DAY TWO

[ino]

[Another beautiful day in Konoha!



So you've been here for a day. You've had plenty of time to get into trouble and get to know your way around. How about going on a mission with your team, then? Or maybe that new movie opening up today piques your interest ...]

[ MISSION ASSIGNMENT DESK | VACATION | MOVIE THEATER | SHUSHUYA | YAKINIKU Q

For more information on the village and its locations, check out Narutopedia, or feel free to contact me through PM/IM (terraqueous orb)/Plurk (chomesuke) for any questions! The only NPCs in this post will be Gai and the old lady in the opt-out threads, but feel free to NPC any civilian or ninja townspeople you need to. DAY ONE is still open for backtagging!]

[and Ino will be dragging ohana + gale into Yakiniku tonight! because there is nothing better than having yummy food with your besties. she'll have secured a good table in the corner for them ... the real question is, who made any mission money today to cover the bill?]

[whichwayyoulean]

[If you consider being mauled by a tiny adorable dog a successful mission...yeah no. There's no money here. So a battered and bruised Once-ler will just calmly sit at the table. He stares at it for a moment, before carefully shifting his chair back enough that he can rest his forehead gingerly on the table edge.

It's cool if he just stays here for a while right? You can tell he isn't dead or unconscious, because of the soft groaning coming from him]

[heal_theworld]

[Martel walks up to the table and takes one look at Once-ler before sighing.] ...What happened to you? [Before he even answers, Martel leans over and touches his shoulder, giving him a small healing spell.]

[fanstheflame]

[Gale watches this exchange curiously over his menu, because, well, seriously, What She Said, dude]

[whichwayyoulean]

[The Once-ler cracks open one eye. Oh hey the healing is good. It's good to have magical friends. Or more to the point, magical friends who are actually willing to use their magic]

Well, it turns out my theory that I'd be a pretty terrible ninja is one hundred per cent correct. There was an incident with a dog.

[wilder]

[From across the table]

Was it a big dog?

[not_mafia]

[Hey, guys, hope you don't mind Tsuna trudging over and looking to be in much of the same condition as Once-ler. He'll sit down for a moment, before slowly setting his head on the table.]

Wh..why did it have to be a dog...

[whichwayyoulean]

I told you we should have just gone home and left it. I distinctly remember saying that.

[Then, a pause] It was a vicious dog, okay? It was like...the devil. In dog form.

[heal_theworld]

[Martel sighs and moves over to Tsuna, doing the same thing to heal him.] The more you say that, the more I doubt that it was truly vicious.

[not_mafia]

I... I think anyone would have handled that better than we did.

[Mostly just mumbling to himself out of dismay now, since... that whole incident was terrible and quite frankly he'd feel a whole lot better if they just changed the topic already.]

Thanks, Martel..

[whichwayyoulean]

Can we just agree not to be ninjas until this madness is over? Maybe we can be the team that stays at home and does nothing.

[Then, to Martel]

The. Devil. In. Dog. Form.

[heal_theworld]

And how big, exactly, was this devil in dog form? [She's giving you a Look, Once. SHE KNOWS YOU.]

[not_mafia]

[Before Once has a chance to answer, though, the waiter comes and gives them their drinks. He sets down a sippy cup in front of Tsuna. Tsuna stares at it for a few moments, and it takes him a bit to realize that it's for him.

He suddenly sits straight up.]

Eh?! What the heck, why do I have this?!

[wilder]

[Well....that all depends on what you can define as a "mission" in regards to methods of getting money. ]

[Right now he's poking at the meat and eying the charcoal]

So...explain to me again why we're paying extra for something I could do outside with a campfire?

[ino]

[she gives zelos a Look]

First of all, there are actual chefs that prepare the meat, so we don't have to.

[wilder]

Uh huh. Anything else?

[ino]

... They have drinks?

[wilder]

[....]

[He's rich and even he don't get this, but oh well he'll just go with it]

Alright, what would you recommend?

[ino]

To drink, or to eat?

[wilder]

Drink of course, my darling.

[ino]

People usually drink saké here, and it's meant to go with the taste of the food. But they probably have beer and liquor, too.

[wilder]

[What an impersonal answer...]

...You've never drank here, have you?

[ino]

[she shrugs]

The last time I was here, I was sixteen.

[wilder]

[a sigh] Right. I'll never get used to that.

[he'll raise a hand to a passing waiter and ask for a sake]

[ino]

[and she'll be ordering a sampler platter of meat! that way people can decide what they like, wooo]
