Being waved over by the blonde beut was likely the highlight of his day so far. Bow legged in typical punk fashion he'd take an expressive lean as he'd address Unki. "Wow aye, if it isn't miss marshmallow. Still repping that poof on yer head. Holding down the fort for T-man huh? Ol blue biz taking a break? What's the skinny." Gio would listen to Unki as she spoke of metaphorical cauldrons in a dunderheaded fashion he'd be leaning back and picking at the wax in his ears. He'd overhear some rabble bout doing some downright nasty business with lady log head. Now, as much of a lech as Gio was he liked to think he had some semblance of class. Putting two and two together like a kid he'd deduce the gist of what Unki was saying and picked up what she was putting down. "Not cause a scene huh? Your straight out asking me to go against my nature sweet thing."
Gio would pull out what would appear to be a pocket knife that carried an air of 'he was about to cause a seen and lay down a knife fight with some neer-do-wells' but Unki's concerns could dissipate as what snapped open was a comb as the man combed his hair back. "But for you doll I'll keep it tame. T-man and Hoe-mura wouldn't be too keen on me if I wrecked the place..." he paused an looked around as his face contorted slightly "more than it already is." With some sleight of hand likely to showboat for Unki he'd twirl and close the switch-comb and tuck it back in his pocket before answering her question with what sounded like a heavy seriousness in contrast to his earlier lackadaisic tone. "Damage control. Ves got his sister ta worry bout, Fi's runnin rescue, Kens likely eatin icecream like aint nothin wrong, Bren one is probably shitting himself cause his place of employ was ashed, and Bren two is scroungin for records. An me I'm lookin at a real cutie trying to keep it together for the T-man...as for the T-man himself...I was hoping he was here. Now I'm just hopin he ain't dead."
He started to walk past Unki before patting her on her shoulder "But don't you worry that pretty little bun of yours. I'll get a handle on things. You keep it sweet sugar, your new found hero Gio will lay down the spicy." After patting her shoulder down that pink haired man would abruptly sit at the table and laugh with the men whom were making lascivious commentary as he slung his arms over two of their shoulders. "Hahaha yeah guys. Why don't we tie er down an cop a feel huh, show er whose boss? I mean it's not like its ILLEGAL or nothin. I mean freedom of speech am I right fellas? Not like plotting to conspire is a warrant for CRIMINAL investigation and possible ARREST right?! I hear that Chief of Police guy is a real softie an DEFINITELY wouldn't put out an immediate IMPRISONMENT for threats implying sexual violence." Gio would lean into the guy on the lefts ear who was the most vocal of the group. "Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight?" The table would grow silent along with many others who were siding with it in a sense. Gio would then talk aloud. "Aye what's wrong! Where'd all the laughin go? Wasn't we all jokin bout somthin? How bout that ball game. Uzu aces? More like Uzu asses am I right?" the silence was broken as the subject change opened up a leeway to hate on something else. Gio wouldn't look in her direction but he'd give her a thumbs up. While his method was rather crass it worked nonetheless. If anything happened she could trust Gio to a degree to keep the lobby in tact. {Security Appointed}

A toothy grin spread on her face when she registered the meaning of Gio's thumbs up but fizzled out when she kept hearing the little word; Uzu. Unki didn't know why Uzu was such a hot button all of the sudden. The kitchen was moving, though, and that was a good sign for the masses. Before long, she worried, either everyone would need to be released or someone would have to venture out for more supplies. Unki still needed to pay a visit to the freezer but the matter of the mayhem on the next floor needed to be dealt with too. Not just Homura had been buzzing about it. There was a timer ticking away in her head about an ordinary person's typical ability to tolerate the cold. Unki, less than casually, hurried to find the stairs leading to the living quarters (assuming she was remembering correctly that folks actually lived here). She felt like it wasn't her forte to deal with huge groups. Her best idea, so far, was to move through fight move like practiced dance and slap everyone up there with a special illusion. Her next idea came was pressing her imagination to poke at fear. She wasn't sure what the crowd looked like up stairs. They were probably a collection of party animals that migrated from destination to the next, causing turmoil in their wake that was written off as horrible happenings to their unwilling hosts. Well, Unki had a trick up her purple sleeves, that was certain.

If by living quarters Unki meant the third floor she would see already that it was littered with 'corpses' a mound of unconscious bodies layered atop one another in a stack. Vaguely looking past them what appeared to be the visuals of a wide doorway that looked ornate if not tacky in the design choice of having squid shaped handles and squid decals strewn about was the likely entrance to what was the 'home' of Tosokurui within the establishment. It seemed apparent that the casualties on the floor was evidence enough that Homura kept the third floor secure and left warning that none were to ever go through the door. While she did live there the third floor 'home' as it were was sacred ground. Something that the 'wife' passionately defended above all. The First and second floors is where the rabble was given the glorious 'permission' to exist but not the third. This revealed the earlier chefs courageous act of lifting glassed from the third floor was done in knowing consequence.
