Wine red light illuminated Coello's body as he entered the bar. Starchy cloth, the only form door that the building possessed, threw aside to reveal a number of patrons inside. Alchohol passed freely through the hands of bodies lost in euphoric dance. A bright flush pink, Coello could feel himself stand out under the low ambiance. He ignored the heat that crept up his skin and quickly moved to take a seat.
A booth, nestled in a corner near the dance floor, provided the perfect sanctuary. The wood was plenty weathered, with countless names engraved along the surface of the table. Coello let the distractions consume him until the waitress arrived, pen in hand.
"What can I getcha?"
"Uhm. I will take the... just the water?"
Ribbons of blonde hair bounced back and forth: his only confirmation his order was taken at all before the woman rushed off. Pink eyes stared through the space where she had stood, before his lids fell halfway closed. Slowly, Coello turned away, his back more pressed into the wall that closed off one half of the booth.

ooc: This is just a post of a couple medic missions. Nothing important.
Something possessed her to forgo the way of getting medical care in the hospital. Instead, some force compelled her to do something right by herself? The real, angry, and bloodied Sadayo needed a moment of self fulfillment, yeah? She ended up taking all three of her puppets and stomped away from the ruin of the administration building. She left behind one clone. Telling some few where to find her. Her kits were long restocked and ready. Despite being oversized storage bins, inches from looking like duffle bags, the two aid kits Sadayo carried were the second most important things compacted in her possessions. Sadayo was a conventional, unextraordinary medic despite whatever trade it was she claimed to focus on. The woman prided herself on her preparedness for most emergency scenarios and was so, just enough, that she didn't need to fuss with giving the hospital more work at this crucial window in time. [MEDIC Career Mission x1 Rank E]
She stood over the basin of a small sink in a tidied washroom at home. The mirror across from Sadayo put her arm on display. A red streak curving along the side of her arm where the Jashinsts struck her was plenty to be stuck sneering at in the glass. Adrenaline, back then, didn't give him the satisfaction of seeing Sadayo's pain and how infuriating it was to see yellow silk dabbing in rustic ruby reds. Sadayo scoffed and huffed with her inspection. The cape, soaked from a brief bath in the sink, was hung behind her. The sleeve of her white shirt, now dyed pepper red and torn, was cast to the floor. [MEDIC Career Mission x1 Rank E]
"Can't do anything without…" The scathing sentiment was bit off under her breath. It wasn't until after getting home that she bothered to see the wound. Granted, Sadayo didn't delay after talking with Shikari nor wait around to be greeted, upset, and worry her family. As much as the destruction was driving her to turn to her parents, the dread of answering dozens of various Sadayo-related and village-related questions steered her clear of them. Although she couldn't avoid everyone. All the stealth in the world couldn't stop the clicking of door locks and ultimately alarm one with sharp hearing. The slightest nuances in trying to hide couldn't escape the little Azami. Just what went into the making of one wild child crossed Sadayo’s thoughts from time to time.
What gave away a snooping child were her stifled, breathy sounds hissing through the cracks of the door as she apparently crawled onto the floor. Sounds that even caught an uneasy Sadayo off guard, from the otherside of the door, as she was trying to clean dried smears and runny dribbles of blood off her elbow. Her sights jerked to the floor when a little voice squeaked. "Mommy? When are you coming out?" Ignoring Azami often felt like an iron weight throwing themselves on Sadayo’s shoulders. Pressing her lip tightly shut didn't last. "I'll be several minutes," she soothed, as she dabbed a cloth on her wound. Sadayo and her reflection were carefree to wince and gripe at each other. Everything stung. It was probably luck that the wound wasn't as bad as it could have been. She could still sit upright, see sufficiently, and her hearing wasn't being flooded with disorienting, gushing static. [MEDIC Career Mission x1 Rank D] The little voice was clear as it replied but sounded dull and satisfied. "Oh." Was that the last of it? Children could ask the most striking or most simple of questions and still get away with giving the most simplest of answers. Often, something as plain as O-K could mark the end or the beginning of more questions. Either way, the satisfied reply was better than an alternative that could be something like Azami trying to get her way with growling and scratching her nails on the door.
Sadayo carried on. With luck Azami was finished with questions and might just roll away from the door. If the little girl found something else to win her attention then she’d miss the shrill of tap water blasting in the sink. Puppet hands had to be washed too. That’s right. Puppet hands. Suetsune was hovering over the sink basin beside Sadayo. All this time, he had been standing behind with his hair hanging over his face; he was looking far too relaxed for being an awkward sink room buddy. Now, he was being outfitted to play doctor on his master's injury. The fluidity of bending fingers and cleaning in the crevices was a chore she wasted time just to reserve chakra and have the promise of a steady hand. Sewing sutures usually wasn't so bad.[MEDIC Career Mission x1 Rank D] The faucet squeaked as she closed off the water; metal wasn't the only matter to squeak up. "Are you done? Are you all done with work today?" Azami asked as a procession of sounds came to follow. A long zipper. Sounds of paper rustling, fabrics rubbing together and then silence. "Mom!" The child’s chipper call was loud for Sadayo’s attention through the door. ”Give me just a little bit longer.."[MEDIC Career Mission x1 Rank E]
If i understood my reading, then I'm right in sharing that numbing agents come in gels. Not like numbing gels for lips. Slightly different, I guess, since lips are super sensitive. What I'm talking about are numbing gels for subcutaneous application. Your skin![MEDIC Career Mission x1 Rank E] Medical professionals, even those like Sadayo, don't have to inject patients with numbing agents anymore. A suture is the same as a stitch: A body safe thread that has a small, sharp end designed to gently pierce the skin. Tools required, also found in the recesses of Sadayo's aid kit, include tweezers, something to clamp the suture with, and scissors. You read my medical ramblings. Good for you. Sadayo is supposed to know about this stuff too. She's really supposed to know a lot more than me, the writer, and be pretty OK at fixing people.[MEDIC Career Mission x1 Rank D] Give me my Sadayo medic mission - she's supposed to be tying her wound up. Suetsune's playing doctor. Azami, meanwhile, found something exciting about a "little" injury. "I wanna see it!" An injury probably meant an exciting story. The numbing gel left Sadayo with a wild sensation along with the puppet's guided sewing, "There's nothing to se-e, baby. It's a cut and it's all fixed now." She explained as the clatter of a door lock unlocking quickly coaxed Azami to her feet. [MEDIC Career Mission x1 Rank E] The child's tiny hands scrambled to be beat Sadayo at a game of opening the door and hop-hop-hop on her toes as she crossed the threshold. Sadayo had finished tidying up the mess of paper bits and had moved on to sorting what few tools she used for cleaning. Azami squeezed herself past Sadayo hip with her sights set on first aid kit. Open wide.
