BZPRPG: Ta-Wahi

IC: Tivanu

Tivanu nodded slightly as he heard this. He brought a large finger to tap at his chin as he thought

"Truth then."

IC Viima

(Ta-Koro, Hospital waiting room):

"Alright, brace yourself", Viima said, sounding more of a Le-Matoran than he usually did. "As a mercenary, have you ever stolen from an employer?"

IC: Tivanu

Tivanu seemed to consider this and nods

"Once actually.. I was doubled hired by two rival groups. The first group had me steal something from the other's base and the second group had me do the exact same thing.. it was rather funny infact. Oh that was quite the fun little job."

IC Viima

(Ta-Koro, Hospital waiting room):

Viima blinked. "Wow. I was thinking more in the way of betraying your employer, but it seems you got to steal from them without that sort of thing, doing your job and all that."

IC: Tivanu

Tivanu nods

"Ah well you should have just said that.. but yeah as i have said to you i try to stay on the good side of the law.."

He gained a delightfully evil smirk as he looked at Viima

"So Truth or dare Viima?"

IC: "The Forerunner"

"Exactly, we are going to catch a very dangerous enemy," I picked up a bag of photothermic powder,"These will server as a useful distraction."

I pointed at the gate to the shack,"Look there. If you had just had a house of photothermic powder dropped on your house, wouldn't you run out using the gate."

IC Viima

(Ta-Koro, Hospital waiting room):

Viima kept his composure. It was him who had suggested the game, so he would have to play on the same level as Tivanu.

"I'll take truth as well", Viima said. "Bring it on."

IC Kaunis

(Ta-Wahi, Beach):

"Yeah, I would", Kaunis admitted. "I would also attack the one who bombed my house. Especially if I had powers like they do. What are we going to do once the Piraka come out?"

IC: "The Forerunner"

"That is the plan, they come to us." I made some smoke come off my arm, "If they can't see us, then they can't fight us."

IC Kaunis

(Ta-Wahi, Beach):

"But there are six of them", Kaunis said. "Each of them are powerful, and you can't rely on me in combat. I'm not a fighter, I'm a musician. How can we capture them?"

IC: "The Forerunner"

"Some ingenuity, a small dash of cleverness, and quick thinking is all it takes to defeat anyone in battle. Besides, we have an advantage, surprise."

IC Kaunis

(Ta-Wahi, Beach):

Kaunis raised an eyebrow.

"Right. And what can we use to contain them?"

IC: "The Forerunner"

"We have, um, we have" I dug around in my bag, "HERE, rope. Strong rope."

I tugged on it. "Lets hope it doesn't break. That would be bad."

IC Kaunis

(Ta-Wahi, Beach):

Kaunis looked exasperated. "You really think a rope will hold them?"

IC: "The Forerunner"

"If you are wrapped completely, from head to toe, it will hold them for a time. Until we can take them in."

IC: Flaredrick

"If you want the one on the wall, it will cost you. About 150, which should be half of what we do here in the forge in order to make it for you."

He grabs the serrated knife and holds it by the blade. He holds it out to Xaron.

IC: "The Wanderer"

The cloaked Toa of Magnetism landed with a dull thud next to the Forerunner and Kaunis. He tapped the Toa of Smoke lightly on the arm to get his attention, then gestured, and once more, dark characters swirled into existence.

"What about the big blue Skakdi with elemental powers in the village?"

He wasn't certain that they should attempt to do anything at all before dealing with the most immediate threat to the Koro - a certain big, bad, beastly, blue Skakdi.

IC Kaunis

(Ta-Wahi, Beach):

"But in order to tie them up you need to knock them unconscious or something", Kaunis said. "Which means that you need to beat them in battle..."

The Wanderer arrived and enquired about dealing with the blue Skakdi in Ta-Koro. Kaunis kept quiet, being nervous around the Toa of Magnetism.

