forgive me, i just wanted to add more visual to my posts instead of repetitiveness in technique.

0007 // 0010

After my respite, I had chosen to repeat the steps that I had just accomplished. There had been a sailor to pass by -- I would have chosen to kill him had I not been so pressed to learn this basic technique.

Once more, I returned to the depths of the ocean by way of Suichuu. Chakra flexed above my physical as water pushed out of my vision and away from my body. Just what was Reptile's purpose? I could have drug the seaman down here with me, to test his proficiency in maintaining this Suiton jutsu. Oxygen started to form in my nose and mouth as I pushed chakra into my face, causing the water medium to deteriorate into lesser molecules. From the blood of Dragons that coursed through my veins, it had been easy to peer into the layers of blackness that I had been presented with. Schools of small fish swam away from me hurriedly as I started to shift towards them. I wondered if using a sword underwater would prove vital, yet I opted against trying it. For now, I would stick to learning the jutsu and focus on using it for tactical espionage reasons. 

Upon my return to the surface, the pressure in my ears began to fade as I started to hear the sounds of merrymaking above on the dock. Had anyone else asked me of my endeavors, I would simply hiss at them in Aklo. No one questioned Reptile.

The sailor simply shrugged and went on his way.

The current weapons that I had on my person had not been discreet in any fashion. The large quiver easily showed the contents within its slots and my composite bow could be noted across my torso. To my right, the katana I possessed hung down, which too was visible to others. I could change the way that I held the thing, but I would require smaller weaponry if I were to conceal my attacks in Losiel. Avoiding a large portion of the crowd, I stepped toward the market place in search of cheap cloaks and small piercing weapons.

Moving quickly, I approached the third stall that seemed to be selling apparel. My disguise from before would still be applied to my features as I leaned in and inquired about the clothing items.

"Cloaks.. do you have them?" My voice was low, loud enough for only the merchant to hear over the music playing in the center. I had meager means of ryo within my purse, hopefully I could haggle the person behind the counter if necessary. I was not to good at these interaction things. I took note of the weapon smith, but decided to not bother him unless I had to.

[Karissa Byers]

The white haired woman wandered through the night market, the light falling over her face occasionally would reveal fairly gaunt cheeks. She was not quite as thin as when she had been released from her quiet little shed with all the dolls she had created. Looking around the markets she was in awe of everything that was there, finally as she search there was something shiny that had caught her attention. Pulling Mr. Snuggles along, Karissa headed for the stall which held the glittering object.

[KoKoKo]

//Enter

Takydromus had just disembarked from the ship and began the pat down to make sure all his items were still attached to his body. Against the scaly metallic blue skin the harness over his upper body coupled with the blue shorts that match his skin tone near exactly. Upon his back, attached to the harness the Halberd given to him by his family rested ready for quick grab. On his belt a buttbag filled with a slot of, explosive, flash , smoke and goo pouches along with 9 slots of kunai. Two soldier pills and two blood clot pills also sat in the pouch whilst the compass was sat upon his belt next to the two medium clay pouches and one sannin size, each full of clay (total 140 slots). Takydromus's nails had been sharpened to an almost claw like state and then on each hand the signature mouth of the Sankuichi was almost hidden from view.

As Takydromus made his way from the boat to the meeting point he stretched out and reached his hand through the spike like hair on his head. With a smile on his lizard head Takydromus continued his walk. Following his compass Tak made his way to the dock and meeting point for the quest, he didn't know anyone else who would have arrived or if they even had arrived yet all he knew is that hewa the onlymist shinobi there.

The merchant showed me my options and I looked over the second one a while, before my eyes returned to the green one. I had a choice: which would compliment my disguise the most? Seeing no black cloak amongst the wares, I quickly spoke out once her leer fell upon me.

"I will take the green one, seller." I spoke low as I carefully reached for my purse, in an effort to not draw unnecessary attention to me. The merchant, too, would note how passive my movement had been and had no reason to alert any authority. This would be a swift transaction given the woman's actions.  In my hand lay a purse full of 2100 ryo, a hundred of that I had taken from the clutches of an earlier pickpocket.

900? My eyes studied the woman's flat countenance as she crossed her arms. Her words pierced my ears as I fought back the anger to say "to hell with it all" and just attack her. Keeping my cool, I chose to interact with this woman more -- she had been a Thean native and knew more about this port town than I.  