However, after seeing Homura's gifts on the third floor it deterred many from proceeding it seemed, serving as a warning, on the gallery floor, the door would be rightly locked now. The second floor, which was taken to reach the third a.k.a the gallery floor, however, would noticeably have its fair share of rabble. "Where did you get this?" - "Beats me man some creepy dude came by said he raided the bar, and I ain't saying no to free booze." - "Heh yeah, man what even is this place?" - "Who cares right? Whoops." A clay sculpture fell on the ground which fell apart as one man leaned on it. This action would entice others, who seemed to have already dipped into the 'honey' to follow suit for personal amusement. The defacing of other artworks would then occur then after. While none of it was grade A they still had heart behind them. This most notable as a macaroni painting that said 'For Mommy' on it was knocked off the wall and noodly visage falling apart one could feel the heartfelt conversation that happened when it was made crumble.

As the temporary boss and one of the small handful of Ninja in the building, Unki made a stop at the pile of unconscious somebodies who were probably all victims their own brash behavior or plainly unlucky and met the beast. She poked one, two, three people to gauge how alive they were. They each could be written off as being very much alive and Homura would plainly be guilty of protecting her house and was the absolutely only reason only and Unki had no reason to be added to anyone's s**t list today. Carry on.
If the bunch on the second floor were anything like bunches on the first floor, they may not take Unki seriously upon her first request. If anyone's request to move to the first floor was going to work it would have already, she thought. Maybe they needed reaffirming that Unki wasn't just a cute face, like the once-rowdy bunch below, even if she actually didn't really do anything. On the second floor, Unki felt like she could do something freely and hopefully without creating hysteria.
The second room was proof to Unki that Toso, probably, dabbled in more than ink. She honestly didn't expect to see clay figures, toppled over and damaged, and the numerous noodle bits and pieces could probably account for all the creative atrocities the Ika-shokuji guests were committing. Alright, those thoughts noodle-related thoughts were probably firm exaggerations about how many wrongdoings were actually happening but she couldn't image what sort of tone Toso would take to all of this.
Unki crept into the room. She tried to stay low and make her way to the backside of the nearest pedestal, still standing, and waited for a moment. This was her defining moment as to what it was she was going to do. A. Putting everyone to sleep means she'd have to approach them and touch them. She highly doubted she could be overwhelmed by a couple of amateur artists but overestimating your enemy equates was typically advised against. B. Repeat her endeavors in the drop district.
Option B sounded much more fun and easy to make scaredy cats out of the second floor trespassers. Over broken pieces of pottery (which without a doubt, featured fragment of a squid) Unki crawled just a few paces further before pressing her hands together. There would be a puff of smoke but mostly a rattle of the pottery remnants clanking against its disrupted base. Whether or not Unki truly kept her stealth after this transformation was either by pure skill or some wild chance things were working out for her.
How long would it take for the second floor Trespassers to take notice of a large tiger at the wall? Hopefully not too long since Tiger-Unki was testing her growl. The growl was off some and sounded a little like a human snarling. Still, that didn't mean a talking tiger wasn't necessarily out of place. The more she snarled and growled the more she readied herself into a hunched pose that she thought mimicked a cat preparing to pounce. Good news, at least, Unki shouldn't actually have to pounce. Anything to try to get these trespassers out of the room was fair game. She felt pretty alright with this plan since she had the house's occupants and staff on her side. A tiger in the gallery? Right. If anyone's an actual tiger it would be Toso's wife with the third floor pile-up.

There were two types of reactions that typically intoxicated folk seem to take when something unexpected happens. One was to overreact which a few from the group did fleeing at the sight of the freshly formed Unk-Tiger. The other reaction, of course, was the opposite of the prior. "WOAH DUDE! The guys got a pet tiger!" - "Bro you got yer camera on you from your job snap a pic!" - "Hell yeah!" While one side fled these three goofs approached Unki without a care in the world. One holding a camera and from his attire looked to work at some form of tabloid or magazine department. The other two simply looked like run of the mill wayward youths. They both approached the Unk-Tiger only to stand side by side one throwing up a peace sign while the other placed a drunken smell hand on the Unk-Tigers head. Now this would have rightly been the time to induce terror in the dunder heads whether she did so or not would be revealed in the polaroid picture that would fall on the floor at what sounded like the ringing of a really loud bell. To those who ate at the well to do establishments, it would be a dinner bell.
