Wandering the globe [Open]

[Runeska]

Along the water's surface, Aclime nearly soared, traveling at what could be a ridiculous pace. He'd left Mizu no Kuni long behind at this point, taking great leaping strides upwards towards Thunder. After a few hours, Mizu no Kuni began to fade away. Even later still, various other landmasses apeaered and dissapeared. It was only after he checked his compass to his map for directions, that he was sure he was one the right path. After all, everything looked the same at sea. There were no land marks, unless one counted the stars at night.

After what he believed to be the land of thunder appeared, Aclime checked his inventory. Kyuushi went at his waist, left side, while Tokihage went to his right. On his back, he wore the Tenkyo Buryoku. Next, he attached his gauntlets and his grieves, which paled in comparison of grandeur. In one pouch that he wore, there were 30 Hira shuriken, 3 blood clot and solider pills, and a gas mask with D filter. In another, there were 4 kunai, a knife, 40 exploding tags, and 32 makibishi. Once that was sorted out, he stowed away his compass, map known world, his bingo book, 30 Saddilia nuts, a bittermorn potion and his light shield, taking a field pack as well. Never knew.

Moved to Thunder

Soon, Aclime landed on the main continent once more. The air here was somewhat heavy, and cold as well being that it was winter. He wasn’t dressed very well for the weather, but perhaps well enough to survive as is. He stowed away all of his weaponry and such into a his field bag and stashed away his headband, lingering habit of a triple life. Gekkido had reverted their physical age back to 13. He still had his knowledge and the grand bulk of his skill, but his diminutive form held many different drawback as well. His mentality had become more unstable. His strength, while still monstrous, had fallen considerably, from what it once was.

It was no current problem though. He was simply exploring. Someone would call him back to the village eventually, or Gekkido would take them. Still, he wondered how he’d develop this time around. For now though, he needed to prepare himself for incase he couldn’t get much further tonight. Luckily, after a short travel inland, he came across a forest. Amongst all the lush trees in the area it was simple to collect enough firewood and such supplies. After clearing up a patch of land and digging himself a small pit, Aclime stacked some stones around it to serve as a fire pit, and thus sparked it to life with a bit of ration. As he nestled against the trunk of a nearby tree, he had to wonder, why did he never bring a tent… or at least a sleeping back. At least then he could be cozy. Right now, he probably looked like a runaway or something, at least, if his clothes were not of such fine quality.

[Ryusei]

Traveling through the forest in search of a good meal, Ryusei bathed himself in the crisp winter air. He was happy to be in Kumo; despite his tendency towards Katon ninjutsu, he never did too well in hotter climates. His trusty katana strapped to his back, and the four knives and sixty hira shuriken in his vest, he was certainly well-enough prepared for combat of any kind. Although he hoped simply to find some nice game, rather than become the game of another.

His Kumo-headband showing proudly, he trekked deeper into the forest, trying to stay quiet. This would have likely continued for a little longer, however, he would come to see a fire pit in the distance; a sure sign of life. It could simply be another Kumo-nin like himself; at best. At worst, it could be an S-ranked missing ninja.

But that was unlikely.

Regardless, he needed to ascertain who was in the area; definitely couldn't simply ignore it. Approaching the fire pit, Ryusei attempted to stealthily observe the life-form. However, in his inexperience, he couldn't help but accidentally rustle a leaf or two.

[Runeska]

Hm… so what to do? Night would probably be hair pretty soon. It’d likely be a few hours of traveling before he could find his way to a proper city. Maybe he could just find Sensei’s dojo? No… master Mai first and foremost was much further north than this. He’d be in the same predicament. Also, that didn’t leave into consideration, whether or not she’d moved to another area. It had been years since he’d last visited, so he was a vagrant disciple at best. Secondly, his current form would certainly surprise her, as he was also older last time.

Oh well, this was a time for new experiences, to get new take on the world and to complete their experi… CRICK! Something cracked nearby, as if something had step on sticks or bundles of leaves. Alarmed, Aclime rolled to his feet, the bag slipping from his back. He was careless, or so he could almost feel Gekkido scolding him. Friend or foe? Creature or man? Ok, definitely man. He could say so because… the intruder(?)… perhaps he was the intruder? Anyway, there was a male before him, infinitely taller, it seemed, spying on him, or at least, if it could be called spying from this distance.


“WAH!!!!!! Who are you!? WHAT DO YOU WANT!? I mean! Um! Hi?” he exclaimed loudly, hands up defensively, yet empty. Why was he on edge so much? Well, in a foreign land, someone had basically snuck to his doorstep, if he had one. No, this was more like wandering near someone who wasn’t paying attention. It seemed his mind more or less went absent minded to easily, even when compared to before. Maybe as he matured, that would go away? GERUGERUGERU!!! Eagerly, his stomach responded, announcing its presence and want of food. “Um… sorry!?” Immediately, upon hearing his nasally squeaky voice, he covered his mouth, annoyed at his own sound. Nevermind that he'd standing defensively a mere moment ago.
