Hanna walked into the residential district with her crystal forming about the size of pebble in her hand. She moved it around and into different shapes. She looked up as she moved through the district and avoided collisions with some of the people. You could move that crystal straight into that woman's neck. Why must you taunt me now? She thought.[1/4] She could control the crystal, why couldn't she control the voices? Hanna gave a sigh and grew the crystal to the size of a rock. She made it into a small peacock and gave a smile as a little girl watched her. She didn't speak but pointed to a small pile of debri.[2/4] Hanna leaned down and heard a small mew. One sec and I'll get him out. Hanna put the crystal she had in her hand on the ground and found a place where all the debri came together. She made the crystal grow again and wrap around the mid point then push it up. A small black kitten made its way to the little girl.[3/4] Hanna patted the little girl on the shoulder and made her way to where she saw Toso sitting with an older woman. She needed to do one last thing before meeting with him and made two pillars in the middle of the road. She gave a smile at the way the pink was shining against the cold. She made them vanish and walked over to the pair sitting on the bench.[4/4] Toso...ma'am She said waving to the two.
Carrying her bags over her shoulder Inori sighed as she walked the street towards her new apartment. Much to her chagrin her old one had been destroyed at some point during the storm. Oh well, at least she managed to save the majority of her cloths, music, and instruments from the demolition. Pushing her key into the door she opened it and locked it behind her. Heading into her room she noticed that there was some things in the apartment that wernt hers. So her roommate had been here before, interesting. Absently wondering who it was she sighed and changed out her kimono and with practiced hands pulled the thick black wig from her head and stashed it into her closet. Undoing her bun she let her natural red hair fall to her shoulders.
Pulling her headband off she tied it around her waist and then proceeded to slide her new scroll into the slots on her vest. Once they were all in place she fastened the clasps securing them. Next she, very carefully, placed the five sheets of kaifu paper into a pouch on her hip. Next came the issue of finding where she would store all of her Kunai and shuriken. The holster on her thigh would hold the five senbon, five kunai and ten of the shuriken. Then again the more she thought about it the more she came to realize that she wouldnt use the senbon for anything. After all when it came to projectiles she could throw a kunai much farther and much much more accurately. So pulling said senbon out she let them roll onto the bed and stuffed the last of the shuriken into the holster. Now that she was armed, armored and prepared she felt she was ready to head out.
Though while one part of her was concerned about how people would react to her red hair, the other half of her was more than happy to get to actually show her real hair instead of the wig her manager forced her to wear for normality's sake." Heading back into the living room she looked around searching for a pencil and some paper so that she could leave a note for her new roommate. Once she managed to find it she quickly scribbled the note and left it on the small table in the living room before heading out in search of Wan.
[exit] (note in spoiler)
"HELLO THERE, Sorry that I missed bumping into you when you were moving your stuff in but things have been kinda hectic lately. Anyway, I look forward to getting to know you roomie and I hope we get along swimmingly."
Himito stepped her way along lazily. Of all the things she was to be doing, the girl wasn't terribly pleased to be dealing with the elderly. Frankly, she didn't quite want to deal with anyone. The young man selected as her squad leader was acquainted with her sister, but that didn't really indicate what kind of person he was. Himito rounded the corner, where everyone seemed to localize themselves at the behest of the elderly. The dark haired girl strolled on by, having pondered over her way to contribute with minimal conversation.
Knocking upon the door of one of the residential locations, she waiting for the door to open up. An elderly man presented himself, the senile smile upon his face. "Hello, sir. I'm making rounds here to see if anyone has grocery runs they need done for them?" inquired Himito, It was a safe inquiry, one that minimized her personal experience to her own space. [1/6]
"Oh? Oh! A delivery service? I uh... Well, yes. Let me get a list!"
Himito couldn't help but sigh in relief, knowing that this was quite possibly the blessing she needed. A few more homes like this and she'd be able to simply pick up and deliver the goods with minimal sob stories. It was just the kind of job that Himi needed.

