Welcome to Gaia! ::

(That is fine Aria, I'll tone down a bit on it, seems i got a handful of complaints and a boot in the a** for that one action as well sooo for everybody's sake yeah...

Also, I'm fine with the Akatsuki thing if either of you want to partner of with Hyakka.)

Mana rubbed the back of her head with her left hand while wearing a nervious smile on her face. She waved her hand lightly and said, "Nono...It's ...ok... Though a little... odd."


~30 minutes later~
Mana leaned against the north-facing railing as the team was gathered on top of one of the numerous buildings near the HoKage monument. She had her hands in her pockets as she looked over the trio.

"Well I know you guys have probally been over this recently as the team was just assembled but I guess re-re-introductions are in order. I read over each of your shinobi files so I know that:

You're Tyson Inzuka, age 18, with a preference to short-range Taijutsu and Ninjutsu Techniques and a dog named Acamadra.

You're Zanzu Umichi, age 15 and a Jinchuuriki, the Biju inside of you is the 1-tailed Crow and that you've had a preference for mid-range Ninjutsu and a habit of releasing your Biju's seal."

She finishes reading that then lets out a sigh, "Hitori...I swear you can such a bad influence... She's never bothered telling you about why's that's so dangerous has she?"

Before you can answer she realizes she's getting ahead of herself and says to wait until she is done.

"And finally you are Akira Hamono, age 15 and...." Her eyes grow wide for a moment, reading over his notes again, before she quickly composes herself, "Has a habit of womanizing....and specializes in Gōken-type Techniques..." She looks him over and comments, "You dont wear a tight green jumpsuit do you?"

Quickly folding up the paper she says, "I'm Mana Natsumi, age 17 and I specialize in archery and Ryuu-me Techniques."

She thinks for a moment, "Ok in no particular order you can correct me on any information that has been presented or add anything else that you think is relevant. And as our first team-building exercise each of you must come up with one sincere question for each of your teammates and myself. When I say 'sincere' I mean something you'd be interested in learning and not something trivial like the size of their shoes." She laughs a little then adds, "But I'm going to warn you: if I get any improper questions directed towards me, you'll be hanging by your underwear from the monument."



Objective: The Re-Re-introductions
Mana wants you to correct or add any relevant information about yourself to her overviews of your character.
In addition you must come up with at least one question for every member of the team to answer. Order of how it is asked/answered doesn't matter.

((Matters not to me, up to them i suppose, 2's or 3's are both fine with me as well as who i'm partnered with.))

Zanzu shrugged a little, "Yeah, I used to have a hell of a habit of releasing my seal, I've grown to rely on it a little less but i still let myself get the better of me from time to time, Also as far as the mid ranged jutsu goes...Yes I used to be primarily a mid ranged fighter though after becoming a chuunin I became primarily close range with a bit of mid ranged support. Of course I'm no longer a chuunin because apparently having an attitude problem has suddenly become a fairly large issue in Konoha even though there are dozens of chuunin and jounin ranked ninjas who have always and always will have such problems." He laughed a bit even though he was being completely serious, He couldn't come up with a single reason as to why his attitude would be such a problem except for the fact that it made him more likely to get captured by the Akatsuki. He knew that would be problems for the village but he had the distinct feeling that if he didn't have the damned crow inside of him he wouldn't have ever been demoted.

He then sighed softly and continued speaking, "Aside from that shes tried to tell me something about that not being the true power of the Biju but seemingly expected me to learn entirely on my own, I did however learn to not rely on the seal so much...I've learned that the demon is not a reliable source of power and can cause my allies to suffer." He paused for another moment before a large grin curled across his lips, "Oh and i noticed a bit of a discrepancy in Akira's, yeah thats not a habit of his...He's practically made a profession out of it! speaking of which, my question for Akira is why do you devote yourself so much to those women." He then paused again wondering if risking being hung by his underwear was truly worth it then smirked a bit as he decided it was, "I mean really, is it honestly as wonderful as you claim it to be, if so why don't you take me to one of those places you manage to find them at some time or give me a few tips?"

"Ahh...Well, back in the village hidden in the shadows we were like...cleaning up on the beach and i got attacked by a crab hiding under a piece of trash. Like...not even that much later there was a 5 'tailed' crab biju that came out of the ocean and attacked and akatsuki were everywhere and there was giant waves of foam and crab stabbing action with big explosions and digging for treasure. Ahhh what a wonderful time it was, truly wonderful times" He got a huge smile as he had his reminiscence about the past mission.

"Also, Tyson I'm slightly curious...you were curious about my 'obsession' with crabs, Might i ask how deep the rumors run in the village? I don't really pay attention to them personally but you seemed to know about it with at least a small bit of knowledge so I figured their might be a small bit of talk about it."

((mmmm, I'm gonna say that you're gonna have to ask Mana a different non-blowing-the-4th-wall question Zanzu. The only "real" reason she was Henge'd was because you/Tyson had already posted that you were back to the gate and waiting for his response. And thanks to 133ty cutting out in the middle of the mission I kinda had to step in and take up the story from there, ergo her being Henge'd.

So yeah, not even going to attempt to try to come up with some reason of WHY it happened that way cause it was mostly OOC to transition.))

Akira yawned softly at the prospect of reintroductions. Geez, Zanzu doesn't seem like he's changed at all. And the other two won't give me a good enough read in a single question for this social hour oh well. "Heh, well Zanz you know that my mother died a ways back right? Well see she would have preferred I settle down and just had a nice family maybe open up a restaurant or anything not in the family craft end our clan's ninja line right there and then. But...I have my own wishes and dreams now the love of a good woman is a high priority, but I don't know I guess I'm just following nature. Kill, love, sleep eat the basic neccessities of man I suppose." Akira chuckled softly to himself as he turned his attention to Tyson now, "I was on a mission. Kinda related to my answer for Zanzu you see I was trying to kill a dead man. But, I wasn't going to chase after him while my team had an injury so...failure."

Akira tilted his head as he thought of his questions. "Zanzu...how'd you feel after you found out about your little friend" Akira asked referring to the crow obviously. "Oh and Tyson tell me are you afraid to die?" He smiled as he tried to gauge his comrades personalities with what he deemed personal questions

"I'd never consider life and death to be one and the same. It's the point you strive for while avoiding completely." Akira commented in response.

He spun on his heel so that he was completely facing Mana and pointed at her, "what exactly are the Ryuu-me techniques that you said you specialized in ?"
