Cassidy was perplexed at the arrival of what appeared to be a bard... who was also a farmer... who was also a ninja. But her distracted mind still managed to focus on the task at hand. DC:7 Roll:7+3=10
Another step was passed and the task seemed to be relatively easier than last time, or just appeared to be. But it also seemed that it was harder to keep her feelings in check. With the passing steps she felt a surging sense of pride come over her. DC:7 8+3=11
Cassidy felt herself rising from the ground with great ease. Her charka control was coming naturally, and with every step it seemed as if she could let go just a bit more. She smiled with pride in her success, and continued up the wall. DC:7 16+3=19
In a final, blazing, glory, Cassidy felt her feet cling to wall as if she was standing on normal ground. This final surge of pride was something to push Cassidy over the line between self control and self abusive pride. She giggled a little girl giggle and charge upward. DC:7 Roll:20 Auto Success
But it seemed the old saying 'Pride before the fall' was a truthful saying after all. Literally. With the overzealous feeling of pride came the flaw of not paying attention to what the hell you are doing. Her feet lifted off the wall and with a stumble Cassidy made a slight cut into the granite of the canyon with a kunai before making a haphazard landing. DC:10 Roll:5+3=8
Cassidy dusted herself off and with a shake of the head she vowed silently to restrain herself from undertaking such foolish emotions such as pride. She collected herself, and focused her charka well enough to make it the frist few steps without falling. DC:7 Roll:12+3=15
Her steady resolve to not let her emotions take control of her was successful, at least for the first two steps. She continued to focus hard on the task at hand and not let herself get distracted by such silly things as emotions. DC:7 Roll:10+3=13
Another two feet were cleared and Cassidy was successful in keeping her emotions in check. She was determined to reach the top in the small time she could make for herself to complete the exercise. DC:7 Roll:10+3=13
She continued up the rocky canyon wall and reached a point where her charka was scarce. She closed her eyes and tried to run with what she had. She exerted herself, trying hard to stay attached to the wall. DC:7 Roll:20 Auto Success
With an energetic boost, she continued to run up the wall. Although she knew her general charka was depleted but she could still run by using the charka she had left with precision and control. She moved on, trying not to focus on whether or not she could make it. DC:7 Roll:8+3=11
It seemed that Cassidy's limt had been reached. She felt that she could no longer refine what charka she had no matter how good she was. She grabbed a kunai firmly in her hand at at about 14 feet up she made a mark. She leapt down from the rocky cliff and with a sense of deserved satisfaction she walk towards her sensei to see what he was about... or to see if he was actually a farmer... and a bard... and a ninja... DC:10 Roll:17+3=20 rolls

Cassidy walked over to the bard and stared into him profusely. She was somewhat perplexed by the man, but overall excepted him. After all, it's not like she was normal. "Hello Sensei. What did you do over your trip?" she asked in her stoic tone of voice, wondering what the man actually did on his vacations. As she asked this Sabi slithered towards her, and with a affectionate cling he stationed himself around her neck.

(I hate the dice...)
Shuiro wasn't sure what to do... she wasn't even able to get it in the air this time. She felt pathetic now... She looked down at her hands, bloody with the bandages torn already, why did she have to be so weak... The last time she sucked up her pride and asked sensei for help, he accused her of not wanting to be a great ninja...

Rolling her eyes, she knew she had to do something to cheer herself up. She paced around the rock person thinking of something she would enjoy. A lightbulb appeared above her head and she pulled out a kunai. Studying the face... she dug the knife into it's face and carved eyes a nose and a mouth onto it. "That's better... now I can really take my anger out on it..." She turned around to face sensei and showed him the face. 'Hey sensei! Look! It looks just like you!"

Smiling at sensei for a moment longer, she kicked it up into the air and appeared behind it. She gave it a solid smack to the face and it cracked a nit as well. "Hard-headed with the expression range of a rock... dont you think it suits you?" She grinned evily... bouncing on her toes... waiting to bolt if he came at her with a pitchfork of katana...

Krayte looked down at the other girl who approached him. Seeing as he knew the other girl was Aribeth, a theatre enthusiast, this one must be Cassidy, who was recently discovered to be Aero-sannin's kid. Poor kid. Forced animalia experiments. That was now two people he knew who had been plagued by Hishu Uchiha. He prepared a response within a few seconds, picked up his guitar and answered the girl, in merry song.
"Well . . . I'll tell you how I lived the last few days, and how i felt in so many ways! Amegakure village is where I went, My whole trip there I had spent! I was walking through the forest one fatefull day, That is where a saw something awfully strange. I saw my brother get Brutal-ly! Murdered by Hishu's evil Deeds! Not even then was he through, He proceeded to tear his soul in two! He battered and shattered him, leaving only tatters, then through away the bleeding corpse of a boy! At that point nothing else mattered, for I had then beed rid of any such Joyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!
I began my walk home, teary eyed and alone, Nothing could ever ease my pain! Well my heart wasn't spared, oh, the world unfair, for it then proceeded to rain! As I walked around wet, wanting desperately to forget, I came a cross a small store. I walked inside to explore, to find that that would end my stomachs rumbling. And there I saw, in complete and utter awe, the most delicious looking dumplings! So I made my buy, and I'd no longer cry, now that I had this suculent treat! I brought them back here, now without fear, bringing them for you girls to eat!"
Deezers looked shock at the happy singing Krayte, who had a rather angry song of his own to sing,
"What the hell! You're brother's dead, and you're singing a merry tune about dumplings! Krayte, what's wrong with you!"
Krayte wasn't paying too much attention, and instead beckoned with hand gestures for Cassidy to try a dumpling, as he himself placed one inside his mouth.
"First of all, It's Devin the bard, singing his tales of wonder across the land. And second of all, Errent is fine, He is in very trustable hands . . .That reminds me . . .Cassidy, I need you to tell me two things, although they may be delicate topics for you two answer . . . well, how much do you know about your father . . .and um, how much exactlly do you know of your Anamalia affliction within?"

