Kouu walked into the massive wooden space of the bar, looking around as he took a booth and motioned Enryuu over.

“Howdy Kouu, how’s your pop?” the older man chuckled, ever amused by the boy’s familiarity with the bar scene at such a young age.

“He’ll be back from his mission later tonight; you’ll probably see him before I do.” the genin smirked. Roku enjoyed having a drink after a mission to calm whatever nerves he had before making his report and heading home to his son.

“I’m actually here to meet my team, Enryuu-san. If you could direct them over this way when they get here, I’d appreciate it. Also, could I get a club soda with lime?”

“Can do.” the bartender grinned though his bushy beard and made his way back to the bar. He didn’t need to know what Kouu’s associates would look like; bars don’t often to very brisk business during the day.

"Made it..."

The words had barely escaped the lips of the young Genin before a sheet of rain and hail crashed down on those unsuspecting village-goers with a rage known as all too familiar from the Land of Waves. Panting lightly, Ammiel hunched himself over slightly to prop his hands against his bent knees as he found a moment of silent reprieve, "I hope this is the place... I ain't going back out there into THAT any time soon, that's for sure..."

Righting himself, Ammiel took a quick scan of the surrounding bar. If he was honest, he had never found himself in this particular establishment before, he was more comfortable on the outside, with nature. Stealing a glance to the uniform rain pelting down, he was kind of glad his new Team's meeting wasn't outside.

Making his way to the bar and striking up conversation with the Staff was the most obvious choice to find who he was looking for, and Ammiel followed in suit, "Excuse me, I'm looking for my new Genin Team. You wouldn't happen to have noticed any other Genin or Jounin here today, have you?"

The aged man turn to Ammiel with a small smile and pointed over yonder, "Why yes, in fact, I have. A young gentleman came in not a few minutes ago with the same objective. Your welcome" The old man said in reply to the blonde youth's nod and smile.

Following the path the old man had directed, Ammiel soon found himself standing across from another male youth, this one holding a glass in his hand however. Introducing himself before taking a seat near enough to him without seeking to invade any 'personal space' the boy might have had, "Hello, my name is Reiki, Ammiel. Are you part of Team Kiku?"

Ikasu sat at a table, sipping some cold water that the tavern owner had given him earlier. He had been sitting there for a while. It was completely by accident that his team was going to meet there, he never got the memo. When he saw Kouu walk into the bar he didn't realize why, until he heard him ask about meeting with his team. When will I be placed on a team, He thought to himself, Wait, I don't want to be on a team. They only way me down. Then he had another thought, Maybe if it were with Kouu, the team wouldn't weigh me down. But he pushed that thought out of his head. He knew that Kouu was on a team now, so there was no point in thinking of what could have been. He took a drink of water and emptied his glass.

Kiku was watching the three Genin as they entered the bar. She was cloaked and hooded, to keep out the rain. When she was sure that they were each of them inside the bar, she darted in herself. Removing her cloak and hood, the kunoichi shook her her to rid it of stray raindrops. Upon glancing around, she noted that one of the three young shinobi was apart from the others, and seemed rather bored. "Thirsty?" Kiku prompted as she appeared behind the Genin with the empty glass.

Kouu was mid-sip when Reiki walked up, so he had to finish swallowing before his reply.

“That’s me. Orai, Kouu. Looks like we’re the first ones here. Enryuu-san, can we get a-”

Looking over to the bar, Kouu was mid-sentence before he saw the two figures talking, one of which looked to be Ikatsu. Genuinely happy to see his new friend, Kouu motioned Reiki to follow and walked over.

“I thought that was you, Ikasu. Who’s your friend?” Kouu asked, looking in the direction of the white-haired jounin.

A few minutes after Ikasu had placed the glass back on the table, and after some more contemplation, about teams, he heard someone speak to him, "Not really," he said impassively. He didn't know who the white haired woman was, but he did not really care. He would find out soon enough.
Not long after he said that, he heard a familiar voice, it was Kouu, with another person, who Ikasu did not know. He turned to him, "Hello Kouu," He said with some emotion, his mouth almost a smile. "I have no idea actually, she just showed up. You have any ideas."