Through the translucent glass panes of the second floor and looking down one could see a particularly blue skinned bartender standing on top of the bar counter and speaking loudly. But...rather than wearing a mask his face was wrapped in toilet paper looking like a bargain bin mummy. The raucus and voices calmed down if only for this moment. "Attention everyone bon! I have been given news that the orchestrated attack on the village has come to a conclusion. Fini. I have been instructed to inform you all that if you are to return to your former place of living and it is no longer livable you are to report to the Kage's office to receive temporary housing and compensation proportionate to your level of insurance bon." With a whip of his hand the first floors double doors swung open in a gust of wind. A most polite and reserved way of telling those to GTFO. "Please exit the premises in an orderly fashion bon! Merci."
People began to leave slowly but surely some more hurriedly then others wanting to know what became of their homes. Pulling the toilet paper down ever so slightly the bartender would begin his 'looking around' of the establishment. Empty glasses of water scattered about, spills as far as the eye could see, some less than pleasant to see and 'smell', tables scuffed, but at the very least the damages seemed minimized from what he could only assume to be Unki's efforts. There at the very least weren't any severe damages on the first floor...just...a monstrous amount of mess...looking to the second floor, however, and one could see that it had accrued a hefty some of damages. It was to be expected as it was home to the more fragile items. At least...thank goodness the upper floors looking glass walls remained unshattered if not covered in smudges and stains.
In this moment he would likely see the soon to be dispelling henge of one Unk-Tiger. The frenchman of whom would wave down so that he may give her proper thanks. Of course he wasn't about to force her to hurry. The picture taken of her 'crowning' moment would either be on of two things. A Unk-Tiger dealing with being pet either angrily or some other emotions or two fellows fleeing from a possibly 'terrifying' roar or some sort action to have stricken one with enough fright to have a wet spot between his legs. Trefles on the lower floor leaned over to pick up a bottle of empty liquor. "So that's where they went." Sadly it seemed his higher end reserves were an unfortunate casualty as the criminal who absconded with it got off free of persecution. "Que será, será." Ika-Shokuji was kept in tact thanks to a certain someones efforts.
-Mission Evaluation: Mano Amano: S : Unki Result: One Unki Amano fulfillled all the Criteria it took to keep the establishment known as Ika-Shokuji from falling apart and then some. With some outside help here and there she fulfilled the task she was given to do by a blue faced bartender and the fort for the most part was held together.{Complete}
Kitchen Aid: D : Unki Result: In directing and keeping the kitchen staff together overheated individuals were given a quick respite. Even if it was just tap water. Equally so likely without her direction, the kitchen may have well collapsed what with the vanishing of the earlier bartender of whom they had relied on in this time of crisis. {Complete x2}
Damage Control: D : None Result: Ika-Shokuji is, unfortunately, a mess. Thusly suffering very slight 'unfortunate' inconveniences for the staff to have to clean up. Although it likely won't have any worthwhile rewards in store help with the aftermath would be appreciated among the faculty for certain.
Delinquent Detainment: C : Unki Result: The rapscallions on the second floor defaced a good amount of art work and sculptures. The damages were heavier than expected due to its later address and their intoxication but at the very least the looking glass panes stayed intact thanks to them being scared off before things escalated. {Completex2}
Alcoholic Anonymous: C : None Result: Unfortunately the ragamuffin absconded unpersecuted. A shame as he took some of the better stock.
Public Rioting :: III : B : Unki Result: Having talked down the rabble Unki calmed down individuals enough so that lasting damages wouldn't occur on the first-floor furnishings and decor. It was quite the close call a success nonetheless. {Complete}
Emergency Provisions: B : Unki Result: Thanks to the efforts of a one Unki Amano the kitchen had the resources to try and quell some riotous folk who were more 'Hangry' than anything. It was quite likely doing so made it so that her speech was just enough to have calmed them. {Complete}
Dinner and a Show: A : None Result: A good show may have made it so that the whole restaurant could have come out of this whole ordeal unscathed and with a bunch of pleased faces leaving as opposed to disgruntled and irritable ones. Though getting a group together in such a place was likely a pipe dream.
Public Rioting :: IV : A : Unnecessary Result: Thank Goodness it never reached this point.

The plan mostly succeeded when she ended up actually sending some off for their lives. The trio that sought to take a snap a photo had Unki wonder what a smiling tiger would look like. Her prowling pose turned into her taking a seat between them and "sitting pretty" with her ears back. Unamused. These three were apparently the bravest men alive or just stupid beyond reason. The photo to ultimately come to light was that of her, taking a lunge at one at the calve of a leg closet to her. She didn't bite but just grabbed at with her enormous paws. Probably being inebriated, none of the men found the will to fight back, rather, the one being "attacked" shrieked and his friends panicked. Unki released him and watched the trio shoved their way out of the doorway, back to the stairs.