Toso's conversation with old woman had finally ended on the terms in which she would no longer have the ability to loop. Hanna in addition seemed to have helped in the situation with her kind smile and gesture. Toso had caught glimpse of Nathaniel and to an even lesser extent, Himito after Hanna's arrival. Unfortunately...Himito had taken evasive maneuvers perhaps to dodge the fact she was late. Wan's words echoed "If you do this mission alone, you will be returned to the academy to learn the basics of teamwork." Toso would make a dissatisfied Bloop beneath his collar. Had she learned the principles of teamwork at all? Hanna seemed to have been the only one to actually give the squid the time of day. It had done Toso well that he consulted an Anbu in regards to who these individuals were. After all Toso's memory may have been good, but it wasn't so good as to recall what the others of the academy looked like now that they've aged.
Removing the sheet of paper from the lining of his outfit he'd give Hanna a friendly welcoming Bloop. "As per these pictures you must be Hanna. I'm glad to say bloop. You were the first whose seemed to have shown an ounce of communication with their squad lead bloop." Toso would then stand from his possession on the bench and give a friendly bowing gesture to the woman he had been conversing with. Despite what dementia, senility, and alzheimer's she had she understood the gesture. 'thank you for your time.' She'd say meekly as she herself stood up and proceeded to enter the center.
Toso would then raise his noodly appendage and signaled his first order with a bloop "Hanna Bloop, if you don't mind. Nathaniel-san entered the facility. Could you bring him here please so that we may convene. I have to gather our third. Bloop. Oh Bloop by here I suppose I should be more specific bloop. The center of this pathway here Bloop. " Toso would then proceed with an administrative glint in his eyes as he headed in the direction of Himito's last known location. Finally he'd notice the colorfully haired nin at the door of one of the tenants patiently waiting. With an ominous bloop from behind he'd tap her shoulder. "Bloop now you must be Himito. I can't have you running off doing things on your own bloop. You were a bit late but I see now you're trying to compensate for said lost time bloop. Quite admirably so but we're a team lest not forget"
"Here you go young miss, oh?"
The elderly gentleman would find a extending appendage reaching out to acquire the list of goods. "Thank-you sir bloop.""Oh ah, no problem. Just, you may want to hurry that favorite shop of mine closes pretty early." The list contained what would appear to be alcohol and general necessities of fruits and vegetables. The list made sure to specify the alcohol must be of a low proof. Chances are this was most likely in reference to the elderly individual's level of tolerance. Analyzing the list himself he would hand it to it's intended owner being Himito. The store was just a few blocks away. Nothing too exorbitant. "Bloop now, how about we rendevouz the rest of our team yes. Bloop" With that Toso would lead but make deathly sure Himito was following. If she tried to stray from the beaten path she'd find a noodly appendage politely guiding her in the right direction. It wasn't far from the center of elderly home. They would all convene in the center of the pathway. In the time it took to get there he had hoped Hanna had informed nathaniel or that Nathaniel was already on route.

xxxxx The older woman had taken a break in her story-telling so Nathaniel could fetch a glass of water. After drinking the whole thing, slowly, she sighed with satisfaction. "Do you think we could go outside for a bit?" Nathaniel immediately answered in the affirmative, happy to get out of the dusty place and find some fresh air. He held his arm out so she could grasp his elbow and they made it to the pathway, where the genin overheard Toso. "Bloop now, how about we rendevouz the rest of our team yes. Bloop."
The genin came up behind his leader with a nod. "Oh, hey. We all heading out?"

"That we are." Toso gave an affirmative nod as the group had gathered. Hanna ideally having followed Nathaniel and Himito still corralled. It seemed there would be reassurance amidst the group silent or otherwise implying that everyone was aptly prepared for the trek. Onward. However, in Nathaniel's case the old woman bearing notice to all the headbands of the individuals seemed to form a rather displeased or disappointed grimace.
