[Neutral RP Thread] The Dawn Tavern

[Mathias]

You've been passed out for sixteen hours Yoshiro...

Yoshiro saw Habaki's facial expression change and heard the change in his voice. He had been asleep for way too long! What to do?! An apology is in place, isn't it?

I am sorry brother! It won't happen again! I promise! Please forgive me! What can I do? :T_T:

As he said this Habaki had begun pulling harder and Yoshiro followed his example.

Habaki simply couldn't be mad towards such a pure spirited soul. He simply sighed in return as he cracked a small smile. As both him and Yoshiro began to pull on the rope they swiftly made their way to shore, unexpectedly crashing directly on the shoreline. The sudden stop would force Yoshiro to come crashing onto Habaki's back in a very goofy manner. Habaki simply rolled his eyes as he readjusted his body and jumped off of the small boat and onto solid grounds.

Let's get going shall we?

Yoshiro was relieved as Habaki smiled in return to his apology. After a short while they reached the shoreline and Yoshiro didn't anticipate this. He couldn't control his movements and crashed onto Habaki's back. He had done it again! Why was he so clumsy?! He apologied again and climbed out of the boat. It felt good to have a stable surface underneath his feet.

Yes! Let's go! Yoshiro said excited.

Habaki simply placed his left palm on top of Yoshiro's head as he then began to shuffle his hair around, something he would usually do when he was happy.

Yosh!

Habaki proceeded to walk into the dense forest that laid in front of them, getting denser as they continued to walk deeper into it. Habaki looked throughout the area and noticed a vast number of mushrooms growing throughout the area, something that he did not usually see in such large quantities. He merely shrugged it off as he smoked from his kiseru and exhaled the smoke outwards.

Countless shrooms they had walked by. Yoshiro had been trying to count them, but lost interest after the fifth shroom. Maybe he should focus more he thought. It would surely help him in battle and he probably wouldn't be as clumsy. Suddenly he had the urge to cough as he inhaled something. He realized it was the smoke from Habaki's kiseru. That was it! Maybe that was the reason for Habaki's calm and collected personality!

*cough* Oi, Habaki.. Ehm.. You know smoking is bad for you, but you seem to do it nonetheless.. Does it help you to concentrate better? Or is it just an ehrm.. addiction?

It shouldn't make you cough. These are medical herbs that clean and purify your system.

Habaki's stomach began to make weird noises indicating he was starving. In reaction towards it, he simply placed his left palm over his abdominal section as he rubbed it softly.

Uhh... when was the last time we ate?...

Habaki continued to walk through the forest along side Yoshiro as attempted to think of the last time in which they had ate.

Habaki continued to walk through the forest along side Yoshiro as attempted to think of the last time in which they had ate.

Medical herbs eh.. Clean and purify? Hm... Could I try it!?

Hearing Habaki's stomach, it suddenly struck Yoshiro. He hadn't eaten a single thing yet! His stomach was empty and his throat was dry. In an attempt to find anything edible Yoshiro scanned the environment and realized the most obvious thing. They were surrounded by food! The very shrooms he had been trying to count were present in countless amounts yet they hadn't thought of eating a single one of them! With big eyes and a grumbling stomach Yoshiro walked towards the closest batch of shrooms. They were beatiful; red with white dots. He picked the two biggest ones and ran towards Habaki.
Once he had caught up to him he showed the shrooms.

Look Habaki! Food! Let's eat them! I'm soooo hungry! Wait.. We can't eat them... Look at how nice they look! How can we eat such an amazing shroom?

Habaki could not believe how naive Yoshiro could possibly be as he rushed over towards him and showed him the mushrooms. Habaki raised his left eye brow in reaction towards Yoshiro's question.

Sure, knock yourself out...

Alright! I'll tell you if they taste good!

Yoshiro proceeded by taking a decent bite of the first shroom, followed by a second and a third and a fourth untill only the stem remained. Ahh. That helped! His stomach felt better now. He was so happy! In fact... He was so happy he wanted to share it with everyone! He wanted to whistle, to sing, to celebrate!

