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...

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.

[sponsorigami]

Ah, but it sounds like the elves are her friends... maybe?

Would they be okay with us borrowing the area?

[desertdaggers]

Something like that. She's not their guardian spirit, exactly, but… they know her better than any of the rest of us.

As long as we don't disturb it too much, it shouldn't be a problem. And that is part of our art, is it not?

[sponsorigami]

[ Ivan laughs. Stealth is part of their art. Except for when Ivan tires to be seen on purpose so that the sponsors' names get out there. ]

I guess all we have to do is get the word about and let other ninja know where to go and what to expect.

[desertdaggers]

[which is also a kind of art, if you think about it.]

Mm! Would you like to do the honours, or shall I?

[and. should we make this a thing that happens?]

[sponsorigami]

Maybe you should since you know the forest and the spirit better than me... or well, know them...

[ And they should probably ask first before formally planning anything without the spirit's blessing to use the forest as a meeting place. ]

[desertdaggers]

Alright. You'll be getting the word out, then?

[…well, true. And the elves. He's sure they won't mind, but it won't hurt to make sure.]

[sponsorigami]

I can do that, I think... I can start folding origami shuriken and leaving messages inside.

[ Because that's clearly the best way to invite ninja to a party. ]

[desertdaggers]

Mm, that sounds good! Though… is that eye-catching enough?

[of course blending in is good and well, but… what if someone only finds one after the date has passed?]

[sponsorigami]

Then... maybe they need to brush up on their ninja skills...? I mean, the origami won't be the only way to find out.

[desertdaggers]

Well, maybe… But they won't know there's something to be looking out for before they find it, right?

What other ways are you thinking of?

[sponsorigami]

But ninja spy on other ninja, right? So if that ninja finds the origami, then the other ninja will know too because they spied on the them.

[ Now he's just making this complicated. ]

[desertdaggers]

Hm… I don't know about that. I think the others in the Guild are just a bit gossipy.

Why would they have any reason to spy on the other ninja? Or weren't looking at that moment?

[too complicated.]

[sponsorigami]

You're part of a guild?

[ Asked to himself mostly. It must be nice to be part of a ninja guild. ]

Uh, well I guess I could put up some signs, but that seems... too visible.

[desertdaggers]

Mm, the Navarre Thieves' Guild.

But the point is making sure people know.