"I should get going deary." The old woman would then free herself from Nathaniel's grasp only now realizing that he to wore a headband as if it wasn't apparent enough with his exclamation toward his squad leader the fact he was a shinobi seemed to affect her in a way. The way she walked back into the facility seemed slower than normal and her body visibly seemed to dropped from a grateful positive to a despondent negative.
"Bloop I'm glad you're making friends as well Nathaniel-bloop. We'll be heading toward Tamakunō. It's a corner store a few blocks away from here. Let's make haste everyone bloop. Together." Friendliness came from the squids voice but in truth Toso to saw the dower exit of the older woman as she took her leave. Concerned for his squad members well being Toso would offer a limp stretchy appendage to pat him on the back. "Worry not about her reservations Nathaniel. Bloop. This is the path of redemption we must walk bloop. We shall restore their faith Bloop...and our own because what has feeling sorry for oneself ever accomplished right everyone? Bloop bloop bloop."
With blooping laughter to lighten the mood the unit would proceed toward the corner store. Needless to say the group would be getting their fair share of stares and the occasional 'accident' possibly dirtying their clothes or partially provoking a fall or trip. Yes, Kumogakure was indeed cold today, but this would not be in reference to the current weather. Finally the group would arrive at the corner store. Where there squad leader would humbly open the door.
"Hanna-chan you seem well versed in agriculture. Bloop. Forgive me if I'm stereotyping Bloop." A small bead of sweat formed on the squids forehead before he regained his ability to speak. "So I'd like you to head to the fruit section to find the peaches and tangerines our client wants...Himito-chan I'd like you to handle the celery and cauliflower and anything on the list I may have forgotten bloop. Nathaniel-kun Bloop. You obtain the meat bloop. Ah. I should inform you the client is looking for tenderloin. I'll acquire the alcohol bloop. Alright team I'll add some playful team building incentive to this to bloop. I'll pay 100 ryo to whoever gets to the register first bloop, excluding myself of course. Just be vigilant of the other customers so no rampant dashing. Ready set...Bloop. With that Bloop signaling the go Toso made his way towards the isle where liquor would be kept. He was moving at a spry yet controlled pace as the owners eye's seemed to be watching each individual in a hawk like manner with extreme prejudice.

xxxxx Nathaniel had been rather satisfied with their visit to the residency, but especially since they were almost done. There was something in the atmosphere at old folks' homes that he couldn't put his finger on... but it was something he didn't like. When his dependent saw all of them, headbands worn out with pride, she uncomfortably shifted away. "I should get going deary." His jaw actually dropped, but she didn't seem to notice as she walked back, some form of betrayal, maybe defeat carrying her feet. He tried not to dwell on the haunting image.
The trip to the store was as easy expected, which is to say, not at all. His body moved fine, but it felt like his head was lost with the older woman, trying to figure out what the ******** just happened. Nathaniel had been briefed on the reality of Kumogakure when Wan had given a... presentation. But seeing the actuality of the situation? His heart ached. "Nathaniel-kun Bloop. You obtain the meat bloop. Ah. I should inform you the client is looking for tenderloin."
Nathaniel had started inching away at the order, but was still in hearing distance by the time Toso finished. He just wanted to get this over and done with so he could work on justifying the village's tragedy, but he couldn't do it alone. Anyways, he was sure that these small hand-held missions were for that exact purpose. His mind was still in conflict as he approached the meat counter. He pointed at the large lump of meat and informed the man, "I'm gonna need that one." The man eyed the genin suspiciously before grabbing the meat, pulling it around to look at sticker on the back. He typed in the weight and used the sheet beside his register to find the price per pound. He typed it in and handed a receipt to him, along with the meat. Nathaniel nodded and gave thanks. Then he walked over to the main register and handed over the receipt so he could pay up.

Miko Tengoku || Kumogakure | Genin [C-rank] || Class :: Puppeteer/ Sensor || Chakra :: 655/655 || Stamina :: 220/220
✰[Continuing through their walk over to the residential district...]
