The darkness....lightens... the unconsciousness lifts from your mind, and light obscurs your vision as you open your eyes. Puzzled for a moment by where you are or what has happened to you, it takes you only a moment to remember the events of the previous night, and the terrible storm. You recall vaguely being washed overboard with the others, and immediately begin looking around frantically to take account of them... Thankfully, it seems that most of your friends that were washed overboard along with you are here, Urza, Miyako, Toshi, and Tsuni, the names of those that are only just now emerging from the shadow of unconsciousness. You find yourselves on a beach, of all places, and are a bit surprised to admit that it is indeed very beautiful... but as you look further inland your are greeted only a VAST jungle, it's tree's and canopies obscuring your view save for what sparsely resembles an old trail. Looking out to Sea there nothing but endless crystal blue waves slowly coming into the shore. There is no sign of the ship, there is not sign of Mikito, and there is not sign of Kina... And to top it all off...you have absolutely no idea where you could be... Having been in the middle of the ocean when you were washed overboard, it's an impossibility that you drifted to either of the continents on either side... where, in all the world...have you found yourselves....? As it stand there appear's be a choice a heading further along the shoreline to the south, which doesn't appear like it would a fruitful effort, or heading further inland, down the old trail...

 Urza lifted her head. Sand and wet hair clinging to her face. The surf nipped at the girls legs as she slowly pulled herself to her feet looking around. It was clear she had been swept off the boat. But if that was so where was she now? Urza looked out across the ocean, no sign of the ship in sight. She was surprised that she hadn't sunk to the bottom of the sea with all of the weight she was carrying. It must have been one hell of a tide that brought her in... Urza turned around looking inland. Nothing but think forest and dense canopy. Along the beach were a few of her fellow students. they must have been washed away in the same storm... Urza wadded into the water washing off the sand. following her own bath she looked at the rest of her fellow students. Hopefully they were the only ones taken by the storm, at least than at least they were all alive. And judging by the greens on the island, at least there was something to eat.

 Tsuniyoshi Mazakou Human Form LV. 5 Hp: 55 Cp: 65 MHp: 45 Dodge Bonus: 4 Tsuni coughed up water as she weakly picked herself up from the sand, looking around blearily for sign of just what in the world had happened... she'd...been on the boat, protecting her big bro's and sis's when... Her eyes widened in horror. No, she couldn't have failed again! She looked towards them all frantically, her heart and expression calming to see that they all seemed to be alive and breathing... she took a few deep breathes to calm her previous fears, sinking back to her knee's briefly with a look of slowly abating anxiety. Sure that her big bro's and sis's were alright, the mazakou picked herself up, looking up and down the shore. It was...pretty here. She'd never seen anywhere like it... the tree's looked so different and the the soft sand underneath her was almost like a warm pillow...still, she slowly picked herself up, her form soaked and likewise covered in slick sand as a result. Just great...how was she supposed to get this off? It was going be very uncomfortable to... but Tsuni's eyes fell on her her Big Sis in the armor, Urza, who seemed to have already gotten up herself, as was washing the sand off in the water... Tsuni tilted her head slightly as she watched this, and then, like a child copying it's parent, she mimicked the motion, occasionally watched Urza to make sure she was doing it right, before going back ashore as well. "Big Sis..." Tsuni seemed a little....confused. "Tsuni isn't sure what happened...she is sure that this wasn't supposed to be how one travels on a boat...right?" the seemingly older, yet far younger, creature in human form seemed uncertain. "So...what should Tsuni do...? Her orders were to protect you while we were on the ship...but we're not ON the ship anymore..." she looked to each of the others. "Um...what are Tsuni's new Orders, Big Sis?" she looked expectantly at Urza, as though adhering to her authority. Tsuni was just a weapon, after all. She did what she was told by her family, and her family was Oto. She would obey any command that they gave.

