Temple in Ruin(Mission)[Wind, Egor and Lark Kazura]

Occ - Post order is as follows, Jeff-Wind-Egor-Lark Kazura

Ic - Kuro hadn't been smiling. Although he'd been walking through a very misty forest, his long hair was soaked, giving him the apperance of a girl. He didnt' like this at all, but what could he do right now. However depressing it seemed though, he was still smiling. He had high expectations about this day, his first mission. Although it wasn't with a team, but with those who could be on his team. So it was a good thing he had asked them to do this.

Even though moving some burnt trees away from an old temple didn't seem that hard, he would be sure to watch out for anything mysterious, since fires don't normally pop up in a damp forest. His hair hung over his face, as he arrived at his destination. He had anticipation and other mixed feelings, many of whch buzzed around him. He looked around, noticing 3 monks studying the trees.

With little stealth the Ashigaru girl approaches the ruined temple, fully equipped for battle. The soft jingling of her plate covered cloak would announce her well before she'd be seen through the mists. The damp forest was certainly no place for a random fire, so Saya was on her guard. Behind the steel mask protecting her face, and her identity, her eyes sweep over the forest around her.

Spying Kuro on the path ahead of her, and the monks beyond him, she slows her pace. She looks for any others who'd have arrived before her, but doesn't see any straight off. She approaches Kuro quietly, most of her weapons covered. With her long spear having been left at home, her protective cloak manages to cover almost every inch of her. Only her ankles and booted feet protrude from beneath.

"Hello." She says plainly, her voice slightly muffled behind her mask. She bows.. maybe, the gesture was certainly strange in her cloak. She continues on, getting straight to the point. Small talk is not her forte'. "Others are coming, you said? I would like to get to work soon. This debris needs to be cleaned up."

Sho Meikiri's dialogue

"Da hell is this?"

An hour after, of spending his time at the local tavern in the village's Misty Market, Sho traveled back his housing apartment. There, at the outside doorstep of the housing facilitates, laid a white piece of paper.

Quote :: Dear Sho Meikiri,

Hello my name is Kuro Koori, and I've sent you a message of assistance. This letter, deals with a secretive mission about a highly noble temple. The Shiyounin temple, to be frank was horribly annihilated by a nearby wild fire. The reason I called upon you, was to get your aid and help to volunteer to by cleaning the scraps and rubble left behind from the terrible tragedy. It'll be gratefully kind of you, come and assistance in this mission and help the village grow and parish. You'll be generously awarded for your good deeds.

Sincerely,
Your fellow shinboi Kuro Koori

A brief moment passed, once Sho completed reading the strange letter at his doorstep. He shrugged with a usually careless demeanor. "Well this person did say, I'd sorta get paid for it. I guess I'll tag along. Just for the extra currency." Sho said with a smugness smirk across his pale colored face. With that saying, Sho went up into his apartment room, getting himself completely ready for this little task. The young genin ran out the facility; heading towards the temple.

Minutes later, Sho found himself looking upon a eerie lookin' forest. There stood two Kiri shinobis, one male and the other one was a female. They were supposedly, chatting among each other. Being the little bastard he was, Sho walked up to the little group and intervened between the two genins conversation. "So which one of you chumps, is Kuro Koori hm?" Sho stood there, a few inches away from the two genins with his hands over the back of his head.

It was a misty day and lark was at home sleeping, this day was like anyother day but he had a mission today and if he completed it he would get payed for his work, to lark that sounded like a good deal. So lark got ready and started out the door to the area that was sent to him but a ninja called Kuro Koori.

When lark got there 3 other ninja were waiting for him, seeing as it did not take long for him to get there as he could fly made it alot easy to find the area. When lark landed down on the ground he went to meet the others all he did was nod when they turned to look to see who it was as his wings had already folded.

OOC: sorry for short post had stuff to do.

Turning around, he greeted her with a smile. "Thank you for coming to help.", he said softly. But before he could reply anymore, it seemed more help had arrived. Turning to face him, Kuro smiled, "Why yes, I am, I'm glad you came out here to help.", he said before hearing yet another strange noise. Maybe I'm just imagining things, he thought. Turning around though, he noticed the third invited genin. "Okay, since we're all here, I'll go over what the mission was." "We were to remove trees that were supposedly burnt in a forest fire." "But since this place is damp" He paused, stopping to remove his wet hair from his eyes, "There's no way I'm believing that it was a normal fire."

