After getting the Arashikage's approval, Kaito gathered the two shinobi who could blend into a kemono shinzo exclusive bar to find their ring leader: Eirene and Obei.
"We've got reason to believe the oni - kemono - human relations in Arashigakure haven't improved at all; instead, there's a gang of kemono shinzo citizens who are putting political figures who oppose their goals away in prison by making them unwilling fall guys for APD officers who get caught acting above the law.
"We know the ring leader, someone going by "O" on the streets, works with the same group of three kemono shinzo who are performing the kidnappings, but we need you to get ahold of the ring leader. You're going to infiltrate their bar and use whatever methods you must to figure out the leader. Get in their good graces, then get the information about the kidnapping. Report back immediately so we can prevent it."
Details: You're going undercover. Infiltrate the kemono shinzo bar and ask around until you get the ring leader. Get on their good side to get the information about the next kidnapping so they can be caught once and for all.
Being selected due to retaining a slightly more human appearance than others whom she was associated with clan wise. She bounced around and made rhythmic sounds with her mouth while, dancing and spinning about with her tail making a whooshing sound, her mind thinking about the mission which contained less than stellar truths about the village, our little shark was a little sad and frustrated as a result. She wondered if she was cut our for this, being small, cute, friendly and extremely naive looking probably didn’t make her the prime candidate to get a villain to talk, how would she play this out? Would she have too rely on her more repressed self to do this? She didn’t know but had brought the capsules that would unlocked that half of herself just in case, each of them looking like little red wrapped candies….. just could she trust herself to stay the coarse. ”I wonder when’s my partner going to be here, maybe they could fit the image and also be a smooth talker….. I wonder if they are a Kemono…… will we get along? I hope sososo…yessum!” She said our loud to herself, speaking rapidly and ceasing her rotations, straightening to her full yet meagre height in hopes she could spot someone who was obviously heading to the rendezvous point she was circling, not unlike a shark.

Obei would have been more readily up for spending her day with Saki and Amaya, it would come to her that her assistance would be required for a mission of the upmost importance. She'd question why it would be up to the worst speaking member of Arashi to handle a more charismatic matter but Obei had to at least try. The days had been pretty barren without Selina around, and she really did miss the star's presence around the village. So maybe this would be a good chance to get her mind off of things for a while. The towering seven foot Oni would make her way towards the designated meeting spot with her partner. But when she had arrived, it was probably the last thing she had expected: a four foot tall girl with a shark tail and a rather meek looking personality. Definitely not somebody that screamed "charismatic". She drew closer silently while her pale red eyes would stare at the smaller woman until she would come to a stop in front of her. Obei then crouched down and had that eternal frown plastered on her face. "Is small shark Obei's partner?" she asked in a very monotone, deep voice.

Eirene stopped circling when she saw a pale Oni lady who dwarfed the little shark more than most other people, wowzers she was huge is so many more ways than Eirene it was hard not to gawk and not like she’d reframe from doing so. The one she stared at without reservation seemed to approach as she clutched her hands to her chest and gave a momentary despairing look, for what reasons people might only guess. It took until the massive and snow coloured Oni was basically right ontop of her before her brain chose to make the connection that this might be her partner, mere seconds before Obei crouched down to become almost eye level with Eirene and confirmed this fact. Frown met full frontal grin, pale red stare meeting wide, dazzling ocean blue shimmering gaze as our little shark opened her gnashers with enthusiasm and nodded fast. ”Yes Shmall shark is big Obei’s partner! My name is Eirene, I love your sweater it really suits you! glad I get to meet and work alongside you!!!” She declared with projected enthusiasm in both her voice and actions as she stepped forward and reached her small, rough feel hands to grasp and shake one of Obeis own, with rapid fervent force for a few swift shakes before releasing and stepping back.
After performing a full revolution in the form of a small rotating jump, she would do a small combination of shuffling dance steps, swinging her hands as she did so and finishing off in with playful “not gang signs” formed in either of her hands which were crossed over her chest, and giving a good imitation of looking half serious expression as she did so. Breaking out into her more neutral expression and finally using a hand to indicate toward herself, she would express ”Now Lil-shark knows this is a serious mission, she’s just a bit nervous and upset due to all the bad goings ons, it’s bad and sad vibes you know? So I might seem a bit silly and animate and do t seem too bright, which actually makes me hard to be suspicious of, but I’m actually super perceptive with and good at talking to people… just it’s hard to be taken seriously, which is so annoying butttttt that’s ok….” She paused and shuffled on her feet, prodding two fingers together with a bit of uncertainty and looked off to the side, making a difficult face. Finally continued with a tone that define she expected to be disbelieved and had likely gone through this a lot with the following claims. ”I am also a lot stronger than I might look.. and with bad people who step on others and stuff I can be rather mean and scary if I need too be… I am a predator after all so I’m not squeamish to do what it takes, please, pleaseeee don’t think I’ll hold you back!” Her hands finished balled at her sides after pointing at her teeth with the predator remark, her tone both serious and hopeful at the end as she gave a tight mouth determined and serious look, with brows furrowed and the expression quivering almost like it was hard for her to give a serious determined expression and not come off as a child while doing so.

