Konoha: We are the Ninja of the Hidden Leaf! (Private RP)

Crouched down on top of a random rooftop, Lana snaps her eyes open with a faint and quiet gasp as if waking up from a dream. But no, she wasn't sleeping. More-or-so...deep in thought. The subject of the thought? Heh. Definitely something that she doesn't want to think about, let alone that it's been a long while since she has thought about it. It just has to keep coming back out of the blue, doesn't it? Haunting thoughts like that always come back on whatever weird and random schedule. Stupid emotions getting in the way. Just move on, Lana. It's here, and now.

With her previous thoughts out of her head, Lana stands up and jumps down from the roof before starting to walk down the road. As she walked down the road for awhile and running a hand through her hair, Lana's head slightly perks up from hearing some noise up ahead; Lana then saw Hokuto and Hakai not that far up ahead of her which happened to be in front of Seika and Miyuki's house. It looked like Hokuto just tried to dodge something, or try to at least. Something like that. Lana decided to join whatever was going on and walked up to them, "Eyyy what's goin' on here?" Lana asked, but noticed she got no response as if her presence wasn't there. Lana slightly raised a brow, "Uhhh, guys?" Lana extended a hand slightly but then stopped once she looked at it and noticed something. Along with the rest of her appearance, it was blue. Wait, what? Why is it even-- ohhh that's right. Lana was astral projecting earlier wasn't she? Or...has been. What was she doing astral projecting again? Adventuring? Going on a walk? Eh, whatever. Most likely not important. With Lana being in 'spirit form' and out of her physical body, she couldn't be heard or seen by the one's she just tried to interact with. Or let alone, anyone living really. And color-scheme wise, her appearance was more on the blue side. Because, you know. Spirit, soul stuff. "Ah, IIII believe I have found the problem," Lana talks to herself as she looks at herself. She stands up straight and clears her throat before pulling out a handsign, with a single hand with the index and middle finger sticking out, "Return," a cord coming from Lana's chest reveals itself with a glow, and within seconds Lana is pulled away fast. She was quickly returned to her physical which was lying down in the apartment she lives alone in. Her purple psyche markings also returned to her face before she opened her eyes and leaped up to her feet. She decided to meet up with them just to still see what's up. She arrives where she just was in a couple minutes, except coming in from the opposite side. Lana looked from Hakai being grabbed behind, to Seika blowing his wind around at Hokuto. Lana looks back and forth at them but then casually speaks as if there's no commotion(s) going on what so ever, "...So hey guys how's it goin'." Lana loosely puts a hand to her hip while the other hand waves.

Ricki stuck with her group as they continue to venture in the forest, looking around cautiously and daringly. The hunt for mobs to kill was still active, of course. The luck of finding some, however, are not too good yet. Just then everyone heard a noise and Ricki reacted by bending her knees into a fighting stance and dragging her foot on the ground in a half-circle to face towards the general direction of the noise. Her hand was still on the hilt of one of her blades and almost drew it from its sheath, but didn't as what she saw seemed to be...under control. Considering the epic firepower of a showcase, yep. Everything seems good. Thing is, all that fire was for a bunny. "Aw..." Ricki spoke semi-quietly, and the way it was said sounded weird, the kind of weird where it's hard to describe in words, and somewhat nasally. Poor bunny. Poor, cute little bunny. Well it was virtual, so maybe it's not all bad. Wait a second. Psh! Don't get fed up about it Ricki! Come on, it's over with. Real or virtual, it was a worthy sacrifice...for its pelt. ...Still kinda sad though.

