BZPRPG: Le-Wahi
Le
IC (Merror)Merror nodded, allowing Skyra to leave."We should probably stay here until he gets back," he said to the others, sitting down.He took a sip of his drink."Well, I suppose we should think about our plans," he mused. "Saying we'll fight injustice is all very well, but we need to think about where to start. Does anyone have any loose ends they need to tie up?"OOC: iPod post
IC: Dalia:Dalia frowned beneath her mask, "Utu, alive? Then I'm going along too. If you're leaving Angel, and I'll be safer with you two."
OOC: Salamander from Ga-Wahi...And wow I can't think of anything to say.IC: SalamanderSalamander landed roughly on the branch of a large tree, his weight causing the branch to tremble slightly. Looking around, Salamander could see little that wasn't bright green in color, and the majority of those that weren't were simply a darker green. Patches of brown were interspersed throughout the area, but it was far too rare to actually be correct.Maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me?
IC:"Somewhere without certain beings hanging around eavesdropping," he replied, his gaze falling on the Hordika . How'd he get out, anyway? He nodded at the beast-Toa "Bad idea to dicuss things in front of him, you know?"
IC: Madrihk"One minute," Madrihk nodded to Kethrye with a telling look. "I'll just speak with him first, then we can talk in private."Turning to Demetrius, he nodded once more."You wanted something earlier, I take it. Sorry for ignoring you; I was already in a conversation with Verik and... Lumira here. Please, go ahead."IC: "Oh, I completely agree," Demetrius cut in without looking up, seemingly far more interested in mending a scratch in the armor on his thumb than Madrihk and Kethyre's conversation. He raised his head to find the two senior ILS members looking at him. He shrugged. "What?"
IC: Kearrstun - Le-Wahi - Angelus' HomeKearrstrun shook his head, "I'd rather keep our location secret, no offense. If Utu were to find out where Tank is (Providing what Tank saw was true) well, I'm sure you're both good enough at math to put two and two together."He looked to Dalia, "I didn't come to ask you to endanger yourselves. I wanted to make sure you have the weapons. Perhaps looking into a second place to hide would be beneficial if things go wrong."
IC: Angel (Treehouse, Le-Wahi)Angel shook his head emphatically."I owe it to Tuara. And Kinvex. And Tank. And every other person that's been hurt by Utu, Dorian, Yuru, and the rest of them," he said quietly. His face was hard and still, almost Dorian-like in its stoicism, and he buttoned up the buttons of his sport shirt calmly as he watched the Toa of Sonics for a reaction. Seeing none, the honorary Guardsmen sharpened his gaze."Kearrstrun, please. I've been fighting this fight since the beginning. I don't want to hide anymore; I don't want to hear second-hand pieces of info. I stopped wanting to do that the moment I laid eyes on Dorian in that totaled village in Ga-Wahi. I want to be there to help end this. If Kinvex were here, he'd be with me, too."-Teezy
IC: Kearrstrun - Le-Wahi - Angelus' HomeKearrstrun's expression was as stone as his mask, "And you owe it to them to stay alive. Kinvex died trying to protect people like you."
IC: Angel (Treehouse, Le-Wahi)"People like me?" Angel asked in disbelief, taking a step forward before Dalia caught his elbow. "Kinvex died because I didn't have time to save him and dismember Yuru when I had the chance. I'm not going to make another mistake like that, especially not with Utu up and walking around. I assume you heard about Dorian?"-Teezy
IC: Kearrstrun - Le-Wahi - Angelus' HomeKearrstrun looked away, ignoring the question about Dorian, "Tuara would want you to stay. Both of you to stay."
