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.))

[ It was really was, though needs must, right? ]

I suppose you could always take it out to one of the rivers and do it there, but yeah, beat it first. Look at you, all Martha Stewart.

Oh, right, different worlds... um, okay, Martha Stewart was this woman, way back when, and she was always famous for household things like decorating or cleaning tips. She's kind of obscure in my time, but I had a lot of time to kill between finals some nights.

A woman, who according to historical records, was incredibly rich and whose advice usually worked.

[ Oh please, manly ego much? Well, okay, he had that sometimes too, but still - manly ego much? ]

Between you and me, for a lot men, it does. Well, I say a lot of men, but there's a good chunk that are amazing at it. I'm not one of them, as my teenage room will prove.

[ Typical teenage boy - every parent's wall damaging nightmare. ]

[Yeah, he'll find her in agreement with that sentiment. She wasn't well-off in the power department before and she's even worse now, so it doesn't do her much good when someone with overwhelming power is knocked back merely to 'significant.']

Let's just hope he never does, and leave it at that.

[ ooc: it was!

Tenten smugly smiles at Kankuro's reaction. She shakes her head a bit. ]


How'd you like that? You know, the empty part of the hand is where the explosive shrapnel goes, so don't try pulling on that in case of an emergency. [ The bomb. Not a paper tag. A bomb. ]

I wouldn't put it past them, but I have not asked about those myself.

[He'll leave that up to the teen. It's doubtful that Kakuro is a threat, but if he is then Itachi has confidence in the capabilities of those currently present to handle it.]

They create far more complicated tools than those, so I don't believe it would be a problem.

A lot, actually... I've been here a few months now and I'm still getting it all figured out.

Shikamaru can give you a good debriefing, he's been here for a long time. Sometimes... strange things happen. Shifts, we call them. Supposedly there are experiments that are going on to try and get us home, but it feels more like someone is playing pranks at our expense. Thankfully, they're fairly rare though.

action, ninja kitchen!! it's fiiiine <3

Why, did they say the same thing?

[Whatever Kankuro's reasons are, Ino won't hear them. Because really, there's no better excuse when you disregard fashion sense, okay?]

Alright, I'll stop by the clothing shop later, anyway. Might as well grab them too.

You have to be creative with weapons! It's the only way to get a leg up on some jutsu users, you know? It's strategy that's important when you're dealing with these guys. [ Highest intelligence stat on Team Guy ftw! ]

Tossing it will explode a metal bomb that's made up of several kunai. A bunch of sharp shrapnel will fly into the opponent after the explosion, so it's only to be used in emergencies, or if you have that one really big defensive puppet.

[ He pauses, staring at him like he was fairly sure Kankuro was about to grow a second head or speak in tongues. ]

I'm sorry, did you just say "acid-paste"? Who gives a kid acid-paste that can get mixed up with paint?!