The group goes deeper in, and Ricki follows. They've been walking around for awhile now, and the question of whether someone has been keeping track or not. Ricki wasn't really concerned about that, not yet. She just assumed that they would find a way out anyway whenever they were done here. That, and Viral's tactic of walking in a straight line would also work anyway. So really, Ricki's focus was on finding some mobs and release killing spree on them. Ricki then spoke of the topic concerning the lack of mobs, "I would imagine by the deeper and deeper we go that there would-- SQUIRREL!" Ricki suddenly yelled out alertly before turning and quickdrawing the sword she had her hand on for several minutes, killing the random squirrel she spotted with a single slash. Like, literally, she yelled it out as if she were a dog wanting to chase it down the street. Kind of like that one movie with all the balloons and dogs with talking collars. Ricki paused, in voice and in stance.

+1 Squirrel Pelt!

Well that was...okay moving on now.

Without blinking Ricki's pause continued for a couple more seconds before she returned her blade to its sheath and stood up straight, continuing on as if nothing out of the ordinary just happened, "--be more baddies to kill depending how deep we are. But honestly, I would think we would see some at least by now." Ricki gently put both hands on the hilts of both of her blades, right hand on the right one and left on the left, just rubbing her thumbs across the hilts. "This game really is odd, isn't it?" Ricki was agreeing with SawCutter's earlier statement.

Zircon glanced at Amber as he approached, and then back to Emerald and the switch. Zircon was going to slowly move her hand to pull the switch, but Emerald went for it before Zircon could move. At least it was done faster. The reason for the slowness, unknown. Perhaps it could be Zircon just unnecessarily overthinking it way too much. Psh, possible explosions. No. Damn it Zircon. Zircon still kind of wishes she hadn't said that, but it doesn't feel like there's a use for getting all regretful and/or mopey about it now. No harm done though, right? Hopefully. Seeing Emerald brace himself made Zircon slightly tense and slightly put her right foot back in reaction. When the staircase was revealed Zircon eased and made a quiet sigh of relief since they finally found it. Zircon watched Emerald run up the stairs, "Ey wait up!" The excitement caused Zircon to start running up the stairs to catch up. Zircon was eager to see what this temple had in store on the inside. When she sees Emerald up ahead trip and fall Zircon speeds up a bit, skipping and stepping over every two stairs as she goes up. "Easy there.." Zircon catches up with Emerald and slightly bends down while extending a hand to him to give him a hand up.

I am here as well. Going to try to get a post up before I go to bed tonight.

Ricki took her hands away that were relaxingly behind her head and let her arms hang loose, swinging back and forth slightly, and smirked before following her party into the forest. She was excited that the real fun of this game was finally about to start, not saying that the first however many minutes weren't fun. The first minutes were pretty eventful. Well, they've felt eventful. Starting a new game, customizable characters, joining a party; that seems eventful right? Riiight? Alright. As they enter through the forest Ricki puts her right hand on the hilt of the blade that is sheathed on her left side, not moving it yet and ready to kick some mob ass. Ricki remembered from scrolling through menus earlier a skill she had called 'Quick Draw'. Name speaks for itself if definition needed. So when they find something good, Quick Draw! ...Assuming that Quick Draw will be needed that is. Ricki stayed close to the group as her eyes took a good but not too look around, keeping a look out and all not just for herself but for the group in general of course. "Hmmmm," Ricki took a somewhat of a pause and thought about SawCutter's question regarding whether they really need a tactic or not since he's a giant robot. He was a pretty big robot. And pretty armed too by the obvious looks of it. "..Maaaaybee," Ricki answered slowly but a little lively, she was still in thought as she spoke which explains the slowness. She took about a two second pause, "...For nooooow," Ricki answered again, still speaking slow from thought as she was thinking half-deeply about the tactics question. Ricki honestly thinks they'll be fine either way, tactics or none. But that might be an itty bitty bit of cockiness talking to her since there's two big robots in the group, but honestly, maybe it's not.

