So bosses, how should we do the "summer season"? Should we just continue from the current stage? I kind of vote for that.
Ah yea, sorry for the wait - I had somehow agreed to take on a full-time work schedule for the last 10-ish days, so I had barely any energy left after I had survived the work-day :/

Posted though! Still fighting with how to get her into your little group, so far it is agreed that you guys will definitely have a little stalker.
Scarlet had long since finished the food she had, for once, acquired legally: the only thing left now was the small piece of bread she was slowly nibbling at without much thought of what she was doing. No, instead of focusing on her food as she would usually do, her focus was solely on the table across from her where the three men appeared to be greeting each other. She had been following their every move with her eyes since she had noticed them among the otherwise rather bland environment surrounding her in this tavern.
To be honest she wasn’t quite sure as to why they garnered such high interest for her, they just seemed… odd: like they didn’t actually know each other and that this was their first time they had ever met - which only fuelled her interest as to what sort of people they were.

Just go over there, I am sure they got a coin or two - they look like they can spare a few. The voice in her head commented with a tone that barely scratched interest.

“Shut it” Scarlet commented for a second time that day, though this time it was a mere mumble instead of a growl. While the small group did appear to be more financially endowed than her, it wasn’t that part that had caught her interest. They seemed to be different than the other parties around them, somehow the aura that the little group radiated something she couldn't quite put her finger on: somehow she just knew that she should follow them

Perhaps that is what people call ‘destiny’? she pondered for herself as she took another bite of the bread she had toyed with in her hands, either that, or I can just help them lose a bit of the cash in their pockets, she added with a mischievous smile painted on her thin face.
Nonetheless she wasn’t going to let them out of her sight.
I'm currently on a top secret mission that I cannot tell any on about concerning the recruitment if all the cats in the neighbourhood.

Crap I wasn't supposed to tell anyone about that...
Eh, guess I have to then... I will get started in a post tomorrow after work then.

Update: well I guess I messed that up, made the mistake of taking a short nap that turned into an all nighter... Will definitely look at it tonight after work.
Holy hell I posted O.O

Uh... Anyway, yea sorry for being absent over the weekend, my family and I was at a family gathering at my grandparents' house and they simply do not even know what "internet" is. So I wanted to quickly put a post up - sorry about the lacking quality, I just felt like I had to get one out before I go to bed ^^

Well then, I am off to bed.



PS. this looks awesome!
Ice cold eyes gazed down upon the chaos of the fight: the bodies were slowly soaking the ground with their blood and the air with the odour of their burning flesh as the Konoha ninjas were carving a bloody path through the warehouse. Naomi stood upon one of the many wooden beams high above the fighting: they were made out of heavy industrial material that played a key role in the structural integrity of the whole warehouse - and furthermore as they were positioned high above the ground they proved to be the perfect hiding spot for those that did not want to be noticed, but at the same time proved to be an excellent view-point to observe what happened below.
Hiding in the shadows Naomi kept a keen eye on on her fellow Chuunin below as Daiki, Yamato, Ao, Jaakuna, takeshi and even Paneru dispatched of hordes after hordes of what could best be described as low-life thugs.
As she sat upon one of the beams she reminisced of what had occurred since the meeting: as the tension had soured greatly with Yamato’s outburst of anger and killing intend the party had quickly broken up - most of the Chuunin had followed in his footsteps, but a few, including Naomi herself, Sentou, Haruka and others she couldn’t care less about had stayed behind. As far as Naomi went she hadn’t cared much for what happened, instead of participating she had rested her back and looked upon the blue sky that hid behind the green leaves that danced in the wind - lost in her own thoughts at the depth of her mind. It wasn’t until Sentou suddenly erupted from her otherwise calm behaviour that Naomi suddenly zoomed back into the real world - her eyes sharpened as she quickly located the sudden burst of chakra, sound and lightning.

Woah, she thought to herself, someone clearly needs to relax a bit more…

Though she didn’t appear to be much more shocked than a brief expression of alertness - instead she used the sudden disturbance to listen to what was going on around her: as most of the other Chuunin at the meeting had disappeared, the only few left seemed to coordinate some form of plan - though it wasn’t something that Naomi cared much for: she was better alone than in teams as they usually just slowed her down and became a burden.

