BZPRPG: Ga-Wahi

IC: Emotia - Casa Juturna, Ga-Wahi -Emotia cringed hearing the ripping sound, without warning she pulled Labelle back from the window and immediately checked the rip. Thankfully it was only a minor rip. Emotia sighed. "It's alright...it's not too bad, it can be fixed. Maybe you should um...take it off for now." IC: Havon - Ga-koro -With Dekuna pointing the correct direction, Havon activated his mask and took to the skies, within moments he spotted Miha and flew in front of her, dropping to the ground to block her path. "I know it's you controlling her Iris...you can't fool us. Now, we can do this the hard way, or the even harder way. Which is it gonna be?"

IC-Nokth:Nokth gave Wrath a wary eye, though he refrained from getting his weapons out-it wouldn't do well to fight with any of Decaia's possible allies, especially because then it'd be all of them against one of him.Bad odds.

IC:Random Le-Matoran NPCThe Le-Matoran looked up at Havon in shock. She looked very similar, almost identical to Miha, but it wasn't Miha. Miha was inside a house, as BioBeast said in his post. "I'm sorry, can I help you?"

IC: Havon - Ga-koro -"Oh sorry...my mistake..." Havon said apologetically. The matoran shrugged and walked away, Havon scanned the area carefully for any sighs of Miha while waiting for the others to catch up.

IC: [Naona]"Rynekk, are you hitting on me?"

IC: YickYick pulled Nidiak through Ga-Koro, looking for Slannak and her stupid friend. He stopped near the edge of the village, and shouted "HEY! SLANNAK! MORONIC TOA OF PLANTLIFE! WHERE ARE YOU TWO!?"

IC: I yelled back "I AM A TOA OF THE GREEN! PLANTLIFE SOUNDS LIKE BAD TREESPEAK!" I muttered "Skakdi.."

IC (Greed)Greed smiled again, although, upon closer inspection, Decaia could see that it didn't reach his eyes. They remained stone cold, eyeing the Toa of Water's every move."I'm sure I must object," the Toa of Air replied. "You sound like a fascinating fellow. I could use some... intelligent conversation for a change."Wrath growled behind him. Greed gestured back towards the Koro, a friendly smile still playing about his lips. "I insist."

IC - Decaia - Docks: Decaia's gaze shifted back to the Toa of Air's companions. "You mean to tell me that not one of these three is good for a proper discussion?" he asked. Decaia's shoulders dropped very slightly as he took on a more relaxed posture. "Hm. That's a shame..."He glanced back at the ferry. It seemed that this Toa wouldn't leave until Decaia agreed to accompany him. What a bother. He did have a fair point, though: the fire-spitter looked about ready to rip the Toa of Water's head off, and there was no need to wait around at the ferry--it wouldn't even begin loading passengers for another half hour, at least, having just arrived--so he really had nothing better to do with his time. Plus, free food.On the other hand, the longer he stayed in Ga-Koro, the more likely it was that he would be recognized by someone Potentially, such an event could occur during their friendly meal together, which would completely ruin the mood of the moment--And that's terrible... Although, considering the looks of some of these Toa--the perpetually-angry Toa of Fire, the dirt and grass-covered Toa of Plant Life, and the overall all-too-genial-and-somewhat-off-putting attitude and appearance of the Toa of Air--suggested to Decaia that such a conflict was not foreign to them.Maybe that was it: Decaia almost felt like this group had about as much morality as he did--which wasn't saying much, all things considered. With each new thought, Decaia was becoming increasingly curious about their identities."Well, no matter... All right; if you insist, I suppose I could use a bit of lunch..." he said with an obvious air of disinterest, adjusting his cloak again. "Though, ah... don't be surprised if I attract an air of... well, dissatisfaction... from the populace..." Assuming, of course, that they notice their former guard member... "You don't mind if my servant joins us, do you?" He gestured to Nokth.

IC: Yick"SHUT UP AND GET OVER HERE YOU STUPID CREATURE!"

