BZPRPG: Ga-Wahi

IC: LathonLathon looked at Deslix, "I remember seeing you at Pala-Koro." he said. "I was with my Matoran friend Nawal." he said. "We found you knocked out outside the Koro." he said. "Strange how we have met again, and now we are apart of the same team of Toa." he said. "You had a vision as well? Strange..." he said.

IC: "Hmmmm. Weird. Maybe we're fated for more than fighting Makuta."

IC (Nawal):"Don't forget what we're here for Lathon. Hey, maybe we can ask them to help us."

IC: LathonHe nodded, "I don't see him anywhere, I have a feeling he saw me following him so he left for another Koro." he sighed. "We will just have to keep an eye out for him." he said to Nawal.

Kale Ironshpaer- Ga-wahi- FowardiIC: ThumpKale had been working on a small table when one of the Po-koro Guardsmen had flown onto the deck and landed rather ungracefully on his mask. He stood up and glanced over at the shore, seeing the rest of the Guardsmen running along it."They're coming back!" he shouted to the rest of the crew.

IC: "Who are you guys hunting, anyway?"

IC (Nawal):"A Toa who was responsible for the death of my entire village"

IC: I looked shocked. "We have to stop him as soon as possible."

IC (Nawal):"I agree, we need to find out at least why he did it. We shouldn't kill him if.... when we find him. That would be stooping to his level."

IC: Havon - Ga-koro -"Guys...you better leave, it's the only way to be sure if I win that you guys didn't aid me somehow." Havon was many things, but not a cheater, and besides, Iris might not keep the end of his bargain if he suspected any cheating.

IC (Dekuna): When he found the rest of the team, Dekuna allowed a little sound to reach his ears. It was just enough for him to hear the conversation, though still heavily dampened."I will go" Dekuna decided. "But I won't be absent. I will walk two blocks in that direction, and then I will listen. I will hear everything that goes on, but you have my word of honour that I will not interfere unless it is to save one of your lives".With that, he turned on his heel and left, exactly as he said he would.

IC: "Don't worry. If I killed him it would be accidental." A smirk spread across my face. "I might, however, encase him in a tree."

IC:Mata Nui was truly a wonderous island, Agni though, as he stood calmly on the sand, looking at the waves rolling out on the beach in front of him. The forests and mountains, the landscape in the different Wahi were all sights to behold; temples and ruins from centuries ago, sheltering ancient mysteries and artifacts; and the wildlife was a dangerous as it way impressive. If one happened to be in the right spot at the right time he could see some of them first hand. Swarms of wild Gukko, acending into the skies above Le-Koro; Takea sharks hunting for fish and carelss birds in the waters around the Island, Muaka stalking the forests...And sometimes, just sometimes, a Toa of fire was flying through the air, propelled by physical force and a blast of flame, only to fall into the water of Naho bay with an enormous splash and a cloud of steam. The Toa of fire crossed his arms. Just a moment later, his younger adversary errupted from the waves again, arms flailing as he breached the surface, trying to find balance in the moving water while attempting to mount another attack. But the unexpected flight had broken his cocentration, or the sudden contact with water was proving to be a mental barrier keeping him from summoning his powers, but whatever it was, the fire wouldn't come to him. On the outside, Agni maintained his calm, professional expression as he watched Joske trudged out of the water and back onto the beach of the bay. On the inside however he couldn't help but to admit that teaching Joske a few lessons did feel good. It was a friendly way to get back at him for the 'better than you' attitude he often had. The Toa of fire understood full well where it came from of course; the fame the good Kolhii players had naturally had some effect on them. And who could blame them? As a Kolhii-champion Joske definitely had the right to be as cocky as he wanted. As a Toa of fire however, he was a long way away from earning that right again. And until he did, Agni decided he would remind him every now and then to remain well-grounded. Literally if he had to.And the first real lesson seemed to stick already. Joske stood before him, soaked and beaten, but with a lopsided smile, that Agni gladly returned."Is that 'teachable moment' still there? Or are you going to call it a day?"He raised an eyebrow."Well, I can show you a little trick that'll help with inpromptu baths like that." Agni walked past Joske, who turned around, keeping his eyes on him, as he bent down and held his hands into the surf. With his hands dripping wet, he turned back around, stopping in front of Joske. He held out his lower arms, palms facing upward. "Focus on the energy in you. It's the fire you feel that wants to fight its way out during those emotional moments. Take control of it; then let it spread throughout your body, right down to your fingertips and then..."The water on Agni's hands suddenly began to steam, evaporating withing two seconds. "...turn up the heat. You'll never need a towel again."He patted Joske on the shoulder and started walking, turning him slightly as he did, indicating for them to return to Cael and Wiremu."Good moves by the way. Predictable right now, but keep those in mind for later and they won't see you coming."OOC: Thanks for the cool Agni-moment Tuck ^^

IC: YickYick smirked. "Don't worry, you won't have to kill him. I'd gladly do it."

IC: "Whether he lives or dies will be decided AFTER we know the whole story."

