*Nods*
"It would only be fair, we still may need basics that I don't know about. If we don't go through everything like a leaf ninja should, how could we ever really be a part of this village. Parts of what I know are highlights, I know much more about the Chunin exam, than I do about the preparation for the Genin exam."
*Nods*
"Let me introduce you to my family, so you know what I fight for."
*opens the pouch and calls for them out one at a time, and Caity last*
"This is my family, Valera one of my wives, don't ask, never set out for that accomplishment, it just happened, this is Rid, my sister in law. This is Nic, my son, the oldest the fighter, this is Jewel, my oldest daughter and the planner, this is Eria, the drawer daughter, and the littlest one is Victoria, my youngest. I brought them out to both prove my story to a point and to show you what I am here for. Last is Caity, she was a gift at my wedding, it was yesterday, so this kinda cut short our honeymoon."
*to his family*
"I am sorry for the extended wait, events just happened the way they did."
J
In order to continue I need to know what your best hopes and worst fears at this point are from a character standpoint. The roll says it is relevant.
Best hopes, is that everyone is accepted, the Hokage trusts us, and the village accepts us. Worst fears would probably be, Danzo seeing the eyes, stepping up the destruction of the Uchicha, Involving Oorchimaru way too early, to get the Sharingan implanted and try to usurp power from Sarutobi, to become Hokage, and then of course declaring war on anyone he sees fit. I am keeping both with what both myself and my character feel would be worst. Beyond worst would be a tailed beast attack on the village, since I don't know if my power to control it would work ((Sure things have not worked in the past)).
Well, you don't need to worry about a tailed beast attack.
§
The Hokage tells you, "I will see to it that you all are set up in our village right away. Clearly, none of you are all you seem, and you will all be great assets to our village. I will waive the genin and chunin exams for you as well as the kunoichi who came with you; these children will soon begin their training, by the look of them.
"Perhaps you will see fit to help us train our genin, as well; I can have someone show you the ropes in that regard. Judging by the last few days, you could likely even teach our highest ranking fighters a thing or two about stealth.
"No need to worry about money as long as you are here; we will handle your expenses."
§
For the record, it's a 3, and I don't feel sufficiently 3'd yet, do you?
*A little shocked*
"Well that all sounds great, I would have no problem learning the ropes and teaching what I know to genin or others. As for regular stealth I am quite good, but I attribute our getting in and around the village to one of the abilities my eyes give me. I do only know one Jutsu, so if showing me the ropes means giving me a visual crash course of things I need to learn to teach people better, it really works out."
*smiles*
"You really can trust those that were in here with the best interests of the village at heart. I am glad to have been able to resolve this without any bloodshed or fighting."
*To Val*
"You wished to learn how to heal people with a touch, there are a branch of ninja here that can teach you to do that and much more with your hands. To increase your strength many fold with your chakra, or to slice someone with surgical precision. You will get the training you wanted without compromise."
*To Rid*
"We have only been family for a day, but this is your chance to have your skills shine. There are many animals that can be summoned here, and I will even need your help if Jiraiya is not here to make contact. You will have the ability to learn what you need, so I hope that is a good present for a brother in law to you."
*To the kids*
"You will meet others to meet, play with, learn with and grow with. I'm sure you will all do great, have fun and do me proud."
*To the Hokage*
"I think that does it, other than springing Tan. She will be fun to deal with tonight."
((A 3 GE roll definatly makes up for the crappy rolls that lead up to this))
J
The Hokage quickly pens a note and hands it to you; unfortunately, I don't think you read kanji, so it's japanese to you. He tells you to show it to anyone who gives you a problem, and to go ahead and let your friend out.
bump?
*smiles*
"Perhaps a tutor, to read this, unless Rid can."
*Will head out with family in tow to the prison*
"Let's go spring Tan from jail, Rid try not to look so happy and wish you had a camera."
J
Rid looks at it and tells you that it's a foreign dialect but essentially says that you are a high ranking Leaf Village shinobi and not to question your authority.
She doesn't really look happy or excited; she's attracting lethal damage level nosebleeds from a lot of men due to her looks and clothing.
*Looks at Rid*
"You are going to get modest clothing in the morning, and you are going to be decent here. That means you learn, work well with others, and you find one special man. You are the last full blooded one of your kind, that means no more games, you saw how quickly things change."
*Is serious with her*
===========================
*walking back to the Prison, walking to the guards showing them the note*
"Tan your out of there for good behavior."
