Hokage-sama,

There's one thing I find noteworthy about the latest fliers - they say that they are already among us. I don't think that treating our citizens with suspicion will do anything except tear us apart, however given how well coordinated the attack was, I think there must be some truth to that statement.

Therefore, I have a suggestion: we need to find a way to infiltrate their group. Perhaps you might choose a few people who you trust implicitly to stage an argument with you somewhere public. Or to start having dissenting opinions in general. Just to see if any of them get approached to join this group over time.

Apologies if you've already considered this option. I think the value of knowing what they're up to would outweigh the risk of infiltrating the group.

Regards,

Natsumi

[ Scrawled in the finest penmanship that anyone probably seen is a brief message deceptively cryptic in design. It features an old proverb that loosely hints to Kirigakure's fondness for water and fish. ]

Fish don't swim anywhere without a purpose. Therefore, is it safe to assume that all of you swam upstream?

Sephiroth,

I heard about the mess in your country. I hope you are well. I hope the Abomination was caught in the crossfire.

Sephiroth,

I've heard a lot about the political unrest where you are, and I want to write to make sure that you're okay with everything that's been going on. Please write back soon.

[ It took her a few hours to figure out just what in the hell would be a good ice breaker, but she could at least send the damn thing. Who knew how he'd take it, or if he'd even respond at all. Still, this was a mission, and she needed to do it -- Even if she didn't want to. ]

[They send out a fairly vague, tersely written message. The words are almost illegible with how loopy the letters are written.]

I don't normally abuse the missive system but it's four in the morning, I'm tired but I can't sleep and everything feels gross and horrible. It's so stupid, there isn't any good reason for me to be like this but I do anyways. Maybe someone can talk me down a bit.

[ It's a curious little envelope that will eventually find itself pressed into the hand of a certain heel-wearing visionary no later than the third of March, the person that delivered it melting into the shadows. Whether or not they remain is a good question. They might linger if interest in issuing a response is given, but only if.

It's all written in very neat, if somehow rather...girlish handwriting: ]


Dear Alphinaud-san,

Hello there! I hope you are doing well (ノ^∇^) You are the grandson of Louisoix Leveilleur, am I correct? It is quite heartening to see his grandson continue his work! I know that you are probably quite busy with your aid work and such, so I will keep this letter short.

I cannot tell you who I am, but rest assured that I mean no harm and I would prefer to have you safe and sound. I am sure you know the nobility do not like you! In fact, they've probably made it very clear by now they would rather not have you around. I don't doubt you've already taken precautions, but as a gesture of goodwill, you should know there is another attempt coming for you soon. As the moon approaches being half-empty, be on your guard. You do not have to, but if you'd like you can send me back a reply through the messenger who delivered this to you. Please be careful, and take care.

Regards,
A friend

[The symbol that appears on the scroll is for a shinobi that has been long missing and presumed dead by their home village. It was salvaged from a corpse in the last few days and it will likely come as a shock and cause some confusion for any who recognize the symbol belonging to a missing shinobi from Konoha potentially gone missing in the last year while on a mission.]

Hello.

If it wouldn’t be too much trouble could we ask a few questions of the scrolls at large? We seem to be in need of some information. If you do provide any information for us, it won’t be without compensation. But we’ll work out terms on a case by case basis.

Most pressing right now is location. We seem to be on an...island. The water is blue/green calm presently, but it’s not clear. Sort of cloudy, the bottom not something that can be seen beyond the first few feet. There seemed to be another landmass off to the southwest, southeast, and northwest.


[The handwriting changes. The easy loopy handwriting changing to a different hand entirely. And the tone shifting to seeming playful despite being text on a page.]

Dere’s more than just dhose three. I saw dhem flying over da island. And dere’s a volcano at the center of dhe island too. Don’t do nothin’ tho. All dere is up dere is a building.

[The handwriting changes again, to something painstakingly neat and even.]