IC: [Naona]Naona landed onto the deck. "The others will be coming up soon."

OOC:Yes, the fact that her mark was fuled by determination was revealed multiple times. Also, since CK has not posted as Zealokan, but has posted in this topic after my post, I’m going to assume Zealokan headed off with Dekuna.IC:Iris!MihaAfter both Zealokan and Dekuna had walked away, the possessed Matoran tossed away her disk launcher. “I won’t need any weapons to beat you, you irresponsible excuse for a Toa." Using her own knowledge of fighting unarmed, Iris settled into a fighting stance. "Bring it."

IC: Yick"You evidently don't know much about Skakdi."IC: SlannakSlannak picked up Nidiak off the ground. "Come on, let's go see Kaithas and help him do whatever he's doing." She slung the Toa of Iron over her shoulder and walked off to the library.

IC: Merla"I agree," she said in response to Kaithas. "He must have a reason of some sorts. Unless he's insane. Then he diesn't have a reason we can comprehend."IC: ValjaValja got out of the spa and saw Kaithas outside the library. "What happened?" she asked.

OOC: Timeskippiness!IC (Jin)The sun had just risen by the time Dorian and I made it over to the docks. The Xa-Koran ferry was there, bobbing in the water. The boat looked pretty seaworthy compared to all the boats around it, which were mostly just fishing boats. It needed to be, to make the journey from Ga to Xa a couple times a day, pretty much every day of the year.A couple other beings lounged around on the docks; the ferry wasn't close to being full. But I knew from experience that it would leave at sunrise anyway.You didn't want to keep people like me waiting.The captain started up the boat, breaking the early-morning silence. We climbed on, and stood on the deck as the ferry pulled away from the dock, gaining speed as it purred out of the harbour. For a moment, I was blinded by the sunrise; then the ferry turned and began to sail south, towards the Kumu Islets.I smiled; I couldn't wait to get there.OOC: Jin and Dorian to the Kumu Islets.

IC: Tangrua, TegamTangua hopped off the cart and whispered something into Tegam's ear.Tangrua stepped up and said " Not that I care, but seing how determined that Iris is to make a fool out of me and my compainions, I would like to add something to the conversation" Then he walked right up to iris/miha and slapped her on the face as hard as he could. It wasn't that hard, as Tangura wasn't the strongest Po-Matoran on the block, but it was hard enough to sting, and it also was completely unexpected.Meanwhile, Tegam walked up to Dekuna "Lets go" he said, and then seing the blank look on his companion's face, he took the iron filings off his blade, and spelled out what he was trying to say in the air. Dekuna looked at him confused. Tegam spelled "1 on 1, Miha asked you to leave." Dekuna nodded, and the two went to twoards the hospital. As soon as the rounded a corner, Tegam immediately started signing "Can you make it so we can tell something to Havon without Miha hearing? I need to deliver a message to him from Tangrua. Miha said that her mark is fueled by determination. If Havon is not determined to beat her, then her mark won't have any power. But he can't be determined not to beat her either. Its confusing. He just can't be determined. Can you tell him that?"OOC: A little bit of bunnying, if you have a problem with that lorax, let me know. Delivering the message is still up to you.

IC: LathonHe shook his head, "If I find him... he will die by my hands." he said. "I will finish what I started." he said coldly.

IC: YickYick motioned towards Lathon. "This guy's got the right idea."

IC (Nawal):"No Lathon, NO. We will not do what he did to my village. I know he deserves it, but we will keep him alive. I remember talking to Serbi, a friend from my village, and he said that there were some circumstances that justified the death penalty. And I, too, would love to see him die in the worst way possible. But we will give him what we did not give my village: A second chance. We will let him live in honor of thoes who died. And every day he wakes up in his cold cell, he will have to be grateful that his enemies let him live, and regret he ever decided to kill my village. In my opinion, that is worse punishment than death: not letting him die."

IC: Lathon"He doesn't deserve a second chance." he said. "It is not your decision to make, I slayed his minions, it was I who killed them. So it will be me who kills their master." he said.

IC (Nawal):"But a lifetime of imprisonment would be much worse than death. He would be forced to rethink his actions every day for the rest of his life, and not being able to do anything about it. Some days, he may wish for death. And this is very much my decision, I speak for my whole village, since I was the left hand of our Turaga. He was a very peaceful Turaga, and did not believe in harming anything at all. If a fly got into his hut, he would open the door and put a bowl of sugar just outside, and waited for it to leave. Not once would he swat at it. He believed that guilt is the worse of all punishments, not death, and I couldn't agree more."

IC: Yick"See, we'd be doing him a favour killing him. We're nice."

IC: Utu - Ga-Koro BarUtu stood up, motioning to the door at Praggos, "I'm assuming Kearrstrun has access to krillactum?"

