Ren entered the room and immediately she noticed what she assumed was a small troop of phasmids. With a slightly quizzicle look, she shrugged off what she saw, straightened her stance, and averted her eyes to the Kazekage. Bowing lightly, Ren began to speak. « Konnichiwa, Kazakage-sama. Kuutaru, Ren; recent graduate of the academy. I was stopping by to inquire about my headband. » With a small smile, she continued.
« Also, oku-sama, if you don't mind me asking: did I show up at a bad time ? I know it's not necessarily my place to say, but, you seem.. annoyed -- is there anything I can help you with ? »
« If it matters to you at all, you will find a way to justify any actions you may need to take. »

₪ Genin of Sunagakure ₪ ....
Ren stopped to assess the look on Kazekage Bastet's face. She couldn't help but feel like there was something more serious on her mind than tedious paperwork.
She relaxed her shoulders and shrugged loosely. Ren was relieved to hear the tone in the Kazekage's voice soften, if only slightly, as she spoke to her. « Indigo? » Ren asked. « I like bright colors best but I try not to stand out too much. It's easier getting things done when nobody knows you're there--That and indigo is the color of the "third eye;" intuition and perception.. »
Ren was not exactly the person who knew a lot about her inner self. She had always worried more about others and found herself oddly dumbfounded. She wondered if Kazakage Bastet thought she was an idiot for trailing away into thoughtlessness.
« I.. I.. » she choked on her tongue and scruntched up her lips. « I don't know -- I mean, I don't really know what to say. Nobosy ever asks me about myself. » Ren wracked her mind for trivia about herself but couldn't think of anything on the spot. « Well, I guess I'm a terrible speaker, » she said with a chuckle.
After a few moments, Ren finally thought of something she could present about her defined self. « For the most part, I'm quiet. I listen and I observe; I like to size people up before they break my boundaries, listen to their voices and tones, watch their actions and motions. I suppose I like to understand people and my surrounings on a different level than most people. » She smiled sweetly to Kazekage Bastet. « Was that, okay ? It sounded.. almost creepy to say out loud. I also love games.. especially Shogi! »
Ren didn't know if she would be an acceptable teammate to anybody but nothing was going to stop her from trying.
« Is there anything else you'd like to ask ? »
« If it matters to you at all, you will find a way to justify any actions you may need to take. »
« Be audacious! » |

"Good, good," Bast mumbled as a sign that she was still listening while she bent over backward to dig out an indigo headband. Her immediate response was cut short by the spastic fervor of someone who could only be Ukitiko. The scene that unfolded then brought a very slight smile to her lips.
"Godspeed, lad!" she called after the boy as he sped across the hall, her tone joking. As soon as he had gone, she tossed Ren an indigo headband. "He's quite energetic, he is. Your opposite, too, so he'd likely make for a good teammate if you wanted to train with him. He's obviously interested in you, at the very least."
As the aromas of food wafted across the hall, Bast was reminded of her cup of tea, which she promptly drank in one long gulp.
"Ah... Sorry, where were we? Oh, yes, your assessment of yourself. Let me give you a piece of advice as someone who's rather experienced at this sort of thing: introspection is a very useful tool when learning about others. The better you know how you work, the easier it gets to see how others work. Doubtless you'll run into Sanshi Satetsu at some point, so if you'd like, you could pick his mind for a proverb to go with that."
A few papers shuffled across her desk without her touching them. After they settled, a few more of the insect-like pens darted out from under them and into the dark recesses of the desk. The woman gave the papers a cursory glance, muttered something, and then pushed them aside.
"At any rate, we should get you on your way, yes? Jutsu scrolls and all manner of reference materials are available in the library, though you're only allowed access to techniques up to C-Rank currently without special permissions. The Academy is staffed and set up to handle Ninjutsu and Genjutsu training especially well, and the Training Grounds are equally good for Taijutsu and Bukijutsu. If you wish to spar with someone, either of those two places or the Eternal Rain Forest are fairly well isolated. I can hand out missions at any time, and am usually free to talk if you'd enjoy that too. It is highly suggested that you get to know your colleagues, since they'll be the ones at your side in times of strife, just as you will be at theirs. If all this seems acceptable to you, then I welcome you to Sunagakure!" |