Miko would look over her shoulder at Hiro as he'd muster the courage or at least some base in his voice to communicate his views to Miko. It was a horrible day so far and it wasn't going to get any better with out Miko finding some base of sobering reality to grasp onto mentally. She wanted to know if these two had strong feelings, any strong feelings about what they were doing as Shinobi. Hiro's answer, well it wasn't exactly a full perspective but it was receptive and that was at least something that could be adapted as he saw the landscape of his reality changing. It wasn't her resolution to the points she posed but she had gained some respect for the oddly mousey taller and older genin who seemed frail next to a girl fairly a head shorter than him but possibly out weighed him. they made a slightly odd couple, or more over looked more like a brother and sister duo from some kind of comedy. Perking up at the thought, Miko's expression would change to that of a slight sheepish smirk.
"Ight, so your take on things Hiro is to just receive the world, take it all on, but at the sometime be aware there's somethings we shouldn't...It's not my brand, but I guess it's flexible without being totally weak sauce, che. " She'd note the slight tone of anger in his voice concerning letting go of Honsho's hand, to which Miko's smirk would only widen. Honsho's retort was a bit more grounded, but it still didn't resolve the point of her extended questioning. Miko continued on into the district noting bad looks being sent their way, but she'd keep her hands folded into her sleeves ignoring the lot of them, and keeping her mind focused on her rookie teammates. sucking on her teeth and then clicking her tongue on the roof of her mouth Miko would then take one of her hands from her sleeves to rub at her chin still grinning at their hand holding.
"Well if you two feel comfortable like that, so be it. No sweat off my back if ya wanna stick to each other. Probably for the best. This being likely either of you's first official mission you wouldn't want to lose each other on the way on the first day. Though I gotta say Honsho without being cruel compassion to one can be damnation to another. Say you had to save someone and you could only save one and even f you gave your life you'd only be able to trade it for the one person...what then? It doesn't have to be cruel but you need to be prepared for when it does become that. I'd say your Oni-chan over on your hand there has a philosophy that might help, close your eyes and when receiving the fact that you'll fail one for another at your convenience, that could help you sleep at night...Che, let me just say it's good to look ahead and know that not every horizon has a silver lining, but if you knuckle down and bare through you might find one that does. My answer is perseverance and community. So! lets go meet the community, and preserver through their barbs and insults and sneers for the betterment of the village." Miko walked up to a residence and would look at the missive checking if she'd gotten the right address before knocking on the door. At first there wasn't any sound, but once she knocked again the sound of several dogs barking in chorus came blaring through the door.
"WHO IS IT!"
"Yea, Hello Miss we're the genin you requested to walk your pets while you're injured! "
"WELL IT TOOK YOU LONG ENOUGH, YOU SHINOBI ARE GOOD FOR NOTHING! COULDN'T EVEN COME AND HELP ME GET BACK TO MY HOUSE AFTER I LEFT THE HOSPITAL", the voice seemed to get louder through the door until it was unlocked and cracked open releasing the smell of several dogs breath heavily panting next to their owner. Inside was an old woman maybe in her fifties of sixties and she was a wheel chair her foot having lost a few toes from frostbite. Miko would wait to be invited in with a wave and would look back at her teammates still holding her smirk, but much more subdued and would wave them in as well with a shrug of her shoulder and follow the woman to her kitchen.
"Alright! I used to run a kennel in this village and I've taken to adopting the poor pups who weren't so lucky to find a home with a family int he village. So I've up to 8 dogs here living with me and i need you to walk all of them and let them do their business and clean it up before letting them walk around a bit more and bring them back. If you need bags for the clean up I've a draw full of'em near the sink. Their leashes are on the key holster by the door, and I'm gonna watch my shows. So keep it down and don't spoke my boys." nuzzling one of the dogs to her face that was up to at least waist high on Hiro made Miko tilt her head in curiosity. I hope they're not all that big. Luckily for the team the dogs ran a range of different breads. The one next tot he woman at the time was a bloodhound.
turning to her teammates in jest and splaying her hands out in a "ta-da" fashion Miko would announce in a moderate voice, "Welcome to the glamorous life of a shinobi~, grab some poop bags."
