Meeting with Hayate

May 27 23:05:12 *	Kuji gets outside the hustle and bustle of the city for just one bit... only place he could train with his halberd anyways.
May 27 23:05:52 *	Hayate is hidden in the bushes, staring at Kuji. Interesting to see someone training
May 27 23:06:50 <Hayate>	"Interesting...." Hayate says just loud enough for Kuji to hear. Just barely
May 27 23:07:05 *	Kuji took a stab at the nearest tree, and then pulled back and swung his weapon around a few times before holding it to the side. "What was that?"
May 27 23:07:27 <Hayate>	"Training I see?"
May 27 23:07:50 <Kuji>	"Yeah. What's it to ya?"
May 27 23:07:53 *	Hayate moves to a different position in the tree above Kuji
May 27 23:08:15 <Hayate>	"Nothing. Not often to see normal people actually wasting the time."
May 27 23:09:02 <Kuji>	"Heh. I have to train. That's what I have to do." He took another stab at the tree before sighed. "Thirteen years done, seven more to go..."
May 27 23:09:39 <Hayate>	"More years of what?"
May 27 23:10:16 <Kuji>	"Training. I'm going to be the head guardsman."
May 27 23:10:43 <Hayate>	"Head Guardsman of what?"
May 27 23:11:08 <Kuji>	"My village."
May 27 23:11:54 <Hayate>	"Sounds like a waste of.... Time if you ask me. Having a village."
May 27 23:12:12 *	Hayate appears behind Kuji, in full view
May 27 23:12:17 <Kuji>	"Well, it's not mine, of course. But it's my du-"
May 27 23:12:31 <Kuji>	"...where'd he go?"
May 27 23:12:58 <Hayate>	"Your eyes..... Decieve you."
May 27 23:13:04 *	Hayate chukles
May 27 23:13:12 <Kuji>	"Heh. I wish that were true..."
May 27 23:13:16 <Hayate>	"Turnaround."
May 27 23:13:35 *	Kuji turned around at the sound, and spotted Hayate. "Heh. You're quick."
May 27 23:14:08 <Hayate>	"I... Have been told. You seem much more interesting then the rest of these... Fellows."
May 27 23:14:33 <Kuji>	"...wait... aren't you the guy who went into the PokeFutures building and then just disappeared?"
May 27 23:15:35 <Hayate>	"I have been said to dissappear and appear. Like Magic."
May 27 23:16:37 <Kuji>	"Heh. Magic. I've been seeing a lot of that recently." Kuji took his polearm and held it in front of him, in a resting state. "Tell me... are you a magician as well?"
May 27 23:17:08 <Hayate>	"Nothing of the sort. I am merely a man with a mission."
May 27 23:18:00 <Kuji>	"Hm. Nice to know." Kuji turned to the left and quickly swung his halberd like an battleaxe.
May 27 23:18:33 *	Hayate looks at his halbard swing and nods
May 27 23:18:42 <Hayate>	"You have... A nice form with your swing."
May 27 23:18:58 <Kuji>	"Thanks. I've been practicing for a long time now."
May 27 23:19:39 <Hayate>	"So, any particular reason you actually need to be a guardsman?"
May 27 23:19:56 *	Hayate has switched to sitting on the ground
May 27 23:20:24 <Kuji>	"Family tradition." Kuji let his halberd move off to the side before giving it a quick flick, swinging it to the center.
May 27 23:21:23 <Hayate>	"Hmmm... Family huh?"
May 27 23:21:36 *	Hayate nods noting the details in his head
May 27 23:22:04 <Kuji>	"Indeed..." Kuji put down his halberd. "Alright, then... let's try this..."
May 27 23:23:01 <Hayate>	"Try what?"
May 27 23:23:10 *	Kuji put down his shield and then sighed. "Tell no one what you're about to see... yet. Okay?"
May 27 23:23:36 <Hayate>	"I'm great at keeping secrets."
May 27 23:23:43 <Kuji>	1d20+3
May 27 23:23:44 <DiceMaid-9001>	Kuji, 1d20+3: 15 [1d20=12]
May 27 23:25:02 <Kuji>	Kuji held out his hands in front of him... before quickly thrusting them out. As soon as they fully extended, a twelve-pointed glyph that was shield-like came out in front of him.
May 27 23:25:22 <Kuji>	"Oh. I'm getting better at this."
May 27 23:26:29 *	Hayate looks intrigued
May 27 23:26:33 <Hayate>	"What do you have there?"
