Defend the Museum [Mission]

[Kyogi]

Name: Defend the Museum

Objective: Defend the Museum from any would be thieves.
Description: With the Sun Stone successfully stolen, the museum and elders of the village feel that many other village's treasures are at risk. They have put out a decree to any shinobi that have pride in their village to help defend the Museum for a solid 24 hours. There are only two entrances to the Museum, the roof's skylights and the front door. The ninja must cover these areas vigilantly, any successfully stolen items will mean immediately fail this mission.
Reward: 8,000 Ryo (10,000 if taken with more than one PC)

It was a rare occasion indeed. Kyogi approached the museum wearing an entirely dark grey outfit. He wore a dark grey jacket and his slotless chuunin vest over it. The pants he wore were the same color but were close-fitting to enable quick moving taijutsu. Wrapping around his forehead and silver hair was a sound village headband. On his right hip there was a small utility pouch that held a compass, a world map, a bottle of black sealing ink and his goggles which were equipped with Anti-Flash, Thermal and Mark IV Lie Detector lenses.

The day for the mission was rather pleasant, it was a warm afternoon the sun slowly moving towards its decent for the day. Kyogi wiped a bit of sweat from his brow wondering if his outfit had been the best choice. However Kyogi was planning ahead for the night when the sun wouldn’t likely be as big of an issue. Arriving at the front door of the Museum he paused taking a few steps back. The mission details claimed there were only two regular entrances but how bold were the thieves? Kyogi had heard of breaking into places using explosives as not only a means of surprise but avoiding conventional entrances.

Before Kyogi was going to meet with the Museum owner he turned around to look towards the street. His silver eyes gazed forward looking for the girl Bree he’d met at the tower earlier today. Kyogi was a bit nervous having a new teammate for the mission. It had been a while since he’d tried to act in the leader roll on a mission. Kyogi was determined to make this mission a success and to keep both of them safe throughout the mission. It was nice knowing they were both medics. It was certainly going to be an interesting duo to guard the Museum.

Brianne arrived at the museum after a short detour to grab her sword out from her apartment. The longsword with a golden hilt, Levoru, was strapped to Bree's back. In terms of height, the sword was only a few inches shorter than Brianne, so it was strapped diagonally so that it didn't scrape against the ground while she walked. The hilt rested over her right shoulder, and the sheath was open on one side so that the sword could be lifted out instead of drawn. Brianne's arms weren't long enough to draw such a large blade, after all.

Bree wore a pale pink dress for this mission. The color itself didn't matter too much to her. She only switched to this dress because of a higher hemline, so that quick movements weren't hindered by fabric.

The young girl's sandals squished against the ground as she advanced. Her partner for this exciting evening was already there. He didn't forget his stuff, after all.

Bree waved to Kyogi once she was spotted, and soon stood by the male shinobi's side.

The museum was lit, even at this hour. It was, of course, a Sunday afternoon, and the area was vacant. The ninja were some of the rare few who would be working now, as even the museum staff had left. There was a single janitor, who had been cleaning the building, who had waited for the ninja to arrive. He would open the door as the ninja came close to the building, examining closely the male and female ninja who had taken on the mission of guarding the building. "The bossman said you would know what you're doing. I'll leave you the keys." The janitor would say through his gray moustache, wearing a blue jumpsuit. He would remove one of two pairs of keys from his belts, and toss them to the female ninja. "Those'll get ya anywhere you need to go. Protect the meseum, willya?" He would say, and leave, expecting no real response.

The floor plan of the museum was relatively simple. It was a two story building, with an entrance hall, and a grandroom on each floor. Over the entrance hall were the stairs to the top floor. In the back of the museum were the offices, supply closets, and similar things, off on their own hallway. That hallway had windows, but they were barred and secured. Unfortunately, the skylights in the upstairs great room were not barred, and would be relatively vulnerable. It was time for the ninja assembled to set up camp.

