Oto Border

[Nicholas]

Nicholas paused to look up, then nodded once more before returning his attention to the model in front of him, pulling out a kunai as if by sleight of hand before using it to start placing marks on the model.

[Chihiro Sasaki]

Chihiro stared sadly at Illidan. He was so sour. She wished he was in a better mood, but that was asking for the impossible with him. He spoke. "The bitch is right behind me." That was when Mokoto walked in and replied. "Fuck you!" Illidan replied. "Fuck YOU!" They were going back and forth until Chihiro told them to stop. Then they both looked at her and said, simultaneously, "Fuck you!" Kai walked in quietly with Koga. Koga went up to them and hit their heads together with his brows slightly furrowed. Kai simply sat down with his blank smile. Chihiro sighed. It had been so long since everyone was together, she almost forgot how hopeless they were. She hoped the five people who were actually NICE would show up soon.

[Nicholas]

Despite the yelling, Nicholas simply gritted his teeth and kept working with the Oto model until he heard the two heads crack together, followed by abrupt silence.
"Whoever did that, thank you." Nicholas said before going back to working on the model.

[Koga]

Koga walked over to where the model is. He sat and said "Don't mention it." He sighed and stared at the model, silently taking in all of what Nicholas was doing.

[Nicholas]

Finishing with one last mark, a small "X" carved into the side of a building, Nicholas returned the kunai into his cloak and sat back.
"All that's left now is for the others to get here. I've already told Chihiro, but there are rooms in the back of the cave if any of you need to rest - they're barebones in terms of amenities, but they're lit and offer some privacy if you need to rest."

[Koga]

Koga raised his hand halfway. "Ill be fine, but those two might wanna go lie down." He signaled to Mokoto and Illidan who were still holding their heads'. "Explain this to me, so I know where to go in. Kekeya already told me, but a map helps." Koga was leaning over teh model. That was when Kiyo walked in. "Hey all! Where's the party?"

[Nicholas]

Nicholas briefly raised his hand in response to Kiyo before returning his attention to Koga.
"Quite simply put, I've spent the last 3 weeks rigging the entire village with the help of a member of the recon team to give your group a few more options. The list is a bit long, though, so if it isn't a problem I'd rather wait until everyone else arrives."

[Koga]

Koga sat straight again. "If you wouldn't mind, I could make several suggestions on how certain ones of us should enter, being how we have certain abilities that would make penetration at certain areas easier. Take Illidan, for example. He has sovereignty over water and liquid. Of course that's probably because his brains are fluid themselves." Illidan was about to say something back. "Fu-" Mokoto shut his mouth with her hand in fear Koga would hit them again. Koga turned so one eye would stare back at Illidan. "As I was saying, it would be most practical if he were to infiltrate at the lake-set end of the village. This, however, is just an example."

[Nicholas]

"Already taken care of to a certain extent. Even with Sachi's kekkei genkai it would have been foolish to just walk right in through the front gate, barrier or not, so we improvised - as of right now, we can enter the village from 43 different points undetected using the tunnel system I made over the course of the first week. It's still up to you whether or not you want to use it, but so far no one in Oto has found any of them."

[Koga]

Koga closed his eyes. "That would come in handy for those who don't have any other way to enter, like Mokoto and myself. We have devised a plan of our own, but with compromise between our two, our success can be ensured." Mosenn peeked his head in the door and walked in sheepishly with Miyo behind him, walking in casually. Miyo stopped in the middle of the room and stared at the ceiling. Then she got on one foot and spun on her toe. "Woohoo!!! This place is HUUUUGE!!!" She giggled as she walked over and said a loud hello to Sachi. Mosenn walked in and waved to everyone very nervously.

[Sachi Akita]

Sachi had just followed Akemi into the main room of the cave where everyone was gathered right before the girl said hello to her.

Sachi put the tea that she was carrying down, and smiled brightly at the girl. "Hey! I'm Sachi. Would you like some tea?" Sachi asked.

[Akemi Yamagata]

Akemi looked around the "room" at the new arrivals. She had heard the two that were yelling at each other not that long ago before she and Sachi entered the room. She smiled politely at them all, then set the tea down that she was carrying.

"Actually, there's enough for everyone if you want some. I added a special blend to it that will help you rejuvenate your strength and energy after your travel alot quicker than normal." Akemi informed.

She poured some for herself and took a sip to show that it was fine to drink, and that the taste was quite pleasant. Actually the flower added a bit of sweetness to the tea. She looked around for a few seconds and frowned slightly.

"Are Kekeya and Nori close to arriving?" She asked.

[Miyoko Sasaki]

Miyoko threw her hands up. "I love tea! Is it tasty?" Before Sachi could answer, Miyo took the cup and drank the whole thing. Koga took Akemi up on her offer. "I'll take some, thanks. Those two should be arriving shortly. They took the ground route. I'd give it a good seven minutes."

[Nicholas]

Nicholas nodded once but remained sitting at the stone model, folding his arms under his cloak and closing his eyes once more as he settled in to wait.

[Akemi Yamagata]

Akemi nodded as well, and poured more tea for the others that were in the room incase they wished for some. She sat against the wall, not far from Nicholas. She hoped that he could get a bit of rest while they waited for the rest to arrive.

She silently studied Koga, she could sense the power that he held. She wondered what Kekeya had to go through in order to get this group to agree to come here today as well as what their plans were for after this mission.
