Omega (p)

[Wolf of the Falls]

The black wolf laid back on a large boulder taking a drag off a cigarette creating a bright orange glow while his red eyes and hair contrast to his pale skin and black clothes. All of his possessions were on him during his travels in case he needed them. However the longer he searches the less he had hipe.

Shihana walked past a large, rock outcropping and looked with curiosity. She had just finished a short conversation with Set at the Stone Tower, but now found herself investigating the country-side. She had been told, by certain gossip, that there were rare jutsu and items that had recently been found in the Earth nation. She came dressed in her black dress, which fell slightly past her knees, but did not wear the white, kazekage cloak that she often had. This way she intended to be more ambiguous about her status. Her long, white hair fell down to her hips and the black strand stood out on the left side. Her lilac eyes burning in the brown, rocky landscape.

She'd brought the spear, Bitter Mercy, with her and had it strapped to her back. Other than that she didn't have any items -- trusting in her own power to stop any unexpected challengers.

Up ahead she saw a man sitting on one of the rocks, taking a drag from his cigarette. Shihana had never seen him before but decided that perhaps he could be of some service, if he could give her direction on how to find her treasures. Standing up tall and proud, Shihana approached the man and waved her right hand.

"Hey there! Mind if I take a hit off that?"

Shihana normally wasn't one to smoke, but perhaps this was an exception.

[Wolf of the Falls]

The red head calmly looked over at the white haired woman offering her the cigarette using an invisible chakra string without a thought. His eyes glowing low in the dark like red phosphorus while his hair had a much less pronounced light. Reaching into his jacket he pulled another placing it on his lips before a flame created a cherry on the end of it.

"To what do I owe the pleasure?" He inquired softly glancing at her rather unassuming in this light while the scent of herbs reached Shihana's nose, the cigarettes more for scent than for nicotine. "Take it slow, its not tobacco so it may be a bit harsh."

[Flower]

As the cigarette floated toward her, as if pulled by an invisible string, Shihana reached out and took it -- putting into her mouth and taking an immediate drag. She felt at ease as she inhaled the smoke, a bit surprised that it wasn't tobacco and rather a blend of other herbs. She let the smoke float out of her mouth in small, controlled tendrils.

"I've been searching the Land of Earth," Shihana explained, "because I'd heard that there were rare items and jutsu that could be found in this nation. So far I haven't had any luck, however." She took another puff on the cigarette and leaned against the boulder, beside her new companion (albeit he was sitting above her).

"Have you heard anything about it?"

"Not particularly, but I'm not from here, I have a toy from one of the old Tsuchikage though." Axel responded calmly as he reached into his jacket rummaging for a moment before taking out a metallic bronze and green scroll and held it out for her.

"Feel free to have a look, be careful though its loud." The inuzuka said softly, if she took it and started to unroll it she would find it was a summoning scroll but ultimately indecipherable without and knowledge of puppets. If she decided to activate it a massive cloud of smoke would follow a burst that obscurred her vision while she heard loud creaking metal whirl slowly as the puppet sat in position.



"It's called Alexander." Axel spoke looking over at the living castle as her opened a hand and connected his strings to the castle.

Shihana took the scroll and unraveled it, finding the mechanics to activate a seal and did so -- unleashing a behemoth of a puppet that towered over the area. "Toy of the old Tsuchikage's, huh? Guess I shouldn't be surprised." Shihana looked thoughtfully over the living castle and ran her hand along the metal of one of the forearms, assessing the material and remembering its fine detail.

"It is a nice trinket. Although not a puppeteer myself, I can appreciate good craftsmanship." She thought of the spear Bitter Mercy on her back, whose red and purple metal tip shone faintly (shimmering with speckled gems) in the sunlight. "If you acquired something as valuable as this, then you must be at least somewhat powerful. Perhaps you could help me."

Suddenly Shihana's feet began to lift off the ground as she seemed to float (fly?) slightly off the ground and around the arm of the puppet. She seemed almost like a fairy next to the machine's stature.

"Give me gifts and I will do you a favor."

Persuasion 125

Wings of the Planes

[Wolf of the Falls]

Noticing the girl begin to fly around the castle he started to control it making it shift and sway with her movements like they were performing to some unhearable song. The comment made him raise his eyebrow curiously as he smiled small at the proposition sitting up and taking off his jacket revealing his toned physique and black stitching running down his spine and the back of his arms if she moved to a point where they were visible.

"What favor pray tell and how would it be worth what I have?"