Turning towards the debris, his hair swung, sending water off it as he begin to finish. "I ask that you all keep an eye out for anyone or anything suspicious.", he said, before leading them towards the debris of burnt trees. Kuro had a small smile of confidence, and had noticed the monks had looked over.

Saya remains quiet as ever, keeping her own words and thoughts hidden behind the mask she's wearing. She follows her way over to the monks with Kuro but moves past him, and them, and begins inspecting the burnt trees. Odd that fire would spread indeed, but some natural sources burnt easily enough when with water.

She sniffs the air light and rolls one of the logs over carefully with a foot. She's cautious, of course, one never knows who set traps on these fallen trees. Getting normal flames started in this forest would be hard, so Saya's money was riding on a chemical based burning. "Perhaps they used potassium of another volatile chemical. I understand it burns readily when exposed to moisture." she muses quietly to herself, though others could hear her too.

She continues to examine the trees, wondering which of the genin would be first to bark orders at the others. If it was her, that'd be fine, but Saya was always open for other people's plans as well. She was beginning to formulate one on her own already, and she looked back to the monks for a moment while in thought.

Sho Meikiri's dialogue
Kuro Koori's dialogue

Causally standing apart from the two other genins, Sho listened as there was a faint noise coming from behind the crew, in the far distance. Surprisingly, it was yet again other genin and supposedly he had came to aid for the mission aswell. Sho glanced over his shoulders, cautiously watching as the boy with the wings on his back, joined the little crowd of genins. Astonished. Sho's eyes slowly begin to lit up. He was surprised from the abnormal features about the young male's body.

This dude, had real fucking wings on his back. "Alrighty then...." Sho said with a soft, but dumbfounded tone. "So we got angles from above helping us on this mission too, huh?" This was just Sho's general personality; saying impolite things among strangers and getting the thoughts off his young, unwise mind. Then breaking Sho's thought of concentration for another childish joke, was a voice. It was Kuro, the so called leader of this mission. "Okay, since we're all here, I'll go over what the mission was." "We were to remove trees that were supposedly burnt in a forest fire." "But since this place is damp." "There's no way I'm believing that it was a normal fire." Then he paused for a brief moment and continued to deliver his speech to the gang. "I ask that you all keep an eye out for anyone or anything suspicious."

Not saying a word, Sho watched and followed behind Kuro. He signaled the group to pursue with him over to the area of the burnt trees. Then a moment later, everyone went to go do their own things, by helping to inspect the debris of the mysterious burnt forest. Sho watched the only female shinobi of the group, was the first to begin examining the horrible crime scene. Persistent one, you may say. "How come she has a mask over her face? Is she that hideous, to show her face to the world?" Once again, another rude, blunt joke made by Sho. But, this time he preferred to keep between himself.

Seeing as it was a drag to help find clues about the unknown fire, Sho had other plans in mind. "Yeah....I'll let you guys look for whatever the hell we need to find about this fire mystery. While you three go lookin' for clues, meanwhile I'll check the forest boundaries for anything suspicious. The name's Sho Meikiri. Call..if you need to." Hands inside his own pockets, Sho begin to make he way over to the far region of the forest. About, 2 minutes away from the group, Sho closely begin to look over the trees. Only, hopefully to find something suspicious or out of it's place among the forest. "Now if I were a criminal, where would I hide an explosion at hmm..? Sho pondered to himself, becoming more cautious about his surrounding.

Once lark got there Kuro started talking about the mission and what he thought about it. He also heard one of the genin say something that sounded like "we got angels helping us huh". that did not bother lark as he was used to it. When the female genin started to say something about that it could have been a Chemimical fire, lark started to look around. While he looked around he put his Trench coat on with all his gear straped inside, once he had it on he started to move foward to see the damage to the trees and also kept and eye out to see where the people who did it went to.

"hm wannabe criminals" he said to himself as he started to look around to see if there were any tracks for him to follow or not. once he did that he sat down and closed his eyes picturing the area and the surrounding so he could get a better idea of how it would look before it was burnt.

