BZPRPG: Ta-Wahi

IC: Cysero (Magma Lounge, Ta-Koro)"Don't mention it," he replied quietly as her hand brushed his shoulder; he put a napkin on his lap and turned around as the food arrived, pensively nibbling on a piece of bacon but not really devouring food, as he was so prone to doing. "Just...don't mention it."That seems to be the rule we're going by, after all...-Teezy

IC-Naria:Naria began to eat, when she noticed Cysero was barely eating at all. She turned to him, a bit of a glare forming in her eyes."Cysero," she said, catching his attention, "You're a great Kolhii player, aren't you?"

IC: Cysero (Magma Lounge, Ta-Koro)Somewhere, slowly, beneath the depression and bitterness clogging Cysero's thoughts, his ego began to purr."The second-best," he stated. "Why?"-Teezy

IC-Naria:Naria smirked. She was successful in getting through to him already, now just to keep it up."I bet I could beat you in a Kolhii match," she growled playfully. "Not just that, but I could do it in five minutes, too. You want to play a match after breakfast?"So far, so good. Keep feeding his ego and you'll be done in no time.

IC: Cysero (Magma Lounge, Ta-Koro)Cysero turned towards his bacon, toast, and orange juice before looking back at Naria. Then at the food. Then at Naria."Fine," he said with a shrug, eating the bacon. "But if I so much as sense the beginnings of a Joske Loop, I'm going back to Le-Koro, signing up for the Gukko Force, and flying straight into the Kini-Nui."-Teezy

IC-Naria:"Eat fast," Naria said, finishing off her orange juice and standing up, moving towards the stairs so that she could grab her Kolhii stick.

IC: Cysero (Magma Lounge, Ta-Koro)When she came back, the only sign that was left of Cysero's food were several pieces of bacon on Naria's plate that she couldn't remember leaving there: one was broken in half and resembled a pair of eyes, and the others were placed in a U shape underneath so as to form a giant smiley, using the plate as a rudimentary Kanohi of sorts.-Teezy

IC-Naria:"..." was all that Naria could think of, looking at the smiley face, and resisting the urge too laugh as she grabbed and ate the bacon, before heading outside, seeing Cysero already practicing back at the Kolhii field."Are you sure you aren't a Toa with a Kakama?" she asked Cysero, walking up, smiling.

IC: Cysero (Kolhii Field, Ta-Koro)"Considerably so," he said, flicking his wrist and spinning the stick around his hand. "Did you like the smiley?"-Teezy

IC-Naria:"It tasted considerably better than your lips last night," Naria said, sticking her tongue out at Cysero as she walked up."Alright, shall we begin?" she asked.

IC: Cysero (Kolhii Field, Ta-Koro)It was worth a shot. She's impossible to please..."Your ups," he said, turning away from her and flicking the staff backwards: the ball floated in a perfect arc between the two of them before plopping down in Naria's stick. "Have at it."-Teezy

IC-Naria:Now he seems mad again. Really, what was it this time?Naria deftly caught the Kolhii ball, then smiled. As Cysero walked to his starting position she quickly flicked the ball down. It bounced perfectly between his legs, before flying back out in front of him at an angle, leaving him shocked as to what had just happened as Naria ran past him and, with a perfectly-placed hit from the hammer, slammed the ball into the goal."Really, Cysero," she began, "Even a Ko-Matoran would have caught that."

IC: Cysero (Kolhii Field, Ta-Koro)Cysero's only reply was a quiet "I guess" as he picked up the ball and waited for Naria to move over to her goal post.You're letting her play you like a grand piano, Cys. Just tell her you're not interested and move on. It was a mistakeBut I---Teezy

IC-Naria:Naria stood, ready to block anything that Cysero might send her way as his first rush on the goal.I have to say, he's certainly better than Joske. Buying me breakfast.Don't forget the drinking contest and what came afterwards, deary.How can I? ...But I'd rather not focus on that right now.Sure thing.Naria shook her head, snapping back to attention.

