BZPRPG: Ga-Wahi

OOC: Great!IC: Lif"You don't get it do you?" I began, "She's throwing up because of our conversation." I explained.

IC: Vrana"Yes, I know that."He replied, glaring down at the Matoran.

IC: Lif"And you don't find it at all amusing that we caused someone to throw up."

IC: Vrana"No, I find it rather unamusing."Vrana replied, not sure what humor the Matoran found in it.

IC: LifI sighed, "Whatever," I decided to go back to drawing.

Amalod wipes her face off with a nearby leave and walks back to the group."Um...sorry about that," she says to them before walking ahead of them, not wanting them to smell her breath. "Anyway, where were we?"-Mef Man

IC: Tank - Ga-Wahi JungleTank sloshed through the jungle, quickly, and with purpose.He came to the edge of the jungle, spotting people in Ga-Koro, crowding around where he beat a Matoran to death.He'd come back later.Instead, Tank started walking along the beach south. Towards Ta-Koro.Tank to Ta-Koro

Ic: Danerys trudged down the path to Ga-Koro, exhausted and tired. Rest had been scarce and food was nonexistent for her, but she was almost there. And then when she finally threw herself through the bamboo stand, the village of water lay right before her. But she could not go on. Collapsing, she fell down on the path mere meters from the entrance to the village.Ooc: I'd say open for interaction, but she's more or less asleep, so "interaction" might be a longshot. XD Still, the offer stands.****Senegal remained limp and kept his eyes closed. He breathed through his nose very softly and slowly, making sure he looked very much dead, or near dead at least. Despite being a fighter, he knew the value of a surrender, and so far this was paying off. After all, had he kept up his game underwater, he would have surely lost and died for real. This was the best option.****Antrim had been observing Pontus as he realized what Senegal did and was mildly impressed with him and how he grabbed the limp body of Senegal regardless. Although curious as to why he did it, he did decide not to attack this person. He had done nothing wrong. Yet.He heaved himself onto the nearest dock, taking a chance that the people on this end of the village didn't know who he was. The noise from his emergence caused him to be oblivious to the toa of air who fell into the water behind him, and so he did not respond, however he did stretch a hand out for Pontus and Senegal."Come, take my hand. Let's get you out of there," he said.****The Toa of Iron's mind tensed, but not his body, when he heard that familiar voice. Antrim! he thought to himself. What is he doing now?

IC; Vrana"I was just trying to get this Matoran to stop annoying me... still am."

IC:PontusPontus heaved Voi's body onto the dock, before taking Antrim's hand. He gestured towards Senegal, then the Toa of Air he had saved. "You know either of these guys?" Pontus asked, feeling the wave of weakness take hold of him. "And/or a doctor?"

Ic: "No doctor, but I do know the toa of iron," Antrim said as he heaved the being onto the dock. "I'll relieve you of him, too," he said. He pointed at the metal lids on his neck. "Looks like you didn't go unscathed, though."

IC:Pontus"Yes, and that brings me back to my original question. The one about a doctor." Pontus replied, panting heavily. "That Iron fellow is quite a fighter, how do you know him?"

"I think we're almost there," called out Amalod.But, where is that exactly?-Mef Man

IC: Vrana"Good, we should be reaching the point where Ta, Ga, and Ko Wahi meet. Then we can head toward the village and hope to find this School."

"Sounds good," she calls out. These names were unfamilar to her, but she would soon learn. She would know the species and names as well as she knew the stars in the sky and the currents in the ocean.-Mef Man

IC: Kurik A gunmetal gray hand busts from the water twenty yards off the coast. Then the rest of the being emerges from the water. Kurik paddles towards the shore of the island, muttering to himself. "Stupid, stupid, stupid! Now I have no clue where in the blazes I am!" He pulls himself out of the water and lays there on the sand, water evaporating off of him from the sunlight. Slowly, he sits up and examines the beach, trying to figure out where he was. Kurik stands up, and heads down the beach to what looks like smoke.OOC: This guy might need some help if anybody comes across him.

