Travel to Yuki

[Spirit™]

Parvati walked calmly away from the gates of Konoha. Moving what used to be Sayuri's body with ease, she maintained a deliberately slow pace. Knowing she would be taking this body to a cold climate, she dressed appropriately. She wore a black spandex shirt that exposed her shoulders, with black sleeves that had red lining along the wrists and covered her arms completely. Over the spandex was a violet robe that ran from her shoulders to her upper thighs. A purple sash with furred white lining ran tightly across her midsection. Black spandex shorts were worn under the robe, and in the corner of the robe is a black teardrop that could also be found on her black metallic necklace. Knee high toe less boots covered her calves and feet, completing the outfit.

The village headband Sayuri had worn proudly when she was younger was stashed safely away in her butt bag. No use starting unwanted conflict just yet. Parvati thought, her features emotionless. Scanning through Sayuri's memories as needed, Parvati quickly ran through her inventory of weapons and equipment, more out of Sayuri's lingering habits than her own. Slung across her chest and over one shoulder was a back quiver, stocked fully with a variety of arrows. 7 with broad head points and razor bladed fletchings, 5 with blunted points and vane fletchings, 2 with fish points and feathered fletching and 1 with a mechanical point and a feathered fletching. A 30lb recurve bow was slung loosely over the opposite shoulder, possibly giving the look of a novice marksman, but people were allowed to draw their own conclusions.

Parvati ran the hands of her newly acquired flesh through the butt bag, her fingers brushing over the five smoke grenades, 1 lensatic compass, and 1 world map concealed within. Everything she needed at the moment was within her grasp, and now she was free to search for the items she needed to bring her vengeance within reach. She needed to find passage on a vessel of some kind to sail the waters to Yuki. Taking out the map and compass, she glanced it over briefly, checked the compass, and began walking at her slow deliberate pace to the port a few miles away.

Walking at a decent pace from the village gates, he still wore his matte black trench coat, covering most of his body. Hopefully it would keep him warm till he got to a shop in Yuki no Kuni. Rael forgot to go shopping for such an occasion before leaving the village. With a deep sigh, he fiddled around with his clothing, putting into place the embroidered black cloth he tended to wear all the time. He felt all the senbon and shuriken he held on his body. Eventually, he wouldn't need to use such items, he would have no use for them. Rael had read about using gems as throwing weapons, which intrigued him.

Returning from the deep daze he was in, his pursed lips turned more into a frown. What could he gain from going to Yuki? He did not know. Who knows, his life might become forfeit and he could die in the snowy landscape. Apparently there might of been some tension from Konoha and Yuki for some while now. Well, from what he gathered from Gosei. He removed the village headband from his body and placed it in one of his pouches he always seemed to have. Taking out the travel pass, he re-read it again. This would grant him safe passage when traveling to Yuki no Kuni. A scowl formed, wondering why he took such investigation. The necromatic arts has always snared him and made him seek it out. It was going to be his death at the end most likely.

Returning, yet again, to focus to his surroundings, he saw a woman looking at a map. Maybe she could help him get to his destination. Putting his shit eating grin back into place, he jogged over to her, trying to get her attention. "Hello, my fair lady! Such a beauty shouldn't be left alone outside the village. There are plenty of enemies out to get us shall we lower our guard."

"Hello, my fair lady! Such a beauty shouldn't be left alone outside the village. There are plenty of enemies out to get us shall we lower our guard." The younger male's words drew Parvati from her deeper thoughts, bringing her attention to the here and now instead of the future she wanted so badly to control. Conversation with the human in the long, dark cloak was not something she wished to partake in, nor did she find any solace in the thought of being in the company of a lesser being during her travels. However, she knew moving forward with her plans for the future would involve interaction with the ants she planned to squash, so what better time than now to begin developing her own human like facade?

