Cabbage vs Souji

[Cabbage]

*Agnes Oblige sits gently down in a relatively remote bar, far off the trail, although a small dirt trail leads to it from the main paths of the Nirvana Plains. Surrounded by a miscellaneous assortment of trees and shrubs, the bar finds few customers but is still a comfortable place for relaxation regardless of its isolation... or perhaps thanks to it. She drinks delicately from her pomegranate drink, sighing as she glances towards her companion... completely passed out from drinking and being overly defensive of her. Guv lies on the table with his face smooshed on his half eaten grilled salmon sandwich, the cup of generic rum he earlier drank splashed all of the table, causing the caretaker to mumble as she wipes it off. His beloved mouse, Yangus, scurries to and fro with a piece of cheddar cheese gleefully inside of its mouth.*

"Is that thing ever going to stop?"

*Agnes looks up to see the caretaker pointing towards Yangus, her right eye being covered by her white, yet youthful, hair.*

"Pro... probably not."

*The caretaker only sighs as she goes back into the kitchen. Agnes yawns before taking a cat nap...*

(Eh, normal rules, but otherwise the battle circumstances will continually change depending on how we both RP. I hate how everything feels to stagnant sometimes really.)

 

[Souji]

While on the Nirvana Plains, Souji Seta ("The Reverse Fool" in my sig) wondered where he could go next. He had surveyed most of the plains over the past couple of weeks for recon and intel purposes, and it was frankly rather boring after passing the same tree he had taken note of for the thirty-seventh time. During this period, he had experienced several existential crises, questioned his own already fragile sanity, and drank enough tea to satisfy even the most corpulent of Daimyos.

There was little novelty left. This was a routine mission, and the voices in his head had exhausted all talking points. It was time for some human interaction, dammit!

Not to mention a dry spell from... well... yeah.

His yellow-tinted eyes darted to his left. A new detail. A dirt path.

Well, shit. It was small enough to go unnoticed, but large enough for a person to walk through. Guess he had missed it in his nightly, tea caffeine-induced runs.

On impulse, he walked down the path. Eventually, he found a small bar.

"Oh! I need food." he said to himself, as if having remembered that his sustenance consisted of crappy rations. A nice bowl of noodles... some rice and meat... hot tea... actually, scrap the tea. Maybe sake. Yeah, sake.

Mouth watering, he opened up the door to the bar and took a deep breath.

"GOOD AFTERNOON! IS THIS PLACE OPEN FOR BUSINESS? I HAVE MONEY! I think." he cried out, rather obnoxiously.

 

[Cabbage]

"GOOD AFTERNOON! IS THIS PLACE OPEN FOR BUSINESS? I HAVE MONEY! I think." he cried out, rather obnoxiously.

*Guv immediately rises his head up, showing a clear shocked expression before falling onto his back, the stool crashing into the plate of food and thus sending said food splattering all over the room. The proprietress smiles gleefully, choosing to ignore Guv's mess for the moment being, and sways her hand towards the empty seat next to Agnes, who's still taking the cat nap.*

"Haha, welcome welcome to my old shack. What'll it be today? Mind, the supplies are limited somewhat, so I may not be able to offer you everything requested. But I shall do everything in my power to try, and those are words I live by."

*She curtsies with a bit too much heft before smiling again, her hands place on her hip. Yangus, only now noticing the newcomer, looks up with an eager expression, chirping cautiously.*

 

[Souji]

Taking a set next to the dozing Agnes, Souji leans back and props his outstretched legs against the edge of the table. He looks over to Guv, chuckling a little at his misfortune. Turning to the proprietress, he says:

"I'll have what he's having, miss!" winking once. Ever the 'charmer'.

 

[Cabbage]

*The proprietress chuckles to this, a good attempt by the boy, although she mumbles as she turns. One of pet peeves, to Souji's misfortune, as people who set their legs on tables. How much time and care did she take into polishing the bloody things, only for the first smuck to waltz in and lays their legs upon it as if they owned the place. Yet that wink... the boy's so close to actually being charming to her... a shame. Still, he's far better than Guv, or as she calls him, mcsnooze. Thus she gives Souji a subtle smile as she turns back to him momentarily. She's curious as to how far his charm could go.*

"I'll make you a fresh trout fish sandwich with an assortment of greens on the side, it'll be done within twenty or so minutes."

*She then re-enters the kitchen, ending her momentary glance towards Souji. Agnes yawns as she awakes from her catnap, only now noticing the new boy within the bar, inconveniently taking up the entire table with legs except for her isolated corner. A small blush begins to form as she begins a slight mumble, not paying proper eye contact to Souji.*

"Um... erm... Guv, may I ask who this is... Guv?"