Toshi laid there with his eyes closed. He felt wet all over and there were waves going up his pants. He laid there motionless as he checked to make sure everything wasn't tied up. His hands were free and so was his legs. 'My legs are free... And so are my arms... then what is covering my face and why can't I see?' He slowly moved his hand up towards his face. He felt a something wet. It was pretty thick too. He grabbed it and slightly pinched it. He heard a yowl and nails dug into the side of his face. He sighed as he knew what it was. It was his own personal leech of his life source. He felt around gently for the scruff of its neck and looked at it. He looked at it and sighed. He lightly rested it on his chest as he stared out into the beautiful ocean. He smiled happily as he scratched the kitty's ears. "So are you a girl or a guy? If I don't understand you I'll just take it as you are a boy." He watched the cat closely. Lunar walked on him with as much feline grace as she possibly could. She put a paw on his chin and licked his lips. 'That should knock it into him that I'm a girl.' Toshi blinked at Lunar and started to stare into her face, silent moments passed before Toshi spoke. "So... You're a guy then. Got it." Lunar's eyes narrowed at Toshi as she released an onslaught of slashes to his face. He jumped up running and screaming trying to pull the cat off of his face. "H-Help me! He's gone crazy and is attacking me!!! HEEEELLPPP!!!!! This cat wants to turn me into sushi!" He was running around and tripped on a piece of drift wood. Lunar felt Toshi tipping so she jumped up in the air as Toshi fell face first into the sand and slide until he was in front of Tsuni and Urza. Lunar landed lightly on the back of Toshi's head and sat there looking at the two ladies in front of her. 'Sheesh. Why did my owner have to be such an idiot? Oh well... Someone's got to take care of him.' She thought to herself. Toshi groaned weakly as he laid in the sand, his head nearly buried.
DC:10
Lunar's roll:18+9=27
Toshi's roll: 15+0=15 vs 27.

T╚══════.♥.═╝Miyako awoke and immediately began coughing. All she remembered was being on the boat and then spinning around in the sea. It almost made her sick again. All the water around her, being bobbed around by the waves... She stopped coughing and realized she could use some water. Her throat felt dry and even food sounded good about now. She looked around to see Toshi, Urza, and Tsuni. "Ugh... that wasn't fun at all..." She stood up and brushed off her legs. She must have been laying in the sun for a while since her clothes were almost dry. "Everyone alright?" The storm... there was something off about it. She wondered if the others noticed it as well. "Did you guys notice anything about the storm? It didn't seem... natural..."

Urza sighed making her way inland on the beach. She looked at all of her friends one by one. Urza's eyes fell on Tsuni, whom seemed about as lost as a child without her mother. "Tsuni... Just stick close for now. Until we have a plan, we should try to stick together." Urza adjusted her armor as the other two seemed to become a bit more awake. Toshi was struggling with his cat, and Miyako mentioned something about the storm. Urza looked down at her feet as if trying to decide what to do. If they stayed on the beach it was possible a ship could roll by and spot them. But they would need food, and shelter would be good if weather took another turn for the worse. For those things however they would need to head into the unkown inland... Urza looked up. "I agree, it is odd how quickly that fierce of a storm occurred, though I am not a sea faring knight, so I couldn't tell you whether of not that was a natural occurrence." Urza looked from the shore to the land. "So now.... What should we do?"