The kit itself was shorter than the child, eye-catchingly colored, and loaded with an assortment of medical goodies the little girl could probably go on all afternoon with questions about. Is that your doctor stuff?" The question was endearing. A matter of mixing up titles didn't fail to make the woman smile. "Yes,” Sadayo replied as she passed a glance in the child’s direction. `“That's my doctor stuff. That's right."[MEDIC Career Mission x1 Rank E] She anticipated questions to follow but Azami's attention passed over the kit. It was already old news. The where’s and whys of more pressing, more interesting matters suddenly more important, "where’d you get hurt at?" The question attention carefully switched to her mother for any slightest trace of something new on her sallow, fair skin. "Right there. See? It's not so bad,” the woman took a knee by her kit and points at the repair work above her elbow: a fine blue thread, criss-crossing a clean, pink wound. “I used tiny little tweezers and a special clamp to put in a special string in that's made for making cuts all better." The finished work felt better to show off. Outside of little scrapes and bruises, hiding her wounds usually felt like the best thing to do. Why should a young child see their parent in every moment of weakness? Wouldn’t it create worry? Maybe gradually revealing that pain was OK to see and feel was all fine but Azami plainly just wasn’t used to seeing weakness in her parents. Profession, on its own, set that bar a little high. "Did it hurt?" Worry and wonder wove together. "Nope! Medicine makes it not hurt."[MEDIC Career Mission x1 Rank E]
Together, divinity and extraordinary circumstances raised the standard to near impossible levels. The correct answer on showing vulnerability to her own child didn't come easy. It was easier to brush off her injuries when facing just about everyone else! Azami, in all of her wide-eyed wonder, traced the injury with her finger and the shallow throes of pain were truly, practically nothing. "I think a cut is better than a burn, ” Azami said, skewing her mouth into a disgruntled frown. "Maybe. I don’t like any of them. This one doesn't look so bad, at least. Right?" No mended cut, to date, could seem to compare to the burns that have finally faded. A cut on the arm wasn't going to shoo the tiny rage away at first sight “Yeah. But I wish you got better fast like Daddy." The man was a distinguishing example of invincibility who was unlikely to turn up with bruises and reddened wounds to his Azami. He unwittingly set the standard of invulnerability higher for Sadayo."Yeah. Me too." she soothed thoughtfully before turning away, finally, to finish cleaning and leave the washroom. Azami scampered back into the hallway and stepped to the side of Sadayo’s path. “But are you all done with work today?” Such a hopeful question that came in an equally hopeful sound as the little girl reapproached lightly on the tip of her toes. Even the look in Azami's big bright eyes were hopeful. The stare, from something so small, looking up at Sadayo was feeling like the heaviest weight capable of crumbling her clone. The sound of defeat, however welcome and warm, carried in her reply, "I came home to take a break for a while and see you." To follow was an all around sweeter sentiment than feeling little fingers pinch and scratch out frustrations against Sadayo. The tiny rage threw her arms around her mother's waist and held there. If a hug could melt a week's worth of fighting and fuss this one would be the ticket.
Himitsu appeared suddenly in the center of bedroom, standing atop the seal he'd placed there weeks ago. Immediately he knew something was wrong. Just barely dodging the blade swung at his neck from behind, Himitsu realized how much he actually missed Matabi's presence in his mind. Sure his sage sensory could alert him to lethal intent, but that did him no good if he didn't actually notice it. Matatabi had nothing better to do than listen to it, and had formed a habit of actually calling out when it pinged something. Without her right there, it was like he was fresh from the mountain again.
The scythe quickly redirected back to him, this time swinging low to take out his legs. In a flash Himitsu unleashed his windmill shuriken, partially opening then shutting the blades on the other weapons handle. When the reaper blade bounced up into the air, Himitsu snatched it up with his open hand and twirled around, launching at his attacker's head. The solid thudding of a corpse on wood told him he'd hit. It also told everyone downstairs.
In the quiet following the kill, Himitsu heard muffled voices coming from below. Now keen to the threat, Himitsu read his sage senses closely. There were two more below, and a source of kinder energy. His heartrate jumped as the situation pieced itself together. An actual look over his attacker in the faded light of the room suggested these invaders were the same he'd come to warn the kage of. They'd made plenty of mistakes by involving Konoha in their psychotic plans, but now theyd made a fatal error invading the Uchiha's home.
Rage boiled up inside him, and he could feel his demon's chakra simmering just under his skin, conditioned to erupt whenever his physiology settled in to such a state. Just because Matatabi wasn't there consciously, she very much still inhabited his being. With his newfound restraint however, the chakra remained in place below the surface, scratching at his flesh and warming him from inside. When the bedroom door swung open and the Jahinist glanced inside, he found only the dark room until Himitsu opened his eyes to reveal his spinning Sharingan. The cultist stood no chance, dropping to the floor with his eyes glazed over as he wandered the dark tunnels of Himi's genjutsu. Himitsu stepped over the man, but dragged his Windmill shuriken over the man's neck as he did so, leaving four deep slashes through his neck. He'd bleed out before Himitsu even made it to the bottom of the stairs.
As Himitsu finished his descent, a voice called out from the adjacent room. "You're here. Finally." Himi turned to find a man standing behind a wimpering, kneeling figure, her hair wrapped around his fist. The sight sent a chill through the boy's body, and he forced himself to freeze. Trembling with rage, he spoke slowly. "Let her go now, and this can all stop right here." The cultists gave an almost apologetic smile and shook his head, his eyes clearly diverted away from Himitsu's. "I'm afraid it can't. I need something you have, and it's much easier to get without you in the equation. Especially since it tends to be so easy to remove you people." For a second the man's words confused Himitsu, but he remembered the state he'd found Matatabi in, and things began falling into place. When it clicked, Himitsu's eyes widened and he lurched forward.
Himitsu's years of shinobi training, months of sagehood, and mastery of demon chakra had all lead up to defining moments such at this. But he'd been at a disadvantage from the start. In the second it took Himitsu to cover the distance, it took the man a fraction of that to move his arm across his own body.
"GAAAAAAAAAAHH!" Himitsu thudded to the ground, the man's kunai buried through the boy's palm, pinning it to his mother's neck. The Jashinist released the kunai and jumped back, staring and waiting eagerly from the chaos he expected to ensue. Himitsu looked at his hand, and processed what had happened.