The bar looked run-down on the outside, but it had an incredibly welcoming scent spilling out if it and any kemono shinzo with enhanced eyes could see through the obscured windows to see that the bar was alive and well with fellow kemonos. Everyone was festive for their own individual reasons. The noise was a dull loud, something not unpleasant to even the most sensitive of kemonos.
The two undercover shinobi would find it easy enough to enter the bar if they just opened the door - there was no bouncer.
At the bar itself was a bartender - a deer kemono shinzo - who was cleaning a glass. Only one person was seated at one of the four barstools, a moth kemono. The building was just a hole-in-the-wall, so it had four tables that could seat five kemonos per. The table closest to the door had two bird kemonos chatting all lovey-dovey. The table on the other side of that had no one. The two back tables were side-by-side; one was seated with two dog kemonos and one cat kemono, and the other sat two bunny kemonos.
Other aspects of note would be a worn brown door to the left of the room (opposite the bar) and a black door behind the bar itself. Finally, if either agent sat at the bar, they would be able to notice a latch on the floor near where the bartender stood.

Even if she was towering over the smaller woman, Obei’s unmoving, sullen looking crimson eyes would study her partner’s form. The pale skinned oni said nothing while Eirene would go on about introducing herself. She leaned back a little in surprise as she offered the taller woman a hand for her to shake. Obei would simple reach forward with her gauntlet worn hands and shake up and down. Eirene might feel the bitter cold metal against her warmer skin. "Thank you, Ey-Rin-Eh." She put simply while awkwardly trying to find something of hers that she liked to comment on. Obei wasn’t the best at conversations, especially more so due to her inexperience with the common tongue of the humans here. She was more fluent in her own kin’s tongue. After a moment or so of searching, she would settle on the obvious feature for the girl. "Obei like Ey-Rin-Eh’s tail. It blue. Very blue." She hummed to herself. The smaller of the two would be as lively as Saki and Amaya with how much they tended to be prone to rocketing off at top speeds at a moment’s notice. A quality that Obei found rather hard considering her size and general anxieties. But it was what it was, the pale white freak of nature letting out a satisfied huff.
Eirene, despite her smiling and cheerful appearance, claimed to be nervous about the upcoming mission as Obei raised a single eyebrow. It was strange considering that she looked like she was waiting for a field trip at school to leave the school if more than anything. But at least Obei could meet her halfway at the front of being taken seriously. People tended to dismiss her given her mannerisms and ways, but the small shark likely had it worse. Very worse. It was hard to be taken so seriously for critical village matters when you looked like one of the academy students running around. "Ey-Rin-Eh is fine. Obei not know why Obei chosen for this. Oni not Kemono. Is confusing. Very confusing." She pursed her lips together and would listen to the more talkative of the two for a little bit again before speaking. "Obei not think that. If Ey-Rin-Eh is village ninja then Obei not think is weak." She said before leading the two of them towards the tavern in question.
It didn’t take long at all, with Obei opening the door for the both of them as they stepped into the kimono operated bar. There was a little bit going on as of present, with the bartender being a deer kemono. Obei had found the clan somewhat fascinating as she hadn’t really heard of people with such animalistic features before. Her eyes moved over towards the shark beside her while unable to help but feel as if they were the odd folk out of here, which was technically true. The only real disguise either of them had were the horn sticking out of her head and Eirene’s tail and teeth. Not really the kind that might be able to pass fully as Kemono. It was kind of offensive, in a sort of ironic way. The oni’s eyes shot towards the pair of bird kemonos over near the corner, off in their own world. A small twinge of regret would strike her heart as the Oni couldn’t help but remember the memories of Selina and her. How she wanted to do things that they could experience together. It was a strange feeling that her heart had done when the human was near, one which she hadn’t experienced with anyone else. Maybe it was just some kind of illness? Brought by beautiful humans with pink hair and sang well?
She approached the bar and would sit down, looking to the bartender with her usual stoic glance. "Obei take strongest thing you have." she said. While pretty parched from the walk over here, she was also fairly interested in what kind of alcohol that Kemonos could make. Eirene could do the talking. She was the more talkative out of both of them.

