Cosmos Quest (Naruto/Lupin III)

Buggeration! I have good stuff planned for the Finals-Training arc that I wanna get to.

Guess I'll go update NEIOU and RRoK. :)
 
Hymn is in favor of drawing the fight towards a bathhouse and tricking Temari into blowing the ANBU in, The Nobody at last count wanted a running fight sans bathhouse, Uju's in favor of impersonating Chouza, and I'm not sure where exactly Guile stands at the moment.

Discussion seems to have died down, though. Unless someone would like to change that, formalizing plans into votes is the next step.
 
Meh. Think we'll just end up deadlocked on the 'how seriously do we take this' issue.

Eh, more how much do we worry about potential consequences that could occur from this.

Frankly I thought this could slide into disaster from the minute we encouraged the fight, but if Furiko's letting everyone in-universe let it ride...
 
[X] "Well, guess I'm on the clock, then!" Slip into the fracas. It is 10 vs 2, so we'll start out on Sakkun's team.
[X] Use speed, stealth and general Lupin-ness to KO and replace one of the chuunin. Then, using genjutsu, have one of Konoha's Finest assume Sakkun's form. Then genjutsu Sakkun into someone else.
Have a mask under our henge, say, of Sakkun? I doubt we have a Gaara mask (yet). Then,
[X] If we are caught under the henge, it will be of a second Sakkun. Cite that the battle was Gaara/Sakkun vs the Elite, it was never specified how many Sakkun there were (the plural of Sakkun is also Sakkun). Sophistry is your friend. If we aren't, use the Sakkun mask as a prop later to cheap-shot Gaara and break up the band.
[X] Nothing too nasty when it comes time to the backstab. Maybe just something a man like Gaara would be uncomfortable receiving from another boy? Ami's jealousy would probably allow her to Righteous Rage up and 1HKO Gaara for us. Then we could tagteam up with Sakkun and deal with the ANBU.


I'm not sure about this plan, but if we're operating off wacky hijinks right now, it might work.

Really, the only other thing I can think we could do is yell "Take it to the streets" and boot someone out the nearest window.
 
Honestly I think that original plan was pretty weak compared to other ideas. As far as Furiko liking stuff goes I think she liked Tormageous' idea of strategically placed bathhouses? Hence why I have a good feeling about that one.

That, and anything that says OHKO Gaante makes me go 'what'. Ami, the PC, suddenly KOing Gaante? That has lasting consequences since she's a recurring character. One who may yet tangle with Gaante in the ring. Easier for nameless NPCs to pull that stuff out of left field, especially when Furiko has to adhere to her own canon with the bathhouses.

Reiterating.
I firmly believe that taking this to the streets is a recipe for disaster, in multiple ways.
It's one thing to turn a blind eye to a barroom brawl, even one involving a WMD from a foreign power; it's still on private property after all, and can be officially overlooked, especially if the proprietor does not make a complaint.
It's quite another to have said brawl roll through the freaking streets.

Even permissive as Konoha is portrayed, there WILL be serious consequences for the Konoha genin who helped instigate it, if for no other reason than to set a precedent.
I mean, if Ino got away with it, the story would be special treatment because of her status as clan heir, especially the next time some other genin or chuunin got inebriated and took it to the streets.
That kind of sentiment is something that can't be allowed to fester in a village made up of ninja clans.
And that's assuming the fight itself ended without complications.

Do you want to spend half our pre-Finals time doing scut work as punishment?
What of not making chuunin, and missing out on chuunin level intel feeds, because our judgement was called into question when the promotion board decided to deliberate?
The juice is not worth the squeeze; end it here.

I will agree with Hymn that anyone suggesting a OHKO of Gaara is out of their freaking minds.
Look at the amount of damage required to put down a jinchuuriki in canon, even before the Shippuden escalation in power levels.
Then remember that Gaara is stronger than that.
Anyone who expects Ino to stop Gaara outside an arena without recourse to several years of preparation, lethal techniques and massive amounts of collateral damage has not been paying attention.
 
