BZPRPG: Le-Wahi

IC:

"Yep, we made business cards for everyone reading 'ILF: Semi-Professional Slackers'."

-Void

IC: Vrina

Vrina grinned

"You could say tricks. Although not sure if they are really tricks... More like skills."

IC: Cadias

"Oh. Um, I guess that depends on your definition of all right. My friend here is in rough shape, but it's practically a miracle that she's alive, so..."

Perhaps 'in rough shape' was putting it a bit lightly.

IC: Kehuri - Pala-Koro

He gave her a wry smile. "A well-timed disaster would fix that." The island was at peace now. But then why did it feels so wrong? Well, that wasn't actually too hard to figure out. He needed a Duty. And with so little turmoil, what could he do? Or the ILF, for that matter. He remembered his encounter with that Rahkshi on his way over. "You... we need a duty." He observed soberly. A grin touched his Hau. "Rahkshi Hunters Incorporated."

IC: Colx (Le-Koro Tavern)

"Alright then" Colx said and leaned back into his chair again.

"Surprise me"

IC: Vrina

Vrina nodded and seemed to close her eyes. From her back suddenly one of her stiletto's rose from the holsters on her back and raised in the air. Then she opened her eyes and the stiletto shot towards Colx's face but stopped inches from it. She merely smirked at him as held it there

IC: Colx (Le-Koro Tavern)

Colx jumped a little at the unexpected maneuver, she did surprise him, pretty impressive.

"Pretty nice move" he admitted as he studied the stiletto, it looked to be in excellent shape, a dangerous and light weapon.

"Let me guess, it's got something to do with the crystal guards on the hilt, right?" Colx guessed

IC: Vrina

Vrina nodded and merely laughed

"Exactly. It allows me to wield them due to my control over crystal. So even if my hands are tied or incapable of grabbing it i can still get them."

She withdrew the weapon from Colx and it 'flew' back to the holsters on her hip

IC: Colx (Le-Koro Tavern)

"Pretty handy" Colx admitted.

"OK, here's a little challenge: guess which elemental power I have"

IC: Vrina

Vrina arched her brow as she considered Colx carefully

"Hmm.. Black and silver, Black and silver. You could easily be a skakdi of iron, earth or even gravity. I truly can not know for sure given you have nothing on you that would be indicative of your element. and not like you can show me your power since skakdi must have another skakdi to use their element."

IC: Colx (Le-Koro Tavern)

"I used to abuse the living karz out of that advantage. You won't believe how many times I conned someone into thinking my element was something else, and then taking them completely by surprise once I got the chance.

"Anyway; it's gravity, actually. Or maybe it's not, you don't know if I'm actually telling the truth, nothing personal, of course"

Colx chuckled again, and grinned at Vrina

IC: Vrina

Vrina seemed to consider this and merely shook her head softly

"You know i must say that i think that would be a huge advantage."

She leaned forward and merely spoke softly in a quiet voice

"And i really do not know. But i will not take it personal." Her voice softened even more "Unless you make it personal by saying something you will regret."

IC: Colx (Le-Koro Tavern)

"Is that a challenge?" Colx asked and leaned forward again

IC: Vrina

Vrina smirked and made sure her eyes watched Colx carefully

"Perhaps it is, perhaps it isn't? Depends on how you see it."

IC: (Colx, Le-Koro Tavern)

"Whatever it is, I'll take it" Colx replied with a sly grin.

"How about you?"

IC:Vrina

Vrina eyes went a bit wide and then softened

"So let me ask you. If it was a challenge what kind of challenge would it be?"

IC: Colx (Le-Koro Tavern)

"Let's put it this way, the night is still young, and my fingers are itching"

"Yes, I'm inappropriate, and I don't care"

IC: Vrina

Vrina seems to honestly consider this and looks at Colx

"You know that could be taken several ways. For example it could mean that your willing to spar."

OOC: Never expected this

OOC: I took a big risk, just bear with me

IC: Colx (Le-Koro)

"Could be, my gym's pretty empty at the moment, could be fun to actually have someone using it" Colx replied.

"I haven't beaten anybody in a while"

IC: Vrina

Vrina nodded to Colx

"Well i would be up for a spar. Afterall i have not fought a skakdi in quite sometime."

OOC: Well i will admit that i was not sure. That is why i took the direction of a spar

OOC: But then again, maybe... if you're okay with it

IC: Colx (Le-Koro Tavern)

"It's not far from here, just a block or so"

IC:

"Heh, c'mon Kehuri -- gimme a bit of a challenge here," I replied with a trademark Plagia-esque grin -- pretty and sharp and hollow. "Those oversized, walkin' snails have nothing on me."

-Void

IC: Kehuri

True, metal's conductivity was a useful feature. "Nor me," he bragged. "But they're just about the only danger the island's facing, save for lack of Unity. And it sounds fun."

