[Locked from Sokka]

Hey everyone, just a head's up that Sokka and I will be unavailable for a few days. We should be back sometime next week, so don't worry.

And if you see him first, do me a favour and don't tell him! But you can wish him a happy anniversary, if you want.

Kyoshi Warriors, if you could check in and let me know you're alright, I'd appreciate it, especially after that last experiment. I'd like to make sure we still have a full roster of members. This Sunday's practice is cancelled since I'll be out of the village, but don't slack off on your training, okay?

Oh, and if anyone is curious, the Kyoshi Warriors of Luceti are a group of girls learning self-defense and stealth combat techniques. If anyone is interested in joining or finding out more about the group, I'd be happy to answer any questions!

[With that, Suki makes herself busy with some packing. She'll make a round to all of her housemates first to let them know she and Sokka will be AWOL, then it's off to the smithy, backpack in hand, to ninja-kidnap her unsuspecting fiance.]

[Ffffffffffwuh. She just turned a scroll into weapons.

That. Is amazing.]

Oh... oh, whoa! Incredible! How did you do that?

I seal my weaponry in the scroll before hand. Then I just release them whenever to use them in combat. Because of this, I have a vast amount of weaponry I've mastered and can use expertly in combat. [ She nods, happy to explain. ]

Wow... I've never seen anything like it before! That must be so useful in battle!

[Suffice to say she is impressed.]

It is. Sort of. Back home, people can launch fireballs from their mouths and can summon strength that can take out entire mountain sides with a single blow. This levels the playing field, somewhat for me, but it's a bit tough to overcome some enemies and their talents. [ Like manipulating shadows, becoming three trillion times larger, mind control!!!

Tenten has a hard time keeping up with everyone ): ]

Here, it's one of the most handy abilities. I'm quite surprised!

They sound like benders.

[Maybe not quite the same, considering bending seems to work differently in other worlds. But still, manipulation of the elements is undeniably impressive.]

Are those scroll abilities the kind of thing that anyone could learn, or are you born with it?

Benders? I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with your terminology. Are they like, elemental attack users or something?

[ She considers the question before answering. ]

It's not really either or. Anyone can learn it as long they have Chakra. However, that's only for sealing items. I can make prearranged scrolls for just about anyone to use as long as they have good timing skills, but I guess I can temper with the activation requirements for those not too skilled with timing. [ woohoo for canon vagueness! ]

Oh, yes. That's exactly what they are, actually. [She's quick.] What's chakra?

[ She's very detailed oriented. ]

Chakra is a form of energy that's found in cells of people in my world. If someone has life energy that can mold and manipulate, then it might be able to work. I've never tested it, actually.

Life energy... that you can use to summon weapons? [If she's understanding it right. Wow.] How did you learn something like this?

That's pretty much it. [ She starts to reseal the weaponry. After preforming some rapid hand signs, the weaponry pile slowly, but surely, returns to the source. ] I learned it primarily from Guy-sensei, though, it's a skill most ninja can pick up on as long as they're good at manipulating their chakra. There, they can store just about anything. Weaponry is the most common one, though, techniques and even people aren't unheard of!

...People? What do you mean?

[...People can't be summoned from scrolls, right...?]

I'm not quite sure how it works, actually. But, I know that some people can sometimes be summoned from scrolls. Now, they aren't sealed in there but they're generally summoned to the place once they're released.

For example, during my Chuunin Exam, we were tasked with retrieving two scrolls but not to look at either of them. Opening them would result in summoning a proctor out of nowhere, who would then knock you out and disqualify you. [ And she says this all casually. Yep. ]

...That's... almost unbelievable.

[Honestly if she hadn't been in Luceti for as long as she has, she might have laughed.]

They sound so versatile... do... you think you could teach me?

Do you have a form of life energy you could use to seal items? If not, I can train you on how to release items from premade scrolls, including explosives. It's simple enough so most people can get the basic system I utilized.

I honestly don't know. I don't have any powers, and I've never heard of chakra before. But I'm alive... isn't that a kind of energy?

[She is so lost in all this, but it never hurts to ask.]

If it's an energy that can be manipulated or shaped in some way, then it should be able to work. Regardless, I can always store your weapons for you. Summoning them doesn't require any chakra as long as you deposit the chakra before hand. You can learn, and be amazingly skilled with those! [ She tries her best to be reassuring but she isn't sure if this will be so successful. She definitely wants it to be. ]

That sounds like it would be amazing! I'd love to give it a try, if you don't mind.

I don't mind at all! I'm pleased! Most people don't ever give my ability the light of day back home in favor of elemental ninjutsu. Seeing so many people interested in what I do is a nice change of pace!

I'm glad to hear it! So, I'll see you next Sunday, then? Oh, and I don't think I caught your name.

Oh! My apologies! My name's Tenten! Can I get yours? You mentioned the Kyoshi warriors, but you never mentioned your name.

Of course! I'm Suki.

It was great to meet you, Suki! I'll be sure to talk to you later. Good luck on your trip!
