Upon becoming a dummy, it seemed like all of the pent up rage that was tormenting all of a sudden died out. He wondered if this was a true rage that she was feeling, or perhaps surpressed feelings of self-doubt manifesting themselves. He honestly didn't really mind. He was learning more about the people of this village. Most of them were either looking for something to add to themselves or good hearted people. He's just glad that there aren't any maniacs here. At least, none that he had met yet. He waddles away in his dummy form, wondering what that person had thought of him. It must have been quite the site to be sure. Some random dummy popping out of nowhere. He was hoping that he would be able to get in some sort of fight, but he had gotten tired of laying on the ground. Once he was well out of view of the training grounds, he ended his transformation technique and dusted himself off. He sighed and continued walking, looking around for something to do. There didn't really seem to be anything that would be peaking his interest out of late, but he was kind of hungry. He decided that it would be in his best interest to go see what he could get at a market somewhere. He walks around and looks about the village, wondering where he would see people haggling about fish and other things like that. He continues to walk around, looking at the huts. Something caught his eye. He saw a somewhat angry man chopping a fish's head off and arguing with his wife. This was perfect. He walks into the shop and the wife instantly seems like she is this nice lady and walks into the back. The man continues violently cutting the heads off of fish, and Daiko asks whats up. The guy just kind of grumbles at him, and Daiko ordered 5 fishies from the man, planning to go cook them on his own. He pays the man and walks out with the de-headed fish, and he was pretty happy about that. The eyes didn't taste that good the last time he had a fish. Daiko continues to walk out into the forest, and procedes to gather sticks together to make a fire. He made sure to make it semi-tightly packed with wood in the center so that it would continuiously burn a good flame. He then breathed a misty flame dance over it, and sparked it up, causing a poof of fire. He takes some other sticks and pierces all of the fish on it, and then attatches it to the sides of the fire pit he made, basically making a spit to roast it on. He turns it slowly and pays attention to the little details of all the fish. The way the skin changed when it cooked. Daiko wanted to someday be able to cook a fish in a better way that would make it taste better. He did always fancy sushi, but he didn't have that option right now. He blew most of his money on his last trip to the sushi store, so he had to get some of his own fish this time. He continues to turn the spit, sighing and waiting for his food to cook. The skins of the fish were starting to get a slight pink look to them, so he was hoping that they would be done soon. He sighs and continues to slowly turn the fish so that it was an even cooking. He noticed that the fish were starting to change their color to more of a shade of brown, and he decided that it would be time to eat them. He pulls the spit off, and holds it up for a little bit and waited for it to cool. As he was holding it, he blew on it gently, and some of the scales flew off and he was pretty happy about that. He took one of his tanto that weren't used for killing things, and scraped all of the scales off to reveal the perfectly cooked flesh of the fish. Daiko then took his time enjoying the fish and picking all of the bones out of his mouth before swallowing. It wasn't too bad actually, these fish were realitivly fresh and they tasted good. When he finished his meal, he got up and sighed. Daiko felt like it would be best for him to find something productive to do with his time. So, he started doing pushups and sit ups, doing reps of twenty and then switching and taking a break for a few minuites. He did this pretty much all day, until his stomach and arms felt like they were ripped and torn from his body. He didn't really feel like he could move em, but he felt a little stronger. He then got up, and decided to do nothing but run for the rest of the day. He sprinted straight into the forest, running as fast as he possibly could. He was jogging along in the forest, but not as fast as maybe he could have been. He was busy enjoying the scenery that he almost missed the villain that was staring at him a tree. It tilted it's gelatinous head towards Daiko, and the very essence of fear shot into the body of the boy. It was a slug. It opened it's huge mouth, and out came a bubble of death. Daiko ran deeper into the woods, hoping that he didn't see any more of them. When he got deeper, he saw what looked like a mini village. He thought it was interesting, so he walked inside the gates. Inside, he saw the back of someone. they were really pale, and pretty obese. He went to get the attention, but then noticed more of them. They were all slugs that were about his size. They were all wearing clothes, and Daiko froze in place. They looked at him, and all opened their huge mouths, then closed them, their stalk eyes gazing deep into the essence of his being. Daiko had never quite felt terror this much in his life, and decided that it would be in his best interest to get the heck out of here. Reaching speeds that he never believed possible, he jets out of that village of slugs going straight back in the direction that he had come from. He ran into that huge monster slug again, and he was terrified. He was getting sick of these slugs, and of these people in this village not responding to him when he comes up with a funny joke. It wasn't really no thing though, because he was sure that he would find someone someday that would be worth taking somewhere. Daiko's muscles ached and he was extremly sore and tired from all that he was doing today, so he decided that he would do what would be best for him and look for a nice comfortable tree for him to sleep in. He goes into a part of the forest that isn't as dense, and where he knows there won't be any slugs to wake him up in the middle of the night. He climbs to the top of one of the tall trees, and notices there is a space where his body would fit and be comfortable. He is pretty happy about this and stretches out on the branch. This definitly beat sleeping on the cold ground, and he had the leaves above him to provide a somewhat good protection from rain. He closed his eyes and hummed softly, waiting until he drifted off into the sweet release of sweet that would allow his sore muscles and tense mind all come to an end, and bring the beginning of a brand new day with a bunch of new stuff to do. He almost rolled over a bit, and realized that he would've fell of the tree. Instead, he just lays there and waits for sleep to take hold of him.
