"Yo Karu-chan, you are numb right? Cannot feel a damn thing? Pain, pleasure, the two pinnacles of humanity are lost up you. Seriously though, why bother trying to care. Being numb sounds fucking awesome. You do not have to deal with anybody's shit because of the way you are is the perfect excuse. Cannot wish for the best for anybody cause it is not going to be sincere, since ya know, no pleasure means no care, no empathy without pain. It is physical, I get it. Really I do. Miss popular and the brat here haaaate getting physical but they like their humanity ya know? I still cannot for the life of me understand. Life is terrible, no ifs and or buts. Seriously, you have a great life and you are not doing enough with it. I know ya story, or at least what I can gather and I feel for you, sort of. Similar situations you and I were in. But you got treated like a prince in your new home. Forced to be with them, but still better than most folks in that situation. You had power, the position, the road was mapped out for you and you did what with it? Shite, you did shite with it. All this bullshit about heretics and what not, who gives a damn? We are fucking the shit stains of the worst kind, the lowest of the low. Be a man and if you can not, be a shinobi. Do something!

The lying asshole Akira left you on a throne to do with it as you please after he had enough playing with stones and went to take a dip in the water and what are you doing? Making deals with she-devils whilst your village is not reigned in. We both know that your puppy is dealing with your messes behind the scenes whilst you go out and have a goooood time playing figurehead. You got the looks, the intelligence, and skill, so why have you not use them. Go play in the sandbox, burn some leave, endure the storm. If a few folks have to get stoned in the mean time than so be it.

Trust me, you knoooow change is coming and it is not going to be a happy one. Just imagine it, you are practically in your prime, you got a nice happy village on the surface, your makeshift family is growing, and things are good. GREAT EVEN. But soon, soon, it allll comes crashing down. Angst. Drama! Action! Love. Tradegy. All the best of the best of the theater. True and utter despair in a melody of melacony with the unseen staff members and a conductor who was not of the likes you ever seen! Careful Karu-chan caaareful. If yoou blink you might miss it. You got to pay attention these days before you a nuked in the booty. Seriously, hehehehe, look around you...."

Jester grinned a sharp devilish grin with her eyes glowing as they were filled with mirth. She leaned back and spread out her arms wide to point the whole place. It was filled with spice, music, dancing and laughter. It were like the party would never die. Everyone was having fun, the time of their lives really even the staff who felt like they never left the familiarity of the desert but found comfort in their new home. But if you looked closely, and the narrator means realllly closely some of these dopey smiles were strained at best. Everyone was tense in some sort of fashion sides the idiots who could not read the atmosphere. Jester and her merry band of bitches had a horrible rep that was being mended but she would not usually come home to this. No, more than one eye wandered, unintentionally and not, towards her drinking companion tonight, Sekuro Karumo. The new head of office though he did not really feel like. Nice guy, he really was but that was all he was, nice. A guy somewhat known suddenly arose to power in the blink of an eye when Akira-sama conveniently disappeared. He sat in his seat like he owned the place just like the rest of them. Few people trusted him and even fewer knew him well. The people of Iwa were pretty divided on how they felt about it. Some did not care. Others were wary. A few did not like him. Fewer trusted him. But they kept their smiles, and played it out. They were used to snakes in the grass here. After all, the old moniker of Iwa still stuck somewhat, and it will be hard to get the crimson soaked in the stones out. Akira believed he cleaned up the place and well he did, to an extent. Got to give the guy the applause for trying but the corruption ran too deep even for Kazako. And when he left, old organizations and enemies were popping up like weeds, ready to return Iwa back to the good ol days. And was her lil Karu-chan even ready for it?

Maybe, it is hard to say at this point. But hopefully he will take our warning well. Iwa has been pretty boring lately and we do not want the fun to end early no? hehe..

Jester downed the rest of her alcohol, ignoring the eyes that clung to them, and those odd folks (spies, assassins, fake anbu) watching them and their every move. She did not care, in fact she reveled in it, even as she paid for their drinks and food and shushin outta there. Though she was not keen on the fact she would be pulled into the mess and eventually be forced to chose a side. But that is what makes life so much fun isn't it?

The others could not disagree

Jet began to rant on, asking about his numbness, it caught Karumo's attention in the serious lull of his intoxication, turning his attention sullenly to her as she spoke up. It wasn't an over-romanticization of his affliction but rather, it made no sense? She should know the troubles it causes, the problems of it, but in a more literal sense, but what ever personality of hers took over seemed to revel in this moment. It was a taunt, a warning, having fun all in one, he leaned back and listened, taking cue to her words where they would come. Trust me, you knoooow change is coming and it is not going to be a happy one. Just imagine it, you are practically in your prime, you got a nice happy village on the surface, your makeshift family is growing, and things are good. GREAT EVEN. But soon, soon, it allll comes crashing down. Angst. Drama! Action! Love. Tradegy. All the best of the best of the theater. True and utter despair in a melody of melacony with the unseen staff members and a conductor who was not of the likes you ever seen! Careful Karu-chan caaareful. If yoou blink you might miss it. You got to pay attention these days before you a nuked in the booty. Seriously, hehehehe, look around you...."

Karumo took cue to the ominous taunt, looking around the room at happy faces, the sounds of the grill and the smell of the food filled the air. Everyone seemed so complacent in that moment as the two of them sat their with her warning, though, he wondered if it would be her to shake the foundations or something she knew of.

Still, he didn't care much for the theatrics of anticipation, he was far more direct for things like that, he sat there with their drinks and food around. Jet was certainly being very theatrical with it all, perhaps an affect of the alcohol on her mental state, it didn't matter much to Karumo. Jet then shifted without saying much and placing money on the table for their food and all, Karumo watched and spoke up, "I hope... you carefully choose what side you're on Jet. Anything with teeth will bite you when backed into a corner... I'm okay with being bitten for this village, are you?" his question equally as ominous. He didn't expect an answer but simply wanted a small reminder, that if her change she so grandly referred to, would be the village's undoing or a threat against it, the village would be like that snake stuck in the grass and trapped in the defensive. It may not win against the greater hunter, but... well, the metaphor's clarity isn't what's important. He only hoped she was being tongue in cheek for the sake of it, but if not. Well, he knew what he would do and was ready to do for the village.

Still, Jet would shunshin away and leave Karumo to his thoughts there, he didn't mind a complacent people and populous. Things being good were just that, there didn't have to always be imminent danger around every corner. Besides, if there was, that meant that he and his shinobi weren't doing their jobs properly.
