BZPRPG: Kumu Islets

IC: Dorian (The Final Problem, Xa-Koro)"Here," he said, scooting the lava cake over to her. "I'll save that for you. I just need a banana split or something..."-Teezy

IC: NikarraNikarra finished the sundae surprisingly quickly, and decided it would be better to pace herself with the lava cake. She was a little surprised when she found out that it was melted in the centre, but decided after eating a little of it that it was much better than normal cake. I ought to look up who thought of that.

IC: Dorian (The Final Problem, Xa-Koro)Whereas Naara probably would have given him flak for wasting his money buying out the dessert section of the kitchen, Nikarra was like Dorian in her childlike glee at the number of concoctions that could be dreamed up with enough sugar; that just made this little culinary walkabout all the more fun. As Dorian wolfed down another banana split, he moved towards one of the brownie sundaes and began to go to town on it.-Teezy

IC: NikarraAfter finishing the lava cake, Nikarra wasted no time in moving on to one of the ice cream sundaes, switching between taking massive amounts and trying to slow herself down when she realised she was.

IC: Dorian (The Final Problem, Xa-Koro)Dorian's stark eyebrow raised slightly, and he grinned at her: Nikarra's attention was caught by the look, and she stopped eating momentarily."Take it easy, love," he said, laughing. "Eat too fast, and you'll screw up your physique, and that'd be a tragedy."-Teezy

IC: NikarraAfter Dorian's comment, Nikarra blushed a little, and became a good deal more conscious about her speed, taking smaller amounts, and more slowly.

IC: Dorian (The Final Problem, Xa-Koro)"Ugh," he said after a few more minutes, lying down. "I am stuffed. I feel like a glutton."-Teezy

IC: NikarraNikarra lay down beside him, having stopped just early enough not to feel completely full. Although she still doubted anything more she ate would actually stay eaten.

IC: Dorian (The Final Problem, Xa-Koro)"I'd embrace you or something, but I don't want you to puke all over the bed."-Teezy

IC: Nikarra"Yeah." Nikarra almost laughed, but decided against it.

IC: Dorian (The Final Problem, Xa-Koro)"Does this work?" he asked, rolling Nikarra over and kissing her.-Teezy

IC: NikarraInstead of answering, Nikarra kissed Dorian again.

IC: Dorian (The Final Problem, Xa-Koro)"Mind if I ask you something?" he asked, pulling the Toa of Lightning off of him for a moment and looking into her eyes. "If you know who I am, and you know why I'm here...why stay?"-Teezy

IC: Nikarra"I... I'm not sure..." Nikarra paused, a thoughtful expression crossing her face. "Because... I think... I want to."

IC: Dorian (The Final Problem, Xa-Koro)"That would mean a lot more if you didn't sound so surprised when you said it," he joked, lifting her on top of him and letting her use his sternum as a pillow. "As it is...thanks. You're one of a handful of people who have said that."-Teezy

IC: Nikarra"You're welcome." Nikarra whispered the words, so quietly that they were only just audible - although she had no doubt that Dorian had heard them.

IC: Dorian (The Final Problem, Xa-Koro)Dorian tried to smirk, but he was suddenly hit with a wave of extreme fatigue, and he sighed once before closing his eyes. He fell asleep, Nikarra still in his arms and curled up on his chest.-Teezy

IC (Bane, Kumu islets): Bane turned to Secer. The toa signaled to him and Secer moved toward him. "What did you find?" he asked."That D is a murderer, and is wanted in several areas for murder and other crimes. The matoran I talked to wouldn't say much more. He said he had a contact in Ga-Wahi, and gave me his address.""Go follow it up. I want all the info you can find on him. Oh, and try to find the origins of the other members, too."Secer nodded, clasped Bane's wrist, and headed toward the beach... again.OOC: Secer to Ga-Wahi.-Bane

IC: NikarraSoon after, Nikarra fell asleep herself.- - -Nikarra stood beside Dorian. Somewhere, deep in her mind, she recognised this dream. She had had it before.It had that eerie quality that dreams often do, where the background simply fades away into a dull grey, almost as though it isn't there. She tried to wake up, but she couldn't control her movements. She looked over at Dorian, and then straight ahead. Before her there was a mirror.She was reflected in it, exactly as she was. But the figure that stood beside her certainly wasn't an accurate reflection.Right where Dorian should have been, was a strange Toa, hunched and deformed. She tried to look away, but even as she did, she noticed the similarities. The reflection was a monster, but it was still him. It was still Dorian.She tried to pull away, but it was no use. The figure in the mirror stepped forward, reaching out...- - -Nikarra cried out, her breaths sharp. She looked around. She was back in the room, lying with Dorian. She looked up at the clock - it was morning. She slowed her breathing, trying to calm herself down. It was just a nightmare. Nothing more.OOC: A time-skip and a question answered.

