 Tsuoiki Otobe Tsuo gave a slightly irritated look to the boy who had awakened him. He could feel merely from the sound vibrations coming off him that he wasn't a clan mate...but then...who was it who had abducted him? He waited, listening, rather, listening as the Otobe listened. There seemed to be about four or five people in this place...the way the sound waves were echoing...it wasn't very large...some stone work, but mostly wood. If he had to guess, he'd actually guess that this place wasn't very large at all... a cabin, maybe? He looked at the boy who had awakened him. He had obviously known enough to jump start his chakra system in order to wake him from the state he'd been put in...interesting...he looked towards the bokken he was carrying...a Ninja student perhaps...? That seemed most likely... hn...it was a pain to have to deal with someone outside of the clan...but he supposed a genuis such as himself had to make concessions...after all, Lord Orikami insisted that those outside the clan could be just as skilled and important as those within...even if Tsuo himself doubted it. Then again, he thought MOST people were inferior idiots, so it wasn't much to say he thought it of people outside the clan. The boy was signaling to him, but the signals were basic, non specific, not too helpful if indeed they were in a hostile situation as his previous kidnapping suggested. Tsuo slowly got up into a crouched position of his own, and began making the academy training hand signals to the other boy. Hoping that he would at least be able to get the basic gist of what he was saying. He had a few questions. "Don't make any noise." he signaled silently. "You are a student too...?"
"How long have you been awake?"
"Were you taken as well?"
"What's the situation?
"What do you know about our location?"
"Who are the five men that are at the front of this building...?"
((Make an innuendo check to answer))

Basic stuff you don't understand? ' Thought the academy student, as he sighted to himself in disbelief. Looking back at him for a moment, he watched as the Otobe boy started asking questions. Makoto tried to answer but he had completely forgot how too, all this nervousness was unhealthy if he could barely think. Taking a deep breath to mentally calm himself down, Makoto held up his finger as if trying to tell him to give him a moment. Sighing again, he believed that he was ready to answer his questions.

((Reaction: You are silent enough to remain hidden, but the young man doesn't seem to catch your meaning, you understand what he's saying at least, but he doesn't catch what you are trying to convey. You suspect your just panicked from the situation. In this case though, as long as you aren't detected, you can try and explain the situation to him again, and answer his questions...))

Resting posts must be 4 lines long +1 hp/cp/mhpSwallowing the lump in his thought, Makoto started to make his hand sighs to the kid when he accidentally hit the table. Turning to grab it, he finally captured it before it could break and give away their location. Sighing to himself with extreme depression, he could finally tell that he was not going to make like this.... he was turning into a liability for the Otobe kid. Speaking of which, Makoto could tell that he was not happy at all with this... Placing the vase away to where it would not break, Makoto thought for a moment before he began again. ' Okay... Sorry about all that. ' he signaled silently. ' Yes... I'm a student with the Oto Academy, Name's Makoto'' I don't know to be perfectly honest, but I do believe over 15 minutes... possibly 20. '' Yes, I was captured by a group of expert ninjas as well... In fact, I have some Intel that there is another one of us in this building... where to begin...'Makoto stopped there for a moment to think about everything that had happened as he continued to speak. Thinking about the entire conversation, he started to make his signs again. 'Okay... this is basically everything that happened to me after I awoke...'With that said, he started making his hand signs again in as much detail as he could. Telling him everything that had happened, being a sensor and from a royal clan... Makoto was not about to want to get on the Otobe Clans bad side. He left no details out except for the items he had found, explaining to him that they were possibly a few of the kidnappers themselves. But at the end he explained his ultimate goal to the Otobe, hoping he would understand where he was coming from. ' I'm guessing that they are members of the old ways in Oto and they are trying to change us to the Old ways, After waking up and finding out there are more then just me and you... It falls upon me to make sure your safety is the highest priority, but I can't leave until I save the others as well... Please... Can you assist me in locating the other member they kidnapped?