✿Well. This was certainly intimidating. Two Anbu by the door? Fia pulled at her collar, tugging it up then to the left as she stood, eying them uncomfortably. Pass between them? Really? Urhhn! Passing between them, I really don't. she thought, flexing gloved fingers Headband though... It wasn't that she didn't couldn't simply walk past the two and knock on the door. It was the proximity. The fact that getting too close to one or the other on one side was uncomfortable. The chance of accidentally touching was....painful. Letting out a sigh, she readjusted her collar so it was clean, with no wrinkles. Smoothing her skirt, she stepped up, knee high boots clicking softly on the ground as she passed between the two Anbu. Fia kept her hands close to her sides, holding her skirt delicately so it wouldn't touch anything Kazekage, here I come. she knocked on the door softly, leather covered knuckles muffling the sound on the wood.✿

₪ Genin of Sunagakure ₪ ....
As Uki hotfootedly bolted in, embraced her, and and bolted out, Ren only had time to blink. She furrowed her eyebrows to suggest that she deplored such actions but as she brushed the ethral compassion from her hooded pullover, couldn't help but smile slow and knowingly. « Oh, Uki.. »
With her left hand outstretched, Ren caught her headband and tightened her grip around the metal plaque. She stood admiring it's symbol and rivets as though it were somehow aesthetic to her over-analytical mind. Ren looked to the Kazekage and nodded at the mention of Uki being her opposite. Ever since she first met Uki in the academy, Ren was well-aware of their polarized personalities. « I honestly can't imagine Uki finding out that I shaped up and finally graduated the academy and NOT trying to physically force me into training with him, » said Ren with candor.
Ren listened intently to Bastet's strong, yet, inexplicably familiar voice. Not quite able to pinpoint it, the tone; the inflection, which the Kazekage spoke reminded her skin of some fond, far-off memory which she could not quite bng to light. In her mind. In her head the words quietly pounded.. " The better you know how YOU work, the easier it is to see how OTHERS work. " Ren thought for sure she could learn something more than what she already generalized from this statement. However, for now, she would concentrate mainly on building her strengths through a great deal of observation and hard work; she assumed the pieces would fit together eventually; they just needed time to click.
Ren waited until the Kazekage's monotonus locution (or, at least to Bastet herself it probably was) over. Afterward, she bowed gratefully toward her superior but stopped mid-arc to be rudely interrupted by her resounding gut. Ren looked up sharply with a pained expression. « Arigato, Kazekage-sama! » she said hurriedly. « It's been surprisingly wonderful but I should probably go find Ukitiko.. and some dinner; I haven't eaten all day. » Ren smiled once again, this time more heart-warmingly, and casually held up her hand and fingers to wave before turning heel and heading out the office door. [End]
« If it matters to you at all, you will find a way to justify any actions you may need to take. »
« Be audacious! » |

"Phase where? I'm there!"
Info:
[Two only]
[Current Shinranbanshou form: Unknown (known to those that have seen it)]
[Equipped: Golem of Sitting While Moving]
[Sennin Moodo & Ryousei no Jutsu]
Flipping some flapjacks, Two nodded silently towards Uki's location. In front of the young man was a thin book with several page markers in them. If Uki opened the book, he'd find that it was all in braille, except for the pages marked. At the head of the first one was scrawled 'Three is in the basement,' along with the first Fuuinjutsu, Fuuin Houin [ Seals Sealing ]. The second page marker held Kekkai Houjin [ Barrier Method Battle Array ], while the third one held Sanjūroku-jū no Saisei Kekkai [ Thirty-Six Layer Self-Repairing Barrier ]. The more detailed descriptions were all muddled in braille, but the general versions were readable. Uki may simply be able to learn any of them from those, but detailed questions should be directed to Three, downstairs in the mad scientist's type of lab. Even from here, a lengthy cackle could be heard above the sizzle of bacon.

