tabtabtabtabtab[ O A S I S ] --- HEALING AND RESEARCH ORGANISATION
Created by two shadow investors and headed by a Doctor by the name of Nuramai Kura, OASIS is an organization that spearheads healing and research for the ninja world. Created one year after the war with Kogarashi, the organization started small and quickly gained traction with small villages and homesteads devastated by Kogarashi's warpath. The two shadow investors, along with the head of the organization make up the Board of Directors-- but only the head of the organization has ever been seen. OASIS holds two separate branches; Dance Macabre built up of researchers, and Danse de la Vive built up of healers and doctors. Each branch has their uniforms to wear in all public areas, but can opt to not wear them in areas with no civilian access. All members of OASIS are sworn to secrecy about the other members of the organization, and sign contracts not to not talk about their or anyone else's involvements.
Agreement with Konohagakure to be able to supply aid if needed was obtained one year after creation, but it took two more years to get agreement from Arashigakure due to the inability to find it at first and then the weariness of the Arashikage. Aid to Estia was set up almost immediately after the organization was at top operational capacity.
Dance Macabre: Wear uniforms reminiscent to that of Plague Doctors, with long robes holding numerous research and collection tools. The beak of the masks hold rebreathers and collection filters, and the robes themselves are airtight and sealed for safety with fuinjutsu. These members are not seen often, but are often avoided when they are.
Danse de la Vive: Wear pure white robes and veil to hide their features, the veil is full-face and sealed with fuinjutsu to prevent transmission of disease. The robes are made to prevent transmission but aren't as sealed as the Dance Macabre members.
Layout of Civilian Areas: Most of the Cilivian structures reside along the top of the waterfall where the cleanest water is. Several white, adobe-like buildings, make up the different departments. Outpatient surgery, primary care, and oncology reside here. The ares is thoroughly decorated in relaxing flora and seems fairly landscaped. Intake and admissions is also a building that resides here, but all admitted patients are taken to a lower level.
Admitted patients and all other specialties other than infectious disease and physciatry are in the first level on the side of the waterfall and built in to the mountain itself. The access to civilians is restricted to family and close friends here. These two levels are made of Danse de la Vive staff only.
Third level is infectious disease and psyciatry which is equal parts Dance Macabre and Danse de la Vive members. This floor has patient only access, and is only available in special circumstance.
Fourth floor is faculty on-call rooms and the cafeteria, with the other side of the waterfall being emergency medicine and trauma, unavailable to all but patients.
Reductions: Rank applicable esei reductions, -1 post for medicine and poison making for staff
Joining: Talking with Dr. Kura, the head of the hospital, and helping the organization might net you a place in the organization. Finding and talking to the two shadow investors/board members might also get you in, but their names are struck from most of the paperwork and Dr. Kura does not talk about them.
When joining you can chose whether or no to live on and off base. When on base and working for OASIS you forgo a name in favor for a codename and must wear your uniform at all times.
You let go of all ties and alliances to your old home. when living on base.
While living off base, you cannot mention your ties to OASIS.

With a soft clink, a sterilized glass vial was placed atop a cold metal counter.This brightly lit operating room had been reserved for a private, secret appointment, yet the sole living being was a woman with forest green hair and eyes the same deep scarlet as the ornaments that adorned her hair and spider lilies that patterned her garb The unique garb she wore marked her as, likely, one of the leaders of Oasis's Danse de la Vive, but there was no patient for her to treat. The operating table was empty and the cart of operating tools was nowhere near it. Instead, it stood besides the green-haired doctor, who on this one rare occasion, took off her mask.
Ever so familiarly, Kagerou's smile reflected off the mirror set-up she had summoned from a scroll. It was a stand, with a multitude of mirrors that could reflect every angle. Turning her head one way then the other, Kagerou wondered, "Right? Left?".
She stared head on. "Both? Let's do both."
Though, one at a time first. Breathe out. Close her eyes. Breathe in. Open her eyes, three black tomoe now encircling the pupil that constricted as the self-cast genjutsu took hold. She would still need to feel, but even she didn't have such insane pain tolerance that she could carefully dig out one of her eyes without some assistance. She raised the scalpel and...
