The last thing Hiruko would need to work on at the academy is his sealing techniques. Finding that part of the library, he would run his hands over the stacks of scrolls and find the jutsu he wanted to learn before going to sit at a table with a pile of sealing paper he can use to practice. Grabbing a pen and ink, he would start running his hand over a raised diagram of a seal in one of the most basic scrolls and start drawing out a copy on a piece of paper. Once he got the hang on the most basic sealing formulas, heโd practice sealing one of his kunai into it and then retreiving it a few times, gradually working on sealing more than 1 weapon when he did. Once that became easy, he started trying to draw some larger, more complicated seals. Heโd have to carefully arrange several pieces of paper next to each other and draw lightly to make a space large enough to draw the seal so that the details inside wouldnโt need to be packed into too small of a space, thus making the chakra not flow correctly through it and the seal not working. As he practiced more, he would continue making larger and larger seals, eventually finding some large practice scrolls instead of the small papers. With those, he could make some of the biggest seals, the most complicated things there were. Once he felt like he had a solid hold of drawing seals ahead of time, he would find some jutsu scrolls that could be cast with chakra only and slowly run his hands over the embossed formula design, memorizing every curve and swirl of the marks before touching a table and sensing the chakra flow as the formula appeared, drawn in chakra/ He then started thinking of how he could seal some of his medical tools into small container seals on his arms, along with more typical ninja tools and projectiles, so whether he needed to fight or operate, he always had plenty of tools at his disposal. After a while long practicing with the formulae, heโd put the scrolls back and pack up to leave the academy for now. Exit
Physical Description:
5ft 10in, roughly average build at 180lbs, Hiruko has approximately jaw length black hair slicked back.He wears a white lab coat over a standard chuunin flak jacketwith a black t-shirt under it and black pants with shinobi sandals. Generally hashis staff strapped diagonally across his back and a his Arashi headband tied around his face, covering his eyes.
Just outside the main entrance to the academy, Chosuke was hard at work on his morning workout. He had started his morning with a light jog through the village before arriving at the academy, followed by a series of squats and crunches and was now going through the final section of his training regime.
Concluding the set of pushups he had been working on, Chosuke allowed his body to fall to the ground with a heavy huff of relief. 'Phew. Finally done.' he thought, rolling over from his stomach to his back. Reaching into his pocket, Chosuke had hoped to retrieve a snack of some sort to replenish his energy. Sadly, all he found were the wrinkled, empty wrappers of food long gone. It seemed he had already eaten all the snacks he had brought with him during the earlier portions of his workout. 'Ah man. I shoulda packed more snacks. Or maybe had a second breakfast?' he thought with a sigh, his stomach giving a light growl in agreement.
It was tempting to return home to acquire more sustenance but Chosuke decided against it. After all, he was supposed to be meeting with Inoyuri and Shikane for training and he didn't want to risk being late (even if Shikane was probably going to do so herself). Though it pained him, he would just have to tough it out until the others arrived and pray that one of the girls would have something he could munch on. Until then, he would preoccupy his mind by watching the clouds drift through the sky, though a lot of them did look tragically food-shaped, though perhaps that was just his own subconscious.

The day began like many others. The timid, terribly shy Yamanaka forced herself up from her slumber in time for breakfast. After which the mask shielded her face from the outside world. Her mother gave her one of those looks. The look she had given her ever since her daughter had wore the mask her husband once had. "I'm gunna go training now. Uh, bye Mom!" Yuri waved her mother off without so much as a kiss goodbye. Today was a very busy day for their team. Lots of training. And lots of food for Chosuke. The poor plump boy had taken a liking to her mother's cooking. Inoyuri didn't really mind considering there was more than enough to go around. But before she could arrive at the meeting spot she had to make a pit stop. The general store, Akimichi's right by her house. Some of Chosuke's favorite chips and some snacks, a bottle of water. Enough for an Akimichi's snack time. The clerk gave her an odd look but money was money. "It's for a friend." Her answer was short and simple. Maybe too short and simple. The clerk didn't ask much of it and off she went. Her mask was sliding off so a moment was taken to readjust it on her face. It was better nobody subject themselves to such torture.
"Chosuke!"
The second member of the tremendous trio of academy students was lying up staring at clouds again. The plastic bag in her right hand swayed as the contents shifted from side-to-side with each step. Would he even know what kind of food she had gotten for him? Inoyuri sat the crinkling container on the ground beside him while the mask of hers gazed deep into her Cho's eyes.
"I got you your favorites. Sorry I'm late."
Of course she knew she was on time as did her round companion. But it was a nervous tic of hers that both of her teammates were quite well aware of. When they all had met on the first day of class it was very clear that she was the odd duckling in the pond. The mask, the constant apologizing. Had it not been for her two friends by clan, Yuri was very certain that her fate lied in very dark places. They may recall what she had told them. The mask belonged to her late father. It was one of the few things that she could remember him by. The teasing of others had caused her to don this mask in fear of what others may think of her without it. It took a few weeks of prying to get that information out of here. They were still working on getting her to take it off. To let the whole wide world see her lovely face. But no luck yet. She was sure that the other several student bodies would disagree.
"Is Shika here?"

