Anko FM 2

  Part One

Her reception was rather different at the next set of islands the cruise ship released Anko onto. She squinted suspiciously at the civilians who pointed their little black boxes at her. “You better watch it,” she warned. Anko ruffled her trench coat dangerously, a reminder that she had a lot of weapons underneath it.

Lights flashed. 

Hhmph.

 Anko decided not to kill them this time, but she made a threatening “I’m watching you” gesture before she stalked up to the resort’s help desk. 

They were waiting for her. Anko opened her mouth to request a snake and was surprised to see the middle-aged lady shoot her a mischievous grin and slide over a pamphlet with a map of the island. 

She looked at the woman. She looked at the map, unfolded across 6 pieces of paper. Areas had been circled. Photos of snakes had been appended to mark who lived where. There were 110 different snakes living in the beautiful, highly superior islands called the Philippines. She clearly had her work cut out for her if she was going to get at least one of each. 

“You, I like,” Anko emphasized. She flung herself over the counter to hug the woman. 

“Gibberish?” 

She turned to see one of the civilians with black boxes pleading for her attention. Anko raised an eyebrow with maximum condescension. The civilian was undeterred. 

“Alright then.” She gestured for the girl to come closer. “The hell do you want?” 

The girl showed Anko the screen of her box. It had gibberish at the top but at the bottom was a clear question in plain Continental. Oh. Translation tool? That was awesome.

“Where am I going?” Anko read aloud. She shrugged. “The cruise ship stops in, uh, Florida? Florida and then goes back.” 

Several people said Florida very loudly. Anko glared at them on habit. 

“Florida gibberish,” said the girl. She seemed delighted about it. She pointed at Anko and repeated it. 

“Oh, did you give me a name?” Anko asked. Amused, she memorized the new syllables. Fine, whatever. She repeated it back. The girl nodded. Then she added more gibberish before the words. Anko memorized it. She repeated it. The lobby went nuts with applause. Anko bowed gallantly on her way out. She even let a few civilians use their black boxes to take photos with her. 

With her handy dandy map, Anko went tits and knives out on a race to kidnap her new friends before the cruise ship departed from the Philippines. Everywhere she went, people gasped and pointed at her. They often declared a portion of the phrase she had been taught at the tourist center. So, like, of course she shouted it back at them conversationally.

Anko probably should have checked the meaning in her dictionaries before she repeated it. But hell if it didn’t get an awesome reaction every time! So she flung her jacket open to show off the snakes wound around her shoulders and waist, put her hands on her hips, and proudly declared her memorized punch line. 

That photo made it onto a newspaper that a nice couple of old farts from Tea Country showed her back on the ship. 

“Shinobi-san,” called the old man. His wife smiled and doddled pleasantly as Anko glared across the distance. “Is this you?” 

Oh. She zipped over. “Yeah, it is.” Ha, she looked hot. Awesome. Anko snatched the foreign language paper away to examine it. The photo of her had a phrase in Roman characters above in huge print. She and the old people flicked through her dictionary to translate it. 

“Huh,” Anko said, leaning back to think. “I’m not a man. Do you think they didn’t see my tits?” 

“They saw them, don’t worry.” The old lady patted Anko’s hand for reassurance. “Perhaps it is some sort of title.” 

Well, Anko certainly deserved more titles. She took the paper to send back to Tsunade, as ordered, and shrugged it off. If the civilians of the outer countries wanted to worship her as some sort of avatar of Florida, well, who was she to stop them? Maybe she was some sort of destined hero for them. If that whiny Uzumaki kid could end up getting a bridge named for him on his first shitty jaunt out of the country, Anko didn’t see why she shouldn’t become a national hero for a country she hadn’t been to yet.

“I am the Florida Man,” she mused, back in her cabin. She let a hand hang off of her bed to scritch at the writhing carpet of friendlier snakes. “Fuck yeah I am.”

super short fanfic cuz im making this at 8:40 pm at night............. also credits to @insanekatlady for the au!

Memory: Oh, and please be patient. and do not peek especially during my take off on my cloak!

Memory laughs it off and takes off her cloak, not letting anything get to her. She’s busy with her own stuff, focused on everything that needs to be done. Meanwhile, Loop sneaks into Memory's room, sliding the door open a little bit too loud for comfort. The low light creates a few shadows on the walls, and he steps inside, curious about what he might find. Then... T H E N...

oh. OH STARS! WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU SEEING!? OHOHOHOHOHOOH!!!!!

Since almost all floor masters have some kind of sweets as their themes, which sweet you think doll Shin could have as his theme?

This is a delightful question!! So I’ll answer it right away!

Honestly, it’s hard for me to come up with anything original because I love what other folks have already come up with for this question! So I’ll share their work here. :)

@zombiotical has drawn Floor Master Shin with a cotton candy theme! You can see their work here, here, here, and here. I am absolutely in love with this design. It is playful and youthful.

Cotton candy is a good match for Shin because we see him eating it in Nankidai’s summer festival sketches.

@moonviewingtruth has drawn Floor Master Shin with a moonpies theme! You can see her work here, here, here, and here. I love this design too! The nods to coding and his scarf are such fun touches. And I love anything that shows moon symbolism for Shin, since his name is connected to the moon! 

Unfortunately, I don’t know any other artists off the top of my head who have tackled this subject. However, here are a few more ideas.

When I was talking to @joukester about your Shin-Sou roleswap AU, we came up with the idea that Floor Master Shin and Participant Sou could be pretending to be each other at the same time. Because that would be so funny. But if Shin is still using the Sou alias, then it would make sense for his sweets-theme to be sun-themed instead! So Joukester suggested chocolate sunflower seeds, which I thought was wonderfully creative!

Finally, my sister @knightotoc pointed out in the notes here that you can’t go wrong with a fancy suit. Why not let Doll Shin match Doll Sou in his suit? Why not tempt Doll Shin to the dark side with expensive clothes? Personally I’m very into this idea! Haha!!

After writing all that...what else is there? Shin’s favorite food is soup, but that’s not a sweet. Soup is forbidden, haha. My only other idea is that since Kanna is connected to ice cream and pudding, Shin could have his theme be one of those as a tribute to her. 

Anyway, I’m happy to have an excuse to collect these ideas together. If anyone else comes up with a good idea, feel free to tell me. I love all variants of Floor Master Shin. :) Let him be evil, muahaha