IC: Cysero (Kolhii Stadium, Ta-Koro)Cysero kicked the ball into the air and immediately jumped into the air, using the stadium wall as support as he bounced off into the air and used his Kolhii stick as a broomstick of sorts, which he stood on as he jerked to the left. He waited a crucial few seconds and--WHAM!The hammer made contact with the ball, sending it flying in between the subtle crook of Naria's shoulder and neck and barely missing her as it soared into the goal. Cys touched down lightly and plucked his Kolhii stick out of the air behind him as he turned to look at Naria.-Teezy

IC-Naria:Oh, by the way, Cysero better hope that Naria doesn't lose. Naria doesn't like losing. At all. To prove that, Naria quickly grabbed the ball, waiting for Cysero to move back to guard his goal. Naria quickly moved the ball up to where it was right next to Cyser, and didn't move.Until Cysero suddenly found himself forcefully shoved down, the ball flying right over his prone form, as Naria proceeded to move back.

IC: Cysero (Kolhii Field, Ta-Koro)Cysero lay on the ground for a minute, slightly confused as to what happened before he realized what'd happened: Naria had cheated. She'd walked over to him, pushed him, then scored a goal on him. And he'd just...let her. He move to stand up--and his muscles seemed to turn to gelatin as he heard various voices in the stadium start to laugh and jeer at him. Ta-Koro Guardsmen. Oh, no..."Wow, prettyboy, way to get decked--""--looks like now we know who wears the pants in this relationship--""Reminds me of how he looked in that match vs. Ta-Koro at the end of last season..."Dejected, Cys plucked himself from the ground and, not even bothering with the hammer, spun around and threw the ball through the hoop with a powerful heave. On his face was a distinctly uncharacteristic look of ugliness and rage.-Teezy

IC-Naria:Okay, now there were Guardsmen watching. Not good. Naria rolled back, catching the ball quickly, before sending the ball flying straight into the face of one of the guards with a smile."Oooops," she said, drawing it out. "I'm terribly sorry, my aim is bad-he's still teaching me, you see," she said, winking at Cysero.

IC: Cysero (Kolhii Field, Ta-Koro)Cys didn't even smile: he plucked another Kolhii ball from the bench and did a backflip, pushing off his own hoop in midair and using his own momentum to spin around in a torpedo shape. The Le-Matoran went flying through the hoop with relative ease and handed Naria the ball, ignoring the boos and Cys-zero puns that inevitably accompanied him on his trips to Ta-Koro as he walked towards his hoop.-Teezy

IC-Naria:Naria smiled, accepting the ball."How about we take potshots at them until they leave?" Naria asked with an innocent smile. "After all, I think it'd be really fun...what about you?" she then leaned in slightly closer to Cysero, whispering that "That last goal didn't count" before she rolled back away, the ball still in her hand.

IC: Cysero (Kolhii Stadium, Ta-Koro)4:59:56...4:59:57...4:59:58...4:59:59...5:00.00The five minutes were up: as promised, when discounting Cysero's last goal, the score was 2-1 and Naria had beaten him. Humiliated again, except this time with an audience. He was a bloody spectacle.Alright, Naria. You win, he opened his mouth to say, but something in his mind told him not to give her the satisfaction. Downtrodden and alone, Cys made his way to the shower room.-Teezy

IC:Aside from my own, you mean...? The Vortixx thought to herself with a minimal smirk crossing her face. "I am afraid I do not of any worth pursuing." she lied to the other Vortixx, looking around slightly to keep an eye on their surrounding. At the same time though, her thoughts began to act up. Perhaps a bounty-hunter such as this could be useful to here...she would have to consider the option.

IC (Garren, Ta-Wahi temple): Garren brought the other end of his blade up vertically, blocking the blade that slid at him. He spun the blade, then broke it back into two blades, throwing Vitiate's blade off-center for a second. Fortunately, that was all Garren needed. He pressed his attack, holding one sword forward, one sword backward. He slashed diagnoally towards Vitiate's right shoulder with the forward-pointing blade, then slashed at the legs with the backward-facing one.-Bane

IC: Pantak"Okay, I surrender. But I still don't know what this is all about." he said, raising his hands.

