So I know its not exactly a fun subject to talk about buuuuut:Any ideas on how to replace Kamiria. I was just going to godmod her for awhile but honestly we're about to go into a mission so this might become problematic especially if I start to introduce any NPCs or anything.Did anyone wanna take control of Kamiria until the missions over? Preferably someone who wouldn't completely mess up the character's personality.

Probably just godmod her and then somewhere find a time and place to drop her? Right now she is a NPC. No need to bend and twist around or try to do anything complicated.

guys im so lost that i don't know what and where to post. can someone give me a quick run down of wats happend because this rp seems to be moving really fast.

Euhm, what part is going too fast then? Team 9 (Hiron, Shikaroku and Masami) haven't done really anything. Others keep posting and working (as they should), but those three which Mia have a connection with are just participating the Exams and actually have finished their matches days ago. I think even a week or two? You can either be in Amegakure, trying to interact with your team members or so who wish to meet up with Mia etc. Or I can simply try to give you a solo mission.

Bullshit. None of you ever did a thing for me, and that's why I had nothing to do but sit around and wait for a month.Frankly, yes, this is the best solution, because I'll never have my time wasted by Lesli or you ever again :)

Quite sad that you had to leave with saying it in probably an angry tone. That and pointing that me and Les wasted your time. It was a decision that more had their say in it. I still don't like making decisions like this and the only reason why I react back to this angry response is only to make it clear that being the organizer and the one who decides to take the piss job of being a jerk of following up a set of rules that have been confirmed and accepted by most of the current players. I am sorry if this makes the tone and atmosphere a bit grim, but it has to be done. The words to wish you fun and luck on your way were genuine and I seriously hope that you will not be frozen and thus experience the same thing over again, with staying just silent. Though whether you mean it or not, I do think it is now indeed the best solution.

I am sure it is neither a consolation towards you or anybody else who reads this, but I am sorry for the decision. However, it must be made cause else it will just start to frustrate or get nowhere. Again, have fun out there and for what is it worth, I apologize to everybody who has to read through this. Now,

Let continue, aye?
We got a rampaging beast in Kirigakure, Chuunin exam in Amegakure and a lot more on the way. :)
Probably also got to survive the coming winter, cause it is damn cold outside. D:

Or is that just me

Naruto : The Rise of The New Generations

After speaking with some GM's, we have decided it might be better to have say goodbye Cuco. Nothing personal, but coupled with inactivity and hearing nothing (as we for a long time don't chase people anymore. After all, investing time in people who don't try to do the same in letting us know if they want to be part of the RP is something we don't do anymore. Certainly not when a lot of us are busy in this time of the year.)

We will not just kill your characters, but respectfully put them in the background as I think just killing them off would be a wrong act. I will perhaps pm and talk with Gamer to see how we can proceed that. Thank you for the time you were here and we wish you all the luck and joy.

-G.

Because no one would've cared. The people that are relevant to my characters are the people *I* have been waiting on all this time. Gamer Geek needs no explanation, and I have no idea if j8cob plans on doing anything with Team Keiko. My characters weren't in anyone's way or anything.

As that might be, I remember that I had kind of warned you in the past about being inactive and this situation is what I consider a bit of the same. Though you have a point of not being in the way or freezing up people, it is still better to let it be known you're around. But I will ask the other GM's in the GM chat what their opinion is on the matter and then will pm you the final decision. :)

Just because I stopped using Skype doesn't mean I'm not still around. It's not as though I could've posted anything this whole time, you know >.>

Neither have let it be known that you were still active. I will see what the majority of the GM's think of it and then will make a final decision. Though considering how long you have been a member of the RP, I think it is quite known that if we know nothing, that we assume that the person has left or gone MIA. Even if one is quite busy (be it work or some personal situation), letting it be known that you're busy in the OOC, PM or Skype is a way to prevent a situation like this.

Hopefully Glitchy and Cuco haven't given up on me. I've posted.Honestly you could chalk up my lack of posting to laziness but I also feel as if I'm less driven to post recently. I don't know why I feel less driven but I kinda am. I enjoy posting but it just seems like posting always gets pushed further back in the toy box everytime I have something else to do. I've been working a lot lately, been going to school full time, been messing around with my oculus rift dk2 (which is awesome!) and in general just staying busy.Believe it or not if I'm not sleeping for my designated 5 to 6 hours (thats all I can really get) or working my designated 8 or 9 hour shifts or sitting in class from roughly 5pm to 10pm then I'm typically doing homework or honestly just trying to relax cause of the busy week. Oh well, aint no rest for the wicked and what not. Hope Glitchy and Cuco enjoy the post and I apologize ahead of time for the inevitable 3 to 5 week wait before my next post. Who knows? Maybe I'll get a post out sooner then I have been lately.I still feel I'm holding Glitchy and Cuco back with my long periods of not posting, so once again, sorry for that.

