Give THANKS!! [OPEN]

[Father 'Suke]

Ryosuke wandered about, the average day being far unlike any other he ordinarily had. Possessing his blade at his hip, the sake flask on the other, his number of kunai inside the knife holster along his gut he moved about with a bit of zeal. His clothing that of a reapers of sorts, the shihokusho robe he wore holding a number of senbon, his map, and the compass all making up his travel gear while he moved along with a bit of necessity. He moved with a tad of readiness but just wondered what exactly was going to happen today of all days.

[zarak729]

Zakari made his way to the approximate destination of where he felt the aura of festivity was supposedly emanating. He had been short on time so he had grabbed the first few things he had gotten his hands on. A compass, two kunai, five shuriken and ten exploding tags. However he had ditched his trademark clothes for a purple kimono with a gold trim, the kind one might wear for a fancy occasion. Suddenly he saw another person, some ways off. Perhaps they were here for the same reason he was?

"Hey!" Zakari called out, walking towards him. "Can you feel it too?"

[Zetsumei]

ryo- You my friend. Just got lucky.

zaraki- Goat attack! Slay it for 10,000 Ryo.

[Father 'Suke]

Ryosuke picked up a random vial, curiously looking at it and pocketing it while then popping his neck when someone came up on him. "Feel what?" Ryosuke had to ask, curious of just what was being mentioned or asked upon in this odd day. It was going to get crazier though, that much was true as he looked about and smiled to himself. Bowing in a casual manner he began to introduce himself at that moment, "Well in any case, I am Brother 'Suke of the tempest faith, who might you be?" That's when he noticed the goat of sorts.

Vial 50 ml (Overview)

[zarak729]

"The magic in the air! Its like something special is going to happen," Zakari said, overturning pebbles and leaves in a vain effort to get to the source of this mysterious feeling. He stood up straight when his new friend introduced himself. Of course Brother 'Suke did not know that Zakari had instantly granted upon him the privilege of being his friend and he wasn't likely ever going to. That's how Zakari liked it.

Suddenly a goat charged at him from a bush. Zakari would immediately take out his kunai and one exploding tag, wrapping the tag around the kunai and wait for the goat to close in. As soon as it seemed likely that his ribs were about to be crushed, Zakari would lunge to his right to avoid such a grisly blow. By the time Zakari would have stood up, the goat would still be moving on its initial course due to its momentum. Taking this opportunity to take careful aim he would fling the tagged kunai at the approximate spot the goat would be in a few seconds and activating the tag when it came in range of it. If all went according to plan there would be a fantastic explosion which would shower the immediate blood and gore, though hopefully not close enough to Zakari as he really liked his Kimono.

"My name is Zakari Kedoin," is what he would finish with, provided he had not succumbed to the incredibly embarrassing and shameful fate of falling in battle to a mere goat.

[Father 'Suke]

The bloody explosion took shape, shrapnel scratching to 'Suke's cheek as he gazed over and smeared the shrapnel to find it was a meager stuffing of blood. A sighing of his lips and a shake of his head as he saw the demise of the goat and then looked back at this Kedoin individual. Something about him seemed odd and with a feeling along his side, the hidden rain shinobi headband hiding in he popped his neck and then looked at the Kedoin again. “So, you came out around here due to a feeling you had?” It was a subtle question while soon finding an odd man coming around and handing him a book, his hand holding it and then once looking back up he saw the strange man was gone. “Did you see...?”

Thankfully the shower of gore would entirely avoid Zakari, falling in torrents around him instead, making him look slightly cool. Moving away from the puddles of blood he would notice a small parcel, wrapped in brown paper. Opening it he would find 10,000 Ryo, enough to cover the cost of the kunai and tag he had used, and two sake balls which his father was fond off. Smiling in glee, Zakari would hastily shove the parcel in the folds of his kimono, discreetly, from Brother 'Suke.

"Yes. Like I said, it felt like maple leaves and turkey and..." he would cutoff as a strange man handed the good Brother a book and then promptly disappear, if it were not for the book that 'Suke still held in his hands he would have thought he had imagined the whole thing. "Whats in that book? Cool tech? Adult...novels? Because I can take those off your hand if they are," he said with a wink, moving closer to determine the contents of the book from its cover.

[Father 'Suke]

'Suke stared at the book a little bit more, gazing into the book with curiosity while soon looking at the boy who was coming up at him. He placed the book into the folds of his Shihakusho and then looked to find a great axe as well, lifting that up slightly as he shook his head. "Just some kind of book about large dogs." He shrugged while looking at the boy and then asking, "Why did you instantly think adult novels?" Was this odd boy a pervert?