He was injured. He had failed. He had let his mother die. And the last she'd heard from him was in a pathetic note.
As he stared in grief at his limp mother, Matabi's chakra leaked from his pores and swirled around thinly over his arms. A soft blue glow dimly illuminated the room as the demon's energy sought permission to surge through him. The pair had made an agreement, and the chakra respected it even without the demon's full attention to govern it wholly. It swirled and flared, but remained tamed and close to the host's body. Ragged, uneven breaths struggled to flow to and from the Uchiha's lungs as he fought to contain himself.
Tears welled in his eyes, but only a few fell before they thickened and darkened, sticking to his skin as the crept down. Chakra exploded through his eyes and flooded them with power. They burned inside, itching to release the energy contained within. His head felt almost dizzy, as if being pulled in two different places at once. Himitsu closed his eyes and stifled sobs, relying on subconcious sensory to warn him ahen another attack came.
After a moment, none came. His breathing smoothed but quickened as his emotions came to a peak. It was time to kill a god.
Himi's blood-shadowed eyes opened to reveal a flowery pattern unlike the three tomoe that spun there before. His voice drifted quietly across the silent house, barely louder than a whisper. "Look at me." The man shook his head, apparently still watching for the moment he'd anticipated. "I'm no fool, your eyes-" The Uchiha snapped back immediately. "You are a fool! You're dead already, but I need you to do something."
The man's stance shifted, put off by the exchange. Why wasn't this jinchuuriki turning? Why hadn't the beast taken its chance to escape? He opened his mouth to speak, but Himitsu spoke first. "Go. Warn your god. We're coming." Deciding now was the time to adjust his plans, the Jashinist stepped back and reached back for his scythe. His hand barely passed his shoulder before the kunai that'd killed Himitsu's mother slid through his neck, far less clean than the experienced murderer had done to the innocent woman. The cultist's hands jerked to his throat and clawed at the sides, attempting to dislodge the knife but finding no purchase. He fell back, grunting and gurgling as he died slowly.
Himitsu stood over him and watched quietly, bloody tears still dripping. As the man's movements slowed and his eyes began to dull, Himitsu crouched low and spoke softly to the dying man. "Tell him how it feels to die." The man's eyes widened and tears rolled from them as he processed the statement, the last thing he'd hear before finally going still.
With the threat eliminated, and his mother gone, Himitsu stood in silence for a moment, looking around the blood soaked room. Each and every drop of blood stood out to him with his new eyes, bright red markers of his failure dotting his home. Unable to bear it any longer he turned and left the house, leaving the front door hanging wide open, his blood dripping from the interior handle.
Himitsu wandered slowly toward the gates of Konoha, making no attempt to so much as slow the blood leaking from his hand. Between the blood dripping from and covering him and his strange armor, attention was surely drawn to him but he seemed oblivious to it. One goal flashed through his mind like lightning over and over again, "Destroy Jashin."

ooc: Again. Nothing important. Regular posting to resume shortly.
“Remember where to start? Hold your hand on the neck like this, here,” and as she was told, Azami copied the instructions. “There.” It wasn’t puppetry. Azami sat among Sadayo and Seina’s company and had eagerly invested her bright eyed interest in showing Sadayo how she learned something new. PLUNG! A first warbled note sung from a stretched colored string. Five years might have been too small to begin learning the shamisen. Granted, five years didn’t steer Azami away from the shamisen and an undying love for the strings didn’t stop her aunt Seina from trying to teach her.
The weather was fine for a beginner’s jam session. It might have been a picturesque sight to spy the three comfortably overlooking the yard from the porch. Watching Azami’s attempts at playing music beat being inside and paled in comparison to the hardship Sadayo’s clones were putting up with. The warmth and mum pride in Sadayo invested in Azami’s progress had her attention far from the prepared puppet against the wall, off to the side. She hadn’t dismissed the human puppet Suetsune, who looked like their audience in repose, after returning home from the fight. Uncertainty kept her on guard. Some. A polished stick of bamboo waiting at Sadayo’s knee. Seina sat close by with a larger shamisen in her lap.
It had been some time, weeks, a month? More? He wasn't sure but the Uchiha man felt the all too familiar sun on his back as he stood before the estate that belonged to Sadayo. He smiled as he sensed the familial chakra of Azami, he could tell without seeing her that she'd grown a lot in the short time he'd been gone. Masato would move quietly as he positioned himself around a corner to observe Azami's performance without interruption. As she drew to a close, Masato moved around the corner, clapping cheerfully. "Very good! Your mother has been teaching you well, Azami!" he beamed. His gaze shifted to Sadayo, continuing the warm smile as a small red, nearly palm sized fox leapt up upon his shoulders and yipped as though to greet her. "I'm home, Sadayo." His warmth may come surprisingly to the woman. Losing Kurama some time ago not only damaged his body immensely but had thrown Masato into an unspoken depression, losing a piece of himself in the process. Today though, he seemed more whole than he had since.

