461 ❀ forward-dated to later tonight

Is it actually possible to have a headache from being too painfully shy? Has anyone heard of that? If not, then I think I have a previously undocumented case.

[a little irritated huff, before she mutters away from the journal]

It's going to take me all day to brush out my hair the way it's supposed to be ... Ugh.

[ooc: Loss over :) If there's anything you wanted me to backtag with her on her loss still please let me know and I'll hit it up ASAP! Tags will be a bit slow until I get home from work later.]

Heh. Sounds like a time saver.

I guess. There are people with natural bloodline abilities and stuff like that that make it easier for them to get promoted quickly anyways.

-- Bloodline abilities?

Yeah, certain families are born with different special abilities. For example, there's a family that all had a special kind of eye that provides a sort of foresight on their opponent. They can sort of predict what the other person would do.

Huh.

What's yours?

My family doesn't have anything like that. We have secret techniques but you have to learn them, you aren't just born with it.

Really?

Do those make it easier for you to get promoted?

[a pause, as she considers]

In some ways, it gives me an advantage over other people, yeah.

Ahh...I think I'm getting it now. [Honestly it's like home but with ninjas. Sure makes more sense than the US system that was explained to him]

What happens to those without bloodlines or secret family techniques?

It depends, I guess! For example, there's a guy I know who can't even use jutsu at all -- he can only fight hand-to-hand. But he's still been promoted to the same rank as me, though he's a little older. It's all about how hard you work, whether you can prove you're able to complete missions successfully without endangering lives, so on and so forth.

But I think people with those skills will get promoted quicker in general. For example, the highest rank below the village leader, the ANBU -- the captain of those forces was only thirteen, when I was a kid, and he had those eyes I mentioned before.

Oh, okay. [that's good to hear but then-]

-- Thirteen? That's way too young for that position!

Yeah, it kinda was. [since, you know, all the shit he had to deal with on top of that ... it's no wonder itachi is probably half psychotic] But it's an extreme example. I was halfway through the ranks at sixteen, and even that's considered impressive.

[nooo kidding man.]

Ohhh, alright.

Hey! So that must mean you're a pretty awesome ninja, huh?

That's what I've been saying ...

Yeah but now I have context for your greatness!

I guess. [LMFAO, well, she won't complain about a compliment, anyways ...] It'd be kind of sad if I wasn't any good, anyways, since my family is important in my village, and my dad's the head of the family ...

[Oh you mean like him- ]

Heh, yeah. You probably got a lot of pressure not to be a disappointment.

[a little laugh] A little. But I like what I do, so it's not a big deal.

Then that's good!

So any chance I get to find out what this secret technique can do or is it secret secret?

[a pause ...]

Well, I guess it's okay. I can talk to people telepathically, basically.

[ ... there's more than just that, but that one she doesn't mind talking about since it could come in handy in battle, etc. the others will be saved for another time ;)]

Whoa.....

[a pause]

What's telepathically?

[LMFAO]

Why would you say whoa if you didn't even know what it is?!

[a little huff]

It means that I can talk to people by sending a message directly into their head, instead of saying anything out loud.

It sounded impressive, darling!

And lo and behold it is! We don't really have anything like that!

[lmao ... a little sigh] It comes in handy when you have to manage a group in a fight, anyways.
