Cosmos Quest (Naruto/Lupin III)

What? No; I'm not talking about that, besides actually paying for any of these is just...wrong...

I mean we have to be better thief; learn to steal all three through space-time continuum and screw the laws of physics.

 

Well, one of these paths does lead to the possibility of learning the Hiraishin, but you have to make just the right choices to get it even once you're on the path.

 

[x] Brouch

 

[X] A brooch.

 

[2] A sealed scroll.

[Nada] A ring.

[3] A brooch.

 

Mou, this is so frustrating. I really wanna start writing, but I haven't heard from everyone yet. I don't like to cut people out of decisions just because my sleep schedule is insane and theirs is perfectly reasonable.

 

I sleep on a 26 hour day. I know damn well I won't be awake for important things sometimes.

I also have no idea what any of these things do, and am paralyzed with indecision.

[X] A brooch.

 

[X] One ring to rule them all

 

[X] Sealed Scroll

Can I have tip about the Hirashin?

 

[X] One ring to rule them all

 

So we might be able to wear the ring as an adult?

....Eh, not feeling the sealed scroll, could have anything in it. Or rather, nothing valuable enough people would recognize. If it's encrypted or something, they'd have turned it in to some ninja for a reward or something. Presumably. I mean, I guess people could just not recognize it for what it is but....yeah, it'd be pushing it.

Ring, dunno. Brooch, at least we can wear it now.

[X] Brooch.

 

[X] Mystery Box.

 

Thieve harder sounds like a great movie title.

(x) Ring I guess.
Ninja don't do rings, but it could be a Takazono signet or something.

 

[X] Nostalgia: it ain't what it used to be

It's strange. Usually you won't give costume jewellery a second glance - especially not painted costume jewellery. You're not four. But there's something about this brooch that makes you... well, excited.

Depicted on it is a circular map of some kind, with a sword hanging point-down behind it and a wreath embracing its bottom half. You don't know what those basket-looking things on either side at the bottom are about, but all in all it's a pretty neat-looking image. At least at your house it'll get some love instead of being stuffed half-heartedly into a bookcase. You slip it into your sleeve and regroup with Mom, wondering if perhaps your Annotated World Atlas of Art History has anything in it about foreign alphabets.

Supper is delicious, if slightly more mundane than the various rare treats you were able to taste this afternoon. The three of you retire to your rooms to decompress from the long day.

That is, Ami wants to decompress in your room; Mom is heading for the hot springs and you intend to corner her and have a nice chat about this Oshibe, whoever she may be.

"You sure you don't want backup?" Ami asks, fanning herself with her new custom uchiwa (decorated, of course, with a scene from the Great Uchiha Fire of Rakka 34 on one side and the kanji for mulberry on the other).

"The offer is appreciated, but unnecessary," you say, ear pressed against your door, waiting for Mom to head out. "Thanks, though. I'll take you up on it when the interrogation target isn't my Mom."

It's then that you hear your mother's door open and shut. You wait a full five minutes, and then saunter out into the hall with your yukata tucked under your arm.

You quickly get done washing and wrap a huge towel around yourself (you're so short it comes down almost to your ankles), and you're about to step out into the open onsen area whenWHOAYOUCANFEELAJOUNINPOSSIBLYAKAGEWHATTHEFUCK.

Through a small rip in the shoji, you take a peek in the direction of the signature, and quickly conclude that unless Tsunade-hime of the Sannin has had a bust reduction since her photo in the history textbook was taken, neither of those two twentysomethings are likely to be her.

That just leaves the male side.

[X] What do?

The image used above was found on photobucket

Fun fact: apparently in order to find decent Lupin/Zenigata fanart, you need to search for ICPO badges. There isn't enough kyaa in the world.

 

[X] Try to find a hole in the wall to see if you can find out who it is.

 

It seems we are about to become Jiraya's mortal enemy.

 

Chinchinboju no Jutsu/Art of the Cockblock. Know it. Fear it. 8)

You realize you just voted to perv on the guy's side of the bath right?

We're not going to become Jiraiya's enemy, we're going to be his opposite number. Unintentionally intentionally. Or whatever the grammar is for this situation.

 

Well, you never know. Lupin's position on perving can best be summed up as...

 

Zenigata! I'm so pleased.

(x) Do we have time to mix up a batch of our mask stuff? Cover up, enter men's side.

 

Sorry, dude, you left the ingredients at home. Limited space in the bag, y'see. Plus at least part of the process involves boiling some of the ingredients; can't really do that in a ryokan-style room.

 

Oh god the lulz.

[X] Try to find a hole in the wall to see if you can find out who it is.

Especially considering Mom is probably going to be able to see us doing it.

Somehow, I see us getting along well with Jiraiya.

 

Y'know, there's no one to stop you from just going over to the guys' side.

 

Besides being a little girl? I mean, I guess we could pretend to be there with our father, but... It's still a bit strange.

 

Cute little girls are forgiven anything.

 

True enough.. and no one suspects the cute little girl..

 

Yes, that'd be perfectly rational I'm sure.

But our way is more fun.

Besides its totally going to be Orochimaru or Kisame or something.

 

Nah.. It'll be Jiraiya.. And we'll meet him.. And b trained in the art of peeping..