"Nope," she sighed in defeat, lowering the keen edge as she released the genjutsu on herself and leaned over the counter, "Haha..." She wasn't crazy enough, or was it masterful enough, to carve out her own eyes with such intentional deliberation while still awake and fully aware. "Plan B it is then," the medical kunoichi returned to thinking to herself as, with a deft kick, she rolled the medical cart to the bed. The bells on her wrist rung with clear tones as she turned and strode to the operating table.
With each of the three steps it took to cross to the center of the room, a Medical clone came to life in a puff of smoke besides Kagerou. Much like the original, they were masters of multi-tasking, humming, ringing, and signing the techniques into being that they needed to prepare for the operation ahead. While Kagerou changed into operation garb in a puff of smoke and laid herself upon the table, the clones bustled around her, getting preparations ready as surgeons and nurses. Bodies were sanitized. Liquid anesthesia was brought and set up. In due time, she was down and out, and her clones had begun the operation to acquire her sharingan for outside use and then restore her eyes using a personal variant of the healing hands technique.
It was all over in approximately half an hour. Fifteen minutes later, Kagerou slowly came to conscious, blinking open a pair of newly grown eyes into an empty room. Her clones had all since dispersed. At first, her vision was hazy, the restoration not quite perfect, but with some minor physical adjustments, she achieved her normal perfect vision. With her vision restored, she could see her old eyes, her natural eyes, peering back at her from the counter top. Well, she wasn't sure if the crimson dyed spheres bobbing in preservation fluid were very "natural" anymore after all of the permanent changes she had gone through with them, but they had been her first. First eyes. First body part she was born with being torn off and replaced.
She snapped her fingers sharply right besides her ear, breaking the stream of her thoughts before they needlessly meandered any further. It was just her physical body. What was inside was still the same.She still knew who she was.
More importantly, it was time. Casting away this likeness that was what she would probably have looked like if she had never altered her body, Kagerou transformed from her genetic coding up into someone entirely different.
James had many forms they used to keep their identity anonymous. Even their chakra would change on the regular, and the James today would be a lovely lady with mahogany brown hair that was almost as vibrant as the red lily motif of the outfit that reappeared on James's body, replacing the patient's garb. There was no jingling of bells, but occasionally, the golden adornments on the sleeves would clink together in soft clicks. Though a veil covered her face, the blushing outline of deep red lips could still be seen through the tin cloth and distinctive stitch marks, a tattoo upon closer inspection, ran across her face and limbs. Her eyes stood out the most, however. Amid all vivid browns and reds and golds, they were absolutely devoid of color, hooded black wells of unknown depths. The only thing blacker than those eyes was the bottomless void that was her newly formed chakra manifestation and color, a black hole that briefly surrounded James's person as it was being created before fading into invisibility.
With the transformation complete in all aspects, James smiled calmly and left the cleaned and vacant room, turning off the lights on her way out. The pair of vials that contained Kagerou's eyes were safely stowed in a storage scroll she carried on her person.
The sun gleamed upon yet another peaceful day at OASIS. In robes of vibrant red and pure white, a young brunette smiled with a stitched smile as she tended to some herbs she'd noticed could benefit from some pruning. Not terribly far from where she had started working after getting bored, a small table with two chairs had been set up for a modest tea meeting. Today, there would be a very special guest. However, if James judged this individual's character correctly from all the hearsay she had heard, then the guest likely wouldn't mind catching their host messing around in the dirt.
Sheva of the Valkyrie. James wondered what meeting a proud woman of such moral standing would be like. If his information network served him correctly, then she was a former member of Arashigakure, who had left for some reason. It was unfortunate. She thought that perhaps Sheva would have been able to get along with the paragon of justice that hailed from the villages of cloud and storm, and now served the entirety of the land of lightning. Then again, perhaps that she had left the village with Kenshin was a telling sign of its own in some way.
Whatever the case, the doctor was about to find out soon because there she was. Sheva, the lady of the hour, coming in through the greenhouse door. Gracefully, the member of Danse de la Vive stood, brushing the dirt off her hands as she smiled through her veil at the incoming warrior. Through the thin cloth, the curve of vibrant red lips could be barely made out, but no other details. Stepping carefully out of the plants, James took to the customs of the garb she wore and greeted Sheva with a deep bow, "Good afternoon, lady Sheva. Many thanks for accepting my invitation." She raised herself up and watched with keen interest the woman opposite her. Motioning with a gentle sweep of her arm and incline of her body, James asked, "The trip here must have been tiring. Should we relax for a spot of tea before discussing the matters I called you here for?". Sheva would be well aware of the matters James spoke of. A partnership between Valkyries and OASIS, or otherwise some sort of understanding and cooperation over their shared interests in the well being of all people, was what she hoped to achieve with this meeting.