Once herself again, Unki thought herself lucky she wasn't kicked. Yeah, the "captured" youth was pushing at her face in sheer panic but nothing to stir more than a sneeze from having her nose bopped one-time too many. The gallery was a mess and Unki thought how different things could have been if she was sooner to get things done. She was just one Unki with dangerous clones best kept out of the way in a civilian setting. The photo was collected.
Below, Trefles had apparently shooed everyone out of the restaurant and the mess left behind was one Unki could think would turn back into a packed house of people at any minute. Unki left the second floor gallery. She took a look over her shoulder and grimaced at the mess that Toso would eventually come home too. He might have to go into making mosaics at this rate. "Gallery's empty. Third floor has a heap of defeated trespassers that wasn't me, I promise." Her report of the above floors was casually delivered with a shrug as she returned to the first floor. She brought the collected photo up and held it out in front of her to give to Trefles. Of course, finding Trefles with a makeshift mask made with wrappings made her feel sheepish. She had dropped him earlier and that may have been the ticket to smashing his face-er- mask. Mask? Yeah.
"One of the trespassers had a camera." Unki was finding it best not to say a lot about accidentally dropping him and to just let him enjoy the spoils of a fake-tiger's photograph. "There's one more thing that I need to look into. I'd like to help you clean a little, afterwards." Unki stepped away and hurried off back to the kitchen. Inside, the kitchen staff was starting to look awfully relieved since the wait staff reported the crowd vacated. The stolen glasses that Homura had probably beaten someone up about already were being carefully washed when Unki came in.
It was unfortunate that Unki felt like she was, somewhat, apart of the stolen glass conspiracy. Ignored! The walk-in cooler was her target interest since she couldn't allow herself to forget the handiwork of Mr. Helmet. She very much expected to find two shivering men, holding each other for warmth, as the cool air waft its way out when she pulled open the metal door. She propped a nearby, bulky, trash bin to keep the door open beside her in the doorway.
The two men Mr. Helmet had taken away for disruptive behavior were very much hugging. They'd got past the sobbing phase of fear and just went to survival mode in the bitter cold and had frozen tears on their faces. Unki waved them to move out with the gesture of her hand.

"Ah I'm certain Moi's patron would appreciate this, perchance it will be framed and used to compliment the now disheveled gallery bon." Trefles would say appreciative but also hinting inquisitively why she wouldn't like to keep the photo herself as memorabilia of today...actually re-thinking on that thought with a gloved hand on his chin it made sense that she likely wouldn't want to be reminded of this day. God knows that Trefles himself didn't. "Tres Magnifique it would be most appreciated." he would say in regards to her offer to assist in cleaning procedures. Trefles himself would then take it upon himself to take up the weapons of cleanliness being a dustpan and broom and begin while Unki tended to the freezer.
It was at this point that Unki opened the Freezer the two shivering men found their freedom. Both of which grabbed Unki's legs for a brief moment of warmth and like groveling toadies would kiss her feet while belting 'Thank you, thank you, our savior, goddess!' Before the back door that lead to the drainage way opened and they'd see the 'man' who'd put them in their before they crawled like panicked children. "Ah I forgot about them. I'd have come back sooner but was tied up with this one blub." Lifting her up by her collar was Haruko, whom would then do whatever it is Haruko's do upon being put down. With the diving helmet 'man' clearly unamused with how he was 'assaulted' and then washed with a wave of conspiracy theories. It would then be seen that clinging to his helmet were tiny octopi. The mention of Homura's claim that they weren't a kindergarten must have meant that these were the helmet mans er..kids? His other 'greater' secret would remain as such.YOU! STRETCH! the familiar voice would ring through the kitchen."Oh blub..." and with that the verbal railing and finger-wagging coming from Toso's 'wife' began about his incompetence and how he was to handle all the crumpled bodies on the third floor.
When Unki would leave the kitchen to reunite with the bartender her 'security force' would swagger towards her bowlegged and with a smug expression. "Well now, not bad honey bun, I'd say T-man should be worshippin ya when he gets back...hopefully he gets back. Aaaanyway, here you are, just in case you need my services again." shifting from pompous to concerned to 'suave' he'd wink as he pulled out what looked like a business card from his front pocket and stroked his hair back giving the card to Unki before heading out the double doors. The card if she read it as opposed to burning it or ripping it in half would read Gio Luchino, Professional Ninja, Lover, Knife Juggler, Physical Trainer, and the very last line Licensed Hairdresser with the address to a fairly popular Salon among both men and women. After that Unki would be free to do as she pleased. Whether that be striking up conversation with Trefles aiding in cleaning up water and 'other' liquids or finding out what everything happened to the village that this whole evacuation to the restaurant became necessary. Though whatever she prssed to do Trefles would make a brief commentary. "I do wish I know what or rather whom struck me in such a manner that my mask was damaged. It is not as though I cannot make another but at the very least it would prove a favorable thing to know bon. Ah, and once again you recieve my thanks Mademoiselle Amano."

