Amekage Tower

[Lady Jaz]

The Tower of the Amekage

Ground Floor: Lobby & Lounge

Among much of the wetter parts of the building, the place that is trodden the most, is the first floor of the Amekage Tower. The first floor houses a few select areas for visitors to browse. Chief among them is the mission boards nailed to the wall and updated continuously by the few assistants that move about the lobby in place of the Amekage. This area is the lobby, and with the natural rain that occurs continuously outside, the floor is dimpled to keep individuals from slipping recklessly, but also cleaned every night to keep festering mud and waste out. This area leads to four separate parts of the entire building as well directly from the main lobby onwards:

• The lobby has an open area to the left that can be closed by movable blinders that functions as the dining hall. Suitable for sitting four tables of four, this room is for the rare occasions of dinner parties or the casual quick bite to eat which leads to the next area.
  
• Connecting behind rotating doors from the lobby or the two way opening push doors of the dining hall, is the kitchen with its second-rate appliances and cooking wares. However, this shouldn't be comparatively a let down as the kitchen itself houses a good many recipes and delicate chefs and servers whom bring about the best in every meal.
  
• The following section is the place where those who serve as assistants and workers of the tower rest. This area houses the chef and the two servers of the kitchen, the librarian, the lobby assistant, the linguist for national and international communications, the animal tamer for the village messengers, and the three on-staff AnBu whom serve the full time services of guarding and additional services as needed.
  
• The next part of the first floor the lobby connects to is the elaborate entrances to the basement or the next upper floor, guarded by an AnBu at all times. These entrances that lead to either one are housed in what can appear as a separate room in and of itself, but instead this is an elevator. This elevator hosting a checkpoint fashion where all materials and armaments are confiscated, this excludes clothing, but may be returned upon leave of the upper and lower floors.
  
• Basement – Amekage Permission (Written and Verbal)
  
• Second Floor – Amekage Approval (Written or Verbal)
  
• Third Floor – Amekage or AnBu Division Captain (Written or Verbal)
  
• Fourth Floor – Amekage Permission (Written and Verbal)
  
• Fifth Floor – Amekage Permission (Written and Verbal)
  
• Four Mouths – Only the current and dignified Amekage can access.

Basement: Village Vault

Once having past checkpoint on the first floor, the basement can be accessed and it is here that many secrets of the village are stored. What might those be, well no one will tell you 'cause they are secrets. The area below confines a large amount of storage mostly. The place houses from spoils of war to extra books and containers. This is also known as the vault as this is the place where the villages scrolls are kept as well. To have access to this area one must have permission from the Amekage, written and signed approval. Just having the Amekage with you will not aid you so to keep from henge or other camouflaged trespasses from working. There is indeed more space that can be filled but currently it is just the storage and acting as the Village's vault.

Second Floor: Library

This library houses all documents, books, ledgers, files, and other paper bound materials that one could possibly find in a library. With such, this place is similar to that of a normal library as aside from the numerous shelves that line the walls, the library itself has a few key desks, tables, and then the overseer clerk desk. The clerk's desk houses cameras and acts as security for the entire library as the check in spot is through the librarian's own desk spot. Every material is monitored whether housing secrets or not. It is for this reason that the library here contains more books than most. The documents here are subjected by a categorical system of three parts.

The first being named “Open section” as these books can be taken off the shelves and read through without any necessary guidelines. The second is notified as “Closed Section” as this will require the librarian's approval before reading, these books generally are those that help with skills of the sort in regions outside Ame no Kuni's own. The final is listed as “The Restricted Section” and these books require documentation from the Amekage to access these books. Grimoires and other dangerous books of such proportion that can be cataloged as dangerous for some to attempt reading. These books are also bound by lock and key when hitting the shelves for added security. The binding being that the book itself is chained to the bookshelf to keep from running off with the books.

• Open Section
  
• These are maps, reference books, etc.
  
• Generally books that do not aid the character would be in this section.
  

[li]Closed Section

[/li]

• These are skill books, maps with locations of other villages on them, etc.
  
