Re: Soragakure OOC III - Why Do We Have 3 Of These?
Ah, but zeone, it's something that either Houshi OR Amon could do. And Amon and Houshi are seriously of exact opposite build - none of their abilities have anything in common, meaning it would have to be somethinbg that anyone in our position we could do (punching Jounin NOT being one of them). The only thing exclusing Yousuke would be his relationship to the other team... I guess. Let's put our heads together and see if we can't figure out something to make NOT having something a unique and useful boon and how it could help us 'salvage' this situation. Hmmm....*thinking noises*
For some reason I thoght you were blaming me and I spent the last week feeling really guilty about it. Oh, the wasted time and odd roleplaying that comes from our minor emotional miscommunication
Re-reading it, I can see how you could come to that. Poor word choice on my part. My bad.
...Now I'm more confused. Acronyms, pianos, Castlevania, stupid mystery hijinks, cheap animation, what specific element is the hint I wonder. Hmmm... maybe we should go around whipping things until hearts pop out to even the playing field. I think Hearts were currency in the original Castlevania, right? No that was Castlevania 2.... either way I might well be way off. Zeone, any analysis? Hell, maybe you just needed to emphasise the 'clue' aspect so used the first SD clip you found

Aw, it's okay, as long as I know my presence is bearable. Want to hug it out? *outstretches arms*

Well, he's the second most talky person on teh team, so all he had to do was wait for Amon to have her scars triggered enough to shut her up for long enough for him to take the lead. Why, do you not like the role? The alternative is you put Amon in charge. I'll only be the group's Fred if I get to screw Velma. Which I guess would be... Cybele? Maybe not hen, with that curse and everything. Man, that clip of Scooby Doo really threw me.
Edit: see now I can't tell if the advice is related to Castlevania itself or you just like the pretty rad soundtrack

Fred: Yousuke. The calm rational leader.
Velma: Yousuke. He's the only one that actually succeeds on ninja lore checks.
Daphne: Also Yousuke. Because he's the pretty one.
Shaggy: Amon. Not as smart as she thinks, and very cowardly.
Scooby: Houshi. Gets into antics with Amon all the time. Also the glue that holds the group together.
Scrappy: Cybele. The unloved one.
Re: Soragakure OOC III - Why Do We Have 3 Of These?
Well I don't mind the role but I never envisioned Yousuke becoming the leader of the team. With all the talk of Houshi being the typical shounen protagonist I kind of expected him to assume that role, or failing that, Amon taking up the position due to her intelligence and charisma.
Oh well, Chuunin here I come.
EDIT: Zoinks, Houshi! The Garou are like, stealing all these bloodlines!

Re: Soragakure OOC III - Why Do We Have 3 Of These?
Hey, I succeeded on a couple of lore checks earlier. I had a good laugh at that evaluation though. Poor Cybele -I would kill to be anyone but Scrappy. Though, there are people that like Scooby?
Amon can be a rational, calm leader, she just chooses not to. Or rather, when she does do the whole 'calm leader' thing no one listens to her machinations - she usually has to offend a few people to get them to listen up. There's no one on the Scooby Gang that was a 'surly guilt-complex ridden mechanic' type. Although 'not as smart' as she thinks she is is only partially right. She doesn't think as much of herself as she lets on. A lot of which has to do with that 'coward' quality which she blames for a lot of her failings.
Look at us trying to logically deconstruct Scooby Doo. I feel old all of a sudden.

