IC: Zealokan'Yeah I guess you're right. I just worry about her sometimes.' He looked at his feet and sighed.'I worry about you too, Miha. Are you absolutely sure we can take this guy? Do we even know his weaknesses, or if he has any? I represent the last of an entire element, I don't want to be struck down because a Matoran got in over their head!' He realised he was getting angry, and quickly calmed himself down by drinking some coffee. 'I'm sorry. I just don't think we're strong enough to take him just yet. We need more time, and more allies.'

IC: Zealokan'Hey, I've got the motivation, last of the Ve-Koronians and all. Plus, dying wasn't amongst my plans this year. At least, not without Payiges.' He not-so-secretly wondered where she was.'Maybe we should find her first. Lightning can sometimes equal heat, right?'

IC: Zealokan'Sounds a bit dangerou- he stopped when he saw Miha's brow furrow. 'Alright, let's go. But if we die, I blame you.'

IC: ZealokanHe looked up as the door opened and Miha emerged. 'Ahhh, friend-teammate, good to see you. Coffee?' He held out one of the flasks he had with him.

Seriously looking forward to entering my RPG in this contest. I have a feeling it's going to blow. Your. Minds.(read: confuse the heck out of you. It confused me when I was writing it)Good luck to everyone else who's entering

OOC: Haters gonna hate IC: ZealokanHe retook his seat in Kongu's hut, and turned to Nixie. 'Have my friend's come out yet? Also, coffee?' He held up one of the flasks he had tucked under his arm.

IC: Zealokan'Suit yourself.' He finished his mug and immediately poured himself another. 'Mata Nui, this is good. Not "Epic Tea" good, but still pretty darn good.'Soon enough, he was on his way back to Kongu's hut to meet with Miha and Merror, two flasks of coffee under his arm, a large smile on his face.

IC: Zealokan'Hmm.. well, seeing as the coffee wasn't required, the pot's on me, I guess.' He took a long sip from his mug, and grinned. 'Guardsmen, or guardswomen, as it would seem at the moment, may I offer you some of the finest coffee I've tasted this side of Mata Nui?''Sorry about before, by the way, Skyra. Just a bit shocked, I guess. Not an everyday occurrence... I think... Coffee?'I'm not kidding, Zealokan genuinely thought this was some really freaking good coffee.

IC: Zealokan'I'm already two steps ahead of you,' he said, taking the coffee pot and mugs from the barkeep, mouthed a silent 'thank you,' and handed a mug to Kehaga. 'You take care of the Commander here, I need to sober up a bit myself.'

IC: Zealokan'Everyone knows someone who knows someone on this island, don't they?' He helped Kehaga pull Kunitu upright. 'Coffee?'

IC: Zealokan'I'm going to assume you two know each other?'

IC: Zealokan'Commander, you say? Well, by all means, go ahead.' He started to let go, then suddenly grabbed her arm tighter, ripped the drink from her grasp, and put it down, out of her reach. 'Stop. Drinking. You're not going doing anybody any good.' Zealokan was such a hypocrite, but in this case, it was justified, seeing as Kunitu could likely barely walk.He turned and held up two fingers. 'Barkeep! Coffee, two of 'em. And leave the jug!'

IC: ZealokanKunitu went to empty another glass, but as she raised it to her mouth, Zealokan grabbed her arm and lowered it slowly. 'I think you've had enough.' Realising the hypocrisy in his statement, he put down his bottle of Salamander's.

IC: Zealokan'Dare I ask?' He said rather glumly.

IC: ZealokanHe turned his head and smiled half-heartedly at the Toa of Air.'What're you in for?'

Awkwardly enough, in attempting to better myself as a RPer, I've accidentally written my flagship character into incredibly socially inept.Darn it all to Karzahni.

IC: ZealokanShe's right, you know. Sure, Skyra's acquired another body, sure, Skyra's a completely different gender than she was before, but she's still your friend.'Shut up, conscience, you're making me feel bad.' He stood up and dusted himself off, telling a Matoran sitting next to him to tell Miha and Merror that he had gone for a drink, before leaving Kongu's hut.He seated himself at the bar, and held up two fingers to the bartender, who nodded and brought over two bottles of Salamander's Revenge. 'Thank you,' the Silver Toa choked out, before downing both bottles in thirty seconds. The bartender's eyes widened, but his expression was ignored as the Kineticist held up two fingers. Two more bottles, another thirty seconds.'You okay there?' The bartender asked Zealokan.'Yeah, I guess. Long story.''I've got time. And it's kind of my job to let world-weary travellers offload their troubles onto me.'He laughed. Loudly. 'World-weary? Hardly. So, anyway, it goes like this....' ------------------------------------------ 'That's.... that's quite the dilemma.''Ha, tell me about it.'An silence settled between the two.'Isn't this the part where you offer me some helpful and inspirational advice before sending me on my merry way?''You read too much. Sorry, I got nothin'.' 'Oh.... Okay.'Two more bottles, another thirty seconds...

IC: Zealokan'Well... that was kind of rude,' he stated quietly as Skyra and the guardsmen left. He slouched in his chair, waiting for Miha and Merror to emerge.

IC: Zealokan 'Understandable, I guess...' If he was biologically capable of such an act, his cheeks would've flushed red. 'Sorry. My curiosity got the better of me. It happens a lot, especially with a Kanohi whose power is centred around the harnessing of said curiosity for a practical purpose-I'm going to shut up now.' He twiddled his thumbs, and tried to avoid staring at Skyra. The more he thought about his friend's predicament, the more he realised how hard it was going to be to adjust, for both of them.

IC: Zealokan'Well, and I mean absolutely no disrespect by this,' he said it more for his own benefit than Skyra's, 'but...' He held a hand out, as if to point out the obvious. He leaned back slightly, expecting the hardest and most painful slap to the face anyone on Mata Nui would ever feel. 'I mean, if you're comfortable with it. No pressure.' He was doing a heck of a job reassuring himself. Skyra.... probably not so much.

IC: ZealokanHe took a seat beside Skyra. 'Hey, mate.' A small silence passed. 'How's things?' He looked his friend up and down. ' No disrespect, but you're going to have to fill me in on recent events.'

Loving the detail and lighting. She looks as if she's leading an army into battle.Great job, man

IC: Zealokan'I've been meaning to see Skyra. I mean, it must be hard for him... her...' he let out an annoyed moan. 'That's going to be hard to get used to. Can't say I've met Kongu, either.' His eyes glazed over, and he drifted into another daydream. This time he thought about soaring through the skies with the Gukko in his Glider. It brought a faint smile to his face. It would've been comforting to see that people still had things to smile about in these dark days.