• Generally books that do aid the character would be in this section.
  

[li]The Restricted Section
[/li]

• These are books of immense rarity or price.
  
• Any book that costs more than 30,000 ryo would be in this section.
  
• Any book from the "The Encyclopedia of Loremaster Linus Winterguest" would be in this section.
  
• Any other books from Linus’ Library would be in this section.

Third Floor: Council Hall

This hall is a round table of sorts where the council members, heads of AnBu, and the Amekage hold discussions for and of the Village. This is a room of relatively larger size than what it could be for a few viable reasons. The main one of them all being the statues of the past Kage lining the wall in a semi-circle. These Dignified Amekage who are positioned to look down at the table, are all standing on the side of which the current Kage's seat is. It is here that the past Kage are all remembered and can be comparably recognized together. These statues stand from floor to ceiling height. The meeting room's table is made of fine wood as are the seats for anyone and everyone around. For comfortable ease, the seating is cushioned with woven roots. The Amekage's seat however is cast metal, solid and unmoving. It is not hollow whatsoever and like the buildings outside it is unyielding to the torrents that come and go in this room.

Fourth Floor: Communications

This is where the messenger animals are sent to and from for decoding and encoding messages. The tamer works here alongside the linguist for appropriate lengths of time as to help the animals out that can fly, swim, or dig around the world to deliver the messages. There is a chute that allows for animals of the land to go down or up with ease to allow them to roam and go out into the world for their messages. Each message capsule used is water proof to allow the message to not be hindered by the outside elements. In this area as well is a desk in the very center, the stalls formed and situated to fit the animals as needed for decent availability. This is a floor with no windows but open gaps to allow other village and city message animals to come and go as needed.

Fifth Floor: Amekage's Office

The office of the Kage is of their own making and reflects their personality as well, for this the office is often seen to be changing repetitively for different and yet obvious reasons. However there are some things that never change. The desk in neat and tidy order with comfortable chair behind while there is a full glass panned window to view the village form such heights. One the ceiling is a mural that pictures every Amekage whom has come and gone from the office, which leads to point that the ceiling of the office is slanted. It inclines towards the desk as where the seats of visitors may see the ceiling that hosts the previous Kage.

The direction one enters the office is from behind the visitor seats, able to see the mural and Kage's desk in full view upon stepping into the office. Directly behind a door to the left of the Amekage's desk is the bedroom and houses the Amekage whenever the duties pile up and keep him/her from going home. The bedroom houses a bed, a dresser, and localized necessities needed for a bedroom itself. The bedroom has only artificial lighting, and is blocked out by all forms of sunlight and this is perhaps the reason there is always a home for the Amekage to go back to, one may jest.

Top Exterior: Four Mouths

The very top of the entire building and in full order as it can only be accessed by only those whom know how to. These individuals however are only the current and past dignified Amekage. The exterior showing off each wall having a large face with a tongue acting as a corner stone for the roof itself. Inside the northern face's mouth is the elevator that leads directly to the Amekage's office, separate of the main building's elevator that can only be accessed by the Amekage themselves. This position is to help watch over their village, from each mouth pointing in each of the cardinal directions themselves.

Credits to the Tower to Hachidaime Amekage

[/font][/blockquote][/div]

[Lady Jaz]