[Kyogi]

OOC: Sorry for my long wait I'll be faster now >_<'

Kyogi smiled raising a hand to wave back as Bree approached. When the door opened he scanned the janitor who welcomed them to the closed museum. Hidden from his face was a bit of surprise when the set of keys were thrown to Bree and not himself. Kyogi tried not to think much of it as there were more important matters at hand. ”Thanks for letting us in. See you in the morning.”

Entering the museum Kyogi knew the two main areas they’d likely need to defend from the mission details. The door they had just entered and from above. Kyogi intended to check out the sky lights but turned to look at Bree if she had not been following him. ”Can you lock the front door please? I’d like to assume if there was a break-in they wouldn’t try the front door but I guess we won’t know until later. I may be able to detect intruders before they come in.”

KYogi moved away from the main entrance and towards the stairs. ”Are you prepared for the long night Bree?” Traveling up the stairs Kyogi wanted to get a better look at the skylight. Part of him wondered just how sneaky the potential robbers were. Would they be dangerous? The long night was approaching.

Rank: C
Skill: Supplementary
Effect: Gives the ability to detect evil intentions within people around you.

Your will alone gives you the ability to sense evil intentions within other people within a twenty meter radius, by focusing on their aura you can tell whether their motives are pure or corrupt. One is able to inactively notice evil from those who explicitly express it, but finding hidden motive is harder, and people of higher rank than the user can actually mask their hate to such an extent that it can’t be found (though extreme hate and violence can still be seen even within a higher ranked person as long as they aren’t hiding it.) (Obvious motives = killer intent, hate, ect. Hidden motives = tasks that involve destruction, mission involving assassination, ect.)

[Vara]

ooc: Haha, it's all good. Life gets busy.

Bree nodded, then shut the front door as she followed Kyogi into the museum.

After locking the door, Bree skipped back to Kyogi's side. She drew her sword, Levoru, from its sheath, and held the blade with both her hands. "Staying up late is always fun!" she announced.

Though she wanted the sword out in order to respond to threats faster, Brianne was a bit too lazy to keep the sword held up, so she gently lowered the tip of the blade to the floor, so that most of its weight was supported by the ground.

It was midday before the two had arrived. They had twenty-four hours of this ahead of them, but they seemed perfectly happy doing their job correctly. The elder Chunin went up the stairs, to check out the skylights which would be a potential entrance way for thieves. He would notice the locks on the skylights. What he did with this knowledge, was up to him.

Nothing of note would seem to happen.

[Kyogi]

With the doors locked and two capable shinobi within the museum Kyogi believed the museum to be safe. Or at the least in good hands. "Staying up late is always fun!" Kyogi chuckled a little about the girl’s comment. He was happy Bree was excited for the mission. Plus staying up stayed fun as you grew older but for someone her age this might be a treat. The museum was quiet but they had also just gotten here. It gave him some time to learn a bit more about his partner.

”So what do you see yourself more as with that sword Bree? A swordsman or a medic? Or possibly both?” Kyogi was unsure of Bree’s ability in battle as they had just met but he certainly wasn’t going to let her get in over her head. ”What will you do if one of these thieves comes at you with a knife? Tonight can get very serious very fast if there are a lot of people. Luckily the sky light is locked at least for now.”

[Vara]

ooc: Ah double crap

---

A swordsman or a medic?

Did she have to choose?

Bree's lips pinched together into a pout as she looked to her shining blade. She didn't know for sure. Both sounded like the right answer, yet her mind was stuck with the idea that one might be better than the other.

Her sword was pretty, she didn't want to neglect that. However, summoning the healing lights within one's hands was also something joyfully pleasing.

Then came the question, a scenario. If an armed person were to suddenly attack, how would Bree repel that person.

"I am not a swordsman," Bree said, as she brought the blade up. "but I'm a medic who's just as good with one."

[Y]

Three hours would pass, the sun would begin to fall in the sky, and still, nothing would happen. Perhaps this mission would be a lot easier than the ninja had thought? Guard duty is rarely bad when nothing bad happens.