"Dunno," Zakari shrugged, used to saying the first things that came to his mind without thinking it through. He sat back and watched 'Suke pull out an axe from a nearby tree. Funny thing was that this was the first time he'd seen that axe there. Oh well, best not to dwell on it.

"So. Are you like a priest or something? Which faith do you follow?" Zakari asked inquisitively. As he spoke a tome, old, cold and mysterious, floated upto him and landed on his lap. He stared at it for a few seconds before opening it up to find several references to ghosts. "Look, I got one too. Only it has ghost stuff in it. Speaking of ghosts, do you bring peace to the dead and stuff too?"

'Suke nodded to the boy, smiling kindly nonetheless as he gazed into the boy's eyes before noting that a few balls be raining down on fire at him. Fifteen of them total as he danced around them before scooting then with his feet to gather and cool while sitting next to them and looking at the boy. “Well I am indeed a priest of sorts. I work well to communicate with the dead and bring their needs and desires to fruition and peace.” It was the goal of his after all, and sooner or later he would make well to become the embodiment of peace as a purifier whenever he is absolutely able. That's when he saw another booklet, “What's the new book for?”

"New book?" Zakari would, look at 'Suke in confusion before he looked in the direction of his gaze. Within a minute he was upon it, stuffing it into the recesses of his kimono blushing red. Someone, somewhere had answered his prayers and he was thankful for that. However they should have known that Zakari preferred petite girls over busty ones, and therefore this magazine was going straight to the shop for selling. Well...not after he gave it a once over, for the articles y'know?

"What is going on!?!" Zakari let out an exasperated cry, throwing his arms into the air. "Falling marbles? Rare tomes? Something is not right here and we have to get to the bottom of it Father! Will you lend me your aid?" Zakari stretched out an arm to Brother 'Suke, intent on taking any measures possible to keep the incident with the magazine out of his mind.

[Father 'Suke]

'Suke gave an astute nod in his ordinary reply to this individual while making sense of just what was happening on in the area and around him nonetheless. He thought the events were strange indeed while pocketing the marbles now and looking at the boy while still very curious as to what that book was to begin with. “First things first, that book had you blushing too red for the moments notice, mind letting me know before I make any note of helping you?” He took his hand, holding it kindly while he only held a firm knowledge of what was to be in the noticeable agenda.

It was at that moment he noticed the pounding stomps of a turkey that was actually about his height. His six foot and eight inch height smaller than this giant thing... It aggravated him to no extent while he narrowed his eyes and jumped backwards, avoiding the beak with excellent form. With the form of his hand seals breazing though he first created the numerous lightning sakura petals of electricity before performing the second set of hand signs to follow. The number of them flying in a tight circle before rushing in at the turkey's obtuse body. If all went well, the turkey would be shredded into hundreds of bite size pieces or rather turned to ash through the number of electrical cuts.

'Suke noticed another individual appear among this moment as well, one whom he had met before. The bird man whom he had a bad feeling of but ultimately considered relatively harmless in retrospect as he popped his neck and put a hand gently on his hip, “Yo Birdy-san.” A comical nickname he had picked out just for this individual alone. Due to the hold on the hand seal necessary for these techniques he kept it held, furthermore just to control in case more creatures were to pop up at him.

The petals last until the user chooses to dispel them. The user can control these techniques in a fifteen meter radius around them.

This lasts as long as the user holds the ram seal.

Zakari was thankful for the giant turkey attack. While Brother 'Suke was busy dispatching his foe Zakari took advantage of the distraction to hide the magazine under a nearby rock. Bent down he noticed two individual pens, laying neatly on the ground side by side. They were unlike any other pens he had seen before and may have been valuable so he picked them up and turned back just in time to see the good Brother kill the turkey with what seemed to be a very beautiful lightning tech.

He also noticed a new individual in their midst, a bird man...giant guy thing? No idea as to how to address him back Zakari gave the bird man a courteous bow in return. "Hello Val'shua, did you happen to see anything strange from up in the air this morning? You won't believe the things that have been happening to us," he asked the bird man, all the while trying to keep the conversation going away from the magazine as the good Brother seemed unlikely for forget.

Val'Shu smiled t the nickname. It was better then harbinger of death, which he had goten by many before. He dodged to the left as the massive sword fell from the sky. "I have been noticing strange things, there are far more phantoms out today then normal days." He nodded gently as he took the blade for his own. "WOuld you all care for some Saki?" Lumia would land next to him carrying a massive jug of saki upon her back.