May 27 23:27:08 *	Ryuu (726cc008@sux-D7D2E6A7.mibbit.com) has joined #AlthoRegion
May 27 23:27:54 <Kuji>	"Shield magic... the magic that keeps our family in the head guardsman spot." He then dismissed the shield and huffed. "Wow, that's a little draining."
May 27 23:28:49 *	Hayate nods
May 27 23:29:03 <Hayate>	"Ah. I see so this is the 'magic' right?
May 27 23:29:14 <Kuji>	"You could say that."
May 27 23:29:33 <Hayate>	"Ah I can do this hold on..."
May 27 23:30:26 <Kuji>	"Hm?"
May 27 23:30:37 *	Hayate puts his hands together, and focuses, creating 3 copies of himself, before dispelling them
May 27 23:30:59 <Kuji>	"Hoh? You must be a ninja! That's..."
May 27 23:31:52 <Hayate>	"... Well then I guess you have found me out then."
May 27 23:32:03 *	Hayate chuckles
May 27 23:32:51 <Kuji>	"Heh..." If I need anything from you, I'll let you know.
May 27 23:33:16 <Kuji>	(...that ")
May 27 23:33:17 <Hayate>	"Depends on what you need."
May 27 23:33:37 <Kuji>	"Hm. Good question... do you know any other ninjas?"
May 27 23:34:10 <Hayate>	".... Not anymore."
May 27 23:34:38 <Kuji>	"...hm? Ah, you broke off contact?"
May 27 23:35:02 <Hayate>	"They broke contact with me."
May 27 23:35:37 <Kuji>	"...I see."
May 27 23:35:57 *	Hayate shrugs
May 27 23:36:20 <Hayate>	"Much better That way. They were only using me anyway."
May 27 23:36:28 <Kuji>	1d20+3
May 27 23:36:29 <DiceMaid-9001>	Kuji, 1d20+3: 6 [1d20=3]
May 27 23:36:52 *	Kuji attempts to summon the MAGIC SHIELD again with one hand... with no luck. "Hm..."
May 27 23:37:50 <Hayate>	"Maybe you should take a rest. Seems you are working hard at least. I can relax you if needed."
May 27 23:38:11 <Kuji>	"...that sounds really weird."
May 27 23:38:36 <Hayate>	"Hmm it does? Sounds fine to me."
May 27 23:39:24 <Kuji>	"...alright, let's see what you can do." Kuji sat down on the ground and closed his eyes, breathing deeply...
May 27 23:40:15 *	Hayate walks behind Kuji and places a hand on his shoulder to release the tension
May 27 23:40:37 <Kuji>	"Hm... that is good..."
May 27 23:40:48 <Hayate>	1d20+7 that dex mod :V
May 27 23:40:49 <DiceMaid-9001>	Hayate, that dex mod :V: 12 [1d20=5]
May 27 23:41:26 <Hayate>	"Blah. Must be uncomfortable with the situation. I normally don't talk this much."
May 27 23:41:29 <Kuji>	(...I'm surprised you don't have the Massage Therapist feature that adds +5 to DEX checks.)
May 27 23:41:43 <Hayate>	(I was gonna get it later)
May 27 23:42:01 <Kuji>	"Hm... it's alright. It's not like anyone else is here..."
May 27 23:42:16 <Hayate>	"All of you are so loud, and I'm getting on in the years..."
May 27 23:43:21 <Kuji>	"Which is why you're outside the city. It's not that loud here."
May 27 23:43:24 *	Garlyle is now known as Garlyle|TheWorking
May 27 23:44:56 <Hayate>	"Correct. And you seem to be at least focused on Training. I was actually doing some workouts for training."
May 27 23:45:24 <Kuji>	"Oh, really. Huh. It looks like I'm not the only guy who trains around here."
May 27 23:45:27 <Kuji>	(jabjab)
May 27 23:46:35 <Hayate>	"Eh... Training keeps me from the loudness of the city and all the people, so I do it everyday. And it keeps me from running down, which is bad at my age..."
May 27 23:46:57 <Kuji>	"Hm? You can't be that old, right?"
May 27 23:47:54 <Hayate>	"Ha. Good joke."
May 27 23:48:00 <Kuji>	"What."
May 27 23:48:01 *	Hayate chuckles very slightly
May 27 23:48:35 <Hayate>	"Nothing. Nothing. Mind you I'm at least 38 years old."