Eirene rose her tail and brought it round are far as it went, giving it a small flourishing hug and giving an appreciative word of thanks. ”Thank you so much! It’s a little damaged but gets me by!” She chimed in, before continuing with what she has been saying, nodding along when Obei mentioned the not being a kemono part and it being confusing. It was true neither of them fit the bill in the species department, though Eirene could easily claim to be a Kemono that was almost perfect at adopting a human form if the matter were to come up. Still she was trying to use what information and details the had to potentially formulate a plan, they had to find one guy in a bar and get him to reveal himself enough that they could press him for information, though how could they make it happen. Her thoughts distracted by the last thing Obei said before they set off, acknowledging her as a ninja and as such not perceiving her as weak, it made her chest flutter and brought an unrestrainable, near bashful grin and muttered a quiet thanks as she swayed in place.
It was relieving to have someone who didn’t underestimate or at least look down on her due to appearance and general attitude. So far she’d somehow made a good impression and as such hoped to keep it up, not bothered by the segmented manner of how Obei said her name. During their walk Eirene would express a couple of her intentions and thoughts with this mission, wanting to make sure Obei had an idea of what she would be up to. ”So to make this go a little smoother, I’m going to change my appearance slightly as unless…. he’s like a.. lolicon I bet my appearance will only get in the way. Also if I happen to clearly lie please just play along, if you aren’t good at improvising tho, then don’t try pleas.” She began in a slightly less energetic and thoughtful voice, her brows furrowed as her little cogs of though spun, besides the small shudder when she made the Lolicon comment. The person they were looking for was orchestrating the kidnapping of people, Eirene looked way to sweet and young to likely get in the good graces of and find information from a person like this, hence her intention on changing appearances. The lying part was a given but she wanted to clarify to make sure Obei understood that she was only doing so due to the mission, she wasn’t a liar, though would likely have to be one to get someone talking. ”We should, we should also, like keep our headbands concealed, we are trying to get a criminal to like us… some anti APD attitude or seemingly criminal attitude would probably help too Obei-Chan!” She added hurriedly as the realization struck her, the little shark pulling her already obscured headband off of her shorts waist and put it in an internal pocket.
Before they reached the bar Eirene would bid Obei to stop, stretch her arms in the air and shook them after, then each leg, limbering up before she placed her hands together and spoke the name of the transformation technique, then was enveloped in smoke. The resulting transformation making herself look like a taller(gained a foot of height) and more mature equivalent of herself, the hair was longer though, specifically her twin tail, the shape around her eyes was a little less bulbous and cute, actually granting her the privilege of giving a convincing serious or hard look. This transformation also brought her normally unnoticeable and hidden gills into sight, each side on her neck a little above the collar bone, her shark hat had disappeared and her body had more of that “vavoom” she considered herself to be lacking, the hand behind her head and other on her thrust out hip when she came into view making this clear. Strangely enough this turned her normally adorable look into a look that was still cute, though made her look what would be seen as a lot more cool and gave her an almost dangerous and wild external look, that’s likely what people would suspect if they judged her on appearance anyway. ”I think this will do well, ya’know?” She said with a coy yet confident tone, carrying a different air and attitude in just that sentence, giving a sidelong and half interested, half expecting to be agreed that carried a “tough Gal” vibe to it that her shark features really fit, her voice also seemed to have been slightly modified to fit this height and character she was trying to portray, is was all surprisingly convincing.
Immediately after the expectant almost threatening look her features would soften up and she would grin, face going red a little and speaking with her proper voice and manner ”At least I think it will, eheheheh!” She exclaimed with a bit of a bashful, yet confident air as she found her skilled acting to be immensely embarrassing, not being herself with people who had an idea what she was like was a weird concept to her. Her partner was quieter and as such Eirene had already realized that she was the main vocal cords in this operation, which also meant she had to be at her most clever….. the dumb shark began to sweat with said realization. She went quiet for a few seconds and just before entering the bar she suddenly seemed to have an idea and spoke, in a rapid and almost odd manner, using her most varied jutsu in a weird and technical way as always. ”Hey listen, listen, check this out, shark and Oni side by side, checkin out a bar, need to be sneaky, wrapped up in a tight invisible orb, the touch of sound on its border, changes words as they leave and become mundane to the prying ears of others. So for the next little while, nobody but who we want to speak too will hear the truth version what we say, so now others won’t be aware of exactly what we are doing, that is until the next chapter of this little story, so listen out for when little shark starts the next chapter header.” As she spoke in this strange and sped up way, a rhythmic manner to the way she spoke, these words said with absolute confidence as Obei would perceive for an instant, the air about they warp as a bubble grew around each of them, vanishing immediately after(The stage is set.).
What she did here was quite literal as the story she threw into creation would literally convert all inflections and sounds of the pairs voices into a more general humdrum, creating basic conversations that the people themselves minds would generate unless they caught on and used a Kai. This would also apply to who they spoke to, the bubble reaching out to them invisibly for the duration of their interaction, all in all it would only help a little but if this “O” fellow caught on and broke himself from the effect, Eirene would be able to tell through her limited sensory abilities. It was of coarse unlikely such an aspect would catch a guy who had a secretive street name and was generally clever, this more just helped them keep what they were doing localized to who they spoke with for the next little while…. but if someone became suspicious and started paying attention to them, even secretively, Eirene would likely pick up on this, as noticing such signs was actually her intended main tactic to begin with. Now door opening Eirene quickly said ”Scene start!” Shifting back to her tough/bad girl persona, eyes loosing most of their softness and a look of disgruntled boredom, with some seeming pent up annoyance in the background and she really seemed like a different person with the air she gave off. Hands in pockets she strode up to the bar, sitting at the furthest concerned stool of the bar, off to Obei side as she tapped the bar top with the tip her fingernails expectantly and glaring at the deer, her pupils dilating a little and looked him over as if sizing up a meal, she was actually looking for signs he was armed or anything suspicious, though she would rather not doubt the bartender.
”Yo deer dude, a Bloodied Shark trail(aquatic predator alcoholic drink), make it a double, it’s been a shitty day.” She demanded of him while leaning and elbow on the bar and cradling her chin on in that hand, only separating her face from it to giving a sweeping look at the other people in the bar, pausing on any who met her gaze and shifting into a glare to make them look away, having no doubt a harder masterminded, criminal would be more likely to find her less intimidating. She then looked to her large and stoic partner, and back to leaning into her hand, allowing the moth and bartenders be privy to what she was saying, subtlety keeping an eye on them ”Going to the strong stuff huh? Glad we came here after the s**t we’ve had to put up with, despite the risk… though not like they know about this place. But seriously us getting questioned about that O guy just cause we had heard of and mentioned his name, like damn nosy coppers. ‘S a good thing the officer believed that crap you said about us only having heard it in passing, really saved my a** there, seems that the fuzz have begun to catch on to his work, never gonna get a piece of that action…..” Her eyes darting between Obei, the bartender and the Mothman was done in a way that after her clearly thug like attitude, came off as looking for an excuse to cause trouble, that it was very likely if they seemed to be paying attention she might try to start something, not that she was looking for subtle reactions to her dropping of the street name or her implied want to find this fellow in a way that suggested she was far from a nark. Eirene wanted this localized because of the fact she could only keep an eye on a couple of people at once, sure if one of these two were him they might give a subtle hint that could only add suspicion but not proof. However if this man was such a villain, the idea that a Kemono and Oni who knew of him in some way, who seemed to have an idea this was one of the places he might be around and also chose to and keep quiet about it might perk his interest, making him approach them. If on the other hand the Mothman for example were to try to leave, Eirene had a backup idea of how to quickly and safely interrogate him without harm or violence, though she might have to be a bit unpleasant to keep in character. If she had said this and everyone could understand, she wouldn’t be able to watch them all for signs and then if on the event this prompted multiple people to get uncomfortable or chose to leave, doings subtle and non stressful interrogation would become difficult, Eirene would rather not cause people undue stress if she could help it.