IC: Angel (Treehouse, Le-Wahi)"Kearrstrun."Angel took another step forward."If Utu is really back, and Dorian is really alive, and they meet up together, then we're going to have a massive problem keeping things under control. You'll need all hands on deck, and I've been a hand longer than anyone else that's left. I've fought Utu. And Dorian. And Yuru. I know how they fight, I know their habits - well, as well as anyone can know habits for guys like these - and I know how to fight them and win. Tuara wouldn't let an ace in the hole like that go to waste."-Teezy
IC: Kearrstrun - Le-Wahi - Angelus' HomeKearrstrun titled his head, "You think I don't know these people? Did I not watch them and brand them? Help choose them? Do you think I wouldn't study them while we hid? Do you think I don't have a plan?"He took a step forward, his usual flat tone changing, a hint of wildness came into existence on the edge of his tone, "I have a plan, and it doesn't involve you needlessly throwing your life away."The Assistant stepped towards the door again, "I came here to prepare you for a situation that might arise, don't guarantee that it will happen." Before either Toa could respond, Kearrstun was gone.
IC: Angel (Treehouse, Le-Wahi)Angel stared in shocked silence for the span of two moments as Kearrstrun zoomed away and then yelled in frustration, whipping out his kukri and throwing it through the door; the blade sliced through the wood and hung there, shimmering and vibrating and sending out a deep hum for a good sixty seconds before the Toa of Fire moved over to the door and pulled the weapon out.-Teezy
IC: "Ah, yes, that. About the money I lent you..."
IC: Madrihk"Right, of course, the ransom money." Madrihk cursed internally. The ILS had no hard cash funds. It was all volunteer work. "We'll be working on that."
IC: Skyra - Skyra's House, Le-koro -I spent the next hour or so cleaning up the place, not that I expected that I was gonna stay long, but if Mimira came back to this she'd just make it messier..With that out of the way, I walked outside the hut to get some fresh air, stretching a bit. I glaced at my timer. 04:11:36...A little over four days left till I died...I knew I didn't have it in me to create fear...so unless I got really luckly...I was as good as dead in four days...
IC:"Perhaps I can help with that?" Skaarn piped in, interrupting Madrihk's conversation about lent money. He had seen an opportunity to enter the ILS, and he would take it. He would learn about money issues afterwards.
IC: SalamanderSalamander flew above the treetops, searching for signs of Matoran habitation. It had been nearly an hour since he had arrived in Le-Wahi, and there had still been no sign of Matoran or other Toa.Great. I'm lost. Again.Just as he began to think it would be better to go to Ta-Koro instead, Salamander heard the sound of music in the distance. It was faint, but it was clearly recognizable as music regardless. Within a minute Salamander had found the source, and by extension the village of Le-Koro.Yay.OOC: "Salamander heard the Sound of Music."Sal, that should have been your cue to turn around and fly in the opposite direction as quickly as possible. XD
IC: Skyra - Skyra's House, Le-koro -I was just about to go back inside when I noticed a flying red being..it was..Salmander!? "Oi!" I shouted, I wanted to know why he was here in my koro.
IC: Salamander"Oi!"Salamander frowned at the greeting. The voice sounded somewhat familiar, but he couldn't place his finger on who it belonged to. A moment later, Skyra stepped into view and provided Salamander with the answer he had been looking for. Salamander tried to ease his face into something a bit more pleasant before turning to Skyra."Ah... Skyra, right?
IC: Skyra - Skyra's House, Le-koro -"Yeah...and you're Salamander right? What brings you to Le-koro?" I asked harmlessly enough.
IC: Salamander"Nothing in particular. I guess I was getting a bit too comfortable back in Ga-Koro, so I decided to leave. No idea why I chose to go to Le-Wahi, though."
IC: Skyra - Skyra's House, Le-koro -"Well, it's a beautiful place..." I sighed a bit. "I'm gonna miss it..." I said that last phrase slowly, looking up at the tall trees, it seemed like I was talking more to myself than anything.
IC: SalamanderThe tone of Skyra's voice told Salamander that something was going on, and the Toa of Fire's mind immediately began to try to figure out what exactly that was. His first thought was that Utu had managed to come back and Skyra was no longer necessary, but Salamander brushed it off as merely wishful thinking. However, he couldn't quite shake the feeling that it had something to do with the Marks."What's wrong?"