IC: Kryza"All right, good," said Kryza. Then he fired a blast of ice from his sword, freezing Pantak solid.OOC: I think that I have permission for that auto hit, seeing as your guy just surrendered. If I'm wrong, correct me.

IC-Vitiate:Vitiate blocked the blade coming to his shoulder with his own blade, before throwing down a gauntleted hand, blacking the blade coming to his legs from the other direction. He then launched himself forward with a powerful headbutt to Garren.IC-Naria:Naria walked back to take her own shower, getting ready to undress, before she noticed one rather important thing.Only one shower here, seeing as the other room was locked."Oh, karz," she muttered, Cysero most likely hearing her over the water.

IC: Cysero (Kolhii Stadium, Ta-Koro)Cys, meanwhile, was contemplating drowning himself - or maybe hanging himself - inside the shower when he heard Naria show up. He groaned mentally as he realized that the other shower had been left locked."You close your eyes, I'll get a towel, you can come in," he said.-Teezy

IC-Naria:"Erm...Alright," Naria mumbled, trying not to blush. Before she'd even realised there was only the one shower, she had opened up this one...Thankfully, Cysero didn't notice.Not like you weren't hoping for him to.Oh, shut up. That wouldn't be good, that'd be terrible.Please, you'd work your way around it.I said shut up.

IC: Cysero (Kolhii Stadium, Ta-Koro)Cys came out several seconds later wearing a towel and walked towards his locker, getting dressed and sitting at the entrance waiting for Naria to finish.-Teezy

IC-Naria:Naria finished quickly, redressing and moving back towards the entrance, when she noticed that Cysero...wasn't really paying attention to anything. She groaned mentally, thinking of what she'd have to fix now, and sat down beside him."Out with it, Cysero," Naria said. "You've been like this for a couple hours now, and that is definitely not normal. What's wrong?"

IC: Cysero (Kolhii Stadium, Ta-Koro)"Wha happen?" asked Cysero, snapping his head over to Naria quickly. "Uh...nah, I'm fine. Just didn't get a lot of sleep, I guess..."He realized how bad that sounded as soon as he said it, and he rolled his eyes and muttered, "You know what I mean, right?"Oops. Did it again.-Teezy

IC-Naria:Naria rolled her eyes, and smiled slightly, though with a small sigh."I didn't get much sleep either, if you remember," she joked. "But that's not the problem, and I can tell."

IC: Cysero (Kolhii Stadium, Ta-Koro)"No, I'm fine. Just don't worry about me."Translation: If someone is going to worry about me, I'd really like it to be you.-Teezy

IC-Naria:"Cysero, just tell me," Naria said, somewhat forcefully. "I can't help if I don't know, can I?"Translation: I don't know what's wrong, but if I can fix it, I will.

IC: Cysero (Kolhii Stadium, Ta-Koro)"I just...want you to be happy."-Teezy

IC-Naria:"Alright, that's part of it," Naria said, trying and failing to prevent the light blush that came to her cheeks. "I can already tell that isn't all of it, though. Tell me more." The one thing Naria left out was the she felt the same way. Cysero would probably be able to figure it out, though.

IC: Kryza"All right, good," said Kryza. Then he fired a blast of ice from his sword, freezing Pantak solid.OOC: I think that I have permission for that auto hit, seeing as your guy just surrendered. If I'm wrong, correct me.

OOC: I'm pretty sure that's allowed.IC: Pantak was hit by the ice, freezing him solid.

IC: Jilsud, Ta-Koro"Any people willing to purchase bodyguards? Mercenaries?" Jilsud asked, having no idea that this Vortixx had a larger bounty than anyone he had ever hunted.

IC: AiriasAirias tumbled across the ground, then while he was stunned, the zamor hit im. It started to drain his energgy, so Airias charged his tool with elemental energy,Arias made a concentrated orb of flame in the tool, and used the tools charged energy to maintain it. When Hantak tried to rob him, he would be blasted and badly burned.

IC: Hantak stayed back, noticing the flame. He then shot another Zamor at Arias, hoping to drain his energy further.

IC: Cysero (Kolhii Stadium, Ta-Koro)"It's...I'm thinking about quitting Kolhii."-Teezy