In addition, the user gains a [1] point increase to strength and speed per rank of the armor. _☆ Bolstering Kaiser Armor Training | Rank A | Training ___○ This training adds to the previous effects of the Kaiser armor's technique. In addition to that, the target's armor now allows them to regenerate 10 stamina per rank of chakra applied to each technique while the armor is active. The user may not generate more stamina than their reserves may hold. _☆ Cicada Shell | Rank B | Training ___○ After learning the Shadow Clone Technique from the maruton list, the user may cast the Shadow Clone technique in conjunction with techniques from this style to replace mirror images with the clones. Casting Shadow Clones in this manner does not consume an activation. _☆ Multi-Mirror Image Training | Rank A | Training ___○ The user has learned to control their chakra in a fine manner which allows them to create an additional mirror image per rank of the technique it is executed with. These additional images do not increase the strength of the parent technique. _☆ Live Fire Exercise | Rank B | Training ___○ The user has impacted enough on people, a bag, or any other surface worth training their fists. When in the shooter stance, the strength and speed of their strikes is increased by [2] points instead of [1] point per rank. This training requires five posts. _☆ Gunslinger | Rank S | Training ___○ The user has always sacrificed range for power, all up until now. By making their physical offensive techniques of this style complex, the user can send dense chakra orbs from their fists to extend their impacting range as well as allowing them to now "punch" ninjutsu. The strikes are now counted as spiritual when interacting with other techniques and carry the user's full stat increases of simple techniques. These chakra orbs range ten feet per rank of the parent technique. _☆ Knife Flow | Rank E | Training ___○ The user becomes more accustomed to all combat revolving around small weapons combat. The user's speed and agility when wielding a small weapon is increased by [1] point. _☆ Dirty Reflection | Rank C | Training ___○ With proper training and time put in, the user has learned how to angle their blade so that each attack reflects light at the opponent. After each technique, light shines in the opponent's eyes and reduces their agility for that turn equal to the rank of the technique used by the practitioner. Additionally, once every three posts the user can cause tier one blindness on the target. _☆ Two-fer-One | Rank C | Training ___○ The practitioner is now accustomed to performing techniques they have mastered with either one or two knives. Once per post, the user may use a single D-Rank or lower technique involving small weapons as a supplementary action. _☆ Blade’s Edge | Rank B | Training ___○ The user has learned to utilize projectile weapons with this style, allowing their small projectile weapons to be interchangeable with small weapons for this style. All projectie weaponry get the benefits of Knife Flow. _☆ Flame Breathing Pattern [ Kaen Kokyū Hōhō ] | Rank D | Training ___○ The user is accustomed to the unique and various breaths that it takes to preform physical attacks as well as to channel chakra. This allows the user to passively detect when an offensive action is about to occur, giving them a [1] point increase in agility per body rank of the user. Additionally, once every three posts, the user is able to defend against an offensive activation without utilizing an activation. _☆ Flame Attunement [ Chōsei Sa Reta Honō ] | Rank C | Training ___○ By practicing the style's many forms, the user has learned to reduce the chakra needed for equal results by finite control. This reduces the required chakra by 5 per rank for complex techniques that channel elemental powers.

This costs no activation but requires a C Rank amount of chakra each time done. These clones have access to C Rank and below Basic Combat Skills. In addition, each of these clones, upon being stricken with a value equal or greater to C Rank explode, sending their specific element flying outward fifteen feet. Each clone requires an E Ranked Upkeep per post. _☆ Task of the Next Generation [ Jisedai no Shigoto ] | Rank S | Training ___○ Upon the master of the school of Kakumei no Hono Ryu, it's the user's responsibility to develop the next generation! The user is granted one [1] custom slot usable only for a personal technique of this style's theme. _☆ Ogre's Grip [ Oni no Haaku ] | Rank S | Training ___○ Through their rigorous endeavors with their mighty weapon, the practitioner has developed immaculate upper body strength. Because of this impressive development, the user needs only a single hand to wield large sized weapons. _☆ Manipulating Line | Rank B | Training ___○ After casting Retrieval, the user is able to tack on the additional chakra to the same activation of Retrieval. Instead of calling these weapons back to the user, they are able to be manipulated by the chakra threads they are attached to in a similar manner to puppet strings.The chakra threads attached to the weapons remain active for three posts and techniques can be executed from the Manipulating Line technique as though thrown by the user if desired. _☆ Shuriken Hunter | Rank S | Training ___○ The user's scavenging skills ensure that they are always able to find new shuriken lying about and retrieve their used weapons. This ensures they never carry less than 200 small projectile weapons.

ooc: I'M WORKING ON OTHER POSTS, I SWEAR! D:
It was easy to brush the applause off, in earshot, as a pleasantry from one of Azami’s older relatives. Mother and father, Sadayo initially thought until the voice she anticipated didn’t rightfully match. Azami beat her to the punch. In her excitement the instrument toppling forward was no hurdle to the little girl. She hopped over such, slid over Seina’s knee, and launched herself off the porch and barreled for her target. “Aah! My my my!” Seina couldn’t help but laugh through an awkward effort to catch the little instrument. “Well that’s probably the end of that, huh?” What else but smile? The comment came with a wary look for her older sister’s response. Sadayo repelled the impulse to turn at the first sound of Masato’s voice. His glance to her would initially see the side of her head. She hardly paid any mind to Azami rocketing off into the yard. Sadayo was gripped by the spark of a fluttering tingle in her chest. Until he called her name, Sadayo’s captive breath gave way.
Instead, she could only bring herself to savor how sunlight gave light to the objects of her thought. Her returning smile was warm, but, tired as if Sadayo had nearly exhausted her grief. For now, dismissing perhaps a dozen things to say. All three of Sadayo’s ponytails were looking floaty, stable, and she actually looked like she had something warm and fuzzy to say. But then there was Azami.
The child threw out her arms within the short distance from the porch to the corner. She locked her elbows and small white-knuckled fists looking ready to pummel something on impact. Tiny rage wasn't a nickname thrown around lightly for giggles and the collision didn’t end in any sort of hug. Pulling her arms back to throw punches was a trick too. Little arms didn’t hug, punch, but reeled back as her head and neck carried out the motions of a headbutt with all her tiny, Azami might. Upset about two months having gone by? Pent up tiny ragings occasionally wouldn’t arrive as forgettable words. One grand gesture was the current phase. An unscripted, savage intent to bash her forehead uniquely into Masato’s hip felt like a better way to get a message across. Spine shattering effects or not! Azami…” Sadayo groaned, defeated, as her floaty ponytails droop. ”You’re gonna cause a problem doing that one day.” She paused to palm the wooden flute at her knee and stand. " At least say hello first.”
Ragings subsided and Azami’s focus swapped to stealing his attention with something as easy as taking his hand. "Daddy," she announced, finally, sounding proud of herself as she looked up at him. "I lost a whole tooth and you missed it! This ‘n! Right here!" No cracks, chips, but tiny white square teeth with an odd spot out in her smile."It's extra pokey than all the others!" The new tooth being what looked like the short end of something long, sharp, and nothing like any other. Azami’s smile fell upon a gasp, "Like that!” she exclaims, pointing up to the fox on Masato’s shoulder. ”Like puppy teeth!"
It wasn't lost on Masato that Sadayo would possibly be irritated with his elongated ventures out, even though she might have grown used to them after the past years. Azami however, he wasn't entirely attuned to quite yet. His in depth physical studies would all indicate that the small girl was about to launch a ferverous headbutt to his hip. The signals of aggressive behavior all swept away by the small but mighty voice of his only child. This tiny lapse in his defenses would allow the girl's headbutt to land squarely on the right of his hip, meeting firmly against the more exposed portion of the hipbone. The nerves in his hip fired off rapidly that some intense blow had been landed. He winced briefly, masking the pain of the strike with a laugh. "Ahh-ha" he forced. A tingling sensation shot down his leg all the way to the tips of his toes.