((Reaction: You just barely avoid knocking over something as you adjust yourself in an attempt to redo the signals, barely managing to catch the object in time, much to the boy's somewhat annoyed expression. He clearly is rather exasperated with you, but as you begin signaling he falls more business like, it seems he can understand you.))

Tsuoiki Otobe Tsuo adjusted his glasses slightly, a hand still to the floor as he observed the boy's report from start to finish. at least he seemed capable enough, being able to escape his bonds and locate him...his report on their conversation and the surrounding terrain was helpful as well...his fellow student might not be entirely useless. He closed his eyes hand on the wooden floor. The Otobe's Kekke Genkai, their enhanced ability to pick up, interpret, and emit vibrations, assisted him as he listened carefully to the noises within the home...the mountain side cabin, if the other boy was to be believed. He opened his eyes again and nodded, signalling. " There's five of them up at the front of the house." he then seemed to consider it. " Maybe more." he noted more as an after thought. " If one that took us here, won't find." he frowned, looking almost puzzled as he tried to convey. " No Sound. That one. No Sound." he shook his head but put himself back on the task of locating this apparent other captive. He nodded. " Yes. Another," he signaled roughly with one hand, his other feeling the floor still, his second chakra enhanced sensory system allowing him "hear" through his entire body, and giving him literally no sound threshold. One couldn't startle an Otobe with a loud noise, because to them all sound was filtered through their "second self". Only when they activated their full potential, synchronizing the two, were they vulnerable to loud noises, but as a result their already incredible senses other than sight was even greater. This sound was quiet...hard to make out, but, " Breathing...light, the next room." he hinted to the wall nearest them, separating them from the next room down the hallway. " Caution." he then seemed to ponder over some matter for a moment. " If discovered, get away from me," he paused as though thinking this might give a wrong impression. " If found, put wall, stone, between you, and me. Cover ears." he even mimed the motion. He then hinted to him, slightly reluctant, but accepting. " You explored, you lead way." As much as it annoyed him to follow anyone, let alone a non clan member, this boy had gotten free first, and he hated the thought of owing anyone a debt...he'd let him take the lead for now...

Resting posts must be 4 lines long +1 hp/cp/mhpOpening the door slightly as he looked around for anyone that was around, Makoto nodded his head silently as he opened the door a bit more before exiting the room with the kid. Looking to his left and right to make sure that he was not truly being followed by anyone but the Otobe clan member, the academy student silently made his move as he down the hallway to the next door. He knew that the Otobe boy could be trusted as an information source, but he needed to verify it if he was going to continue. Still... The boy was as good as he was when it came to keeping quiet, if not better then he was already. Slowly opening the door to have a peck inside, he verified that the girl was in there alone. Opening the door a bit to allow themselves in, Makoto entered in first with the Otobe behind him to close the door. She was awake, just as the intel had said she was... possibly more intel they could get from her if she was freed. She looked at Makoto and the Otobe boy with a degree of surprise before he smiled and waved to her, Letting her know that they were not the enemies here as well. She did look very familiar to him, yea... they were in the same class together at one point. Well... no since in waiting to rescue her when she was right there, Makoto looked over to the Otobe boy and nodded to him as he started searching. If she had information that they could possibly use, the Otobe boy was the one he could trust to get the job done... better them him at least. Looking around the room for a moment, he could tell that they were not in a storage room like he and the Otobe kid was in. In fact, it was something rare that he had barely seen... a traditional eastern style kitchen. Makoto's eyes seemed to light up the moment he realized this, but kept his silents so that they could continue to work. But something interested him slightly... why was she in a kitchen, tied up as a prisoner... Either they were stupider then he thought, or this could be some form of a joke. Examining the entire kitchen for anything that could be useable, He realized that this kitchen had just been recently put back into use. A lot of food was here as well that could be used for rations, but that would have to come up later in their hand sign talks... voices this close could possibly give away their freedom. Finding a kunai on the table as well, Makoto collected the kunai and looked it over for the usage he wanted it to have... it would work perfectly. Looking back at the Otobe kid and the girl that he was greeting with the same hand signs, Makoto shock his head as he looked around for a moment more to inspect his surroundings. He found something off... a single pantry door in the corner, it looked... off. Shaking his head, Makoto silently made his way back to the Otobe boy and the girl he was keeping company. Approaching them both, Makoto nodded to him before he carefully cut the bindings off her legs and her hands behind the chair. Looking back at the boy again, he gave him a thumbs up to say that it was okay... she could move now. Stealth Test Stealth (Dex): 2 + D20 = 10 Awareness Test Awareness (Wis): 2 + D20 = 8

