Beyond the bamboo to the north lies the crescent mountain, which encircles much of the forest in it's rocky embrace. The mountain itself is treacherous, with steep cliffs and rock faces. Few places on the mountain exist which are considered safe to climb to access it's heights, and this is one of them. Located on the inside of the crescent, this pass is very near the center, and leads directly up into the mountain proper. The going is still hard, but it is safer than any other point inside the ring.
To access the Mountain, you must pass through this thread.
To access this thread, you must pass through the bamboo forest.
This is a traveling thread, and requires three posts to pass through.

((no posting format for Timmy Timmy mcTim yet sorry.))
Timmy frowned as the "ninja" grabbed his ear again and started shouting. He hadnt bothered listening since they left home. Shikaku seemed to annoy the man slightly less, but only slightly. Perhaps it was because he was the one to actually grab the wallet of a "super awesome Jounin"? Timmy was clearly the mastermind though, so he couldnt figure out why the man seemed to prefer Shikaku... Maye it was because of the fire? if all ninja were like this one they clearly couldnt take a joke. His eyebrows would grow back sooner or later. "Hey Nayama, eyebrows grow back... right?" Timmy stared at the ninja, who was shouting even more. something about ignoring what he had to say. clearly nothing important. "Juhute" he muttered under his breath so only Shikaku was likely to hear him. Not that any of the other one people here would understand it if they (all one of them) heard it.
After the man stopped shouting they reached the top of a particularly steep bit of road, at which point they found themselves staring at even more road. Supposedly there was a bamboo forest around here, but Timmy wasnt convinced. Bamboo doesnt grow in forests does it?

   "Ehetio, Tsivat choh." Shikaku muttered back, rolling his eyes. The white haired boy was worried, and only growing more worried by the minute, and Timmy's antics weren't helping. The week had started out so well too... They had found a good mark, actually sold some of Timmy's less useless creations to a particularly gullible caravan, and made off with a fair bit of money. Then they got greedy, saw a guy walking through town wearing some nice clothes and with a great big pouch of what they had assumed to be cash just dangling off his hip. It was too big to just cut loose, so Shikaku had had Timmy distract the guy trying to sell some more junk while he dug in. But of course, there wasn't a single coin in the pouch, just a bunch of knives and slips of paper. Of course, he took the papers, and even one of the knives and they made their escape. But Timmy, sweet cheerful clumsy Timmy just had to trip over a bloody cat and draw the guy's attention. From there it just went downhill. The ninja had spotted Shikaku holding his paper slips, and seconds later they were fleeing a pursuer who could run on the bloody walls. Timmy had snatched one of the papers, claimed they were some sort of magic talismans, or something, and somehow turned it on, making a big a** fireball right in the ninja's face. Then of course he decided that was fun and started flinging the things everywhere. Big mess. Of course the ninja still caught them, and dragged them not only out of town, but right out into the middle of nowhere. After confiscating all their acquired weapons and hard earned cash, of course. 'Tsivat hixca.'This could only be headed in one direction as far as Shikaku could tell. They had pissed off a ninja, and now he was dragging them off to kill them. And, hands tied with friggin' ninja wire and leashed to the guy's belt, there was really nothing they could do about it. And of course Timmy was just doing his best to piss the guy off even worse. But he could work with that. it kept the guy's attention on Timmy, while he looked for a way out of this mess. Unfortunately, with the ninja holding all their equipment, and the wire seemingly fused to itself instead of tied around their wrists... The only way was to pummel the guy unconscious with their feet, and there was no way he was going to voice that thought to Timmy, in case the maniac actually decided to try it.  ✦ Chakra: [17/17]

Timmy wondered briefly why Shikaku seemed to keep cursing the man who guided them, It was bizarre really. Timmy himself had difficulty understanding what the ninja wanted from them, since it was never made clear. They had been tied, but at the same time the man was, without a doubt, tolerating them. They had already gotten far outside of anywhere and were going closer and closer to nowhere with each step. This wasn’t an execution by any means... “What about a cat?” Timmy announced proudly, as interrupting his own train of thoughts. “Oh right I forgot to have the rest of the conversation. Hey Slave-master, I'm thinking about a pet. What should I get?” After allowing the man a brief pause so he could fail to respond Timmy spoke again. “What about a cat? I do consider myself a cat person after all. Well, except for the demon ears. You know what I’m talking about, pointing straight up from their heads like... Demon ears. Yaknow what I hate cats. What about a dog.... no they have those.... things...”
The conversation was clearly continuing to fail at a marvelous rate. Perhaps they would be slaves? “Hey bossman, if you want to enslave us, I should point out that he is really clever and mi absolutely bonkers. We'd make terrible slaves. Besides, by the end of the day i'd have knocked enough pickles out of your noggin that I'd be the one bossing you around. Really, it has happened before... once... sort of.” Timmy took a moment to look at his clothes. They were his working clothes, the ninja, frustratingly, hadn't let Timmy get any of his 'supplies' or his 'business suit'. A shame really. Still, climbing this mountain in clown shoes would be difficult. “Hey Shikaku, if he enslaves us we should revolt and beat him unconscious with our feet. That'll show him.”
Finally the ninja spoke. “You are already revolting I promise.” As they walked further down the mountain, towards the rest of the road which failed to lead to anything interesting, the ninja decided to pick up a new hobby... slapping the back of Timmy's head. This was odd, as Timmy had already discovered through previous experience that his head did not in fact sound anything like a drum. There was almost no resonance at all! Still, pity on the poor guy. Must be tone deaf. Or perhaps he is really deaf? That would explain how he ignored the two so long. Course, he responded to the revolt comment quickly enough...

