<strong>Yuki</strong><br/><br/>Kotone cleared her throat and dug her toe into the ground. This was quite the awkward situation... She was considered the most unexceptional of their team- Matoko was from an ancient clan of Puppeteers and even if Yuki's heritage was circumspect, his surname alone lent him more gravitas than the simple musician ever received.<br/><br/>Where they had begun to wander, the dead bark became less and less common until they didn't see any traces of the anomaly at all. Kotone seemed to gather up her reserves to keep up with him, perhaps in part inspired by Yuki's indefatiguable stores of energy.<br/><br/><strong>Azuki</strong><br/><br/>"That's what I've been saying!" Haitsuchi enthusiastically replied. He clicked his tongue and shook his head, "My teammates can't wait to hurt somebody."<br/><br/>He shook his head and sighed, following Azuki along to the tea shop... He had quite an appetite, hungrily eying her dango even after he had finished his fried calamari. "That<em>is</em>strange. Aren't they supposed to be long-distance fighters. I've never met a puppeteer before... but I guess I wouldn't feel so bad about beating up a bunch of mannequins, huh?"<br/><br/>He smiled wide, resting his chin on his hand as he looked at Azuki.<br/><br/><strong>Jin-Ryu</strong><br/><br/>Niwa's 'chaperones' loomed over her protectively, judgementally keeping their eyes on Jin-Ryu. "Well, it's pretty unlikely we'd face anyone else from Tanigakure." The young kunoichi said, "You're looking at the entire delegation."<br/><br/>"We're a small village." The female genin accompanying her said, "The Great Five have always treaded over us... you expect us to trust you now?"<br/><br/>Niwa sighed, clearly not buying into the paranoia and xenophobia of her comrades.<br/><br/>"We'd best go." Her male comrade urged, insistantly looking over the petite kunoichi Mibu Niwa. She shrugged, waving goodbye to Jin-Ryu as they left the restaurant.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">Investigate Genin (As the Gather Information skill)<br/>Investigate Kirigakure Exams (As the Research skill)<br/>Make Money (Roll a Profession check, as if you leveled up.
