|RL|- Even though Ranta seemed disinterested in what they were talking about, he made sure to take tabs and thoroughly inspect over each answer as it was given. Just like Naraku to start off the charge, he mentioned something about turning them against one another. A decent plan for a small percentage of situations but it wasn’t good enough to encompass the entire situation. It was clear he preferred the path of least resistance in a fight and likes to turn allies against another through whatever method he could muster. “Nice analogy Naraku.” He said as he finished speaking about the greedy horse and poisoned water.

Taka was the first to present the multiple options that the situation offered on a whim, he had a lot of room for improvement on this mind but he surely had the potential off the bat to become a smart cookie. He mentioned something of flinching or using a technique that’d capture their attention long enough to escape the situation. But to Ranta’s pleasure he mentioned the golden rule of the entire situation in which he hoped all three of them would take note of, Ranta immediately after Takahiro would say it, he would speak.

'''“Bingo, you are a team and cannot abandon one another. This is the golden rule of Team Instinct, no matter the odds. Teamwork and cooperation can overcome it all. Just look at me and my puppets, I’d be nothing without them just like you’d be nothing without one another.” '''

Takahiro then completed his spiel with a coulda shoulda woulda scenario showing the inexperience and hesitation in his answer. But he did mention drawing them into a better playing field for the team. Takahiro is more of a guerrilla fighter from the sounds of it, he prefers to split things apart which in turn makes them weaker and easier to take care of, also he prefers distance and area of effect techniques to boot. Good we need one of those Ranta thought to himself.

When Shinra finally took his turn to speak one of the first things he mentioned was wanting to inspect his puppets and find a way to improve them not only for Ranta’s use but for the team in general. Ranta looked to his direction and spoke, “Good way to think on your feet. But these puppets are special to me, it’ll require some time and a strong layer of trust before I allow you to lay a finger on them. Just so the line is clear.”

Just like Ranta expected Shinra would speak from the tongue of experience, of course they may have a better bond which will only anger them with Naraku’s situational choice. He did bring up a good point about their status of hunger or maybe just money hungry. Greed is a big driving force in the shinobi world, ryo is a big part of any village. He complimented Takahiro’s idea which was a nice sentiment but he also mentioned them having more layers behind them as well. Which is very well possible in many situations. Then Shinra brought a unique personal perspective to the table, people dress like how they fight or fight like the equipment they possess. Even if it was just a theory there was some proof behind the madness.

So, seeing as they see had not reached an answer Ranta spoke, “So we have witty bruiser fighter in Naraku, Guerilla tactic fighter in Takahiro and an aggressive possibly tactician in Shinra. Then there is me, Sounds like a good combo. But one thing you forget is.” He took a short pause to let the tension rise in the room. “Time constraints, in this real situation you wouldn’t have this long to answer. You’d have to act quick. So, I’ll ask the same question once again. But now I need an answer in a minute. Go.”

Ranta hit a timer that was in his lap set for 60 seconds and with each second it made a ticking sound, only further reminding them that they had to hurry up. - |RL|