“Oh well, might as well see what’s going on - can’t be much more boring than this…” she mumbled to herself before she closed her eyes for a brief moment and when she opened them again the vessels around her and inside of her eyes had drastically more noticeable than before - it wouldn’t take long for someone like her who possessed the powers of the Byakugan to track down the other Chuunin.

Without a word she disappeared into the thin air, using her prowess in the Body Flicker-technique to quickly escape and move great distances. Using the abilities of her white opaque eyes and her great speed it didn’t take her long to find the tracks of the other Chuuning and she quickly made her way to the warehouse where the fight had already started. Instead of joining in she decided to instead follow the events from the shadows, stalking the bloody fight high above the chaos below as her Byakugan captured every detail of what happened around her. She was silent and part of the shadows, a skill that most ninjas had learned, but something she had honed to a great extent during her years in the ANBU. As she followed the fight below it became clear to her that the thugs didn’t stand a chance, but it wasn’t as if they were completely helpless, no the sheer amount of warriors that the Chuunin faced had clearly worn down her fellow ninjas.

It was at this point that Naomi noticed Paneru who had suddenly changed her movements drastically: becoming much slower and seemingly worn down from the exhaustion of the battle - though as she focused her gaze upon him she saw the real cause of the problems: she appeared to suddenly have been wounded from the enemy’s kunais, her cloth already starting to soak up the blood from her wounds.

“Tch”, Naomi exhaled. Perhaps she couldn’t keep herself out of this - and as much as she couldn’t be bothered jumping into the battle, she felt enough responsibility to her fellow ninjas not to let them die if she could protect them. As she slowly got up from the crouched position she had been in since she arrived - but before she could join the battle a sudden burst of the signature noise of Chidori echoed through the air.
A small smile appeared on Naomi’s lips. It would appear that Sentou had appeared with her signature moves - and as she focused her vision towards the loud bursts of electricity she spotted Haruka as well.

Well, I guess I am not needed anyway she concluded and instead shifted her gaze towards the direction she had located the wounded Paneru escaping. Without a second thought she once again disappeared with little trace as she made her way out of one of the windows in the warehouse. It didn’t take long to locate her target: the blood had left tracks on the ground and even though her chakra was weak it was still visible to those with blessed eyes.

As she landed on the tree branch in front of the collapsed Paneru that had lost her consciousness due to the wounds shr had sustained in the battle. As she gazed down upon her unconscious body Naomi couldn’t help but shake her head and let out a sigh.
“I guess I better save his sorry life…” she mumbled as she reached for the medical kit she always wore on her and bent down to attend Paneru’s wounds.
//Character card will come later.

Naomi hadn’t cared much for her surroundings as she listened to the world around her. It wasn’t something she did out of interest, instead it was a habit of hers that she tended to do whenever she was bored: what better way to ignore something than to listen to the heartbeat of the life around you? She had continued to silently listen to what happened around her until her peace was disturbed by the idiot Yamato who hadn’t even replied to her text that she had put so much time into typing.

“Yo, idiot, Daiki just got in my face.”

His voice penetrated the background noise and made her mind focus on it easily, however she didn’t react to his comment and instead just enjoyed the moment – after all she knew that Yamato wouldn’t be annoyed by her silence. They sat like this for a short time, both of them just sitting next to each other without uttering a word and instead just watching the world pass by. It was a common behavior for the two and neither of them had seemed to care much about the silence that sometimes existed between them. However, it still bugged her that he hadn’t taken the time to reply to her message – how hard could it have been after all? She turned her attention to the person sitting next to her, but before she could open her mouth and speak the words that was on her mind they got interrupted.

"How about a friendly spar," A voice spoke out in front of them, a voice that after a quick glance Naomi confirmed belonged to Daiki. While her facial expression didn’t say anything, her inner thoughts were filled with annoyance and wonder: who would want to have a spar at a time like this? But of course she was wrong, apparently some would…

“Don't worry about the party being ruined..” Yamato spoke out as he got up from the bench next to her. Naomi was motioning to say something, but was stopped once again, this time by herself. She knew it wouldn’t matter much, Yamato was clearly going to fight and there was never anything she could do about that when he had that look in his eyes. Instead she simple leaned back against the wall and settled in for the upcoming match.