Torture. That's what it was. Taunted by figures a sweet and savory morsels as he gazed up into the sky. How much longer would he be made to suffer? Was it his fate to slowly whither away to nothing? Was there no respite to the hunger that sought to consume him?
"Chosuke!"
Hearing the familiar voice of his friend, Inoyuri, Chosuke was happy to have a familiar face blocking his view of the clouds that had been plaguing him. Well, it was actually Inoyuri's mask that he was looking at but it was a welcomed sight nonetheless. "Hey there, Inoyuri!" he greeted enthusiastically, grinning from ear to ear. Also accompanying the arrival of his friend was another familiar sound of a crinkling bag. Turning his head to the side, Chosuke's eye's lit up like the morning sun as his gaze fell upon the cornucopia of food that Inoyuri had brought with her. The sight of it was almost enough to bring him to tears of joy. "And you brought snacks?! You're the best!" he exclaimed as he rose to a seated position.
Words could not describe how thankful Chosuke was to have Inoyuri as a friend. Not only was she one of the sweetest and most kind people that he knew, but she also paid attention to the types of food he liked to eat and would bring them for him all the time. Truly, he was blessed to have her in his life. He only wished she valued herself as much as he did. Between hiding her face behind her mask and constantly putting herself below other people, she definitely had issues with her self confidence. It was fine though. Until she learned to believe in herself, he'd just have to believe in her twice as much.
For Chosuke, opening the bag of food was like opening a treasure chest. Chips, candies, even a bottle of water to wash everything down, Inoyuri had thought of it all. And of course, the greatest gem of them all was the container of her mother's cooking that she had brought along. His mouth was practically drooling as he took it all in. Not wasting any time, he quickly dove in and began consuming the meal like a wild beast, paying no mind to what others may have thought of his carnal display.
Admits the sounds of chomping and chewing, Chosuke heard Inoyuri inquire as to whether or not Shika had arrived yet. "Nah. But you know how she is. She'll get here when she gets here. She's probably not even out of bed yet." he explained, chuckling a bit at the last part before continuing his meal. After a minute or so of ravenous consumption, Chosuke finally slowed down a bit, having finished the dish Inoyuri's mother had made and now snacking on one of the bags of chips she'd also brought. "I tell ya, Inoyuri. If you ever learn to cook like your mom, you're gonna make someone one heck of a wife." he stated as he stared off into the distance, enjoying the feeling of content that came with a full stomach.