No sooner than he'd been caught off guard by Azami and recovered from the blow did the grip of her tiny hand in his bring him back to in an instant. Masato stared down at Azami, eyes full of wonder as he examined the sharpened tooth that protruded out from the other flattened teeth. " Oh! Wow! " He exclaimed in an overzealous clamor. " It totally looks like a fox fang!" he continued as the small red fox with a gold and silver eye leapt from his head and landed dantily upon Azami's. " Yeah! She looks like she got a trait or two from the big guy, huh? " he laughed as he reffered to Kurama. His voice some what more sharp with a nasally tone to it, almost sounding like a teenage punk's persona. Masato's expression clearly was somewhat offput by the comment, leering at the small troll of a fox for a moment before dismissing his behavior as something similar to what the crow hatchlings would do before. The fox barely contained it's excitement knowing he made the situation slightly less comfortable, snickering to himself. " Name's Yuudai! I'm a fox kiddo, not to be confused with any kinda dogs, we're totally different! We're way more clever!"
Masato's smile was accompanied by a roll of the eyes, recalling Yuudai back up his arm to his shoulder after Azami had a moment to interact with him. " Yep, we've been walking all the way back from the Sentorii Forest..." He said with a hint of worry that might go unnoticed by Azami but to Sadayo she may pick up on the curiosity of the statement. Masato rarely walked anywhere he'd not been previously as he utilized his Mangekyo to travel between places regularly from his Kamui dimension. He moved to pick up Azami, holding her on his left hip as he winced once more. The lingering pain from the child's headbutt remained more potently than it might have in the past and Masato was beginning to take note of the peculiarities surrounding his health since Kurama's removal.

Azami felt very proud of her new tooth. A true milestone which Masato thus far had the loudest and, more importantly, best reception of it. Although, the explicit how's and why's she inherited a funky tooth were blurry. It was like having some grasp of the reason for something but not fully understanding why. But the details didn’t matter! What did matter was how the small, supposed-fox planted its four dirty paws on her head. Like the start of a game. Azami naturally went cross eyed, staring upward, in an effort to get a better look of Yuudai. Yet, how the new tooth felt on her tongue still seemed a little more interesting. Red and small like a new toy with its own attitude. “Uh-huh, uh-huh.” Certainly not as nice as a doggy either. When Yuudai returned up Masato’s arm, Azami wrinkled her nose and smirked. “Tricky tricky fox!” The child couldn’t resist teasing Yuudai’s parting words, “You look like a baby tricky fox, she giggled as if on cue when Masato scooped her up. Daddy made things extra safe, of course.
“Walked?” Sadayo’s reply was careful to repeat what she thought was spoken. She spied Masato wince which duly prompted her grip to tighten, just a little more, on the flute. “Alright.” Sadayo was occasionally the type to notice little things, more so, if being familiar with her obsessions was the motivation. Time away played a role too. Masato’s incredibly short time with her after the overwhelming incidents of the Pale Citadel left Sadayo with an impression busy drawing a division between what she knew and didn’t know: she knew something went wrong, this was a change, but didn't know what change would bring. “ I suppose that’s where the foxes live, then? It must’ve…” The thought dragged into a moment’s pause. As her sights glanced over the little red fox from her perch on the porch. Sadayo’s smile surfaced again as she felt pity. Masato was already replacing one fox with another. She shrugged her shoulders “...been quite the trip.”
A wide-eyed look on Azami's implied the wonder she felt from all this talk of trips and places that produced talking foxes. At this point the little girl had already made herself comfortable. Happily with her head against Masato, Azami watched Sadayo idly for the length of her reply and interrupted to swivel the topic upward, "is that like the bears?" Azami's question didn't leave much room for reply. "Mommy saw talking bears."
"Yes, I met talking bears, ” Sadayo’s chimes in, nodding, glossing over the topic almost like it was an uneventful experience better left in the background as she descended the porch.The woman placed herself opposite of Azami, at Masato’s other shoulder to try to accomplish a little more than just admire how cute she found their contented little girl to be. The benign reach to maneuver black strands of hair out of Azami’s face had Sadayo feeling fidgety butterflies flutter, why don't we tell him about the bears later? You know he just got here, let's wait. You have time." The urge to flop against Masato’s arm would’ve been maddening if Sadayo hadn’t found worthwhile words to say.
"The trip wasn’t difficult to find, was it?” The look on her face, as she looked up, was just shy of looking too cautious about even asking. She was absolutely certain she saw him wince.
"Oh, yeah. " Masato nodded as he realized that Sentorii Forest wasn't knowledgeable to all. " Kurama told me about the forest, told me how it was full of Nature Chakra and that the foxes had accepted him as one of their own." He smiled, staring at his right hand's open palm as he reflected upon the past few months. " I thoug-" he started, burrying the words. ' I thought they could help me accept this.' but he felt as though that may insult Yuudai. He had infact hoped to feel connected to Kurama still through the Sentorii Forest but hadn't felt so without dawning the vestiges of Kurama's cloak that he fueled without the demonic chakra himself. He sighed " I'm tired." He said flatly, clearly burying himself in self-pity.
A sharp sting would resonate from Masato's head as Yuudai clamped his teeth down briefly with a yip. " Aye now! I ain't here to learn from no sob story ninja!" He growled before releasing Masato's head.
The shinobi grunted at the bite that was sharp, but clearly not deadly. Still, it's sting lingered. Just then he felt Sadayo's presense at his right side. He looked down to her, eyes meeting her gaze. The exchange of eye contact would catch him off guard but only because he would recognize the worry in her eyes as she spoke to him. His stare lingered. "Sa...dayo." he softly spoke, mustering up the next words. He knew she understood what he was experiencing, or at least wasn't oblivious to what he'd been coyly conveying to her. " It wasn't impossible, but it was...taxing." he said as he felt the fatigue in his arm from holding Azami for several minutes. He braced her more onto his hip and smiled with an unusual expression befitting his confusion.

