BZPRPG: Le-Wahi

OOC: I'm talking ACTUAL, staff-sanctioned plot movements, like what Oreius Maru is doing in Ko right now. Not ragging on you.

​IC: (Kaen)

"Sure, why not."

OOC: Oh. Okay.

IC: *Poraku leads his group over to the destroyed bar. The door was splinters, tables were overturned, and the actual bar was nonexistent. (Poraku noted that fortunately, the drinks storage in the back had not been touched.)*

"Let's get to work."

*Poraku lifts some tables back to their original position, while Kaen.....*

IC Luten:

"Oh, thank the spirit!" The tiny crystal being said, sinking to her equally tiny knees. "Mr. Vale got something attached to his back, and it's done something to him!"

IC: Kantok 

Kantok watches as Poraku helps set things back up in the bar. He takes a long sip and stands up to help.

IC: *Poraku notices Kantok taking a long swig before standing up to help.*

"Toa of Sonics! We drink AFTER we set this place right!"

OOC: As an ahead, I will not be playing the BZPRPG for the next three days. I'm going on a trip with my church youth group, and we will not be back until Sunday afternoon. So, just carry on like I'm here, just sleeping.

IC:

"Oh! That's the pepper-cocoa stuff, right? The parasite thingy that latches onto a Toa? Are you the parasite?" 

I ignored the fact that I'd probably mispronounced the organisms' name wrong - I was simply far too interested in the parasite to care. I'd heard of them before, little bugs that bite, capable of inducing a metamorphosis in the host body during stress. But I'd never seen one before.

Did the Makuta make these...?

Further testing was needed! If I ever met any others with these parasites who weren't nice people, I wanted to have an edge up. And, well, I'm bound to end up fighting against the forces of evil - in the end, this was certain to be guaranteed.

"What happens if I poke it?"

I walked closer to the body of the Toa - was he a Toa of Sonics, like me? - and reached out to gently prod the little carapace of the Parakuka. Ah, yeah, that's what they were called.

IC (Sisk):

"I think it's come through here because the beetles destroyed its original territory. As for intelligence: These tracks are wide. Muaka leave narrower ones. I think we are dealing with a Tarakava here."

He climbed back to his feet, trying to shake off the muck clinging to him.

"There's two possible scenarios: Either it's still looking for a new territory - or it has already found one. If it's the former it's going to be scared, if it's the latter it's going to defend its new home fiercly. Trouble either way."

IC: (Kaen)

The Toa of Air picked up some debris while Poraku berated Kantok. He turned to Vantul.
​"You wouldn't have something back at your shop that would make cleaning this all up easier, would you?"

IC: Vantul

"Not really. I mean, there's this little claw thing if you don't want to get your hands dirty, but you couldn't really lift anything heavy with it anyway. Have you seen one of those? Do you know what I'm talking about? They're sorta like tongs? For people who don't want to bend over, or maybe for short people who can't reach the top shelf?" Vantul smirked. "You wouldn't want one of those, eh, Toa? Scared of getting your hands dirty?"

Vantul bent down and picked up a piece of rubble.

IC (Sisk):

IC: Helios (Jungle Floor)

"Got it, watch out for wayward punches being thrown from the bushes" I summarized. I had my disk launcher in hand, but the exact type of disk to load into it I wasn't quite sure of yet.

"Right, you take the lead, and I guess I'll follow" I said.

IC: (Kaen)

​"No, it's just...nevermind."

OOC: AAAAAAAAND I'M BACK.

IC: Poraku heard a some skittering under a table. He lifted it up, and a tiny bio-rat scrambled out from under the rubble.

"Huh. This place must not be healthy anyway. Good thing it got destroyed."

IC LUten:

"They're both kind of out of it, I think.... but please be careful, Ora doesn't like being touched....."

IC: (Kaen)

​"That's somewhat dismissive towards the people that own this place, isn't it?"
​The rat ran past the Toa of Air, causing him to flinch and drop the debris he was carrying.
​"Ngh. On second thought...no, noble Toa. Kind and helpful, not disrespectful."
​He continued cleaning, muttering "kind and helpful" over and over again, his tone becoming more passive aggressive the more he said it.
​He paused.
"Speaking of, where are the people that own this place?"
 

IC: *Poraku turns to Kaen, then looks around.*

"Yeah...where is everybody? They should be here helping clean up their own place."

IC: Vantul

"Maybe they're in the hospital? Could've gotten pretty hurt, I mean, with a drunken Skakdi on the loose?"