"HOOOO SHIKANE!" A man shouted as he was hovering over his daughter. She was still dead to the world. "You brought this on!" With that, he yanked the mattress out from under her as she yelped and landed onto the floor. With a sleepy groan and a yawn, the sleepy Nara glanced up at her father. What the heck? It wasn't unusual for her mother to do what he just did but her father? Shikane paused for am moment and listened. She groaned as she fell back onto the floor. "Mom ain't here so you be trying to act like her, right am I?" She questioned as the man shrugged. Figured that she would figure it out quick. Her father never wakes her up. Always her mother. And there was no smell of her mother's cooking in the air. Figures. With that, her father left the room. "WAIT JUST AIE MINUTE!" Shikane shouted as she sat up, "Aren't cha gonna put my bed back?!" They both glare at each other and started to laugh. Who was she kidding? She'll sleep on the bed where it was now. In the center of the room. Despite being lazy, Shikane actually keeps her room clean and tidy. She just wasn't going to move the bed back.
With a sleepy yawn, Shikane had walked past the clock, not even paying attention to where the hands were. She glanced at the kitchen. Well. No bother cooking. The young Nara was grateful for her mother. Her father and herself wouldn't have any real food because who the heck has time to cook? Besides the Akimichi and the Yamanakas of course. With a mental roll of her eyes, Shikane had gotten a bag and start to shove different things in it. Heck, she didn't even know what she was grabbing. With that, she headed off to the academy.
When she arrived, her friends were already there of course. Unknown to them, she had already survey the area. She measured the time of the day and which shadows would be closer. Which would be weaker and stronger as time goes by. The wind. Humidity in the air, everything. "Found why my ears have been burning." Shikane said as she dropped bunch of stuff by Chosuke. "Bought some things. Mostly protein." While Inoyuri spoiled Chosuke with junks and good food, Shikane wanted to make sure he keeps the protein intake up. That was very important. With a yawn, she sighed as she sat down on the academy ground and rubs back of the head. "Nap time!" She shouted as she falls back. Despite that, Shikane was listening and still alert. Inside the bag was different kind of protein bars, they had chocolate or peanut butter, or even both in it.

That was their Chosuke. Quick to help and even quicker to down a full course meal from her mother. She kept a hand on her mask to help steady it against her head. It had been quite a long time since they all had met. Sure their families took care of them and helped groom them into the next generation of Ina-Shika-Cho but it felt like much much longer. Yuri remembered the fate final day of school when the bullies that had tormented her so much had come up to her. She prepared herself for the usual spew of insults and other general depravities. To her surprise they apologized profusely. The apologized for their miserable manners and atrocious behavior and even offered to buy her lunch or walk her home. They had left as soon as they appeared and Inoyuri was so confused until it dawned on her much much later the events leading up to what had happened.
'I'm so lucky to have them as friends. I just wish I could do more...'
Behind the mask, Inoyuri would smile faintly at the memory. Chosuke was going to town with his meal and for good reason. Her mother had the finesse and hands of a god's personal chef. Even when she was little her mother was chopping with suck skill that it almost rivaled a machine. When she was behind the counter and it was dinner time, nobody would be leaving with an empty belly. Maybe it was the reason why when their parents and them got together she was in charge of food? Her mother certainly did appreciate Chosuke's able bodied appetite. "Glad I could help. We're a team, heh..." It was still so odd talking with him about that. Perhaps the feeling would fall away soon. It seemed like their Nara friend had yet to make an appearance. As usual it would seem. Still it just just more time for the both of them to talk. He commented about her mother's mastery of the culinary arts (she thought?) which left the poor academy student confused on how to even approach an answer.
"Ummm, thank you? I think."
Thankfully the sound of footsteps neared to help her take her mind away from such strangeness. Inoyuri spun around to find Shikane walked towards them with a bag of her own. Chosuke was reveling in quite the reward today. "Shikane! H-Hi." Inoyuri offered a wave while watching as in one motion, the Nara walked from the entrance to dropping off Chosuke's treat to falling by a shady place of solace for a nap. Curse her and her laziness. 'She literally just got here too!' Yuri held her arms on her sides while looking at the two in front of her. Why did she have to be the one to take the reigns of their group?
"We can't just nap now! We all just got here. Let's go practice jutsu and train. Like we planned on doing."
Yuri faced Shikane. "With NO nap time." Their team leader was a lazy loaf when things weren't serious but Inoyuri was the constant pushing factor to bring their training further. Shikane was lucky she had a cute face...

Still happily munching away on his bag of chips, Chosuke gave a wave upon the arrival of the final member of their trio upon her arrival. "Mornin' Shikane." he greeted her, though his words were somewhat muffled by the fistful of chips he had just shoved in his mouth. Unsurprisingly, the Nara girl almost immediately went into nap mode after her entrance and normally, Chosuke may have made a comment about her persistent laziness. However, Shikane had made the strategic move of presenting him with food when she had arrived, diverting his attention away from any of her further actions. Honestly though, who could blame him? With the smorgasbord laid out before him from the girls' combined gifts, how could he possibly think of anything else other than eating?
Unlike him, Inoyuri would not be so easily appeased and while Chosuke was busy stuffing his face, she had taken it upon herself to spur Shikane into action. It always surprised him a bit when Inoyuri did this. Normally shy and reserved, it seemed that she had no problem coming out of her shell when either himself or Shikane lost focus during training. He couldn't speak for Shikane, but personally, seeing the meek girl take a stance of authority always filled him with a sense of determination. As such, Chosuke set aside his bag of chips and hopped to his feet, taking a place next to Inoyuri. "Yeah! C'mon, Shikane! We've gotta get training if we're gonna be the best squad in the village!" he exclaimed, throwing both of his fists in the air with fiery determination.