[Kyogi]

Kyogi nodded hearing her answer; there was no real answer to his question. He just wanted to learn more about his partner. ”Just be open to what you enjoy.” Kyogi replied to her, ”Life has a way of changing as we get older.” Time had passed on a relatively quiet night. Maybe it was a good thing that no break-ins had been attempted but he was getting antsy.

”Hey Bree, while it’s quiet let’s look around the museum. If these guys are sneaky maybe they’re already here.” Kyogi reached into his pouch for his goggles and equipped them. Quickl he flipped though the three different lenses he owned but ended on thermal vision. Kyogi preferred not to split up from his partner but something about her energy made him believe she could handle herself if need be. Heading to the left Kyogi walked towards the grandroom on the second floor of the museum. It wasn’t often Kyogi came here so while they were protecting the museum, a little sightseeing couldn’t hurt. While he walked Kyogi scanned the area with his thermal lenses looking to pick up anyone here other than Bree or himself.

[Vara]

Bree listened to Kyogi's proposal, then nodded in agreement.

"Okay," she smiled. "I'll say stuff if stuff happens."

After that, the young girl skipped towards one of the opposite museum sections. Her sword was still held at the ready, in case of any kind of ambush.

Bree imagined that, if a thief came in from somewhere other than the doors, they would come in from the roof. Keeping that in mind, every couple of seconds she glanced upwards. Bree figured she'd hear something far before she saw it, but listening for too long was a relatively boring activity.

[Y]

Nothing would appear out of place to the two when they checked around the grand room of the museum. Vara would look about the exhibits, and everything would be relatively normal as far as they could tell.

[Kyogi]

Bree went her own way through the museum and the two separated. She seemed confident and he wanted that to be enough. Perhaps the night was still young but the silence of the museum was making Kyogi uneasy. Not that he wanted the museum to be attacked but they had been sent here to stop one from going down. Kyogi stopped in the middle of the grandroom and let out a sigh. Kyogi switched off the thermal lenses on his goggles and pushed them atop his head.

Focusing his will Kyogi went back to using his will detection. If therer was someone with evil intentions nearby he’d be able to tell. He presumed that theft would be easy to detect as opposed to some others. With his concentration at peak Kyogi continued his rounds around the museum. As he searched the second floor Kyogi inspected the various items. What was it in this museum that a thief would want? How valuable was the crime the might commit? Either way when they showed up Kyogi and Bree would be here to stop them. For the mean time he wandered around the second floor’s grandroom with only his thoughts.

[Vara]

Without much else catching her attention, Vara simply wandered on. She began to hum a little tune to herself, one of those simple tunes that a lot of parents a teachers used for multiple nursery rhymes. The words didn't really come to mind, so she just filled the surrounding room with her soft noise. Vara didn't know how to sing, so there wasn't much she could add onto her performance.

[Y]

Suddenly, in an explosion of glass, something would break the skylight. Immediately following that, and rope was tossed down, and somebody would slide down to the floor. They were wrapped up in dark clothing, and immediately looked around them. It was in the grand hall of the museum, and they descended a long distance, so they were off balance for a brief moment, but it was obvious speed was their intention. Both ninja would immediately perceive this figure, as he ran off to the side towards a specific stone in a case, with a hammer in his hand and ready to break the glass.

[Kyogi]

You’d have to be deaf to miss that. A startling explosion caused Kyogi to spin on his heel to find the source. Kyogi didn’t have much time to express his surprise as he ran out of the grandroom and towards the stairs. Spotting the rope and a dark figure descending into the museum he went into action. He wanted to intercept the thieves but first he wanted to see what they were after. There were so many things that information could be used later. Kyogi watched the figure run in a specific direction. Kyogi would utilize a shunshin to put himself in front of the would be thief.