Ic: "Yes," Antrim responded quickly, maybe a bit too quickly. "We have-- had a little unfinished business," he said, currecting himself as he hefted the dead weight. "And I thank you for rendering him in his current state. He was a handful for me, and I can only imagine he was for you, too, even in the water," he said, gesturing at Pontus' signs of his true nature, the fins.

IC:Pontus"We was a piece of cake." Pontus said modestly pridefully. "At least until he did this to me." Pontus said, referring to his blocked gills. "And you are welcome, it was a pleasure to help. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to find someone to unblock my gills."

IC: Kurik -- Beach Kurik finally reaches the source of the smoke he saw. Smoke streamed out of the remains of a campfire. He looked areound, trying to see if anyone is nearby. Seeing nobody, he bends down and scoops up sand to place on the fire and put it out. Turning, Kurik delves into the dense jungle, hacking a path through the trees until he reaches a main road. He walks on, and on, and on...TO LE-WAHI

Ic: Wordlessly, Antrim carried Senegal away and left Pontus to his own fate. He strolled past the busy matoran who were repairing the damages done to the docks by the brutal bard, mentally commending their work ethics and condemning Senegal's. Finally, he arrived at a familiar place: the inn. Opening the door to Senegal's room with his foot, he slammed the heavy brute on the bed and closed the door.He turned around slowly, half expecting the fighter to already be on his feet... but he just remained on the bed. "Alright, Senegal. If you're really dead, prove it," he said, approaching and creating a dagger of crystal in his hand. He raised his hand above Senegal's body and plunged it downward to Senegal's abdomen--And was suddenly stopped by a pair of powerful hands as Senegal's eyes fluttered open and he gasped for breath."I thought so," Antrim remarked, stepping away as he conjured a powerful cage of sharp diamond crystals around Senegal, effectively trapping him. "Now let's talk.""Talk?" Senegal blurted. "You weren't interested in that a little bit ago! You wanted to kill me outright already -- and almost succeeded! Thrice!""Times have changed, Bard," Antrim said, taking a seat in a corner. "Do you deserve to live? ... No. You are more guilty now than you were an hour ago, but I will not kill you. Not here and not now.""I can shatter this cage easily," Senegal said, touching one of the spikes around him. "You know that.""And you would find another just like it! Believe me, you would gain nothing from that. There is no use in escaping." Senegal relaxed in his cage, unable to argue with that. "Now that you know I will not kill you, I want to propose to you," Antrim said."I'm not marrying you," Senegal chided. "Your kind of love ain't my type.""Not marriage, you dolt," Antrim responded. "An offer. I cannot cleanse your soul, but I can make you a different man," he said, and then he tacked on, "If you want.""What do you mean?" Senegal asked, completely confused. "Why would you do anything like that?""While I can't argue that you deserve to die as a sinner, I can stave off your punishment. And I need someone to do the things I am unable to do myself. That I cannot do.""You want me to sin for you," Senegal said in realization, mostly to himself.Antrim sat silently for what seemed to be a long while, toying with his fingers and fingering his sword like a toy, before answering slowly and deliberately. "Yes."

IC - Sucogu - OutsideThis whole time, it was now revealed that Sucogu had been reading a map. He then looked up to see a dead Eamerzon. It brought a smile to his face."Good job, uh, team." he said awkwardly.He gestured to a barn."To the Gukko stables!"

IC: Hau nodded. He began to walk towards the stables behind Sucogu-he would've jogged, but master had to keep up.