"Your friends are right. Shikane was it? This is no place to be taking a nap. You may suffer from an unfortunate SOLE coming down upon you. bloobloobloo." The dad-joke was made in the sense the the Arashikage currently distracted had almost stepped on the girl but she was likely more than aware of his approaching footsteps. Toso was on his merry way towards his resteraunt before these three caught his eye. With one hand he carried an open book and with the other he brought it to his temple. Pressing the side of his glasses frames his lenses would light up with tiny blue screens in them. Unbeknownst to the trio as he looked over them he was checking their village dossier and registries.
"My, my still students are we? Then I'd say its most certainly no time to be napping bloop." Another touch of his temple and the glowing screens in the lenses vanished. This was the Arashikage, simultaneously loved and hated by the inhabitants of Arashigakure. The question was how these children felt about him assuming they even knew who he was. Nationalistic parents from the days back when Arashi was still attached to the ground typically had very little to say about the man aside unpleasantries or indifference. However, many who had decided to stay here on this floating village rather than leave five years ago thought him something of one of the worlds greatest innovators and a prospect of peace. The second has been true these five years at the very least.
The book Toso held in his hands didn't seem to have any title or at least not one that made any sense. The abyssal script. When he wasn't writing anything in it he'd scan the pages which were only filled with jargon trying to make sense of it. The current page contained a string of sentences along the lines of. 'Yellow clad. Incarnate King. Hellish limbs. To drive man mad. Wandering waste king does search. Finding Nothing. Forever. Nothing is found. The greatest treasure. All seek nothing. For nothing is forever.' of course if he closed the book and turned to the same page it would be completely different. It always was and the question of why and possibly who always made his mind wander.
Seeing as it did wander curious of what was on the next page, Toso would then move to a nearby bench that would oversee the students. Although, he was a distance away that 'pressure' that was exerted by authoritative figures was present. Toso himself, if the children were looking at him, would raise his head, smile, wave, look back, then continue reading. The next page. 'Darkest depths. The mind of man. A man's mind is forever dark unknowing. Ignorance keeps the man going. Ignorance. Bliss. Some things should never be known. To seek knowing invites only the opposite of bliss. Worse things there are. Than a blissless man.' Toso did need to head to tend to his business but so enamored was he in these texts and with a lack of rush did he remove a gift from the oni woman at the office. Removing the lid would he casually indulge in the bottle labeled 'water' that the woman had made into liquor having utterly forgotten the content of the bottle being anything but. Only after feeling the burn in his throat did he realize a talk to himself eyes finally leaving the book. "Ah...that's right. Well, I'm certain such a small indulgence shouldn't have any notable effects." he'd go back to reading. The bottle labeled 'water' still on the bench as he continued to be engrossed in his reading oblivious to his surroundings.

Ah. The nice cool earth ground felt good resting up against her back. She waited. She hoped her plan worked. They had recently graduated but Inoyuri would still hide her frustrations so Shikane was working on pulling that out. The real Inoyuri. Shikane could not help but to mentally smile as she heard Inoyuri mentioned that they can't nape now. Considering she had just got there, that was true but she was a little tired already. Shikane didn't respond as her eyelids remained closed but ever alert and watchful. Hopefully, Inoyuri would be strong and keep trying to persist Shikane to get up and train with her and Chosuke. It seemed that Chosuke had joined the rally as he called for her to get up to. Saying something about being the best squad. Shame. Chosuke doesn't get it yet. They are already the best squad.
They got each other.
Plan A went out of the window when she heard a voice. One eyelid shot open as she looked up and saw the Arashikage himself out and about. Of course her friends were right but her facial expression remained stoic as she showed no emotions. She wasn't sure what to think of him. Her mother raised hell and loud noises for weeks after what the Arashikage did, but her father and herself, they were quiet. They... weren't sure what to process and what was going on. Shikane sat up as she tilted slightly, trying to get the title of the book and there was nothing. Odd. The man himself sat down at a bench with a bottle that says water as Shikane sighed softly. Figures. She had a plan and someone came to ruin it.
That's why there's always plan B! Time for that. Hopped up to the ground, Shikane dusted herself, "A'right a'right, just keep ya shorts on." She muttered as she glanced towards her friends. Now it was time for Plan B. To increase Inoyuri's confidence and to tame Chosuke, have him be more aware of his surroundings. "Yuri-chan, whatcha to do first?" She asked as she had a stifled yawn.

