The villagers, each of them scared, hurt to various degrees and cold regarded Shizuka with silent horror. Had he actually just decided to up and leave them with the vague promise of 'help will come...

OOC: Been extraordinarily busy on my end, so I haven't had the opportunity to actually post over the last week. I'll get something up today though, promise. Even if Shika hasn't posted. >_>;

Well, surely there would be missing-nin capable of training lower-level missing-nin. Or hell, they could probably figure it out themselves if they had an idea of what they were trying to do. After...

Just...y'know. Some thoughts from everyone's favorite CEO pertaining to the subject.

RAAWR!! FINAL FANTASY THEMED NAME!!! .... Oh wait, I own Masamune. Carry on then. >.>

Also, yeah. This looks fine. Nothing to see here. @_@

Sariso, seeing the relative success of his purging the area in front of the great wall of flame, took a moment to glance at the person who decided to give him command of the unit. Command of a unit?...

OOC: As promised, here is the 'worse' listing on the possible threats to be posed to you guys. What? You didn't think I'd make this easy did you?

Elsewhere...

A loud sigh echoed throughout a...

OOC:

Gonna have to agree with Shizuka here, when it comes to the arm Schyth. Such an operation would be risky even in a fully functional ER with a bunch of highly trained Med-nin presiding over...

>_> Sounds like french toast.

OOC: My most sincere apologies, both for the tardiness of this post, and for its brevity and general lack of quality. At the moment, I'm functioning on two and a half hours of sleep for the past...

Huh. Reading through the archives and I come across an approved C-rank mind reading technique that doesn't require ANBU Black Ops training.

Y'know, I should add it to my profile just to give the...

Right, thanks then. @_@ Mine hasn't seen a revamp since 2009, and has been suggested to be underpowered. Just wanted to know before I wasted a lot of time trying to revamp it.

"And so, with realization, ignorance was banished and replaced with despair."

All I can say is "Good luck and don't die!" ^^;

On a somewhat, but not completely, related question, can Bloodlines be revamped at any time, or does a Bloodline Contest need to be open at the time?

... *looks up thread*

OH SHI-!

You're having a 'friendly spar' with Hitsumi!?

You're a dead, dead Academy Student. Even I have reservations about fighting Hitsumi. @_@

Smaaaart.

'Course, Schyth did elect to take a hit from a B-rank ninjutsu. And wanted it to happen... >.>

You're just being suicidal. And might get hit by an A-rank if you reeeeally make that...

Awww, c'mon. D= I'm not that scary.

...

*hides Schyth's arm*

Well. Guess I still haven't lost my touch. First job NPCing since I've been back and I've already blown off an academy student's arm.

Still got it. *waves around Schyth's arm*

OOC: Yep. That's correct, it explodes shortly after death. All shall be made clear, in time. Also, ow.

OOC: Why, Schyth! Thanks for volunteering! Of course, whether or not your arm is maimed beyond repair is completely up to you. I'm but the NPCer, I don't control what happens to you, only the...

Technically, you don't have a full stamp yet, so no. This isn't ready.

Except 1/3 Stamp.

NOW you're ready. ^_^

OOC: Forgive me, for this... will probably be messy. I've tried re-reading this time and again and this is the best I can come out with while trying to remain fair to everyone. If you have questions,...

They've got... I think it's up to 8x AA?

I don't think that pic represents that in action though. Looked...less edgy on my screen. *shrugs*