*Agnes gives a quick glance behind her, only to see Guv clearly dazed, his head swaying side to side as his eyes comically roll. Clearly in his own world again. Yangus cheerfully chirps as it dashes towards Agnes, to which she replies with a gently pet towards its mane-like back hair. She gives the stranger a now more focused attention, the blush from before beginning to subside. Clearly she has to give the introductions... again.*

"You... you have to forgive Guv, he's quite strange at times. Anyways, my apologies for the rudeness earlier, but I didn't anticipate anyone else showing up here."

*Agnes pats down her right shoulder as she says this, acting as an invite for Yangus to climb up it. It then begins to nimble its chunk of cheese gleefully as it looks with renewed curiosity at Souji.*

"Um... the name's Agnes... may I ask yours, if it wouldn't be too rude?"

*Agnes then gives off a small smile towards the stranger. Unlike the more subtle smile of the proprietress, Agnes has no hidden intention; nothing but pure exuberant happiness, perhaps overly showing and innocent.*

 

[Souji]

The proprietress was playing hard to get, eh? Souji smirked as she left to the kitchen. With Guv hopeless, Agnes' sudden awakening almost caused Souji to tilt his chair to the edge of certain death (towards the floor), but he smoothly compensated by rocking forward.

This girl... she exuded an aura that Souji hadn't felt in a long time. Pure. Innocent. In a way, he was instantaneously reminded of a girl he once had an eye for. But that was far too long ago. Whatever he felt, whether it was jealously towards her purity, or curiosity to how someone like her ended up here, he nevertheless returned pleasantries with a smile that looked so sincere that even a wise man might do a double-take. He was something akin to a deep lake.

"Souji Seta, miss. What's a lovely lady such as yourself doing out here in the middle of nowhere?"

 

[Cabbage]

Souji Seta...

*Agnes tilts her head unconsciously towards the right, nuzzling her ear upon Yangus' mane. She giggles unintentionally before smiling again towards Souji.*

"Guv and I are merely taking a break at the moment from our journey towards the Maron Woods. There's a festival occurring over there soon, called the Festival of Saint Artemis. I don't much of it, but Guv says that around this time of the year a plethora of chestnuts begin to fall from the trees..."

*Guv begins to rise from the ground, holding his head with his left hand as he does so.*

"Countless children can be said to dance happily around the trees, and much vociferous and beautiful music can be heard throughout the woods... unfortunately though..."

*Guv immediately grabs a kunai from his right pouch with his right hand, conveniently hidden within his vest, but low enough for convenience. He holds the kunai with a reverse grip, with the blade of the kunai pointed away from his thumb, with the blade pointing outwards away from his body. He hastily gathers chakra into the kunai, causing it to unintentional buzz with lightning chakra as he swiftly attempts to stab Souji in his left back portion of his neck with a direct, straight stab. If it doesn't outright kill Souji, then at the very least it will stun him momentarily so then a more potent attack can finish him off...*

"You're a Nekura, so you don't know much about happiness... now do you?"

Rank: A
Type: Offense/Defence
Range: Short (Mid if channeled through a medium)
Chakra Cost: 30
Damage Points: N/A (+10 if used to boost weapon damage)
Description: This jutsu allows the user to generate non-focused electricity from their body. It can be used as an omnidirectional attack or be channeled through weapons, the ground or other conductive mediums. Because the electricity isn't focused, it doesn't kill on contact, instead it has great numbing and paralyzing effects. To channel Nagashi through a medium, the user needs to focus the technique into one of his hands which will then be put in contact with the medium and can only choose to either do a widespread attack throughout his whole body or to channel it into something; he cannot achieve both usages at the same time. Despite not having much destructive or damaging properties, Nagashi can be used to destroy low rank earthen and wooden structures and even negate chakra on the ground to stop high ranked earth and wood techniques. It has also been noted that Lightning Specialists that have mastered Lightning to the highest degree can resist total paralyzation, although they still feel the pain and numbing effects.
Note: Paralyzation lasts 1 turn if sucessful but is ineffective against bios who have a primary Lightning Specialty

OOC: Hopefully this is okay with you. The situation is currently this: Guv is to the back left of you with an electrified Kunai while Agnes is sitting down to the left of you. The proprietress is still working on your meal, and it'll be done in nineteen minutes. Mind, she's able to hear down the hall, but is only aware of the conversation up to the point when Guv risen up, with his footsteps clouded the rest of the conversation. Let's begin the battle now, as sadly in this Ninja World there can be no peace or true innocence...
