Welcome to Gaia! ::

Pair two damage IF Hiru wants it.

You do not have to combine their attacks into one.

((Critical hit isn't 1-hit KO for Zombies attacking people alive. It's just the standard double damage.

Critical Hits are "headshots" though for Shinobi.))

Keep an eye out on my post on the first page for updates on stats for the zombies.

Batsu looked over at Masaraku and immediately doom lines were across his face along with a look of utter disdain. One Hoshigaki was enough. Now he had to worry about the possible attitude of a second one? Just great. Batsu's head soon dropped down and his eyes squeezed shut.

"Yes Masaraku. We just need to stay on our toes.We are, most likely, the two strongest in the group. So if this kid is still an academy student then we have to keep watch over him. Hopefully he won't be too much trouble."

"Sh-shirayuki Kaede of Konohagakure r-r-reporting," the girl then bowed her head several times profusely. "U-uhm... I'm... I'm... I'M VERY SORRY FOR MY TARDINESS. IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN."

Kaede was a haggard mess by the time she had located and reached the spot where she was supposed to meet her assigned teammates. Not only did the complex and sprawling layout of the metropolis, a place of which she had absolutely no familiarity with, confuse the poor girl but she had gotten lost along the way. Her panting and her hair matted with sweat were proof of her troubles.

When Kaede lifted her head so that she could nervously peek at the faces of her teammates behind her bangs, her anxiety levels would increase. There was not a single familiar face to be found among the group of boys, a gender she could not say she could easily adjust to interacting with. Not to mention that all of them were from other villages and the girl did not know enough about foreign relations policies to trust herself to talk about anything other than mission-related topics. Well, at least they were around her age so that was slightly comforting for her. Though... perhaps this sign of inexperience shouldn't be a good thing either? The girl was too conflicted to decide.

Though, if she didn't know these boys at all then the same would go for them about her... probably. It would be considerate to tell them more about herself either way.

She bit her lip, "Uhm, I'm still an a-a-academy st-student so I still... h-have a lot to learn. But I do kn-know the basic j-jutsu mostly... except for the K-k-kakuremino no Jutsu... and the Ji-jibaku Fuda: K-k-kassei... Uhm, th-there isn't anything that I-I would say I'm p-particularly good at e-either. Since I'm st-still learning and a-all..."

...

And now that she reflected on her words, she was beginning to feel stupid.

Way to make a good first impression, Shirayuki you idiot.

She wracked her brain thinking of what to say to redeem herself. What she had said was the truth so it wasn't like she could take it back. And when the one - whom she assumed was the squad leader going by how the others addressed him 'senpai' - had inquired for how to combat their objectives, she drew a blank. Kaede didn't have any experience in fighting against the undead, much less devising strategies to combat them but...

"Well, uhm, I brought k-kunai... with me i-if you guys would like to t-take any. Th-that is... I don't mind i-if you do."

She was understandably distressed upon learning of the dangers of engaging in close combat. The thought of succumbing to the infectious disease and turning on her teammates... or her teammates turning on her was something she wanted to avoid if possible. Of course, there was also the problem of the limited amount of projectiles that could actually thrown. If they were all gone then what would be left that could be used to defend oneself? So she had opted to decide on a weapon that could be used for melee and ranged combat. How well this idea would work in the long term was something she was not looking forward to finding out.

Thank you ProtoXtreme for making the posting layout.

Karasu would emit a small sigh upon hearing them talk. "Thank god.." He said lightly, his voice much more sturdy than before. It's not that he was ever scared, just taking two on at once would probably be dangerous. Especially if the infection was easily spreadable. Karasu's relieve would kind of flat line when he got called a little boy. His eyes grew slightly lidded in distaste. "Was that a pun? Or..." He shook his head. Disregarding the softy comment. Then when the larger of the brother spoke, Karasu seemed to pay attention a little better. He figured that the bigger one was probably more in charge. Kind of like Karasu was with his brother.

"I am more adept in Taijutsu. But I might need the range to avoid infection." Karasu said this with confidence. When he was given a choice for weapon he actually used his brain for a change. He would turn his attention back to the shorter one now. "If you merge with the infected are you completely sure that you wont contract the disease.. If not you are risking making the infected stronger" He could feel their chakra patterns despite being nothing more than a novice himself. That was saying something.

[[Pretty cool image for the brothers.]]

Mizuiro arrived where others had already gathered, which was good, he didn't want to be alone in all of this. He actually saw a half eaten carcass on the way, and he didn't want to end up like that.
"Hey." He didn't really feel like talking, all he wanted was to kick some a**.
