Well, in the meantime, you get to write about children visiting a strip club without breaking SV's rules and ending the quest by getting banned. Good luck.

As long as whatever chicanery is implied and not stated or described gratuitiously then I think we'll be fine.
That sort of thing can be taken care of with a comment to the effect of "Hazou blushed profusely and very pointedly avoided staring at any of the dancers." or something like that. I dont think that runs afoul of the rules, thats still heavily PG 13.
Maybe @eaglejarl should run anything to that effect through the mods anyway but I think the fact that its likely not even going to be one chapter in almost a million word work with 200 chapters and innumerable interludes etc would be enough context to be cleared as "Not porn."

So, at some point I began assuming that Snek Uncle was going to be an obvious Quirrelmort expy. I don't remember why I assumed this though.
@eaglejarl - you want us to vote for a plan here, or are you just gonna write up the plan we already came up with? I figure you can probably get to the "Come at us if you dare" speech for the rest day if you want, since it's not like we're likely to have super detailed plans for that day. (make seals, goad red teams seems suitable, tbh)
- Location
- Yes.
I love that everybody is assuming that he's tracking down Akatsuki instead of The Watchers or something worse. Insufficient pessimism.
It shouldn't be hard to just focus on the drama.
-everybody does realize that the authors have been setting things up so that J and Team A will end up running into Team "Boys Suck!" on their girls night out in explosive circumstances while everybody is drunk and Leaf is under a double indemnity clause, right?

No, because Team "Boys Suck!" happened before the Fifth Event started?
Huh, you're right. Seems like a bit of a missed opportunity.
Of course, that just means that the authors must be planning something even more evil.
- Location
- Yes.
Why is that always the assumption? That the authors have to be planning something evil? I bet eaglejarl is sad now

Team Boys Suck! is at an inn that was rented out by Ino.Im not sure when this happened chronologically but I doubt that Ren would let Ino et all out of the barracks between rounds without Jiraiyas direct supervision.
Jiraiya is also taking Red Team One to a strip club. Dont think these will coincide.
@eaglejarl depends on what you want to do here but I think we were waiting on some tactical info before we decided what exactly needs doing on the rest day.
If you want to just have us retroactively vote for that too (since getting all those spoons together to answer @faflec 's Big Question about Team Comp may not be feasible by sunday) in a suggestion box in the following update, Id be cool with adding rest day into this one if you really wanna write the speech.
Modulo us making some minor additions to the Already Large Plan, of course.

He was knocked out in the fight that caused the clan to be formed - it's not that he's just waking up and the Goketsu were already a thing, it's that this was a flashback and Zabuza's been running around free for months now.

I bet he's kicking himself for not lining up the nights out and patiently waiting for the players to forget to explicitly round up and secure the unexpended seals left over from the event.
-and forget to explicitly dismiss the pangolins and toads before beginning the festivities.
Naw. A flashback chapter would start with Captain Zabuza flashbacking in the middle of a battle/escape attempt from Akatsuki, carrying Yukino's injured body.
Also, the chapter would be marked as obviously black from the usual "white chapter".
But clearly this is not what's happening.

Human experimentation seems to be a touchy topic, so first thing on this path is animal tests. Noburi, as an aspiring chakra beast-spec mednin, could get some interesting data by feeding chakra water to regular animals and chakra beasts.

Its stated he woke up "a few weeks after" the battle.
We're approaching two months of J's Hokage tenure IIRC.
Obligatory:
ZABUZA KILLED MINAMI AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH
I already find MfD Orochimaru a more compelling character. The problem with Quirrelmort is that it was
Just another mask by an emotionless, extremely competent ,sociopathic but otherwise bland version of Tom Riddle.
Sure, Quirrelmort is contextually interesting in a way that fits the narrative framework of HPMOR, but
Since we are never really given any indication that Tom Riddle gave a shit about something that wasnt his own immortality, growing his XP pool, or alleviating his boredom, it sort of leaves a stale taste in ones mouth in retrospect.
You are left wondering if any of the tendencies or moments he displays as Quirrelmort are anything more than blatant manipulation. Now, this is a very intriguing development as a whole, but I find this revelation rather sours the character of Quirrelmort.
Just my take.

I dont really think thats where the QMs would go with Oro's character.

Can we assume we have a sufficient amount of ninja wire for all trapmaking purposes?
(Edit: Within reason. i.e. nothing that requires ~10 miles of ninja wire or something ridiculous.)

Probably. Worst case we can just say you burn an FP to declare there's a storage seal with 100kg of it.
- Location
- Yes.
Each of us (Team Gōketsu) has 3 storage scrolls (100kg each) worth of "camping and misc ninja supplies". I wouldn't be surprised if we had a fuckton of ninja wire, even if it's not 100kg worth.

I dont really anticipate using more than a few hundred meters worth in aggregate (even accounting for clever traps) so its probably a moot point.
Wanted to have Hazou tie some up in strips for double the strength so that the clever Goo Bomb + Force Wall pits can be done with little risk of wire breaking