Her speaking before entry was initiating an improv like introduces room to a scene/game with an added rule to it, then what she and Obei say from that point are essentially the performance, especially as Eirene is acting. Sorry I use this jutsu obscenely.
Transformation Technique [ Henge no Jutsu ] | Rank E The user forms a hand sign, changing their physical appearance in the blink of an eye. Using this technique the user is able to transform into smaller objects or persons up to their own relative size. This allows the user to guise themselves in plain sight or masquerade as another person entirely. Alternatively, the user may cast this on inanimate objects within eyesight. This technique remains active for three posts before it must be repaid
The Stage is Set [ Sutēji ga Settei ] | Rank X | Cost: Chakra The cornerstone to set the ideal scene for the performer, this ability changes the entire thread it is used in, as prevents any other jutsu at the rank this was used at below from altering the thread once it has been laid. Similar to a keystone, this ability takes three effects of the user's choice to allow to the story. This could mean something like creating a swamp and then having that swamp has sticky properties to those that travel through it, requiring chakra paid to free oneself, whatever is desired. While being used this way, these effects may be korabo'd into the user's performance korabo for free, creating a three-way korabo between the jutsu. The limitations of this jutsu are listed below: • This jutsu must follow a storybook progression. Unlike a true keystone, this ability cannot have all of its effects active at one time. Instead, they must follow the progression order of a beginning, middle, and an end. When transferring to the next part of the story the previous part loses its power but can remain after, as an aesthetic effect if desired. Meaning once you reached the next part of your story, the swamp would lose its sticky power but could remain behind as a means to set the ‘scene’ without breaking the flow of the reading. Each separate effect cannot last more than [3] posts. • Storybook created items lack elemental properties that the performer does not possess when they interact with real-world items and beings. For instance, writing that a fireball falls from the sky will only deal blunt force trauma as opposed to burning, unless the performer possesses the fire element. Ninjutsu users may apply their enhanced element effects to these storybook creations as well.
• Much the same as other custom effects, no storybook created effect may be written so that it is a direct auto-hit OR write the death of a character that isn’t initially part of the story. As in, you could not say: write that that their RPC starts out poisoned, but instead write they are traveling through a poisoned cloud.
• Similar to other song jutsu, performers may utilize either your squad, or the assistance of other class performers, or even yourself, this ability may have its current effect duration increased by one post each time that performance is written in their post. Doing so costs an activation (or all activations in the case of a squadron) but no chakra, and can only a maximum of one activation may be spent this way at a time. Performance assistance from multiple sources does provide more than a single post increase but does improve your chances for upkeep this effect uninterrupted.
• Kai may be used to free oneself from a storybook effect but does not end the use of the story jutsu itself. This freedom counts as immunity from all story effects for up to one post after the kai isu sed. After that, if the performance has been upkept, they are subject to its effects once more.