Ahhh. You missed something Habaki! It was delicious! Oh by the way, have you heard... And do you know this song...? Ahh yes, I meant to ask you the following!

Yoshiro went on and on. His hapiness knew no end. And was it him or had the whole forest suddenly become greener than it already was? And the sky even more blue? And... Did Habaki's hair become even more red? Suddenly his stomach grumbled again. But it was different this time... It was an uneasy kind of feeling. He stopped walking and put his hand on Habaki's shoulder as he bent over. Everything around him started to spin and he had the feeling he had to throw up.

Hhh.. Habaki, I *gags* don't feel that well. Everything is spinning, the whole world. Heck.. even you are!

Wait, Yoshiro DON'T!

But it was too late, Yoshiro had began to eat the strange looking mushroom. A single droplet of sweat began to drip down Habaki's head as began to feel uneasy and worried. Suddenly, Yoshiro began to act a little bit more excited and happy-go-lucky. Although something very Yoshiro-like. this seemed odd.

Yoshiro? Yoshiro, are you okay?

Habaki grabbed a hold of Yoshiro's shoulders with either hand as he then began to grab a firm hold of him in order to look at him closely. Yoshiro's eyes were scrambling all over the place.

Yoshiro, can you hear me?!

Yoshiro had to gag again as Habaki got a hold of him.

N.. No.. I feel sick.. Water please...

Yoshiro's eyes closed and he passed out.

Yoshiro's eyes closed and he passed out.

Get a hold of yourself! Yoshiro... Yoshiro!!

Habaki yelled as Yoshiro passed out right on his arms. Habaki had no idea how bad the case would be after eating that mushroom, thus decided to not waste any time. He quickly placed Yoshiro over his right shoulder and wrapped his right arm over his back in order to hold him in place. Habaki then proceeded to channel chakra into his feet in order to burst forward at great speeds, aiming to find a near by village or town to get his close friend treated. The sun was quickly coming down and as Habaki continued to travel forward the forest got denser and denser, making it quite difficult to travel in a swift manner. He quickly changed strategy and jumped onto the branch of a near by tree, now beginning to jump from branch to branch, allowing easier passage through the dense forest. Habaki was both too worried and focused on Yoshiro's well-being to realize where he was going, thus continued to run forward in a straight line from the shore. An hour had passed since Yoshiro had consumed the mushroom and no civilization to be found.

"Is this Island uninhabited?!"

Habaki asked himself. He stopped for a mere moment as he took a look at Yoshiro's face, it was quickly loosing color. Habaki had no time to waste, he continued to run forward as fast as his body could carry him. As Habaki continued to run, he was now able to hear the sound of rushing waves once more.

"Water?.."

Without his knowledge he had successfully crossed the entire, if not a large portion of the island to the other end. He quickly bit his lip in frustration as he just realized he crossed the island without having found anything. Without many options, he simply continued to run as the dense forest began to slowly clear away, opening up as Habaki ran forward. To his surprise, Habaki was suddenly overtaken by joy as he began to see small wooden cabins scattered throughout the forests. "People?!" he asked himself. He continued to run forward in order to reach the central point of the "village" he had entered. Upon reaching the center of the village Habaki began to look for a hospital of sorts. Although nothing to be found. The first thing he wanted to look for was water, thus he rushed over to the harbor, knowing fully well that water must be stored somewhere around there. He quickly searched around as he found a small boat carrying supplies.

Excuse me sir! May I have some water please! My friend is gravely ill and he needs something to drink!

The random villager saw the kindness in Habaki's eyes and decided to give him a small leather pouch filled with water. Habaki quickly placed Yoshiro onto the ground as he slowly placed the tip of the water pouch onto Yoshiro's lips. He then forcefully opened the side of his mouth in order to allow the water to seep inside, attempting to make him swallow some of it. A lot of water quickly began to spill over as Yoshiro was still unconscious. Although instinctively, the body itself began to drink slightly by using Yoshiro's own muscle memory. As Yoshiro began to drink some of the water Habaki asked the villager if there were any hospitals around. Much to his surprise, there were none. However he was given information regarding a very old lady in the town that had medical expertise. Habaki quickly memorized the information he had just been given and placed Yoshiro over his shoulder once more, quickly rushing over towards the old lady's house.