((Reaction: You manage to make it out of the room and through the hallway, back into the room beside the previous, without alerting the men at the front to your presence, the Otobe boy following behind you. You'd guess his skill for stealth is about the same as your own. As the two of you enter the next room where the third party is, you sure enough find her, though unlike the previous occupant, this girl seems to be awake. She looks at the two of you entering with a degree of surprise, her hands tied behind her back with knots such the bonds which held you. You notice that this girl is most likely an Oto student, the same as yourself, and that she likely had been awake since even before you, given what the men said earlier. She might possess information you do not.
This room is a bit different from the room that you and the Otobe boy were depositied, it seems to be more a run down traditional eastern style kitchen, which has been recently put back into use by the home's new occupants. There's some food on the rough wooden counter, and a Kunai next to some diced vegetables which you presume are being used int eh stew they were making out front. The Kunai looks like it could be sharp enough to cut through rope if need be.
Searching the room as the Otobe boy with you greets the girl in the same curt hand signaled manner in which he greeted you, you manage to just barely stumble upon a pantry door in the corner, which might lead down into a cellar of some manner, though the door seems heavy. It might be easier to lift with help. Str DC 25))

Tsuoiki Otobe Tsuo gave a slight look of comtept down the hall as they slipped quietly back out into back corridor of this humble mountain home. From a precursory listen around the home looked much the same as he had expected just from the ambient vibrations. His eyes seemed to be swerving slightly from left to right as they slipped into the room that he been next to his own, sliding the paper door shut behind them carefully. Sure enough another student was being kept here, a girl by the look. Though even at a glance he could immediately tell that the boy who had found him must have been some manner exception in "not being completely useless" because this girl, it appeared, had been left alone in a room with kunai and NOT bee able to cut her bonds free, while the boy with the wooden sword had managed to escape his own without one...how annoying. The girl had seemed to be trying to scoot over to where the kunai was, and may have reached it eventually, but even so. Pathetic. He signaled to her to be quiet, hoping that she at least understood. As the other more useful of his fellow students undid the girl's bonds, Tsuo busied himself with filling the girl in via hand signals. Despite being clearly useless, the girl seemed practiced with hand signals at least, and was able to communicate with him passably as they conversed back and forth.
"How long awake?"
The answered promptly at least. "half hour, maybe. Hard tell time.""Report." the signal was short, commanding, and to the point. The girl responded promptly. "Abducted coming home from training ground. Three men...one not man. Woman in henge." she signaled to her own face. "Face seem..." she seemed to hesitate as though trying to remember "..familiar." she made the next signal with more certainty "Missing nin. Blonde hair. Lightning mark on side of face."Tsuo adapted a thoughtful pose, signalling while nodding "One with no sound. Quiet. Skilled." he then went to thinking back on what the other more useful of his resources...er, fellow students, and discovered. He looked over to him signalling in reference to what he had mentioned the men talking about. "Hikari...?" making the individual letters, before going back to the whole word signals. "You think?" he looked back to the girl. "Go on."
"They keep talking about place taking us. Three more days. This is safe house til coast clear. Edge of Rice country."Tsuo seemed annoyed. They were that far away from the village...? That would make things...difficult. "More specific...?"The girl shook her head but noted "Map in bag. Man large have. Saw when check on me." she then looked between the two boy's. "others...?"Tsuo shook his head. "No." he signaled placing his hand to the ground. The girl stood now, looking between the two expectantly as though hoping one of them might be able to magically save them, or assume the position of leader. Tsuo started stroking his chin thoughtfully, signalling with his free hand. "Cliff in back...could scale with enough rope...but not enough just from you two bonds. Could take out the men in front if one alone...but..." he looked at the pair of them. " You not survive Minor vibration. Too close. Wood walls paper doors not thick enough to protect." The Minor vibration was enough to displace the systems of anything alive in it's general vicinity when used for it's more high frequency purposes. There was a limit to how effective it was against full fledged ninja or even genin...but civilians and students at their level found it more then fatal. It would at the least knock them out, and he would have to drag the two of them along with him, which he wasn't suited for...annoying.