IC (Desilix):"Who's this?" Desilix asked.

IC: I really wished Yick wasn't Slannak's friend and that I wasn't a toa team leader right then. "I'M COMING! PATIENCE" I walked to Yick as I explained that Yick and the unfortunate toa of iron with him were Slannak's crew.

IC: I glanced at Malik. "Well, that was...different," I muttered.

IC: Malik"Yup," I said, wrap my arms behind my head, and walking casually towards, well no where in particular actually. "All though considering how things on this island seem to become weirder and weirder I can' I'm surprised." I chuckled. "So Vicky, what brings you do this part of the island. It's not exactly supposed to be a hub for visiting Fire-Spitters, y'know?" I chuckled, not realizing the current irony of the situation here in Ga.

IC"You might want to go and apologize to the girl later..." Agni said, patting me on the shoulder. He wasn't a bit angry, or even disappointed, which surprised me. "You were good...for about five seconds. You're not there yet. If you really need to burn off excess energy that bad, you need to do it in a place where nobody is in harms way or your power is contained." He then looked at Cael. "Speaking of which...would you mind helping a bit more? If you can create spheres of water or something similar that he can stick his hands into, he could practice and focus, without worrying about burning civilians. Better than mere standing around."I saw her shrug a reply. "I can try. But fire needs oxygen to burn, so a sphere of water probably wouldn't be very helpful. You would have only seconds before it went out. A better way might be to find a stretch of beach outside the Koro to practice on." Agni didn't hear her, or at least didn't acknowledge a reply. Whatever this conversation was about, it was hitting him deeply. Whoever this person was, Agni must of known him, or her, well. I took a half a step forward and whispered behind his ear."I'll let you be. Do what you have to do, then come back and meet us. As Cael suggested, we'll be on the beach, blowing off some steam."I stepped back, grabbing Cael by the elbow and beckoning her away. Together we made our way over the bridge and out of the Koro, leaving Agni behind. Once outside the Koro limits I I breathed out, letting myself relax after yet another mishap."Well, at least he gave me a compliment." I muttered, my voice not sounding as pleased as my words would suggest. "Despite the fact that the fire could have... bah." I waved my hand, trying to summon a controlled flame. All I got was a few hot sparks and embers. In fact, nothing I did produced any sort of flame. "Why can't I... can't produce... "Frustration. Anger. Why wasn't this working!? Last time I got all emotional I nearly leveled... no, I didn't though. Scary enough to go through, now I was thinking about-Fear.I paused mid-step, the realization striking me to the core. I was afraid. So far every time I used my Toa power I nearly either killed someone or did massive damage. Right now I was afraid of my own gift, and that was blocking my ability to use it. Fear was paralyzing me.Fear. An emotion that up until recently I hadn't experienced much. Now I was dealing with it on a nearly hourly basis. Heavily I sat down in the sand, a slight sense of dejection rising into my throat. I sighed.Did every Toa go through this? Could others relate to this, or did they just simply know off the bat?

IC: MerlaMerla wandered around town looking for KaithasIC: ValjaValja groggily got up to her feet. She was hurting all over. "Owwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww," she groaned.She walked off, in search of a spa.

IC: I waved at Merla. "You might wanna come over here before I root this Skakdi into the ground."

IC: MerlaMerla started walking over to Kaithas when she suddenly stopped. It was a clairvoyant vision; she hadn't had one for a long time. She was standing in a stone ring with the spirits of her sorcery tradition whirling around her, and they were... Saying something to her. "For for for for the for the for the ever for the the ever growing the ever growing might growing might the toa might the toa 6 must the toa 6 must unite..." The jumble of voices continued on and on. She eventually came to the conclusion that those random words were "For the ever growing might, the toa 6 must unite"

IC: I glared at Yick and then rushed to Merla, who had frozen. "Hey. Are you okay?"OOC:: if Yick wants to yell some more, out if anyone else wants to interrupt, go ahead.