"I SAID KEEP IT DOWN IN THERE!!!"

Resolution: The user is more determined to get fine details from his sensory techniques, but in order to get this type of clarity the user's range of the technique is reduced by half. The user is able to discover type of technique that is about to be active (fuuin, genjutsu, ninjutsu, custom jutsu, complex tai and buki), even specifics such as Bloodline type and rank. Additionally, the user can gain similar information about any chakra source in their sensory technique's range, including what bloodline the person possesses, and how large their chakra pool is.
Technique Name: Buraindotacchi: Douteki Giketsu [Blind Touch: Kinetic Resolution] Rank: X-Rank (E-S) [Only E-rank right now] Type: Taijutsu_Training Element: Taijutsu Description: A trained physical sensory ability that is an extended and refined blend between ones muscle memory and a heightened sense of touch. Trough training one can “read” and remember kinetic motion of physical objects around themselves as long as some form of motion (vibration) is happening around them, and there after differentiates them specifically committing the sensation to memory. (New sensations are responded to vaguely if not committed to memory/identified already.) This ability has only a 6-yards [3-yards] cubic range, and works better on the ground/in water. Where vibrations are involved mid-air sensing isn’t exact. The practitioner retains a slight increase in reflexes over their current Rank standard from this ability, and when retrained this boost also increase from slightly, to mildly, to moderately and etc. Though passive this ability drains stamina when used to dodge equal to the rank of the technique being avoided with in the trained limit!

Hanna would follow Toso and the others and quietly slipped past Toso as he held open the door. She said thanks before he started giving her orders, and listened with a finger tapping her thigh. So many dead. They don't trust you anymore! HA HA no one does She hid the hurt her own voices in her head gave with just barely a nod and a smile to Toso. She tried to show she hadn't taken any offense to what he said, and just went to the produce section of the store. First the peaches. They were peculiar fruit and slightly fuzzy with a giant seed in the middle of them, they kind of reminded her of baby birds feathers. She grabbed a few and moved over to the tangerines. Their scent for some reason brought about a feeling of happiness...why was that? She shrugged her shoulders and got a few of those before getting in the line at the register to purchase the fruits. As she waited she adjusted the headband on her thigh as it had gotten just a little too loose from all the moving around. By the time she was done with that the line had moved upward. Not so bad....to wait.
༺ Honō Hokori༻ [ "A shinobi who succumbs to their nature is a shinobi lesser than I." ]
༇ So it was witnessed...
Honō frowned and ducked his head. Why was she so belittling? If felt like her way was the only way and anything else would have her laughing at them. And she doesn't even bother properly learning her students' names... As Miko went on and on, leaving Honō gritting his teeth with a face schooled into being mildly respectful. Years of growing up under the hard hand of the head family of his clan had taught him that much. But at least they had the manners to be open minded to their clan members' woes. He kept his head ducked as they passed through the village, eyes barely high enough to stay on Miko's back as they followed her. Upon entering the abode Honō finally released Honsho's hand so as to allow her to enter first without the awkward pull of the Worker class genin behind her. As soon as the old lady gave her instructions and left the room, Honō was scanning the room and the dogs rolling about almost as soon as they had entered Honō was being excitedly greeted by some of the dogs, bouncing and yipping excitedly. The animals kept wagging their tails and bounding in and out of the kitchen, their energy levels nearly palpable.