The bartender raised an eyebrow at the Oni, but he could understand 'strongest thing you have' pretty well. He leaned underneath the bar and pulled a pretty nondescript leather pouch. He poured the pink liquid out into a pretty robust glass and gently put it in front of her. "That's an Oni brew, from down south." He couldn't specify the tribe, but he hoped she would appreciate something she could actually get drunk off of. It was a heavy liquid with a fruity note.
To Eirene, he smiled. "This is a safe space. Police hate us for being different." He let his gaze flutter to the Oni with understanding in his gaze. It seemed, to the Kemono Shinzo, Oni were welcome compatriots. They were frequently subjected to the same mistreatment from ignorant folks. "You are in good company." He made the drink Eirene requested, his arms working smoothly to produce the picture-perfect beverage.
He returned to cleaning some glasses, not even turning his head when the door in the back of the room opened and a small woman with octopus tentacles spilling out of her oversized jacket appeared. Her head immediately turned to the two shinobi at the bar and she gestured to the door behind her, making another hand signal of ambiguous meaning. The bartender didn't lift his head from his actions. "She wants you inside her office," he stated simply, his tone and expression unreadable.

Obei looked down at the little one's point of showing their headbands in such a place and mulled the idea over. The pink fabric attached to her right forearm would rest undisturbed before her. A part of her hesitated against taking it off, the memories of that fabled singer who had given it to her after they had both ran into one another. A famed war criminal and an idol, bound together by fate. She would watch the bartender while he bent down behind the bar to collect something from a leather pouch and produce it for the towering oni. She carefully held the glass in her hands and took a slow, steady drink from the glass. The stench wafted from the liquid into her nostrils. Fruity. Very fruity. Obei's mouth watered at the sip, wishing she could spend more time simply downing her worries while entertaining the shark girl's desire for companionship. Speaking of which, the vertically challenged shark did what she did best and talked her little head off while the deer behind the bar would only nod and give them little info to work off of. They shared a knowing glance, Obei all too familiar with how the Kemono were treated. People tended to grow spiteful of what they didn't know, and both people were often at such ends. She feared for the tribes near Zaishin, though had very little contact with them.
Just as the two were enjoying their drinks, a Kemono with octopi tentacles spilling from her clothes (there were aquatic Kemono?) would enter from a door leading to am unknown room. She set her sights on the two newcomers and motion to them. Obei arched an eyebrow at her but the bartender would translate for the two of them. Not the best sort of introduction. She looked over at Eirine and let out a conflicted huff. "We go? Obei think Kemono not hostile yet. Maybe can talk things through. It tense. Very tense " she whispered to the smaller shark, finishing off her glass of sake.

Additionally, you may convert Suiton jutsu into Saketon jutsu by paying 10 additional chakra per rank of the technique you with to convert. > Coldblooded: Obei's saketon brew takes the form of Kakigōri, a frozen ice treat that has her clan's sake chilled inside. When using her saketon techniques, the ice summoned from this can lie dormant on the ground after use, able to be used for her hyoton clan techniques. > Big Chill: Fuuton and Suiton techniques can be empowered to apply half a dose of frostbite per rank as if they were Hyouton techniques when they hit, lowering their temperatures such that they leave behind ice and snow in their wake. This increases their cost by 10 per rank when used. > Oni Passive: Being originally from mountain and volcano environments, the Oni have grown into a tough and resilient people with hides strong enough to brush off jagged rocks and stave off the heat radiated by magma. Note: This does not mean you are lava proof. Hot temperatures just do not bother you.