Beyond location, we require information on locating supplies. This island will not sustain the needs of our… clan over the long term without contact with others. We seek allies, willing to provide supplies in exchange. Again, compensation will be discussed with each individual or group willing to offer them.

[Another handwriting change, but this one has been blotted out with great enthusiasm. Visible in the thorough blots is "wea" "ki" and the word "asses." The original hand returns now a little rushed at first and then it evens out.]

We’d appreciate greatly if you can help us with any of those things. If you can’t but think you have information we might be interested in about other things, we’ll also welcome that as well.

[The third handwriting returns.]

To allay any concerns, we have no interest in expanding our territory or engaging in hostile action at this time. Our concern is trade and information.

The Embryon


[OOC: The scroll was written by most of the Embryon. As such both Gale and Argilla will be tagging into responses in varying degrees. Also, please feel free to assume your character knew the original owner of the scroll as they came from Konoha before going missing themselves in the last year.]

[The message comes in the dark hours of the morning, and the letter is written in jerky, clumsy handwriting, the ink warped and blurred in places that look like water drops. But that's crazy. Ami doesn't cry.]

N—

Is the big tower on the east side okay

I thought it was bursting like a balloon

[The note is very hastily written and somewhat shaky, directed back at his body. He was in a hurry.]

To whoever it concerns, Whatever you do, do not stop the intake of chakra from the teenager next to you. It keeps him calm and from having berserk fits! Contact me back immediately, or have him do so.

Your name is Nagato, and you will be called Pein-sama, sometimes Kami-sama, and more rarely Nagato-sama by the people of that country.

Mistreat them and I will end you.

Sephiroth,

I regret to inform you that I really won't be put forth as an exam student this round. Sensei claims it is because my teammates are still fresh from the Academy, but I am uncertain I believe him. Both seem capable. One seems dangerously deranged as well, and I am led to believe that has a chance of bolstering his eligibility for promotion in Kiri. He is, however, somewhat stupid, in my assessment. So perhaps there is a grain of truth to Sensei's logic.

Perhaps.

A part of me, however, cannot help but feel he might have other factors influencing his decision. He hasn't outright said anything, but I have the distinct impression he doesn't like you very much. Did you say something to him, when we spoke during that ridiculous berry mission? I've already assured him that I am not seeking you out as a replacement for him, so I don't think that's at the root of the issue.

I am disappointed that I will not get to see what your village looks like, but will endeavor to enter the next Exam. Enclosed are some ribbons edged with seed pearls, left over from a commission the shop recently finished. They are too short to really be of much use in tying my hair, but I suppose you can use them for the Abomination.

There is also a sealed flask of scentless oil, for maintenance on the jacket I previously sent you. Instructions are attached.

Hokage-Sama,

Regarding the recent mission... I sincerely apologize. I don't know if Sasuke-senpai put it on the statement, but he was only injured because I froze in the face of our enemies. He nearly died because of me, and I want to assume full responsibility for that.

That being said, there's something else I want to bring up. I want specialized training in genjutsu and fear-intensive combat. I don't want anything like that to happen again, and if I could call on you to help me take the right steps to do that, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

[ That letter seems so stiff and formal, and... She doesn't feel entirely like herself in the letter, reading it over and over. But, at the same time, she knows that's what she needs to do. She still feels awful, like she can't apologize enough over what happened -- but if she really was sorry, she'd take steps to never let it happen again. She'd never let her fear take over again... She'd never be such a coward again. Couldn't afford to be.

That was when she made sure to send the missive to Obito, lying in her bed as she waited somewhat anxiously for a response. ]

Adela,

It's my hope this finds you in good health.

I apologize for my inability to write a substantial letter, but pressing matters consume much of my time at present. I would like to extend an invitation to you for a casual visit, but that is unfortunately not a possibility.


Rather than that, has your forge been faring well? If you would indulge idle curiosity, I am curious of how you fare.