▰ Angel's Mystical Hand Technique [ Tenshi no Shousen Jutsu ] | Rank S+ | Iryojutsu | Spiritual Conceptualized by and developed on the research done by the demon of the hospital and Kagerou's mentor, Dr. Angel, Angel's Mystical Hands is really a technique that was, in all ways just shy of traditional instruction, taught to Kagerou by a non-shinobi. The pinnacle of the healing hands technique line, Tenshi no Shousen Jutsu can regenerate limbs and organs within milliseconds, even when nothing is left. The body is rebuilt using the blueprint found in the DNA code of cells fron other parts of the same body, recreating a perfectly healthy and ready to use replacement that even retains any bloodline properties the original had. Any stamina or chakra lost through any tier of status, trauma included, is automatically restored to the patient. If this technique is used on a target which has not endured trauma then they gain stamina and chakra equal to the cost of this technique. If this technique is used on oneself then the stamina and chakra gain is only equal to the rank of the technique.
▰ Kiritani Hidden Technique: Medical Clone | Rank B | Iryojutsu | Spiritual The Medical clone requires the chakra control and intimacy with the human body unique to practitioners of iryojutsu. By linking the clone-s chakra network with the user's upon creation, the medical clone is able to share the user's energy resources and can continue to sustain itself even when the user is no longer conscious. When the user is conscious, the clone disappears after being hit with a B-rank attack or lower. When the user is unconscious, the clone is easier to deal with, disappearing upon being hit by a C-rank attack or lower. The stability of this clone's makeup limits it to using medical techniques that the user knows and prevents it from creating clones itself. Like a shadow clone, the clone relays information to the original when it is dispersed.
Sheva landed in the courtyard and followed a trail to the greenhouse. Though she had heard of OASIS before, the organization as a whole was unknown to her. When Estia still stood, she knew that Lady Sonyo worked for them for a brief time but that was all that was known to her. A friendly meeting never hurt anyone, even so the idea of the Valkyrie having assistance in the defense of the civilian populace intrigued her. She walked slowly and was greeted by a young woman within its glass walls. The woman was cordial and friendly " Good Afternoon M'lady, I have to admit. " She smiled and looked at the woman, she was finely dressed " I was surprised to receive your invitation. "
She walked slowly through the massive greenhouse, Sheva always admired people with a green thumb. Though she was admirer, she was not the right person for plants nor has she been the one to keep one alive " Flight makes the trip much more enjoyable and a little effortless. " Sheva held out her hand so that she may slightly brush the plants that surrounded her.

To Sheva's mention of surprise, the young host said naught a word. Merely closed her eyes and nodded in understanding. They opened as the medic felt the presence of the other shinobi shift, and without turning her head, she watched Sheva walk through the greenhouse, admiring with sight and touch the various herb specimens that grew within. "I am glad you encountered no troubles on your way here," the woman garbed in white replied as she slowly caught up to red-garbed warrior and then fell into a relaxed pace beside her, "We have several greenhouses such as this. If you would like, I could show you around this and the others." Hands clasped together beneath the overlapping sleeves of the kimono, James happily enjoyed the relaxed pace of their meeting so far. Her eyes faced forwards to see where she would step next, and occasionally, they would drop to the side to look at one herb or the other. However, never did James's field of vision turn so far that Sheva was ever out of his peripherals.
The walked at a relaxed pace as Sheva was enjoying not having to have a watchful eye on the Valkyrie. She cradled plants in her hands and smelled them, taking in their structures and color. Relaxing even for a moment felt rejuvenating, James was always really close but Sheva never took it into direct consideration " M'lady, Why has Oasis been so elusive until now. " She was just curious seeing that this medical conglomerate was tranquil at the moment " I'm just wondering on how we can have a beneficial relationship. "

"OASIS's purpose is to offer medical aid to all who require it, regardless of alliances, pasts, or anything else that can separate us. Of course, to achieve such a goal, neutrality is a must. An organization without enemies, but also without allies." Calmly, steadily, James proceeded to explain OASIS's standings in the general scope of politics, and though it may not have seemed related to Sheva's question at first, the doctor was slowly getting to that point. "We are a small organization of those who wish to heal and comfort those in need. We have no place on the international stage, and in fact, it would be beneficial for us in many ways to remain as an afterthought in the minds of the international players. If we are seen as neither a threat nor a party strong enough to be an ally worthy of consideration, then we will be neither pursued nor pressured into foregoing our ideals for survival as a pawn on their board game. There is a delicate balance to maintain, where we are recognized enough to garner permission to treat patients in a nations' borders but not so important as to be considered of value."