Was a good post, but Cuco went kind of MIA, so we had her removed. If you want then we can look together at how we can fix this in the IC.

Naruto : The Rise of The New Generations

A Hon and Uchiha,
Team 8's participants together.

A collab between Sketcher and Gerontis.

Summary :
Koike and Katsu meeting each other after their matches.

The two team members

Walking into his room, Koike used the towel to dry his hair. Sighing, he briefly thought about the odd behavior of Yukara and then shrugged. He wouldn't hold it up against her or do something with it. Though it was a bit strange as he couldn't place a reason with the change of behavior. After Koike got dressed, he realized that he hadn't checked if Katsu's match was already over. A bit worried, Koike quickly grabbed his gear and don it on before he would leave his room. Opening the door, he thought he had some other door close. His head went to the door he had suspected. Katsu's room. For a moment, Koike pondered if he should check it or try to head towards the field where Katsu's match would be.

Walking towards the door, Koike knocked several times on it. Waiting for an answer, he shoved his hands into the pockets of his pants. He was wondering how Katsu's match would have gone. Perhaps his friend and team member had done it better than him. That would be something worth to celebrate, with pastries, Koike thought with a smile.

Katsu was sitting on his bed in the dark, his worn out clothes neatly folded and piled up on the small desk along with his weapons. He was wearing some comfortable clothes, a short black robe tied around his waist, though it only reached that far. He was also wearing some shorts down to his knees, his feet naked. He heard the knocking on the door a few times before he remembered to get up and open it. "Who is it?" he demanded, leaning his back on the wall to the side of the door.

Seems that his guts were right. ''Make an educated guess.'' Koike said back. If Katsu was indeed in his room then that meant he had ended his match. ''Weirdo.'' Koike said, sounding quite amused. He was hoping that his friend had some luck with his match. Who knew? Maybe they would even face each other in the second round? Thinking about that, he found that actually interesting.

The boy slid the door open, revealing his face to the light of the corridor. There was a bandage sticking onto his nose, stretching across one cheek to the other. Around the area, one could see some purplish spots. He smiled upon seeing his friend standing outside. He looked him up and down, looking for wounds. A grin formed on his face. "Come on in! I wanna hear about your match!"

Koike wavered. He noticed the bandage and spots. Slowly raising his hand, Koike scratched his temple. Maybe Katsu's match went a bit rougher than his own. ''Thanks.'' Koike said as he would enter Katsu's room. ''But my match wasn't exciting.'' Koike shrugged. ''I used poison and the Hyuuga fell right for it. Though he tried to fight even while I offered him to forfeit. Twice.'' He told it with a slight annoyed voice, cause Koike had found it annoying. Who was smart enough would continue to fight when their chance of winning was diminshed so much that it was painfully clear it was futile. ''How are you?''

"Beat up," he answered, grinning childishly. He shut the door behind Koike and walked towards the bed once more, sitting on it. "Remember the poison you gave me during the mission? That came in handy... My opponent was stronger, probably more experienced than I was but for some reason he was just bluntly attacking at first. Destructively... If it weren't for the poison, you'd probably need a spatula to scrape me off the field!" Realizing he was getting sidetracked, he continued. "In the end, my match was a draw."

''A draw, huh?'' Koike said as he sat on the edge of the bed. He found it a bit disappointing at first, but then he could see it was still an achievement. Grinning as well, Koike decided to see if he could cheer Katsu a bit up. ''That is way better than my first chuunin exam match. That was a loss for me. And against somebody who I wouldn't be able to count as experienced.'' Koike leaned a bit forward, with his arms on his legs as he glanced around before back at Katsu. ''I am glad that the poison worked well in your advantage.'' Then he remembered something and laughed out loud. ''But don't tell Yukara that. She... Well.'' He stopped to laugh and frowned. ''She slapped me earlier cause I used poison against my opponent.''

Katsu froze upon hearing what had happened. After a moment passed, his cheeks were filled with air, his lips were holding one another back, stifling a laughter. "She... She slapped you?" Unable to contain himself any longer, the boy bursted into tears, dropping himself on his bed as he kicked the air, laughing violently. All the while Koike half glared at the laughing Uchiha. Scoffing, Koike looked the other way. He hadn't told Katsu about the hug and the blush, which was still surprising and strange for Koike. Something he didn't understand. ''Be careful that you won't bruise yourself more, Katsu.'' Koike grumbled.