He was going to make it short and sweet with his hand signs, considering that he was right… he may have found a way for them to escape. “Possibly another way out has been revealed to us… “Began Makoto with a smile, he was sure that this was their chance to escape. “Metal pantry door in the corner of the room, looks like it enters to a cellar or basement. Could be protection against Minor vibration, also may provide exit for us “signaled makoto with his hands before looking over to the otobe boy, He knew that he had saved the otobe boy and they both saved the girl… but still. Something was uneasy here in this place, but he knew the problems already. “Also we can talk silently in the pantry, if it’s a way out for us then we need to take it… “Signaled makoto to the otobe boy, he was the royally here and he had the final say in the matter. Looking over to the girl, he smiled and simply nodded to her before looking back at the otobe. Stealth Test Stealth (Dex): 2 + D20 = 14

Tsuoiki Otobe Tsuo gave the boy a slightly stern nod as his attention shifted over to the pantry door in question. Hn, this one continued to actually be useful, low and behold. He had to admit that this was a perfect solution, they could conference down there, most likely, and it would if push came to shove serve as a good enough shelter for them if he needed to use the Minor vibration... good. He nodded to the boy. Looking over towards the girl. Ai had to admit that this whole situation was incredibly unpleasant, but she knew for a fact that panicking wouldn't help her in the least here. What Would Xen-sensei have told them...? He had subbed often as an instructor at the old academy, and he'd always explained things to her in a way that made sense... He always told them that when fear threatened to overtake you, you had to remember that fear was sometimes the enemies greatest weapon of all...controlling fear was no different then learning how to dodge an enemies attacks...and evasion had always been her specialty anyway. She just wished that she hadn't spent so much time trying to figure out how often that they sent someone to check on them...she might have been able to wake the others up earlier when she had, and they might have been able to escape already...still, these two boy's really seemed to have it together. And the other boy...the one with the wooden sword, she was fairly sure that she had seen him around the academy before. The other one was an Otobe, obviously, she could tell merely by the way he was closing his eyes listening to the ground. She supposed by academy rules this made him impromptu team leader... he seemed...sharp enough, even if he was obviously a little ill tempered. Moving to the pantry door at his direction, Tsuo gestured for the girl and the other boy to assist him in quietly lifting the door. If they managed to get down inside here, depending on the size, it was most certainly thick enough from the sound that they could at least be able to speak aloud. It was also the most defensible position... It was likely that their kidnappers would come to check on them soon... Tsuo and the girl both laid their hands on the door, preparing to pry it open the with the other boys help... Very heavy, rusted, iron trap door STR DC 25 Combined check: Str Check Tsuo: -1 Roll: 16- 15 Str Check Ai: +0 Roll: 17 ((They opened it by themselves xd You can just say that you helped them I supposed.))