"This shop is well-kept," I said, looking around the place as if to add truth to my words. I looked at the other presentable wares and the way that the merchant had set up shop. Whether or not her visage softened to my compliment would be upon her consciousess, I knew how to utilize my serpentine tongue for more than just reflexive flicking. 

"Here." I began to count out the coin and placed it on to the table as I awaited her movements. The cost of the green cloak had not been too much, but I had other motives and a bit more ryo.

The time I had spent at the stall would not affect anything that mattered to me. The ship was still docked, and now, it seemed, that the patrolling officers would make their way past me. Of course, they had free will to do as they please, but in my action of passiveness, they surely had no reason to bother the docile Reptile.

Taking my chances, I did something that I would have no usually done. I could have asked about information on the ship docked within the port, yet I felt that this woman knew not of its purpose. Instead, I tried my hand at another gambit.

I would throw down another 100 ryo onto the table, "Where could I find small weapons, if any, around here?" I inquired coolly. In the way that I had asked, it seemed like I was only curious; had she taken my offer as a bribe, then she could have replied 'no.' Yet what person would turn down coin?

Reptile was not only a haggler for wares, but information.

Had my guise been lowered, she would have seen me smiling at her with a mouth full of serrate incisors. I retrieved the item from the woman's clutches and departed her stall. In the instant that I had left the place, I threw the cloak over my person. It fit perfectly over my shoulders as I walked in the direction that the merchant had pointed me in. Reptile did not want to seem human to these people, he just continued to increase his disguise to further keep them from finding out about his lineage. A few meters away from the stall, I entered into the crowd now full of law enforcement. They did not bother me by being here, as I was sure enough in my guise that they had not suspected me to. Casually, I pushed through the crowd and received no harsh remarks on my appearance.

My hands shifted the cloak in a way to fit towards the right side of my body, thus allowing it to cover a large portion of the katana I kept sheathed on that side. With the forest green apparel, it would not be easy to discover what lay underneath its folds, especially in the nighttime setting. Had I had smaller items, they could have easily been tucked away with the five slots of this much needed piece of equipment. I made sure to keep my large quiver and bow above the cloak, at least to let others who watched me know that I was an archer. 

The walk over towards the man had not been a long one. He sat beyond the reaches of the large crowd in an area were heat resided in a great amount; yet I remained unfazed by the temperature increase. Before I would approach the smithing man, I made sure that the rest of my getup had been in place. The hood had remained over my crown and the black cloth stayed put across my mouth and nose.

"Evening." I would say in a deep tone, sure to keep my distance from the man a bit as to further mask my countenance. If the apparel addition did not work, then perhaps the ever-present shadows of night would do the trick.

From here, I began to tell my story: "I am in search of weaponry and I hear that you know where to find it.." my voice trailing, I turned and motioned to the third stall of the market place. Surely he would know of the woman.

[Deleted]

Walking away from the pair it would seem as though it wouldn't escalate to much. The man would seem to have taken notice to Shiki and would walk away and so as the man did, so did Shiki. Returning to the dock he would find another strange looking fellow. A lizard. One with scales and devilish demeanour but stood poised like a human. Interesting. Approaching his new found entertainment he would smirk and say "Wow. You must have pissed off some evil witch to get that ugly huh buddy?" His words were just mere jokes, it was his way of talking after all.

Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Can be learned by an Animal. A failed check indicates that the character is oblivious until the thing is pointed out to him. This skill is important for ferreting out advancing enemies or ambushes, generally real-time events and actions occurring, versus scrutiny, which covers static objects or areas. A Game Master may roll an Observation skill check for a Character any time there is an NPC, monster, event or happening that a character might notice, even if he did not specifically state that he is monitoring his surroundings. Characters are capable of noticing any event within their perception. Observation reveals only facts, not motivation. Each time learned user gets 1 die roll to increase the skill. If you are Schooled in Anthropology you gain a +10% synergy bonus with Observation checks that involve noticing disguise checks.

