Welcome to Gaia! ::

dmg to guard #1

29's eyes lit up like a pair of flashlights as she stood in awe of the gore before her, her face blushing with admiration as with a sudden shifting and squishing of flesh, the girl seemed to be obscured by a brief cocoon of chakra, causing the other students to jump in surprise, before the chakra cleared away to reveal the girl's true form.




The little monster's true form shifted from a 14 year old rather plain looking girl, to a smaller, far more standoffish figure, complete with a rather prominent pair of horns, and tiny bat wings that didn't really appear as though they would be much use for flying. She might have been a girl in costume...if the feature's were not very very real."That was SO COOL big bro or sis!" she observed, not able to recognize the gender from the other side of their henge. "You like, totally killed them and stuff! 29's never seen anything so F***ing AWESOME!! F***!!" she then seemed to realize. "U-uh...oh, Doctor Mom says not to use those words..." she struck a different pose, trying to appear nonchalant. "What 29 meant to say was that was very lovely!" she nodded eagerly, before she began kicking the guards body while they were down joyfully. "HA! Stupid traitor knave! That's what pathetic little serf's get for defying big bro's and sis's. 29 only wishes she had the time to peel your skin off and set you on fire!!" she then adapted a sweet little smile towards the twins. "29 is ready to serve however she can big bro or sis!" striking a hand sign as in a puff of smoke she took the form of the guard she had been pummeling...it didn't look all that convincing, there was no way it could fool a shinobi of any variety, but it could probably fool a normal civilian. The Mazakou were famed more for their ability to destroy things than their talent for...finesse.


Amuro walked forward with a admiring smile as well now that someone half way competent was here. Finally...a chance to fight back...even if it was only by escaping from under their nose. "I'll try as best as I can." the young man answered, assuming that he was "grumpy" as he too used the henge, assuming the form of the other guard. "But..." he looked annoyed at the boy with the goggles. "That kid there...there's no way that idiot knows the henge..."



Takaya was sitting back away from the bars, having scooted away horrified when the two guards fell dead. He was shaking in alarm. They'd died...just like that. It had all happened so fast. The guards...the people here...they'd been...they'd not been so bad. They'd talk to him through the bars sometimes, and that last lady had been the nicest of all...but...just like that...they were... he had wanted to go home. But...but...he hadn't wanted to KILL these people... he hadn't wanted them dead. They were still people of Oto weren't they...? Did they have to die...?



Aeaka stood having been snapped out of her chocolate haze, and from the looks of it had shamefully hidden it in the folds of her robes clearing her throat as though trying to play it off. "A-ah...good. Cousin sent someone for me then. Finally." she held her hands in front of her, effortlessly adapting the face of another guard the twins had not yet seen in a swift henge. It seemed a rather fine replication indeed. She would effortlessly pass inspection by even other shinobi, lest they be particularly insightful. It would easily pass by the guards inspection. "I am shall follow your lead then, Shinobi-san." she stated speaking formally. "I commend you on your dispacthment of these pathetic inferiors..." she gave a wave of her hand as though regally giving them her blessing. She turned to Takaya. "However, Amuro-kun is right. Takaya-san is not capapble of the henge...he is weak." she stated this as a mere fact. "Alas is it the nature of we Otobe to shepard the weak under our charge..." she turned to 29. "So you are a Mazakou then...you should have said something...I thought you just terribly odd."

29, now in a henge merely turned a smiled. "29 was told not to reveal her identity till she fulfilled her mission, but she couldn't do that, so she had to stay incog...incogfrito...ico- in disguise, until another shinobi arrived to save us, in which case the mission was to be considered abor- ab- canceled." she finally settled on. "A-and don't go saying I'm stupid!! I'm not like those other Mazakou! I'm wearing glasses! That means I'm smart!" she explained looking self important, as though this was undeniable.

Aeaka sweat slightly. "Ah...yes...but..wait...what mission...?"

"29 is not allowed to say that."

Aeaka seemed to accept this. "Ah, of course. It must be something of high level secrecy, pardon, Mazakou-san."

"Awwww!" 29 put her hands together lovingly. "29 is so glad she couldn't finish her mission big sis! You're a super nice gal and s***...er, a very pleasant young lady."

Aeaka tilted her head slightly. "What is that supposed to mean?"

Amuro rolled his eyes ignoring them. "ANYway, what are we supposed to do about THIS idiot?" he pointed to Takaya.

29

Aeaka
Craft check:10+18 (Henge INT times 2, +4) 32

Aeaka gave a slight nod of her head. "Very well, Shinobi-san." she turned round towards the shivering Takaya, who was looking at the locket absently as she stood over him imperiously. "Takaya-kun. Stand up. You will learn this technique...do you understand...?"



The boy still seemed shaken even still, but slowly got to his feet.