The user may not generate more stamina than their reserves may hold. _☆ Cicada Shell | Rank B | Training ___○ After learning the Shadow Clone Technique from the maruton list, the user may cast the Shadow Clone technique in conjunction with techniques from this style to replace mirror images with the clones. Casting Shadow Clones in this manner does not consume an activation. _☆ Multi-Mirror Image Training | Rank A | Training ___○ The user has learned to control their chakra in a fine manner which allows them to create an additional mirror image per rank of the technique it is executed with. These additional images do not increase the strength of the parent technique. _☆ Live Fire Exercise | Rank B | Training ___○ The user has impacted enough on people, a bag, or any other surface worth training their fists. When in the shooter stance, the strength and speed of their strikes is increased by [2] points instead of [1] point per rank. This training requires five posts. _☆ Gunslinger | Rank S | Training ___○ The user has always sacrificed range for power, all up until now. By making their physical offensive techniques of this style complex, the user can send dense chakra orbs from their fists to extend their impacting range as well as allowing them to now "punch" ninjutsu. The strikes are now counted as spiritual when interacting with other techniques and carry the user's full stat increases of simple techniques. These chakra orbs range ten feet per rank of the parent technique. _☆ Knife Flow | Rank E | Training ___○ The user becomes more accustomed to all combat revolving around small weapons combat. The user's speed and agility when wielding a small weapon is increased by [1] point. _☆ Dirty Reflection | Rank C | Training ___○ With proper training and time put in, the user has learned how to angle their blade so that each attack reflects light at the opponent. After each technique, light shines in the opponent's eyes and reduces their agility for that turn equal to the rank of the technique used by the practitioner. Additionally, once every three posts the user can cause tier one blindness on the target. _☆ Two-fer-One | Rank C | Training ___○ The practitioner is now accustomed to performing techniques they have mastered with either one or two knives. Once per post, the user may use a single D-Rank or lower technique involving small weapons as a supplementary action. _☆ Blade’s Edge | Rank B | Training ___○ The user has learned to utilize projectile weapons with this style, allowing their small projectile weapons to be interchangeable with small weapons for this style. All projectie weaponry get the benefits of Knife Flow. _☆ Flame Breathing Pattern [ Kaen Kokyū Hōhō ] | Rank D | Training ___○ The user is accustomed to the unique and various breaths that it takes to preform physical attacks as well as to channel chakra. This allows the user to passively detect when an offensive action is about to occur, giving them a [1] point increase in agility per body rank of the user. Additionally, once every three posts, the user is able to defend against an offensive activation without utilizing an activation. _☆ Flame Attunement [ Chōsei Sa Reta Honō ] | Rank C | Training ___○ By practicing the style's many forms, the user has learned to reduce the chakra needed for equal results by finite control. This reduces the required chakra by 5 per rank for complex techniques that channel elemental powers. In addition, this does not reduce the potency of the user's techniques in collisions. _☆ Flames of Deception [ Kyogi no Hi ] | Rank C | Training ___○ Once per post when using a technique from this style after the user completes this training, a C Ranked elemental clone of the user may be created in their place as they move out of sight in some manner through role play. This costs no activation but requires a C Rank amount of chakra each time done. These clones have access to C Rank and below Basic Combat Skills. In addition, each of these clones, upon being stricken with a value equal or greater to C Rank explode, sending their specific element flying outward fifteen feet. Each clone requires an E Ranked Upkeep per post. _☆ Task of the Next Generation [ Jisedai no Shigoto ] | Rank S | Training ___○ Upon the master of the school of Kakumei no Hono Ryu, it's the user's responsibility to develop the next generation! The user is granted one [1] custom slot usable only for a personal technique of this style's theme. _☆ Ogre's Grip [ Oni no Haaku ] | Rank S | Training ___○ Through their rigorous endeavors with their mighty weapon, the practitioner has developed immaculate upper body strength. Because of this impressive development, the user needs only a single hand to wield large sized weapons. _☆ Manipulating Line | Rank B | Training ___○ After casting Retrieval, the user is able to tack on the additional chakra to the same activation of Retrieval. Instead of calling these weapons back to the user, they are able to be manipulated by the chakra threads they are attached to in a similar manner to puppet strings.The chakra threads attached to the weapons remain active for three posts and techniques can be executed from the Manipulating Line technique as though thrown by the user if desired. _☆ Shuriken Hunter | Rank S | Training ___○ The user's scavenging skills ensure that they are always able to find new shuriken lying about and retrieve their used weapons. This ensures they never carry less than 200 small projectile weapons.

Seina had been waiting, all the while, pretending to stare at something ahead of her instead of Sadayo and Masato. Idly plucking notes on the strings in wait. At times, it felt like she was on the receiving end of a captivating drama playing out and remorselessly holding its audience ready for the pinnacle moment where the hero sweeps the leading lady into his embrace as an expression of his undying love. There was no promise ever such a scene would play out- but by God- Seina wouldn't dream of missing it. " Then sit " Seina adds, sounding positively complacent with her own advice as she intrudes on the moment. She wanted to assume that Sadayo was getting caught up in a dream world to say much else. " "Inside. Outside.” She turned her head to finally ogle and flutter her eyelashes at the couple. Pausing to energetically strum several bouncing notes on the shamisen. Then stop. ” The roof. The floor. Wherever you want."
Seina's role- in this neo leaf- has been tied to her niece. Either living apart or living under the same roof, Sadayo’s younger sister was practically Azami's surrogate parent. Not a role she signed on for, exactly, but the job has its blessings (Seina could flex her best qualities in the search for Azami's responsible future uncle). Concerning Masato, her opinions of him were in good standing with bonus points for being the shirtless, handsome type with his priorities mostly in the right places. Yet his temper was a "total turn-off". Nothing she'd see herself personally dealing with for the rest of her life. If Seina were a younger, more petulant girl then she would certainly be the annoying little sister who would take pride in teasing Masato.
As the older sister attuned to Seina’s mellowed antics Sadayo could generally block them out. Even now, as she was trying to piece together what bare-boned details Masato seemed unwilling to share. It was too soon for an alarm and too soon for panic to pan out when there was nothing she could do for him. Without a doubt, she was more than suspicious that Kurama betrayed him. Some fraction of her revisiting how she felt in the Citadel: a grieving mess built of relief and anguish. An even lesser sliver of herself was. probably, subconsciously savor the fleeting, fluttery feeling in her chest. All three ponytails outwardly banking on the moment showing a fluffy, uneven look contrasting with the attentive, unsettled look on her face.
Noise finally tugging Sadayo back out of thought. “Azami, how about you-” she wasn’t sure what to say, when to say, and whatever words fell out of her mouth all better be confident and warm. “Hop down and go finish your lesson?” All prompting Seina’s to assume a hopeful look on her face and raise to wave the little instrument in the air. “You were having so much fun, I’d love to hear more.” Between tiny child thought filled grumbling noises, Azami weighed one option over another until finally, “mwah" , planting a noisy kiss on Masato’s cheek before shifting all of her tiny weight away from him. It was time to be let down. “Watch me!” Azami finally returned to collect her stringed instrument with all the bouncy dramatics expected.