The only way Honō was able to do any kind of count if they had all the animals in their vacinity was by the diversity of their breeds and markings. Three - five... six, seven... seven... where is number eight? Honō tried to bend down and peer under tables and around corners to try to find the missing last dog, only to be met by dog tongue and paws as they jumped up on him. Amongst all the yapping, Honō realised that there was one constant barking that didn't sync with any of the dogs surrounding them in the kitchen. Steeping away from Miki and Honsho to try and prevent them all from being knocked over in all the excitement, Honō splayed out his hands before him and continued gently yet firmly brushing off the animals that kept bouncing up on him. It took several minutes, but, eventually, the canines began to realise he wasn't going to allow the behaviour and ceased trying. When they appeared to stop, Honō knelt down to one knee - only to incite more jumping. Yet he kept the stance, moving to to just keep his calm ruling that, no, you are not allowed to jump on me, thank you. Some of the animals seemed to calm down in his presence, even going so far as to sit down, while most of them continued bouncing around, knocking each other over.

Strengths: • Evironmental Lens: Ia able to accurately estimate the weaknesses and viable exploits in the surrounding environment. Be it the stabilising pebble at the base of the wall, or the angle needed to fell a tree where needed.
• Soldering Teammate: Honō will support his teammates by means of supplying weapons, tripping up the opponent, or manipulating the environment to his allies' advantage. Honō will watch his teammate(s) to get familiar with their tells, thus becoming more and more accurate in reading their intentions.
• Sleek Steps: Due to his training in the Hari clan, Honō has no difficulty traversing slippery surfaces, even over uneven terrain.
• Latticino Hands Honō's work has gained him steady hands and the ability to perform minute, detailed work. Finicky work, such as the setting up even the most intricate traps, holds less trouble for him.
Weaknesses: • Cracks: Honō was never trained for proper combat, and as such has a tendency to flee instead of fight, especially when out numbered. When hit with an attack, his urge to flee only increases.
• Jewelled: Honō's choice in clothing marks him out from other shinobi; restricting his movements slightly and hindering most chances at stealth.
• Fragility: Trained in his work instead of his responsibilities as a shinobi, Honō lacks the strength most individuals garner from their everyday training.
Fears: • Broken Shards: Knowing he isn't the most skilled shinobi in the village, Honō fears his teammates will leave him behind if he fails to meet their expectations.
• Shattered: Honō was never the strongest, or masculine, individual in Kumo. He fears this makes him a target of assault; verbal or physical. Whenever he leaves the workshop he is constantly anxious and alert of his surroundings, misreading the words and reactions of the people around him to negatively apply to him.
Class Disciplines : • Legendary Smith The user is able to gain a 5th title rank from every applicable smithing tree. 'Training' for Legendary takes 10 posts of crafting work, provides an additional 1 post off of crafting times, and gives a Grandmaster NPC (of the same area) for usage. In addition, any item solo crafted (without an npc helper) is non-reproducible by non-Legendary titled smiths.
• Balanced Master Any jutsu learned can be paid for with either chakra, stamina, or a mix of the two. Any further chakra types are also subject to this. Recovery amounts for chakra and stamina are doubled while working, and working counts as relaxing.
• Lifetime Disciple This discipline is for those wishing to gain from a lifetime master, never to be one themselves until their master is deceased. Gaining knowledge from over the course of their studies, the disciple will receive twice the benefits from each of their master's smithing trees (up to their completed titles), while in the living presence of them. After their master's death, they will successfully pass on a permanent, one-quarter of the benefit to their own Lifetime Disciple, if any. (round up to the nearest applicable number, as designated in the smithing thread)
Reductions: • N/A
Personal Attributes: • A Natural's Touch: After long study and a certain knack at birth, Honō has what many people call a "natural talent" for creation of glass objects. Because of this, every third creation is exceptionally superb, granting a 50% increase to profits made from that item.
• Black Glass Mentality: Honō's years of training with Katon [ Fire ] jutsu and glassmaking and mainpulation jutsu has helped him learn a deeper understanding of volcanic glass. As such, his experiments with enchanting any volcanic glass with Gellal has been cut by half.