//Enter Yet again, another rainy day in Amegakure. The wind was up, whipping my fiery hair about and plastering it to my face. It wasn’t overly cold despite it being winter, but I felt a slight chill this morning. Dressed in a pair of baggy black pants and my trademark white bandage around my bosom, I was soaked to the bone and feeling rather energetic today. As I enter the tower, I notice immediately that the interior was busy as the workers milled around the lobby carrying stacks of papers and pushing boxes. As I walk further into the Lobby and head to the receptionist’s desk, the assistant perked up right away upon seeing me. “Lady Amekage! There you are!” The woman moved around the side of the desk and bowed low. “I don’t understand, I’m not the Amekage?” I reply, my tone surprised, probably just like my expression. “Pardon me my lady but yes you are. You were elected a few hours ago! Please follow me!” was my reply. Confused, I follow the woman and enter the elevator and watched as she pressed the button to the fifth floor. As the elevator began to rise, I turn to face her. “There must be a mistake, I wasn’t even notified of this!” I exclaimed as we rose up through the floors. “The staff have been attempting to contact you, but our attempts have been unsuccessful.” The assistant replied. I frown but say nothing. Millions of questions were swimming around inside my head. I simply just didn’t understand how I was elected yet I didn’t put my name in anything. When we reached the fifth floor, I follow the assistant to the Amekage’s office, my office and we enter. Inside there were a few boxes on the desk from the previous Kage and stacks of paper surrounding the desk to the left wall. Jesus… What a mess. “I must apologise for such a short notice but you will need to read and catch up on the village’s current affairs. The council will be in to visit you shortly.” And with that the assistant leaves me alone in the office without further talk. The council? But I didn’t trust the council. I sigh, this was going to be a long day... After I sat down at the desk, I began sifting through the papers aimlessly, hoping to find anything that may help me figure out what to do. --Two hours later-- After reading a great deal of information relating to the village, I had realised that Amegakure was not allied with any sister villages. This was a problem. And the council still hasn’t shown up. My attention went back to the fact that we have no allies. What would happen if another village were to suddenly attack us? What if we needed supplies and resources from another village? What on earth was the previous Amekage doing when they were in office? Sighing, I pick up a pen and begin writing letters to each village leader. --Thirty minutes later-- Once I had finished, I stand and order for ten messenger birds and attaches all letters to the compartments strapped to each bird and send them off with a simple order to deliver and return to Amegakure. Sent messages to all villages

[Lady Jaz]

After dispensing the letters out to all the neighbouring villages and sifting through more information upon my desk, I glanced over at the clock and sighed. May as well head over to the Embassy and see what has been going on over there. I just wished that Hitora was here to talk to. Maybe gain some advice or at least know if he’s Okay. But speaking of Hitora where was he? Swiveling around in my chair, I remembered sifting through a box that contained information on missing shinobi from Amegakure. Hitora’s name did pop up as did another few names. I empty the box of its contents and began flipping through the sheets until I spotted his name. The fact that the reason why he went missing remains unclear bothers me. Another brow riser is the last known sighting as well. That space is blank, it was as if he had simply vanished. Getting up off the chair, I quickly run out of the office and head to the elevator, hitting the ground floor as I stepped inside. After a few moments of decent, I dash out into the lobby. “I’m going to the gates and Embassy. If you want to contact me, send message to the embassy.” I said to the receptionist, startling them as I did so. Without waiting for a reply, I turn heel and run out of the tower and to the direction to the gates. //Exit

[~Emi~]

Enter the tower

E

mi flashed into the tower using his marker that was hidden behind one of the largdr pillars. He had to stop for a brief moment as he felt the sudden drop in temperature. It had been too hot for him in sand, making him enjoy the cold embrace of his hometown all the better. But as he began to walk through the tower towards the desk, he noticed that he had unordinary large amount of eyes following him. It gave him a bad feeling in his guts and he wondered if he just had gotten used to notice the spectators from being in sand or if something had happened with ame since he left. But to be safe he made sure to be vigilant as he came up to the clerk.

[Lady Jaz]

As the Jounin entered the tower, the great doors would close behind him with an audible thud. Immediately a large cloud of smoke would fill the room, revealing a series of AnBU agents of the village. Surrounding the Jounin were four Falcon, six Bear, two Dragon and two Cat AnBU Shinobi. Once the dark cloud of smoke cleared, one of the two AnBU Dragons would approach Emi while the remaining squad remained in place.
"Hoshigaki Emi, you are under arrest for treason, please raise your hands above your head and be stripped of your weapons. From there you will be escorted to the prison for questioning by Lady Amekage." The voice was male, strong and very assertive. "Alert Lady Amekage immediately that Mr Hoshigaki has been detained." The Dragon then said moments before the second Dragon disappeared with a puff of smoke. Meanwhile one of the six Bears approached Emi to remove his weaponry should he be carrying any.

