1st String || {Action in Three parts}

[Action; Locked to Lee (Possibly Neji if he wants)]

[The last thing Kankuro could remember was bright light coming thorough the gaps in Kuroari from the entrapped Edo Tensai revived Deidara. It wasn't blinding, but it was bright enough that he had put up his arm to shield his vision. Hopefully that light meant that someone had managed to find Kabuto and dissolve the Edo Tensai jutsu.

However that didn't explain why his surrounds were suddenly much more confined and dark than the outdoor forest. In fact it felt a lot like the inside of Kuroari, if taller and more square.]


What the hell?

[Kankuro waved his hand through the space in front, only for something smooth and cloth-like to brush against the bare skin of his arms. The tips of his fingers brushed against smooth wood and he blinked in the dark. His mind raced, wondering if he had somehow been trapped in a genjutsu when distracted by the light show. He quickly put his hands together to dispel.]

Kai!

[Not a damn thing changed. Kankuro cursed even as he backed up, trying to put something solid at his back. He felt wood against his bare back, and pressed against it, eyes darting. the smooth cloth was still on his arms, partially entangled due to his rapid movements to dispel earlier. He tried to pull it off, grumbling at the green fabric. It was then he noticed the slivers of light coming from behind him, like daylight through the cracks in a door which had allowed him to notice the color of the cloth. Just as he came to this realization something at his back gave the faint click and the wood at this back opened, sending a startled Kankuro falling backwards, slightly entangled in green spandex octopus arms clothing.]

Holy-[THUD.
...
... Ouch, that had to smart. Ninja he may be, but sometimes even ninja's reflexes fail.]



[Later Action in CH 1, Ninja Floor; Floor 4.]

[Congratulations floor 4, you now have an irritated, shirtless, face-paint less, Kankuro sitting in your kitchen.

Approach the Puppet master/mysterious dude at your own risk.

Reactions may vary per customer shinobi.]


[Even Later Later Action.]

[After getting up to speed on the weirdness which is Luceti, Kankuro finally leaves CH 1. It's off to the Clothing Shop to find his clothes, If you stumble across him before he get his clothing, you'll find a rather hunched but moving figure, briskly trying to keep his arms warm and cursing snow, damp and general cold with a fervent passion.

Once dressed for the weather Kankuro then heads over to the Item shop to look for his makeup face paint and puppet scrolls.

Those tasks complete, he may stop by the Grocery Store more out of curiosity than anything else before heading back to CH1.]


((ooc; Kankuro is FACEPAINTLESS until he finds it at the store Or until Temari lets him wear her lipstick on his face. So even if your character knows him they may not recognize him. Obvious expection are those who've seen him without it before.))

[ Kirk looked down and grinned sheepishly. ]

Yeah, let's make like ghosts and disappear.

[ You know, because they're all white and stuff from the flour? What, it was funny in his head. He motioned for Kankuro to follow him and hurried out, patting his shirt down as he went, leaving a puffed trail of white behind him. Whoops. ]

And I don't think Luceti has an orphanage, so that's one threat crossed off the list.

[ Tenten isn't appreciating Kankuro's anger. Until he gets to the simile. At which point, Tenten just shrugs. ] Well, then you can make it into a steel explosive. You know, I don't appreciate your attitude about this. I'm careful with things I have to take out and down. I mean, I have to take out my weapons without marring a corpse further. [ That's a Very Strong Ninja Order. ] I'm sorry the chakra strings may not work, but, if you need any help, I'd be willing to aid you. I mean, I have razor wire you can use to modify it, if you want. I knew if I destroyed your puppets, Temari would kill me, and that would defeat the point of taking your weapons so I was careful! Anyways, I think you'll love the replacement part. Let me see if I can get it out of my scroll... [ She takes out a small scroll, which opens up to a large scroll, which releases yet another scroll, which seems to release another scroll of another size. This goes on for about four more times, producing various sized and shaped scrolls until she gets to the last one. Of course, this being Kankuro and Luceti, Tenten will just keep going through scrolls until Kankuro makes some sort of impatient remark.

ooc: you don't need to alert me for headcanon when I'm playing Tenten of all people! Don't worry about it! I'm totally fine! This makes sense! ]
generalflirt: (Where or Why?)

[personal profile] generalflirt 2013-04-14 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
Yeup. Not sure why she did, but it was around Valentines, so maybe she thought there was too much pink in the in the world. That's always a thing which some girls thing, riiight?

[And he laughs because that's clearly a hilarious joke. And he now turns his head to fake Kankuro more head on fore-]

So who're you?
medicalpunch: (Default)

it's all cool, I'm glad you're back!

It doesn't seem like it; from what I understand, she's been here for several months already without any incident. As has Itachi.

[Which feels a little surreal, really; to simply coexist with two members of Akatsuki, including one who is a specific enemy of Konoha, one of their own, seems like something that should never happen. And yet, here they are.]

It might be that there's simply nothing for them to accomplish here.

Well, most are surprisingly used to that sort of thing, but all the same. No point in pressing my luck.

[Or giving away his abilities. Old habits and all.

He leaves Kankuro to his searching, not really much for idle chatter himself and also having no desire to make the young man any more uncomfortable than he already has.

Just as soon as he can find something suitable for himself, he'll leave.]

[Lee gives a nod of confirmation. Neji got this.]

It is he says. It is certainly a very unfortunate situation. But at least we have many allies here in this village.

[And Neji nods, agreeing with Lee.]

It's an uncomfortable position to be in. But we are among friends, and our needs -- save liberty -- are generally seen to. The cage is filled with comforts, at least, if it must be a cage.

[Which is no reason to be happy about it. But at least there's little actual suffering. That's... a mercy, he supposes.]

[She just shakes her head a bit at his comments. Yeah, family weakness. The point was driven home fairly spectacularly; she's still not very great with it all, all things considered. She's had to relearn how to have a conversation and fighting? Oh, God, but figuring out how to keep tabs on everything around her without the use of her hearing has been a bit of trial and error.

...Not too much error. It is Temari, after all.

She stops, eyes him, and gives him a Look at his question: raised brow, pursed lips, and generally unamused.]


You know, you could have asked for that first. [She chucks her thumb over her shoulder.] But yeah. Back in my apartment. Just across the hall.
weaponry: (There's nothing funny about)

[personal profile] weaponry 2013-04-27 02:43 am (UTC)(link)
[ Thank god Kankuro didn't lunge for Tenten. She's armed to the (literal) teeth right now.

Tenten ignores his comment with a brief, noticeable eyeroll. She then summons something, finally. It looks something like a fan. The spaced out spines between the fan have been replaced with sharp knives. The spaces between the fingers have been modified to look like the barrel of a gun (not that Kankuro has ever seen one). The palms seem swelled for some mysterious reason, and there's a sheer cover over a hole. ]


I made this! Check it out! [ HEY KANKURO... CATCH...

Actually no, just kidding, she'll hand it out to him. ]

[Of course it winds up being a caged bird metaphor. But luckily none of them are late enough yet for the depressing context.]

Yes, that is true. This place is still merciful compared to many prisons that I have heard of at home. We can still train here and live as youths, as bound as we are!

Except when they drag us out to go fight for them, of course. [Or when they volunteer, but that's another matter.]

Though I suppose it's little different from home, when you set aside the details.
