[X] Action Plan: A Day to Do Things.

I guarantee you those bug-control bloodline people study agriculture. They control bugs. A world where they aren't at least smart enough to leverage this into selective breeding crops and analyzing the results is one where they aren't smart enough to have not already been wiped out by the others. They're probably halfway to chakra cabbages that fly and attack in swarms like in Konasuba, or chakra grass that works like Nobiru's barrel by having the grasshoppers eat it and then return the energy to their body.

Good point. I would suggest breeding chakra beasts, but I feel like Kagome's lung capacity would be well suited to answering that question. :p
 
@MMKII

Can you add a bit to the section with Lee in it that includes respectfully confronting him about his innuendos? Hazou as a character just made a commitment to working on better communication to resolve niggling issues up front, and we as a hive mind always want better Hazou communication. Let's put our money where our mouth is in a relatively low-risk but still somewhat socially difficult situation. Also I'm genuinely curious what he'll say!

    • Casino Seals
      • We're trying to eventually fine tune these into decent chakra detecting seals.

    • Mountain Seals
      • What the hell do these do!?
  • In general, just blow some shit up for the hell of it.
  • Debrief Jiraiya on the remainder of our plan
    • Is it prudent to invite Neji to game night?
      • Is he still grounded?
  • The three of them go out to get ramen afterwards.
    • That Ichiraku Ramen place looks good...
Training from Hell
  • Team Uplift delivers the game night invitations
    • The ground is lava!
      • They must chakra adhere to other surfaces or bounce off of clones/themselves/use jutsu to avoid touching the ground.

Is this supposed to literally fit in one day of in-game time?

That sounds like an issue large enough that it creates an extra scene worth of writing to me. Not something that can be done with just a line or two.

Likewise IMO Lees Innuendo is an issue thats so far down the list of "Shit we need to accomplish with this plan." that I don't really feel like considering it if thats the case.

Chiefly, this is supposed to give Hazou a good outlet for his current feelings (work it out by punching the shit out of everything and getting a good workout in, then they can have fun at Game Night) while furthering some stuff we want to get done(research, training, interact with clanless nin a la Nakano and Gia/Lee/Tentent/Kakashi).

Perhaps my mental model of how much time each of these is going to take is a bit skewed, but I allocated ~5 hours for each large block, roughly speaking, starting whenever Hazou wakes up...

In retrospect, combining the Punch Everything and Weird Game Night Invitation Delivery things could be much more time consuming than I had thought. If only one of these were present for the nebulous block of time between lunch and dinner/game night, would that be more reasonable?

Honestly we should probably start making plans that take around a week, so we can progress towards the tournament at a reasonable rate.

I got the sense that everyone wanted to do a day by day thing to get a lot of the Shit We Wanted Done, done for 10 days or so, and that the rest would be []Epic Training Montage

I mean...you probably *can* fit all this stuff into one day, but only by short-changing most of it. You're certainly not going to get through more than one of those seals, even if you devote the entire day, much less a few hours. After that you'll need to floor-is-lava all over the village trying to find Nakano et al in order to deliver invitations, then do it again to find various jōnin to spar with. Assuming you can find them in a timely way then each one will need to be convinced, then you fight them for a few minutes, then run on to the next person... I mean, there's a lot of time-intensive stuff here.
 
HAZOU: (looks up from his coffee and sealing notes with bags under his eyes) Oh. Morning Keiko. (slumps over and starts silently crying)

KEI, EXTERNALLY: Morning Hazou.

KEI, INTERNALLY: How did I end up as the most romantically successful person in my family?! Seriously?! What the FUCK?!

You are correct.Hmm...

Hivemind:Do we have a preference on Righteous Face Punching Redux vs Floor is Lava? If we cut Floor is Lava I think I'll just go full steam ahead on "Hazou spars with any Jounin or Chunin he can find in addition to : Lee, Gai, etc."

My internal evaluation of these is that each primary bullet point will take at least a day.

To be clear, it's not the "floor is lava" part that's time-intensive. Wall-running is trivial for experienced ninja and, if anything, will decrease your travel time.
 
Taking @MMKII 's plan which seems reasonable and making it a week instead of a day so we might actually do things well. Should also give us enough down time to reasonably refill our seals, which is important for survival.

Can we add a line in the plans to bake Kakashi some OPSEC Cookies when he gets back? They would just be regular assorted cookies and pastries: Oatmeal, Peanut, Sugar, Eclair, Chocolate... oh, and some Ginger-reeking ones that we accidentally botched up.

Now that we've a reputation to maintain, is there anything that can cause a problem for us if we randomly go around challenging people? (The general tone in the plan seems to be that of a Lee style challenge as in boisterously shouting out the challenge).

Since sparring among fellow ninja is probably common there probably exists some etiquette to be followed.

I give up.

[x] Action Plan: Stress-relief
Edits to my plan:
  • No lava
    • This doesn't do anything and I don't feel like spending time to modify it to be useful
  • No random sparring
    • Rude and innefficient time wise.
  • Just researching casino seals.
  • Just gonna deliver the invites and spar with Lee
  • Put link to @Radvics seal loudout prep that we can hopefully finish within the next day or two.

Are OPSEC cookies cookies that everyone agrees will be a surprise and then Hazo accidentally mentions them?

Edit: All 1s, I win!