[~Emi~]

Treason

E

mi halted as he got surrounded by the ANBU squads, something he really hadn't expected to appear. Since he was one of them, he knew what the formation meant before they had even opened their mouth, he was being considered a captive. When the dragon stepped out from the others and explained the reason behind their actions Emi immediately began to wonder what they had considered treason. The first idea that he came up with was simply that he was falsely accused from being in league with the council. But as he knew that the ANBU was infiltrated by the real traitors, he knew that it also could be a false arrest to get rid of competition. Which meant that he couldn't allow himself to surrender to possible assassins. So when they took a step forward, Emi slowly raised his arms on both his sides giving them a feeling of success, while only saying one word before instantly vanishing.

Interesting.

-Exit with Hiraishin-

[~Emi~]

The clone enters

A

lmost thirty minutes after the moment when Emi had vanished from the tower, his clone came sneaking back towards it while closely observing the surrounding area. It was obvious that there would be ANBU scouts around it, which meant that the clone had to be very careful as he moved around. Every meter that he closed in on the tower was well planned with perfect knowledge of how the city was constructed and as he didn't have any sign of chakra leaking out, he hoped that he would be completely invisible from the watchful eyes. When he had to get closer to the towers visitors, he made sure to find a long lasting hiding spot before he hunched down and listened carefully on the surrounding area and what ever people was talking about as they walked to and from the tower.

The AnBU had gone wild inside the tower. At the sudden disappearance of Hoshigaki Emi, everyone began moving around, barking orders and scouring the area. “Just remember, he is a Jounin and a member of the AnBU squads as well. He will know how to evade us to avoid capture.” The AnBU Dragon stated among the fury of the group. Tower staff busied themselves with taking orders and shifting paperwork; the entire tower had just turned to chaos.

However, after thirty minutes since Emi’s departure, the chaos had died down somewhat but the people inside were still cautious. Emi was able to observe three AnBU guards conversing... “...well he left the village without informing the Amekage or the tower. That is an act of treason.” A Bear AnBU stated to the Dragon. “Emi is a respected shinobi of the village, our Amekage was just elected she doesn’t know Emi like we do. I know for a fact that he would not betray the village.” The Cat countered. “I agree, but the Amekage - new or not - did order for his arrest. She doesn’t know why he left, all that Emi needs to do is to explain his actions to the Kage and things will be sorted...” The Dragon said softly. "Lady Amekage is just doing her job to ensure that everyone is safe and to clear things up.."

The conversation would then turn toward unnecessary banter about the council running the village into the ground and with a hope that the new Kage will sort things out. Emi will not be able to see anything else out of the ordinary.

[~Emi~]

The signal

T

he clone awaited long after the ANBU guards had moved on and observed the passer by ninjas. Thoughts went through his head as he tried to connect all the information with his possibilities. But as he constantly got back to the fact that the council was back in the tower, the clone finally had to accept that he knew what the original would want him to do. So he stood up from his spot and as he did, he felt the blood returning to the almost completely numb legs. The reconnaissance had been successful, but the clone still didn't like the fact that the other one had been allowed to walk around among people. It was however over, so he smiled and left his hiding spot and crossed the alleys until he finally arrived at the structure of the tower. As he knew there were only one way to tell his original about what was going on was to summon him, the clone came up with a way to attract the attention without disappear to send the information over. The plan was easy, he placed a seal upon the surface of the tower, which he normally never would do, even during a fight. So he did so and awaited in the shadows for the other two.