After a few more seconds than expected, Katsu's laugh slowly died away. "Haha... ha..." He sat up straight, wiping a tear from the edge of his eye. "Hey, d'you still have that box from before the match? I'm kinda hungry," the boy said, grinning. Though he looked innocent, he believed that Koike understood what he meant by "I'm kinda hungry" and what would happen if he wasn't given his pastries.

Frowning, Koike tried to think of it and then shook his head. ''I don't have it. I think that Aiko-sama has it. However,'' Koike started as he raised quickly his right index finger up, like he wanted to warn Katsu. ''I have some... small coins. We could see if we can get some pastries from a nearby bakery. How does that sound?'' Koike suggested. He had already an idea that Katsu would likely forget about everything as long as he could dig his teeth in some eclairs.

"Oh... Walking..." Katsu lowered his head. "I guess we can wait for sensei." He didn't really want to move too much, nor did he want Koike to pay for his food. He didn't like it. Whether it be because he felt like a burden or because he just had his principles, he simply didn't like making others pay. Though he didn't like waiting for pastries either...

That was strange. First Yukara hugged and blushed and now this. Koike wasn't sure at first how to respond back as Katsu said that they could wait for Aiko. Scratching his chin, Koike thought of a possible solution. ''I still have more than enough chakra. I could make a shadow clone and get some if you want.'' Hoping that his suggestion would cheer Katsu a bit up. ''Though I think you would have to help me with the money. I only have a bit on me person.''

Money... That was something Katsu didn't have. They'd gotten some money for their mission from Aiko but most of that was used to treat her per her request... "I don't have too much either," he responded. "We can just wait. I wouldn't want any of the pastries to go to waste in case we can't eat any more." He laid back, sighing. "I wonder what's going to happen now..."

''The second rounds I have been hearing about.'' Koike said, with quite a serious tone. ''Those who have won their match are now pitted against each other.'' He explained and thought briefly about it. ''Probably quite some experienced and tough genins against each other.'' Growing silent, Koike thought about if he had a chance. The match against the Hyuuga had been a simple one, but that was cause his opponent was too easily lured into a trap. He wouldn't expect his next opponents to be that easily tricked.

"I get that but... Since I got a draw..." Katsu muttered. "Nevermind. We'll learn all about it tonight or tomorrow, right?" The first thought that came to his mind was both of them getting eliminated. While it wouldn't be the end of the world, Katsu would definitely be extremely disappointed if such a thing happened. ''Probably. I think that it will be decided by a commission or such.'' The question of Katsu made Koike think as well. He wasn't sure if he would deem it wise to see Katsu enter the second rounds, but he could understand that his friend wanted to prove his worth further more. ''What would you like to happen?''

Katsu gave him a strange look. "That's a rather strange question," he said, raising an eyebrow. "I think you know what I'd like to happen, Koike..." He got up, stretching. "I'm gonna go out for a walk. This is my first time at Amegakure so.... Wanna come along?"

''Well, yeah. But I hope that doesn't involve more beatings.'' Koike replied as he got up. ''And sure. I have taken some walk before. I find it a strange place to be honest. Though the rain is somewhat,'' Koike thought about it. He couldn't find the right word for it until a moment later. ''Calming. Though I wouldn't like to live here, I guess.''

Katsu looked at his headband which was laying on the bed with his weapons and worn out clothes. Deciding to leave it behind, he made for the door with the keys in his hand. "Alright then! Let's go!"

Alrighty Agent. Still thanks for the heads up. I hope we can stay in touch through whatsapp. It is always a blast to joke with you around. Hope things will get better for you soon. And I would be happy to adopt Kichiro, if that means that I can keep him alive so that you can rejoin later and relieve of it. :)

Slapping Someone Clueless

A collab between Lillydove and Gerontis

Summary: Yukara waits impatiently at Koikes hotel room door, confusing him about her motives for slapping him and expresses some concern for both participants in his match.

The confrontation

Yukara stood in front of the Koikes hotel room with a very frustrated and disturbed expression on her face, arms crossed and foot tapping impatiently for him to show up. He better show up, or she will hunt him down and beat him up. "Koike... Koike... that little HON!" Yukara growled under her breath. She was furious, why would he resort to poison? Why did he have to go that far for a stupid match?

Entering the hotel, Koike only noticed then that he was pretty much soaked. Only glancing at his clothes, he shrugged. Searching his pockets for the key, Koike hadn't noticed Yukara until he had found the key of his room. He halted, wondering why she was looking like that and standing in front of his door. Not that he distrusted that she would try anything, Koike still felt a bit unsure what he should think of it. ''Hello.'' He said, taking a step to his door, lifting up the keys as like he wanted to signal that he wanted to head into the room.