ooc: edit with new image Things were beginning to wrap up. The near-freeze-pop captives hadn't frozen over just yet and plainly left Unki feeling all sorts of awkward with the out pour of praise and apparently speechless. One hand and head at a time, Unki would pat the chilled pair on their heads with a slightly warmed hand. There there. You're welcome. Her ankles must be warm. Unki didn't have to worm herself free like she thought she might. With Mr. Helmet present she stood like narrow, rooted tree that waved and twisted some to watch the less freezing men scramble away. She kept her hands together, against her waist looking like a tidy housemaid withstanding the oddities unfolding in this kitchen with an upright attitude. The one who she had long named Mr.Helmet probably had a story best served another day. She wasn't completely ready to spy a octopi latching to the helmet but apparently took it like a champion by not staring. Norh had to be a story for another day since Homura had much to say thereafter. The matter of bringing in and locking up strangers needed answers, apparently. Unki made a direct line for the kitchen's exit.
Unki almost addressed Gio the same way with the same stiff, awkward demeanor but she changed her approach and actually listened to what he had to say. It was a painless encounter that ended with her staring at the back of his head across the way. The business card was effortlessly slid under her vest. Contacts are good and having the address of a licensed hair dresser is better.
Her return brought about the beginning of what Unki had said about cleaning too. The first task Unki devoted herself to was the art of straightening up furniture to look more decent than it ever could now. "It's no problem," she said to accept his gratitude, "I suppose it's why I'm here. More importantly it's the least I can do for Toso and as of late, you." Chairs had been set askewed from their tables be they right-side up, upside down, or set on their side. A number of booths had accumulated a mess. Unki set the chairs back up, easy enough, and ventured behind the bar to find towels and whatever spare trashbin to make use of. She began to tidy up the booths, however, quickly since Trefles had since mentioned the mess about his broken mask. Unki didn't want to be directly blamed for it since the lack of said mask had caused such a fit for him. "Backing up a little bit, you did have a bottle chucked at you. That knocked you out. I hauled you to the kitchen," Enter, the fib. "I was bumped into during the confusion," and return, the truth. "I accidentally dropped you. That might be how , uhm, your mask was smashed" She'd motion her open hand over her face, when she finally mentioned the mask. Unki couldn't particuarlly resist to have a sheepish look on her face to solidify the truth of the story and the guilt which came with it. All the while to her story, Unki had continued to go about collecting strange debris from the tables to a neat pile on the floor for Trefles to sweep. Things were looking a little better by now. Neat chairs made a difference.
A pink glop, hopefully chewing gum, latched itself thoroughly in the napkin she'd made us of. Still wet! The very fact she touched someone's wet, gross blop of candy tipped her mood in another direction. "Uuugh! This is freaking nasty! I'd rather wade in a barrel of fish guts than scoop up chewing gum! Whose bright idea was it to invent stupid chewing gum? Whose bright idea was it to wedge the storm population into one itty-bitty spot? Huh?!" Unki doesn't like chewing gum and hasn't had a taste for it for a very long time. The sight of a chewed piece of gum, not in its proper place, sets her off to some degree of a fiery disgust. The gooey piece she pulled off the table-top of one of the booths was balled into the damaged napkin and pretty much roasted gunk ball in her fingertips. The ruined napkin was viciously tossed into the trash can. It was then that Unki squinted her eyes, disgusted with humankind, and announced that she was "almost done" with her share of the cleaning.
Any and all debris that was safely burnable was just that, burned to her hearts content after endured the messy aftermath of humankind. Her half of what she claimed to clean up was looking about as tidy as it was when she woke up here. Unki disposed the napkins she used and dusted her hands off together. Before she left, something clicked in Unki's head as that one thing she nearly forgotten. "Oh! That's right, here here here!" She would about rush over to Trefles, as if the world depended on it. Unki retrieved the hoverboard that was loaned to her and handed that to him also. "I'm heading out. Thanks for that. I wouldn't have been able to bring all that rice and lotus root without it. Oh, If some shopkeepers come asking about a note. I feel like i added everything up right, so there shouldn't be much to worry about. Yeah, sounds about right. The good people of the drop district fulfilled their civil duty in the village's time of need! " That was perhaps the most dignified thing she said all day, as if she were her other self, assuring the world of its good, unknown deeds. Her little smile was about reminiscent to a cheeky feline grin. She felt better with the seating looking far less disgusting. "Odds are I might find Toso-chan. We shall see! If I find him, I'll send him your way with mostly good news! She waved, stiff however friendly and then finally skipped out of the restaurant as the unspoken Hero of Ika-Shokuji.

