Cosmos Quest (Naruto/Lupin III)

Current Tally.

Vindictus, Unclouded [2] "Accepted." This is far more your scene then gladitorial combat- And, if you pull this off right, you might still get to attend the exams too!

darklord, Redon, Torgamous, Selias, iamnuff, Disminded, Undead frog, overmind, 1234q1234q, Scia, uju32 [11] Decline.

The Nobody, delwgun, MHLord, LoreOfClarke, luckybreak91, Hymn of Ragnarok[6] Accept

useless101 [1] Decline.
-[X] "If not running out on my friends right now means I spend a night or two in a cell, then I guess you'd better tell the ANBU they've got another prisoner to handle."

Guile [1] "Not like I've never been in jail, but hey, level with me sensei-" *pause for raucous laughter* "Is this because there's a real, urgent need for my skillset in the capital, or because you don't want me fucking with the chuunin exam anymore?" "Yes." "Cool, I'm in."


On an Accept vs Decline count it's 12 Decline Vs 9 Accept.
 
[X] If for some reason, I'm not present, blame it on my adolescence

... you sigh, and, pouting, hold out your hands.

"Fine. Take me in."

"What?" Kakashi asks, looking slightly surprised (goddamn it, this is worse than the Edajima School boys. At least most of them didn't even know what chakra was. Does the Sharingan just have a passive sensing-blocking ability or what?) "Yamanaka-kun, are you saying you'd rather be imprisoned for impersonating the Hokage than serve the village?"

"I'm saying that someone needs to face Gaara and give him a decent fight or Suna will be pissed at us," you say, frowning at him. What's he tryin' to get a rise out of you for? "Considering all I did while disguised was stop a bar brawl from escalating to the point of causing an international incident-"

"- after provoking said bar brawl -" the grey-haired man comments.

"- and not even the ANBU on-site made me, is there really any reason to lock me up? Especially since I'm a clan heir - that'd be really embarrassing for everyone." You shrug, and try giving him a charming smile. "I think I'm more likely to get a slap on the wrist officially and a lot of humiliating KP duties unofficially. Along with some nasty stuff Mom and Dad will come up with," you add, wincing. You hadn't really thought about what they'd have to say about everything you've been up to lately. "And I won't get kicked out of the chuunin exams, because I'm the only strong candidate who hasn't been ordered not to fight Gaara."

"You have a greatly inflated sense of your own importance," Kakashi says bluntly. "What makes you think Gai will refuse a direct order from the Hokage to make his students fight the Kazekage's son?"

"Sandaime-sama wouldn't do that," you retort, offended on the old fella's behalf.

"He's the God of Shinobi," the jounin fires back. "If you don't think he'd sacrifice one or two genin for the good of the village, you don't understand what the title Hokage means."

But that's...!

You glare at him.

"Look, I'm not a little kid, okay?" You fold the robes neatly and stuff them in the largest seal-pocket at the back of your haori, then collapse the fake Hat and shove it in on top of them. "I know being Hokage means you have to do some cold shit from time to time, but you aren't going to tell me he'd put Neji and Lee's lives in jeopardy just to make sure I get mine. That's an awful long way to go just to teach me a lesson."

"Shorter than you think," Kakashi says.

"Well, we'll see," you say diplomatically. "In the meantime, my friend is in jail and I'm not. One way or another, I need to do something about that."

The grey-haired man's mask shifts, and his lone visible eye crinkles shut. It takes you a moment to realize he's smiling.

"Let's go bail him out, then. If he isn't free by tomorrow he'll throw off my whole training regimen for you."

You blink. You can't quite think of what to say; you're not sure if you're reading him right.

"... uh... was... this a job interview?" you finally manage.

"A test," Kakashi says, looking very pleased with himself. "Gai told me you intend to, ah, 'nobly clash with Gaara of the Sand Waterfall'."

You can barely believe your ears. "And you want to train me for the fight?"

He shrugs. "I do now."

You grin.

"In that case sensei, I have a condition." You hold out a hand. "Lemme see your porn."

YES! Finally! You don't need sensing for this one, he's completely poleaxed.

"what."

"Hey, don't get the wrong idea, I'm not gonna hurt it," you say soothingly. "I just wanna see it." Your other hand emerges from behind his back clutching a light novel with an orange cover. Your eyes gleam.