That was a lot to say at once, and not feeling like saying much after such a tirade, James took her sweet time before finishing. Pausing in her steps for a a moment, she gently cupped a bundle of hawthorn berries towards her and examined their color, luster, and feel. Once satisfied, she slowly returned them the position they had previously hung in and continued her walk.
Feeling at ease strolling through the fresh air of the green house, she talked the talk as she walked the walk, "We are ill suited to defending ourselves openly. However, we will remain limited in the paths we can take, elusive as you so aptly described it, if we are to continue having to be wary of every step forwards we have to take. We were hoping that the Valkyries could assist us with this dilemma we have on our hands." The specifics of how and why were intentionally left out. Instead, ending it before the answer was fully given, James turned her veiled smile to Sheva to process her expressions, her reactions, and her answer to the thought half finished.
Sheva smiled and nodded, she made sure to absorb the information that she was receiving. Though James has been more then hospitable; Sheva has been brought into an... unfortunate alliance that has since been terminated. Even with that in mind, Sheva found the transparency refreshing and it put in at ease. She in place, though she thought the idea of an alliance was brilliant; She had been deceived in the past " Your transparency is refreshing, I have been deceived in the past with false alliances. " She walked over to a small bench and relaxed a bit more " A Valkyries allegiance is eternal and all I can offer. "

"Alliance and allegiance," James mulled quietly over the words, "The Lady Sheva is incredibly generous to even consider us worthy of such honors." The doctor of OASIS felt honored by the thought an alliance with the Valkyries and also by the compliment of transparency that Sheva had given earlier. Continuing to exhibit such transparency, the director warned, "However, you have only met us. No matter what impression I may give here and now, is it not still too soon to decide if I am worth your trust?". While Sheva sat and relaxed, the robed James stood in front of her, physically conveying the message she wished to pass with the distance she put between herself and the other woman. "With neither time nor tried and true trust between us, I propose an exchange instead, limited in scope while we feel each other out. OASIS will send several of our teams to the Valkyries, to provide medical aid outside of combat. In exchange, the Valkyries will station several teams near OASIS, to protect OASIS and its members as they see fit, whether it is guarding the walls of our headquarters or accompanying the teams we send out. How does that sound?". The deep black eyes, all this time, had been staring at the ground between herself and Sheva. As she finished what she had to say, however, those dark, lightless wells raised to look into Sheva's bright brown hues. Beneath the thin white veil, the stark red outline of the lips appeared to be curved in a soft smile.
Cooperation, without relinquishing command, and an exchange that aided each other while giving a chance to feel the other side out. These were the main goals James had with this deal.
She leaned forward on the bench and thought for a moment before answering; if there was ever a moment where she felt like there was a possible plethora of information, it was now. Sheva made sure to mill over what James said. She was happy to ally herself and the Valkyrie with OASIS; there had to be an equivalent exchange " There is a little something if I may ask. " She wondered if telling James of her mission was being too transparent " I'm going to ask that this remains between us, but there is information that I have been seeking. "
She chewed a bit on her lips for a moment and looked at James " What do you know of the Sharingan Eye and the Uchiha Clan? " She leaned back into the bench again and rubbed her knuckles. She was unsure about revealing a smaller part of her larger plan. She hadn't trusted anyone thus far in this information, but she knew that if she was going to ally herself with OASIS, there had to be transparency for further trust.

Resisting the urge to tilt her head from side to side in thought and observation, an urge she's had to resist multiple times in this one conversation already, the OASIS director and negotiator quietly watched the lady Sheva as she mulled and milled. Only for a little while, however. The half-lidded eyes turned away before too long, looking up into the branches of the alder tree that shaded the bench Sheva sat upon. Light streamed in past the branches, but even with those eyes exposed to such golden rays, they remained dip pits of unfathomable black.
