As per her usual routine, Sup Pung had already been wide awake when she got her first letter for a mission as a Konoha Shinobi. She smirked wide, finally feeling some semblance of acceptance in being here. After reading over what the mission entailed, she couldn't help but laugh.

It was truly cathartic that the mission involved finding plants that had not yet perished against the unknown epidemic that was plaguing the vegetation around here. At five in the morning, Sup Pung had risen and showered to go out into her blackened garden in an attempt to salvage was left of the plants and herbs she needed to function auxiliary to her powers. Unfortunately, there wasn't much to save since by now, even the grass beyond her yard was also dying. Upon uprooting some of the potatoes she'd laid down....there was nothing to pull up. And the same could be said for nearly everything else, apart from the more toxic flowers and herbs she'd use for making poisons and their accompanying antidotes. Sup Pung was on her knees yanking out those stubborn few atropines when the messenger came by to deliver her letter.

She was a bit tired, sweaty and caked up to her elbows in dirt and dead grass. The trifecta of a GREAT start to her day. Taking the letter under her arm, Sup Pung pulled off her gardening gloves and went to plop down into a chair on her big back porch to read it. Of course, if she was getting a letter this early in the morning, the likelihood of her having to leave for it within a few hours was pretty high, so she went ahead and made herself some breakfast to enjoy while she read it. That breakfast being coffee and a cigarette. "....I need to fuckin' quit while I'm ahead." Sup Pung groaned huskily while taking her first drag of a clove and opening the letter. After reading it over,  she stifled back a chuckle and got up, disappearing into the house. She took a few more puffs before mashing the cigarette butt into her hand, dropping it and stripping off her clothes in a trail to the shower.

Sup Pung didn't really have much to pack since it had already been done for her. Her goat, Boche was saddled up with empty sacks and containers for collecting and Sup Pung strapped on one of her large scrolls that was filled with food and meds for the journey. The only real preparation that needed handling was arming her bird, Torvie, with a small message clip to its leg in case things got hairy and she needed to dispatch it for outer communication. It took her about a half hour of ripping open boxes that she still had yet to unpack before finding it, and after loading it with some fresh miniature parchment, she was off.

She had was about halfway to the front of the village when Hayato came and found her. Before she could really greet him, he instructed her to meet him at the village gate before dissolving into smoke. "Ha. People and their clones..." This worked out perfectly though, since she was headed in that general direction there.

Upon arriving, she saw that Hayato was there as promised and smoking. "Yo." She said in response to him while coming up and snagging the cigarette from his hand and took one final drag it could offer before ultimately being mashed out. "So it said you're the leader, any particular route you're thinking of taking by this point?" While they waited for Munashi, she took a seat right upon Boche's backside. The small white goat whinnied his disapproval, but she rolled her eyes and ignored it, wasn't he used to shit by now? "There's a willow orchard a few miles from here that I think we should hit up, so that's one place to consider."
