Mission description: A local villager has reported that her pet Lizard has run off. Find it!
Mission details: 600 words minimum Pretty standard, the lizard just ran off and wont put up too much of a fight.
I wonder how you lose a lizard? Mari thought as she walked through the streets of Sunagakure no Sato. It was a simple mission and relatively easy sounding to take. A villager had lost their pet and now it was Mari's job to find it and return it to its very worried owner. The girl was still trying to think why people kept lizards as pets. Sure dogs and cats and even rats made sense, but a lizard? Lizards weren't even that cute. And they were extremely commonplace in the desert. She wouldn't be surprised if someone had lost their lizard and a whatever genin had just turned in some random reptile. It obviously was a mean thing to do, and Mari wouldn't even think about doing it, but it could've happened.
Well at least, not by this certain lizard owner's standards.
She was an eccentric little woman if Mari could call her anything nice without being rude. Frizzy green hair, giant red framed sunglasses, and an overly made up make up face to cover obvious warts and moles only began to describe the oddities of the pet owner. She was complete with a shrill, ear piercing voice that would make anyone cringe at the sound. Plus she was shorter than Mari and probably about just as wide as she was tall, wearing an old style floral pattern sundress and giant blue sunflower sun hat. The way she spoke of her 'precious, darling Koko' only enforced the idea that she was practically obsessed over the thing. Mari shivered just thinking about it. She was beginning to think that the lizard had run away for a reason.
But it wasn't her job to feel sorry for the pet, it was her job to find it and bring it to its rightful owner. She tried to think of a way to catch a lizard or how to even look for one. Then she tried to remember what the lizard even looked like. She sighed to realize that she had already practically forgotten any description of the pet. She was so forgetful! She tried thinking harder, and then recalled that the lady had mentioned that the lizard wore a collar. At that moment Mari herself had only mentally questioned why anyone would put a collar on a lizard, but now she was thankful to have remembered something of note. So how hard could it be to find a lizard with a collar?
Thankfully, it wasn't that hard at all.
The street that the girl had ended up on while she was thinking away was one of those shadowy deserted alleyways in the middle of the village. No one else happened to be around, no one human anyway. Coming from just ahead of her, Mari heard a distinct jingle, like that of a collar tags from a collar. Out of pure luck the lizard had just appeared in front of her!
Mari slowed her pace and knelt down the ground, holding out her hand gently. "Uh... Here lizard. Time to go home..." Though she said the words gently, she still felt slightly awkward about talking to a lizard like it was a lost kitten or puppy. It was a bright green reptile with beady eyes and scaly skin and it wore a red collar with golden name tags. It definitely wasn't as cute a cat or a dog and it probably didn't respond to pleasantries like a cat or dog would either. It was a lizard, a cold blooded reptile. And in true lizard fashion it stood about as still as a rock staring at the girl as if was as strange looking as its owner. It seemed to lower its body as if was doing a pushup or readying for a long run. And in a blink of an eye, it took off leaving a trail of dust.
Lizards shouldn't be that fast... For a moment all Mari could do was stare in wonder at the lizard's dust trail before realizing she needed to be chasing the thing. She started running down the alleyway, following the lizard prints in the dirt. All the while thinking at how completely ridiculous about her previous and current thoughts were on this situation. She heard noises coming from ahead of her, things like voices yelling and the sounds of cart wheels turning... The Market! Mari stopped on her heels as she exited the alleyway, she even had to shade her eyes into coming into bright sunlight.
She looked down to the ground and sighed, knowing already that the prints would be long brushed away by the wheels of carts and the crowds of shoppers and venders. It happened to also just be her luck that she would have to chase this odd pet in such an inconvenient place. Was this reptile deliberately trying to make her day harder by the minute? The girl was beginning to think so.
She walked calmly into the busy street. In the back of her mind she wished she knew some sensory type jutsu. Taijutsu and Bukiijutsu techniques were next to useless when looking for something like a troublesome lizard. Her eyes scanned over venders stalls filled with colorful good and foodstuffs. She searched through the crowds of rowdy customers and haggling merchants, but unfortunately was not able to find any trace of her target. She did notice that the shadows were getting longer. It had already become late in the afternoon, she needed to get this mission done today. Mari steeled herself, was this lizard provoking a challenge? There was no way she was going to be outsmarted by some reptile!