With an expression that was both a leery squint and giving a frown to go with it, though it seemed based on her response the frown established a form of displeased but understanding agreement. ”I hear you… good thing we got places like here though, little bit of privacy from the easily frightened humans.” She responded with clear displeasure, appearing to likely be brought on by her own experiences, the cranky looking shark lifting its head from her hand as she straightened. In reality Eirene had a small bit of understanding of the Kemono’s sentiment, though she would rather not admit it she had found the police and powers that be weren’t entirely understanding of her position and differences, her actual arrival in the village related to her being apprehended for defending her naive self. So she was able to empathize quiet easily even if there was a great amount of internal resistance to the idea the police specifically hated them, little shark preferring to put her faith into people and give the benefit of the doubt, regardless of differences. Eirene also could admit she had the advantage of being incredibly social and that people were automatically more gentle to her as a direct result of her petite appearance, she didn’t run into many day to day problems besides being observed more than she might like when doing day to day activities.
When the drink arrived Eirene would simply nod at the bartender and reduced her semi-glowering squint while focusing on the beverage. Placing the tips of her fingers around the rim of the glass with care, lifting it up like this and taking a whiff of its unique aroma before drinking, the sharp scent of the ingredients stimulating her sharker side as she did so with a grimace. The aspect of not smiling and giving genuine thanks for the drink was actually physically difficult for her, though she hid it well and after throwing down a few coins with her spare hand, took the shot with the other immediately after, slamming the glass down on the countertop. The bite and taste of the drink was a profound combination of liquor and flakes of dried blood, her body tensing up and her pupils expanding as she got the rush one gets when biting prey in combination with the alcohols kick. Obei had got her own strong drink but as an Oni, she could handle alcohol multitudes better than Eirene who considering her size was not going to be drinking anymore. On a positive note it would appear no one here meant them any harm, this helped her stay internally relaxed despite her posture and demeanour suggesting she was on edge or more so frustrated, likely to do with her earlier “run in.”
She drummed her long nails with rhythmic clacking on the hard bar-top, noting the snow white oni partner quietly enjoying and focusing on the drink in front of her and the surroundings, noticing the Octo-Kemono a couple of seconds before Eirene did. Unfortunately the sharks brains first thoughts to the sight was verbatim I like seafood. Before actually realizing they were offering a sort of invitation, using a beckoning motion toward them, the realization being confirmed by the bartenders own words, maybe the intelligible signal was a message to him? ”Ohhh? Well… let’s go see what this is about i s’pose.” She stated with an upward and sidelong look toward Obei after turning in her seat, setting her sound field to only effect the two of them immediately after. After standing up and stretching her arms high in the air, offering a sharp glance at anyone who looked at her to maintain her “aggressive” persona and only speaking back to Obei’s question quietly after taking a step and knowing no one was capable of hearing the exact words ”Im glad you also feel that way, yeah let’s try talking!” She murmured with a tint of relief in her voice, glad that they were on the same page when it came to the approach, Eirene not sure what Obei would have wanted to do but not assuming like most that the Oni would have gone for force. The two would walk to the side office and enter, Eirene taking a sweeping look at the place before giving the Kemonoctopus a regarding look up and down and then tilting her head back a little a speaking ”You wanna talk to us? What’s up are you the owner or sumthin?” The questioning tone not aggressive persay but forceful and lacking patience or courtesy, much like the roll she was portraying would have done, resisting the impulse to wave and introduce herself.

Active Techs n timers Act 1: acting pretty performance to maintain The Stage is set, same sound altering effect with no changes Act 2: Act 3:
Transformation Technique [ Henge no Jutsu ] | Rank E The user forms a hand sign, changing their physical appearance in the blink of an eye. Using this technique the user is able to transform into smaller objects or persons up to their own relative size. This allows the user to guise themselves in plain sight or masquerade as another person entirely. Alternatively, the user may cast this on inanimate objects within eyesight. This technique remains active for three posts before it must be repaid
The Stage is Set [ Sutēji ga Settei ] | Rank X | Cost: Chakra The cornerstone to set the ideal scene for the performer, this ability changes the entire thread it is used in, as prevents any other jutsu at the rank this was used at below from altering the thread once it has been laid. Similar to a keystone, this ability takes three effects of the user's choice to allow to the story. This could mean something like creating a swamp and then having that swamp has sticky properties to those that travel through it, requiring chakra paid to free oneself, whatever is desired. While being used this way, these effects may be korabo'd into the user's performance korabo for free, creating a three-way korabo between the jutsu. The limitations of this jutsu are listed below: • This jutsu must follow a storybook progression. Unlike a true keystone, this ability cannot have all of its effects active at one time. Instead, they must follow the progression order of a beginning, middle, and an end. When transferring to the next part of the story the previous part loses its power but can remain after, as an aesthetic effect if desired. Meaning once you reached the next part of your story, the swamp would lose its sticky power but could remain behind as a means to set the ‘scene’ without breaking the flow of the reading. Each separate effect cannot last more than [3] posts. • Storybook created items lack elemental properties that the performer does not possess when they interact with real-world items and beings. For instance, writing that a fireball falls from the sky will only deal blunt force trauma as opposed to burning, unless the performer possesses the fire element. Ninjutsu users may apply their enhanced element effects to these storybook creations as well.
• Much the same as other custom effects, no storybook created effect may be written so that it is a direct auto-hit OR write the death of a character that isn’t initially part of the story. As in, you could not say: write that that their RPC starts out poisoned, but instead write they are traveling through a poisoned cloud.
• Similar to other song jutsu, performers may utilize either your squad, or the assistance of other class performers, or even yourself, this ability may have its current effect duration increased by one post each time that performance is written in their post. Doing so costs an activation (or all activations in the case of a squadron) but no chakra, and can only a maximum of one activation may be spent this way at a time. Performance assistance from multiple sources does provide more than a single post increase but does improve your chances for upkeep this effect uninterrupted.
• Kai may be used to free oneself from a storybook effect but does not end the use of the story jutsu itself. This freedom counts as immunity from all story effects for up to one post after the kai isu sed. After that, if the performance has been upkept, they are subject to its effects once more.