Kuro sighed. He watched as everyone went off to try and find out if it was caused by another being. Turning towards the mess of burnt trees setting themselves on a part of the Temple, he grinned. He wanted to use jutsu to move the trees, but he didn't. Instead, he looked at Saya. "Hey, do you have anything we can use to cut these trees?", he asked. The monks had begun to walk away, letting the 4 genin get to work.

Occ - Sorry it's short, my eye is flipping out.

"You there! Priests." She says a little loudly as she spies the monks on the retreat. They won't be getting off that easy. She looks over towards Kuro for a moment then walks past him over to the monks. She stops infront of them and addresses them directly. "We require carts, and an axe. We will be transporting these logs away from the path and finding a better spot for them. Bring work gloves when you return.." She says, then turns away from them. She wanders back towards Kuro, assuming the monks will do as told.

"None of my weapons are made for chopping wood, however we can get started none the less. First we should separate into two smaller teams. I have no talent for tracking, so I will simply keep watch over this area. Whoever is best at tracking, should go find the one who foolishly ran off alone. The other, of you two, should remain here with me. If we find anything, just report the incident. We don't need to be fighting inside of Kiri's borders." Saya takes a short breath, her voice rather confident in bossing people around.

She rolls one of the fallen logs over with a foot, the charred and carbonized logs lighter than a tree would have been. "If we can not find anything in the immediate area, lets just gather up these logs and dispose of them. With a couple carts we might be finished in a few hours." By the time Saya is done barking orders, the monks are likely hurrying home.

Sho Meikiri's dialogue

The sky was gray and gloomy. Typical weather you'll find around here, in the Kirigakure no Sato. Sounds of wind, begin to whistle in the area among the lonesome genin. Crusty, brown and old lookin' leaves from the ground, begin to sway back n' forward. They gently floated off and dirt surface and back down, to their recent spots. Sho couldn't put his finger on it, but there was a weird and eerie sensation going around the damped area.

Gradually becoming more alert, he slowly reached towards his weapon pouch. His right hand cautiously placed over his side pouch, Sho took the moment time to scout his nearby surroundings. "Whatever it is, it better come out already. I hate surprises. Dammit!" Sho looked over to the far and dark part of the forest in front of him. He then sighed, sorta thinking he was just hallucinating. "This is getting lame and boring. Ain't nothing out here. I guess I'll look one more time around, and just wait till one of those pricks come looking for me." With that saying, Sho kicked a modest amount of rocks and logs around.

In the back of his mind, he was hoping he could a find at least one damn clue or something suspicious.

With lark geting a better idea on the area his other genin where doing the same but in differant ways. so then all of a sudden lark Shot up from the ground with his trench coat in his hand as he flew up above the trees to see if he could see anything. have a Kilometer away there was more Burnt trees and what looked like a small camp area as that is all Lark could see so he flew down and desided to tell the others about the area. "half a kilometer north there are more burnt trees and what looked like to me as a small camping area.... shall we take a look or what?" said lark not really caring as he could easly just fly over and attack them but, as the mission stated dont fight if you dont have to. So with that lark desided to sit back down and put his Coat on and wait for the others to come up with a plan on how they are going to get things done.

OOC: really really really sorry i just got back from a 3 hour train ride dont kill me D:

Sighing, Kuro felt like this was going no where fast. "Lokk, we aren't supposed to engage any criminals or rogue ninja.", he said. He become very upset at the fact this mission was already becoming a challenging one. "Can we please concentraite on what we're really supposed to do?", he asked, walking towards the mess of burnt trees.

If they want to run after the criminals, let them run after them, he thought. He began trying to push the large trees away from the temple, but to no avail. He sighed, and continued trying to move the trees.

(OOC: The Genin minimum word count is 150 words, posts should be made at or above this mark. Further instances of below minimum posting will result in the topic being locked and the mission cancelled. If you can't post higher than that, despite the circumstances, then wait until you can or figure out how you intend to raise your post count to an adequate level.

Jeff: Your posts are totaled at 500 words, which means, since you have four posts, your average is not above the 150 mark, correct this. We discussed this in the chatbox, if you aren't fit to post, don't post if you can't hit the minimum or higher. Also, do NOT use numbers in place of words or anything else like that, there are also numerous typos, which is why the site recommends using Google Chrome or Firefox with built in spell-check.