Ic: Senegal stared at Antrim for a while, thinking over the proposition offered to him. Serve the man who tried so fervently to kill him only an hour earlier? It seemed like a stupid request, really, and the only thing more foolish than offering that job was taking it. He was interested, if only to figure out more about this Antrim."It's not tempting," he said bluntly. "But before I decide, just why did you try to kill me?""Because you are a sinner--""Why do you try to kill 'sinners'?" Senegal blurted.Antrim was silenced, calculating his answer. "We are toa," he started. "We are here to protect and serve the matoran, to safeguard the three principles of our society: Unity, Duty and Destiny. And yet there are many of our kind who go and commit acts of vile nature, who drink and fight instead of protect and serve. That is not what we are here to do," he scolded indirectly."And you think you protect and serve more than I do?" Senegal said."Absolutely!" Antrim roared. "Look at yourself. You fight in rings, drink late in the night and brawl in bars. You injured and likely killed matoran on the docks earlier today!" he fired with spite in his voice. Realizing this, he paused and composed himself again. "You are the farthest thing from a protector I have seen. It is your kind that I hunt, not for the sake of it, but to cure this island of maladies and make it a greater future.""I serve matoran by providing them entertainment that they demand," Senegal replied. "I satisfy their wishes. I protect them by engaging in the fights they would kill themselves in if they entered. We may do things differently, but we serve the same master in our own ways.""No, we do not," Antrim asserted."How do you protect and serve, Antrim, if you only hunt down those you consider sinners?""I am the lord of my own land," he explained. "There, the matoran live a life of work and survival, but they are protected and are content. The maladies of this world do not touch them with me keeping them safe.""An ant farm to show the unbelievers," Senegal quipped, rolling his eyes. "Is that all you've got?""If you are as hard-hearted as you act, then you serve no use for anyone but yourself. Your lack of vision to the future is dismaying.""An entertainer needs no foresight," Senegal clarified."That is a lie you tell yourself," Antrim scolded. "Every entertainer chooses their profession. You chose your own dark path." They once again sat in silence for a long while. The sun had already set, and the lights of the nightlife buzzed around the village. The muffled sound of the matoran flowed through the town to the inn, penetrating the hut through the open windows.Senegal roared in defiance as he raised his hands and shattered the crystal cage he was in with a burst of iron from both his palms. Antrim's warning of another cage proved false, and there was nothing blocking him from the would-be assassin. He charged forward with all the force of a Muaka, intent on devastating the noble at his most sage moment. It would be over there and then, and he would be free from the threat Antrim posed to his life.He almost succeeded. Antrim was up before Senegal made it to him and parried the crushing blow with his strong arms. Stepping slightly to the side, he delivered a crushing blow to Senegal's abdomen that pounded the metal casing over his heartlight, denting it severely. Senegal doubled over in pain, and Antrim pressed onward, first striking at Senegal's jaw, sending concussive force through his head and putting him into a brief daze. Antrim then delivered a crushing strike with his own head to Senegal's, shattering the Kanohi Calix into ten pieces. He then held him down with one arm and hammered the back of Senegal's head with his other hand over and over and over. Whack, whack, whack, whack he went, each strike bringing Senegal closer and closer to blackness which seemed a certain reality without his Kanohi to give him strength.Finally, Senegal hung limp in Antrim's hand and fell to the floor with a thump. Antrim, however, was struck by the irony of it all as he analyzed his hand. It was red with blood, the very sign that had led him to fight Senegal in the first place, a sign of sin.

IC: Vrana"Well, we should be there any time now."He noted, the air was noticeably getting cooler.

The Ga-Toa nods her head as they arrive at their destination.OOC: I'll let one of you describe where we are.-Mef Man

IC: LifI sighed, looked like we had arrived.OOC: Moving to Ko-Wahi, and I can describe, seeing as I have the most experience there.

IC - Sucogu - OutsideHe ran a bit faster. Couldn't let Hau outrun him, right? Incorrect. Hau was definately faster due to his mask."You all can fly, right?" he asked, turning from Hau to Slife.

IC: Slife"I can ride a Gukko if that's what you mean. However I myself can't fly, chap." Slife grinned.