"Perfect! Oh, I'm so glad you have actual taste." You flip through it, tilting it to the side to check out a full-page spread. "I asked Sasuke, but you know how repressed he is, he's no help at all with stuff like that; everything sex related is 'creepy fetish stuff' to him. There's no way my Dad would let me train under you if it was scat or something you were haulin' around town." You hand Icha Icha back to him, and pat it affectionately. "But ya can't go wrong with tottsan. Big fuckin' softie. They're practically romance novels."

"... mm," Kakashi mms, and saunters casually down the street. "Sasuke's waiting."

Aw. He didn't stay flustered.

... a challenge! >:D

Ino, no. You can do better than a prematurely-greying assassin in sweatpants who's twice your age and reads porn in public.

I don't wanna do better, I want to tease Kakashi!

... oh, god, is this how Jigen feels? ._.;

Merry Christmas, everyone. I got you a sensei. ^_^ I know you already have one, but this one's bigger - you'll grow into him.

OH THANK GOD FURIKO.

Let's face, the ONLY reason we're on Team Asuma to begin with is because Ami was on it. If not for that we'd have been under the Scarecrow with Brosuke from day one.

Also, we got to troll Kakashi. Several times!

Excellent.

Christmas is a time for granting wishes, true, but mostly it's the natural result of your decision to explain to Gai that you can't promise not to fight Gaara.

Gai was impressed at your reasoning and willingness to take one for the team, and he wanted to help you.

FurikoMaru said:
Gai's chakra has settled down now, from anger to sorrow and regret. He seems resigned; you can already hear him smoothing a facsimile of his usual bombast over his actual feelings. And yet, there's a hint of calm resolution to him, as though he's just made a decision that comforts him somewhat.

But his hands are full training Lee and Neji for their own bouts. He knew Asuma would likely just advise you to forfeit, and, hypocritically or not, he does understand the desperate desire to make a glorious best-effort in the face of almost certain defeat.

So he turned to the guy he always trusts to have his back, who, conveniently, is your best friend's teacher, someone who doesn't have students in the exam, and the Konoha specialist in Lightning techniques, which are sure to be more useful against Gaara than genjutsu or taijutsu or Yamanaka stuff.
 
>I don't wanna do better, I want to tease Kakashi!
SO cute.

Sasuke's face when he sees Ino and Kakashi posting bail for him together will be fantastic. Ino needs to spend the entire walk there thinking of good stuff to say to razz him. "I don't know where I went wrong raising him, I didn't raise him to be a delinquent. I give him to you for a few weeks and he's starting fights in bars-" or some such.

I'd add "Mother doesn't know where she went wrong with him-" like we're his mom, but his circumstances makes that a really mean thing to say.

Well.....we kinda DID raise him to be a delinquent. What with all the petty theft as children and all.

Now, we didn't raise him to get CAUGHT, that's for sure. "Where did I go wrong with you Sasuke? I never wanted this for you, I went to so much trouble to save you from this fate!"

*sniffle*

"You're far too pretty to survive in prison. Oh Sasuke, my poor Sasuke!

"Now I need to teach you all the lessons I hoped you would never need. I had thought if I taught you enough about how to not get caught this would be a moot point, but alas! My efforts for naught, and now I am burdened with the telling and you with the listening! But I shall persevere for your sake!

"First, lessons of shower etiquette, and the first subsection of the use of soap..."

And from it devolves into downright excessive lecturing on prison life with numerous detours into borderline pornography.

So. I need to cut down on the number of quests I'm doing, probably all the way down to one. So if you could only have one Furiko quest, which one would you want? Red Rose, NEIOU, True Lady or Cosmos Quest?
 
It's a shame, since I like them all, but trying to update 4 quests in anything like a timely fashion must be punishing.

I'd stick to Cosmos Quest.
 
I personally like Red Rose the most. But It'd be a shame to have Cosmos put on hiatus considering how far you've taken it.

Cosmos Quest, please.
Red Rose would be a second choice.
And thank you for the Xmas present.
Kakashi will be FUN.
 
Cosmos is my first choice, followed by Red rose
 
Torgamous said:
I MUST HAVE THEM BOTH

Yeah, this adequately sums up my opinion. Cosmos has some excellent inertia and interesting characters in it, so it has first place, while Rose has lots of potential.

Also, it's not JoJo.

No offense to JoJo fans.
 
I'm on this forum because of this quest.