IC, Elianne:(Le-Koro)Elianne shook her head. Unless you counted Kerr, who didn't really count, there were no loose ends on her part.
IC (Weta): "Same goes for me" Weta shook his head. "Like I said, I'd just finished up with getting rid of Pulse's bells when I ran into you yesterday, My ends are all tied up".
IC: Pirok"I have one. Tall, dark, wears a trench coat and has delusions of grandeur. I think some of you might remember him." Pirok looked around at the others in the group.
IC (Weta): "You mean the Shadow?" Weta asked, confused. "I thought he was dead."
IC: Pirok"So did I. But he showed up in Onu-Koro, and I saw him before that in..." Pirok stopped before he finished the sentence -- he didn't need the rest of the group doubting his sanity.
IC (Weta): "Oh, no..." Weta sighed. He had thought the Shadow and his mad plans were at an end, and now learning that they were back was like a slap in the mask."What was he doing when you saw him?" he asked Pirok, just to confirm his suspicions. "Was he still plotting to kill everyone on Mata Nui?"
IC: Pirok"I don't know, but he was plotting something." Pirok sighed. "He's still out there, somewhere. And while he doesn't seem to be capable of doing much damage on his own, he's still a minor threat."
IC:Just as Lashev was voicing his furstration with situation, the curtain to the room was pulled back once again. "Still here, huh?" a clear voice asked. It was Leah again, coming in to check on her friends. She didn't need to go out of her way much to do it either. Working in the adjascent building had that advantage. So she came in regularly. And frankly, seeing the three guys just sitting, waiting for somebody who might very well get the lecture of a lifetime from captain Kongu, she couldn't help but feel sorry for them. At least a little bit. "Hey Leah..." Sisk said, obviously bored and not knowing what to do with himself either. It was weird. At first he was drawn into epic adventures, culminating in a huge battle to destroy the Rama hive; and now...nothing. It was a stark contrast to the previous days and he finally understood why many of the pilots of the force, the marines and guards always seemed to be more eager to go into the field than to stay home in the villages: Once you live that life, ordinary life seemed incredibly dull. At least, it did right now."What can we serve-do for you?" Sisk asked Leah. She smiled. "For me directly, nothing. But I've go a package of tablets and stuff that the Po-Koro guard is supposed to have. Lots of info to share with them after the fights. Interested in helping out?"Sisk looked at his companions. "What do you think-say? Should we quick-fly to Po-Koro?" he asked them. Verdi glanced at Lashev. "Do you think flying is the best thing for him right now?"Leah chuckled. "It'll clear his head, one way or another."Sisk chuckled as well and nodded. "Very well, we shall go-fly to the stone-village." he said.------------------------------As if on cue, Rewera elegantly dropped down from the tree-branches above Ravage. "That was fun." she commented, with a smile. The two surveyed the forest stretching out in front of them. The trees were massive, larger than any she had seen before here; and with little sunlight coming in from above, the undergrowth here was thin. Which allowed the two Toa to spot the reflecting surface of a green pool of water between the trees. Rewera pointed in the direction. "Looks like the right route." she commented. Ravage nodded. They started jogging on the layer of dead leaves covering the ground, headed for the lake.When they arrived, Rewera took a few moments to test the water. It was clear, despite the location; and she used it to refresh herself quickly. A small stream was feeding into the lake, from somewhere in the forest and probably originating in the east, in the mountains. Another was leaving the small lake again. "If we follow that, it should lead us to the coast and Ga-Koro..." Rewera said, looking at Ravage to see wehter he agreed or not.------------------------Aparangi and Mariko were standing in the middle of Pala-Koro, watching the village change around them. It was turning from what had been a camp for freedom fighters into an actual small town in its own right. "I'm not sure how I feel about this." Aparangi said, quietly. Mariko nodded. "They have a serious operation going on here now. I hope their leader knows what he's doing.""So do I." Aparangi said. Mariko thought he caught something in his brothers voice, but decided not to press the issue. Aparangi hated that, as he very well knew, from past experience. "Any news from the others?"Aparangi shook his head. "Nothing. We could probably seek them outselves...but on an Island this tainted..."Mariko nodded. "I know what you mean. Even here...every tree feels like it could be one of them." Aparangi agreed. "Although, in Kehua's defense, he sometimes is a lot like a tree." the Toa added. Aparanig gave a single laugh. "That he is. I hope they find their way here soon.""Come on. Let's check up on Draeverian and his girlfriend." Mariko said, clasping his brother on the shoulder."You should really stop calling her that." Aparangi replied.Mariko grinned. "Using pronouns for 'her' now, are we?""Shut up."
