Hmmm, do you think we can include Yuno in our teatime? If we're swapping idioms and jokes from Mist and Leaf, why not throw Isan in the mix?

- Yes.
Personally, I'd rather we work with Yuno instead of Ino. But that's just me.

Yuno added to teatime, after some discussion on discord.

[X] Action Plan: Flight, Family, and Iron Nerve
Checked stuff and you were right, @Inferno Vulpix. We are able to cozy back up with ISC. Have some thoughts for your plan:
Checked stuff and you were right, @Inferno Vulpix. We are able to cozy back up with ISC. Have some thoughts for your plan:
Are we gonna check this with the clan? I seem to recall this to be a thing.
We have -1 Cryptography (represented as Cracking) thanks to the Consequence; I can't imagine what disaster would happen if we tried to do stuff with the notes. In all likelihood we'd just waste our time, but...time is a valuable resource and we don't wanna be spending our time doing nothing.
I don't think "descriptions you can think of" is the best way to put this; maybe "descriptions you can recall"?
If we're having calm discussion with Yuno and Ino, I think it'd be better to discuss the cultural differences between our villages of origin. Think about how Hazou and Keiko had hissy fits about Keiko/Shikamaru's wedding since they didn't have sharks or juggled clockwise. We would do well to combat the idea that different cultures doesn't mean barbarian or backwards, in Hazou's mind at the least.
Hazou already knows about updrafts and how his "oversized shirt" can give him a lift to make otherwise-impossible jumps, IIRC we got him to come up with the idea of hot-air balloons this way. Maybe applying this, plus some observations on bats and similar flying animals like birds or bats or eagles or whatever, could help.

It seems easy to explain that "wind spirits like it when animal moves wings". I guess since we're going for fixed-wing flight, we can note that a hawk that glides around all day stays in the air without movement or flapping - a similar hawk-shaped-and-weighted object might be able to do the same.

Can't summons also reverse-summon their Summoner at any point? With or without their consent? That sounds like something that Kagome would have a serious problem with... (-100 Trust)
Also, I'm a sucker for some good character interaction. I vote for...

The old Tower seal blanks? I disagree. We should give them over because it's the right thing to do in helping Leaf recover from the Collapse. Maybe there's something we can pull where we let him decide if it's a contest submission or not, but I feel like we should err on the side of "it was your stuff to begin with."

@Inferno Vulpix We should talk to Kagome about Shadow Clone. And then get Asuma to teach him, if he has the chakra.
Also, I genuinely do not think that leaving skysliders to civilian craftsmen would do anything but waste money given what Mari said about them.
Lastly, not voting for any plan that does not address the whole "we're squatting on Konoha land with about 500 civvies" thing.

Your plan implies long time skips if it has us check on progress reports on skysliders. So as is, you are having Hazou do very little over long time

Do you mean just everything in the plan in general?
The idea was more to avoid the actual cryptography but instead go through the decoded stuff to organize it and filter out the stuff Asuma needs, since Kagome is apparently not super good at that and also his time on the matter is better spent on the cryptography part of it.
Do you want me to make it more clear, then?
Good point.
I'll see if I can find a good way to phrase these, thanks.
Given that we're still in Asuma's office and Kagome hasn't left on his mission, I think we can at least cover a) asking Kagome if he wants it/can get it, and b) asking Asuma what the protocol is for requesting permission to learn it (which we can handily use to help evaluate Akane's situation).
e: more responses
I personally disagree, since if we just left them to their own devices they'd naturally feel no obligation to succeed but the plan here is to keep them motivated and be involved enough that it's hard to pass laziness by us. We may not be suited to do the job ourselves but I think we're quite capable of getting them to honestly attempt the project.
This is a job for Mari, personally, and I'm hesitant to just toss that into the plan. What do the rest of you think?
The intent was more 'begin making such check-ins', I should probably clarify that.

Aerial kinetic bombardment, at best.
A sub-orbital trajectory is way out of our range, an orbital bombardment even more so.
If they go as high as possible the munitions will hit the ground at 0.5 km / s. A sub-orbital bombardment would need to be somewhere north of 4 km / s, an orbital one would be somewhere around 10 km / s.
Edit: Yes, that means we'll get a sonic boom from the last few seconds of the drop.

@eaglejarl @Velorien @OliWhail You guys asked for Jiraiya seals a while ago. It's in my technique doc you guys have access to, too. Here it is for public reference:
Jiraiya Seal [in his notes]: Fire Eater Seal
Based on the seal Jiraiya used in canon to combat Itachi's Amaterasu. This seal saps the fire-nature chakra out of its immediate environment (~2 meters range) over its duration. It lasts a minute, and spontaneously combusts at the end of its duration if it absorbed any fire-nature chakra. If it does not combust, it may be reactivated.
For every round a fire technique (fire seals are unaffected unless they explicitly use fire-nature chakra) is within the area of the seal -- for which instant techniques are considered within the area for a round -- the technique's Effect is lowered by 2 and it is penalized by 6 on any dice rolls made. If the technique's Effect is reduced below 0, then it fizzles to nothing.

Pretty much.
More of a "I'm generally concerned that Hazou's negative Cracking level will make it so he won't even be able to organize it properly".
We're only using chakra construct MEW which lasts 30s, so we're only getting ~300m/s.
Here are some quick things that should fit in plans lasting > 1 day
these can be offscreened
these can be offscreened
- assign someone to bond with yuno, especially since Akane is leaving
- Delegate buying stuff at a discount, paying with goketsu tokens, from those merchants we invited to Leaf
- did Mari hirecivilians yet? If so, make sure Hazou knows who he can delegate what stuff to
- can any of them decode jiraiya's notes? if not, are there any civilians who could that we can adopt?
- delegate someone to skim what's useful in the Nara Library and report, if it's available before the contest ends
- have hazou do meditation/introspection. for defence against the Out
- seal bank job satisfaction. have civilians as clerks. ninja at set times in the day go to the bank to seal all the stuff
- spend 1 FP to have bought 100 (or however much in stock) copies of each publically buyable seal from the Tower before the Collapse
- Talk to Asuma (he's right there) about compensation for the Oro estate (can we officially own the estate we on as compensation), and biosealing and shadow clone permission
- ask tsunade about oro trustworthiness
- do we have a secretary from Mari hiring one or Noburi finding one? If not, hire akane's dad (with Akane's permission) as secretary. We need one, pay him ludicrous money, guilt him by saying this will help the clan and by extension Akane a lot

How in the heck is it a Mari job when Hazou's the clan's accountant?

Edits made:
To be clear, I think that talking to Asuma about formalizing our ownership of the Shimura Estate is a job for Mari. If you mean something else by what you said, I confess I don't know what it is.
- Location
- Yes.
Feel that there should be a bit more than simple encouragement to get civilians to do the work. I'd recommend coming to them with designs and paying them to test them out, then pay them more money if they can come up with good designs (to incentivize them to put effort into it, make it a contest by paying only the best designs from testing).
Following @Evenstar's advice from before I don't think asking her thoughts on the squatting situation is an issue, but getting her to do the work probably will be (please correct me if I'm wrong here). OTOH I'm not sure it'll change much if Hazou does the work instead with Mari's consultation.
Also @Inferno Vulpix DO NOT USE SKYWALKERS FOR TESTING SKYGLIDERS THAT IS TREASON DO NOT AIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