29, still in her rather simplistic henge, followed closely behind this new super cool big sibling, looking rather zealous at the prospect of "smashing" the enemy as soon as things turned hostile. Now THOSE were the kid of orders that she could really get into. She'd been wanting to tear into these insolent knaves since she GOT here...and now she'd finally get a chance to make them beg, suffer, and die all in the name of proving that SHE was the superior super weapon of the hidden sound! This day had taken a total turn around into AWESOME. "29 will follow you anywhere big bro or sis, think of her as your personal tool! You can do whatever you want with her!"

Amuro twitched slightly. At least it was less awkward now that he knew that she was actually a monster...but when she'd been talking like that in a human form of a girl a little older than him...it had been...SO very awkward. "Alright." he affirmed also falling into formation alongside the twins. "I'll do whatever I can, your lead, sir." Having no real reason to assume that the one behind the convincing henge wasn't a man.



As you head back out into the hall way, it's still remotely quiet...the office door still have voices from the other side...

< right back down the corridor...

< Through the door into the office...

((Reaction: You listen closely at the door, and even before entering, you hear the source of the voices... and feel a slight chill up your spine... there is danger in the ahead...



"-ut is that wise...? There's no telling what he may do if indeed he meets a fellow member of his clan. He will likely go outside the mission parameters and jeopardize his assignment...we cannot afford to botch Project Odin at this stage."



"I agree with Hanza...there's not telling what Mystagon may do from what we've learned of his past. At the very least I would be shocked if he did not attempt to sway his fellow clansman from their path as a pawn. If this interferes with his mission, I have little confidence that HE will be able to pick up Mystagon's slack. He's already failed us once."





A deeper voice, more commanding and firm, breaks through the room. "Hn...You forget yourselves..."


"Ah," the first voice seemed to remember. "Pardon, Ring Master. We refer to the strong man, of course."

The woman seemed rather stern regardless. "And our knife thrower."

The "Ring Master" gave a gruff "Hn." before continuing. "All these are matters to be discussed at the meeting...but if you must know, The current Project Odin has been put on hold regardless of how things transpire...the important thing with Odin was the research...whether it COULD be done. So long as they retrieve successful test data, it's already a net gain."

"On hold?" the unicycle riding woman inquired. "But why?"

"The employers goal is leaving Mist. They'll be placed right out in the open...stopping traffic between Yuu and Mist is pointless. Our orders on the job have therefore been altered."

"To...?"

"....A Retrieval."

"I see..." there was a period of silence. "But will the target not be with a high level Ninja...?"

"...Casualties are acceptable."

"Ring Master." both voices sounded in chorus.

"Now...come along. The bearded lady and the Clown should be here soon."



((You hear another door opening ahead... and silence. As you open the door, though you still believe someone to be beyond the opposing door, the office is empty...

You may choose to make another roll to search it... or leave through either door.))

((That was you listening through the door, one for listening, one for searching.))


(( Reaction: The desk that resides her is covered with vital documentation and reports about this rebel organization, it might take some brains to decipher all the connections and meanings that might be drawn from the documents, but merely copying them all down shouldn't be too difficult to for an adequate forger, though it might take some time, less with assistance. The documents seem to encompass most all this rebel sect's dealings however, and even the smallest detail might lead to the most vital discoveries. While your mission only requires that you retrieve the locations of the other bases, the more information you are able to collect, the better, though you are unsure as to how much time you have...

May make checks equal to attack turns per post.
Craft DC: 10

Alternate base locations: /5

Other vital Documents /10

All documents: /15



Through keen examination, not only are you sure you've manage to uncover all the documentation, but you are also able to uncover a secret compartment in the desk, from which you pull...hm, interesting, it seems to be another of the odd stone figures that you retrieved from the storage room, though this one is black, and contains several odd nitchs on the bottom that separate it from the others...))

Alternate base locations: 5/5
Other vital Documents 8/10
4, 11, 10, 9, 2, 8

Masumi finished the last of the locations and began to work on the important documents. She shoved the notebook with the locations into her pack along with the black statue key thingy. Then she wrote in Emi's notebook on the opposite page, merging with her sister, but with both heads out as well as both sets of arms. This was how they used to do homework back when they couldn't stay separated for long periods of time.
Emi began writing down more information, everything was fine until the sudden merger with her sister that made her ruin an entire page as her arm was forced over to the left side of the body. She waited for Masumi to get done and turn the page before setting to work on the next set of notes.

((Reaction:

You manage to copy down the documents and the various information contained here.


You manage to booby trap the door to the office with an exploding tag.


Your don't hear anything beyond the door...save perhaps the sound of the voices, but they are rather far off. You would imagine the hallway beyond his vacant...for now.


You remain undetected as far as you can tell.))
