Relegated to third shift for oodles of money. tons of time on my hands. Muse (no emo-band) active. Lets fuggin go.

Hey, can you re-activate my poor konoha?

<r><I><s>[i]</s>But where did he go?<e>[/i]</e></I> The question sat in Minoru's mind, waiting to be asked, begging to be let free. Kau shared more with these men than his own family. It was, in fact, Kau's family that he ran from. Even before the incident, during his daily life, alcohol was nothing...

<r>The training grounds were far from empty. Minoru took to the old grounds, letting the memories wash over him, coldly categorizing the feelings he once knew. The young version of himself was eager, perhaps to the point of naiveté. Mino remembered desperately wanting to fail, to persevere, to do an...

<r>The world moved without him. This was absolutely no surprise. Amidst the rebellion, the rebuilding and the ensuing de-stabilization of the region, it made sense that Hokage-Sama (his sensei, he thought, which should have brought him a stab of pride, and perhaps even a little bit of surprise) woul...

indeed, welcome back!

<r><I><s>[i]</s>Konoha is a good place<e>[/i]</e></I> He told himself this while he watched the exchange. He made no obvious attempt at hiding himself, he just happened to be on the way back from the bar. The curfew was a change, but it meant the world was bad, and that Konoha was just adjusting. Di...

<r><COLOR color="gold"><s>[color=gold]</s>"Gods die."<e>[/color]</e></COLOR> <br/> <br/> There was a quiet after that, though Minoru didn't intend it to be weighted.

<r>Memories should have swirled in Minoru's head. A trigger full of shame, of loss, of memories should have flooded over him. He should have clenched his fists, fighting with himself to remain stoic after hearing Yoru speak. Visions of his old home, what was left of his mother flashed though his hea...

<r>Minoru welcomed the man who was once a mentor and friend. The first thing about the home was the smell. It was an earthen smell, freshly turned dirt, like a cemetery after a funeral. One half of the dwelling was filled with plantlife, and the herbal smell mixed with the earthy musk to create a sl...

<t>The Konohaulic was closed, and Minoru had made his goodbyes to the men inside. He hadn't touched a drop of alcohol the entire night, something the men found impressive. Walking back to the hovel he called home, the Awai took a rather leisurely pace. It wasn't difficult for the man to navigate the...

<r>Minrou saw Yoru approach, the famed Banin was certainly in the wrong part of town. He had purposely avoided everyone for quite some time, looking for his father was something he had to do alone, at least that's what he told himself. He also didn't want anyone seeing him, for fear they'd remind th...

<r>What was once Minoru entered the bar at his usual time (when it opened) and asked for his usual drink. (Sake- in a glass, not a cup.) He downed the first, and sipped his second glass, keeping his head down and his eyes lowered. He sat in the same stool his father, Kau, sat- he spoke to the same d...

<r>The man sauntered on surprisingly quick feet toward the training area, memories swimming up in him as he passed his old stomping grounds. It made him think of Makoto- of Team 19. Even then, young Konoha genin practiced their forms alone, or in small groups under the watchful eye of a Jonin or Chu...

<r>It all made perfect sense. What was Minoru watched as words that should have ripped his soul apart entered into him, settling in the same emptiness where the pain of loss should have been. The words Aina and Gene said were true and real. Being such, they did not penetrate the heart that no longer...

<r>Minoru stopped and turned. For a long second he watched Aina and Gene, face impassive as stone. Internally he was frozen. He observed Aina's movements, remembering everything he loved about her: her face, her smile- her eyes and how they burned when she was concentrating. He remembered her tone- ...

<t>The world was a cold place. <br/> <br/> What was once Awai, Minoru sauntered from the bar, feigning drunkenness. Two steps to the left, one shuffle forward.

I may be coming back this way on weekends and such, I'm looking forward to rebuilding Mino and seeing what the world looks like.

<r>Minoru wondered for a moment how to explain his situation. <I><s>[i]</s>Well you see after I found my mother in pieces all over my living room, I lost it, killed some people, got a large mystical beast ripped out of my body and didn't die. They anchored my soul to a rock and now I have to concent...

<r>Chakra pulsed and swirled in the Awai as he exercised his mind that compelled his once broken body. His voice was pained and gravely- not at all belonging to the youthful face that spoke. Mino supposed he could change this- could find the voice he once had. But in a way, it was one of many small ...

Grats!!!! Love you guys!!!

<r>The day began. The blackness of night infused with whispers from the sun caressing the Land of Fire- communicating in the most precious commodities, warmth, light, safety. Minoru watched, stonefaced, as a miraculous thing happened. The light- touching moisture in the air and reflecting off oceans...

<r>What an interesting question. <br/> <br/> Minoru had a lifetime flash before his eyes so fast it made his head spin. At one point there would have been a wry smile. Thoughts of love and friendship. Aspirations of normalcy, perhaps with a dash of grandeur. Now.. <br/> <br/> <COLOR color="gold"><s>...

<r><COLOR color="gold"><s>[color=gold]</s> "Fine." <e>[/color]</e></COLOR> The word was like a dying rasp. Inside the grating voice were the tears the boy should have shed.
