Nature Exploration

[fuckingnature]

Who: The brave/foolish
When: Day 18, Afternoon through Evening/Night
Where: The areas still infested by nature
What:

[ Okay mighty explorers, there are now two uncleared hallways, a set of stairs (though the one up still has a blob thing stuck in it), and what's looking to be a large open area with a pathway to the outdoors. And, of course, outside the building itself. ]

[ If you're one of the later explorers, or just interested in seeing the nightlife of Thusia, you may notice a thick mist settling into the building the later it gets. ]

[ Pick your poison. ]

(( OOC: Please make note of your general direction and time of exploration somewhere in your thread or subject line! And as always, partnering up is the cool/smart thing to do. ))

[thankyouverymooch]

[Kakashi you are a dick

But he was expecting this anyway, so gonna be a tasty bait]

That's cruel, you know!

[fuckingnature]

[ Nothing's moving.... yet. ]

[lostontheroadoflife]

... be more interesting bait.

[thankyouverymooch]

I think I look tasty enough already...!

[fuckingnature]

[ That other tree you looked away from doesn't look like it's in the same spot it was in before either. Strange. ]

[ Except you don't sense the dangerzone from it either. ]

[lostontheroadoflife]

Obviously not tasty enough.

[all the shifting and pinging of ninja senses is getting annoying when it's just stalking but keeping eye on the trees]

[thankyouverymooch]

[and the trees sure ping just as normal trees]

Then I'll apologize for not having condiment ready at hand.

[fuckingnature]

[ Stay still long enough, and you'll notice that the only trees that move are the ones that are behind you. Kind of like that one that's lifted up, revealing a spiked bottom, and is aiming for your back pretty quickly. ]

[lostontheroadoflife]

[that there is some clear killing intent which sucks since he was taking the rear. attempt to twist out of the way and using the sword to deflect blow is go]

[thankyouverymooch]

Kakashi—!

[so ready to grab him and run for it in the worst case scenario.]

[fuckingnature]

[ You mean the kind of worse case scenario where the sword gets stuck in the tree, deflecting it away from Kakashi enough to not hit him just as another one comes up to make a stab at Ling? ]

[lostontheroadoflife]

[... well shit. this is why I hate swords.

ONLY KUNAI GETTING QUICKLY PULLED OUT AND THROWN AT NEW SPIKE-CREATURE/LING while other hand keeps hold of the damn sword]

[thankyouverymooch]

[not as worse case scenario but pretty bad yeah.

But hey, he's got good reflexes, so grabbing that Kunai fast, and going to try rolling out of the way right after]

[fuckingnature]

[ Not fast enough, that spike's caught onto your shirt! And that original spike from before is pulling away with the sword to attack again. ]

[lostontheroadoflife]

[whup. sorry, Ling. letting sword go to dodge that by hopping up on top of the spike before leaping up and... well. Sticking to the side of the tree trunk in a crouch.

Definitely some heavier chakra use for this but hey, buying time to check out the creature]

[thankyouverymooch]

[You know what, CUTTING SHIRT TO GET AWAY, THEN]

You better not let it get away with my sword, Kakashi!

[fuckingnature]

[ FINE, WE'LL TRY TO STAB LING INSTEAD, BE A JERK LIKE THAT >U ]

[lostontheroadoflife]

[well he is supposed to be bait. also Sharingan to see how the hell these things move to get closer to possible fleshy bits]

[thankyouverymooch]

[going to try and dodge that, and noticing Kakashi's using his eye now]

These guys are too much trouble to fight like this. Hurry up and find a weak point!

[fuckingnature]

[ THESE ARE REALLY REALLY TALL THIN TREES which makes no sense except they all seem to reach up to a common area above you. ]

[ Stabbity stab stab DANCE PUPPET DANCE ]

[lostontheroadoflife]

[. . . Looking upwards appropriate keywords are appropriate]

Ling, where did you sense them earlier?

[thankyouverymooch]

[focusing on dodging all the attacks!!]

Now you remember about my skills? Heh. Search up high, close to the ceiling!

[fuckingnature]

[ DANCE FASTER stab stab stab, another spike has joined the party and your sword is in the worst position for all this abuse. ]

[ Looking up, there is a large mass of foliage that seems to be attached to the legs. ]

[lostontheroadoflife]

[if it's one creature, Chidori could take it out but then thee's the problem of energy and the fall.

... well. no time like the present.

CHARGING UP ENERGY]

Buy me some time.

[thankyouverymooch]

Would be easier if someone didn't get my sword stuck.

[and going to throw the Kunai Kakashi tossed at him earlier in the direction of that large mass to grab its attention]

Make it fast!

[because dodging so much is getting a little difficult with another spike involved]
