Thanks for All the Fish (Open, Event)

[Lash]

I stepped quickly and quietly through the village gates, waving in silence to the ones on guard before looking out at the path before me. I hadn't done much around the village lately, so it would be nice to get out and about, visit some of the areas around the country, and just generally be a wandering spirit. To match the occasion of traveling, I had donned my preferential 'combat' attire - loose fitting navy leather leggings, white tabi and mocha geta, a navy undershirt covered with mesh, and a deep sapphire cloak. My katanas rested at either side of my hips, and a smile lay upon my porcelain face.

Eyes as visually cold as winter chose my path, and off I went. An excited determination ran deep through my bones, and I found myself bursting into a sprint, leaping high into the air before my geta clapped against a tree branch with a soft 'clack'. Leaping off once more, I continued to utilize this method of traveling, branch to branch, for about a half an hour before my exhaustion began to get the better of me and I came to a halt near a river, my body crouched, left hand touching the branch for balance, and observed the area.

Taking only a moment to assess any potential threats in the vicinity, I decided that I there were no potentially life-threatening hazards nearby and I closed my eyes. Inhaling deeply, I focused on settling my breathing patterns. As they returned to normal, I opened my eyes once more and exhaled. Pushing off gently from the branch, I gently fell to the ground, where, with a practiced landing, I stood and stretched.

Moving over towards the clear river, I glanced into the surface and found a large number of fish swimming. Grinning, I reached my hands into my pouch, pulling out several shuriken, and with a brief moment to calculate, I threw at the closest fish nearest to the surface of the water. The shuriken aimed true, striking four fish simultaneously with shuriken. Moving quickly over the water, I grabbed the dead fish, reclaimed and cleaned my weapons before storing them, and moved closer to shore.

After another brief expenditure of time in which I collected wood from my surrounding area and placing a circle of stones to form a pit, I found myself next to a roaring fire (only partially stroked from my ability to control the elemental nature of flame). The fish had been cleaned, gutted, and skewered over sticks that I had found while hunting for firewood, and they were cooking nicely.

I couldn't wait to chow down on the feast before me.

Himayi was traveling through the trees when the smell of food caught her attention. The young Inuzuka stopped in her tracks and took a whiff turning her head towards the direction. With a small grin she mad her ways towards the delicious meal before coming to find a person around a fire pit. "Hey there." She called out to get their attention before jumping down on to the ground. "I am Himayi Inuzuka it's a pleasure to meet you." She simply stood there eyeing the fish with semi open mouth as her stomach lightly growled.

The reason she had even come to the Land of Fire was to simply explore. She had no true hatred of this place considering this is her original home as an ex Hyuuga.  But that was irrelevant as she personally hoped for the young lady to share some of her food with her.

At the sound of another's voice I started. I hadn't sensed anyone's approach, and the arrival of another individual would have placed my original assessment of the location at a much higher survival risk. Of course, it was certainly possible for the individual to have just arrived, but that wouldn't change the fact that my mood switched instantly from jovial to wary. After resisting the initial urge to grab at my weaponry and prepare to defend myself, instead I found myself listening to the voice as it spoke, giving an identity - or, at least, something for me to call the stranger.

They didn't seem all too threatening, and my winter's eyes glanced quickly down the body of the individual for anything obviously dangerous and, upon not seeing anything, I found myself relaxing. I couldn't get angry about someone moving through the forests of Hi no Kuni and smelling the cooking fish, so I shrugged and introduced myself.

"Good afternoon, Himayi. My name is... Lash." The name came quickly to my lips, barely a moment of hesitation to give away the lie. It wasn't callousness, but giving away a true name was power in a world ravaged by warfare and rivalry. Forcing a smile, I continued speaking.

"A nickname, obviously. Are you hungry? I caught more fish than I could eat."

As I spoke, I gestured with my right arm, the cloak creating a grand and billowing gesture. It was as my eyes followed the gesture in the corner of my eyes that they spotted something strange on the ground. Amber rocks? I thought to myself, and took my eyes away from the potential threat long enough to glance at them. Rocks that color didn't exist in this land. Upon closer inspection, I discovered that they were actually alchemic items, and reached drop to grab them, opening my cloak to place them in my pouch.

"Lash." The name rolled off her tongue as a random person appeared out of know where.They reached behind her ear and pulled out a diamond which she kept for safe keeping. Himayi could make some serious ryo off of this so she slightly fist pumped to herself and to the fact that Lash would allow her to eat some of the fish she prepared."Thank youuuuu." Himayi chimed before trudging towards one of the fish and simply eyeing it. She gave it the look over before turning to Lash. "So what brings you out into these woods then?" Himayi politely asked with a smile. She wanted to at least get to know the girl.

Hades’s Pain — Not a sharp stabbing pain, but more of a 'my kidneys are on fire' pain.

[Lash]

My eyes followed Himayi as he accepted the random gem from a stranger, and somewhere deep within my psyche, I understood that there was something... strange going on here. It was right after Himayi spoke that I realized that there was another presence. Immediately put onto high alert, mine orbs of ice locked upon another spectacle and I let out a gasp.

Riding towards us was a... clown? On a unicycle?! The shock had me paralyzed, and I could offer no resistance as the wigged and made up man rode towards me, pulling out a rubber chicken and reached out, shoving it into the deep recesses of my cloak. And then, just as strangely as he had appeared, he was gone. Turning towards Himayi, I gave her a blank look and blinked.

"I would believe that I were in a dream. What is going on?"

[yu]

"Weird stuff like this has been happening all over." Himayi started until she screamed out in agony. Falling on to her back she clutched at her side which burned like hell. Her hand started to vibrate in green chakra the young medic trying to ease it but the pain was too great and she lost focus. Her chakra faded as she focused on taking deep breaths despite the constant burning. Whatever it was bothering her she just needed to wait it out. "Don't worry..." She choked out feeling bad to have most likely startled and worried the girl.
