Time flies when you're busy with work

Mun! H-How could you forget what day it is? It's the Day of the Ninja!

[ And also the day the mun headcanoned for his birthday because it is said day. ]

... I guess saying the day snuck up on you is okay. That's very ninja like.


A-and... what has my life become in RP lately? I-I mean it's...

… We have a day?

[why did no one tell him this]

[sponsorigami]

Yes! December 5th is the Day of the Ninja, a day when we all should dress and act ninja-like.

[ And because ninja aren't as vocal to talk a certain way like pirates do. Dattebayo doesn't count. ]

[desertdaggers]

Well, that's good to know for next year. But what kind of party could it be, if everyone's trying to be quiet…?

[he doesn't know that one, it definitely doesn't count]

[sponsorigami]

A... quiet party?

[ Maybe it can be a huge game of hide and seek? ]

[desertdaggers]

It probably would be. Maybe everyone would ease into the conversation after a while, though…

[that sounds like a good idea. although it could take a while to find everyone…]

[sponsorigami]

Maybe they could talk about ninja techniques and weapons.

[ Unless they are trade secrets. In which point, they are back to having the same problem all over again. ]

[desertdaggers]

Mm! That should be interesting Certain things are common, but- I doubt they'd all work quite the same way.

[eyup. but there's got to be a safe subject somewhere…]

[sponsorigami]

Like shuriken! Maybe we can talk about the best way to throw them and keep their edges sharp.

[desertdaggers]

Sounds like a good starting place to me. [also how many is a good number to carry if they can't create their own :|b] Ah, and perhaps the missions that have stood out the most in their minds!

[sponsorigami]

But some of those might still be secret too.... Ah, this is a lot harder than I thought.

[desertdaggers]

That's true. I suppose the only way we'll really find out how it all goes is by setting one up.

[sponsorigami]

The easiest part will be letting others know about the party. Ninja always find these things out easily.

[ Except when the ninja is named Ivan Karelin. ]

[desertdaggers]

Mm! And we'll see who turns up and take it from there.

[just as well he's helping to get it started then?]

[sponsorigami]

[ Very true. He won't be the last to know. ]

The first thing we should probably figure out is a location. With that many ninja in one place, it has to be big but still hidden.

[desertdaggers]

An open space, maybe? Somewhere no one but ninja would think to go.

[sponsorigami]

Like one of those secret clearings in the forests you can only find deep inside the woods?

[desertdaggers]

Just what I was thinking! That'll be perfect.

[sponsorigami]

... Do you know where one of those are? I live in a city so...

[ He has no clue. ]

[desertdaggers]

I do! I think the Lampflower Forest would suit our purposes quite well.

…the question is, would everyone make it there…

[cross-canon gaps and all]

[sponsorigami]

I don't know that place. It sounds... magical.

[ Which is not the right word exactly, but it's the best Ivan's got at the moment. ]

[desertdaggers]

[he chuckles] Well, you're quite right! The Spirit of Wood generally makes her home there, although she's a little timid. I'm sure she wouldn't mind our presence, though. [especially if he makes sure to ask first.]

[sponsorigami]

Maybe we can offer her protection in exchange. It's the least we can do for her letting us use the area.

[desertdaggers]

We could! I'm sure she'd appreciate it. She's… [he makes a little of a face, shaking his hand in a 'so-so' gesture] a little unsure of herself, sometimes.

[sponsorigami]

Is she afraid of lumberjacks or forest fires?

[ Spirits seem to be powerful things, so the idea of one being unsure of herself is a little strange to him. Entirely possible, but also a little strange. ]

[desertdaggers]

I don't think the Elves would allow lumberjacks…

It didn't seem like it was anything like that, though. It's… more like she lacks self-confidence, really.
