I understood the ideals. I never said anything about liking or loving. They are the ideals of a respectable person. I dont know why you find it so hard to understand me sometimes.

Vote B
Apologize to her, about her sister, and the genjutsu. Take responsibility. Explain that nothing can take back what you've done, and that you don't expect her to forgive you. Give her the locket, if we didn't already.
While I'm debating telling her of our past.... I think it's too early for that. We'll give her snippets as we progress. We'll slowly try to make her understand that we are just like her... flawed.... human.
Observation: It seems that Kurotsuchi is jealous.... Our character could get some.... interesting opportunities.

No I literally mean that I didn't get it across the way I wanted. But it's too late, so I'll just try to expand on it later.

Then why mention the liking or loving of her(which should be decided by US anyway), when all I mentioned were his ideals? You may not have elaborated, but what you DID explain is enough for this conversation

Alright, well you'll have the chance to expand on it yet.

lol, silly man. She'd hate us even more if we did that earlier. We'd be a creeper right now and shed never agree to come with us.

You walk up to her. You would have to convince her somehow, despite all that you had done. “Hey listen…I-I…I’m, uh, sorry.” It’s awkward to offer such a simple apology and she doesn’t seem to respond.
“I really didn’t want to…kill anyone. And, I, shouldn’t have used that genjutsu on you.”
She turned her head away, staring away at the ground. You sheepishly move up, knowing she could lash out. “And I’m sorry about your sister. I…” You would have said, I didn’t know but what would that matter? After all, in reality you had tried to kill all of them with that jutsu of yours.
She sharply locks onto your eyes, her own eyes moist. Yet on the inside they are clearly filled with fire – hatred. “Why did you ‘save’ me?”
You take one step back. “I…I, uh.” Her expression only grows fiercer.
“Why did you save me! I’m the enemy! What are you? Some sort of freak? Did you think if you spared me I’d be thankful? FUCK YOU!” Her shout seems to rouse the other patients, murmurs, though you don’t look away from her.
At first you whisper, “I’m sick of it.”
She throws some sort of tray at you but you take it.
“I’m sick of it…” This time in a bolder voice. “I’m sick of being a ninja, I’m sick of this.” You wave your arms, trying to gesture at everything. “I’m sick of seeing all my friends die, watching my world…dissolve, without knowing why or how.”
She only glared at that, “What the fuck does that have to do with me!” She screams, silencing the room.
“I don’t want to see you become someone like me. Please.” Your voice now calmer.
“Too late!” She turned away.
“I know…that. You lost your family. But don’t just, throw away your future. If you continue on the path of a ninja…you’ll have to face what you did in the forest every day!”
In your mind, you try to piece together your thoughts, to convince her, yet at the same time it feels like nothing makes sense. You feel like a hypocrite, just babbling on about some semblance of morals and humanity. But somehow, she seems to listen, now tearing up.
“Let me…save you.” You felt terrible.
---
Dusk, the sun was falling and the moon slowly phasing into existence.
Still in the hospital robe, she somehow decided to come. You don’t really know why. Who knows…maybe she would plan to kill you.
You walk through the streets, littered with passerby and vending carts, selling food or small trinkets. The real shops were the boundaries.
“Let’s get something to eat…I don’t have anything at home.” You hardly ever had anything at home, maybe leftovers from delivery or take out, but there was never any time. You point out a restaurant, your favorite in fact. She follows, but she had been very quiet since you left.
You push aside the foil banners that cut the view from the street into the shop only to find…Kurotsuchi and Akatsuchi, winged by two other ninja, Aoi and Furui. Aoi had short black hair, in a very natural style, an average face, but his eyes were slender and sharp like a fox. He wore his headband tied around his neck. Karu’s only unique feature was his curly hair, it was definitely…rare and interesting. Aoi was more interested in his rice, though Furui turned to smile in greetings.
“OI! Izen you c-“, the girl walks in after you, leaving Kurotsuchi speechless. “Oh.”
Akatsuchi chimed in, “Oh Izen, is that your girlfriend?” Everyone turns to her.
“No…she’s not.”You denied.
“Oh, so she’s just a friend?”, Akatsuchi asks. You stay silent.
“Akatsuchi, stop. That’s rude!” Kurotsuchi always seemed to reel Akatsuchi back in when necessary. Thankfully.
You sit next on the stool next to Furui, the girl follows.
“Order anything you like”, you offer, but she just looks through down at the counter. This wasn’t exactly working. She is probably hungry, since it was already closing on night, and the hospital served lunch at 1 or so. You realize, perhaps it would have been better to leave her at the hospital, she’d probably be in better care. You sigh.
“Hey Chef! She’ll have what I’m having”, someone was chiming in on your account. Who else but Kurotsuchi.
“Alright!” Gintoki, the chef and proprietor of the restaurant responds by tossing hot rice in a bowl and then laying on a black sauce. Rice and black bean sauce. He places it infront of the red head and reluctantly, she tries it.
You glance to see her actually eating, before turning to Gintoki to order something for yourself. “Hey Gin, can I get the usual?”
“Gotcha!” He turns and goes into his back room, where he usually has some big stuff cooking. Before too long he comes out with a bowl full of white stew. You pull it closer after Gintoki places it on the counter. “Thanks.”
“That’s been stewing all day! The longer the better right?”
“Yea, no doubt”, you respond as you add salt into the bowl. You grab a pair of chopsticks and pull out a bone, lamb meat stuck to the end. You chow down, put shortly.
The others had left earlier, saying their goodbyes. You finish not too long after, and wait for the girl to finish as well, though she seems to leave it half-finished.
What next? Oh…she needs clothes…though it is pretty late now. Maybe the apartment is better. Or maybe something fun to try and lighten the mood.
A) Go to your apartment
B) Go buy her some clothes, she’s still in her regular clothes
C) Take her to do something (suggestions).
Hint, one is plot, one is romance
TBH, I didn't mean to add Kurotsuchi as a possible "interest" but I think I like Vegeta's idea lol. Plus I think it's more plausible than red head w/ haterade, but really it's up to you guys.