IC: Hau grinned as well and looked at Slife. "Yeah, my Kadin's startin' to glow."

IC: Slife"A Kadin, pssh. My Miru 's a classic." Slife grinned back, there seemed to be a lot of grinning being done in recent days.

IC - Sucogu - En Route to Gukko StablesSucogu smirked. "Gukko, smart one." He stepped up to the Le-Matoran at the stables. He rented three Gukko at a costly price. Walking towards the long, outdoor line of Gukko, he sighed."It's a good thing I have a hut out in Ko-Koro. I am in no condition to buy one." Three Gukko were tied up by bridles as they opened the gate. "Pick wisely, my friends. It doesn't make one popular to have a Gukko that bombs 'gifts' on unsuspecting Matoran." smirked the Toa.Sucogu instantly went for the lightest one. He hoped it was the fastest.

IC: SlifeSlife picked out the most streamlined bird, believing it's aerodynamics would help it fly the fastest. "So where exactly in Ko-Koro are we going?"

IC: Hau decided to go for the strongest-looking one. After all, if he fell it could probably take his grappling hook better than any other gukko.He shrugged casually. "Somewhere good for training, yeah?"

OOC: What exactly is Sucogu's master's reasoning for going to Ko-Wahi? Also if you all don't mind could we speed this up, Sucogu is the only person we're waiting for at the school.IC: SlifeSlife jumped on his bird, "Come on, times awasting, fellas."

OOC: To be honest, I just needed a reason for him to get to the school.IC - Sucogu - Leaving"The mountains, naturally."Once they had all chosen their Gukko, they headed off to Ko-Wahi.

OOC: I was given permission to post the following.IC: Hau tugged at his gukko's reins. With a whinnying screech, the bird took off and soared majestically away towards Ko-Wahi--Or at least, that's what would've happened-"YO!"-Had Jolek not just reappeared with Cyrunei.Hau grinned as he halted the bird before leaving the ground. The fireflyer was coming along. They could train together."I call the claws," the older toa said with a matching grin. Then grabbing a blushing Cyrunei, he latched onto said feet with one arm and clutched the female to his chest.Hau grinned once more. He then looked out at Ga-Koro one last time-to the land of combat and lost friends he had come to know, but gained ones as well.We lost the mystery.The martial artist' grin flickered.But...I'll find her. His chain twitched slightly.And when I do, she's gonna have trained as well..., the toa reasoned to himself.We will fight, Hau declared. Or I'm not gonna ever be anyone.And that's a promise!One tug of his reins was all iit took. The gukko flew away towards the ice-capped mountains on the horizon, bearing three passengers with all of its might.Including one with an ear-to-ear fierce grin across his Miru.OOC: Hau, Jolek, and Cyrunei to Ko-Wahi.

OOC: Let's just say that Vernadon's Father knew Sucogu's Master.IC: SlifeSlife laughed as his bird rose in the air. "Oh yeah," he said before suddenly flying off, zooming past the others. He was already nearly at the Ga-Ko-Ta Border.OOC: To Ko-Wahi, I can't wait anymore.

OOC: Fragarach from Le-WahiIC: [Fragarach]The first thing that happened to Fragarach when he entered Ga-Wahi was that a rock slammed into his head, sending him flying into a wall. He groaned in pain, slowly getting up to look for the source of the rock. He found none. Dumbfounded, he continued to walk along the beach, before getting hit by another rock and sent flying into the water."Ow," he muttered as he slowly rose from the waters.

IC: JLJL walked around the marshy jungle, heading towards the beach. Well, this was a bit boring.OOC: JL open for interaction (Until he gets to Ga-Koro.)

OOC: Interaction accepted.IC: [Fragarach]Fragarach slowly walked out of the sea, groaning in pain from the rock that had crashed into his head. He quickly made sure that nothing else would hit him, and continued walking.Only to crash into a Toa of Lightning."OW!" he shouted as his head collided once more with another object.