"Oh? Well I do suppose it is quite to my betterment that it was an accident. You're honesty is admirable mademoiselle I see you've a heart filled with le amor." Trefles would say as Unki confessed to her crimes. "Tis a shame bon. I do apologize you had to see that side of me bon. I try to take pride in being level headed like moi's patron." As the smell of burning filled the establishment and the sound of bodies thunking outside accompanied by what could only be heavy-handed scolding the 'festivities' would be coming to their close. A brief chuckle from the bartender as Unki expressed her distaste in gum and as things were coming to a close she'd hurriedly approach the bartender.
She would be speaking rather quickly, as though in a rush. When she offered the hover board back he was hesitant and tried to say something. N..non...Mademoiselle k..Ah.." but Unki seemed rather persistant in its return that he'd concede. She would then aptly depart while the mummy headed frenchman stared at the hover board in his hands. After the double doors shut he'd place the board on the bar counter. It was here that he gripped the sides of his head almost in a panic as he began talking to himself like that of an anxiety driven mad man. "What did I do wrong!? Does she not like it!? Twice now I've offered she keep it and both times she's declined! Tres miserable! Is it the design?! Perhaps it was not cute enough?! I see it now! The color scheme is much too plain! Have I alienated the female market!? Do the reverberations cause discomfort in the soles of a woman's delicate feet?! It never bothered moi! I know nothing of marketable design! I have failed you my father!" ~End Scene~

"He's gone and done it bon. Gone absolutely mad." The masked bartender would be leaning over the counter once more in a cold sweat and eyes wildly moving behind a fresh new mask. Before him would lay a blueprint for a device. Several in fact all while the bartender was milling over it all. Recalling what was requested of him. "Can you do it?""Well of course I 'can' bon its just that..."Bloo bloo bloo of course I knew you could. Due remain on stand-by as I may need that head of yours for more projects. Now I really must go, I have to do something as soon as possible.""MOI PATRON PLEASE WAI..." but it was too late. Flash back to reality. Toiling over a bunch of lines and doodles the bartender's hands were shaking. Not often did he dabble in his own drink but for once like the Oni he had in his blood he did so and immediately calmed down. "Bien, make the village fly he says, make something to amplify light he says, make something to cripple genjutsu he says, do this all in a few days if not less he says." Pinching the end of his hair the Bartender would toil and then a flash of inspiration. Perhaps it was the second shot of liquor that did so. But he began to cultivate something that would serve to benefit Arashigakure if not sloppily so. These things he needed to make only one of them particularly needed to last the rest of them would be a means of immediate use and purpose. Eventually, what was once stress began to turn into enjoyment. The root of creation, the joys a challenging task. The thinks the Frenchman attained a euphoric high from resonated throughout has body and translated through his hands. {Created: Apollo's Emblem}
As his idea's continued he was faced with a right proper roadblock. Genjutsu. He knew very little about the subject. After all his knowledge of the Shinobi world was rather small compared to his knowledge of machinations and chakra as a functionality as opposed to the force of life emitted by living things. He's dust off a book about Genjutsu. A technique that tainted the chakra of another with the chakra of the caster to produce hallucinations and the like. Typically cured via purging the foreign chakra in one's body with a release. Placing a finger on his chin...then wouldn't something to counter such a thing only requires that there be a single large wise scale release? There were several other factors to consider of course. Side effects of such a massive widespread Kai device could be particularly problematic when considered from the mind of a ninja...but Trefles lacking in that aspect and time couldn't dabble on intricacies. {Created: Baku Kai Kai [Release Release Bomb] }
Finally came the monster. Making the village fly? Blue print after blue print, thought after thought, nothing would work. A giant crane? No that's stupid. Setting up a large scale Fuuton propelled engine and turbines? There'd be no time! Raising a large scale amount of earth with a seismic alternator to eventually reach the intended height? No, destroying it would cause the whole village to fall which he was rather certain Toso was trying to PREVENT the destruction of the village not to mention a giant pillar of earth was pretty damn obvious....but oh how enchanting it would be to see the world from above...wait...enchanting...could it be...possible...and enchantment...that could cover the whole village? Rapidly tapping pen to paper, ruler to ruler, busting out a map of Arashi and using a compass to mark key points and locations to where in all lines could intersect...yes...he could do it. With the right conduits being placed they could interconnect, the chakra could then funnel through, and then reproduce the seal which would then translate into filling the entire village with that sweet sweet ' magic juice'. Now...to get to work. {Created: Aether Leyline}
__ Kenshin arrived on location at the Ika-Shokuji restaurant. The Arashikage's own business establishment in the village. There would be no love lost if the lightning destroyed the building and managed not to harm any civilians inside for Kenshin was not a fan of the restaurant's food. Food in Kenshin's opinion should be for sustenance only and without excessive ingredients. Grilled chicken or steak with greens some bread and water was Kenshin's ideal dinner meal and they did not even serve it here. He stood outside of the building and directed civilians out of the busy restaurant in case the lightning may strike it from a distance. Once this was done he would move to a safe distance and install the device. He quickly backed away from it with his superior natural speed in anticipation.