Kyogi was hoping to use his fast movements as a means of surprise. Kyogi used his distance to position himself in the path of the man. Gathering chakra into his middle finger he rushed forward towards the thief. Reaching out with his right hand Kyogi aimed a flick at the man’s head intending to send him flying backwards towards where he’d originally descended. He hoped Vara had heard the explosion and would be here shortly. Things were getting interesting.

Finger Flick [10]
Rank: D
Skill: Taijutsu
Effect: By gathering chakra into either middle finger, the user then "flicks" their opponent in the forehead which causes them to soar backwards.
Special: None
Drawback: None
Description: This technique is mainly used to get some distance between the user and their opponent. The user simply flicks their opponents forehead and sends them flying backwards for about fifteen feet at high speeds. Attack causes moderate damage and would most likely just give the opponent a slight disoriented feeling.
Limit: Must be atleast Brawler level.

[Vara]

Bree's head swung towards the direction of the sound. Something did break in, after all. Then this wasn't going to be a boring night!

The young girl immediately brought the sword up over her shoulder, ready to swing. She then dashed across the floor towards where she heard the sound of crashing glass. Although Bree had advanced movement capabilities, she decided not to use them. Instead, she approached the intruder from the opposite side of her team mate.

Bree was used to a supporting role. Her intention was to distract the intruder from one side so that Kyogi could strike from the opposite.

With a bit of concentration, Bree activated a technique of light. Her special sword started to shine with an overwhelming glow. Due to the nature of the sword, the light was enhanced, so that it reached over sixty meters out. The thirty meter radius around Bree was the brightest.

This, combined with the sound of Bree's footsteps, were the biggest distraction Bree could conjure up at this moment.

Chosen One
Rank: "C"
Skill: Faith Trait
Effect: At the user's birth, their parents dedicated their soul to their god.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: The god blessed them, granting them a gift of light to brighten their path through darkness and a fine sword with which to spread their will. User may perform a Light Jutsu which causes an object to glow like a torch, shedding bright light in a 15-meter radius (and dim light for an additional 15-meter_ from the point the user touches. The effect is immobile, but it can be performed on a movable object. The duration of the Jutsu is 50 minutes per Class Level. Light taken into an area of chakra created darkness does not function. User begins with a Masterwork Longsword. In addition, whenever Light is performed on this sword, the radius of light and its duration is doubled. This trait replaces 1 Freebies.
Limit: Must start with Character; replaces 1 Freebies.

"Holy shit! What the hell is going on in here!"  The figure would yell as he saw what was going on. First, he would see a light, then he would be sent flying backwards at an alarming rate, and thud into the wall next to the door. It was all happening very fast, and it would be easy to miss exactly what he said. He would hit the wall abruptly, and break it, crumbling plaster all over the place. He was underneath a small poster, which showed museum rates, and so that would tumble down on top of him. "Woah, calm down there! There weren't supposed to be ninja in here! Just don't kill me." He would say, seeming honestly upset by everything that was going on. His hands would start to go up, but fail to due to the comical framed poster stuck on top of him, and his position of being stuck in the wall.

[Kyogi]

The bright light Bree had created worked perfectly as a distraction. As his flick impacted the man Kyogi remembered just how much strength he possessed. The aim was to stop the museum from being robbed that didn't mean he had to kill the intruder. "Good work Bree. Stay alert there could be more." Kyogi said aloud as he made his way to the man who was now pleading for his life.

"We're not here to kill you. Why are you trying to rob this museum? Who else is with you?" Kyogi questioned as he changed the vision on his goggles to the Lie-Detector Lenses Mark IV. Adjusting them so they were over his eyes he awaited the response. For now it seemed like the museum was safe.

[Vara]

Having succeeded as a distraction, Bree turned away and shut off the light from her blade. She allowed Kyogi to question the intruder, and watched her partner's back. Her sword was raised and ready for any other attacks. Since the recent invasion did indeed come from above, she looked up a few times over the course of time, in order to make sure that no one else was watching.

In case the invader had any tricks, Bree stayed about fifteen meters away. Both far enough to avoid incoming attacks, and close enough to assist if necessary.
