Welcome to Gaia! ::

Rei walked through the housing district with a brisk walk. He was pretty excited to get the mission started. He had been especially anxious, due to his long down time due to the effects of the Tailed-beast ritual. Although not very noticeable, Rei had a somewhat larger bounce in his step. He hadn't planned to get a Jounin for a few more weeks, let alone go on a mission with his new team-mates. Then again, Rei was also easily excitable. Rei clenched his fist in excitement, and headed towards the Kage's office.

He wasn't sure how far behind the other ninja were, as he had taken off as soon as the Jounin had told them their instructions. Rei looked around, turning his head left and right to see if he could spot any of his team mates. He was sure they couldn't be that far from him. Before he knew it he had lost sight of his jounin as well. He figured that Rei was probably slowing him down anyways. They all knew where to go, and it'd be easier if they just met up, rather than try to all walk together. Rei eventually gave up, and continued on his way.

As Rei dashed along the city's streets, he lost his concentration on his surroundings. This made Kori's sudden voice a bit startling to Rei, causing him to trip over his feet. Luckily for Rei, he was a little quicker to react then most, so he was able to catch himself mostly. Conversely, luck didn't fight gravity for him. His maneuver consisted of a quick roll, landing him flatly on his back. Rei's face struck a grimace as a pain shot through his back. Dust now covered his back, which he did his best to dust off as he stood up before replying to his new teammate.

"Hey Kori. Sorry you kind of startled me." Rei said with a somewhat embarrassed look on his face. "I guess I haven't really noticed too big of a difference. Well, that is besides the increase in chakra, the somewhat irrational thoughts, and the fact that I feed a need to constantly talk to myself. But yeah, besides that I'm guess I'm fine now. I guess the worse of it has passed. The two weeks following the ritual I was pretty useless, and kind of messed up, but now I'm fine." Rei finished his explanation while rubbing the back of his head nervously.


He didn't mind explaining the process, but in a way he was still slightly embarrassed about the whole thing. Ninjas were very partial to show weaknesses, and up to this point, this had been his weakest point.

"Tch... I don't see anyone obvious." Taiyou said to himself. He stood just inside an ally alongside a street that connected to the town center, watching carefully for this supposed package and the person who was delivering it. While scanning, he caught glimpse of light blue hair. He recognized her as one of his teammates, but didn't give a second look. He only continued to scan the center impatiently.
"Grah.. I guess I'll just get closer." he said in annoyance, walking towards the town center and stopping in it.
Villager after villager walked by, chattering to each other about their daily toils. The sheer volume of people moving around him so close almost made him feel as if he were suffocating. He felt his face sharpening in irritation.

Turning his head, Taiyou noticed someone in particular. Mostly the flowers he seemed to be holding. Taiyou almost skipped right over him until he noticed that the man seemed to be looking for someone.
Alright... let's get this over with. he thought while walking closer to the man. He stopped a couple feet away, eyes fixed on him.
"You the guy?" he queried blandly, obviously wanting to get right to the point.

Taiyou stood there for almost a minute, eyes fixated on the direction the man disappeared in. He felt like the entire interaction blurred by, and he was suddenly strapped with a very odd delivery to a different village.
He felt a bead of sweat roll down his cheek. Slowly, he lowered his head, setting his eyes on what he now held in his hand. Flowers. His mind was blank.
After another short moment of trying to process the situation, he let out a soft sigh and grudgingly began walking towards the village gates.
Dammit.. I almost think I should have just gone with the others...
After a few steps, he immediately paused in place. His expression expanded into a look of shock. Then, as quickly as it came on, it was replaced with sheer frustration and he continued walking.
That b*****d Raikage... He set this up on purpose. This stupid flower crap.. I bet it was all on purpose just to piss me off for not going along with his stupid mission!
Taiyou was too flustered to notice the varying expressions of amusement, confusion, and even worry at the site of a young ninja with a fairly muscular build walking down the streets with a noticeably angry expression... while holding flowers.

Script walked into the housing district with his hands in his pockets and his new mission on his mind. 'Is it really this simple too send only me?' he thought, 'Well, I really hope so. But knowing my luck I'll be ambushed for something.' He let a slight laugh escape at his thoughts and looked up to the sky. His dark glasses reflecting the rays of the sun and its warmth grazing the bare skin of his face, Script grew an enjoying grin. 'I'd better stop by the house and grab some stuff for the road.'

Script walked through the front door of his home and called for his parents. No one answered. "Well the must have gone out somewhere." he said to himself. He grabbed a small sheet of paper and a pen and marked on it. "I've just gotten assigned my first mission. Delivery mission to Iwagakure, I'll be back soon.- With love, Script-'

Script then walked into his room and retrieved from his drawers: Kunai, shuriken, and paper bombs. He stuffed them inside of his tool pouches and filled his canteen with water and left his house to the village gate.