Ricki's attention turned to SawCutter, the one who invited her and the one who started talking to her first. Ricki blinked her eyes more open--they weren't wide open, but just more open than it was--when SawCutter mentioned he could tell that Ricki was a little 'spooked'. FRICK. Is it really that obvious? Or rather, is it still obvious? And here Ricki thought she wasn't worried about the whole thing anymore; Ricki wonders what signs could have given it off. Anyways, no need to get worried all over again. Come on, pull it together. Ricki actually kept her cool and brought a hand up and waved it a little, "Naaah naah it's all good," Ricki wanted to reassure that there's no harm done or anything like that and even gave out a brief snicker and managed to slip it right through just before SawCutter continues on talking. Ricki listened to him give further details about the setup of the party and what it plans to do. With no objections Ricki nodded, "Count me in."

It was then noted that the other chick with them, was actually a dude. Ricki would've let out a 'DAYUM' in surprise, but then her attention once again turned back to Sawcutter when asked if interested in some PvP for later on. "Hell yeah, I'm up for it. I was kinda planning to do the same thing, leveling up a bit before PvP-ing and all," Ricki responded with a bit of eagerness. Ricki then gets distracted by the loud bang, from a gun by the sound of it, from whatever distance she and the party were from it. Ricki didn't turn her head towards it, she more-or-so just focused her hearing towards it. She half-listened to the woman shouting about something or what not while the other half of the listening was towards her party's chatter. The half-listening didn't really last that long, and soon Ricki's full attention was back towards the party. Ricki chuckled a bit on Queue's comment on being a pacifist before speaking out her thought, "Honestly we could do a little mix of both," Ricki refers to the 'tactics or all-out' question. "Well, assuming that it'll be one of those breeze-through huntings since we're all level numero unos'." Ricki paused briefly. "And assuming again, that there are levels. But ey, I'm open to any kind of approach," Ricki puts her hands up relaxingly behind her head just before giving a short glance to the girl who ran by them. Possibly the one who set off the gunshot. Ricki thought a little mix of tactics and going all out was a decent idea. Assuming that'll it be easy since it's their first time, like she said, it wouldn't be too risky going all out. If for some reason Ricki was way off, or if anything backfires for whatever reason that may be, the tactics part could be a backup.

Ricki perks her head up like a dog as she gets a notification. She stops where she is to check it out, booping through some menus to find that a message is received from someone. Dang, how many minutes has it been? Already got a message, this is getting really nice. Ricki didn't think she'd get one this fast and early. Ricki opens up the message from the user 'SawCutter' and reads it, half-mumbling let alone half-speaking it to herself.

Ricki stares at the message with half-open eyes, almost unamused. Dang, how many minutes has it been? Internally, Ricki became a little defensive. She understood that with a name like 'Ricki' people could probably mistake her for a guy, but the fact that she practically always uses female avatars and people would still ask her gender once in a blue moon or even claim that she's not a girl made her a little wary. Especially with a troll approach like this. It's just that she doesn't want to be thought as one of those creepy dudes playing as girls because, well, she isn't. But really, that message, like seriousl-- oh hey another message that was fast.

Oh. Oh, okay. He was just kidding around. Ok ok. And lookie here, he sent a party invite. Well Ricki doesn't want to wait any longer for the fun to start, and she doesn't want to keep this party waiting either so-- wait was he kidding about the not being a girl part or the 'fite me' part? Or both? Does he actually think she's not a girl? Why. Whywhywhywhywhywhywh- ok you know what. Ricki thinks briefly to herself; from now on this is a reality of no worries. So if anything, all will be good. Most likely. Hopefully. No not hopefully, most likely. Without delay Ricki replies to SawCutter real quick saying, 'Lol aight' and then accepts the party invite. She quickly looks around for the newly joined party and eventually she would find them, near a forest. From the distance she spotted them she observed them. Two of them were big robots, aw yeah, and then some other chick. Ricki straightened up and and adjusted her hair before she put her thumbs in her pockets, or if there were no pockets she'd just be putting her hands there as if they were, and jogged on over. "What up what up. How we doing?" Ricki attempted to greet casually as she officially arrived.