Tsuniyoshi Mazakou Human Form LV. 5 Hp: 55 Cp: 65 MHp: 45 Dodge Bonus: 4 Tsuni blinked, looking down as her big bro slid into the sand at her and Urza's feet, the mazakou blinking at the sight passively as though having no particular observations to make on the matter, before pointing in the direction of the animal that was sitting atop Toshi with an abstract fascination. "...Is it normal to let a cat use you as a sleigh sled, or is big bro just "special" like that...?" she inquired honestly. She had after all, only seen one cat in her entirely experience with them since taking note of their proper name, so she considered this important information. She also seemed to be trying to call Toshi weird in the gentlest and most reverent of ways. "Does big bro need help out of the sand...?" But when Miyako too seemed to stir, raising herself up from the beach and addressing them all, Tsuni responded immediately, as though having been asked such a question by a superior. "Tsuni was not sure. She does not have any exprience with the sea to compare it to." she turned around looking at the endless crystal blue with an aimless intrigue. "This is the first time Tsuni has ever even seen the ocean...so she couldn't really say whether what happened to us was odd or not...but..." she seemed slightly disapproving. "If it was not odd, Tsuni would prefer not to travel by boat anymore...she did not have fun being tossed about like one of her weaker copies in a washing machine..." she then seemed to realize her error. "N-not that...Tsuni put one of her weaker copies in a washing machine once...or anything." she lied with all the finesse of a clumsy walrus. Urza once more spoke, and Tsuni's attention refocused, her big sis's words filling her with comfort. Sticking close. That was an order that she could follow! She felt at home again, now hovering close to Urza like a puppy that had just been praised. At asked for an assessment of the situation itself, Tsuni looked towards the jungle, the faint trail that seemed to lead into it. "Tsuni does not recognize this place..." she looked up towards the sun, squinting slightly. "Big bro says that if the sun is there...then..." she seemed to reasoning something out. "Tsuni is confused that we are not on the mainland. That way is north..." she turned and pointed roughly parallel with the shore. "And if we were washed back to the land of Yuu, place, then Tsuni is sure the sea should be to the east..." she blinked, but pointed at the vast ocean. "But..." she seemed to think this statement was self explanatory, even though the fact they were on an island merely due to the location they'd been lost in the storm should have been obvious. Turning back around to the lush tropical jungle rising before them, she seemed to nod. "Tsuni thinks that we should focus on safety before being found. At least we have plenty of water..." she bent down to the ocean and took a drink of the sea water...only to spit it out. "Ack! T-tsuni does not like this water...it's...funny tasting..." she'd never actually had an experience with "salty".

Toshi listened to those around him and mumbled in the sand before he realized he wasn't able to be heard. He lifted his head, causing lunar to shift to his shoulders, and looked at Tsuni. "Don't drink that. It'll make you thirstier. Hmmm uhh... How to put it. It's bad water that makes you weaker if you drink it." He slowly pushed himself up as he looked at the other two girls. He had never really met or had even a chance to talk to them. He still had his mind set but he shouldn't be mean to these people. It's not like THEY attacked Otogakure. He brushed the dirt from his face. He decided to remain quiet, with the attack he tried to do to the ... Otokage... it wasn't a surprise if they were weary of him or even distrusting. So he decided to just keep to himself and rub under lunar's chin. He know the cat was nice but he wondered what the flare ups were about. He decided to put that into the back of his mind as well. He looked towards the jungle and sighed. He much preferred mountains or even plains, MAYBE a forest as long as he could run through it but this... This was going to be a challenge.

T╚══════.♥.═╝Miyako looked over to Urza and Tsuni. They both seemed to think to stay together and find shelter. Miyako had to agree. Although someone could be here at any moment, if they waited around and no one showed, they would be screwed later. "I vote we look for shelter, water, and some food. We know nothing of this place as Tsuni clearly pointed out and the faster we make ourselves safe, the better." She knew that something was up with that storm. She could feel it, see it... it clearly wasn't right. "I have a bad feeling that whatever was responsible for that storm is close by. There is no way that storm was created by nature. The feel of it... the sight... I don't know, pretty much everything about it." Tsuni then went to drink from the sea and then spit it out. Toshi pointed out that it would make her even thirstier, "That and not to mention if you drink too much you'll have the runs... you know.... the bathroom... number two?" It seemed that Tsuni wasn't quite up to speed with certain things, so she wanted to make sure she understood. Miyako decided to take a look around and see if there was anything out of the ordinary or anything that would seem to their benefit. She stood up on a rock and looked around.

Miyako
(( Reaction: The weather here is very warm. If you've ever been to the finest of tropical resorts, it would feel something similar. Trying to peer through thick canopy from the top of the rock, you can't see much...or can you. No now that look, there is indeed something visible to the north east of your current position, the ocean at your back to the west. Just barely through the tree's, at what appears to be a very great distance away, you manage to see what could be a flag dancing in the breeze. Again it's hard to make it out due to the distance and the thick foliage of the jungle...but...))