Upon attaining the appropriate alcoholic beverage, a brand by the name of mountain love brand sake the squid would proceed to the check out. He had taken quite the amount of time. Of course this was intentional, he didn't see it possible that the others hadn't finished before him. However, as he strolled down the isles he'd spot Himito moving again at her own pace. Was it because she was unsure? Was it because she having internal dilemma? Toso wasn't sure. He'd provide the girl with a friendly appendage as he had done before resting it on her shoulder and glancing over it to review the list in her possession. He'd aid her with his other appendage collecting what was left to be collected. Thus eventually rendezvousing with Hanna and Nathaniel. "Looking at the line it seems Nathaniel-kun has taken the lead bloop."
With the short line having moved gradually when it came all of their turns it only made sense everyone would placed their products to be purchased all at once.
500 Ryouthe voice would speak plainly in a gruff manner. Yes, it seemed just a slight bit pricier than it should have been by about 50 Ryou to be exact. Mayhaps then everyone realized that in the event of taking the list from the client, the client hadn't provided them the actual funds to pay for the groceries. Was this a mistake on Toso's part? No he knew full well the client had no intention of actually paying for his own goods. Not out of senility but out of a passive aggressive assertion. Toso, however, seemed to act in a way that this was simply punishment for their failures. As their leader, he would shoulder this punishment so that they would not have to. Before anyone else could reach for their wallets Toso would hastily place the required amount of legal tender on the counter as if it were a decisive strike or killing blow.
"Bloop" With the payment now being processed Toso wondered if any would have realized what he had just did. Truthfully only Himito would know that the money was indeed his own and not the elderly individuals but the others may have developed some suspicion. As the store owner bagged the produce and everything else he'd provide the receipt. Toso would then distribute the bags evenly amidst the members before ultimately leading the to the exit. Opening the door for everyone as it was shut behind them the owner would turn the sign to signify the establishments closure. The sun was now in a full setting state. The day was coming to an end.
The squad would gather back at the home for the elderly seeing many had long already retreated to their beds. Approaching the door of the individual who sought after the goods Toso would deliver a knock. A disgruntled moan from the other end was followed with heavy footsteps and a raspy "Yeh who is it?!"With a flinging open of the door the old man behind it went from angered to only slightly peeved. "Bout time. Ye'd think with yer young shinobi legs you'd get a job done lot faster.""Sincerest apologies bloop." an apology was all Toso could provide, he looked for any signs of violence in his squads eyes or attempts at rebuttal. If any tried to voice their aggressions he'd be sure to silence them with a hand over their mouth. The distribution of the good would thus be complete and the man would end his statement with"Guess you shinobi ain't so useless after all." It was a backhanded compliment but at least it could be considered to have some positive inclination. Earning the trust of the people back would be a slow but possible process. Maybe it would have become more clear as the elderly man did not offer any monetary compensation for the purchases.
Toso would then gather the team in the elderly homes plaza as the sun came to a full set as darkness slowly loomed. "Ah, Bloop. Well that completes todays mission. I hope to see you all again here tommorrow at around the same time Bloop. Well Bloop, with that being said you're free of my jurisdiction." Toso would then produce missives to hand to each of his members to certify their participation in the days events and upon reaching Nathaniel provided him with his extra reward of 100 ryou..assuming he'd accept it or not. "Ah, now this isn't an order, but I'd like to give you all some homework. Bloop. It may seem silly bloop, but I'd like each of you to draw one another's faces to share with one another tommorrow morning. Bloop. If nobody has anything else to add you are all dismissed. Bloop."
((OoC: The Next Deadline for mission progress will be end of Sat the 25th. Until then there is no post order as now whatever is posted before then can be considered inter-squad discussion about the day or last words before goodbyes until the following morning. Counting Nathaniel's, Toso's, and Hanna's actions since the last count Assist the Elderly Mission 6/6 Complete. ))

xxxxx Nathaniel raised a brow at the speed Toso gave the man money, but didn't say anything. His mood had definitely suffered because of the previously-kind woman. Swallowing around a sour taste, Nathaniel followed his leader back to the plaza, where they handed over the goods and received a backhanded compliment. His mood had drained his energy, too, so he didn't put up a fight. Probably couldn't. Toso had turned to them so cautiously that he was sure any attempt of one would be stopped immediately. The squid-man handled everything with control and cool; if the genin had to tell the truth he'd say he was impressed at the lack of outburst.