IC: "The Forerunner"

"You both hold good points. Yes, someone is causing some trouble over there, but isn't it just strange, that the person causing trouble just happens to fit the description of someone who lives there," I pointed at the shack, "And yes, we do need to knock someone unconscious to do that, but if they just can't see their attackers, that will not be a problem."

"Because what you can't see, can hurt you. I don't know about you, but I think I am going to abduct someone today. Care to join me?"

IC Kaunis

(Ta-Wahi, Beach):

Kaunis stood silently in front of Forerunner, not sure what to say. The Toa of Smoke seemed determined to attack the Piraka clubhouse and capture some of them. Kaunis knew that the plan was doomed though, for the Piraka were rumored to have awesome powers unlike any other Skakdi on the island. Forerunner was just one Toa and it was unsure that a cloud of smoke would be enough to win the day.

"But... that's suicidal", Kaunis stammered. "I'm sure they've got a way of seeing through the fog... and if they get even a glimpse of you, you'll end up fried or frozen or Mata Nui knows what else. And I don't know how I could even be of help to you, seeing as I lack any military training."

IC: "The Forerunner" "Here is how you can help, if I get captured or die, read this." I threw a small notebook on the ground. Picking up a few bags of photothermic powder and the small photothermic disk, I slinked towards the club house. Being very careful as not to be seen, I slipped the disk, in under the sand in-front of the gate. Then I slid over to the other side of the building, picking up a rock. I then created a sphere of smoke around it. With some vigor, I threw the smoke bomb at the window of the shack, and began to douse the house in smoke.

IC: Tivanu

Tivanu used a hand to slightly rub at his chin as he considered this

"Have you ever committed a crime?"

IC Kaunis

(Ta-Wahi, Beach):

Mata Nui, he's actually doing this, Kaunis thought in horror as she picked up the note and backed away. When she thought she was far enough, she drew out her flute and blowed a few notes with it. Soon enough, a Kahu descended from the sky, landing beside her.

"I knew you would come", she said happily.

IC Viima

(Ta-Koro, Hospital waiting room):

Viima tilted his head as he thought.

"Well, I suppose I have", he said. "There was a Le-Matoran I was not in good terms with, so I 'accidentally' ruined his private garden... mainly Bula bushes on the backyard. I also stole something from him when he was having a sale of sorts. That was a long time ago, And no, we won't count me being drugged and attempting an assassination in Ga-Koro as a crime. No intent in that case."

"Ok, it's your turn again. Truth? Or dare?"

IC: Tivanu

Tivanu smirked very lightly as he hears this

"Well the little criminal aren't you? But how about Dare? Nothing illegal though."

IC Viima

(Ta-Koro, Hospital waiting room):

"I acted on the basis of emotion... I tend to do that sometimes", Viima said with a little shame in his voice.

He started looking around the waiting room, trying to figure out something to dare Tivanu to do. He spotted an answer nearby: a drinking water sink. It was meant for those waiting to get a sip of water, but Viima had something bigger in mind.

"I dare you to drink from that for... hmm... five minutes", he said. "Without pauses."

OOC: It might not sound like a lot, but five minutes is a long time to drink nonstop. Gonna screw up your stomach too.

IC: Tivanu

Tivanu smirked gently as he hears this and as he stands up he offers Viima a grin

"Oh how i love loopholes."

And with that he moves towards the fountain and brinsg his mouth right to the stream of water letting it hit his wide mouth though if one pays attentions they will see that while water is going into his mouth he is not swallowing it all

IC Viima

(Ta-Koro, Hospital waiting room):

Viima noticed Tivanu's trick and scowled.

"Hey, drinking usually involves swallowing, you know."

IC: Tivanu

Tivanu turned to look at Viima and smirked

"You said i had to drink you never said i had to swallow.."

But alas he continued to drink the water this time following the rules

IC Viima

(Ta-Koro, Hospital waiting room):

"You are one sneaky guy", Viima replied. "You know I still don't trust you, right?"