"There you are! Do you know how long I have been standing here? For half an hour!"Yukara snapped at him. In her frustration, she began using her hands to punctuate what she was saying and then decided that it was not enough. She raised her hand, then in the next second, she slapped him with audible smack across the face. "You could have been killed in that poison! You could have killed him too! What were you thinking?" she demanded. Her eyes were narrowed and her fist were clenched, she wanted to hit him again.

Saying that Koike was confused was an understatement. He looked surprised as even more confused at her. It was the reason that she could smack him, which surprised him even more. Taking a step back, Koike frowned. What was she saying? Killing himself or that Hyuuga? He wondered what the cause was that she was waiting for him like this and even slapping him. ''What? That poison wasn't made to be deadly. It is simple to make sure that an opponent can't continue fighting. If you didn't see it, I had a syringe with antidote. I am fine.'' If that Hyuuga was fine, wasn't something that Koike could confirm. He had made a shadow clone who would provide an antidote for the poison, but other than that? Not his worries.

She was still fuming, her fist still clenched and her anger still boiling. "You should not have used poison at all, what if you could not provide an antidote for either? What if it was too much for either of you!? Do you really want to be responsible for killing someone in your own village?" Yukara asked, her tone was calm but it was forced. She also felt bad for hitting him, so she focused some chakra in her hand and brought to his face to make the area of contact not hurt so much.

Due her having hit him before, Koike was cautious. Noticing that she moulded some visible chakra at her hand, he gained a hunch what she wanted to do, but she wouldn't like his answer. Though standing still, Koike didn't trust the situation, yet. ''Then that happens. It is normal for deaths to happen at Chuunin exams. They might be rare, but they aren't strange. That and I gave him a chance to give up.'' He wasn't trying to defend himself as he didn't even know what the point was of the whole discussion. Soaked by the rain, he wanted to go in his room and take a shower, get dressed and rest out.

"So dont be the one to make it happen," Yukara said, crossing her arms again. She was still mad at him and still felt the need to yell at him but not so much as before. "Are you hurt anywhere? I can heal you, you know," she said. Beginning to poke and prod him, searching him for any hidden injuries. "Why are you soaking wet? You should know better than to go walking in the rain especially after the match," she said, glaring at him.

Sighing, Koike wasn't sure why she was suddenly like this. Had he said something wrong or done something that made her act like he had been in a situation where it was life and death? ''No. That Hyuuga didn't ever managed to hit me anywhere. And I took a walk.'' A bit baffled that he hadn't try to walk past her to get into his room, Koike gestured to the door. ''If I may?''

"Well I suppose thats a good thing, at least you were not hit," Yukara said, she knew that he probably wanted to get into his room so she was about to step aside. "Next time, no poison or better yet, get promoted this time. But no poison, its too risky and I dont want to loose a team mate, ok?" she asked, frowning a bit before giving him a hug and stepping aside.

Just when he was about to unlock the door, she hugged him. Frowning, he looked at her and wasn't sure what she was planning. Was or had she been genuinely worried or was there something else to it? Koike couldn't understand where this was all coming from and cleared his throat softly. ''I wasn't in danger. Don't worry about me.'' Koike tried, hoping she would take his words as he even tried to say them in a polite manner. Holding a hand on the door handle, he felt a bit awkward. What was he supposed to do now? Hug her back? Try to say something comforting?

Realizing that she had just hugged, she looked away and was blushing a bit. "It is my job as the medical nin in training to worry about everyone, but you seem to have a disregard for your safety, so I have to worry. But.. still be careful, ok?" she asked. She smiled at him and then took a step away from the door that he was about to open. She gestured for him to go in, a very awkward expression lingering on her face. "See you in training or tomorrow, whichever comes first. I have to go yell at Ezuri now, rest up," she said and then took another step back.

Noticing the blush, Koike grew even more clueless. What was even going on? He simply nodded at first. Trying to argue that he didn't had a disregard for his safety as he hadn't pushed himself to try to overwhelm the Hyuuga at close quarters, he decided it was for the best if he wouldn't argue back. ''Okay.'' He first said, then hearing her say that she had to yell at Ezuri. Maybe they were friends or something and was that the reason why she was mad at him? For poisoning her friend? Opening the door, Koike took almost a step forward, before he would say something else. ''Thanks, Yukara.''

With that having said, Koike would enter his room as closing the door behind him. Sighing, he was still confused on what had transpired. Deciding that worrying or pondering over it wouldn't help, he would for now not pay too much attention it. Though it had been a bit strange, yet not that bad. Or was it? Rubbing his chin, Koike shook his head lightly. No, thinking too much over it wasn't going to do him any good for now.
