Akimichi Chouji ([personal profile] 16autumnroad) wrote2013-09-22 01:13 pm

[Action, 9/21-9/25] Level 1 Event

[The 21st]
Anything but a morning person, Chouji wakes up slowly. When he finally stretches and pulls himself out of bed, he freezes. This isn't his room. "Tou-chan! Kaa-chan!" He claps a hand over his mouth after the yell, realizing that if they aren't here, he isn't sure he wants to know who is. Chouji looks around the room, seeing a forehead protector placed on the dresser, right in the middle as if waiting to be put on. It's a ninja's room, then. He picks it up, looks at the symbol, a kanji rather than the Konoha leaf. Not a good sign, given that Chouji has absolutely no idea what village uses a symbol like that.

Things deteriorate from there. If anyone heard the yell and comes to investigate, they'll find a very apprehensive six year old, possibly armed with a kunai if he's found his older self's weapons stash.

When he does get up the nerve to leave the room and explore the floor, he tries to sneak around unnoticed, but it's the equivalent of playing ninja. On a floor of fully fledged ones. None of his attempts are likely to be successful. Anyone in Community Housing 1 is welcome to catch him out during his lackluster attempts at stealth.

22nd-25th
Other days, now that things have been explained to him, Chouji looks for food and will be pleasantly surprised by any new friends. He can probably be found at the convenience store and bakery for snacks, Seventh Heaven for a meal or two, and at the playground by the school playing on his own.

Or pretty much anywhere as long as it isn't in someone else's house. He stays out of the residences. He's open to tagging along after people he met on the first day so handwaving first meetings is also okay.

[Although there is a functioning elevator, Konan generally only bothers with it when she's bringing groceries home. Otherwise, she either takes the stairs or makes use of her paper wings.

Today in the stairwell, she spots the small boy with a kunai in hand. She's kept out of the way of the Konoha shinobi for the most part, but she is on speaking terms with a few of them and she's aware of the others that she doesn't speak with. She recognizes the marks on the boy's cheeks. Still, he looks jumpy enough as is. She decides to try to avoid alarming him.
]

Hello. Are you lost?

caterpillarninja: (...what? / stare)

Community housing 1, stairwell (of course)

[personal profile] caterpillarninja 2013-09-23 03:19 am (UTC)(link)
[Chouji isn't quite ready to trust strangers he finds in the stairwell, and he freezes when Konan catches him sneaking down it.]

I'm not! [He insists very unconvincingly as he looks to see if she's wearing a forehead protector that might tell him anything.]

What's your name and where are you from? [Maybe if he just asks where she's from rather than where they are, she'll believe Chouji's blatant lie. Yeah. He's going to be a ninja someday, he can start practicing the art of deception now! It could work. ...If he's really lucky or she's really gullible.

Neither of those seems likely today.]
origami_ninja: (amused)

[personal profile] origami_ninja 2013-09-24 09:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[There's no forehead protector on her, or any way of telling that she's a shinobi aside from the way that she moves. It's not a convincing lie at all, but she doesn't call him out on it. She's not here to be mean to the boy.]

My name is Konan and I live on the seventh floor of this building.

[Of course, that doesn't mean she's going to volunteer more than basic information until he admits to the truth.]
caterpillarninja: (wide-eyed)

[personal profile] caterpillarninja 2013-09-25 04:55 pm (UTC)(link)
The building has seven floors? [He doesn't realize until after asking that the question reveals he has no idea what building he's in, let alone what village.]

My name is Chouji.

[Fine, he'll give up.]

...Where are we?

[personal profile] therewerefifty 2013-09-23 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
[There's another girl at the playground, though she's not using it-- she was sort of sitting on the bench and watching the equipment with curiosity. But now there's a little boy here, her curious gaze will switch to him.]
caterpillarninja: (a little hopeful)

[personal profile] caterpillarninja 2013-09-23 03:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[Chouji has spent enough time sitting off on the sidelines of playgrounds that he doesn't like seeing anyone else do the same. And besides, he'd rather have someone to play with.

A part of him is concerned that like the kids in Konoha, she won't want to play with him. But then, maybe she thinks the same thing.]