Urza looked through the foliage. A flag huh? Urza looked from Tsuni to Miyako than to Toshi. She knew she had just said that they should all stick together. But on the off chance that whatever the flag belonged to was hostile would it be a good idea to head in that direction as a pack? Urza closed her eyes thinking. She had never dealt with being in a position in the wild where she had to think of the well being of more than just herself. Urza looked at the three of them once more. "We have a couple options as far as I see it. We can all head towards the flag together. We can all ignore the flag and try and find shelter and water elsewhere. Or we can split up into two groups, a recon group and a foraging group... What do you guys think?" Urza offered up her idea letting the majority decide. It may have been a good idea to split, as they would cover more ground, and though it would lead them to be more vulrable. Not that Urza had any issue with combat, and Miayko could hold her own. Also from what she understood Tsuni was supposed to be a super weapon.. Urza didn't know Toshi's skills if he had the gall to stand up to the Otokage, he had to be quite the scrappy little fighter.

Tsuniyoshi Mazakou Human Form LV. 5 Hp: 55 Cp: 65 MHp: 45 Dodge Bonus: 4 "Tsuni thinks it would be a much better idea to stick together. Splitting up when we don't know where we are would be a really bad idea, even Tsuni can see that. She supposes it might be best to look around first, before the big bro's and sis's start getting bold enough to split up..." She looked around before spotting a nearby tall, particularly large, palm tree, and trotted off towards it, setting foot on the trunk and walking up the side of it casually, chakra allowing her to defy gravity by securing herself to it's surface. Walking up the trunk, her body parallel to the ground, she arrived at a raised elevation like Miyako, righting her self atop the top of the tree and standing normally. Peering about herself, she seemed rather blank faced. Survival check: 10+13=23 (success) Tsuni had seen her fair share of trails wilderness during the border conflict, and was adapt enough to know her way around dense foliage, even if that which she was familiar with was more temperate. "Tsuni does not think it would be good to split up..." she pointed over in another direction to that which big sis Miyako was looking, her tone clearly trying to sound impressive to improve their view of her. "She isn't sure just how big, but from the trails she can see from here, there's alot of really super big animals living here... she doesn't see any right now though..."

Toshi lifted his head out of the sand as the conversations around him progressed. Lunar shifted herself to his shoulder and nuzzled against his cheek in attempt to wipe the sand off. Toshi looked and Lunar and smiled. "I'm sorry but I don't have any food right now. So just be a good boy and hang tight. When we find some food I'll more then gladly give you some little guy." His ears perked up by the sound of Tsuni's voice. She talked about animals. Large animals at that. He then turned his head to look at Urza as he sat back so he didn't have to crane his neck just to see her. "I agree with Tsuni. . . Wait. . . Yeah. I think we should stick together. Hmmm as for the flag... If there's a flag that means people. If there is people that means there is food right? I'm kinda hungry and wouldn't mind some clean water so I'm casting my vote for checkin' out the flag." He turned his attention to Lunar who started to bat his ear with her paw due to boredom. He sighed offered 'him' a warning. "You better be careful buddy. If those animals are big then you are just a snack. So you better be able to be a sneaky little guy if it comes down to running into them." He scratched her head to try and calm her down. She purred softly under his touch as he shifted his feet under him till he was standing.

T╚══════.♥.═╝Miyako pondered it for a moment. She decided it would be a good idea to at least head in that direction. If anything, they could change the plan to suit whatever they ran into. She walked over to the path, "I say we get going. I don't want to be treking through the jungle at night, especially with 'huge' animals... I had enough creepy in that village, I don't want to experience that again in such a short amount of time." She looked out down the path seeing if there was anything off about it, not to mention she wanted to look for any tracks. Maybe she could get information about the wildlife like how much time passed since the prints were made. She didn't want to walk unaware into a predator's hunting grounds...