She hated when they did this to her. Inoyuri wanted to just scream at yell at her apathetic a team of clan members. 'One is constantly eating and the other is always sleeping. Why am I the only serious one?...' Thankfully neither of her friends could see that frustrated frown behind her mother's mask. Her little motivational speech touched the heart one one person out of the two it was directed at as Chosuke hopped up and helped her try and rouse Shikane from her nap with some words of his own. Still it wasn't enough on its own. Trying to get her to do anything was like trying to move a boulder with their hands hands. Time for another dose of Inoyuri.
"We can nap when we're on lunch break. Right now we gotta go prove ourselves so we can become Genins and really start showing Arashi what we're made of! But we can't do it unless you...get up off your lazy Nara butt and help us."
Then a voice came from behind them. Inoyuri looked up just in time to make out the Arashikage! The Tentacled Terror! The Squid Savior! The Inky Imp! The Cephalopod Champion! himself! She had all of his ninja cards! Thank goodness he couldn't see that amazed look on her face just now. "Arashikage, s-sir! We, um, We were just training! Haha, right Shikane? Just doing our best to represent the village AND NOT FALL ASLEEP IN FRONT OF THE MOST IMPORTANT MAN IN OUR HOME." The second part was spoken through grit teeth and directed at Shikane who hopefully was now back on two feet again and not sleeping on the job. Through some miracle Shikane was up and at 'em for the next few minutes. Then it was up to her to figure out what they were going to do. "Um...Uh..." Crap! She was drawing a blank on this one! Inoyuri hadn't even managed get her mitts on a manual that would explain how to do everything she wanted to do. 'Think, Yuri, thiiiink...' Her eyes darted around. Chosuke, then Shikane who looked halfway asleep and then to the Arashikage...Hey, had that bottle of water always been there? Maybe Shikane would stay awake longer with it.
"You two go get warmed up. I'll get something for us to stay hydrated with."
She walked towards the Arashikage and then picked up the bottle of water. Pretty weird that a bottle of water would have the label of "water" on it. Beggers can't be choosers though. Yuri made her way back to her friends before handing the bottle over to Shikane. "You drink first. You look like you're going to fall asleep again."

"If the abyssal script only depicts what is written from a mind of concious thought...could there perhaps be a concious that emanates around us at all times? Is that what these are? Or is it gathering the concious thoughts of the individuals in my surroundings...no that can't be..." Toso was so thoroughly perplexed he hadn't realized the bottle of water had been kiped. More over he'd stand having utterly forgotten he had removed it from his person entirely. He'd stand with a finger on his chin as he began to walk towards his resteraunt having just remembered what it was he supposed to be doing. However, his eyes were still fixated on the text like how modern day tweens across the 4th wall looked at their cell phones.
Toso would leave the area. The bottle would remain in the hands of wayward youths that didn't know any better. Truth be told twas an accident waiting to happen. Toso would thusly exit the academy grounds oblivious as he tended to be. Hopefully, this little fumble wouldn't come back to bite him later. ~exit

The Arashikage's arrival was certainly an unexpected one. Chosuke definitely didn't think he'd run into the village leader at the academy of all places. He would have imagined the man had important matters to attend to and yet, here he was, casually conversing with a group of kids and relaxing on a bench with a book. Perhaps this is what his parents had meant when they described the man as "odd". That's all they ever said about their leader. They never condemned or praised his actions, always just "odd".
Still, strange as it may have seemed, Chosuke was thankful that he had spoken into the matter, as the man's words seemed to the final push Shikane needed to begrudgingly get up off her butt. Heading Inoyuri's instructions to warm up, Chosuke gave the girl a playful salute. "Yes, ma'am!" he called to her as she walked away. He then began vigorously doing jumping-jacks as a means of stretching his limbs and getting in a bit of cardio. "C'mon, Shikane! Get that blood pumping!" he exclaimed with a wide grin. He knew that there was little chance the Nara would actually join him but he wanted to include her nonetheless.
When Inoyuri returned, she had with her a bottle labeled "water", which she offered to Shikane. "Oooo! Let me get some of that once you two are done!" he told them as he continued doing his jumping-jacks. When it came to sharing food between the three of them, it was always best to let the girls go first, as he didn't always have the best sense of self-control.