__Aside from the other individuals who resided in the establishment. These two being Nohr'mahl and Homura the duo of bodyguard and Toso's wife would watch Kenshin perform his duties. Homura with arms crossed wondering what her 'husband' was up to and the helmet-headed 'man' rather unenthused. As the sky would glow and a bolt descended upon the device it did what it was expected to do. The lines of chakra spreading through the ground. However, call it the aftermath a stray bolt of lightning flew towards Toso's 'wife.' The captain wouldn't have to react as the lanky man intercepted the bolt with a simple slap of his limbs Homura not even blinking only to sigh as if she was used to these kind of unexpected happenings. "Geeze these squid brained schemes of his just keep getting weirder and weirder." Kenshin was likely apt to leave now but before he could do so the 'wife' used this opportunity for what else but promotion. He'd feel a grip on his shoulder unexpectedly strong for a woman. "Hold the line there mr.officer for you head out to do your important business for my hubby. Allow me to introduce you to one of our new menus."She'd give the Kenshin a to-go menu. Normally Ika-shokuji catered to fine dining and middle class meals but this to-go menu had the title 'paupers promo'. Ika-shokuji after all, after everything, the bloodmoon shenanigans and the chaos of the gate attack was now to a degree what some would call 'in the hole'. The menu was pretty bare bones. The word 'unseasoned' on most everything steak, fish, chicken, etc. Coffee black, tea unsweetened, plain beer. Everything was cheap but none of it would have sounded particularly appetizing unless you were poor trying to save a buck and didn't feel like cooking. From a business perspective, it was an attempt to make the most profit from the most basic of ingredients that were quickly prepared. The Captain would then be left to his devices.
__ Thankfully the civilians were able to defend from the stray bolt of lightning on their own despite Kenshin jumping to attention. Before he could walk too far away he felt a hand on his shoulder. It was rare for anyone to touch the man's pristine uniform to gain his attention. He sharply turned his head and focused his white eyes on her. The police captain was far too focused on his mission to want to be interrupted by such trifles. When the woman handed him a menu he grabbed it and gave it a glance over. He suspected that it might be their usual overly seasoned nauseating food but was surprised at the selections. These were foods that he might be able to stand eating. He stored the to go menu in his coat pocket before bowing his head and quickly leaving without speaking. Kenshin needed to continue his task.

Kameyo was wide-eyed as she walked through Arashigakure. It was a gorgeous place, and she couldn't imagine Gimangakure looking so lively. Eventually, she found an eatery that looked promising - though everything around her did to an extent. She was drawn by the smell of fish, her favorite, and found a wide variety of food being offered here. She had no idea what to do with herself. "I don't know what to try first," she admitted.
Gimangakure had variety since it was a center for travelers all over the world, but the quality was usually subpar. This stuff? It was home grown, all from Arashigakure for the most part, and made with love. She was drooling just looking at what they had. "What are you hungry for?"

tab The dialect was indeed a bit hard to understand and it was unsettling/impressive how the people or Arashigakure could meld into each other's bodies like that. Again, coming from a mono-Bloodline culture these were the sorts of assumption Taketori held. Passing into the Village having learned the names of... Thundering Red and White Lightening (or was it more accurately THUNDERING RED! and WHITE LIGHTENING!), he followed after Kameyo. A brief moment of confusion hit him when he realized that not everyone, in fact likely the vast majority, of the denizens of this village were not sentai-clad gymnasts who traversed via backflips. Sometimes the truth was just too mundane. He'd have liked to see food being served by a backflipping waiter or waitress, admittedly.
The 6'9" tribally clothed man entering into Ika-Shokuji, he let the various smells waft through his nasal passage. The aroma was delightful. "Ika-Shokuji. The specialty must be squid then." Given his skyward journey to arrive, he pondered how they farmed or imported the squid. The smells he was smelling went beyond just squid as well though."Or perhaps other dishes. Let us task the host here then with all the dishes they consider specialty. Should it be overwhelming in quantity let us invite locals to partake."
