Reni with pink hair for no reason what so ever nope nothing suspicious happening here....

[nurenoichi]

The mischievous smile on Tenten’s lips simply wouldn’t fade, just like the sparkle in her eyes that gave her away from afar, telling everyone: I’m up to something. She simply loved playing pranks, especially on her sensei, who had always taken them in good humor so far. After all, her pranks had always been harmless, nothing that had ever actually caused injuries or really damaged anything. Once she had handed him an bottle when he asked for water; though, it wasn't filled with water, but with small weights to make it heavier, so he would think there was water in it.

Tenten could still recall the look on his face when he went to take a sip and heard a clattering sound instead of the slosh of water. That expression was surpassed only by the look on his face when Gai unscrewed the cap and saw the weights inside; yet, when Tenten asked him with a cheeky grin if it tasted good, he finally burst out laughing. Of course, she had given him a real bottle of water afterward.

"Are you sure?" Tenten asked when Reni declined her offer. "Something like that really sounds pretty annoying… even if it’s well-intentioned. But suit yourself, the offer stands in case you change your mind." She shrugged, then looked back at Reni; ultimately, it was her decision, and at least Reni would still help her with her little prank regardless.

A mischievous grin spread across Tenten’s lips once more. "Oh, don’t worry, I don’t plan on traumatizing anyone. If everyone isn’t laughing, it’s not a real prank" at least, that was always her motto, and not just because she had no desire for unnecessary trouble herself.

"I was thinking of something… pink? What do you think, would pink hair and eyebrows suit Gai Sensei?" she giggled, amused.

[inkpots-n-sass]

“I’ll let you know if I need a firmer excuse,” that smile only made her worry for the mach-makers if she set Tenten on them. They truly were harmless and it came with the territory of being from such a pestiferous clan. Their expectations held weight but no heavier than that of her duty as a shinobi and one she wasn’t accustomed to by now. At the idea she held up a hand and went to grab a book from a shelf then came back flipping through the tome with a sinister little giggle. Finding the recipe her father had scribbled long ago the experiment had gone awry but had been such a fun result he made note of it though never sure what to use it for. Seems it might have found a use all these years later and she’d leave a note for him about it because he’d be silently amused when he returned. “A sound philosophy and I am sure we could cook something up that could go in his shampoo bottle but be temporary enough to last no more than a few washes.”

Random idea:

Reni knowing and having access to dangerous herbs means she probably uses them in ways no one expects like dosing restricted materials with an irritant so she can see who has the rash and know just who the culprit was later when they're disturbed. Because by now many of her colleagues know the procedures how to neutralize such things.

Or leaning which plants can become luminescent under certain lighting conditions and using them to track or identify unwanted guests in certain sections of the archive or even at her apartment.

She tinkers with the idea of if she can blend this herbal knowledge into her seal work too and use that somehow. Honestly Reni is usually up to something when she's not swamped with work. Be it reading/researching or tinkering with various things or training she likes to indulge her curiosity even if some of the time she really shouldn't.

Naruto and sensei ( ´ ω ` )

[melamemea]

daily role play deinfluencing

people are not supposed to be online all the time, breaks are okay

changing communication does not mean anyone hates you

it's perfectly normal to not have icons or graphics in role play

not everyone has to have a theme

just because someone else writes the character it doesn't mean that you can't

having a google docs, carrd, canva etc. is not the norm

you don't need to use any specific language, write as you want

just because something is popular in a community it doesn't make it canon

you can write a character perfectly fine without about pages

just because someone doesn't like the way you write something they don't hate you

you do not need to consume the newest media to be "on top"

... and that is the tip of the ice berg in regards to role playing. there are a lot of standards/expectations set throughout role play and they come and go as they see fit. in these times, it's important to remind yourself that there are so many things that are in fact normal.

A white, slim fluffy, one-eyed dog has snuck into the archives. The animal is lying completely flat and limp on the floor, as much contact with the cool tiles as its physically able to.

The archive was naturally temperature regulated for the preservation of their work due to this they often saw an uptick in foot traffic during the hotter days. Funny how a bit of heat made everyone want to do research or turn in their late reports in abundance.

The intrusion only raises a few eyebrows then most ignore the creature and get back to work assuming it too was another refugee from the summer. However, Reni is drawn to the beautiful animal like it had an air of familiarity around it but the why that was escaped her for the moment. Instead she turned to seeing their guest was comfortable.

“Hot day isn’t it?” she asks softly setting a bowl with some ice down resisting the urge to pet knowing better “Stay as long as you like. Raid Nari's desk if you need a snack alright?”

[inkpots-n-sass]

Upon graduating from the academy Reni found her nation at war and though only ten she was a genin and thus useful to fill spots taken by those sent off to the battlefield. Duty was a heavy burden and her shoulders were small still manpower was needed. Her herbal knowledge was invaluable, and she was sent to aid the toxicology department to develop antidotes to enemy poisons and toxins. Sworn to secrecy about her work she told her father she was aiding in the treatment of non-urgent injuries, so the more urgent ones could be seen by a medical nin.

Which wasn’t a full lie, but it wasn’t her main job. A tiny figure watching as comrades writhed in pain or suffer the brutal effects of those treatments, collecting herbs and recon for valuable patches that have proven to work, sheltered slightly by those in charge but not completely.

By the time the war ends she’s exhausted and not quite sure how to process what she did or saw. She pours all that uncertainty, pain, grief, and everything else into becoming a chunin. However, in the chaos of after her talents get overlooked or dismissed because of the hushed nature of her work and so her file didn't reflect the full story of her service.

When she is put on a team she’s a bit jaded but eventually warms to them and grows to care for them deeply. Their sensei becomes a great guidance to her and gives her a sensible tether that she didn’t have in the shinobi world. Though he was also dealing with what he did during the war and trying to be better for his kids. It is that deep care that brings trouble later when one of her teammates snaps from a combination of the pressure from his family when he fails the chunin exams and the PTSD brought on by a tough mission after.

In his unstable state he becomes violent and a danger as he tries to defect from the leaf. Knowing him best her team is sent to neutralize him. She has only been a chunin for a little over year herself. There Reni is faced with the impossible choice to take his life after he maimed her other teammate. Still she fails to do it and her sensei has to finish the job for her. When all is said and done she is reprimanded and put on administrative duty until the matter could be investigated that is where they see her talents again and shift her into the archives department.

Transitioning into the archives aeound age eighteen which was a process that requires more secret keeping and brutal training to protect vital information. Reni practically disappears for a year to complete the requirements for the job. It is a bit of a metamorphic moment and she emerges with a new purpose and outlook on her place in the shinobi system.