Resting posts must be 4 lines long +1 hp/cp/mhpGrabbing the door along with them, makoto with the help of two others opened the heavy metal slowly and quietly as possible. After they had opened it, they started to pile threw before the otobe boy got his attention. Nodding his head in understanding that the door needed to be closed, he listened in and heard noises outside the door in the room they were in. Swearing under his breath, he grabbed the doors handle from the inside and upped slowly as he placed his back against the door. it closed silently without a noise, but his hands were covered in rust stains. Regardless of this however, after the door had been closed on them, makoto smiled when he could hear nothing coming from the door. They were safe for now, but how long was that going to last them in this place. wiping the rust stains on his pants before he followed them down into the panty, thankfully they may be escaping soon. placing his hands on the walls beside him before following them down to the bottom floor silently, makoto could feel that the panty was small around them. But for some odd reason or another, he know that this was not going to hinder the otobe boy in the slightest way at all. Sitting down on the stairs as a look out just in case the men on top had started looking, makoto could barely see anything in the pitch blackness of the area around them. Closing his eyes for a moment, he started to think of anything they could do or use. because all the intel was there and was already collected by the otobe boy. Hearing a box opening in the room they were in, makoto reached and grabbed his bokken by the handle, but after hearing it close and the light of a tinder box, he realized the the otobe boy had found light for them all to see with. Sighing and releasing his bokken from his grip, the room was lit up by the torch to reveal the secrets it may have had. He was right at the beginning about the panty being small but it was big enough for all of them to fit in, but he was more worried about other things at the moment before he set off to work. looking around them all for a moment, makoto jumped up from his place that he was sitting at as he started to look around with his buddies. Interesting... a few of the old boxes that were just laying around had some old stuff in there, he even found some dry edible rations that they could use. But more importantly, this place was well hidden from the rest of the place. well there had to be another place were their captors had rations stored, but they had all they needed for three days and for possibly three people if they split the take right. looking back at the otobe boy, he saw that he had found the torches and the create of matches they were going to need. Looking back at his side of the wall, he found a heavily rope in a box and another box that was full of kunais... now this was most useful to them as shinobi's. Looking at the corner, he found a few traveling bags that they can use in the corner to store stuff. if they were empty or full of something, he needed to know... but for now they were safe to talk among themselves. " okay... the door is closed and sealed tightly until we leave, also this place seems to be untouched by them. So we are safe here for now, but we have to make a plan as soon as possible... My name is Makoto, may I know your names please. " spoke makoto softly to the other two in the room, he was being silent just in case. But he had a lot to talk about to the others but he needed to be short and sweet in the process, after this entire conversation they needed to get started on their planning.

Makoto
((Reaction: The three of you manage to open the heavy door and slip down inside, the Otobe boy insisting that you close it shut behind you, and with your own sense of awareness, you think you know why. There was a noise coming from beyond the room that might have suggested that they were done with their soup, or at the very least had taken to the notion to send someone to check on you. It won't be long now until they know that you're gone. Your sense of awareness gives to the foresight to brush some of the stray rust that came off the door when you opened it down into the trap door with you, hopefully making it less obvious it was used recently.
The Inside of the pantry is small and pitch black, but you get the sense this didn't bother the Otobe at all. Within a few seconds, as though he could see perfectly, or, rather more likely you are able to figure, could merely sense his way about using sound, he manages to open a rickety box of what appear to be unlit torches, messing with a box of tinder for just a moment lighting one, and revealing the room for what it is.
The Pantry is a small stone cut storage space, with other apparent way out besides the way you came in. There are a few very old boxes here, but as you search around you find that the only rations among them are dry, meaning that the ones your captors were using are likely stored elsewhere. The rations seem edible enough though, dried meats as the like, certainly enough for around three days for three people if properly packed. The rest of the storage space is filled with the box of torches the Otobe boy discovered, a crate of matches, and though you do have to search a bit through the rest of the rubbish to find it, an old box filled with a thick strong rope. You also find a box of Kunai stashed away in the corner...they might be useful...
There's also a few old travel packs in the corner that could be used to store things...
With the door shut, the noise from above it completely cut off by the thick door and the stone walls...
Add to inventory:
Equipment
20 x kunai
Valuables
1x travel pack
1x 3 days rations.
1 Long, fairly strong, rope. Due to size need two people to carry it without cutting it shorter.
5x torches
1x Matches ))