"Not impossible but it was taxing,” she echoed the line, soothingly, placing her sights again on the girl before she looked upward again. It was a sentiment all too familiar lately and a phrase that didn’t rightfully suit Masato of all people. She crosses her arms over the other and taps Masato’s elbow with her flute. A wide, saucy smile surfacing on her face. “With little insensitive fox kittens riding the back of your neck you shouldn’t be too surprised.” It was still very fun, in very, very small doses, to poke fun at pretentious talking animals.
The strum of the insturment would only further bring Masato's scowl on her. The expresion was less annoyance as it was the look of someone who just couldn't muster the will power to shoot back, knowing they could entertain the situation with a witty response. "Right." he said simply in responce as the child's kiss landed on his cheek. No sooner than Sadayo delivered her grinning, saucy comment did Masato's legs fold, landing him in a rather clumsy transition to the seiza position. A sigh of relief escaped him. " Yeah, c'mon Azami. Keep practicing. I'd love to hear more too." he shot as he snatched the fox from his shoulder. " He's eager. " He growled in response to the comment, glaring down at the fox. " ..and yeah, stopped here first. I figured stopping here before climbing the mountain to the Senshichojo was smart."
Truthfully, Masato's legs ached from the journey, his entire body felt like the time he'd trained with Sandayu in the Kamui realm so many years ago. He wondered if this was the pain that the students he'd dragged alongside him into the fire country felt like when they screamed of their pains and couldn't keep pace. Fatigue was a strange sensation to the man who'd not known it for so many years. " Once Azami finishes, I'll head up and see how I fare in a few bouts. Maybe a good fight is what I need." he said, feigning hope that the adrenaline would get his body restarted and moving properly again. Silently he'd known since he'd crossed back into the land of fire as the cloak that he'd kept from Kurama suddenly faded and his use of the gates began to strain more and more, restricting him to a gradual walk instead of the breakneck speeds that Sadayo had ridden on his back at before.

Between mocking foxes and seating herself, catching sight of Masato’s drained descent felt strange to take in. A pang in her heart. Sadayo’s own descent was slow with a delay in the bend of her knee, as her attention was carefully fixated on the man’s movements and reply. All together, she sank onto her heels on a wispy, weary breath and her ponytails deflated like sagging balloons. One bad idea piling on after another and they didn't necessarily all come straight from Masato.
Sooner, if not later, Sadayo knew she would likely have to answer for the ruined state of a notable building. View from the administration building's rivaling peak beheld a glimpse of the Warrior's Tower. From above, she could imagine how the tower may have beheld a better view of one twelve story administration building comfortably beside its waterfall. Although, now it's just a crumbled heap of rubble and even that's slowly being dismantled too just hours later.
Being seated had its way of just barely getting her level with someone who was essentially a whole head taller than her;and a lack of said height difference made quiet conversation easier. "Masato, your body needs rest." She stated, expecting more grumbles and growls to follow suit. "Ordinary people feel extremely uncomfortable and fatigued from doing hardly half of the things you put up with on a day-to-day basis. If you of all people are feeling fatigued then you've done something overly exceptional." She quietly yet firmly managed to make known what may as well have been a sweetened lie from her perspective. "I'm not demanding that you devote a week, not even one day of rest. At the very least reconsider climbing a mountain right away unless you're going to stay up there."
Some ways away behind Azami, sat the silent audience member against the wall. Masato might frequent a house occupied by puppeteers but weaponized puppets stayed in safe places. More than often, suspended by chains against the walls in the detached workshop unless there was a good reason (and maintenance was most definitely a good reason).
A leftover article from earlier that day was a pristine Suetsune who looked about as comfortable as any guy keenly able to hold their face against their knees and refrain from all movement. This puppet's green silken robe may as well be a cautionary sign of the hectic times unspoken to spare Sadayo from one fewer head and heart ache. One listless, beautiful husk of Suetsune would seemingly suffice. The puppet became the object Sadayo eventually fixated her focus on.
”On the other hand it might be a good idea to go if you can take Azami with you.”
Bun Key: If you want lore on the puppet, this is a guy who wanted to seal away powers on spawns on evergreen to prevent conflict. He was wanted for the murder of at least four adults, assault charges,kidnapping, all that bad jazz. I've definitely drawn Masato beating up this guy for giggles.
A yellow blur, barreling in from over the rooftop, pounded into a grassy patch like a clumsy bird that had forgotten how to fly. He crashed onto the side of his body with one hand cupping desperately over a small black cap on his forehead. The other hand clung to the pole of a shaft. A familiar staff too. A tinkling, golden shakujo, like that of the little Kyomei who tagged along with Sadayo for sometime. The music stopped on a sour plink of strings.
The young man, as it was, had a less than graceful landing but he hardly seemed perturbed and stiffened by it. By the looks of it, he was a tidy, yamabushi monk. "Whew! My my. Talk about a rocky landing!" He sat upright. Apparently amused by his own faults until he began to take in his surroundings, namely, the duo seated quite some ways in front of him.
He exclaimed at the sight of his pleasant findings, "ah!" The staff twinked and chimed as it was pounded to the ground with each recovering, heavy step back up onto his feet. Each step reveals more and more about the uninvited guest: short, brown hair, thin shoes, and two bright, narrow pink eyes. A large black round hat, askew, danged behind his neck."Well! Looks like my prayers were answered." One final thump of the pole to the grass sounds a gentle chime. "Allow me to get to the point." He bowed his head courteously to Sadayo and Masato. His unwilling hosts. But he stopped. Dipped forward just enough where he could still see them and they could see the pink of his eyes. He smiled. "I want my doll back, please." A change was growing nearer.

Rest? He said to himself, repeating the word in his head as Sadayo spoke it. She continued to explain the exhaust normal people felt from doing their day to day things. She tried to explain the strain he'd endured. He scoffed, glancing away like a child told they couldn't play with their neighborhood friends. " I guess you're right. I'll travel up the mountain with Azami, rest in the onsen then move to the training hal-" he said as sometime caught his eye. A yellow blur, a man dressed as a monk with a golden shakujo. His voice and demeanor were pleasant but there was something malicious beneath Masato felt. His eyes narrowed on the man as he blinked, readying his eyes as they shifted from obsidian to a high red hue dotted with three tomoe. The veins around his eyes would bulge and reveal more of the man's chakra network as Masato would size him up. " I'm assuming he's no friend?" Masato said with a somewhat tense expression, wondering how difficult it would be to fight such a person with his current power diminished. His hands remained open and somewhat lax at his sides, but he knew that he would need to give forth effort to handle foes he could easily topple before.