IC: Dorian (The Final Problem, Xa-Koro)"Dowha?" asked Dorian, snapping forward. "What happened? What's wrong?"-Teezy

IC: Nikarra"Nothing... just a bad dream..."

IC: Dorian (The Final Problem, Xa-Koro)"You want to talk about it?" he asked, eyes brimming with mild concern. "You look pretty freaked."-Teezy

IC: NikarraNikarra gulped, and then sighed. "No, it's fine."

IC: Dorian (The Final Problem, Xa-Koro)'Dorable grinned and kissed Nikarra on the cheek before standing up and moving to brew some coffee."How'd you sleep?" he asked her over his shoulder.-Teezy

OOC: Edited previous post to kill two birds in one stone. They can still be moved.IC: Following the purchase, Naara and Hau booked a ride on the ferry to Le-Wahi. They left in minutes.OOC: Naara and Hau to Le-Wahi.

IC: Dorian (The Final Problem, Xa-Koro)Nikarra didn't immediately answer; his mouth was set in a confused diagonal line, and he moved forward and wrapped his arms around her abdomen, slowly smiling again."If I have to, I will take extreme measures to cheer you--AGGH!"In his mind's eye, he was watching from the water as a Toa of Gravity and a Toa of Sonics walked along the beach, away from the dying sounds of battle, and before his eyes a vine came out of nowhere and swung at a third Toa who had joined. Tillian - for that was who the Toa of Gravity was - jumped forward and pushed her away, and Dorian smirked in satisfaction as he watched the Bearer hit the ground, his side ripped apart by the vine. A blur...and then he was at a hospital, watching as Tillian was operated on, watching as the blood drained out of his body, watching as his Mark began to suck in on itself until it was a spot of golden light, watching as it finally died and Tillian became freed from his curse."We need to move, Dorian," came a familiar voice out of nowhere. "You know what to do." Utu...Then he blinked, looking for the Mark Bearer of Fear, and he was in Xa-Koro again, a concerned-looking Nikarra meeting his gaze. The assassin was acutely aware of the bright glow of his Mark."We need to move," he muttered. "I'll explain on the way..."OOC: Dorian and Nikarra to Ga-Wahi.-Teezy

IC: CalebosThe half of a ship became nothing but driftwood. Alebos was on a big chunk of it, knocked out from the attack. The bug chunk of driftwood landed on the shore, he was still out cold.

IC: Thrak:The Toa, Slaver of Plantlife strode in through Xa-Koro and the area surrounding it, looking for possible victims for him to capture.OOC: You know what that means...

IC: CalebosCalebos finally woke up...he was on a beach, surrounded by driftwood...where was he? He looked around and went forward off the beach, looking for a village.

IC: Dorian (Xa-Koro)Dorian whistled slightly as he stepped off the boat: he'd already sent Nikarra ahead to the casino to make sure that their room stayed heated and there was breakfast. He himself decided to take the "scenic route," walking through Xa-Koro and deciding to explore the village a little before heading back to the Problem.-Teezy

IC: CalebosCalebos kept walking, looking for a village, till he found Xa-Koro and walked in. He was scared...where was Zacax?

IC: Thrak:The Slaver eventually stumbled across Calebos. Innocent defenseless Matoran? Profit."Why hello thar!" Thrak exclaimed with a shout.

IC: CalebosCalebos jumped and turned around, and jumped again and fell. "W-who are you?" he asked nervously,

IC: Dorian (Xa-Koro)"Keep it down, wingnut," said Dorian with a cocky smirk as he walked by. "Nobody wants to hear you flirt with random Matoran, least of all me."-Teezy

IC: Thrak:"A friend," The slave reassured, bowing with his plant-arm, "Here to help!"

IC: Calebos"...uh...Zacax said not to talk to people I don't know.." Calebos said, "including those with plant arms..."

IC: Thrak:"No need to worry!" He exclaimed again, "Whoever it is that you're searching for, I'm sure I can help! Besides, it's better for two people to search this island than one, eh?"

IC: Alia, Bofor (from Onu-Wahi)Alia landed the Gukko on the islet and tethered it to a tree. It was a convenient new addition. She then carried her unconscious boss back to their cave."Howitzer, wake up," she growled, slapping the Vortixx."Wassa, waddayaneed?" Bofor mumbled, looking up.That was a start.

IC: Dorian (Xa-Koro)"I'll bet you a hundred widgets that his search leads you to a slave colony, kid," Dorian said idly as he stared through a shop window, examining a jacket. "Willing to take the wager?"-Teezy

IC: Calebos"...I don't know you..." he said,
