Nor do I but they have good salad dressings. Like soy/miso/ginger or...some hybrid.

That sounds good to me. I should refresh the Chunin Exam and stuff. >_< Urgh it's been so long but it's good that we have a plan. Should I introduce it at the end of my post? Or skip to the next day and mention it? I assume the stuff between now and the mission would just be them practicing, not too much notable dialogue?

I'm still trying to find the right dressing for salad, I'm so picky. >__< I wish I knew what those sushi places use.

The mission itself...a rouge ninja would be fun, though we could allude to things they may be doing. Maybe they're attacking farmers outside the village or are kidnapping folks? There should be some threat there I think. We'd deal with tracking him, as well as fighting him. Or we could deal with any stragglers still supporting Orochimaru in the outskirts of Konoha. Or maybe there's someone missing like a child in the woods?

Dropped roleplay. If someone misuses a word, I sharpen my knives hahaha! *serious*

Digital or Real?

Aw thanks! Now we can look forward to diving into the online part as well~

Eating healthy can be hard but rewarding. *noms on doritos* >___>

KakaSaku can go alone or with Gai and Lee (I think Ino and Sakura are more friends than rivals atm but maybe when Sakura has more jutsu, they can spar for real again). I just figure with another pair, there wouldn't be as much dead space or anything. I think with KakaSaku, it could be low key but with the others, we would need a reason for them to tag along. We could always have KakaSaku go out alone on the mission and maybe run into Gai and Lee n the way back who are also doing a mission?

And yep, good job haha. I hate being disappointed, I already was once today.

I dunno, is that likely? ^^;

GoT is pretty complex, I'm amazed people who just read the books keep up. The visualization is really helpful for me.

They're a good OTP from a super good show. I need mah season two already. >___<

Ha, boost some booze for Tsunade? We could do a mission with Gai and Lee maybe? Something simple enough to allow the younger folks tag along? I assume by now, Lee is just done recovering but still needing to get back into the swing of things. If the mission is simple, it would give them time to perhaps spar while traveling, while also doing the whole set up camp, make food etc? Or it could be an urgent mission but say...Ranked C-B? If most nin are busy, the four wouldn't be a bad choice.

Also kudos for using 'ninja' for plural, so many people tack on "s" for Japanese words when really plural and singular aren't distinctive. It annoys me to no end.

Digital or Real?

Thanks. *blushes*

I'll format it better in the IC but I wanted to finally get my thoughts down. Again, if you wanna change anything let me know. ^^

Oh dear...guess you can come help us finish moving out of boxes then!

I can't imagine how you keep up with GoT then, that's so much worse.

Tv show man, I had two possible ones crumble. So sad. Matt and Karen ftw. >___<

I still think Sakura making her own jutsu, will have to wait until further down the line. I meant more along the lines of any possible mission or next goal for training as she's got a good handle one the big one. Or if we wanted one of those slice-of-life situations we talked about earlier like a birthday or BBQ or some kind of gathering. I'm just thinking, we may need to skip since we haven't gotten too much back and forth between them yet, save for the lunch at Ichiraku.

My gloves don't leave a smell. But hey, don't put up with a bad job, if you're still at it in a few weeks, I'm gonna be pouty.

There's the science one, the religious one and then Leda and Castor. Supposedly more but we dunno yet.

Someday...damn my and my novice experience! I'm still craving a Daredevil RP like nobody's business. >__> Only a few cravings, is better than a lot or some mega ultra one.

You may need to watch a ton of porn for ref. It's a sacrifice I know...

Aw fine. Btw, should I take us somewhere in my post? Like to the following day? What were we planning once she mastered the jutsu?

Cherry Blossoms Under the Silver Sky

I'd be happy to wash tables and sweep. Too bad you need a degree for that these days...And hey, wear rubber gloves. I do whenever I have to do dishes, hands are safe and clean!

I wished the pencil hadn't gone so far deep, seeing Rachel struggle was kind of sad for me. I was hoping to see Helena give Mrs. S more of a beatdown but Helena does love Kira too...even so, it was a pretty shady thing to do to someone, when you have no idea where they're going. Helena was a big tool for Leda's investigation IMO.

I don't mind the combat system. Though the healing system is really annoying when you do need to use poultices on multiple party members. I keep it on Casual mode, I'm in it for the characters. Mmm, sassy Alistair is niiice. Plus the lore and plot were really cool to me. I've been craving a good fantasy (RP/RPG) for ages and this scratched that itch. I will say I'm not sure about DA2 and DAI since I've heard iffy things...but DAO is good enough for now, not to mention I only paid 15 bucks for the Ultimate Edition for PC. I'm so late to the party, everyone who RPs it, is looking for DAI I believe. >___< Someday I'll find my DAO RP...like I did my ST TNG one~

Boobs aren't easy to draw. I have em, I should know haha. Good luck though! Maybe I'll send you a care pack of art shit and food one of these days...

