Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Something extra?" he mused. "I'm Genin. I need to eat, sure, but for the unknown, recognition is worth more than gold. A single word in the right ears is better than a thousand coins."

For a few minutes, Westly said nothing, deeply in thought. Wires would be tricky. He had heard tales of ninja that fought with marionettes as weapons. It seemed absurd and impractical, but those same tales claimed it was a viable technique. If only I had a specimen to examine, I could replicate the technology, he thought, but 'if only' never saved a pigeon.

Westly's train of thought drifted slowly outside of the proverbial box. Was a chain a wire? A nunchaku with the wooden pieces connected by wires instead of chains might work. Westly made a mental note of the idea, and tagged it as "Practical but Boring". As an afterthought, he appended "Wire Kusarigama" to the end of the "Wire Nunchaku" idea. Same principle, but a Kusarigama just seemed more interesting somehow. He'd let the customer choose.

He thought back to his previous ideas. The quarterstaff was a bust, but the crossbow... the crossbow had a wire in it already. Well, technically it was a drawstring or whatever they called it--he'd look it up--but it could be made from wires.

Finally, Westly came up with one of his more traditionally outlandish ideas: "Rocket-Propelled Bolas". A length of wire with two small bottle rockets attached to each end. If aimed properly, they'd fly past their targets on either side, and circle around, trapping the opponent... Mentally, Westly filed the idea away in deep storage. Hilarious, but it seemed too impractical. Keep it simple, stupid, he berated himself.

Westly sketched out the best idea of the three. "Wire Nunchaku," he said in description. "If you block with the wire, it goes taut like a thick guitar string. Simple, effective, and anytime you block, you can get a jutsu off. I'll fiddle around with the materials until I find a wire that's thin and flexible but still strong. I had some other ideas I could tinker with, but this is probably the most straightforwardly effective."

Shin had herd so much about this shop through advertisements in the village square, so he decided to pay a visit to this shop and maybe purchase something from it. He opened the door entering it, ducking his head from hitting the top due to his height. He flipped his dread locks to the back of his head to get a better view of the shop, until he saw Sachi and Tougura. ”I wonder what they could be doing here?” He said to himself. But not to be rude he waved at the two. “Hey Sachi and Tougura.” He said in a cheerful upbeat manner. “Boy I haven’t really seen either of you for some time now…how’s it been going with the both of you?”

“Nah I came here to buy some blank paper seals and scrolls, plus some smokes, for my boredom.” He looked around the shelves and picked out what he needed and sat it on the counter, now all he had to do is just wait for westly to finish business with Tougura and Sachi. “say we never did celebrate the two of you becoming chunin, and Sachi is on his way of becoming a jounin, how about I treat the both of you at the bar if the both of you aren’t to busy. He said while rubbing the back of his head, hoping they would say yes, Shin had not seen either sachi or Tougura for a while now and he wanted to do some catching up.

Shin turned his head towards the original Westly, he hoped. “Well I already have everything I need right here on the counter. Oh and as for the imported tobacco I guess I’d take it off you’re hands.” Shin reached into his pocket and pulled his wallet out and looked towards Weastly. “Is a 20 good?”.

The only reason I’ve started to smoke is because I'm bored and when I get bored I start to get a little irritable, besides it’s not like I’m going to continue doing it, unless I become very bored. It's been too quiet around the village lately, like the calm before the storm. Damn I need a mission to do. He Changed the subject when he herd Echo’s name being mentioned. So Echo is the dude from last years exams right? I haven’t really met him before.

Yama entered the front door of the strange shoop and walked to Westly at the front desk. "Howdy, do you have any of that chakra paper, the one that tells you your chakra type", he asked Westly?

" It's good to see you too bud", Yama replied walking to the reagents section and grabbing a set of papers. He then walked up and paid more than the exact amount for the goods. " Keep the change, I got a new Genin friend that I'm trying to help train. Stop by some time", he said walking out the store and trowing his hand up lazily. "Later"