OOC: Yick always wants to yell some more. IC: SlannakSlannak ran over after Kaithas. "What's happening? Is she okay?"IC: YickYick left Nidiak on the ground and began to walk towards Slannak and the strange Toa she was helping. "HEY! WHAT'S GOING ON OVER THERE!?"IC: NidiakNidiak remained on the ground. He poked his head up."Where are you going, Yick? Are you just going to leave me here?"

IC: Agony/ReaverReaver laughed, but not in her usual, giggly sort of way. No, this laugh was full of contempt. It quickly clamp Reaver's hand over her mouth, before placing both of them behind her back, and whistling innocently.

IC: Havon - Ga-koro -"Oh sorry...my mistake..." Havon said apologetically. The matoran shrugged and walked away, Havon scanned the area carefully for any sighs of Miha while waiting for the others to catch up.

IC: (Uar)Uar sprinted up to Havon. "Found her?" he asked.

IC: Rynekk Simul - Beach"No. I never said I wanted to take you on a date. All I'm saying is, that I would be happy to explain the dynamics of dating to you."Rynekk paused briefly, before glancing around at random places in the sky, "Now, if these explanations, say, required a live run-through, I suppose I would not be against the idea..."-Void

IC: I checked Merla's pulse. "She seems fine." Then the vision hit me again. Only this time, another Toa had become visible. It was Merla. "But I think we may have found the 4th Maasi."

IC: Merla"Maasi?" Merla asked.

IC: "The Toa Maasi. " I said. "A new Toa team. Tell me, did you get any weird rhymes while that was going on?"

IC: Merla"yes," she said. "I had a clairvoyant vision. I'm a sorceress and have experience with them but this was the first random one. The spirits of my tradition were speaking to me. I think they were saying 'For the ever growing might, the toa 6 must unite'. But what might? This was the first time I couldn't get an answer in a vision."

IC: I smiled. "Yep. Maasi. You probably didn't get an answer because a few have gotten a similar vision, and it took this form for you."

IC:"Oh no, I'm so sorry!" Labelle felt horrible with herself. She couldn't believe she had just torn Emotia's wedding dress. She just wasn't used to being in one, or the form she had shapeshifted into to better fit the dress. It was all her fault, and now the beautiful golden dress was ruined. And there was Reaver, laughing."I can't believe I just did that, I'll fix it, I promise, I'm so sorry" she said, desperate to be forgiven. She hurriedly tried to take off the golden dress when there was another louder rip, as she lost control of her mask and shapeshifted into a slightly bigger body. "Oh no!"

IC: MerlaSo a bunch of people are getting this vision; what for? Do you know what we're supposed to do?

IC: "If we find the rest, I assume it will be more clear. We have two more to find, as the rhyme mentioned 6."

IC: Emotia - Casa Juturna, Ga-Wahi -Emotia closed her eyes for a moment and took a deep breath before speaking. "Just stop panicking, and take off the dress slowly." She said rather calmly. "It can be fixed, it's alright."