And yep, getting started now...but all this talk of DAO makes me want to play it too...and I would hate to keep switching between that and this. #firstworldproblems

Beyond a Fire's Embers

Her question was bound to be rebutted with agitation but Katniss didn't care. She was going to ask it, regardless of it being pointless. She wanted to know how he felt, even if that meant him firing some nasty words her way. If it helped with the pain, she didn't really care how he replied to her inquiry. And his reply was silent and she was a little thankful for that. When she attempted with a new route, he finally complied which made her happy. It was a small dose of happiness, yes, but it was tiny moments of reliance and hope that would keep pushing them through the blood and broken bodies. And in their case, manufactured mist.

Haymitch settled down and first mentioned that he didn't know what it was. Katniss didn't really care about dwelling on it. Sure, they may surely see it again soon but she didn't care. What it was didn't matter. It was dangerous and could move on its own. The only thing she needed to know was to keep out of its reach, unlike Haymitch. He inspected his own injury first while she pulled the blue tarp out of the bag. As much as she wanted to openly bark at Peeta to give them a gift, something to help with the pain or blisters, she knew that was bad form. No sponsor would give them anything if they flat out asked for it.

So for now, they had to hold on until Peeta got them something useful. "Don't touch it." She told him as he prodded the bump. Prim was the healer in their family but Katniss had picked up some useful tips from her younger sister. Katniss knew they should leave it alone and just bandage it as is. If they touched the injury, it would only get agitated and have a higher chance of becoming infected. When he finally let her check it out, she leaned down to get a better look. It didn't smell rotting, which was a good thing. "Yeah I know but right now, this is priority." She told him. There was no sense is moving forward if an injury could just slow them down.

In her mind, they needed to treat it now, rather than leave it unattended. She swallowed down the urge to mention Peeta, as she was sure he was already working sponsors for a gift. "I'll just bandage it up and we can get moving again." Katniss told him as she used the sharp end of her arrow to cut a small bit of the tarp. She then reached down and tore off part of her pants and put that under the scrap of tarp which would repel water and add as another layer of protection. She then used the bit of rope to tie the makeshift bandage in place. "It's not great work but it'll protect it from bugs, blood...you know." Katniss then shoved it all back in the pack and got up. "This setting feels a lot better to me." She said, eyeing the dry thin forest as it kept getting more green and wild down the way.

"If we're lucky, we'll find food." She felt exposed but ready to get moving again. And as much as Katniss wanted to ask Haymitch again if he was okay, she didn't and just headed into the woods, listening for anyone or anything nearby, hoping they hadn't fallen into another trap.

The pain had been so sharp, he almost fell to his knees. The last thing his body felt like doing, was running. It felt like hot knives were cutting through his skin, slowly.

He could feel Prim pulling him along as he gritted his teeth and tried not to moan too much. His steps were uneven and hard. His mind kept telling him to move, to just keep moving but his body wanted to shut down and give in. The two of them kept trying to evade the mist's reach by retreating to back where they had started. As the area began to melt back into the city, the gravel under his feet crunched and slide as he struggled to keep his legs in motion. He tried to look over his shoulder but couldn't. Gale and Prim didn't stop until they hurried into an abandoned building which had lost a door, as well as the glass on its windows. The building was just a cold shell but it was better than dying out in the wild.

Gale tugged his hand out of Prim's hand and finally fell to his knees. The pain was still there but it had diminished slightly. Though it still hurt enough to make him vomit. He couldn't see how bad the injury had been but he could feel it, and it was bad. Gale tried to catch his breath as he propped his back against the wall facing the door. He didn't want anyone to surprise them with an ambush. There was a thick concrete staircase on the other side of the room but he didn't think they needed to check it out yet. If someone was up there, they'd show themselves. And if it was empty, it may provide the duo with a way to look out.

Sure, it wasn't the height of the tree, but it would so. Gale turned his head to look at Prim, hoping that she was okay in their quick retreat. Normally a sprint like that wouldn't do much harm but with the pain his body felt, he didn't see himself moving for at least ten minutes. Another worry was if the mist had gotten deeper, had somehow been able to get into his skull or brain. It was hard to imagine but for him, it had to be considered. Thankfully, he had Prim by his side, someone who could make sure the mist didn't bring him down somehow. "How bad is it?" He asked her.

So far, the man had been toying with touching it or not. It was a big temptation. He wiped his hand on his pants and lifted it to his forehead. He touched the side and slowly made his way to the middle, wincing. It felt bad but it didn't feel deep or bloody. That had to be a good sign right? Gale let out a long sigh. "This is one of the times, I'm glad to be taller than you." Gale didn't want Prim feeling this way. Eventually, his legs stopped shaking and Gale flexed his arms and legs, trying to adjust to the pain, as opposed to resisting it. Outside the door, he heard nothing. No more screaming or running. "I think we may want to stay here until tomorrow." It wasn't ideal but he didn't want to risk too much on the first day. "At least here, we have shelter."
