@Kitsune Neglected to respond but yes, there are spots available.

I'm glad to see Aqua has posted. I really don't want to see this RP die so early in the story. I'm hoping to see more posts soon.
All this time only a few people have posted. RP may be dead :/
Okay... Honestly, is this RP dead? Because no one is posting (Bleu aside).
Alright, posted. Hopefully, things will get back on track soon. Several more days before the next dungeon so everyone should prepare.
It was getting late and everyone had to get back to their dorms. Dai was the first to leave but, before he did, he left everyone his cell phone number in case they needed to contact him in the future. Kazuo thanked Dai and told him that he'll see him later before entering Dai's contact information into his own cell phone. It was Saito who was the next to leave and, like Dai, he also gave out his contact information. Kazuo recorded it into his phone. Before either one of them left, Kazuo gave them his number as well. Then Shinku decided to leave but didn't mention her contact information. Kazuo wanted to ask for it directly but couldn't muster the courage to. Before he could make up an excuse to ask for her number, Shinku had left. Kazuo and Gruffydd were left at the table. Kazuo asked for his number and, after getting a response, left for the dorms.

On the way, he passed by Tee-Party but didn't see anyone inside. Curious, he entered the store and walked to the counter. He could hear someone's voice coming from a backroom. The voice was quite cheerful and energetic, talking about poses or something - like for a photo shoot perhaps. Before he could leave, the owner of the store came out from the back room and caught Kazuo's attention with a boisterous hello. Kazuo turned around and said he was just looking to see if his friends were around. "Oh, too bad, I thought you were a custom... Hey, you know you're a pretty handsome guy. You have this look about you that screams 'Victorian period costumes'. You'd make a great model for my catalog."

Kazuo was caught off guard by that and he was too flustered to respond. "I'm Hikari by the way! Introductions aside, I need to get you in one of my new costumes!" Kazuo replied that he doesn't think it's a good idea. Hikari frowned when she heard his response; she seemed disappointed but then quickly perked back up. "Oh come on, please~! It's not like you'll be doing it for free. How does ¥860 a day sound to you? At least let me show you my studio!" Reluctantly, Kazuo was pulled into the backroom. There, he was greeted by a surprising sight: Bride and Ito, dressed up for a photo shoot. Kazuo politely smiled and waved at them. "Oh, so these two are your 'friends'. What a coincidence." Kazuo nodded and walked towards the two of them. He looked at their outfits and, choosing his words carefully, complimented them.

"Oooo~ I'm getting a bunch of ideas already for the next shoot now that I'm working with a trio!" Hikari exclaimed as she panned around the three of them forming her hands into a camera. Kazuo politely responded that he didn't agree to work as a model. "Awww, you can't deny a photographer her vision!" Hikari complained. Sighing, Kazuo said that he would think about it. "Great! That's all I needed to hear! Hm, aww, darn it, it's late already... Looks like we have to wrap things up for the day. Bride, Ito, thank you for a beautiful shoot! I hope you guys come back. I have your pay right here." Hikari hands an envelope to each of them. Kazuo said that he needed to get back to school and said bye to the three of them. Before exiting the backroom, he glanced back one more time at Bride and Ito - they do look quite good in those outfits.
April 12th / Wednesday / Sunny

Before heading out to have breakfast by the cherry blossom trees, Kazuo spent a few minutes casually chatting with Dai since he caught him early in the morning. After which, the daily school routine began. As usual, Kazuo felt quite bored in class. All he could think about as of late is, understandably, his Persona and the other world the group fell into. He also gave some thought to Igor's warning about the upcoming 'calamity'. He needs to prepare for that. After classes were over, Kazuo wandered the school grounds before arriving at the baseball field. It seems they had tryouts today. Kazuo loved baseball as a kid but, by now, he is pretty rusty at it. It could be fun though. Why not? Kazuo walked over to the signup table and filled out the form to join the team. After completing the forms, he spent time talking with the other signups as well as people already on the team. Three hours soon passed by when he decided to join a quick game.