Btw, who's reiz? What CYOA is that from?

Post by Yushinoki on Feb 6, 2011 17:49:48 GMT
Reiz is the main character from Tipster's CYOA (it's under "Rice Country"), the first CYOA on the Naruto boards.

Post by someclown911 on Feb 6, 2011 17:52:00 GMT
OG Tips' CYOA that started this whole thing. The MC was Reiz and his romantic interest was Kurotsuchi. They went from smashing their teeth together in an awkward first kiss to making the bed rock in record time.

No way! Is Tipster's also set in Iwagakure?

Post by Yushinoki on Feb 6, 2011 17:54:02 GMT
Not really, Reiz used Iwa as a base for a while, but it' not really set in one place.
Oh, and for the vote: B.

Post by vegeta on Feb 6, 2011 18:00:42 GMT
My first thought is that A is plot and B is romance. But then again, she has no other clothes besides the hospital ones. That might lead her to "borrow some of Izen's." Or she might want to take a shower or something... I don't know. We have a 50/50 chance either way.
B vote

Both of you finished and begin walking through the streets again. You think about heading to your apartment but decide it’d be better to buy her new clothes first. “Hey, let’s get you some real clothes. Sorry but they didn’t give me your uniform back.”
She was looking away, to the shops and vendors. You decide to just lead her to a cloth store. The store isn’t very large, but more spacious than it looks from the outside. It has a good variety needless to say, most of which is handmade, unlike other places.
You both enter as the owner greets. “Get anything you want I guess.”
She comes up with
1) A simple dress
2) Shirt/pants, nothing special
3) Something provocative
“Oh. Did you get your locket?” This time she turns to you and stares with a bored expression, probably signifying that she did. You notice she’s not putting them, only carrying them. You conclude that she would want to take a shower first.
You pay for the clothes and leave. But the shopkeeper remarks, “Have fun you two!” Implying she thinks you two are in a relationship. You wince at it. What should have been an awkward comedy was strangely disturbing, given the circumstances.
You take the girl straight to your apartment, part of a small complex, 5 stories. You’re on the 2nd. You ring yourself in and go up.
“Feel free to take a shower…” You realize that you yourself need a shower, smelling like medicine or chemicals or whatever they used, it smelled bad to say the least. You point out the bathroom and watch her enter before tossing yourself to your sofa. You hear the water running, but you notice the door is still partially open. Eh?
A) Peak inside
B) Go close the door
C) Just leave it alone and go to sleep again, you still feel tired and ache all over.
Clothing was a filler option lol. Also, hmm, Clown, I think I’ll leave the Kurotsuchi thing open unless Tipster and I decide to combine our CYOA powers and become Ultra Cactus Tipster. So expect a few options in the near future.