The user may not generate more stamina than their reserves may hold. _☆ Cicada Shell | Rank B | Training ___○ After learning the Shadow Clone Technique from the maruton list, the user may cast the Shadow Clone technique in conjunction with techniques from this style to replace mirror images with the clones. Casting Shadow Clones in this manner does not consume an activation. _☆ Multi-Mirror Image Training | Rank A | Training ___○ The user has learned to control their chakra in a fine manner which allows them to create an additional mirror image per rank of the technique it is executed with. These additional images do not increase the strength of the parent technique. _☆ Live Fire Exercise | Rank B | Training ___○ The user has impacted enough on people, a bag, or any other surface worth training their fists. When in the shooter stance, the strength and speed of their strikes is increased by [2] points instead of [1] point per rank. This training requires five posts. _☆ Gunslinger | Rank S | Training ___○ The user has always sacrificed range for power, all up until now. By making their physical offensive techniques of this style complex, the user can send dense chakra orbs from their fists to extend their impacting range as well as allowing them to now "punch" ninjutsu. The strikes are now counted as spiritual when interacting with other techniques and carry the user's full stat increases of simple techniques. These chakra orbs range ten feet per rank of the parent technique. _☆ Knife Flow | Rank E | Training ___○ The user becomes more accustomed to all combat revolving around small weapons combat. The user's speed and agility when wielding a small weapon is increased by [1] point. _☆ Dirty Reflection | Rank C | Training ___○ With proper training and time put in, the user has learned how to angle their blade so that each attack reflects light at the opponent. After each technique, light shines in the opponent's eyes and reduces their agility for that turn equal to the rank of the technique used by the practitioner. Additionally, once every three posts the user can cause tier one blindness on the target. _☆ Two-fer-One | Rank C | Training ___○ The practitioner is now accustomed to performing techniques they have mastered with either one or two knives. Once per post, the user may use a single D-Rank or lower technique involving small weapons as a supplementary action. _☆ Blade’s Edge | Rank B | Training ___○ The user has learned to utilize projectile weapons with this style, allowing their small projectile weapons to be interchangeable with small weapons for this style. All projectie weaponry get the benefits of Knife Flow. _☆ Flame Breathing Pattern [ Kaen Kokyū Hōhō ] | Rank D | Training ___○ The user is accustomed to the unique and various breaths that it takes to preform physical attacks as well as to channel chakra. This allows the user to passively detect when an offensive action is about to occur, giving them a [1] point increase in agility per body rank of the user. Additionally, once every three posts, the user is able to defend against an offensive activation without utilizing an activation. _☆ Flame Attunement [ Chōsei Sa Reta Honō ] | Rank C | Training ___○ By practicing the style's many forms, the user has learned to reduce the chakra needed for equal results by finite control. This reduces the required chakra by 5 per rank for complex techniques that channel elemental powers. In addition, this does not reduce the potency of the user's techniques in collisions. _☆ Flames of Deception [ Kyogi no Hi ] | Rank C | Training ___○ Once per post when using a technique from this style after the user completes this training, a C Ranked elemental clone of the user may be created in their place as they move out of sight in some manner through role play. This costs no activation but requires a C Rank amount of chakra each time done. These clones have access to C Rank and below Basic Combat Skills. In addition, each of these clones, upon being stricken with a value equal or greater to C Rank explode, sending their specific element flying outward fifteen feet. Each clone requires an E Ranked Upkeep per post. _☆ Task of the Next Generation [ Jisedai no Shigoto ] | Rank S | Training ___○ Upon the master of the school of Kakumei no Hono Ryu, it's the user's responsibility to develop the next generation! The user is granted one [1] custom slot usable only for a personal technique of this style's theme. _☆ Ogre's Grip [ Oni no Haaku ] | Rank S | Training ___○ Through their rigorous endeavors with their mighty weapon, the practitioner has developed immaculate upper body strength. Because of this impressive development, the user needs only a single hand to wield large sized weapons. _☆ Manipulating Line | Rank B | Training ___○ After casting Retrieval, the user is able to tack on the additional chakra to the same activation of Retrieval. Instead of calling these weapons back to the user, they are able to be manipulated by the chakra threads they are attached to in a similar manner to puppet strings.The chakra threads attached to the weapons remain active for three posts and techniques can be executed from the Manipulating Line technique as though thrown by the user if desired. _☆ Shuriken Hunter | Rank S | Training ___○ The user's scavenging skills ensure that they are always able to find new shuriken lying about and retrieve their used weapons. This ensures they never carry less than 200 small projectile weapons.
Nothing stood between Masato and his vision. The monk arrived without any tricks to hide his hidden power. He held a wealth of power and his chakra network looping to something sinister and familiar under the small black cap on his forehead. Her attention jumped from puppet to the unannounced visitor. She flinched and a look on her face didn't certainly skip out on showing the surprise. Even her ponytails jumped. To say the least? She was "on edge". But when all was said and done it was a monk? Right? Sadayo's reply came carefully. "Doll? I took your doll?" Almost immediately, the monk began to nod heavily. "yes, yes. The pretty one." The smile on the monk's face spread and curled. He couldn't hide how eager he was to be drawing nearer and nearer to his prize. "I'm certain I dropped her in front of one of your little warrior slaves. Lovely light hair," his hold on his staff was becoming tighter. "Pretty pink eyes like mine." It was here that the hard look of confusion on Sadayo's face finally lessened. Furrowed brows began to soften and lips slowly prying apart. Even the surface of her hair began to rumple like wrinkled silk. "Well?
Proverbial knife point. Sadayo's hand, once hovering at her knees, hurriedly smacked Masato's forearm. In some attempt to catch even a glimpse of his attention, the look she'd pass to him was an exquisitely delicate look of alarm. With each second to pass, it was nearing impossible to hide and keep collected. A rapid, faint whisper escaped her anchored, ridged lips: "Inshou." Those terrible, pink eyes watching were the only blotch of color to be seen on one of the Inshou monks that escaped after attacking the Pale Citadel.
Sadayo's sights flickered from Masato to pass over the direction where Azami sat and then quickly to (the now exceedingly) unwelcome monk.
Bun Key: If you want lore on the puppet, this is a guy who wanted to seal away powers on spawns on evergreen to prevent conflict. He was wanted for the murder of at least four adults, assault charges,kidnapping, all that bad jazz. I've definitely drawn Masato beating up this guy for giggles.