Hello! I'm Chouji. Did you want to come play?
therewerefifty: (child - okay that was unexpected)

[personal profile] therewerefifty 2013-09-23 04:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[Playing is something that passes the time, so why not? But Makie tilts her head, looking dubiously at the playground equipment.]

teachingpeace: (ZZ- Confused)

Community Housing 1, How about another kid doing about the same?

[personal profile] teachingpeace 2013-09-23 05:10 pm (UTC)(link)
He was creeping back up to investigate the room he'd woken in himself, so he last thing he'd expected was to run into another child, no matter what the reason. It's enough to have him half ducking behind a wall and peeking around it. "Hello?"
caterpillarninja: (wide-eyed)

Community Housing 1, And so begins our army of skittish but adorable children.

[personal profile] caterpillarninja 2013-09-23 07:57 pm (UTC)(link)
"Hello." At least Nagato sounds just as nervous and hesitant as Chouji feels. Plus he's about Chouji's age. Both of those things make him seem less threatening. "Do you know what's going on here?"
teachingpeace: (ZZ- Thinking)

Yes! most adorable bebes!

[personal profile] teachingpeace 2013-09-23 11:56 pm (UTC)(link)
He hesitated, then slowly crept around the corner. "I... thought it was maybe a dream but I'm not so sure now."

Why spend all your time at the playground alone, Chouji? Just look at this 12-year old bald monk kid sitting on the ground while playing around with a small ball of air. Have you ever seen anything cooler?
caterpillarninja: (grin)

23rd!

[personal profile] caterpillarninja 2013-09-23 08:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Chouji's eyes light up at the sight. He hasn't seen that technique before.

"I like your wind jutsu! Is it a clan technique, or did you make it up yourself?" If Aang made up his own jutsu, he may have a new admiring fan.

When Chouji comes into the hallway, he may hear some shouting from just a little further down.

"Who is there? Show yourself!"
caterpillarninja: (happy)

[personal profile] caterpillarninja 2013-09-23 08:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Chouji knows better than to believe he can stay hidden. He isn't a ninja, not yet. He shuffles into view, understandably a little nervous about the vehement demand.

"It's Akimichi Chouji," he begins, and then a smile of relief spreads across his face at the sight of the forehead protector around Lee's waist, "of Konoha's Akimichi clan."
nicekidpose: (thumbs up)

[personal profile] nicekidpose 2013-09-23 09:14 pm (UTC)(link)
"Ah! So you are also of Konoha!" And so young that Lee doubts he is an opponent for the chunin exams. Rather, he seems that someone who should be protected. The Akimichi clan is well known, after all. "My name is Rock Lee! I am Konoha's Beautiful Green Wild Beast!"

[Oh, it's... a tiny Chouji.

Itachi has been doing his best to avoid people since this started, as he already knew things would only go downhill if he ran into his brother and he'd been affected. (Unless he was as young as Chouji was here... but he isn't going to count on that.) However, sometimes errands must be run.

He's unable to keep himself from stopping and greeting the boy.]

There are nice people in the building where I woke up yesterday, though.

[ As one of the People Who Remembers Stuff, Prim's picking up extra shifts for the time being, on the grounds that - well, she's already aware Makie, at least, is younger. And a few other people don't remember anything about working at the restaurant...So, well. She may as well help out more.

At least mecha Sanji always remembers stuff. Good old crazy robot.

So when Chouji comes in, she'll look up automatically from the hostess stand to offer to seat the newcomer. ]

Chouji, needless to say, has not shown up for his shifts at Seventh Heaven. When he walks in the door looking for lunch, he wonders why she stops halfway through asking where to seat him. Chouji knows he doesn't recognize her.

He waves hello, telling Prim, "It's just me."

It definitely does explain why he didn't show up to his shifts - though Prim had pretty much assumed half the people she knew (if not more) had simply been effected by whatever-it-was.

"In that case, right this way." ...It's just me can have a few meanings, but he probably doesn't mean the one that includes recognizing her, just now. "Have you ever been here before?"

There. That should...work. For asking.