When Sheva began speaking again, those sharp black eyes darted down to look her in the eye. The rest of James's face followed shortly after. With that ever present smile behind her voice, James read aloud the silent meaning behind Sheva's spoken words, "I suppose what I know is that... it is fortunate that you have an interest in the bloodline."
She had to pause. What would the current James do in this situation?
James bowed politely and softly requested, "If the lady Sheva could please trust me, just for this little while, could we strike a balance in the arrangements between our two organizations prior bringing the sharingan into the equation?". Hair cascaded gracefully down her shoulder as her head lowered, eyelids dropping as the upper half of James's body did. The gesture did not last long, and soon, James returned to standing elegantly, back straight but pose relaxed.
Despite being given a powerful bargaining chip, James did not take advantage of the Lady Sheva, but she understood why the lady would think that, right now, the Valkyries weren't getting enough. Therefore, she attempted to offer an alternative, "If you feel the exchange I recommended is inadequate, then I can adjust the numbers so that we send more people than you send us. Though, their limitations will remain the same in that they will not actively assist the Valkyries in combat. OASIS can also offer the medicine we produce for the Valkyrie to use as their desire. We can also send teachers of the botanical and medical arts, both civilian and shinobi." As much as possible, James wanted to make this a deal between two organizations, not something that was settled by the desires of one leader being fulfilled solely by the capabilities and good luck of the other. Common as it might be for partnerships between organizations to be born between a personal exchange between two leaders, the medic wanted to let her heads be in the clouds a little when it came to OASIS. She wanted to attempt to achieve the ideal with each step she took.
Sheva nodded and listened carefully to James again, though this was her first real alliance; she also wanted to make sure that she wasn't taking advantage of OASIS " Yes, I believe that having members of Oasis stationed within the walls of Belvoir would be beneficial. " She began to think about the Valkyrie that she would like to station here in the building and on patrols. She knew that if she could keep OASIS healthy and well-defended that the benefits of the arrangement would grow " I shall send for the Prima Valkyrie and her squad to patrol OASIS. " Sheva pulled out a small notebook and started to take quick notes about what she was able to observe on the way here.
Sheva had always been a tight security person, she knew that the best line of defense was knowing the land front and back " I will have accommodations made for the members of OASIS when they arrive as well. "

Registering the fashion in which Sheva looked at and listened to her, James continued to track the ebb and flow of this conversation. Eyes blinked at the mention of the Prima Valkyrie, striking the balance of calm and surprise between a prepared yet honest negotiator.
"And likewise, we will prepare accommodations for your Prima Valkyrie, and as close as possible, a team of our own of equivalent skill," James replied right back to Sheva's offer. She raised a sleeve over her mouth as she observed how Sheva showed her agreement with the deal proposed by simply carrying forwards, actions over words. Perhaps, also, a woman who moved relentlessly forward.
In a way, James was relieved that justice grounded this woman, lest she had to wonder what she would be possible of if she pursued only one goal without other needless qualms.
Eyes like black holes closed to day dream.
This was no time to day dream, however. In a short time, those eyes reopened, greeted with the sight of Sheva continuing to scrawl in her notebook. "After this meeting, I will prepare a map of the terrain surrounding OASIS," the soft-spoken woman assured as she stepped forwards. Robes rustling with the graceful movements, the OASIS director finally took a seat on the bench besides the Valkyrie's commander. She discussed in further detail as she meticulously arranged her kimono, "The map will be sent with our doctors once you send us word that you are ready and we are ready to house your Valkyrie. Shortly thereafter, I will send our instructors. Please feel free to send your valkyries anytime after the doctors are sent. I understand if you desire some time to review the map with the people you send. As for who you send, I will trust your judgement."
"I take it, then, that we are at agreement that the basic premise of this deal is acceptable?". Perhaps Sheva could move forwards without formal acceptance, but unfortunately, James had to be a drag who needed a straight answer.
Sheva lowed her notebook and pen to look at James, though this negotiation has come closer to a close; she was enjoying herself. She smiled " Yes. Though a map won't be necessary and very little accommodations are needed. " She turned her body to James, to make sure that she was giving the woman her complete attention. Sheva began to feel comfortable with James " The Valkyrie run on twelve-hour shifts and we are completely aerial. " Sheva for a moment thought back at when she was active in her patrols, sometimes camping out on the route to learn it better "Just furs and platforms on the cliffside should be all they need. "
Something clicked in her head and she smiled again " Would having members of Oasis armored be a problem for you? "
