Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Hmmm? Well well, Miss Acrobat, fancy meeting you here! It's just so lovely when we get this chance to meet up." There was a thin lanky man with a... bizarre twist to the front of his hair and what appeared to be a clown nose strapped to the front of his face...though he seemed to remove it with a mere trick of sleight of hand upon seeing Miss Acrobat come rolling up to her. "And Oh ho! The unicycle today! A excellent choice if I may say so my dear! Everyone knows that someone is more important when they're on a Unicycle!!"




"OOOOOhohoho!" Said the...girl...? Boy...? Young ma....young woma....it's rather difficult to tell actually, the young person, or is standing rather pompously next to the lanky man gives off a rather unimpressed haughty laugh. "Ho! Honesty dear Miss Acrobat, you should know Mister clown has such a poor sense of direction, and it's my own first time here. I suppose I understand. These rebels have most likely got you at wits end hm? The lot I was put in charge in kept forgetting to call me "miss". Can you imagine? And since when do YOU need the boss to order us around hm Miss Acrobat? Feeling insecure today are we? OOOohoohohohoho! "


Mister Clown seemed to wave off his associate's words. "PFFFT, big words for someone not on a unicycle!!" he gave an almost hungry smile at the rebels that were accompanying their dear friend. "Oh, and you're showing the pathetic little rebels what's what eh Miss Acrobat? Truly that motherly instinct of yours really needs to curb itself every once and a while. It's one thing that you go ga ga all over children, but really, just because those fools have the brains of children, I don't think it counts. BUAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!" he wiped a tear from under his glasses. "Still, I have to admit I'm a little surprised you didn't let them out yourself... I suppose your admiration for the Ring Master outlasts those instincts of yours after all." he gave a little wave. "Well, whatever. Thank you kindly for the directions. Come on now miss Bearded lady, let's leave our good associate her space to calm down...she's clearly feeling out of sorts. Ehehehehehe..." there seemed to be an odd flash in his eye as he rounded about and headed back down along the hallway, walking very...oddly...

"Yes, of course." The Genderly in-determinant figure beside him agreed. "Thank you kindly for the directions Miss Acrobat. We'll see you at the meeting, then." the two headed off down the appointed way towards the meeting room. They seemed to mutter something to one another as they pass out sight around the corner, and both give out their mutually strange laughter...


The hall is now empty.

For the lulz.

9+ = pass

Teaching the retard Henge:
4/10

Aeaka looked a little discouraged, shaking her head. "No...I'm sorry." she looked slightly frustratingly down at the boy. "He doesn't seem to be very adept at Jutsu... I suspect that he's probably not the most advanced student at the academy..." she looked to the shinobi in question, a little impressed with her henge...it was flawless. "Is there some other way we could move him out of here? I heard them talking about shipping crates for weapons...could we move him in one of those? Or...perhaps the way they brought us in? In sacks...?"




29 still in her henge, raised a hand in from the hall way nearby "29 can just take her normal form and distract those stupid people up top! She'll beat em up while you guys escape and then meet up with you later if you want!"

29 looked absolutely ecstatic. This was her kind of assignment! They might even get the chance to take on all these ungrateful knaves too! This was seriously turning about to be an AWESOME day. AWESOME. She followed along behind her chosen twin, henged or otherwise, ready to obey the slightest order. She for one was almost HOPING that they got caught. That would mean a chance to fight, and a chance to fight meant proving herself as a proper weapon! This was going to be SO cool!




Aeaka regally followed behind the sister she had been appointed too, stil marveling at the skill which they performed their henges. One seemed nearly flawless. It was amazing. She realized that she still, despite her elite status, had much to learn before she was going to be able live up to Cousin Orikami's ideal of an "true Oto Ninja" ... she was more than willing to learn though, following behind the assigned soldier as she went to scout ahead...she hoped that they knew where they were going...she herself had been unconscious when she had been brought down...at the very least her senses allowed her some manner of forewarning.



((You are outside in the hall way, which way will you go...?))

((You manage to pass down the hall and split up at the intersection without trouble, your path above, and to the store room unhindered. They key that you retrieved for the cell doesn't work for the door leading above, but with the door broken, you are able to get it open unhindered. The village still seems to be in a bit of chaos. Somehow, though you have a very certain idea how, the rebels entire weapons shipment has been stolen. You worry this might compromise your mission, only to quick overhear that the villagers are fully aware of who took it, and are certain they were not affiliated with the village. Rather, shouting and hastened actions seem to indicate that in addition to searching for the missing child that was never really there, they're trying to track down the notorious phantom thief Phantom... it seemed that rather than using you as a decoy, he elected to become on himself. This may have been his intention the whole while...

In the store room there is an abundance of sacks which could be used to store the child. These may indeed have been the same one's they were brought in...))

As you run towards the top of the stairs, you think that you hear a commotion in the direction towards the stair way, but you are up and out into the open air before it becomes pertinent, the village still heavily distracted, they pay you no mind beyond a glance at your disguises few of them stopping to scrutinize you, and those that do not able to see passed your disguise. Amidst the chaos you have a clear run to the outskirts of the village... this is your last chance it would seem to turn back should you choose...

You manage to slip out passed the borders of the village, able to get the kids around the traps, long before the rebels are able to notice the children's absence, due to your previous actions of misdirection, and rerouting their patrols down below. the dispatching of the guards around the cell was done in a manner that the rebels believed it was the students themselves who were the cause of their own escape, and the missing key's down below were, for some reason, not reported... You manage to clear the village and are now far ahead of any pursuers they might send after you, seeing as you heading towards Otogakure itself, it is unlikely they will be bold enough to pursue. Your travel time back to Oto will be the same coming as going, though it will be added to your Mission literary bonus.

You are unsure what became of Phantom, and were not able to analyze the documents common thread, (as of yet). Whoever is behind Shi no Sukasu's involvement, and the funding behind the rebels, is still a mystery....

There is also the matter of just what the Circus was discussing in their meeting, all of the members, save three, seemed to have been in attendance, while you managed to get a glimpse of what they might have been discussing, as well as information regarding something called "Project Odin" you were unable to learn more about it. You also learned that they may be planning an operation soon to lay hands on a particular target that at the moment resides in Kiri... though as to what, you are unsure.


You managed to save all the students, and did not allow their personal sympathies to prevent their retrieval. No harm came to the Otobe heir during the mission.


You were able to retrieve all the documentation at the base without leaving evidence behind that it was compromised, in addition to learning the locations of the other abducted children, you may also be able to learn even more about the rebel's movements...

Over all the mission would be regarded a shining success.