[~Emi~]

Enter

T

he original Emi slowly ascended from the stony street a few meters away from the mark that had been placed upon the tower and swiftly looked around to get a good estimate of the situation. When the clone had been found and had explained the whole result of the investigation, Emi's eyes opened wide as they were seeking themselves up the tower. His fury began to burn within him, the council had caused so much chaos and unnecessary split in loyalty among the ninjas.

well done

He just hissed out to the clone approximately at the same time as the second clone had approached them. The freshly arrived didn't dare to question the signal or what had happened, he saw on the face of his master that he just needed to follow. But before Emi himself made any move, he ordered the first clone to open up the security system beneath them and manipulate it. Since he had created the entire system of cameras, sensors and surveillance at the gate, he was one of few that could do it. The idea was to block out the signals from one fairly large section towards the gate, trying to fool the guards that he was assisting an outside force to get through unseen. When the clone nodded at him from making a successful attempt, Emi opened up his cloak in the front to reveal his dark ANBU robe underneath as he held his arms wide apart. A grin appeared as the claws launched out from his gauntlets and he leaped up on the wall before starting to slowly moving up, constantly moving into shadows or behind objects pushing out from the surface of the building.

Since he had moved around in basically every level in the tower, he was intimate familiar with how the structure was. So he made sure to only get close to windows that he knew would either not be guarded, or that he suspected the council could be hiding behind. He only allowed himself small quick glances through the windows to avoid possible detection. When he finally found the most promising window to reach the room of the council, Emi stopped and looked down upon the clones following him and awaited their determined nods.

Let's do this

Emi said with a fairly loud whisper before taking a deep breath.

[Lady Jaz]

Upon Emi’s return to the Tower, the chaos had indeed died down as it appeared that the AnBU had not been successful in their attempt to recapture him. Although there were a few guards left in the Tower, Emi’s decision to enter through a window had proven beneficial for the Jounin as he would stumble upon Hayakawa Motoyuki, the council member responsible for the prison and its services. He was seated behind a desk inside the room with his back to the window.

Hayakawa appeared unconcerned about the events occurring around him and was leafing through a few pages upon the desk at which he sat. However, no other abnormalities would be visible to the young shinobi. What would he do with this information?

[~Emi~]

the capture

T

here were a brief hesitation in the Hoshigakis first step into the room from the window, as he didnt dare to make a sound. The sitution was risky for him and he was moving in on some experienced opponents in the middle of a hornets nest. But he just took a deep breath and poured some more positive thoughts in his head while trying to be more in the present. To use the opportunity to his advantage, he analyzed the information he had about the man in front of him. Sadly he found that he knew too little other than what he wad responsible for, forcing him to improvise.

So he had his clones to move to the sides of the room while the original got up behind the chair. He extended his fingers completely as a dim aura covered his person. Emi then activated chakra drain in his left hand as he took the last step up behind the chair. An aimed stab then went towards the right arm of the councilman. It was meant to nail him to the table right before Emi placed the left hand across the mans mouth, both to silence him but also to paralyze his entire body. To dampen possible scream of pain further, the clones shut the door to the room with a medium loud slam.

You know who i am and what situation you have put me in, so lets have this simple and quick. Where... are...the rest?

As he asked the question Emi pushed the claws further down in the table.

Stealth: 272 with opponent gaining -75 on observation
Damage to the arm 146
Using chakra drain paralysis

[Lady Jaz]

At the first touch on the floor made by the clones and the true Emi, Hayakawa’s body would disperse into a large puff of smoke, revealing a broken mannequin sitting in the chair. The young councilman would no longer be seen and sirens would begin screaming from all around the tower. With the building now on lockdown, Emi would hear footsteps from the outside suggesting that the guards were heading toward his position straight away.

Should Emi attempt to leave the tower, the sound of a weapon being unsheathed would echo throughout the seemingly empty room. And should the Jounin recognize the genjutsu and dispel it, he would find all seven council members standing in a tight circle around him and the two clones that accompanied him; each wielding a blade with the point aimed at his chest.