*Lets the Shadow Clone pop*
J
She gives you a level look; it seems to say, "I don't think so."
§
Tan is in here, sitting outside the cell, which houses 4 upset shinobi; they are gagged and hogtied. Your shadow clone looks to be sleeping.
*Looks from Rid to Tan and back to Rid*
*Kids help Val untie the nice shinobi and show them this, Auntie Rid and Mommy Tan and myself have some talking to do*
==============
*Gives them both the look of doom*
"You two are worse than the children, 15 minutes Tan, couldn't give me 15 minutes to completely get us in the free and clear, and you had to gag and hogtie them."
*To Rid*
"I spent days in that cell with Tan, all so I could make sure we have a life here. Grandfather said that you come. You will dress appropriately while here, you will help out, and you will be respectful of yourself and others. If you think your little talk with Tan was uncomfortable, neither of you has seen me really upset. Don't make me upset, or I will show you what thousands of years of training with a goal in mind can do."
*To both*
"I am neither weak, not timid, do not mistake my nice demeanor for either. I spent time training to fight the four, and they decided they didn't want to risk a fair fight. Just process that for a moment about what that means. I will give you respect, you give me the respect of knowing the score here, and making sure those kids grow up. If either of you thinks I will let anyone or anything get in between that goal, you will see a hell you wish you never opened up."
J
Persuasion score?
2@8
J
15 for Rid, 34 for Tan, Rid's will power check 16.
§
Rid says to you, "But, you don't understand; this isn't particularly my personal preference, but the traditional garb of all Draconian summoners going back hundreds if not thousands of Draconian rotations. As you said, I could be the last of my kind, and I'm not about to let the traditions of my people go so soon after losing them." She seems distraught.
Tan says to you, "I don't want you to forget who you're talking to, dear. Or do you want to show me this 'hell' right now, just so we can both know where each of us stands in relation to one another?"
*To Rid*
"That is fine, just so you know what you will be subjected to, the looks the unwanted attention. If that is your garb, it is your garb."
*To Tan*
"You seem to be the one throwing it in my face, that your naturally the more powerful one, treating me like some child, some weakling. I am not the same man you taught to fight, I have spent hundreds of years more making sure I wasn't going to be a burden to you dear. In the fight with the four, you didn't even consider that I was in the same realm as you or Jef. You would have been surprised about that assessment."
J
Doublepost.
Lotta doubleposts tonight.
Tan is looking you in the eye, her features concealing her feelings. "Me, throwing it in your face? While you go off to meet the Hokage, and leave me here with your shadow clone? When you come in here telling me you're going to show me hell without even asking what happened? I'm sorry if you feel like I treat you like you're weak, but I definitely won't be spoken to like that. If you want a fight it won't have been the first time I've had to fight family, but all the same I'd rather not have to kill you, for the childrens' sake."
*To Rid*
"You may go."
*To Tan*
"I have nothing but respect for your abilities. Do I think you are a better choice in a diplomatic mission, no. Am I afraid to fight you, no. If I fought you, would I be trying to kill you, no. If you have that little respect for my abilities, why would you even marry me in the first place? Ok I'll bite, what happened in the 15 minutes I was gone?"
J
"First off, I didn't marry you for your abilities, Jhiaxus. I didn't marry you for your looks, I didn't marry you for any other reason other than that I love you and the ideals you firmly stand for.
"This guy, here, left guy, used some kind of ability from right over there," she points to a window, "and it put mister shadow clone to sleep, so I pretended to sleep, too. So these four came into the cell, and I decided not to wait to see what they would do; I thought of you, so I spared their lives."
*Looks at her*
"I love you too, whether you know it or not, in any combat situation, you are pretty dismissive about what anyone else can do but yourself. I let it go until now because I do love you and you mean well. The reaction you just felt, is how I feel when you talk to me in such a tone."
*Pauses*
"Thank you for that, from now on we don't kill unless it's the enemy. Now lets see what these four have to say for themselves."
*To the first*
"Why did you attack us in there? Were you ordered, or was it something that caught your eye?"
J
Tan nods, and responds a little sheepishly, "Sorry. I admit... that I'm very used to looking out for myself, and most of the missions I've been on that I couldn't go solo I've had novices with me. It's been a long time since I had a partner. I'll... try to watch it."
The shinobi thinks better of spitting at you, but says, "I acted of my own accord because you are both a threat to our village, no matter what the Hokage says."