Shikaku hated to admit it, even to himself, but he was bored. Almost a week out of town now, they'd left all familiar terrain behind, climbed over a mountain, and now they were headed back down the other side. The whole time there was almost no conversation, despite Timmy's attempts to start them, which, he had to admit, may have been more successful had they been about things that made sense to anyone else. For the last few days the only real sounds from the group had been Timmy singing bizarre songs he must have either heard in a bar, or made up himself, and their captor telling him to shut up every half hour or so. Sighing, Shikaku kicked Timmy in the shin, presumably to shut him up from his latest ballad. And then again for good measure, and twice more just because. Then, he slowed down almost to a stop, not quite a stop, because he didn't want to be dragged down a mountain face first, and glared at the ninja. "This is so slow. I'm not going down this mountain any further until you tell me why you've kidnapped us. If you want to kill us, just get it over with, but this death march is getting ridiculous!"It was a breach in the boy's character, perhaps. A departure from his standard procedure, but really, was there any point to staying quiet and, perhaps, meek, when you were in the middle of nowhere with someone who probably wanted to kill you? Or enslave you. He hadn't even considered it at first, but Timmy actually might have had a point then, considering a killing would have been easy enough, more convenient, and certainly less stressful, days ago. ✦ Chakra: [17/17]

“I meant to kick HIM not ME!!” Timmy turned around and kicked Shikaku three times in response. What a jerk. Kicking was simply not nice. “Now stop that! Just dont sentence us to death like that! My life was going just fine until you decided to steal from this guy!” He glared at the ninja and shouted “Why arent you happier? You dont look like you ever got picked in team sports!” Then he kicked Shikaku again. “Besides it's worthless to give in that easy, we have can catch him by surprise after that hill over-”
“Yup. You will definitely surprise me with that one.” The ninja snarled, jerking the wire and slapping both the morons in the heads. He was beginning to wonder why he bothered to grab them. Like they could survive in the stealthy world of the ninja! But they had managed to steal from him the all mighty Alexander of Frankfurt! Noone had ever managed to pick his pocket before! And the loudmouth had somehow triggered a seal with almost no effort. It was a good thing they were almost to the village, as he was beginning to seriously consider terminating their “contracts" preemptively. The bamboo forest would be just over the next ridge.

"Moron..." Shikaku muttered, only a trace of anger passing through the word. Honestly he shouldn't have expected more from Timmy, distracting the ninja from his questions with his own... Timminess. After berating the, the ninja just pulled harder, nullifying any attempt Shikaku made to slow down, and bound as he was, slowing down anyways was no longer an option. He didn't particularly want to trade his hands for his freedom. Even as he started trying to think of a new escape though, they reached the apex of the ridge, and could finally see over the other side, and Shikaku couldn't help but grin. A forest lay spread out in front of them. The perfect terrain to disappear, if he managed to get free. And assuming of course the ninja didn't kill them before they got to it. Shifting to walk closer to Timmy, Shikaku jostled him a bit with his shoulder, before inclining his head towards the greenery ahead. "O takrem ritgy dni berdm rahye nudyer. Broxy zier. Gibbert xata." he muttered, sticking close to Timmy just long enough to pass the message and confirm it was received before shifting position again to place himself on the other end of the ninja, even as they descended to the forest. If he got his way, they would be free and on their way home very soon. Hopefully even Timmy couldn't mess this one up. [Exit to Forest] ✦ Chakra: [17/17]

Timmy listened quietly, walking behind the ninja at a relazed pace. "So bossman, what kind of work will we be doing? Ooh, are you going to open an evil baby orphanage? I'm not evil ya know. I swear. I dont ever take over the world or anything in the future. Dunno about shikaku, hes kinda quiet like, but pretty sure he doesnt take over the world either. Its too much work you see. Besides, who ever heard of a supervillian with red hair?" He raised his hands and tapped his hair for emphasis, an awkward maneuver with tied hands, before glaring at the man. "Fine then, perhaps you are a cannibal. Are you going to eat us alive, or kill us at your place to keep the meat fresh?" The ninja cringed visibly, a good sign. "I would guess I dont go to well with fava beans. Maybe refried beans or something. OOH can i be a taco?" Once more tham an slapped him in the head, this time harder than usual. "Okay, so you forgot how to speak. What you did just there was hit me." The man hit him once more. "Okay okay, try saying Apple. Aaapple. Its an easy word."
His ramblings took them to the very edge of the forest before the ninja turned around. "Right, so you gotta keep quiet in the forest. There are dangerous animals inside..."