The young woman looked in awe over the contents of the market stall, hardly listening to what the man said. Reaching down to something which caught her eye the white haired woman would pick up perhaps one of the objects that shined the least. It was a ring inlaid with a stone that seemed to be spherical in it's shaping, yet as she turned the ring in her fingers the genin noticed it had more of an egg shape to it. While she was examining the stone's shape she noticed it's coloring, it took on a reddish brown hue a tiny bit more red than brown to it. Looking at it with awe, the shiny golden coloration of the ring caught her eye perhaps almost as much as how little the stone shone compared to the rest.

If the girl knew more of precious metals she would know that the metal shone more brightly than gold should, identifying it as brass. Looking over the setting of the stone Karissa would make note of the wire like strands of metal coming from the base of the ring and wrapping around the stone slightly with it's shape to keep it in place. Setting it back down in the place she had retrieved it from, the young woman gazed in awe of a piece she had not noticed before. This one was a silver ring with no stone, a flat, circular area with a small carving on it in place of a stone. She reached down and picked up the signet ring, surprised by the weight of it, for it felt much lighter than she had thought it would by it's appearance.

She marveled at the weight, unknowing of how many pieces of cheaper jewelry were simply plated with a more precious metal. After a moment she returned to herself and examined the ring more closely, taking a look at the engraving. The craving one the circular surface was one with a border of nine crescent moons, surrounding the main design which was a fox chasing after two ravens. Fascinated by the design of the ring she smiled up at the man, staring into his pale green eyes. "This pretty. I can have?" Perhaps not the most elegant way to speak, but as she looked at the man himself she could see bags under his eyes as if he was having trouble with sleep.

[KoKoKo]

Making his way towards the guards before him Takydromus gave a slight smile, My name is Takydromus, chuunin of mizugakure and I was summoned here by Queen trinity He presented the letter as proof of his invite.

[Hoarfrost Imp]

Everything didnt add up. First there was indeed a body, who put it there? No idea. No was for Rahael to track it, however there seemed to be new several new faces among the crowd. Her all seeing eye faced towards the boat. One man was presenting a letter, another woman had shone up too. "Interesting!" Rahael chirped and bounded along the path towards to boat.

[Damien Krauss]

After his trip to the shop El Ninja was ready. As he found the docks there was a clear smile on his face. The place was beautiful and exciting it almost seemed lucky he got the letter. El Ninja came well-dressed wearing his signature black cloak which had black decorations around it which went down to his legs. Within his cloak concealed a gas mask and filter type E, 3 spare red dot sights, a baseplate compass and a world map scroll. Beneath the cloak El Ninja wore a black shirt that reads “El Ninja” across his chest in silver text. He wears matching black pants that have a quiver around his waist as a belt. Within the quiver are 40 bolts equipped with specific tips, shafts and fletchings. All of the tips were set to explode on contact. Within his cloak is also a 150 pound compound crossbow equipped with a red dot sight.

With each step El Ninja took towards the dock he could feel himself more excited. The wrestling mask he wore covered everything besides his eyes, ears, nose and mouth. The smile upon his face was quite clear. Around his forehead El Ninja wears his sound headband proudly over his mask. At 5 foot 1 El Ninja was considerably shorter than the two men waiting near a ship. They had a similar armor to the man he’d met in sound so they were his first stop. Pulling out his letter El Ninja approached them. ”Am I in the right place? This letter told me to come here.”

When waiting for the guards a rather short person appeared and from his mouth was uttered something he took quite personally. No! This is the skin of my clan... though my skin is not this colour naturally... What's it to you? The smirk when the other person spoke made Takydromus a little more annoyed and offended by what was said.

ooc - sorry Ioshi, didn't realize it was me you were talking to

[Deleted]

No! This is the skin of my clan... though my skin is not this colour naturally... What's it to you?

The lizard creature sounded very annoyed and upset and in all honesty, Shiki expected that because he knows that he doesn't really have a filter in the way he speaks. Curiosity is what kills him the most. Being so curious about everything usually just leads him to say and do things that could easily be taken into offence. "Oh nothing much. I just thought someone did that to you and I wanted to learn how so I can put a curse on someone one day but apparently its not a curse its a life choice." Shiki smiled a big smile that made his eyes disappear, almost smirking as he talked. " Though now that I look at it, it does look really cool. Can you do that tongue thing that lizards do? "

ooc- np i probably should have made it more obvious