It wasn’t anything too exciting to write home about as the match had barely started before it was closed down by their fellow party-members. It seemed that she was not, in fact, the only one wondering why anyone would fight at a place like this – after all if they actually wanted to have a proper fight, why not do it in an official arena or somewhere private where no one would interfere with the fight?
As she sat and pondered over the idiocy of the fight, even after it had been canceled, Yamato had walked back to her and began speaking to her: “I'm gonna go home. I'll hang out with Reihana. Feel free to come, or stay here. Not much fun to stay here though.”
A small smile found its way onto Naomi’s face. She couldn’t agree more: this place really was just filled with idiots and it wasn’t much fun either. However before he would let her open her mouth Yamato had begun his trip home, leaving Naomi behind. She wasn’t sure what she was going to do, after all the reason why she had even showed up had just left. She could take up his offer to tag along, but she could also just head home – ‘luckily’ for her she didn’t have to make a decisions because a scream pierced the darkness of the night. Most of the Chuunin reacted as they were trained to do: they began to diverge towards the same location. Naomi had a similar response: she got up from the bench she had been sitting on all this time and quickly followed the lead of the others, however she did not end up in the same spot as the others. Instead she had decided to take to the trees high above the grounds as it gave her a better overview of what was around her. As she others converged at the same spot Naomi wasn't far behind, she came to a stop on a tree-branch that was thick enough to support her weight and began to analyze what had happened: it appeared to be a scene from a rather brutal fight: bodies lay in a pool of their mixed blood, they had been slain quickly and effectively it would appear – clearly the work of a professional. However what had drawn the attention of the other Chuunin was the body of a young girl with multiple kunais stabbed into her small frame and a grotesque longsword pierced through her body. It was clear that she had been the sole survivor, but it was just as easily clear to Naomi that she wouldn’t survive much longer. She had seen too many similar situations to know the outcome of what had happened.
Despite the horror that lay on the grounds in front of her, Naomi’s expression didn’t waver once: she kept a neutral facial-expression while her sharp eyes gathered all the analytical data she could with an ice cold gaze that pierced every detail she could: she might have looked too distanced from whole situation as if she had seen this before.
It was at this point that ‘The Sewstress appeared. She quickly took over the situation and ordered everyone to go home. While most chuunin might have wanted to show off their skills, Naomi didn’t: she was used to following the commands of her superiors so instead of wasting any more time she quickly used Body Flicker to disappear, leaving only the few leaves behind as trace of her existence as they fell towards the blood soaked soil below.

The next day Naomi was once again disrupted during her daily training by the sound of her phone ringing. It was a message from Aoi telling her to show up at a meeting – likely because of the events of last night, though you never knew with Aoi. Grumbling a bit Naomi slowly collected her stuff and began to prepare to go out. It was truly an annoyance to have a phone: it constantly interrupted you when you were busy and often for reasons that were so unimportant that it became nothing but a nuisance to have it on her.
Despite this she still followed ‘orders’ and before she got out of the house she picked up her usual jacket and headed towards the meeting spot in the Downtown part of Konoha.

Naturally she wasn’t surprised that when she showed up the others were already in full spirit: Ayame was on his way to devouring enough food to supply a small village, Panaeru looked like he had just been tossed through the air as his hair fell in a mess of threads from his head. She spotted Haruka sitting on a nearby couch and Aoi – the disturber of peace and quiet, Jaakuna and Daiko were the only people that seemed to be talkative this morning. As usual Yamato was acting like he was bored out of his mind.
Naomi made her presence clear with a simple “Good day” before she made her way over to Yamato at the outer edge of the hangout. She turned her front towards the others before she casually spoke.
“So,” she started out in a bored tone, “any idea of why we are here?”
Hey guys, sorry I havent been as active in the last two days. The reason is that I've got my semester project deadline coming up tomorrow so I've got less than zero energy when I get home at night... I will have a post up tomorrow, promise!
@Empath What is the codename for Naomi? I can't finish her data tag until I've got one. LOL


Uh... well, actually, that is a very very good question! Anyone got any ideas? ^^