PFT-HAHAHAhA! Oh man, why did that make me laugh so much.
Re: Soragakure OOC III - Why Do We Have 3 Of These?
I chose Cybele for Velma because she's the most competent one but is willing and smart enough to let others take the credit and initiative, giving them the illusuon of success. That isn't a quality I perceive as much in Cybele necessarily, but it is what I see in Velma - a certain guile that an assassin like Cybele should have - Velma even hides it a little better, letting the team and audience both believe she's all smiles. No one who could so well get into the heads of these criminals could be nearly so innocent. Plus they both wear glasses.
Re: Soragakure OOC III - Why Do We Have 3 Of These?
I keep trying to make an IC post but all I can think of is the crazy thing ZN is thinking me and.or zeone could do - and fearing whatever it is, if I make any other move I might squander my only opportunity.
Re: Soragakure OOC III - Why Do We Have 3 Of These?
...Is it too late to just run away from the leaf-nin? They'll have awesome spot checks between their being 4 of them counting the dog, and the dojutsu users. Oh wait, it's search that's used to counter sleight of hand.... right? In which case they would actually have to ask me to stop them search me. ...Hm... if it comes down to letting them use a major skill like that, we'e just seriously going to have to call it a day and head home
What do you mean Houshi's not going to let - IF YOU TELL THE LEAF-NIN ABOUT THE CAT, SERIOUSLY, **** YOU. No. That isn't even funny, I swear, Amon will not want to work on the same team as Houshi anymore if he pulls something like that, I'm god damn serious. They're not our friends, they're a plot device to enable us to see the rest of the mission. We don't have to be honets with them and to do so would jeopardise EVERYTHING
Re: Soragakure OOC III - Why Do We Have 3 Of These?
What do you mean good reason? Kaede gave us a dying request we won't understand until it is complete and it revolves around that Sharingan cat that I think is holding some of Kaede's life essence judging by the chakra signature and context. The leaf-nin are willing to drop everything they're doing to detain the allies of Kaede. They have a very powerful Uchiha on their team, level 10+, who will no doubt know EXACTLY what the cat's deal is. And then we'll get a whole lot of accusations and maybe even attacked on the assumption that we much be his acconplices if we participate in this weird ritual, whatever it is even though we have no idea
What more reason enough for you? Please, zeone, i'm begging you, if you want to be straight up woith them, at leats just hold your mouth shut and tell Yousuke we should just go away rather than stick around to lie to them more. Please. We can't fightthese guys no one will save us we'll lose hard dealing with just the Uchiha.
Re: Soragakure OOC III - Why Do We Have 3 Of These?
I'm going to bed. I'll figure this out in the morning. My spelling is going to crap right now so I can't muster much. I guess if I must make a check, I take 10 (for 12 in SoH) to save time. But this was poorly thought out. Amon really should let them see the cat at all, she should get out of here. But she won't be able to track her way back here if she did that, even for a while. What do you guys think?
My current plan is to grab the cat and loop around everyone else to keep it out of their sight. This is a really stupid situation we find ourselves in and I would rather we just end the mission right now and go home this second rather than have to go through this crap with them when Houshi WILL tell them everything because he hates us.
Bad, if you want to have them back off, now is absolutely the last time we could do it before we're all dragged into a rather amazingly stupid charade with them again. Come on, do it for me, would you? In all seriousness, do what you want as long as it doesn't heap any gofiness on the situation (beyond that goofiness which is NECESSARY, obviously)
Holy crap, I just realised I can literally type while asleep. That's amazing. I MUST USE HIS POWER FOR GOOD
I'll only perform an action that would allow a search check but I can't keep my eyes open long enough to look up what opposes Sleight of Hand checks so instead I'm going to go take a well earned sleep. G'night!
Re: Soragakure OOC III - Why Do We Have 3 Of These?
Ugh, there's my post. I feel guilty over ****ing their team's relationships over just because I wanted to complete the mission. Should have just called it quits and accepted the failure and moved on toward the next mission.
Re: Soragakure OOC III - Why Do We Have 3 Of These?
*sigh* I come back after sleeping to find the following things:
1. the Konoha team don't seem to find anything odd about the cat, making it actually possible to proceed.
2. Houshi turned around and ruined everything with mere words.
What happened to the way you play Houshi, zeone? I don't remember him being this aggressive before today - did the mission just really get to him?
Let's just... go, we're embarrassing ourselves and everyone around us, I think. I have an IC post to make before that decision comes though. If we try really, really hard you might get all of them sans Koji to come along but I'm not sure why would try so hard except for the sake of the notion that we 'must' complete our mission. This isn't like the show where we can trust everything will just end up going our way if we're plucky and heroic enough as we all agreed on after the first mission
Re: Soragakure OOC III - Why Do We Have 3 Of These?
ZN, is there a regulation saying you can't come back until your mission is complete? Because every time we came back from a misison we were immediately escorted to Sonia to report in. Would an intermediate report of 'the mission was inconclusive as a result of losses of staff sustained in the field - we will return in the morning once we have replenished our supplies and found or been assigned a tracker' be acceptable?