I waiting for GreenGoat, Aqua, and Zen to respond to the thread to see if they're still active before I make a post. Basically, taking a headcount right now.
Arc 1: The White Mask | Chapter 1: A Flame Casts a Shadow



Regaining consciousness, Inotsu Yamanaka opened his eyes only to be greeted by a horrific sight: Fuyuha Village engulfed in flames. Everywhere he looked, all Inotsu could see are collapsed buildings and the corpses of dead shinobi; some of them were his comrades from Konohagakure. He only hopes that the women and children were evacuated successfully. To either side of Inotsu are his ANBU teammates - unconscious but not dead fortunately. On the ground immediately next to him is his ANBU mask which has shattered into numerous pieces. Inotsu tried uttering a few words to his teammates but only managed a light cough. Dried blood caked the area surrounding his mouth. Finally, his teammates gradually regained their consciousness too.

"Ahh... So you've all finally awakened," a deep, distorted voice emanated from above the ANBU operatives. Inotsu looked up to the sky to see a familiar floating figure. Dressed in a hooded black cloak along with a featureless white ANBU mask is the team's target known simply by the epithet: White Mask. The masked man turned to face the wounded ANBU team and stretched his arms out. "Beautiful isn't it? This is my vision... My vision for Konoha."

Inotsu struggled but finally got back up onto his feet using the wall behind him for support. "Y-You... You've killed everyone..." Inotsu uttered.

"Not everyone... Not yet..." White Mask turned around to admire his handiwork: the destroyed Fuyuha Village. "Most of the villagers are safe. Your fellow Leaf shinobi saw to that. Besides, I've no interest in killing them. I did, however, took away their homes - their livelihood," White Mask turned back to the ANBU team once more, "I believe that is a much crueler punishment—" White Mask was interrupted by a kunai flying directly towards him. However, before the kunai even reached him, it circled back around and came flying into Inotsu's right shoulder. Disciplined in resisting pain, Inotsu merely gritted his teeth as a result of the kunai embedding itself in his shoulder.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk... I'm afraid that's wasted effort on your part."

Inotsu's chakra is spent. He can't afford to use any ninjutsu techniques without the guarantee of it hitting its mark. He can't even sustain his telepathic communication with his teammates any longer. It looks like he won't be of much use in this fight. Grabbing hold of the kunai impaled in his shoulder, Inotsu forcibly removed it and tossed it to the ground. Then, using his headband, he fashioned a makeshift tourniquet to stop the bleeding. He turned to his teammates. "Sorry... It seems that I'm a terrible squad leader after all," he said with a weak smile.

Forming a one-handed hand sign, White Mask summoned four Shadow Clones of himself and they descended onto the ground below; each of them are equipped with a kunai. "The life of most ANBU are typically short and fruitless. You live and die for your village and yet your names will be forgotten from the moment you die. To history: it's like you were never born to begin with. Such a meaningless existence. Tell me: was it worth it?" The White Mask's clones approached the group. In their weakened state, it looks like the fate of the ANBU operatives are sealed...

-Six Months Earlier-


Inotsu awakened to a cool breeze and the scent of spring flowers. It seems he had inadvertently fallen asleep in the meadow that he frequently visits near Konohagakure. Under the shade of a great tree, Inotsu slept into the afternoon. Fortunately for him, there were no missions assigned to him today. Getting up onto his feet, Inotsu looked at the trunk of the tree, specifically focusing on a carving of the word "Ino-Shika-Cho". He has fond memories of visiting this place as a child with his Genin teammates and here, on this tree, they carved a reminder of their friendship. Inotsu couldn't help but smile at those memories. Then, he noticed on the ground were a pair of earrings - his own pair given to him by his sensei; they've must've fallen out of his pocket. Picking them up, Inotsu tossed them into the air and caught them as they descended before placing them back in his pocket. It's time to return to Konoha.
Yeah, I've been lurking, checking up on the thread. I was just too busy with college stuff to reply or post.
My apologies everyone, I've been busy all week but have been keeping up with the thread. Anyways, I think we've waited long enough. I'll start the IC today and those who haven't finished their CS's will just have to jump into the IC later. Everyone fine with that?
Sorry guys, I have been keeping up with the OOC but haven't had the chance to actually reply because of my busy week.

I might not be able to roleplay anymore... Father is threatning to disown me, going to attempt suicide. Im sorry everyone...


Dude, your personal life is not my business but I hope you don't actually mean what you said in the bolded part. But, anyways, it's been fun having you in the RP. Good luck.

So I want to know: are you guys still committed to continuing the RP? IC activity has been lackluster as of late and if some of you are too busy to actually post, then it'd be nice to know.