Well, that brings my vote up to 3, and Ranma 1/2 bathhouse hijinx up to 3, I think?

Not exactly commanding leads, either of them.

Edit: well, the Ani feminine rage KO is just an idea. What else we got to deal with Gaante? I'm not sure about trying to Shintenshin Monster-boy.

Counting you, your vote's got 2. The Nobody just voted for your description of the bathhouse plan, though whether or not he wanted the bathhouse as a destination is ambiguous.
 
I'm not sure the whole bathhouse thing would cost us the promotion.
 
Then it seems we're taking this fight to the bathhouses.

Jiraiya would be proud!

Edit: if you're worried uju, a z-slash would probably ensure smooth sailing.

It should.
Especially given that this is a seinenish take on a shounen tale.
It really, really should.

If Anko is getting threatened with loss of sensei privileges for non-obvious hints after the exams, and the chuunin we gypped out of extra scrolls are losing mission pay, leading a brawl with an inebriated foreign S-ranker into the streets of Konoha when you are trying to exhibit good enough judgement to get you promoted?
Should lose you that promotion.
Minimum.

It might prevent immediate complications.
It won't stop the hammer falling later.

I won't get into the possible social ramifications, what with 2/3rds of Team Nurse and Team Gai, and 1/3 of Team Asuma, being hospitalized while this happens.

I'm pretty sure gaara's not drunk.

Depends on whether his demonic constitution lets him get drunk or not I guess, because he'd been knocking back daiquiries one after another, and Gaara isn't exactly a big guy.

And there's no way Ino would know that.
Especially after the heroic amounts of liquor he has put away in front of her.
That's what any board would be investigating.

They wouldn't expect her to know he was a jinch, or what that meant(probably), but they would damn well expect her to remember that a jounin-sensei called him an S-class threat.

Feeding him liquor and then involving him in a brawl which we then proceed to draw into civilian territory?
That's irresponsible at best.
Note that Neji dodged a kunai to the head, and he was on the sidelines.
You want to take this kind of engagement where civilians are?

Hell even if we stopped it now I would still expect a scathing review by Asuma, like we got after poking at the genjutsu on Nabiki's escort.
 
Jesus fuck if it'll get people's panties untwisted and it's needed to wrap this up properly I'll put the Z-Slash down for bathhouse chaos.

Furiko do you need a big plan or do you get the idea of how we want this to go down in order to finish this up?

If so and you need it now, it's on someone else's head. I'm goin' to bed.

Never mind your right.

I quote:
Gaara drinks his daiquiris without the straw, throwing back the ice, sugar and rum as though he's never heard the words 'brain freeze' in his life. He gestures at Ami with a garnishing cherry. "You seriously know how to have a good time, you know that?"

That suggests he's had multiple.
Given that he's about our size, you would expect inebriation, barring any jinch shenanigans.

EDIT
Ninjas.Ninjas everywhere.

I bet he has major issues getting drunk. Half devil regeneration must suck balls.

Not quite as bad as Captain America's, but yeah, liquor, wine and variations on paint-thinner mixed with orange juice are the only way to get his drink on in a timely fashion.

Explains why he's tossing them back so fast.
 
If people are throwing out Z-slashes I'll go with their vote. I'm still not sure how we got into this mess but I'm partial to just letting it take its course.

Granted I'd also like to see the bathhouse hijinks too so whatever works honestly.

I'm okay with a bathhouse, if it involves a Ranma-style running fight.

Honestly, if Gaara's been knocking them back as much as you imply he has, then he should either be dead or he possesses a truly inhuman constitution. And right now he's still good to throw down with ANBU jounin.

Smart money says any buzz he has doesn't even last through the fight.

And seriously, would you need some kind of write-up? I might have some time tonight. Although if there's some specific way you want this to go down or not go down, ya might wanna tone trolling GM bit and maybe give some nudges. At least give us an idea of how much Rule of Funny/Cool is in effect here.
