Welcome to Gaia! ::

This is where all the talks are held and where the Kazekage is most of the time. Working.

The offices are alike to most buildings in the village of the sand apart from it being considerably larger than most.

The Kazekage's actual office is a rather small room with peeling yellow wallpaper and a single wooden desk on which there are some papers and two bowls of something unidentifiable also on the table is a rather nice looking green plant, it looks like some kind of flower that's slowly growing, it's probably the most eye pleasing thing in the room. The floors are hard and wooden and there are three chairs in the room not including the Kazekage's own. The chairs are quite alike to the floor in that they are also hard and wooden with no cushions or anything for comfort. It's clearly a place for work rather than resting.

Instead of catching the attention of the receptionist he had accidentally caught the attention of Theta, a Jounin (or so Sol would've thought if he knew anything about her).

She walked out from the corridor she was in and towards Sol not making her presence known until she was right beside him, it was of course, so that she didn't have to raise her voice and make him feel uncomfortable as were her duties these days. Contrasting his rather violent show when he banged a Daichi on the floor, it should have given him a good idea if nothing else that the kind of behaviour he was displaying in the offices was not advisable.

"You want a mission?" She replied to his earlier statement, implying that she could, in fact give him a mission which would've been preposterous if he hadn't looked at the Kazekage's hat underneath her arm. Held snug and firm there for all to see.

Everything seemed to point to the fact that something important was going on and that Theta seemed to know an awful lot about it. Usually it was the Kazekage himself who would give missions, not some Jounin that just came along from nowhere.

"Ah well. That's a long story." Theta said pausing a moment and facing the ceiling of the building, thinking about exactly how she was going to explain this to Sol, before facing him again and preparing to speak.

"The Kazekage. He's dead." She stated, quite bluntly not to Sol but rather at him. How would Sol respond to this was anybody's guess really but the four words she'd used seemed to sum up everything pretty nicely.

Theta lifted a hand to her face and put her index finger on top of her lip and considered what this meant, now that she had taken charge, hopefully he'd catch on to the fact instead of perhaps thinking something like 'You've killed him'.

Although Theta was doing a good job of pretending not to care about the Kazekage's death she was only able to keep face because she'd learnt about it so much earlier than Sol and so although it was crushing she had to keep a straight face for everyone around her. If she couldn't keep one as the new leader of the village then who would?

Sol's reaction was, natural, it was what you'd expect from him. Nothing more and nothing less. His own overwhelming emotion made it ever harder for Theta to keep her face blank but she remained the same apart from a small twitch on her lip.

"We don't know. All we know is it happened at the Kage's meeting. Whoever or whatever it is, it's dangerous. I'm considering ordering a quarantine on all the shinobi who came even close to there." She replied, now, it should have been obvious. Theta had been appointed Kazekage of the village and had already seriously begun considering what her role required. Of course, in these kinds of times you needed allies above else and the fact that her Ninja were already eager for missions helped. They'd probably be willing to do anything if they thought it was for the good of the village and although it was a mundane task she was going to send Sol on, it was still something highly important.

Sasoriza entered the building, breathless, and a smile lit her face as she saw Sol. But the smile quickly disappeared as she saw the serious face of the woman next to him and the carefully controlled look on Sol's face. "What did I miss?? What's going on?? What happened?!"

Sasoriza fell silent, too shocked to speak. Inside, she was roaring in anger and pain. Who would dare do such a thing?! "Why...? B-but how...? It can't....be possible...." She murmured, horrified. The controlled anger inside her seemed to simmer down as she turned to the woman, but the hatred in her eyes were still there. "Is there any clue to who did it?" Her voice was abnormally still, emotionless. That was a bad sign.

Wiping away the tear, he turned back to Theta. "When canwe see him? Is his...body, even here?" The thought that their leader was dead fell like bricks on the young Genin. Another line of thought dawned on him.

"How soon can a taskforce be formed to hunt down His killers?" Now that the situation was known to him, all Sol could think of was finding whoever was responsible. And making them pay.
