[Anko Quest] - The Awakening

OOC / New Player thread

(Note: This is a quest-type RP, which has one significant difference from the normal kind around here; instead of each poster controlling the actions of different characters or different versions of one char, everyone works together to control Anko, collectively suggesting her actions)


You are Anko Mitarashi! Badass Kunoichi of Konoha!



And you are... waking up in a hospital bed. You, Anko, fells a bit woozy and... light? You're not exactly sure what's going on. You hear voices, and gradually open your eyes.

"And you're sure the changes are permanent?"

"Yes, we think it might be due to the jutsu's interaction with her cursed seal."

"Hm, I suppose we could put her in with the current group of rookies... oh, hey! She's awake!"

As your eyes focus, you notice the Jonin Kakashi Hakate... who you think was your most recent commander...? talking to a high rank medic nin over your bed. You remember her name is Mushako.


What do you/Anko do?


*Edit* In general, first come first serve for suggestions, so after the first few, it's better to recommend/disrecommend a mentioned one. Keep in mind you can discuss what to do with your other posts.

"Ohhhh... what the hell hit me?"

"Changes? I hope to god I'm not a snake right now."

"Damnit Kakashi, I aint a fucking rookie!"

"And where the hell did my panties go?!"

changes? Look at self.

OOC idea for Anko... not a slut on any level, but rather someone who act creepy and weird to keep people at a distance because she's afraid of peole getting close and hurting her.

"Ugh, what the fuck hit me?"

Will this be one of those that if someone doesn't say to look around we will not look around. I think it would be a lot easier if GM would give up every piece of obvious info and skip obvious actions automatically.

"Kakashi what the fuck happened." Anko looks around the room.

Makes sense, she was pretty badly treated by someone she really trusted.

I'm thinking we might end up with a Hedgehog's dilemma if we spend a lot of time around Sasuke, especially if we recognise his similar fears of intimacy born of betrayal.

Basic options like looking around will happen automatically. Anko may also sometimes resist suggestions or do something on her own.


> "Ohhhh... what the hell hit me?"

"We think an S-class biological change jutsu," Mushako says. "We think because it didn't go off right. The criminal medical ninja tried hitting you with a kinjutsu designed to... well, it's hard to say what, but it didn't go off right, and we think your cursed seal helped you resist it, so you ended up altered rather than dead."

Kakashi steps in, "Sorry about that. Our intelligence had indicated the wrong ninja was in charge of the operation. The one I took down turned out to be a chunin-level front man, while your target ended up being the real boss. You had already poisoned him when he tried his little kinjutsu, and the combination was too much for him. Between chakra overload from losing control and venom, the backlash killed him on the spot."

Mushako continues, "We also think your cursed seal has been affected. It's been altered, and the sealing over it is partially gone, but it doesn't seem to be acting malignantly, so we've decided to leave it as-is."


> "Changes? I hope to god I'm not a snake right now."

Mushako hands you a mirror:



You're a freaking kid again! You're much shorter than you used to be, and your figure is totally gone!

Anko thinks she really is the same age as those genin brats...

Query: "Tell me I won't have the skills of a genin again! I'd hate to train my control and reserves from the ground again."

Look > under the hospital groom.

Action > sigh.

> "Tell me I won't have the skills of a genin again! I'd hate to train my control and reserves from the ground again."

"Wellll... your chakra network was heavily altered. You have the skills to operate an adult chakra network that has developed in response to your own jutsu. You're not quite at square one, but you'll have to retrain your skills and your network practically from the ground up," Mushako explains.

OP explanation: A side-effect of this is that you will not have to follow the same jutsu path Anko originally did, along with effective-inexperience comes options.



Look > under the hospital groom.

Yep, no boobs. Not by your standards.

Mushako gives you a look of sympathy, and Kakashi looks away.

"Someone better either get me Dango or something to f*%&, or I'll be really pissed."

Talk > "I can't believe I have to go through puberty again."

----
For this quest purposes, how does the Summoning Contract with the snakes works? Are all the bigger ones evil or it's just Manda?
----

Query > "So, what what happens now? Where I will be placed not that I have to train my body all over again?"

"Oh fantastic! I'm a midget again! It's going to be years before I get my rockin' body back!"

*Sulk and pout*

"Wait, how the hell am I going to run missions like this? Nobody's going to take me seriously! I'm too cute to be 'Miss Scary Sexy Special Jounin' yet!"

*Grabs hair in frustration*

"I don't want to be a penniless hobo!"

Depending on how this goes, maybe we could make a true text based game later? At least, compile everything.

Summoning contracts- the only boss snake you know is Manda, and he's evil. You do know some other, smaller but still pretty big snakes that'll work with you. You haven't tested how well you can summon.

Making a text-based game- out of my league.

> Request for Dango!

Kakashi gives you a Dango like a good squad commander.

> "What do I do now? No one's going to take me seriously like this in a team of adult ninja!"

Kakashi replies, "Well, as you know we're currently putting together teams for the latest batch of genin. Joining them would give you a chance to re-train your abilities, and wouldn't look odd considering your new stature.

"There's a couple slots you could fit in, and even I'm planning on taking a genin team this year, Team 7 if they qualify. If you wanted a slot on it it's yours. You could also request to replace someone from an existing genin team, though that'd be trickier to arrange."


Team selection time!

Post your preference for what genin team you'd like to be on from the Konoha 12, and what character's slot you'd like to replace in it (though some replacements may not fly).

Team 7, find a different team for Sakura to be on, without Sasuke distracting her she might actually get to being useful eariler.

Can I join?


Team 7 for sure, someone needs to keep an eye on Sasuke that would be accepted as a friend. Kakashi there is all well and good but a younger person would be able to connect better with him.

Talk > "Ugh. I never was on a genin team before."

Query > "What are my options for this year batch?"

"Ugh, D Ranks, and here I was thinking that if I had to endure those again I'd have my own group of minions to torture, not go through it all over again!"

*Adopts a thoughtful tone*

"Still, it is the best option, I suppose, and I'll get to keep annoying you Kakashi, except this time my questions will have a legitimate purpose!"

Team 7 here!

"There is no way in hell you guys are going to stick me in a team with some snot nosed kids that are playing to be ninja."

Staying in character. He would need to convince (a lot) the real Anko to do something like this or get an order to do it as I don't see any other way she would even consider such a thing. Maybe Kakashi buying all the dango she wants and the agreement to be in writing persuade her to do it.

Nah, it's funnier if the engine (gm) answers with something like:

>I'm not going to say that to him

or

>Crap, I must have hit my head just to consider that

or

>I'm not going to [strip naked].

Except it's really her only option, Anko isn't a stupid person, she'd die if she tried to continue her life as she is now and being on a Genin team means she'll be able to easily retrain herself and adapt to the growing she's going to be doing at a sensible rate.