Night fell as Toso gathered them. Nathaniel accepted the missives and, with slight hesitation, the extra reward. Toso then asked them to draw each other. He raised a brow again, then decided he would draw Hanna since he didn't know her too well. He glanced at her face and took a quick mental snapshot of what it looked like. He was no artist, of course, so it'd look pretty questionable regardless. "See y'all tomorrow," he said as he dismissed himself.

"Bloop, adieu Nathaniel-kun, Hanna-chan, Himito-chan, it was a lovely time. Bloop. The night is still young. Bloop. I'll be heading to the training field before our next reunion bloop. If you happen to not be too exhausted feel free to accompany me. Bloop." With these words Toso made sure to look closely at his squads faces with a blank and calm expression before giving Himito and Hanna a soft but firm hug pushing the two of them together ever so slightly. "Bloop let's all be the best of friends. Bloooooop." With that Toso would release his embrace and lash out his arms as they whistled in the wind grabbing on to the nearest pole and jettisoning the squid through the sky leaving the hair of the two girls to flutter from his take off." ~Exit Temp
Ooc: There will be a 'downtime' after each mission completion. Aka. An always deadline. Assuming anyone wants to engage in nightly training yadda blah blah until the next day.

"Bloop" The beginning of the next day. Toso would be waiting patiently once more for his group to gather. In his hands held three portraits. Their contents and complexity remaining a mystery until the arrival of his merry band. Yup. Waiting. Ah, Toso really hoped he hadn't been too forceful their last reunion. Curiously he wondered if anyone partook in his extra assignment. It wasn't just a way for him to get the squad closer. It was also to determine if he had amassed enough level of respect that his squad would simply do something they were asked to out of sheer respect and kindness. Hah, bloop, he certainly wondered as he waited, thank goodness he was staring blankly at a tree otherwise he'd have undoubtedly burnt out his retinas staring at the sun.
Ooc: Next Deadline End of Wed 29th. Feel free to use the time between the deadline to train etc. Just arrive here before said deadline heart

Honsho decided fairly quickly on that she was not going to like Miko. It wasn't that the woman was overly rude or even that she was clearly not at all considerate of anything other than herself. It was that she considered herself above them. She didn't listen, didn't seem to care and didn't seem worried about not caring. As for her posited dilemma, it didn't make a damn s**t worth of sense to Honsho. Maybe it was the way Miko talked but nothing she said made any sense. If she had to save someone then she'd save that one person. Then she'd save another. One life doesn't equal another and it never would. Compassion had more to do with the actions one took than the choices one made before hand "We can't save everyone." her voice was icy and there was a hint of hatred in it for Miko. There was an arrogance in Miko that Honsho might be imagining but it made her angry all the same. Whatever Miko might say or think, it wasn't what she was or who she was or even what she was going to be. Honsho was going to be Honsho and she'd do whatever was necessary to keep herself as herself. If that meant letting one person down, then she would do so without regret and live her life without a desire for vengeance. As they came to a stop on the street and Miko spoke to the occupant before they entered, Honsho wondered if Miko had considered anything she'd said before blabbing it out. The rush of furry bodies and the sound of barking that filled the house startled her but she smiled slightly to the dogs and knelt to let them jostle and lick her. She kept her balance, holding onto a large dog that forced his way into her and leaned in to her stomach "You're a good boy." she whispered to him as the other dogs went after Hon, leaving her to rub the big black dogs floppy ears. Standing eventually, she let her fingers find the collar around his neck before she started to look about for a leash, letting the dog drag her a bit "Where are the leashes?" she asked, her tone still politely cold, looking at Miko levelly. Her platinum grey eyes didn't reveal much about her thoughts but she plastered a fake smile on her face when she asked "We can't do our duty as shinobi of the great Kumokgaure without leashes. For the dogs, of course."