The small woman was sitting at her desk by the time the two entered her office and closed the door behind them. Her head tilted to the side at what Eirene had to say, but her mouth split into a small smile - though it didn't meet her eyes. "I am Octavia and this is my bar, yes." She looked between the shark kemono and the Oni for a long moment even after a natural pause to wait for their respective introductions. She was visibly unbothered by the silence that stretched between them before she perked right up, suddenly animated as she gestured to the door. "Can you go fetch us some Fin Blasts from the bar?" She looked directly at the Oni woman as she asked. She went back to being statuesque as she waited for the Oni to listen, though something in her eyes seemed excited.
Could she be testing Obei's ability to follow orders, or was something else going on here?
A small room was something that helped encompass home big Obei actually was, Eirene noticing that there was little abreast room left with them side by side and Obei’s towering made it all the more noticeable. Eirene didn’t look around much and paid most attention to the delicious loo-…. suspicious seeming host who had invited them. Almost making a foolish error out of habit, the introduction of Octavia almost brought an automatic “Hi, I’m Eirene! Nice to meet you!!!” With a big bright smile and a wave of her hand. The hand that rose to wave was quickly and smoothly diverted to using her fingers to play with her hair, her widening eyes narrowing immediately after and looking sideways in the direction of her playing had to feign limited interest, as if she found herself and her time more important. Finally her mouths motions the start speaking would offer the basic ”Yeah, I’m Erenis…… not a bad place ya got here.” The compliment almost sounded strained but more in the sense of a persons who didn’t like to give compliments over giving the impressed she might be lying.
Looking at the Oni as Octavia made her request and watched almost as if excited to see how Obei would react, it would be surprising that the tall, pale lady would follow along. Eirene wasn’t certain if this was something Obei would or would not have done, a twitch and movement of an eyebrow hinting at the fact she didn’t fully expect that. Fortunately for Eirene she was smart enough to know her own expressions and made a small hum in the back of her throat to indicate minor surprise, turning her attention back to the Kemono. ”So what is up? Do you need us for something, my partner and me aren’t usually the kind to indulge a random persons whims for no reason, you want something from us?!” She questioned with exasperation as she was in essence, playing dumb, not super dumb but enough so to imply that she was an easier to steer person when it came to conversations and also implied being motivated by incentives, in other words a potential crook even if loosely implied. Eirene would simply try to appeal like she had been instructed to, the little shark feeling suspicious and being forced to drop her sound altering field, though that was fine, just Octavias excited gaze was causing Eirene uncertainty… but there was no hostility she could notice so she would simply continue being undercover. Using one hand she would begin to drum her fingernails in a near inpatient rhythm to gentle bring Octavia’s attention to herself, instead of staring so intently and full of excitement over a drink… Eirene not one to believe many others are as excitable as herself, the drumming hopefully bringing the octopuses attention and mind to answering her questions.

When Obei would leave to follow the request, Octavia would lean forward and stare at Eirene. "I don't want anything from your friend, bloop, I want you. You notice how no one else in that bar is like us?" She waited for only a moment, almost as if expecting an answer, but then she carried on feverishly. "We are the oldest, the abyssal ones, the true progeny of the Old Ones. We are owed more than what we have. All of these villages... they have taken our home from us and they deny us the dignity and royal treatment we deserve. We are the only ones who can speak to the Beyond. Tell me you know this in your heart, right? I am trying to restore our status in society. My crew and I, we've been working on picking apart the ones who stand in our way. No longer should we have to suffer as lower class citizens, even with these other animal pretenders. They can't even see the Abyss. Fools. Just like the humans. They've forgotten but we haven't.
"So, tell me you're in. We're meeting tomorrow at midnight at the alley by Third so we can snatch up this foreign policies manager. If you're in, meet us there." Octavia would suddenly rise to her feet as Obei would walk back in with their drinks. Her demeanor immediately changed from the obsessive fever to something artificially cheerful. She clapped her hands together at the sight of the drinks and beamed at Obei as if she hadn't just been conspiring against every non-aquatic being. "Thanks! But I've just remembered I have a meeting to prepare for. Pardon me for cutting short our little party but I'll need you to join the general bar area instead. I've got work to do." She didn't accept the drink and ushered them towards the door to close it if Eirene would leave.