Jutsu Used by Hayakawa:

[Lady Jaz]

//Enter The storm was now at its peak, the winds slicing through the village at dangerous speeds and gusts strong enough to knock barrels of sand over. The tower loomed over the village while rainwater dripped and ran off the corners of the roof like a waterfall. The sound of running water and rain was so loud that it was literally all a person could hear from the outside. I pull the hood of my cloak over my head and huddle into it as I approach the doors and try them. At first the door wouldn’t open. So I knock. A lone AnBU opens one of the double doors and straightens when he sees me. “Come in, my lady.” I hear his deep voice say as he steps aside and allows me to enter. “What’s going on?” I ask, my tone annoyed. “Hoshigaki Emi had shown up a few hours ago before we tried to arrest him. He used hirashin as his means of escape and has not been seen since. We have all the squads searching for him as we speak.” A female cat had said after approaching us. When the sirens went off again, my head jerked toward the receptionist’s counter to where dozens of people were hovering around. AnBU were moving quickly now, all heading toward the stairs and elevators in the centre of the tower. “Now what’s happening?” I ask, looking at the chaos unfolding around me. “It appears as if one of the rooms in the top floors has been infiltrated. We are suspecting Emi to be behind this.” The Dragon said. “Take me there now.” I said after a few minutes of silent deliberation. The Dragon exchanged an unknown look with the Cat before eventually nodding. This annoyed me, but I will deal with that later.

[Celaena Kamyuja]

Enter // a new beginning 

Celaena Kamyuja exited the tunnel and surveyed the view. The metal pipeline she stood on overlooked the village, cut by twin streams that fed a sprawling lake. The moon rose in the east, casting the view in vibrant light. Her expression was confident, however, her eyes wary. She launched herself from the pipe and landed with catlike grace in a crouch below it. Her long, dark black hair swung across her shoulders as she inspected the area side to side. Gracefully she rose to her full height and made her approach to the shadows of the buildings. The direction of her movement: The Tower.

The female ventured out of the cover of buildings to stare up not only at the tower which stood before her but also at the gathering clouds churning above the village. The storm was moving in faster than predicted, as it often did in Amegakure. Fingers of fog, pushed by the building wind, cloaked the land ahead of the storm, covering the coastland and everything in a wet, gray blanket. The skies continued to cry and with the wind, it made everything all the more chilly. Approaching the building which housed history, the tower would offer her shelter from the biting wind and rain, but would it offer her solace in anything else?

Mindful, her fingers reached for the door handle however when she tried it, the door wouldn't budge. A crackle of thunder rumbled all around her and annoyance rose swiftly from deep within her, lifting its head with deficient persistence Is this how I am to be considered? Like a damn rat?! Her right fist would slam onto the door, hard enough to allow each and every one knows that an angry woman was outside demanding entrance, professionally. By all means, she had the strength to slam the door off its hinges but then there would be war and she simply wasn’t in the mood to even lift a finger. Eternal sleep for a hundred years would do that to any individual. What are they going to do? Punish her for being a little cranky? The female Kamyuja was far from impressed.

She was seconds from saying 'fuck it' and kick the entryway down when she heard sirens.
“I didn’t do it.” She muttered and brought down her right leg, reclining to check whether she could see another way in.

[Lady Jaz]

~Emi~ ; Roll - successful
Celaena Kamyuja ;

A feminine voice spoke through the cat's mask. The door was opened slightly but wide enough for the kunoichi to see a little bit of the commotion occurring inside the tower. A large mass of people were moving around in the lobby and a woman with long red hair tied back into a ponytail was standing 3 meters into the lobby talking with a small group of AnBU surrounding her. "If it is an appointment with the Amekage, you will be required to reschedule as she is busy dealing with a crisis." The cat AnBU said, her tone firm.

Ambushed

T

he vision that met him in the room had him freeze, the focus of his gaze had vanished and despite that he had expected to surprise the councilman, he himself was getting fooled. But as he heard the moving around in the room and his eyes was able to follow it, he was successful in penetrating the illusion he was surrounded by. The young Hoshigaki's day was starting to get significantly worse by the minute and the fact that he could barely move without walking into blades had him sigh out in frustration. But as he saw the faces behind the weapons and analyzed the scenario, a grin became clear upon his face.

You are all here.