*To Tan*
"I'm sorry for getting out of line with you, but I really did train with you in mind. It wasn't to fight you, it was when we did get into a fight you would take a step back and say, he doesn't need me to protect him. That's why it got under my skin so."
*smiles to the Ninja*
"Number one, Good my clone was perfect, number two, did no one teach you about the Sharingan vs a Genjitsu. Your first clue something should have been up is my clone falling asleep. Had you done that to the real me, you would be nursing a full body cast right now. I am a nice guy, so I'm not even going to mention it to the Hokage. If you feel the need to you know fight it out, we can step over to the practice fields, and I can get loose a bit."
J
Tan shakes her head at you. "I never wanted to protect you; I never had that in mind at all. If I wanted to protect you, I never would have done everything I did to make sure I wouldn't have to."
§
The shinobi responds, "Yes, I misjudged you. I admit that. Will you untie us now?"
Tan suggests leaving them for a while to think about what they did. "I think they probably wanted to rape me."
Of course she would think that, though, and all four shinobi are vehemently denying any such intention.
*Cracks his neck*
*To Tan*
"Leaving them tied up doesn't allow them to make the choice. They have the choice to be truthful and walk away, or they can choose to fight, and if they fight, they choose to be rendered combat ineffective."
*Unties them*
"I would want to know for myself what choice they have made for themselves."
J.
As you untie them, they each stand and walk out of the room.
Val sighs. "You'd think the least they could've done was apologize."
Jewel says, "They aren't done. They know they can't do anything face to face, so they'll try to find some kind of leverage. They're probably working for someone, because that one wouldn't have been able to orchestrate something like this; he's a coward, and cowards don't organize assaults so quickly."
*Nods to Val and Jewel*
"They are likely working for Danzo, and they are probably part of his root organization. That is why you will all be starting your various trainings starting tomorrow. I'm sure he will strike again, but soon, he will have all the trouble he can deal with. We just all need to be vigilant."
*To Rid*
"I apologize for saying you had to change your dress, I had no idea it was traditional draconian summer garb. I just thought you wore it to be provocative. You will however get undo attention from the males in town, just, remember you are a lady now, and you represent your race."
J
Rid says to you, "I'm quite used to being a representative for my race."
§
Gosh, according to this timeline Kakashi made chunin at the tender age of 4.
§
A group of three Genin and their sensei walk in. They seem proud to be on a mission despite the low rank in must hold. One of the two kunoichi tells you, "We're here to escort you to your house."
*To Rid*
"With time, brings trust, and you must admit, what I have been told, and our one meeting, didn't give me a whole lot to go on. I will give you the benefit of the doubt as we get to know each other. You are my sister now, so I will treat you as I have been raised that a brother treats his sister. Although your never too old for noogies."
========================
*Yeah he is a phenom in the ninja world*
========================
*Nods to the kunoichi, gives a slight head bow*
"Thank you, please lead the way."
J
They lead you through the village to a large house (more of a mansion than a house, really), and the team leader hands you a key and says, "Well, this is it. Mission accomplished, guys." They head off, leaving your group at the front door.
*Looks at it*
"Um yeah this is huge, thanks."
*Helps everyone with their stuff come on and settle down*
"Everyone claim your own room."
*Makes sure everyone is settled, check the kitchen, makes a shopping list, checking out all the possible entry points, and generally, just getting to know this place before relaxing.*
*Finds a chair and just thinking about all the events in the last couple of days, knowing that this will be an interesting existence for awhile*
J
You explore your house, find many secret exits, and finally settle in, sitting down before a cozy fireplace.
You sit there for a time, then slowly begin to feel queasy; you hear what sounds like the screaming of millions of people within your head.
*I sit there holding my head in my hands preying to Odin for the first time. They may not have been in a war and died, but they fought for their lives vs the end of their universe, Hel does not deserve dominion over them.*
J
doublepost
Your prayer is interrupted by a stream of vomit coming from your mouth and nose rather suddenly.
It is a golden, viscous substance that is decreasing in size even as you are watching.
*That's scriff, that's not good, I kinda need that in me to um be a verser, I will find the others and see how they are doing.*
J
Val and Vicky have had the same reaction.
You find them in this huge place using your scriff sense.
*Make sure they are alright, I ask Val is she can still sense me through scriff sense*
J
She tells you that she can. "What do you think that was? All that screaming, and then, vomiting scriff..."
*Hangs his head*
"I think that was the Scriff we accumulated in that universe, they are all gone hun. I was preying for them, and I will continue to do so."
*Starts/Continues to pray*