IC (Merror)"Do you have any leads on him?" Merror asked.
IC: Aelynn"Oh gee, thanks," she said, although, Aelynn knew he was right. At the moment, she wouldn't really put up much of a fight. Finally, the Fe-Toa sighed, and said, "Fine, so, where we off to?"Aelynn couldn't believe she had just agreed to go somewhere with him.
IC-Lashev:"Whatever happens," Lashev growled, "I'll take second seat. I'd rather be able to see where I'm going."
IC: A hearty laugh burst forth from Demetrius' throat. "No, no, my friend, you don't understand. I merely wished to inform you that you owe me nothing."
IC- VerakVerak peered inside Pala-Koro's gates, doing his best to look official and dignified as he glanced around the village. It was a pity he did not know what Madrihk looked like. Couldn't be hard to figure out, but he wasn't going to ask. No real, haughty Ko-Koro guard would resort to that.Verak took a few steps back and cleared his throat again. "Does anyone happen to be at this gate? Or may I enter myself?" he addressed the village.It was a bit embarrassing to be ignored. He took a breath. It could be worse, he supposed. The toa threw a glance over to the source of a few random, and quite drunken, mumblings. A Matoran, who was almost comically drunk, leaned (drunkenly) again this ussal, murmuring (drunkenly) about getting through the gate. Wonderful.Verak took a few steps away from him, and waited for an answer from the guards.
IC: LansAfter so waiting for so long, having their patience tried and stretched, Lans' friends wouldn't have to wait any more. Lans was finally done, negotiations with Kongu had been difficult, especially for someone as hot-headed as Lans, but he'd achieved what'ed he'd wanted in the end. He was allowed to make the squad, a squad which would deal with all threats pertaining to Makuta. He was also pardoned from his crimes on the condition that if he screwed up again he would face a much harsher punishment. Oh and as a bonus, the armor he'd requested for Claw-Wing had finally arrived. Made from the what he'd scavenged from the Rahkshi and Large Nui-Rama it was magnificent. Plus it was light enough to not hinder Claw-Wing's speed, and strong enough to block quite a few bows. Claw-Wing also finally had razor-sharp wings.He stepped into the Hut where Sisk, Lashev, and Verdi were, "Sorry, guys, hope I didn't keep you all waiting too long.", he said flashing his cocky grin. "I heard you guys saw quite a bit of action during the Rama Hive Attack. Thanks for bringing pride to this Squad, and the entirety of the Gukko Force."
IC: Auron:"Hmm... I have always wanted to go up north..." He contemplated out loud, "What do you think?"
Skaarn[/b]
IC: Madrihk"Aha! Well, in that case I can only thank you, my friend, for your graciousness. It's no small sum you lent us, you know, and even if it was for the good of the villagers we did end up in that situation through no fault of yours. Surely you'll want something in return."Demetrius
IC: Mevi"I'm here," said Mevi, walking up to meet the Ko-Matoran. "Mevi of the ILS and former Ta-Koro Guard, at your service. What can I help you with?"IC- Verak
IC-Lashev:"And now," Lashev said, repeating a sentiment he'd had for the umpteenth time, "I wonder when I became a member of the Gukko Force. Isn't there some sort of sign-up sheet, or something?"IC-Kemati:Kemati, hearing a familiar voice, looked up, finally noticing how close he actually was to the gates-and then he waved at Mevi with a quick smile.