Cassidy looked confused at the jounin bard, she thought it was quite unusual for him to ask her about her personal life but she guessed that they were going to be spending alot of time together over the course of her training so they might as well get to know each other. "Well... I don't know my father... The first memories I have are of pitch black.... a void with nothing but two eyes that glowed red as if painted by the devil himself. They never told me about my parents, or even where I came from. They just did what they wanted for research and didn't bother me with details, hell I didn't even know I had a name..." She gripped her shirt at the end and twisted it, the memories that were held within her spiked a different emotion with each vivid image her brain concocted. "And the only reason I know I am an Animalia is because that is what someone else called me, he was a Animalia too who they used." She loosened her grip on her shirt as the image of the kind young man appeared in her head, the first man to show her emotion in any form other than a test. "He told me I had a creature's soul within me, and I was unlike any of the other experiments cause I had the soul since birth. That was when the two red eyes told me my name... Cassidy..." She turned her attention away from her shirt and back to her sensei, she forced a smile and said in a mimicly cheerful voice, "And that's all there is pretty much... Why do you ask?"

The girl had an interesting story, and Krayte considered the morality in revealing the fact that she did indeed have a dad. Although alas, that was for Aero, and only Aero to tell her. The other thing though, the Animalia affliction was a specialty of Krayte's.
"Yes, well, listen here. The creature within that has undoubtedly caused you much suffering, I will hone your skill and cause it to become an advantage of yours! So fear not, and embrace that within. . .
And Aribeth, dear Aribeth! My absence in the local theatre has been out of my control, but surely it's treated you well, has it not?"

Cassidy smiled at the confusingly self-provocative man who stood before her. It was a smile that had no real joy in it, but just was she was told what joy was. Emotions were never something she understood well besides those that had been taught to her, and she figured if any situation deserved joy it was this. "Thank you, Krayte Sensei..." she said, forcing this pseudo emotion into the phrase. "So what are we gonna do?"

Krayte smiled and proclaimed to the troubled girl. She tried to hide it, but Krayte understood her reasons for . . .lacking emotion.
"Exactally!! We'll do nothing! We'll let it fester within, releasing great power!! You of course must be willing, and I will assure you if anything goes wrong, I'm a fuuin jutsu expert and I will keep you in check. But with proper training you will be a formidable opponent. Once Katagi arrives we can move to standard genjutsu and stuff like that."

Leaving the village Katagi ran as fast as he could knowing the group was waiting for him, Panting as ran up north to the canyon where they met last time. "I didn't even get to go to sleep..." Katagi thought to himself as he wanted to be refreshed and back to a awake state before he went back to training. But his sisters food really did hit the spot. After running for the training spot, he saw the others in the distance including Krayte-sensei. "Thats right...Krayte-sensei was going to return..." Katagi reminded himself as he reached the others at last. "I'm...back...." Katagi said panting from all the running he did. "Hello Krayte-sensei , Cassidy-chan and the new team member." He saw the other team mate who he had no idea who she was, but it was obvious it was the third team mate. It was odd how they were never in the acadamy when he graduated...Either they did between the two years or they could of been refugees from another village.

Krayte saw Katagi, his original student came along and greeted everyone.
"Dear child!! So good to see you! I see you are acquainted with Cassidy! Well the new girl is Aribeth, a fellow pursuer of the theatric arts! I know you will all get along! . . .If you know whats good for you . . .So! I have dumplings, so help yourself! How has your past time in my absence been spent?"

(She's never gonna get this... my rolls suck...)
Shuiro kicked the stone friend up into the air again, but was only able to make a few more cracks in it's surface... Besides her screwed up hands, what was wrong!?! She was starting to feel like this exercise was hopeless... she'd barely done any damage... and she doubted that she would get further...

She was starting to get fed up with herself and her own attitude towards the situation. She and her brother had learned that no matter what the situation, they could find a way through it... even if they weren't together... Taking a deep breath she channeled her anger into the next shot. While in the air, she gave it a punch that spread cracks all over it's body, it's head was knocked of as well...