Arigato Gozimazou!

Within a few minutes of running and searching throughout the small town, Habaki finally found a small cabin that matched the description he had just been given by the sailer. Habaki proceeded to knock the cabin's door with his left hand in a very forceful manner, simply showing his urgency.

PLEASE, OPEN UP!

PLEASE, OPEN UP!

Yoshiro slowly opened his eyes. Much to his surprise, he saw a wooden roof above him. And the surface underneath him was soft, as if he were lying on a bed. He wanted to move his head in order to find any sign as the where he was, but he couldn't. For some reason his body wouldn't work wih him. Where was he?! Where was Habaki??
The last thing he could remember was him eating a delicious shroom. Where was the other shroom by the way? He still was quite hungry and had already taken a liking to the shroom's taste.

Suddenly Yoshiro could hear someone walking towards him. The footsteps stopped right next to the bed and the person bent over to take a look at him. Yoshiro could see an old face. A woman's face. She had long white hair, but her eyes were magnificent. They were as blue as the sea. Clearer than the sky. They were brighter than the sun! Though her eyes made her look young, Yoshiro could see the woman had lived many years. Her skin was wrinkled and brown.
And then, who knows why, she started singing. No.. It was more like chanting. She had a serious look on her face and used a language he had never heard before. Though he felt like he could understand the words. They made him feel strong, confident.. alive. He tried to repeat the words, but the only thing he could do was mumble. As he did, the woman stopped and smiled. She looked at the bedside table and grabbed the bottles and tubes that stood on it. Then she left the room.

Hours passed by and Yoshiro was starting to regain strength. He could move his body now and had managed to sit up with his back against the wall. He had scanned the room properly now and realized he was in some sort of hut. He could hear people talking downstairs, though he still had no clue where Habaki was. Anxious he called out his name and the old woman.

Habaki?! Are you here? Where am I? Lady, are you there?

Having stood besides him the entire time, Habaki noticed Yoshiro quickly begin to sweat as he began to mumble words that were quite unclear. In reaction towards him, Habaki placed his right palm on his right shoulder and began to shake him slightly, attempting to wake him up. To accompany his shaking motion Habaki released a cloud of smoke that bathed Yoshiro completely.

Wakey wakey sleepy head!

Unknown to him, everything he had just experienced was nothing more than a mystical experience out of this world..

Yoshiro abruptly woke up as he now really opened his eyes. He felt a hand on his shoulder and saw Habaki standing next to him. He had to cough again as he realized Habaki had exhaled a large amount of smoke in his face.

*cough* You really should think about quitting! Where are we Habaki? What happened? Where are the mushrooms? I'm still hungry!

Yoshiro got quiet as he started feeling dizzy. What had happened? They weren't in the forest anymore and he felt weak.. So weak.

With his other hand behind his back, Habaki got overly happy upon seeing Yoshiro waking up. He was soon asked about the rest of the mushrooms. Habaki smiled from cheek to cheek as he stretched his other arm with an opened palm and showed Yoshiro the remanding mushrooms.

Here you go... ^_^

Yoshiro's eyes grew big as he saw the mushrooms in Habaki's hand. He was so hungry he could've eaten anything! Quickly he extended his hand in order to grab a mushroom.

Thanks Habaki!

 

[Mathias]

Yoshiro's eyes grew big as he saw the mushrooms in Habaki's hand. He was so hungry he could've eaten anything! Quickly he extended his hand in order to grab a mushroom.

Thanks Habaki!

Habaki quickly swiped his hand away from Yoshiro as he reached out for the mushrooms. He then proceeded to smack him upside the head with is right hand in reaction towards it.

BAKA! Didn't you learn the first time!!!

Habaki's playful sense of humor suddenly got very serious as he looked directly at Yoshiro.