The woman that both girls had seemed to be seeking was eccentric at best. Obei's never moving eyes scanned her figure up and down. The tentacles coming from her jacket made her wonder the ins and outs of Kemono Shinzo. For all she had assumed, they would all be land beasts of some variety but here Octavia was. Things were confusing. Very confusing. The towering oni let out a huff and would go with the smaller of the two and settle in the woman's office. She sat by her desk and introduced herself officially, with the oni looking towards the shark girl and her shrill voice introducing herself. When it came time to her turn, Obei would nod in approval. "Am Obei. Is nice bar Octavia has. Very nice bar." There came a bout of silence while the three of them just sort of stared at one another. Only to be broken by Octavia asking her to go fetch alcohol from the bar. She blinked, having not wanted to be separated from Eirene but would eventually stand up silently and walk towards the bar to pick up the needed drinks. It was a slow walk over, though mostly because the Oni had to try and not stomp on anybody or destroy anything. One of the drawbacks of being almost seven and a half feet tall. Once near the bar, she'd wait for the bartender to notice her and then make the order.
After retrieving the Fin Blasts, Obei turned around and would walk back towards Octavia's meeting room with Eirene inside. The room wasn't exploding and she wasn't being held for ransoms, so they were still on good terms. She set the tray of drinks on the desk and went to sit back down before Octavia would cut the meeting short. Confused, she'd down the cup meant for her and Eirene before then walking out and awaiting Eirene to leave the room herself.

In the beginning the little shark had no idea why this octo-lady should wish to dismiss Obei, though the reasoning became as clear as a lightbulb exploding when turned on. As she nodded to the first statement, perceptive enough to realize she meant aquatic types she would internally freeze when Octavia continued, a dropping sensation in her heart as this hit close to home. This one was like her father in a bad way, though how bad was the real question when it came to Octavia and her intent behind her Sea-origin supremacy. The other bit was something that her dad wasn’t one to refer to often but something that he and by extension, his children were aware of was the reference to the “progeny of the old ones.” This was something her father didn’t agree with and those who believed they didn’t come from him and yet came from the sea…. were a huge problem to him and didn’t usually end off very well…. Eirene really had difficultly with true abyssal supremacists as they were existent on the exact opposite end of the spectrum of her, who did believe all life came from the ocean and that respect was due, though the land-types have much more expansive cultures and innovation among other things, which also deserved its due.
Repositioning her posture a little the little shark would sincerely frown, though this could be chalked off to an action of grim agreement or understanding with what Octavia was saying and not because she actually didn’t like it. The octopus has her points here or there but it was all mixed in with bias, bitterness and not know what the hell she was on about, Eirene despite everything about her… was likely MUCH older than Octavia and though her visits to the surface were often limited or very explicit locations, she understood than it was MUCH harder for Kemono and other sea origin type even twenty years ago, let alone a few hundred… though admittedly there had been high points for the sea types if she remembered her fathers stated history correctly. Human were shaky around their types sure… but Octavias opinion and actions were equally as flawed and judgmental and if people can’t meet in the middle and take the needed time, nothing would ever change… no one was patient… then again most weren’t so long lived and as such were unwilling to wait.
Eirene was actually prepared to dig into what was going on here and find out what experiences specifically made Octavia hold such twisted feelings, she felt that Octavia was hurt or betrayed in some way but knew that nothing would chance that in the immediate. Giving a slow and purposeful nod when Octavia was done, showing that she heard and understood what the other was saying, turning almost sharply when Obei arrived as if to mirror concern of the topic being kept between them. ”Yo, seems she didn’t need to speak to us for any length of time…. I’ll see you again later sometime then, good chatting with ya. Right let’s go have some more drinks before we go find somethin’ to eat.” She spoke in a way that implied a level of evasion with Obei but it was light, the comment directed at Octavia to indirectly imply she was in, before giving Obei a look for downing her drink and shoved her hands in her hoodies front pocket, proceeding back to the bar so they could hang about a bit longer and not arouse suspicion. The mission was a success but it left Eirene feeling a bit bitter considering the contents, not letting this show until after they were gone.