The masked sword wielder walked unannounced. They read the scrolls they needed and departed. It was worthwhile information, but nothing consequential. They just needed to learn the true extent of their power.

Shikane glances towards Chosuke and gave him a small smile as she looked back towards Inoyuri as she legit took something from the Arashikage. Her eyebrow rose when the man didn't seem to noticed, muttered few odd things and left. She was handed the bottle by her pink haired friend as she shook her head, "Inoyuri-chan, we do not be goin' round and takin' things that ain't ours." She explained but when the bottle was closer, her nose burns. What the?! With that, she snatched the bottle, took one sniff, and cringed as she straighten her arm out to avoid the smell,"Ugh! It ain't water! It be alcohol!" She would recognize that kind of smell anywhere. What the heck would the Arashikage be doing with alcohol and why did he bring it on campus? Her nose was still burning from the sniff. With a soft scowl,"I gonna be takin' it to Principal office later."She explained as she walked over and set it down for the time being by the door so she could remember to take it to the principal office. It's also set on a shaded area. With that, she walked back and dusted her hands as she waited to see if Inoyuri can take charge.

Chosuke appeared parched and he was just about to let some of that divine water reach his lips until Shikane revealed a revelation about the so called "water". "Alcohol?" Her head dipped down near the mouth piece to sniff as the bottle. A strong, hopsy scent greeted her with as much care as a punch to the face. Yuri reeled back while holding her nose and coughing at the scent of the drink. "It smells awful...Sorry for almost poisoning you, Shikane. I thought it was actually water." In her defense, the limited knowledge she had in this world made it seem like a label of water on an unmarked bottle of clear liquid would be...well, water. Had Shikane drank some of it she was immediately going to have it all be blamed on the Yamanaka. A heavy feeling hit the heart of Inoyuri. She wanted to just go back home and cry and never come out of the bed covers again. 'Some leader I am...' Inoyuri remained silent while adjusting her mask again so it wouldn't fall. One day, she'd grow into this thing so it would stop almost falling to the ground. After a bit of
"Um, ok. So let's start simple and go over the academy techniques to start off from there."
Inoyuri looked at the two of them and hoped that they'd go first but it looked to be one of those situations they kept putting her through. Chosuke especially wished to break her out of that shell and always seemed to boisterously explode with glee when she managed to do even the most mediocre of steps towards that penultimate goal of being more social-able. 'Guess I'm leading the charge then.'
She began the lesson by going inside towards the scroll library and taking out a bunch of scrolls without checking for identification or anything. They were in the academy student section so they totally were perfect for them, right? Inoyuri opened the basic Maruton scroll and revealed the five techniques that were universal to every ninja. The Kai technique was first and most simple. One hand sign and a flicker of chakra to wash whatever genjutsu or what have you away. She performed it a few times just to make sure the others were understanding and then moved onto Henge no Jutsu. She demonstrated it by transforming into Chosuke, then Shikane, then a rock before coming back to who she was.
The next technique was the clone technique. This didn't take long until there were multiple versions of Inoyuri about. Of course she could control all of them so they wouldn't go off about apologizing to Chosuke and Shikane about everything and begging them to forgive her. She cleared all but one and then used the remaining clone to strike out against her. Right before the attack landed, Inoyuri disappeared. One of the academy training dummies stood in her place. The leader of the bunch hopped back over to her friends.
The last few techniques were the jutsu used to travel across different surfaces. The first of the two was the wall walking technique. Inoyuri demonstrated for Chosuke and Shikane by bringing the chakra to her feet and walking up the side of the academy. It took about a few dozen tries while her back hit the ground numerous times until she managed to get the hang of it. The other technique was fairly similar but without a body of water around, there was little they could do.
"Ok. Let's take a breather. How's everybody doing?"