"Hello." Parvati responded in a plain monotone voice. "Your accompaniment on my travels to the ports would be greatly appreciated. I have business which needs attending to in the Land of Snow, and I will be arranging transportation via ship once I reach the ports." Parvati would then manage her warmest smile, which may or may not seem awkward to the male due to Parvati having not smiled in a very long time. A very, very long time. Parvati would then turn away and continue walking at her deliberate pace towards the port town depicted on her map.

OOC: Feel free to guide us to the port in the midst of whatever conversations during your next post. I'll cover the boat travel, and then we can both do an exit post, so we can save time and get to the event as soon as possible. Hopefully that's okay?

Rael raised an eye brow at the monotone response. She seemed off, or more or less eccentric. 'Might have to keep on guard with this one.' Rael paused in thought for a moment. She probably could take care of herself, and she was going to the land of Snow. He could easily travel with her to gain some sort of protection while traveling. He did also have a travel pass to make the trip easier on him as well. "I see, I too am going to the Yuki no Kuni. The kage allowed me to have a travel pass to make sure my travels there would be smooth. Apparently he wants to sow the seeds of trust with them. I wanted to ask what happened between the two nations, but that would have been for another day." Taking out the travel pass, he handed it to the girl so she could inspect it her self.

"Well then, let us go to the ports and get t our destination in due time then. I'm sure you will come to enjoy my company. I am truly blessed to be surrounded such noble Hyuugas all the time. Tell me, have you been around Kyodai or Tamako?" Following her pace towards the port, Rael just did small talk with her.

Parvati wasn't interested in maintaining conversation with her new companion until she really started listening. There was apparently, a history between the two native villages in the Lands of Fire and Snow. Perhaps even, a history of violence. She made a mental note of this as something which could possibly be manipulated in the future and continued to listen as the two traveled. When the male attempted to hand over the travel pass for her to inspect, she would instead refuse in her signature monotone voice.
"I do not possess any authority over you in an official capacity, so there is no need for me to verify your papers."

As the two neared the port and continued their conversations, Parvati sensed the male had a reverence for those of Hyuuga blood; however, she couldn't decide whether he truly felt this way, or was trying to lower her guard by complimenting her current hosts bloodlines.
"Tell me, have you been around Kyodai or Tamako?" The male asked.
"I am unfamiliar with those individuals." Parvati responded. "Am I correct in assuming them to be of Hyuuga origins?" She cared not for the answer, but wondered what other topics of importance this male might be willing to divulge. Remembering humans placed a great importance upon their own titles and names, she decided to finally request his in order to gain a small measure of his trust.
"Is it customary for two individuals to travel together without knowing the others name? I am Sayuri."

They would reach the port a few moments later and as fortune would have it, there happened to be several ships docked. Parvati would make her way to a smaller ferry setting sail to the Land of Snow. After paying a small fee, she would board the ship and wait for her new companion to join. When all the passengers were boarded, the ship would leave port and set sail. As the ship hit the open seas, it was at this time Parvati found how the rough swaying and bobbing of a vessel at sea disturbed her body in many different ways.

The girl Rael was with was certainly interesting. He could tell she was just ignoring most of what he said, but she did perk up when he mentioned the possible conflict. 'Noted' "It wasn't for you to hold any official capacity over my, my dear, but more or less to show you that we will have a safe voyage, with out much of a hassle." Rael quirked his eyebrow once again at the flat monotone voice. It was slightly annoying Rael a bit. But he had to make allies somehow! He wouldn't survive much while he was weak if he wasn't cordial with others!

"Ah, yes they are! They are so lovely to be around! A main branch princess and a branch medic. The medic boy, how should I say it, rather stoic and rigid. The princess, is well, a darling little princess...That packs a punch. I was just fortunate enough to be have a conversation with them, and helped them out a bit in a fight! I didn't do much, but between four people, the fight ended shortly" He skipped the main detail on how he was able to escape the majority of the fight with mere words. "But I do say, they always ignore and undermine my bewitching personality." With that in mind, he focused his will in his blood and sent forth an aura to affect her mood and personality towards him. Rael had to know if this was her default mood or a facade. Hopefully he could garner any true intentions, even for a brief time.