IC: Tivanu

Tivanu nods rather slowly as he hears this

"Indeed.. Though i guess i should ask now.. Truth or Dare Viima?"

IC Viima

(Ta-Koro, Hospital waiting room):

"Since you've done both a truth and dare, I guess it's only right if I choose dare as well", Viima said. "So that."

IC: Tivanu

Tivanu seemed to truly consider this and nods

"I dare you, Viima, to try and put some trust into me. Give me a chance to earn your trust."

IC (Orderin, NPC Ta Matoran Doctor):The door to Orderin's room opened a crack, "The patient will receive visitors now."He said in a businesslike tone.

IC Viima

(Ta-Koro, Hospital waiting room):

Viima was taken aback by the dare. He did not know what to say or how to react.

Even with the long time spent together with Tivanu, Viima had not managed to forget his first conflict with him or what Surina had done. Or maybe he was just not admitting that some things had indeed changed? Whatever it was, Viima realized that he was being angry at Tivanu for many of the things Surina had done.

"Well...", he said, pausing in thought, then continuing. "It's only playing fair that I accept the dare."

A door opened and a doctor peeked out.

"The patient will receive visitors now", he said in a businesslike tone.

"Let's go see our friend", Viima said to Tivanu and walked through the door.

IC: Tivanu

Tivanu rose though he placed a hand on Viima's shoulder and seemed to stop him

"Viima.. I do have to say that i did not save you and orderin in the midst of that fight as some sick way to use it as blackmail or leverage.. I did it because i felt it was best to keep you two alive.. plus how would we ever be the clueless three if it was only me?"

He smirked at this last part as he leg go of viima's shoulder and rose to his full height

IC Viima

(Ta-Koro, Hospital, Orderin's room):

"You would be clueless all on your own", Viima replied with a smile, but with none of the contempt. With that he stepped inside the room Orderin was in. He was still laying on a bed, but looking better than before.

"Orderin", Viima said. "Are you all right?"

IC: Tivanu

Tivanu lean against the wall next to the door and holding himself up with one foot he idly put the other over his left foot and crossed his arms over his chest and watched Viima and Orderin not really giving any form of response merely seeming to be a bit relaxed

IC: "The Wanderer"

Like Kaunis, he was somewhat perplexed and equally impressed with the Toa of Smoke who had decided to apparently, from what he could gather, abduct a being of the caliber of the one making trouble in the village. He disappeared into the cloud of smoke after "Forerunner", but quickly launched himself into the air and disappeared. Kaunis was left alone on the beach with her Kahu.

OOC: I like how you made my character unsettle Kaunis. It makes him seem that much more mysterious and distant.

IC:Orderin smiled weakly, "I've been better. What happened out there? The last thing I remember is that Skakdi making the roof collapse beneath me."

IC Viima

(Ta-Koro, Hospital):

Viima was happier to hear Orderin's voice than he could describe. He had feared at some point that the hero he looked up to for inspiration was dead.

"Yeah, you fell", Viima said. "Tivanu saved both you and me. I was just coming to help you when something hit me from... the side and... I..."

Viima turned to Tivanu in confusion. "I almost forgot that I was hit by a disk. Did you see who did that? I know it wasn't the Skakdi, he wasn't in the right position."

IC Kaunis

(Ta-Wahi, Beach):

Gulping at the sight of the smoke cloud forming, Kaunis hopped on the Kewa (OOC: I know I misspelled that Kahu earlier, but I meant Kewa) that she had summoned and took off. She did not leave the beach, however. Instead, she made the Kewa hover over the beach so she could witness the battle to come from a very unique vantage point.

IC: Tivanu

Tivanu brought a hand to rub at his chin as he seems to think

"Well considering i was defending myself against a blast of air that the skakdi seemed to copy from orderin and the shrapnel that came with it.. But now that i think of it i saw that Matoran out of the corner of my eye come out of a building fully decked out in armor and with some weapons.. she is the only likely person i can think of."