Bast chuckled softly at Ren's comments. The girl looked much more relaxed and comfortable now than when she had first arrived; this, Bast determined, was undoubtedly a good thing, so long as it didn't get out of hand.
"He certainly seems that way, yes," the Kazekage commented.
As the girl left, the woman gave a similar wave back, trying not to let her mind wander to thoughts of food. Until this point, she had delayed answering the knock, since it had been apparent that Ren was headed out soon anyway; now that the Office was free, however, the woman beckoned in the well-dressed and undoubtedly nervous-looking Fiametta. It seemed everyone had a pit in their stomach these days except for a certain speedster.
"Come in, come in," she bade the new arrival. "Are you another Academy graduate? Don't let the ANBU bother you; they're only models anyhow."
At this comment, one of the ANBU would look at the other with as close to a quizzical look as can be had through a mask. The other one shrugged, confirming fairly well that they weren't models but, in fact, either genuine, living human beings or such good approximations that it wouldn't matter even if they weren't.

✿Fia quickly stepped inside, using her hand to push the door open a little more. She didn't look at the Anbu, her attention focused on the Kazekage now, but if she'd seen them move, it would have made her jump. As it was, her boots tapped lightly as she came to stand before the Kazekage, smoothing one side of her skirt that was wrinkled "Fiammetta Gagane. I am a recent graduate, yes." her voice had a slight accent to it, a roll that ended in an almost breathy sigh. It made everything sound slightly like she had a question but it also made her voice soft and hard to hear "I would, please, like a headband and to begin training, if all right." she tapped the toe of her boot a bit then stilled, attempting a small smile as she brought her gloved hands together in front of her.✿

✿Adjusting her shoulders a bit, Fia watched the pen fly Please, do not strike me. she thought, willing the pen to fly away from her, which it did. Turning her attention back to the Kazekage, she nipped at her bottom lip a bit "I am a taijutsu fighter and a performer, preferring dance and song to fighting and shouting. I am skilled in fan display and acrobatics as well as small knife fighting. I am of fire and wind." she dipped her head a bit, wondering if she was bragging? It didn't feel like that but....perhaps it sounded that way "My goal? I....I do not have a goal. I am becoming a shinobi to...to learn my way." her helplessness was clear as she clenched her hands, nudging some air around with her boot. Fiammetta didn't have anything that she wanted to accomplish. Her life was to make up for the death of her mother...that was it. Nothing more. She didn't have anything else to strive for yet "I would like a blue headband, if you please. Something to wear on my waist, so long, please."✿

Incidentally, Bast had just rooted past a headband that fit the request perfectly, and so pawed back through the pile quickly until she happened upon it again. She checked the binding on it with a quick flick of the moorings and then tossed it gently toward Fiammetta. She sat up smoothly and looked the girl over; the latter would probably see her own reflection in the lenses of the woman's goggles.
"Your uncertainty is fine, and even welcomed, so long as it doesn't jeopardize anyone. You have a while yet to determine what you're striving for, and you may find it in your teachers and colleagues. Though he's currently out on a mission, you may find Ken Ookita--more commonly known as 'Knives'-- and Manfread Bogojlanskist useful resources in your physical combat studies. Aika Nakata and Kaori Raigyo might prove to be useful partners for your studies, though I encourage you to speak with the others as well. Sanshi Satetsu is the head teacher; if you have any questions, I'm sure either he or I can answer them. Self-study is important, too, so don't feel like you have to be with others all the time. The library will let you borrow scrolls up to C-Rank as a Genin, and Academy and Training Grounds are good places to study spiritual and physical arts, respectively. If you get in a fight, please confine it to someplace away from common areas." Bast took a deep breath and then yawned softly. "That's the abridged version. If you need missions or want to talk, I'm here. You're free to go on your way, if you have no questions."
Bast leaned her elbows on the desk and propped her head up on her hands, giving a friendly smile to Fiammetta. It would be interesting to see how these new recruits would shape up, but the evening was wearing on and Bast was starting to feel the pangs of hunger that heralded an untold-of eating spree. |

✿Using both hands to catch the headband, Fiammetta almost dropped it, crouching to catch it against her knees. She quickly pulled it better into her grip and listened quietly to the Kazekage's words "I will take your words under advisement." she bowed fully, letting her hair fall about her shoulders before she straightened "Thank you. Good bye." abrupt? Rather. Turning on a boot, Fia left the office with her headband, wondering if she should go to the library first or go speak to her foster parents.