Since he knew that all of them were skillful in their own ways, he made sure skim across them to have a fair idea of their current demeanor while he swiftly came up with a plan. As he felt safe against a brief encounter, Emi felt confident that he wouldn't need to retreat once again. So instead he channeled his divine powers, having dark purple chakra surge across his body right before a pulse of it went out in all directions. It ended up reaching approximately 50 meters in all directions from the boy, making most if not all of the tower affected by an immense pain that was at the same level as being skinned alive. If successful Emi would instantly stab his own clones in their back, which was only answered with a shocked "Why" from them both. But Emi just remained smiling as he felt the great sensation of the clones pain hit him. That allowed him to regain most of the lost powers from the long day, preparing him for further surprises.

I hope you all understands that this will only get worse if you do not surrender and come clean.

After almost two seconds of Emi swiftly going through the desk, the clones had reformed and muttered some furious remarks as Emi ordered them to get the door and the window entrance. They both hesitated for a brief moment as they wanted to object, but then knew it was in vain to fight the order and erected a water wall in front of both the locations by gathering the material from the air. They then awaited for possible forces to arrive while stretching and preparing to boost their physical traits.

what disrespectful behavior

As she searched back over the span of years to where it all began, her mind always seized upon that dark day when she first knew that there would be uncertainty, yes, and even fear and pain. For a lady of her character should never allow emotions such as annoyance cloud her mind. Her face should always remain a mask, even if deep inside she wanted to scream and act like a spoiled child. The sound of the door opening before her jolted her out of her own musings and she looked up to find a cat mask staring down at her. The smile she secretly practiced never fully finished the stages of reaching her face. Especially not after what the woman before her said and how she said it. Such rudeness!

“What I want? I would like to be out of this weather. And I would like to speak to whoever is in charge. Am I not a citizen of this village? Or do you treat everybody like this? I hear the sounds of sirens, and there is obviously a commotion where I could be of use rather than being treated like an insignificant pest on the doorstep of a building where employments are frequently given to the individuals who inquire for them.”

A step would be taken to bring the Kamyuja closer to the Anbu cat. And by such movements would cause the Anbu to have no choice but to step back and allow the Kamyuja through. As soon as the door closed behind them, a hiss of discontent was torn from her red lips as she did a quick once-over of the lobby [Observation] before her chilly gaze rested on the veil of the feline Anbu. “And what crisis do you speak of? With my status as a Chunin, wouldn’t we all be summoned if something critical was taking place? Or did passing the exams end up being a waste of my time and that of my follow Chunins? I hear the commotion and I am needed. Direct me to someone or shall I take matters into my own hands.” [Persuasion] [Intimidate]

Finally, the female would rest her left hand on the hilt of her sword and she would continue to stare down the Anbu. “I do not see you moving. Did I not make myself clear, Anbu.” With a wave of her right hand she would signal a dismissal, all the while her eyes would take in the commotion before and around her.

With the door behind her, and the Anbu to her right slightly standing before her, and red-haired stood directly before her, her back to the Kamyuja, and about ten steps would check the separation it would take for the Kamyuja to reach the red-haired and that group if she so decided. The uproar was loud. But everything was clear. Something serious was going on and she was going to find out.

[Lady Jaz]