IC: Akiri Kongu - Le-Koro - OfficeKongu sat up straighter, completing the last line in the final letter before signing it. A knock on the door was sounded as the Akiri stood up, filing away each letter into a small package, "Please, come in."The door opened and a voice of the guard outside spoke, "Akiri, the five messengers you sent for have arrived.""Thank you, please, send them in," Kongu finished with the final seal and marked each package with a number. 01, 02, 03, 04, and 05.Filing inside the hut, Kongu smiled brightly to the messengers, "Hello friends, I have asked you to be here to carry out a task-job that needs work-doing," he reached down to the first marked package, 01 and handed it to a Rider, "This is to be sent to Po-Koro's Akiri," 02 was next, "this one to Ga-Koro."Both messengers nodded politely and took the parcels. He continued down the line, 03 was for Ta-Koro, 04 for Ko-Koro, 05 lastly was for Onu-Koro.He walked out the door with the messengers and closed it behind him, "Give-take these to your assigned Akiri, and ensure that they reach them. Stay in the villages until you receive word-speak from the Akiri before coming back home and reporting to me."A nod and smiles were shared before the messengers all hurried to the next chute station, jumping in one by one to pop out at the landing/launching pads for Forcemen. Kongu reached up and patted Ka on the head, her throat clicking and purring softly. Onu-Koro had already begun their own work in his Wahi, stretching out the chute system he had originally proposed to the Koro's representatives. He of course had assigned his own engineers to keep up their end of the deal as well; constructing glider packs for Onu-Koro to use. Kongu wasn't entirely comfortable with handing over the flight capabilities his own forces held, but Onu-Koro drove a hard bargain. And besides, Le-Koro Wind-riders would always rule the wind no matter who else flew on it alongside or against them. It was not worth worrying about further, and the Akiri put it out of his mind quickly. Sparing his own fliers for Onu-Koro messenger services was less of an issue to him. Akiri Kongu mounted Ka, who ruffled her feathers in preparation for the work ahead.He waltzed through the streets on her back, making his way to the edge of the Koro where he would soon launch away. He waved and smiled to his people as he rode by, saying his hellos and good days while he passed.

IC: Vrina

Vrina nodded slowly as she heard this and rose from her seat and grinned

"Well you gonna lead the way?"

IC: Tivanu

Tivanu waited to find out what the message said

OOC: Any luck with getting a hold of Parugi for the note?

IC: Colx (Le-Koro)

"Why of course" Colx replied and got up after her.

"But first" he said and made a sharp whistle, summoning a bartender to their table.

"Check please" he said

"This one's on me" he said, and grinned again

OOC: PM, Vox?

IC: Vrina

Vrina arches a brow to Colx

"Wow that is mighty generous of you to pay for my drink...."

OOC: I replied to your pm already

IC: Colx (Le-Koro)

"At this point I'll do anything that can help my chances" Colx replied nonchalantly as he paid for the drinks.

"So, ladies first" he said as they moved to leave the tavern.

IC: Vrina

Vrina moves out of the tavern and looks around

"So where is this gym of yours?"

IC: Colx (Le-Koro)

"Just follow me" Colx said and took the lead again.

"My gym lies in a very small neighborhood, there's only two other huts there, both of which are empty now. Helios and Melna used to live there"

IC: Vrina

Vrina nodded. As she followed Colx she could not help but notice the stares she got because of her mask

"So is there a reason it is a small neighborhood?"

IC: Colx (Le-Koro)

"It's not old enough to have been settled immediately, and not new enough to draw any new tenants, and it lies in a very backwater location of sorts"

"I had to maintain a serious hustle with advertisements, fliers and posters and whatnot in order to bring in some customers to my gym"

IC: Vrina

Vrina nodded slowly to Colx

"I am a bit surprised that from the way you are describing it that you are able to keep in business."

IC: Colx (Le-Koro)

"I kinda lucked out on that one, you see, when the Gukko Force was recruiting, I offered my training facilities to the Akiri, and he agreed to give me a sort of unoffical endorsement. It definitely helped a lot"

IC: Vrina

Vrina let out a small gasp as she walked behind Colx

"That is actually really surprising. Was there no other gyms he could have chose?"

She winked at him

IC: Colx (Le-Koro)

"It was really I that came to him, so I wouldn't know. It was partly because I came with extra facilities, instead of just seeking employment as another trainer for the fine men and women of the LKGF"

Colx grinned to himself as he caught a glimpse of Vrina's wink

The walk led them up a treebranch to another wooden plaza constructed from one of the large trees Le-Wahi was known for, only much smaller. On one side there were two hive-shaped huts that were strung from the higher branches, hanging just off the edge of the platform.

(OOC: Like those huts in the MNOG's).

The plaza itself was mostly occupied by a large building, square and with a pretty high roof, a small sidesection that clearly served as Colx's living quarters lay in the shadow of the bright moonlight. The view of Le-Wahi was lovely from up here

"Well, this is it"

He walked up to the door to the gym.

"Ladies first" he offered.

OOC: This was my first time describing this place, I think it went well.

IC: Vrina

Vrina moved to the door and looked up at the building

Impressive. Little low-budget but impressive

"And how do i not know you will not attack my backside as i enter?"

IC: Colx (Le-Koro Fitness Center)

"Come now, why would I want to ruin such a nice view?" Colx replied with his trademark snarky grin.

"Besides, my experience with double-crossing females of my own species has been a painful one, I'm not about to start that with any woman who looks like she might have something to say about it. And judging from that little stunt you pulled earlier, you do"

IC: Vrina

Vrina nodded slowly and seemed to consider this

"And may i ask how perceptive you are?"

IC: Colx (Le-Koro Fitness Center)

"I'd say I'm pretty perceptive" Colx replied

"How so?"