May 27 23:48:49 <Kuji>	"And I am too. Anything else new?"
May 27 23:49:21 <Hayate>	"At the most however, I'm somewhere around 50."
May 27 23:49:27 *	Hayate shrugs
May 27 23:49:32 <Hayate>	"I cannot remember."
May 27 23:49:45 <Kuji>	"...you can't... remember when you were born?"
May 27 23:50:19 <Hayate>	"Oh no I remember, however I was ... 'lost'... yeah lost for a period of time in which I stopped keeping track."
May 27 23:50:42 <Kuji>	"...hm. I see."
May 27 23:51:30 <Hayate>	"Let's just say it was a dark time I wish no one could go through."
May 27 23:51:55 <Kuji>	"Hm. Alright, then."
May 27 23:52:45 <Hayate>	"Now about yourself... You seem to be one of the older members."
May 27 23:52:58 <Kuji>	"Members? Of what?"
May 27 23:54:02 <Hayate>	"The orginization.. Or am I mistaken?"
May 27 23:54:17 <Kuji>	"...HOW DID YOU KNOW THAT!?"
May 27 23:54:34 *	Kuji quickly moves forward and readies his halberd
May 27 23:54:51 *	Hayate looks at Kuji, a bit surprised at the yell, and stands up
May 27 23:54:56 <Hayate>	"How did I know what?"
May 27 23:55:15 <Kuji>	"...the organization..."
May 27 23:55:30 <Hayate>	"What about it?"
May 27 23:55:46 <Kuji>	"...how did you know I was in it?"
May 27 23:56:17 <Hayate>	"I merely assumed. I guess I was correct."
May 27 23:56:40 <Kuji>	"...hm. You aren't one of those, are you?"
May 27 23:57:18 <Garlyle|TheWorking>	(GM Fiat: Even if you are a ninja, Hayate - the identity of members of the Wanderers are beyond your means to obtain)
May 27 23:57:37 <Hayate>	(Got it)
May 27 23:57:48 <Kuji>	(Hence, Kuji's surprise.)
May 27 23:59:19 <Hayate>	(Well I did merely assume since I saw him training and it guess it would be more of a offhand comment since he had his age at 38, close to his age, thinking that the other members would be much younger than himself. But it wasn't about being a ninja, it was more of an assumption)
May 27 23:59:31 <Hayate>	(If that makes sense iunno it's late)
May 27 23:59:48 <Kuji>	(Hm... I suppose.)
May 28 00:00:39 <Hayate>	(That made sense in my head.)
May 28 00:00:40 <Kuji>	(Now answer the question.)
May 28 00:00:53 <Hayate>	"One of whats?"
May 28 00:01:19 <Kuji>	"One of the assassins... we've had a rash of attempted murders lately..."
May 28 00:02:39 <Hayate>	"I am an assassin-for-hire, however this is not the case."
May 28 00:03:12 <Kuji>	"Hm..." Kuji somewhat relaxed his stance and sighed. "Oh, sorry about that."
May 28 00:04:01 <Hayate>	"I do apologize as well. I merely assumed you were a member due to you actually training. I don't normally see anyone out here doing anything."
May 28 00:04:43 <Kuji>	"Hm... so I suppose you're a member as well."
May 28 00:05:10 <Hayate>	"You could say that, yeah."
May 28 00:05:51 *	Kuji slowly sat back down. "...don't scare me like that anymore..."
May 28 00:06:21 <Hayate>	"Scare you? I'm not scary no. I can be scary though."
May 28 00:06:37 <Kuji>	"...I'd hate to see that."
May 28 00:06:54 *	Hayate chuckles
May 28 00:07:00 <Hayate>	"We all would."
May 28 00:07:43 <Kuji>	"Hm... I should get back. I got someone else to train. You'll be fine, I take it?"
May 28 00:08:20 <Hayate>	"Sure. Why not. Oh, do you have a name I can associate with?"
May 28 00:08:45 *	Kuji stood up, ready to leave. "...Kuji Kotodes. And you?"
May 28 00:09:07 <Hayate>	".... You may call me Hayate. That is all you need to know."
May 28 00:09:18 *	Garlyle|TheWorking is now known as Garlyle
May 28 00:09:24 <Kuji>	"...mysterious as usual."
May 28 00:09:55 *	Hayate turns away and starts walking off into the bushes
May 28 00:10:21 *	Kuji chuckles and walks back to the city, ready to do some more training...
