Old Wounds, Older Faces [Gobi Debriefing Thread]

Nyen:
What the heck was that!?" Nyen would shout to R'tari, seeing the giant cloud of mist rising in the distance. She would also notice the five flailing limbs of...whatever it was. No.....it couldn't be. There's no way... nononoNONONO"NONONO!" Before realising she was speaking out loud Nyen would jump to the rail of the ship and curl up behind it, shielding herself from the sight of it. "Is that...a Biju? I've only ever heard of them. never seen them. Why here? Why now?" As if this trip wasn't stressful enough. Nyen would look at R'tari with her silver eyes, tears forming. She wasn't ready for this. not at all. All she wanted was to jump off of this damn boat and swim all the way back home!

No, they just needed to get to shore and get the hell away from it. To run as fast as theycould in the opposite direction. She then realised both Fang and Armenezra were going to see her crying if she continued. Wiping her eyes, she lowered her face, hoping with all her might that R'tari would prove her wrong. tell her it was just some freak weather or maybe they were just seeing the result of the battle they were headed towards but...she'd eat her own shoe if it wasn't. She had heard enough about the biju to know what she saw.

While Armen say there criticizing his rhyming capabilities he would notice a shift in the atmosphere. His teammates seemed to be very on edge. Nyen would mention the word Biju in fear as R'tari appeared shocked and completely off guard. Armen would rise to his feet to notice in the distance five massive tentacles waving from a distance. What should have been a mountain was in fact a massive creature, with extraordinary power. Armen couldn't properly gauge its power but if it can be seen through the steam its producing from this distance, there was no doubt that this was in deed top game.  Armen would walk closer to the two as he felt almost thrown to its power. It was as if it came out just for him, but how in the world would little Armen be able to catch it. Armen used everything in his power to avoid his curiosity and remain on the boat. He would make note of the time and location that he first witnessed the creature from the distance. He would also note the estimated distance that the creature mustve been from the boat. Armen didnt really know what this discovery meant for him and the passengers on this boat, but everyone seemed relieved that the creature didnt seem to know where they were. All Armen had to share with the team, knowing very little to nothing about a bijuu is, "Mane i want dat. I mus hav dat." Armen would reach out his hands towards it as the group sail further away from it. Could it be fate?

Armen would notice Himiko in her priestess robe. Her appearance was very different, something Armen hadn't seen in her many months of training along side her. He's just soo use to her tom boy appearance that seeing her in something that gives off a gentle and nurturing look was a delightful change for him. The look that Armen would give her, if he could only put in words would probably be " I got mad love for you hommie". This wasn't saying that Armen had a crush or that he wanted her in any informal way, but it definitely meant that in Armen's mind there bond was growing stronger.  Zaki would whine about not being able to poke more fun at Armen's misforutne, and that he knows better than to be coming up in her early like this , and how he looks good  and finally the arm less joke. Oh yea, this meant everything is going back to normal. Armen would give himiko a sinister grin before getting only a tad bit closer. " gah damn gurl, ya told me u'd be trainin. But wat ya trainin dat mouth?" He would tug lightly on her robe around the stomach area before letting out a little laugh. " U gotten heavier! U forgot to jog or sumtin?". He would laugh at his own joke when Decimus would arrive. " Yo deci, mah bad ive been M.I.A bruh. I dunno if ya hurd wat happened wit me, but dat kinda tang puts a brutha on his back fo a while. " Armen would stare at himiko, knowing that she's getting better at understanding them, but for the hell of simplicity and getting things to move along faster, Armen would communicate in a cool way that he uses with his family members on hunting grounds. Armen would remain silent and signal for both of them to do the same. It wasn't long before Himiko and Decimus would hear: Armenezra invites you to join their party. If they choose to accept  Armen would be able to communicate with them in a special way so long as everyone remains silent.

Armenezra to Himiko:

Ahh man its been a while since ive had to use this technique. My family and I utilize this form of communication everytime we go hunting. hahaha, Its our way of making sure we all stay on plan without alerting animals of our positioning and also our way of looking out for each other.  So yea... Its no surprise to you all that things have been rough for me lately. Id be lying if i didnt say that it really got to me. It changed who i am inside and although im finding myself again, i dont think ill ever be the same. I feel a different monster inside of me, and im not quiet sure what it is or if im even making sense in that regard. It all happened a few weeks ago, I believe i was on my way to meet you guys when a messenger rat tells me that ive been chosen to serve as back up for a retrieval team that never came back. Well i.... you know..*he laughs outside of his head without making sound* didnt want to go. MAN I REALLLY didnt want to go. But we somehow signed up for this mess didnt we decimus? So we have to take what it comes with. So i went, i met r'tari, Nyen, some dude named fang and we took sail. I left you guys a message Decimus, guess you guys never got it. We sailed for the better part of the day and at night something crazy happened. I was testing my hand with rythms like you do Dez and suddenly a freaking enormous surge of power overcame us. I look out along with the other reinforcements, and what i saw i cant even put into words. It was the imbodiment of power. It was terrifying but addicting at the same time. What i saw was the Gobi. A bijuu something that was said to be a myth, guys i saw it! And i know where it is, but none of us are nearly strong enough.  *Armen would smile nervously at what he is about to say next.

Fortunately we got away from the thing, it hadn't noticed us, but when we got to shore we made quick pace to where we perceived that the squad before us would be. I was assigned to the caves where i met Calesto and Liara fighting against two near jonin. Getting their asses kicked i might add. I came in and helped neutralize the foes. I knew my plan would work, i believed in my plan, so i went in to grab something, and before i can get back to safety, Liara's explosion caught my arms. Ive been armless since. Thank goodness i usually keep interesting things that i find as well as the arms i use to have. I gave them all to some kid prodigy and there we go. *moves around his new arms* Life is different now, im not sure if its good or bad.

But i got you both something of course.  Souvenirs from the battle and just some things that i made for you. * Armen would re-materialize  Guantlets and hand them to Decimus, and then the Naginata to Himiko* I was going to give Dez the swords but i thought the guantlets would be better, The chains on the guantlet are bladed and can extend far, also if im not mistaken i believe that they can also reattach itself. Itll be perfect for us when we use tag team moves, you can throw me one. That blade, i havent really studied yet, i wonder what capability interface tells me.*Armen would study the naginata while pointing at the other things Armen laid out* Also those are your costumes for the chuunin exams. We're dressing up as such and by time we get to the exams i hope to be able to throw some seals on them for additional power.  *The naginata and the guantlets were ethced. Armen would stop studying the Naginata and build three chaos control seals on to his forehead and pay the price for them. Afterword he would ask himiko something*

Yo lets get out of here! enough of your duties lets go train for the exams, i can use some of your fire element for my new arms. I can absorb fire now guys.