OOC: Didn't one of them get stabbed?

OOC: Honestly I could barely tell what was going on. All I could understand was that a bunch of Skakdi trashed a bar, which...isn't an uncommon occurence here.

​IC: (Kaen)

​"Perhaps we should give them flowers. I've got a few stuck in my collar here..."

OOC: Okay, what happened: Skakdi attacks bar. Bar patrons, including bar owners, escape. Skakdi sticks sword through bartender. Orderin and Poraku take down Skakdi, while destroying most of the bar. There's the condensed version of the battle.

IC: "Yes, the bartender is in the hospital-nice to see you care, Kaen-but everyone else escaped relatively unscathed, I think."

IC: Kantok

"If it would be more helpful I can just disintegrate everything in here and we could could bring in more, and new furniture and such afterwards."

IC:

"Kantok, please calm down."

IC:

".......Then this might wake them up."

I poked Ora. 

Weird.

IC: Kantok

"Just an idea..."

IC: (Kaen)

​"Man, this sure is exciting, picking up debris and trying to make small talk..."
The Toa of Air looked up at the sky.
​"Hm, sun's going down. Maybe we should call in a clean-up crew to finish up here."

IC: "Good idea."

*shifts nervously*

"Do you know where a tiny Po-Matoran like me could bunk for the night?"

IC: Vantul

"Well, I've got an extra cot down at my place, so you could stay with me if you'd like. I mean, it might not be that comfortable, I don't know. Well, I guess you could sleep on the bed and I could take the cot..."Vantul shrugged, "Whatever you like! Hey, and you know his idea wasn't such a bad one," Vantul gestured to Kantok, "I still don't know his name," He murmured. "We could just destroy it all and sweep it up later instead of trying to get it all cleaned up and nice and organized... just so we can destroy it in a landfill. So, I mean, we don't necessarily have to call a clean-up crew. Actually, we don't even need to sweep, because Kaen here could just blow it all away!"

IC:

"Fine. Do what you will. And I'll take the cot, thank you. Keep in mind that I'm used to sleeping on rocks at night."

IC: Kantok 

"So...I can disintegrate it? Kantok shoves everyone else out the door and says "Don't come in 'til I give the ok, ok?" Kantok's spear extends and a high frequency began to be heard, Then it got higher and higher until it couldn't be heard. Kantok slammed the butt of his spear into the ground, then a slight rippling could be seen through the room, and all the wood in the place disintegrated. The door blew off its hinges and flew straight at Vantul. "Sorry Vantul. Kaen your turn now." Kantok said this as he walked through the doorway.

IC: (Kaen)

​The Toa of Air stood with his mouth agape.
​"Buh...I...wuhh..."
​He put his hands on his head.
​"You can't just...they could've..."

IC Sarcen Vale:

The De-Toa groaned slightly, but did not stir, otherwise.

The parakuka, however, seemed to shudder at the touch, and contracted, pressing tighter against its host's back.

IC: (To Kaen)

"What's wrong, Air Toa? Nobody has been disintegrated; sure Vantul's face is probably a bit sore, but..."

IC: Kantok

"Vantul told me I could, besides the kegs are still ok..." Kantok shrugs his shoulders sheepishly.

IC:

"Speaking of which...."

*Poraku takes a keg and empties it into his stomach.*

"What? Po-Korons drink LOADS of beer. It's what's keeps them strong."

IC: (Kaen)

​"What in Spirit's name is wrong with you people?!"

IC: Kantok

"Uh well we just really like beer OK?"

IC:

"Hey! I'm the leader of this group. I'm the one who recognizes the terrible character traits of all of us."

*Leads the group out of the (now-nonexistent) bar and out onto the streets of Le-Koro.*

"So, my Toa, and Matoran, friends, where to next? I would like to test my combat skills against a fearsome foe."

IC: (Kaen)

​"Leader? We have a leader? I thought we were disparate nobodies..."
 

IC:

"Yes you have a leader. If I'm your leader, you must be REALLY desperate, but I'm the leader nonetheless."

OOC: Disparate. Noun. Things that are so unlike there are no comparisons.

​IC: (Kaen)

"If we're doing a thing here, starting a group and all that, then I think we should decide who our leader will be in a far more democratic way then just saying 'I'm the leader' and be done with it."

OOC: Whoops. Sorry.

IC:

"Fair enough. How should we go about doing so?"

OOC: The two words are very similar and "disparate" resembles a common misspelling of "desperate," so it's understandable.

​IC: (Kaen)

​"Show of hands, of course."