~Emi~ ; ...Trapped within the circle of the council, not one member spoke to the Jounin as he addressed the fact that all seven members were within the room. However at the sound of the ding! of the elevator signalling that a party had arrived to the third floor, that left exactly one second before the door to Hayakawa’s office being blasted open as three Bear AnBU, a red haired woman dressed in a black cloak, black baggy pants and a bandage strapless top and four Cat AnBU piled into the room…. The seven extra AnBU entrants took up residence in a circle behind the council surrounding Emi while I remained in the doorway taking in the situation [observation] and noting that Emi had been surrounded by all seven council members. I was shocked upon seeing how the council was behaving and wanted to know why. But upon seeing Emi’s current predicament, a counter attack was imminent [Sense Motive]. “Emi, don’t do this.” My voice spoke softly, recognition flooding my features as I eyed the angered Jounin standing in the middle of the room. “Let’s talk things through and find out why we are now in this situation,” I said persuasively [persuasion] before hardening my voice when nobody appeared to be loosening their grips on their weaponry. “I demand that the council members lower their weapons. There will be no killing of anyone happening in this tower!” I snapped. The AnBU ringing the council members each took a step forward. “And you are?” Koda asked, narrowing his eyes. “My name is Jasmine Black. I have been appointed as your new Amekage.” I pause “council or no council, Emi is still a shinobi of Amegakure until I say otherwise, so I order you all to lower your weapons immediately or you will be forced to do so by my guards.” I warned, shooting each member a look. The fact that Emi was obviously unarmed was another reason why I decided to take a different approach to the situation. Rather than having the council speak first, my attention turned toward Emi. “Now I may not have been Amekage for long, but there are obviously a few things that need sorting out,” I said. As I watch four of the seven council members lower their weapons slightly, I continued to speak: “Emi, as far as I know you had left the village without first consulting with the previous Amekage or any of the guards of the tower. That, as far as I am concerned, is an act of treason and would normally slap a rogue shinobi stamp onto your file.” I pause “however, now that you are here and are unable to leave the tower, I want to know what is going on with you before I decide what to do. But you have my word that no one is to attack you.” [persuasion] Skills/Traits/Jutsu/Sup: SPOILER: Click to show Spirit Sense Hardly a fool Eye of the Falcon Leadership 90sp Persuasion 79sp Observation 109sp Sense Motive 110sp

Celaena Kamyuja ;
Behind the Cat's mark, the AnBU blinked. "Alright. One; I am in charge. Two; drop the attitude, you are chuunin and it is imperative that you act like one. Three; I outrank you so stand down, ordering a Jounin and AnBU Agent is an offense worthy of being sent to prison, so hold your tongue or you will be arrested! There is no need of your services at the moment as we have things under control." Annoyance oozed from the Cat's words as she remained firm, un-moving despite the Kamyuja's attempts to push her way into the tower. "If your services were required, you would have been summoned at a moment's notice." Only then, the AnBU stepped aside, allowing the displeased kunoichi entrance to the tower.

Once inside Celaena would notice a large amount of people heading toward the elevators, the red haired woman in the black cloak following in tow. The red haired was also barking orders and Celaena would hear the words: Of course Lady Amekage being issued before the posse disappeared into the elevator. The Cat AnBU had disappeared into the chaos of the tower, thus leaving Celaena to her devices.

[Celaena Kamyuja]

interesting 

She was getting a headache.

Being asleep for one hundred years, she wasn’t surprised to see that manners had not approved in her absence. If it were not for this hussy attitude she wouldn’t have lost her temper. And she was talking about attitude, who the hell did she think she was?! In the past, she was considered very close to royalty and was treated with respect. She was taught to give respect to only those who deserved it. The way this Anbu treated those around her suggested that she thought herself better than everyone else. It seems this bitch needed to be taken down a peg or two. But not yet. Not with the commotion going on. It wasn’t the right time nor the right place. The Kamyuja didn’t care that this woman was an Anbu cat. She had faced death countless times and survived. And if she threatens shinobi with her status then she doesn’t deserve the mask.

“Well, kitty, if this is the behavior of a jounin then I am glad I have not graduated yet. You talk about attitude when you seriously need a lesson in the subject yourself. As for under control, you obviously need your eyes examined. Things are not under control, otherwise, why are you stationed at the door rather than doing something that will get things under control.”

With a mock smile, she turned her attention elsewhere, dismissing the bitch once and for all. If the bitch had anything more to say, she wasn’t going to hear it. However, by doing so she did hear the title ‘Lady Amekage’ echoing around. Her mocking smile twisted into something much more peculiar. Her eyes darted over the group exiting. That red-haired woman is the Amekage? No, I must have heard wrong. Still, her eyes didn’t leave the group until they were gone from sight.

Interesting…