You fell unconscious due to the side effects of the mushroom. If I hadn't gotten you here in time, you could have possibly died or lost some internal organs. That mushroom you digested had corrosive properties. Thankfully, it seems it only scratched the surface of your digestive track. Yoshiro... you have to be more cautious with your actions..

Habaki is suddenly struck himself, upside the head with cane. It was the lady that had healed Yoshiro.

Don't be so hard on him!

The Old Lady yelled at Habaki. Much to Yoshiro's surprise, the lady was not what he appeared to have dreamed. The old lady was in fact very short, resembling a dwarf in size, with little hair left on her scalp. The bald spots were filled with moles as well as the side of her face. She had grayish white hair that curled up into various directions. Unfortunately one of her eyes was blind, thus appearing completely white, as her "good" eye was nearly gray in color, indicating that the light within that eye was nearing it's end as well. The lady was very wise and specialized in the usage of mushrooms as well as treatment. Having such a vast amount of vegetation around the island it was only natural for her to know so much about them.

And you young man... be thankful that your friend got you here in time!

The old lady proceeded to smack Yoshiro upside the head as well with her staff.

The old lady proceeded to smack Yoshiro upside the head as well with her staff.

As Yoshiro reached out to take the mushroom, Habaki hit his head in response followed by giving him a scolding. Whilst Habaki was talking to Yoshiro, an old lady entered the room. But she didn't look like the lady Yoshiro had seen in his dream. Heck, she didn't even look like a lady anymore at all. As he was studying her appearance, the lady hit him as well and Yoshiro's head started spinning again. Why was everyone hitting him?? Didn't they understand that he was not feeling well? However, Yoshiro realized that he had made a grave mistake. He had been way too simple-minded regarding the mushrooms. What had gotten into him to just eat a random thing? Ofcourse that was a very risky move!

I.. I'm sorry Habaki. I don't know what happened... I was just so hungry I couldn't think normally. I promise it won't happen again! I promise that I won't be naive or clumsy untill we achieve our goal! Please forgive me!
And you, old lady, thank you for saving my life. I hope that one day I'll be able to repay this debt.

Yoshiro understood now that whether or not they succeeded depended on him staying collected. He vowed to himself that he would do whatever it would take to not bring any trouble towards Habaki and himself anymore. He looked at Habaki with a serious face and once again noted the kiseru. He raised his right eyebrow and asked Habaki a question.

Erhmm >.> You still don't want to let me try your kiseru?

 

[Gutsy]

Hashirama was deep in his thoughts, thinking whether he made the right choice or not. He drank a sip from the finest mead, and it seemed to refresh him up. Suddenly, he heard a loud sound on the counter. He turned around to see a semi-drunk man standing a little distance from him. A brown cloak covered his medium build. Quite tall for a shinobi. He then walked towards Hashirama, and glared at him, Hashirama looking back confused, as usual, as he was observing his actions. He welcomed him to the Tavern and still struggled to maintain himself, falling towards the chair with a sudden thud. His actions made him seem that he was drunk, but his face said something else.

"Who're you?", remarked Hashirama, still confused wondering who the man was.

"I'm..... who am I..... I am the great and powerful yet wicked and weird... well guy with this bottle!!! hehe...." Hannibal responded almost immediately, eager, in fact almost excited to babble out tons of meaningless words, while throwing his hand around with the bottle in it, letting precious liquid drop from it before bringing it to his head and pouring some down his throat. Delicious it was. "Actually.... I have been searching for a few people the last few days... two of them I have found, one being a certain someone whom I cannot say who is... but well she is damn good looking.... the other is well you... sloppy looking guy" He glared at him with a bit of disappointment before his eyes lit up. "Well how about it... ill invite you to come with me to the Island of Oishiden.. a nice place indeed... you can meet my master he is sooooooo nice and intelligent.... if you want of course...."

I can't force you to do such things, if you'd like to try it on your own behalf, I am more than happy to help you craft out your own kiseru. One's kiseru is their own personal symbol, it is like a new born child, it is not to be shared with anyone unless it's a very special circumstance.
