We are the named and we are known

[lucetimods]

Who: All Draftees
What: Arriving at the dorms
When: 26th
Where: Dorms, location unknown
Summary: Dorm information is here. This is your room!
Rating: PG... we hope?

Your characters are shuffling off to their rooms. Each room has their name beside it and only they can open the door. People can only enter their room if they're allowed in (or they leave the door open). Characters will find any requested items in their room already. If they have a requested vehicle, there will be another door in their room that will take them to the hangar to inspect their equipment.

((Mod note: Extra draftees won't experience their Shift Incompatibility handicap in their dorms. :|a))

... ... Sexy. Really? In a strategy meeting?

At least she doesn't open her fan when she swings it toward his head. He can duck.

She'd rather he didn't.]

Re: /rofl.

[generalflirt]

[In this instant though, his eyes harden. He ducks and (attempts to) take hold of it. Unwitting, because he doesn't know the weight, but maybe he can pull it down and over-balance her.

All without thinking, really. Because, lol, self-preservation]

[dangerouswind.livejournal.com]

[Interesting.

And reflexes take over. She hadn't been trying to (really) hurt him with that swing, but the second he reacted like that, she snapped into something far less casual. She manages to shift her stance in mid-swing -- probably not the smartest thing but it keeps him from grabbing her fan.

Her two steps away are quick; the fan spins once and she has it snapped open.]

[endgames]

[Interesting indeed. He'll have to consider that later.]

All right, that's enough. [His hands form the seal for Kage Mane, his shadow darting out to capture both Temari's and Kida's to paralyze their movements.

Temari gets a special glare. Because she's used to his complaining, and it gives everyone else a chance to calm down from the situation.] Troublesome woman, if you take out another one of my walls, we're switching rooms.

[HE'LL MAKE IT WORK SOMEHOW.]

[generalflirt]

[Stance shift, position change, he could go for a blow to the head or the gut- no that might be risky, that weapon looks absurd - maybe he he sniped at her legs with a low kick or something- He settles into a low crouch of a position to aim for a charge-

...And then he's paralyzed. He can't move at all and his eyes, resisting this, try to go wide and- well what is this]

[dangerouswind.livejournal.com]

[Damn it, Shikamaru. She hates that technique. It's cheating. But she rolls her eyes in his direction and he'll probably see the not-apology in her gaze. She's giving up; she'll be good.]

I wasn't aiming for the wall.

[He touched my fan.]

[endgames]

Which is why it would've been what actually got busted, knowing my luck.

[Focus back to Kida. He'd have released the technique already, but he's not sure how he'd react.] Need to get anything else out of your system, or can we get back to the matters at hand again?

[generalflirt]

[He tries to focus his eyes on Shikamaru as best he can. Given Temari's reaction... this is one of his powers, and one he uses often enough for her to not be too shocked. He says, blandly]

...So this is one of your abilities, is it?

[endgames]

It is. [And one he wouldn't be using out in the open if it were any normal situation. And this could be a stupid move on his part, but he thinks it'd be worse not to.

He releases the technique, shadow detaching itself from theirs.] Not one I like to use on comrades if it can be helped, though.

1/2

[generalflirt]

[The instant he's freed, he sighs and rolls his shoulders, crouching and then standing, enjoying his newfound freedom in a way he didn't expect to have to do before. ...If Saki recovered, would she feel like this too? The thought comes unbidden, and then he tries hard to shove it back down.]

[generalflirt]

[So he sighs and decides to be flippant again after taking two steps back]

So I guess Temari-chan is what they call a "tsundere..."

[dangerouswind.livejournal.com]

[... Really?

Really? He goes straight back to this... whatever the hell it is? Temari pinches the bridge of her nose, takes one very deep breath, and suddenly snaps her fan shut.

She swears, Shikamaru, if you assign him to work anywhere near her, she cannot be held responsible for her actions.]

[endgames]

[He'll keep that in mind, Temari. As it is, he prefers this flippancy to what they were seeing before.

Also, he doesn't mind laughing at your expense. 8Db] Might be an accurate description.

But if we could get back to the meeting - anyone else have any relevant questions?

[...do any of you even remember what he was talking about before this.]

[seiriald]

[Not at all. :|b]

... How are the groups... divided...? [And moving closer to Masaomi and Frey subconsciously as she says it.]

[endgames]

[/sob]

Aside from Simon and Gold [Who he understands will be piloting the Gurren Lagaan together], there's no set grouping. Switching it up when we can will make it harder for the Third Party to predict what we're doing. For now, just work with who you're comfortable with. We'll change things around as needed, to better compliment one another's skills.

[markofthebrave]

[Katara's eyes immediately go to Chouji when he says that, but then she snaps her attention back to Shikamaru.

It had taken every bit of self-control she possessed not to step in there and just let Shikamaru handle it - and then he'd ended up using that freaky jutsu, and she just hopes everything is okay.

But if there's no set grouping then that means...]

So you'll be keeping us mostly together? We'll just be spread out in clumps as we go?

[endgames]

That's right. Even if we're fighting in different areas, we still need to be close enough to help one another if something goes wrong.
