- Mission:
Mission name: Welcome Visitors
Mission rank: D
Objective: Welcome those who are coming to see the exams.
Location: Kumogakure no Sato
Reward: 1 EP
Mission Description: With the chuunin exams happening in the village hidden in the lightning, there will be visiting dignitaries, ninja, and possibly other Kage coming to observe the exams. Your job is simply to meet them at the gate to welcome them and lead them towards the administration building.
Mission Details: If welcoming a PC, the word count will be normal, if welcoming an NPC the word count will be increased to 1,250 words (a 500 word increase.) You will simply need to welcome whoever you see fit to the village, leading them to the Administration building if they are a dignitary or Kage, or somewhere else of their choosing if they are neither. That is not to say these are set in stone, you may lead the visitors where they wish to go instead. Only able to be completed by Kumogakure no Sato ninja.
The chuunin exams were upon Kumogakure, and with it the entrance gate had never been so crowded. A handful of Kumogakure's forces were walking near the gate to hold up the visitors, checking their papers and giving directions on how to proceed. The sky was clouded by dark grey clouds blocking most of the sun's rays, the soft rumbling of thunder seemingly not having decided yet if lightning and rain should break through to soak the moving masses or not. Lucky for Kumogakure's forces and the people, the day remained mostly dry for now, which was a good thing considering the pressure there was on the shinobi currently working at the gates.
Mizuki had been appointed as one of them for the shift at noon, and as such the kunoichi was preparing herself for duty once she woke. As was usually the case these days the house was empty when she rose out of bed, a serene quietude having settled down that was only interrupted by the occasional chirping of birds having nested in the jacaranda trees outside. After having opened her wardrobe, Mizuki had exchanged her purple sleeping dress for a black shirt and leggings that would hug her body neatly and serve as padding for her armour. Slipping into a sober dark blue vest and stylish skirt reaching her knees, she finished her attire with the traditional white flak jacket of her Village. She wrapped her headband around her head, tightening it well, and put her hair up with a couple of her senbon before tying her katana around her waist. Taking a last good look at herself in the large mirror that stood in the corner, she flashed a brief smile to her reflection and moved to the kitchen to grab some breakfast.
Since the day would be long, Mizuki wanted to make sure she had a good breafkast. A good bowl of oatmeal with fresh red fruits and a freshly pressed glass of orange juice ended up on her tray before she moved everything to the dining table where she took a seat. As she ate her breakfast, Mizuki went through the checklist of instructions that laid on the table, left behind by her father as a reminder of what her guard duty would entail. Papers, proper directions concerning the Chuunin Exams, wanted criminals... Her father had been thorough in the details, as usual. Once Mizuki was certain she'd remember it all, she enjoyed the remained of her breakfast in quietude, listening to the clear song of the birds outside. Then, when she finished it all, she left her home and moved towards the gate.
The flow of people was already considerable. A slow, but consistent stream of visitors and competitors walked through the gate, handling the basic formalities required for safe passage. Even if this was routine, the Chuunin Exams seemed to make people impatient enough to regularly complain about this 'sudden' necessity of checks, as if they had never been there in the first place. While that sort of impatience was understandable, it didn't help with keeping the pressure upon the shinobi away who already looked rather understaffed considering forces had been spread thin over various tasks and areas to ensure the safety of the eager visitors.
So as Mizuki arrived to take over, her colleague seemed to be more than happy to see her now that he could finally go on a noon break. With a short briefing of the situation and a reminder of her duties, he patted her on the shoulder and vanished from sight a few minutes later, leaving the kunoichi with the rest of the team to greet visitors and verify their paperwork and intentions. Mizuki stepped in, bringing along her usual diplomatic approach, but wondered mostly if there would be seeing anyone she had met in the other Villages.
