Funny: It was a typical mid-summer day, very few people walked in the streets and those who did typically had a fan with them to spite the hot weather. It was like this all over town, but it seemed some people were enjoying themselves and the few water ninja around took it as an opportunity to show off and create make-shift ponds or waterfalls outside of the village to enjoy a nice, cold swim.

However, there were those who still had to work. Each, for their own reasons; the same going for you and your partner who were ordered to meet at the village gate's. Aside from the guards at the gates, it may have seemed a little strange with how little there was happening. Just outside was a lone caravan with an impatient coach and his two horses stationed in the shade of a great tree then standing between the gate itself was a lone mutt. It had a heavyset coat of gray fur, along with a case of black spectacles that rested on its snout, and lastly a small blue handkerchief around its neck emblazoned with the symbol of Konoha. It sat there, perfectly poised just waiting for something to arrive.

A bit of a strange way to start the day for this mission, but maybe it would lead to a promising adventure?

Cam: Michirama was busy preparing his gear for his first and upcoming mission, checking to make sure his tools were all in good condition and accounted for. [inventory can be found in bio] He spent a majority of his time cleaning and preparing his old and battered katana. When it was finally time to head down to the gates of Konoha he dressed in very light clothing due to the hot weather of the summer days. Instead of his usual jacket he wore a sleevless top with a hood and his konoha headband tie aound his waist. Michirama left home after recieving the typical lecture from his father of "Make the clan proud, make me proud, your duty blah blah blah" Michirama was starting to hate the man. When Michirama arrived at the gates two things caught his attention, the strangely well dressed dog and the horse drawn carriage. How odd, he had expected an Anbu officer or something. He let out a sigh and took a seat beside the carriage as he waited for his partner for this mission "Wonder who it is" he mumbled to himself.

Oni: Masami was currently busy as she went from one place to another while packing and making sure all her tools were in order: 8 kunai, 6 shuriken, 5 senbon, 9 smokebombs, and 16 explosive tags. Once that was all in order, she'd pack a small lunch and seal it into a small scroll as she put it into her medical pouch for later. As soon as it was time to leave, she was all dress in her usual shinobi uniform, [check bio] as she tied her Konoha band around her waist. She would've hugged her mother and father good-bye, as she began to walk to the Konoha gates. This was her first mission! She wondered who was going to be there? Masami looked around the quiet village till she finally arrived at the gates, and sitting next to this beautiful carriage was none other than her friend Michirama. Masami grinned and walked up to him, "Good....morning Michirama..." she'd say, looking down at him. "You're...on this mission too?" she'd ask, hoping she was right. It'd be better if she was someone she knew so she could talk more, communication was essential on a mission!

Funny: When Michirama arrived, the entire time he waited there the gray dog seemed to take interest in him. Its black spectacles shimmering as it seemed to study the genin from the shade. Masami was second to arrive, quickly prompting a conversation between the two that would surely lead to some blossoming dialogue or something along those lines. Before Michirama could ask his question, or better yet respond, a rude voice shouted at the both of them.

"Chotto! Hey, punks; over here!"

If the two partners in crime took a look trying to find it, they'd notice it was coming from the dog itself. As soon as their gaze locked into his own he'd continue into a tirade.

"You squirts wouldn't happen to be the 2 genin heading out on a C-rank mission would you?!"

Despite the fact that there was no one else around or even any high level of activity for this confirmation, the dog asked anyway. It was perhaps a little tense though, his voice was strangely urgent despite the circumstances.

Cam: When Masami arrived and startled Michirama from his pondering he grinned "Masami! Hey" When asked if he was also on the mission he nodded "Yeah, let--" Michirama was cut off by a loud rude voice calling for their attention. He raised an eyebrow at Masami before standing up and looking around, after a comical moment of looking left and then right his purple, ripple patterned eyes landed on the dog, the only possible explanation that wasn't really that possible. WHen asked if they were the "2 squirts on the mission" Michirama nodded slowly "Yeah ... thats uhh .. thats us. Michirama Senju" He pointed to himself "Masami Hyuga" He pointed to Masami. "Uh ... guess we're ready for the mission" Talking to a dog seemed very weird and he couldn't help but feel like he was making a fool of himself, this was going to be a very interesting day.