The crimson haired man inquired as he began to grab things from within. First, two scrolls with dark cobalt tone and silver banding similar to Alexander's scroll, a white with silver band scroll, a red with gold bands scroll, a blue with metallic blue bands scroll, 6 black with metallic green bands scrolls, a thick pouch with 10 Tremor Stones within, and an assortment of other tools including his money. He then pulled a wrapped up ragged cloak from beside him laying it out and showing a large broad blade with crimson coloring and vines etched across the flat with an odd handle, a seemingly old katana, a tachi with no hilt and a string of crimson beads hanging from the pommel, a stark white katana with a long white ribbon wrapped around the sheath and attached to the pommel, and lastly a set of 6 identical violet spears with wicked tips.

[Flower]

Shihana watched as he took his jacket off, feeling a little guilty as she admired his physique, but quickly pushed it out of her mind as she looked at all the items he had. There was quite the nice collection, this much was obvious without getting into details. It was true then, Shihana thought, there was treasure in the Land of Earth.

"I can't give you money or any sort of investments," Shihana explained, "but I have a certain set of skills that only a select few are able to appreciate." She swirled toward the top of the living castle, as it danced with her movements, and she poked toward its peak -- where its head and brain might have been if it had one.

"Memories. After we are dead or gone, they are all that will remain -- or, at least, they will since I have discovered how to make them eternal. I can make one for you and give to another person? They could carry it and keep you with them at all times. Or leave it in a secret place to be found by future generations. Whatever you choose, there are several possibilities. Or, alternatively, I could show you any of the memories I have obtained in full sensory detail -- if they would delight you." Shihana seemed to be mentally shuffling through some of them. "I have quite a few.

"I have no specific price. Whatever you decide to give would be just a donation."

[Wolf of the Falls]

"Wow... did you draw the short straw." Axel laughed softly and sighing quietly afterward as his left arm began to unstitch and long tendrils of wire snaked out filling the air roughly a foot from his arm. "I am immortal, I don't have blood or need anything to survive."

"Go ahead and take it as a consolation prize, maybe you can find some people you think will benefit form it down the line." Axel sighed as he made the wire return into his body before closing u up and leaning back on one of his arms letting his cigarette burn like an incense rather than actually taking drags off it. "Actually now that you mention it, I do have one memory that I'd like made solid."

/16,846,434 ryo for record's sake

[Flower]

Shihana took the ryo that he gave to her with his elongated arm, and gave one, last brief look at the pile of rare items before seeing what the man would do with them. Shihana took the money, as she was told, and put it in her dress before flitting back to the ground. She pushed a strand of white hair out of her face as she re-adjusted. "Like I said, it's only for a select few.

"But, yeah sure, what memory? And what do you want me to do with it once I've made it? It will take just a short time to craft."

She knew that she'd need to view the memory and go back to the Land of Wind to craft the item. But the donation had been more than enough, so she didn't mind whatever it happened to be. Although he seemed a little proud, Shihana continued to think of it as business.

[Wolf of the Falls]

"The first kiss I shared with my lover... She's probably gone now, and if anything about me continues on, I'd like it to be that." Axel spoke softly as his wire laid out the green and bronze scroll before sealing Alexander within once again. "Have it sent to the Takikage, I'll pick it up once I head back."

[Flower]

"I see," Shihana said and walked toward the man. "Show me."

She outstretched her hand and prepared herself to look into his psyche and relive the memory, taking in every detail, if he would allow her to do so, as her hand would touch his forehead (OOC: you can send me a link to the kiss if you want). Then she'd back away, take a deep breath, and return to her body as her eyes opened back up.

"I will have it sent to Takigakure as soon as it's ready," Shihana said.

[Wolf of the Falls]

Axel watched her curiously as she came closer a little untrusting but sighing gently and taking her hand and falling to one knee so she could reach his forehead easier. As he felt her dive into him she would find the journey very different, rather than entering his 'mind' her concious would be drawn into a spiral of chakra leading to a warm red heart where she relived that memory of Axel and Rosalie kissing in the fountain in the middle of the night. Before she could watch further more intimate moments he gently blocked her presence as his sign that the memory was complete.

"Thank you."

[Flower]

"No need to thank me," Shihana said as she removed her hand, having lived and experienced the memory herself, "It was business. But you're welcome all the same." Having obtained all that she needed, Shihana made sure that the ryo was still there and grabbed her new items that the man had laid out for her -- putting them all in order in her inventory.

"I'll have it sent to Takigakure as soon as I can. Hopefully it will be of some use to you. Or those who follow after." Her statement was ambiguous, since she knew that he was immortal, but she didn't stay to sort out the details.

"Perhaps I'll see you again. Either way, it was a nice meeting. If you're ever in the Sand Village, be kind enough to look me up. Maybe we can make another deal?" Shihana gave a smile, the first one since she'd met the Wolf, and turned back through the rocky landscape toward destinations unknown.

As the exchange ended the black wolf finished his cigarette availing the air of its dirty scent before heading out and returning to his search.
