesn't make me understand how you are nice. Why fight them and cause pain when you can simply stop the fight without causing pain?......Although, pain is pretty awesome.He unleashed the sphere of Telekinetic and Magnetic powers, throwing it, achieving something similar to a massive spinning shuriken being hurled with massive energy in the center. In fact, he could see Voi being drawn towards it - an inescapable war, unless you could create a stronger force than the massive magnetism. Unfortunately, there was a 10 meter distance between Argentum and Voi, so it would take around 1 second before the massive force, around 10 times more than the one he used to destroy a tree into pieces, being hurled at Voi, who was also being sucked towards it.Argentum was, too, but he used magnetism to hold himself back from the deadly force, while he also created a push/pull to force Voi into the self sustaining ball of swirling magnetism; Although, the telekinesis wasn't self sustaining, and Argentum was struggling to keep that part of the energy ball running.