Oni: Michirama seemed happy to see her, she was glad. Before he could answer her though, a rude voice would've broke them from their conversation. Looking over, she would've seen a...talking....dog... Masami's eyes widened as she visibly got into a shocked stance.

Michirama would've introduced himself before pointing at her and introducing her. Masami would've calmed down then and waved a little. She was so confused on why there was a talking dog, did they all talk? Was he the customer? Hopefully they'd find out.

Funny: "Let's go, let's go!"

the dog got up, having enough time to spin around real quick before leaping straight into the caravan, disappearing behind the screen of cloth that rested over the caravan's top. Willingly or not, once the two finally stepped in the dog was resting on a small crate waiting for them. The dog would immediately turn to face the front where there was an opening, revealing the backside of the coach who would be bringing them out to the mission area.

"Get cracking!"

The dog yelled at the coach who silently responded by tugging on the reins of the horse-drawn caravan, their journey had already begun. The dog turned back to face Masami and Michirama both before beginning to explain itself.

"The name's Tuck, don't wear it out. I'm a proud ninken," Tuck briefly sat up to show his handkerchief before sitting down, "I'm going to keep an eye on you two today. We're going to be heading down south to check out and crush the other punks who've been causing some trouble on a highway- I mean you two will be doing it, I'm just watching in case something goes wrong."

Tuck took a brief pause before continuing, "Y'all got wax in your ears? Speak up!"

The ninken was a little abrupt, but there was a long road ahead of them. If they had any questions to ask, now was the time before they headed out. If not, Tuck would just turn tail and take a rest.

Cam: Before either of them got a chance to talk anymore the dog jumped straight into the caravan. When the dog yelled out Michirama scrambled into the caravan after him and took a seat opposite him. He swayed a bit as the coach took off but listened as the Dog, who introduced himself as Tuck, began to speak and explain what was going on. So Tuck was their supervisor for this mission, the higher ups mustnt consider it a big deal if they didn'ts end someone like an anbu or at least a jounin out with them, that piece of thought filled Michirama with comfort. "So ... Tuck ... what do you actually know about what we are heading to, the notice just told us about some primitive bandits, surely theres more to it than that, yeah?" That would be his question, when or if Tuck decided to answer Michirama would nod and look out the window of the carriage as the world rolled passed them, perhaps it was nerves, but Michirama was clutching his old sword tighter than usual.

Funny: Tuck listened to Michi as he asked about the mission in question, specifically with the brief look over the reports they recieved from survivors.

"Eh... those cupcakes didn't say much. All I know is that they're good for nothing! Don't worry about them, just get ready to beat'm down when you see them. Rotten punks!"

Oni: Without giving them much of a choice, Masami made her way into the caravan and sat on the opposite of the dog as well, next to Michirama. The talking dog would've introduced himself as Tuck and informed them that he was indeed a Ninken. Masami understood why he was talking now, it made perfect sense. His mission was to watch over them as they did their mission, did his owner think they were going to mess up? Who knew.

Michirama would've asked Tuck a question as she sat there silently, she wasn't much of a talker. Tuck would've answered him by saying he knew as much as they do. But their mission was clear: Beat up the punks then head home!

Funny: It seemed like everyone had a good idea of what they needed to do, if there were no more questions Tuck would lay back down and start resting. From there the journey would long and silent unless anyone felt like talking. As they continued down the road, Tuck would keep jumping up every 20 minutes or so with that same urgent energy he always has, probably enough to upset the others before he just said after a bout of silence.

"Just a bird..."
