When: January 23rd
Who: Team Shisui Members
Notes: During the Kiri Chunin Exam Sephiroth runs over a couple people he thought weren't going to be there.
It was a cloudy day, and that suited him just fine, as it dimmed down the sunlight to something a bit more bearable. It also meant that being off rotation left him without much to do as he felt uncomfortable with the notion of training with so many strangers in the village.
Of course, that meant he was in the perfect position to make his way toward a familiar face when he spotted it, more than interested in satisfying his curiosity about them being here.

ninjaindianajonesWho: Mika and Masa, this can only go well.
What: Sometimes you just gotta be cool and go to the market for no real reason other than to look at people. Or get groceries.
When: April 11th, two years prior to game start
The weather was a little brisk, some might even say it was nippy for that time of year. All Mika knew was that they weren't too pleased with the temperature. Their birthday was approaching and it was never too early to get some ideas for favors and food. One thing Mika loved was planning parties, so their own birthday was the best excuse to go all out.
Having filled one bag with produce Mika decided to grab something from one of the street vendors. The smokey and rich scent of grilled meat was too enticing. Their stomach was already protesting loudly.
"Two beef kebabs please.~" They smelled wonderful and the vegetables were cooked just right. Mika couldn't help popping a beef cube in their mouth and nearly burning themselves. Whoops.

pursuitoftruthWho: Nanako and Masanori
When: Backdated to Mid-January, during the Chunin Exams (will update a more specific date later)
Where: Kirigakure
Notes: Masa gets lost, and then found.
The village felt swollen. It wasn't the kindest or the most poetic of phrases, but it was one that fit; the village was like a river growing fat and overflowing after monsoon season, blurring the boundaries and bends she was used to seeing. It had been a while since she was last surface-side, and Nanako was honestly enjoying herself. Of course, that might have something to do with he fact that she was getting to play exhibitionist, for once. Few people knew just who she was or what her capabilities were, and it went without saying that her mastery of torture wasn't something that could be used publicly to drum up much business, without scaring away even more customers.
Still, that Yagura had been talked into allowing something like this... Nanako might be inclined to make a joke about him going soft in his old age, if it wouldn't get somebody killed, more likely than not.
Her new summons was just the right type of 'needlessly grandiose' and visually impressive to catch people's attention. From there, Nanako made a game of it, flipping expertly through the air, touching down on the first massive, offered appendage of the kraken only long enough to spring back up, over to the next limb raising out of the deep. Again, and again, with the odd, subtle genjutsu worked in, until she finished her act and landed, standing with graceful poise on top of the waves as the giantseamonster was dismissed.
She smiled genially at the crowd of civilians until they dispersed, waiting until only a few curious foreigner shinobi were left before she sauntered back to shore.

Cookie day [OPEN]
Mar. 25th, 2015 01:28 pmsheisthesunshineWhere: Konoha, strictly speaking somewhere in the middle of the village, but she'll roam once she's done.
When: March 25th, afternoon
Who: Rin and whoever comes by
Notes: Every day should be cookie day. Every day is not cookie day. Today is cookie day because Rin happens to have supplies and declares it is.
Today was a free day. She wasn't working at the hospital, and she'd schemed up as much as she'd felt like doing already as far as finding challenges Gai would appreciate for his rite of team passage.
It just so happened that a friend of hers had received more supplies than they'd meant to, and didn't have anything to do with it, given their limited storage. For a short while, Rin, too, wasn't really sure what to do with all the foodstuffs dropped into her arms by the harried woman.
Eventually, though, she went by a house where someone else was making something sweet, and latched onto an idea to spend both her day and her sudden windfall of supplies on. It had been such a long time since she'd been able to bake anything, after all!
She started the project in the late morning, after recruiting a passing Uchiha to help her set up an outside base of operations (she'd never get it all done with her own oven in her house), and by afternoon the smell of fresh baked cookies began to permeate the streets of mid-Konoha.
...There were one or two burned cookies, but those were snuck away to eager looking Inuzuka hounds. The rest though, were soft and warm and decorated in colorful sugar sparkles, set up on borrowed tables in the street.
"...Oh, I need a sign!" She clapped her hands, and looked around the street for a suitable helper for the task.

Where: Konohagakure
When: March 10th onwards into infinity.
Her aim is simple: If she's going to be living in Konoha for the foreseeable future, she should introduce herself to the other villagers. To achieve this, she heads out every morning after greeting Sakumo-ojisan and the others with Kakashi, setting out into the village proper on her own to meet as many people as she can.
She starts with shops and businesses, but passers-by are just as much fair game for a bow and a chirped introduction as the shopkeepers. With a bright, "Hello, excuse me!" and a bob, she'll try to stop them.
This mission only ends when she's introduced herself to every citizen of Konoha. That said, this mission will never end.