"Oh, I should scold myself on such lack of manners!" With an over exaggerated and dramatized motion, Rael did a simple bow before the lady, before coming up right. With arms stretched out, he introduced himself. "I am Rael! Illusionist of Konoha, at your service! Such a nice name, Sayuri!" Putting his arms back into position, parallel to his body. He saw the docks and boarded the same ferry as the Hyuuga. What was she going there for. In order to gain something, a small amount of truth should be executed.

"I do say, what are the coincidences of us both going to Yuki no Kuni? What are you goals for going to such place? Me? I aspire to learn about the dark arts of necromancy! I have heard they are having a little problem with a cursed land. I am wondering to see if there are any openings to the underworld for future investigations. The denizens of the underworld should have knowledge on such topic."

"Also, Once we arrive, I shall have to leave your side. I do need to do some shopping for adequate clothing."

[ooc: I know it says NPC only, but it is fun to do on PC's for RP wise.]

SPOILER: Click to show

Bewitching
Rank: "C"
Skill: Heritage Trait
Effect: A trait that allows the user to speak while manipulating the feelings of others.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Some humans have an uncanny ability to manipulate others, often due to an alluring physical trait. When dealing with NPCs whose starting attitude toward them is not Hostile, they can choose to use this ability to temporarily improve their attitude toward those NPCs by a greater degree than normal. When speaking, treat the NPC’s starting attitude as 1 level higher than it actually is for the purpose of determining their new attitude. The NPC’s new attitude lasts only for a number of minutes equal to 2 per Class level. After that time, the attitude returns to the state it was before the user spoke. If circumstances in the interim have rendered the NPC violent or hostile (such as from being attacked by the bewitcher), the NPC’s attitude remains where it is (rather than returning to its original state). This trait replaces 1 Freebies.
Limit: Must start with Character; replaces 1 Freebies.

Hearing the male speak of his former comrades was odd, as he heaped compliments on them; the compliments were a foreign sentiment Parvati had no chance to understand. While their conversation continued, Parvati began to feel as if male's presence no longer disgusted her. In fact, she began to enjoy his company. The sudden rush of such emotions, even just a small brush with them was enough to make her feel awkward and abnormal. They continued talking, going through their brief introductions as Parvati began to push the slight confusion she felt to the side.

An illusionist. She thought calmly, as Rael gave his name and title. There are a great many uses for a human with this skill set. As the ship sailed closer to the Land of Snow, the weather gradually chilled as did the topic of their conversation.
"I do say, what are the coincidences of us both going to Yuki no Kuni? What are you goals for going to such place? Me? I aspire to learn about the dark arts of necromancy! I have heard they are having a little problem with a cursed land. I am wondering to see if there are any openings to the underworld for future investigations. The denizens of the underworld should have knowledge on such topic."

Parvati listened to what Rael had to say fully before answering.
"Exercise caution when deciding to utilize the dark arts, especially those of necromancy." Parvati's voice was plain, yet a bit of darkness crept into her tone. "There can be no greater perversion, than that of the one who attempts to drink from the well and poisons both themselves and the ones around them." Truthfully, she didn't want a human to practice something reserved for gods and monsters, but if the Rael didn't heed her warning, he would learn the hard way for himself. "I have personal business to attend to in the Land of Snow, but we may see each other again if enough time passes."

The ship arrived in port a short time later. Parvati rose and began to exit the ship but then stopped and turned to Rael. "It has been a pleasure, Rael." Not knowing what else to say in her trademark plain tone, Parvati gave Rael an awkward smile and debarked the ship.


EXIT

Eye brow raised at the warning the girl gave? Has someone close to her dabbled in the dark arts? Rael would have to find out. "Its more or less for a personal reason, but I understand your warning. But do say, what if I am one of those monsters? It was nice traveling with you, I give you a farewell, till we meet again." With a theatrics bow, he too left for his destination