IC: Havon - Ga-koro -Havon knew he was gonna have some trouble, no matter what he did, he knew couldn't keep himself from feeling determined, cause of course he was. Then again, that fact made victory seem all the more impossible, but at the same time...Havon shook his head, that one was gonna hurt his brain for a long time. Now, Iris may of decided not to use a weapon, but that didn't mean he couldn't. He drew his fire-sword, which began to shine brilliantly with flames. Havon didn't want to hurt Miha, but he realized he was gonna have to, it was the only way to save her. With that in mind, he reached out with his weapon and launched a fireball straight at Miha's chest.

IC:Iris!Miha("Dude, did that Matoran really just slap me? For absolutely no reason? After this is over I'm totally gonna break his hand or something.") <-- happens before Dekuna and co. leaves.After Snelly's post.--> Iris watched the fireball headed right at him, before quickly jumping up, using the Mark to enhance Miha's Le-Matoran jumping skills, easily clearing the fireball. Iris landed, and started running at Havon, hoping to turn the fight into an up close and personal fight.

IC: ZakamaZakama wasn't really paying attention to the discussion his new teammates were having. He looked at his group and withdrew his blades, "So... We find this guy, and either kill him or put him behind bars?"

IC: NikarraIt didn't take Nikarra long to realise that Dorian wasn't coming back.She had returned to the inn after her encounter with Somnium, and waited. Eventually, though, like all people do, she got tired of waiting.If Dorian was planning to ditch her... she didn't know. The first place to check would probably be the docks.Sure enough, he arrived there at dawn to board the ferry -- with another woman. Nikarra sighed and shook her head, before boarding the ferry herself, just in time.OOC: Nikarra to Kumu Islets.

IC: Rynekk Simul - FowadiWith his head still fuzzy from his graceful landing on the deck, Rynekk didn't catch anything either Kale or Naona said. However, his cognitive functions were good enough to tell that neither was upset or anxious in any way, so things must have been pretty okay.Bringing his right hand up to his temple, the Toa winced agains the slow, dull ache that was steadily working its way through his jaw, then his neck, and progressively throughout the rest of his body.Obviously there's only so much I can take before my body just gives up, he observed mentally, before stumbling over to a bench by where the Lieutenant was standing, oddly silent as he did so.-Void

IC: Knife into table, stronger than toa...Undefined race, illusionary. More knowledge requi-Wrath caught himself. His eyes, formerly trained on the female 'toa', moved away. To lust would be just going through the motions; the berserker had not been staring at her body out of anything resembling desire. He had been doing far worse.He had reverted to protocol. The same protocol that in younger days was his sword and buckler, the same guidelines spewed forth by the elder-cowards' lapdogs. Protocol was an utter abomination designed to propagate idealist myth that the war could be won if one only set their mind to it and followed the rules and did everything just by the latest edition of a manual or two, thank you very much. He had cursed its name and left it behind long ago. Wrath had thought himself above that opium of the masses; he had felt security against its romantic power.But even he, one who had transcended the lie of society's morality to view life from a unique vantage point, was not safe against what had been drilled into his pitted skull. Wrath had briefly tried to analyze the combat power of the being before him because of it. And this only further assured him of the importance of his cause.In spite of the anger rising within him at this monstrosity and the prideful attitude of the 'toa', the berserker found another thin smile on his lips. He looked down at her with a slight sneer in his dull eyes."Call me 'Wrath'."

IC: LathonHe sighed, "I suppose you are right." he said, understanding the guilt thing. He carried his own guilt already by murdering the Skakdi, killing this Toa of plasma would only add to it. He nodded at Zakama, "Correct." he said.

IC (Nawal):"So Lathon, what is your best description of him?"

IC - Decaia - Restaurant: Decaia stared at Wrath for several moments after the Toa of Fire had spoken, his expression indicating that he was very slightly confused. "... When did you get back here, again?"It was an honest question. The Toa was rather hard to miss, and Decaia hadn't seen him enter the restaurant at all, let alone take a seat with the rest of the group. Probably just a lapse in attention...

OOC: Right, sorry. Forgot to cover that in my haste to finally post.Basically, EW assumed that he was present earlier. So I just acted as though he had finished and slipped inside before Anthyn entered. It's not like he'd just flounce in and exclaim 'HAY GUISE I'M BACK', lul.IC: The berserker's eyes flitted towards the lazy one. He leaned back against the wall, only letting the pain of contact with several of his scars further his constant irascibility."Is that of serious concern to you?"

IC: Lathon"Toa of plasma... orange armor... wearing a black fedora, a cloak, tuxedo and a trench-coat. when I saw him he seemed to be wearing a Matoran mask, but in my memory he had a Huna." he shrugged. "Maybe he lost his old mask." he said.

OOC: It's fine. I just thought his reappearance was rather funny, so figured I'd call attention to it. IC - Decaia - Restaurant: "No," Decaia admitted, taking his glass of lemonade as the waitress returned. "To be honest, I don't really care--just thought I'd confirm that you didn't... spring from the floorboards or something... Well, no matter..." He took a sip of his drink, his closed eyes hidden beneath his hood. "So...."

IC: Zakama"Well that's gonna be a hard guy to find," Zakama said with sarcasm in his voice and a small chuckle.
