Welcome to Gaia! ::

Vincent was quite amazed at how well behaved Fluffy was. He started to look at the dog and started to wonder how it was that the old man had trained this dog. It was such a mystery to him as the dog seemed to trot as if it was horse in a horse show. It did occur to him how different dogs were to cats. He remembered how a sensei had once said, "Dogs look up to you. Cats look down on you. Give me a pig so that he'll look me in the eye like an equal."

It did occur to him that perhaps it was because of that idea that dogs look up to people that caused such a dog to be so well behaved.

He had taken the dog up and down the main street of Konohakagure and came around back to the house where the client was.

"Oh!" The old man said, "Thanks for walking fluffy for me, young man."

After Vincent handed the leash over to the old man he had to ask, "How did you train your dog to be so well behaved?"

The old man smiled, "It's the same thing that allows you to achieve any goal or dream."

"What's that?"

"Patience, young man. Patience. Have a nice day." The old man smiled before he closed the door.

[Mission: Walk a Pet - Post 3/3]

After Vincent had dropped off the cat, Mister Muggles, to a very grateful fat woman he came back out to the main streets of Konohakagure and looked over the mission papers that he still had in his pocket. Looking them over he came to the next one that he hadn't done.


Trash Collection
Mission Rank: D
Information: There has been trash everywhere in Memorial Park. We need you to pick up the trash.
How-To-Do: Post at least 3 times in the certain area what you picked up and how you picked it up.

Seeing the job posting he figured that this job would be a lot more relaxed than what he had to do before with the chasing of the cat and walking the dog.

And so he headed over to Memorial Park.

[Exit to Memorial Park]

Vincent didn't really know the names of the weeds that he was pulling but as he looked at them it did occur to him that they looked a lot like really tall grass. But he paid it no mind as he pulled at each one.

"Be sure to pull it by the root," The client said as she stood behind Vincent.

Vincent followed her instructions and pulled each weed by the base of it and he then saw the roots coming up along with the clumps of dirt.

"There you go." She said as she patted Vincent on his bare back.

Before Vincent could continue on the job he turned back to the client and had to ask something.

"Would you mind if I picket a few flowers?" He asked

"Which ones?" She asked.

"A couple of roses for this girl I know."

The client laughed, "My husband loves roses. That's how he proposed to me. With a literal ring around a rose stem."

She said this proudly displaying a white gold band with red stone set into it before bringing it back to rub her pregnant mid-section.

"Go ahead," She smiled.

[Mission: Picking the Weeds - Post 2/4]

Vincent took the roses that he had picked from the bushes and set them down upon his cloak and flak jacket before he had turned his attention back to the last set of weed picking. He stopped for a while to wipe the sweat away from his forehead and he looked up and saw that the day had progressed much further onward. It must have been around four or five o'clock. Coming close to dinner time. He hadn't bothered eating breakfast or lunch that day since there were the missions to take care of.

Gathering up the plucked weeds into his arms he brought them back over to the trashcan near the house. Stretching and hearing (even feeling) the vertebrae in his back start to pop he then looked back over the garden and saw how wonderfully picturesque now that the weeds had been taken out.

He went back to where he set down his cloak, flak jacket, and black shirt. Putting them on and holding the flowers in his hand he headed to the house.

Knocking upon the door, the pregnant client answered.

"Thank you so much," She smiled, "And I think your girl will love the flowers."

"You think so?" Vincent asked

"I know so." She smiled, "If they're from the one she loves then she'll love them."

Vincent smiled and left.

[Exit to the Hidden Leaf Dorms]

Hiniko walked the dog easily for a bit stopping when it wanted to sniff a flower or something. She hummed to herself wondering what the others were doing. Probably the same as her, missions. She walked a bit quicker as the dog pranced in a showing off way in front of her. She laughed.
2/3 pet walking mission

The dog suddenly picked up the pace and caused hiniko to have to jog to keep up with him. Remembering the name on his tag, she called to him.
"Come on Bingo, running?" she laughed weaving through people back to his owners home who was waiting for them. He payed her taking his dog. "Thank you, it's good for him to get to meet other people" he smiled.

"No problem at all"she responded. "He was a lt of fun" she bowed to him and turned to leave, a small figurine in her hand with her payment. it was a dog she thought it nice of him.
3/3 walking dog mission

(exit to dorms)

Hiniko had just made it back to the mans house when he opened the door. He looked annoyed. "Finally!" he said as she handed him the bags.

"I told you not to waste time! a higher ranked shinobi wold have had it here sooner!" he snapped. He tossed his payment to her, and slammed the door in her face. She stood their a moment wanting to break his door down.

But it was a mission, he was a client and she couldn't hurt him. She turned and walked away. when that boy had tried to take Vincents scroll he threatened her to. ever sense her little outburst, she has been learning to try and control her outbursts.

She sighed.
3/3 delivering ramen

After dealing with finding the wallet and returning to the client, Vincent looked over the mission listings again.

Help out at the Library
Mission Rank: D
Information: The Library is dirty and the owner needs some help cleaning it, storing the books... etc.
How-To-Do: Post at least 4 times on what you clean, helped at the library

“Heh, back to the library again, huh?” Vincent thought to himself and headed back there.

[Exit to Hidden Leaf Library]

Vincent had arrived back at the client’s house and then realized that there was no way for him to let the client know that he had arrived since both of his arms were carefully balancing the ramen bowls and trying like hell not to spill any of them. One could say that there’s no use crying over spilt milk but there certainly is enough reason to cry over spilt ramen. Especially if it was someone else who did the spilling.

Vincent had then thought of an interesting idea. He used his head and came forward enough to lightly tap it on the door. He lifted it and tapped. Lifted again and tapped as if his head were his knuckles to be rapped on the door.

The door opened and the tall man was standing there with a great smile on his face.

“Had I known that it was going to be this much I would have gone with you to get them.” He said.

“Well, you had other things to take care of, right?” Vincent asked.

“Right.” The man said as he began to carefully take up the bowls from Vincent’s arms and bring them inside. After the last bowl was taken off of Vincent’s arm he then reached into his pocket and pulled out the change that Ayame had given him back at Ichiraku Rame bar.

He held it out to the man and the man looked at him.

“Keep the change, shinobi,” he smiled, “It’s going to be a great party tonight. Care to join?”

“I’d like to but I have other missions to attend to.”

“Alright,” The man shrugged and said, “have a nice day.”

The door closed and Vincent was left with a few crumpled wads of paper money that he slipped into his pocket.