Mar. 19th, 2015 05:51 amwind_and_whirlWho: Kazue and Karin
When: March 19th
Where: Sunagakure
It was quickly becoming too common an occurrence, these courier missions between points in Wind. While Kazue was good and well aware that they served an important purpose in the day to day operations of the village, and that it was entirely her fault for utilizing her speed and proving so quick to move between the desired points when she had initially been handed such missions a week ago, the simple monotony of them saw her bored and restless upon her return to the village, nevermind consistently hungry. Unbearable, those constants and the schedule that yielded them, which saw her come to the conclusion that it would be necessary to put in a word as she sat near the receptionist's desk and waited for the necessary notification of completion and hopefully not another exchange to run.
Of course, it would be more than a word in this case, but especially if she came into the knowledge that her sensei had had anything to do with this. Seeing her subjected to extended couriers to foreign countries tended to be more up his alley, but it wouldn't have surprised her if the man had had a hand in this. Perhaps volunteering her for the work in place of someone else for some near inexplicable and rather poor reason? In any case that concerned him, it would be deemed an intentional interruption and grudged appropriately. A challenge was forgivable. Saddling her with work well beneath her level of skill without good reason was not as far as Kazue was concerned.
Giving her nails a glance, she reached to give the increasingly impatient tanuki puppet atop her shoulder a ginger pat on the head. The sound of any door opening and closing was sure to draw her eyes and something of a look with it for her growing appetite. Just how much longer are they going to take?

Mar. 19th, 2015 04:36 amwind_and_whirlWho: Kazue and Temari
When: March 15th
Where: Sunagakure
The past week and some change had been eventful or so it had felt to Kazue despite that said events had applied more directly to certain people who had become something like consistent presences in her life. Gaara, in his proper body, had been returned the village and present for several days without incident, which saw Kazue's steps lighter for the surety she had gained about his status and health since that time. That had involved a lot of circling, visual inspection, and rapid poking to ascertain for herself whether or not his defense was at its peak that had terminated in some measure of relief the extent of which she had yet to wholly realize. Even so, it continued to show in small imperceptible ways, like the energy that flared with each and every step the red-haired kunoichi took in the aftermath of a simple courier mission within Wind. It showed more prominently in others, but especially where it concerned the tanuki puppet atop her shoulder, who was now upbeat as opposed to ridden with anxiety and a tendency to sulk as it was some five days ago.
Funny, the timing of that. She had received some comment about it from a familiar face or two in passing, but she hadn't thought much of it then and she didn't think much of it as she took her leave of the office. The reply from the outpost had been delivered and her afternoon was free for her speed in seeing the task done, which left her with the question of what to do next. It was nearly lunch. Her breakfast had been spent for her efforts and it wasn't practical to train on an empty stomach, a thought interrupted by some rigorous agreement by Takkun, who was nearly dancing on her shoulder for his insistence.
"Lunch it is then," she said, and with that turned for the bustling Suna streets.
Really, the only question left to answer was the matter of where to.

Grounded [Open]
Mar. 13th, 2015 12:46 amnotveryspecialWhere: Somewhere in Konoha
When: March 8th
Notes: Sakura is injured and stuck in Konoha instead of getting to go out on missions or do things. It's bothersome.
She wasn't in the best of moods. In Ame, she couldn't really spend much time or focus on training, both because it would appear suspicious and because she was simply busy. When she'd returned to Konoha, once all the procedures were finished with making certain she wasn't compromised or anything like that, she'd gone to make up for the time lost training.
Maybe there wasn't a point to continue to train and push herself now that she'd made Jounin and there was nowhere further for her to go. She didn't know what else to fill her time with, though, and even if she passed the Jounin test, she still felt her abilities weren't what they could be.
She'd been experimenting with incorporating her summons into her style and jutsus, and exhausted herself more than she'd realized. Her injured leg was the result of that. It wasn't so bad that medical jutsu couldn't heal it at all...but it was enough to leave her stuck in the village unable to train properly and incapable of taking other missions for the better part of a month.
It was difficult to say whether it was a blessing that it was during her recovery that her two old teammates were assigned on a mission without her. After all, she could sulk over her injury and blame that, rather than face questions of whether she'd been split from her team completely now.
Making her a diplomat so that she could never go on missions with her old team again was far too much trouble. As much as the hokage enjoyed making her suffer, going that far out of his way was somewhat excessive when she'd done nothing personally against him to earn such ire. But if it weren't true, then it seemed just as likely she would have accompanied her teammates (where she belonged) on that mission if not for her leg.
What a bother.
She sighed and sat on a nearby bench along the road. It wasn't because she particularly wanted to enjoy the scenery or watch people move...but if she didn't take a break, she'd probably start to limp again, and that would only be more frustrating.
She wasn't really in a good mood at all this month.