IC (Cael)Cael watched as Joske tried unsuccessfully to summon flame, instead creating only a few sparks, then sit down heavily on the sand, a dejected look on his face.This had to be hard for him. A former Kolhii star, he was used to being in top physical condition. But now his own body was alien, and he struggled to control even the smallest portion of his new powers.Instead of speaking, the Toa of Water sat down next to Joske. They looked out over the bay for a few minutes, then Joske spoke at last, his voice thick."I... I'm afraid of myself, Cael. I want to use my powers, but I can't. I'm a freaking bomb waiting to go off. Some excuse for a Toa I am."The healer was silent for a long time. Finally, she took her eyes from the water and looked at Joske."Do you remember fighting the Tarakava?"Joske nodded, looking slightly confused."Were you afraid then?"He snorted. "Of course I was. I was a freaking Matoran; I was half its size. Not that I'm much better now-"Cael held up a hand, stopping his tirade in its tracks, then continued. "You possess incredible powers, powers that could destroy half a Koro or set a forest ablaze. There's nothing wrong with being afraid of that."Sometimes, fear is the appropriate response. The only people not afraid of anything are the ones too foolish to know what they should be afraid of."If my time as a healer has taught me anything, it's that our bodies are designed to keep us free from harm. We have instincts that keep us safe without conscious choice. When you're afraid, it means your instincts know something can hurt you."But that's all they are: instincts. You can override them, like you did when you took on a Tarakava singlehandedly."Carl chuckled softly. "Did you think becoming a Toa meant that you suddenly wouldn't be afraid anymore? Fear doesn't change, only how we react to it. If you want to be a hero, you need to be willing to do what needs to be done, even when you're terrified."The Toa of Water looked away again, out over the ocean. "I know you said you didn't want philosophy lessons, but those words helped me, a long time ago. Maybe they can help you too."

IC:Labelle tried to copy Emotia and closed her eyes, breathing deeply. But Reaver's laughing just made her more nervous and guilty. "Tell her to stop" Labelle pleaded with Emotia. A bony talon suddenly sprang out of Labelle's forearm, creating a tear in one of the sleeves of the dress. A moment later the talon retreated and disappeared, but the tear remained. "Ahhhhh! Stop it!" Labelle yelled at her mask.

IC: [Naona]Naona sighed. "No thank you. I'll be able to deal with it myself."She paused for a moment."But anyway, Hari, time to head back to Po-Koro. You can drag Krayn along if you want, but that depends on his superior's decisions."

IC: Utu - Ga-Koro Utu's eyes opened. Sitting up in Praggos' bed he swung his legs over to the edge, letting his large boots touch down on the floor. Leaning forwards he placed his face in his hands breathing deeply.It was apparently morning now, and he'd need to speak to Dorian soon. He quickly scanned the room, looking for Praggos. Breathing out again Utu stood up slowly, seemingly filling up the room. Utu checked his Mark again. He still had clocked in a little under a dozen days left.What was next?Yuru he supposed. At this point, Utu had already figured out how exactly he would kill him. The idea first came into being when Utu came across something in a book he had swiped from Arekule's desk. It was perfect.He walked into the next room to see Praggos asleep on the floor.Stepping over to the Mark Bearer of Contempt he nudged the Toa with his foot, turning him over.

IC-Praggos:However, once nudged over, it was evident that Praggos was most definitely awake, and had been since the sun had first poked into the room-he had merely been thinking."Yes?" he asked, moving his hands from under his chin to resting on his chest.

IC: Utu - Ga-WahiUtu stepped over Praggos towards the window peering outside, half expecting to see a Toa of iron watching from across the street, "Did Dorian tell you where to meet him? Cause he didn't tell me."

IC-Praggos:"No," Praggos said slowly, "But I would assume that, after the fight you two had, bar is most likely out of the question...as well as the rest of that block. The docks, well, I'll have to tell you about later...Really, I have no idea. I assume he'll find us-if not, go hunting for him. Ga-Koro isn't too large."

IC: KraynKrayn raised a hand. "I'm technically on vacation, anyway. And I have an enormous stockpile of vacation time. So that won't be a problem for a while."

IC: Rynekk Simul - BeachRynekk shrugged, "Right, ma'am. S'cool."He slipped his duster back on, before sliding his hands back into his pockets, "Anyway, there's no rush to leave for me. Ga-Koro is one of the few places I can stay in with a clear conscience."-Void

IC: (Uar)Uar sprinted up to Havon. "Found her?" he asked.

IC (Dekuna): "No sign yet" the toa of sonics replied. "Let's split up and keep looking. She can't be too far away". He started back towards the shoreline, listening carefully for any sound that could be linked to Miha. There was a lot of other noise coming from all over the village, but he tried to screen out those sounds like the seabirds calling and the waves crashing onto the beach.