Lark: Same deal with the average posting, and watch for proper nouns, names, especially your own, should be capitalized. I would suggest proof-reading your posts before sending them onto the forum.

Wind, your fine, Egor, try to pick it up a little or you'll run into low posting.)

"Yes. I am keeping watch now to ensure our hands are not all full if an opponent does indeed show itself. I would advise waiting for those monks to get back before breaking yourself on trees. An axe and some extra hands will make the job much easier. As we are the only two here, I suggest we await the return of the monks, then get this mess cleaned up. Judging from the area, we might no run into any opposition. A lucky break for the one who ran off alone." Saya says with a slow and calm voice, no hint of emotion bleeding into her tone. She leans just slightly against her Yari as she speaks, her eyes sweeping around the forest surrounding them.

She'd keep an eye out for enemies, as being caught off guard was simply not a good idea. She casts her eyes down the path as she waits, finally spying the monks on their return trip with a large handcart with a few tools in it. This mission was going to be over soon, if Saya has her way. She grins a little, muttering somewhat quieter. "I also advise we allow these monks do most of the work. Physical labor is good for the soul, so I am sure they will appriciate it. It will help them on their path to enlightenment, while we warriors will keep watch. After all, protecting the innocent citizens and clergy of Kiri is a priority for us, over keeping its streets clean."

Sho Meikiri's dialogue

Glancing over his left shoulder, Sho stared into the far distance of the misty, murky forest. He was impatiently waiting for one of his Kiri shinobi colleagues. You'd have thought if you were unaided in a creepy, dangerous forest, just maybe someone would come looking for you. Not the case for Sho Meikiri. Leisurely hanging around the borders of the 'Misty Forest', Sho was gradually becoming irritated with the laziness of this teammates. "For Christ sakes! What's taking them so damn long...?" He mumbled underneath his breath, at the same time kicking the side of a nearby tree truck in frustration.

Sho has been in this dump for about twenty minutes, and still no saviors for poor little ole' Sho Meikiri. Releasing a sigh of infuriation from his spacious lips, Sho simultaneously shook his head in worthlessness of his so called comrades. "How'd that saying go again?" Sho asked himself in a rhetorical fashion. "Nothing splendid has ever been achieved by others, except by your own self." He said with a gruesome smirk, compressed to the far corner of his pale colored face. After injecting himself with a douse of encouragement and confidence, Sho came up with the conclusion to retrace his tracks and travel back to the meeting grounds which contained the group of genins.

In no time at all, the young irrational genin, Sho journeyed his way back among with the group of genins. Not so pleasant to see his counter partners once again, but Sho would had to gradually accept their presences, even if it annoyed him to the fullest. Slowly coming closer and closers towards the gang of hood-rats, Sho could still see the wreckage of burned tree wood scattered along the damp, and soggy grounds. “I’ve been away this long, and this is all you three have to show for…?” He said with a small pinch of disappointment and frustration in the tone of his voice. With that saying, inches away from the little pack, Sho relaxed his body against a nearby tree. He slowy felt this mission becoming a bothersome.

“Does anyone even have a plan to tackle this mission. To be frank, the more time I stay here, I slowly have a remorse about this assignment.” Sho said, with his arms folded; laying along the tree’s large truck and briefly glanced in the direction of Mr.Kuro. “And this boy was suppose to be leading this team. What a great trooper he turned out to be….” A thought of disapproval ran through the mind of Sho Meikiri, having a little regrets about this mission in a whole. Hopefully, someone would shut up and step up, and take some charge and authority before shit got ugly around here.

Occ - Due to the fact lark hasn't posted, and the time limit has ran out, this mission has ended, and we failed _-_

Age : 30 Posts : 42

( OOC: Well this is pretty retarded. Four genins failing a 'C rank' mission. This won't look good on our résumé, for sure. Also Jeff, I hope you knew we could have skipped Lark's turn in order for us to keep the mission going. I'm sure it's a rule for someone to skip a roleplayer's post in their designated topic, if they don't post for about a week. What can I say? Shit happens. )