• Chakra cost for complex and spiritual bukijutsu techniques reduced by five. [Shigure Souen] •Once every three posts, the user is able to defend against an offensive activation without utilizing an activation. This skill requires no chakra or activation. [Shigure Souen] •The user will practice extending themselves into the atmosphere, in a sense. After much dedication, the user develops the ability to sense hostile intent within the topic they are in. Those of Sensory Class are able to detect the specific source and the extent of the hostility. [Shigure Souen]
• The user's tireless training with the Shield as a part of their everyday combat kit has taught them to effortlessly direct the force of an opponent's strike so that any of their added descriptive strength being used when interacting with a shield is nullified. [Arcane Knight] • The user has mastered their chakra during combat. This focus and chakra control allows the user to deflect ninjutsu with complex formless or shield techniques equal to the rank of the ninjutsu. [Arcane Knight] • All shield defenses of the user are considered one rank higher when interacting with simple offensive techniques. [Arcane Knight]
• The user practices their art by moving across a shifting surface--such as sand or mud--with their armor. Following the completion of this training, the user becomes significantly harder to topple while armored; all incoming techniques that would move the user are treated as one rank lower in strength when determining of how far the user is moved, and the user can no longer be toppled by techniques lower in rank than their armor. [Kishitou Yoroi] • The user studies and acquaints themselves with the many different types of defensive armaments, from shields to armor to defensive items like the forehead protectors that Shinobi Villages use. In the process, they become able to apply any armor techniques to protective armaments and vice-versa. [Kishitou Yoroi] • For interacting with physical techniques, light armor is treated as granting C-Rank defense, medium armor B-Rank defense, and heavy armor A-Rank defense. [Kishitou Yoroi] • While wearing armor, the user is capable of using all Taijutsu techniques they know as normal. However, any techniques involving or related to the Soft Physical Formless Style have their effects reduced by one rank if the user is wearing medium armor or two ranks if the user is wearing heavy armor. [Kishitou Yoroi]
• This training focuses on using movement when you attack, carrying that much more force. After this skill is trained, any attack that follows a dodge is treated as a counterattack, and the user's total bonus to reflex can instead be attributed to the strength of the attack, up to your rank of soft or hard physical formless training (E = slight, D = Mild etc.) Particularly useful on some skills in this style, but applicable to any taijutsu or even bukijutsu attack that follows directly after a dodge within reason. [Be Water My Friends] • So far the dodging has been mostly about steps and alrge movements, but the ocean can be subtle, just as it can be conspicuous. With this, you are capable of better timing your movements while also narrowing the range of motion necessary. Now instead of a step, you can achieve similarly jarring dodges with a simple duck, bob or weave, which puts you in a better position to respond to attacks in some situations, against certain types of fighters. It got its name because the sweat of an opponent should still be able to hit you from how close you are to the attack. [Be Water My Friends] • After this training, when an opponent launches an attack that you can dodge successfully, you can instead strike out at their limbs with one of your own. This transforms the attack into a complex one if simple, or spiritual if complex when interacting with their attack to give you the upperhand. [Be Water My Friends]
• The Soft Physical Formless Style’s strength is increased by one rank if used for movement, up to the maximum trained Stage of this style. [Kyuuten no Kumori]
• After-images repeat the user’s actions exactly as they occurred without variation unless otherwise specified. Techniques that are not Taijutsu or Bukijutsu are not usable with After-images, though the motions will still be mimicked. [Kyouzou] • Unless otherwise specified, the techniques in this Style do not have an inherent strength above E-Rank. It is intended to be used in conjunction with other Styles and the Formless Styles. If used as such, the stamina costs for Complex techniques in this Style are halved, unless otherwise specified. [Kyouzou] • If used in conjunction with another Taijutsu or Bukijutsu technique, the techniques of this Style do not consume an activation, unless otherwise specified. [Kyouzou] • Attacks by after-images do not affect the user. [Kyouzou]
•The user takes a knife, whittling away at an arrow to create weaknesses in it's design. Doing so allows the user to create shrapnel arrows. These arrows cost nothing additional during a technique to be used with them however upon contact they explode and send wooden and metal shrapnel into anything within five feet of it's location. This technique may be used outside of combat to create arrows for later use. Converts arrows at a 1 to 1 ratio. [Kyoukan Ya] • The user's lengthy use of the bow has taught them to seamlessly fire an additional arrow for each arrow they would fire normally for a technique so long as they have the reserves to do so. [Kyoukan Ya]
• A well trained individual is usually faster than an untrained individual, and the practitioners of the Iron Fist understand this fact more than anyone. However, those of the Iron fist not only accomplish this boost of speed….they also do it in armor! The user is now unaffected by the additional weight of armor (to a logical limit), and when the user is out of armor, their body and technique speed is greatly increased at the loss of the protection. They are much more adept at bursting into action, going from standing to 100% in single moments. Conversely, the user can now perform these techniques without needing armor. Must relearn every technique at half the learning cost to perform techniques without armor to learn the different distances and timing of the techniques. Overrides restriction. [King of the Iron Fist]