Kiku chuckled as the three seemed baffled as to who she was. I wonder if any of them will figure it out. She thought to herself. They know my name, but not my appearance. Perhaps my Kaguya markings will give it away... She shook herself from her thoughts, wary that she hadn't spoken for some time. "Oh, I'm just sheltering from the stormy weather. One doesn't often see this many Genin in here at one time. Are you...meeting someone?" She asked, appearing non-chalant. Raising her hand slightly, she gestured to the bartender. He approached the kunoichi, who leaned in and ordered a non-alcholic drink. She had to be careful not to have any of the intoxicating fluid - it didn't bode well for those around her.

Following the young Genin's, whom he now knew to be called Orai, Kouu, lead, Ammiel noded in acceptance of his motioning guesture. Walking silently behind his newly found comrade, Ammiel quickly assessed the appearance of both newcomers; the first, a Genin of minor interest like them, and the other, an older woman with white hair and curious markings on her forehead. From the equipment she wore and the information he had gathered, Ammiel concluded she was a likely candidate of the Team's Jounin.

Remaining silent while words were exchanged, Ammiel thought to himself quickly, "Kouu obviously knows the boy, but neither seem to know the Jounin..." His expression remained casual and with a passive air despite the lack of formalities he had expected from meeting his new Team, "It appears she wants us to figure things out for ourselves..."

"Indeed we are... Sensei. You."

Though his statement came from the blue and held with it a certain tone of politeness, Ammiel couldn't help but reveal a certain sense of nervousness and excitment.

Kiku was impressed - the boy showed promise. "Oh. Heh. Well that was quick." The woman chuckled as she ran her hand across her head, feeling a little at a loss of what to say next. If she was honest, she had expected them to take longer to realize who she was.

"So, you three must be my Genin team." She remarked. Inclining her head towards each of them in turn, she spoke with each nod. "Ammiel...Kouu....and Ikasu." She flashed a rare smile at the three. "I checked your records before I came here." She explained, holding the smile on her face. "Still, records don't tell you everything. So - ninja skill number one: recconaissance. Tell me a little about yourselves, each of you. Fair's fair, so I'll tell you about myself when you're done." She paused, wondering who would answer first.

Ikasu was shocked, I am on this team? He asked himself. This can't be true. It would be too perfect. He looked at his sensei, and at his new team, and he knew that things would go well, especially with Kouu on his team.
Ikasu was the first to respond, "As you know, I am Toketsu, Ikasu. I was born here, but after some events I left the village for a few years, alone. I came back, joined the academy, became a genin, and that is all you need to know." He stopped talking, even though he only told them what was on his records, he didn't think they deserved to know more. Ikasu assumed that his sensei would know more details about him, specifically about the events of his childhood, and he hoped that she wouldn't say anything of it.

Kouu made a relaxed bow, nodding at Ikasu before speaking,

“Don’t mind him Sensei, he just takes a bit to warm up to people.” the genin nudged his new teammate, indicating his surprise at being teamed up as well. Turning his attention back to the jounin, he continued, scratching his head thoughtfully.

“I don’t know that I’m good for much as far as specializing goes…but I did get the fastest time in three years for the obstacle course at the graduation exams. That’s good, right?"

He stopped, looking thoughtful once again before brightening up, "Oh, and I'm a pretty decent shot from long range, too.”

"That's to be expected, I suppose... She wouldn't be a Jounin unless she did her homework."

Turning inward once more, Ammiel took to toying with the left sleeve of his overly large and unfashionable earthy brown shirt while still listening to the two Genin in turn regale the group of their 'stories'. He apparently became focused on fraying threads of material, twisting them together and releasing them to slowly unravel on their own.

"One's fast and one's a clam... Both will bring their own strengths to the unit, as well as their weaknesses."

As if on que, Ammiel coughed lightly as it was his 'turn' to reveal his secrets;

"Well I'm not bad with Ninjutsu and Taijutsu, nothing extra special there. Though I am planning to specialize with Medical Ninjutsu, so I should be pretty handy in a pinch."

Kiku nodded slowly, thoughts about her team running around inside her head. So, here we have one who is stubborn but determined; another who is a little uncertain of himself but full of hope; and a third who is planning for the future, but not concentrating as much on the present. A good mix. Thought the kunoichi, pleased with the Genin she'd been assigned. "Thank you, that should help me a little when we work together." She glanced at Ikasu for a second, aware that he had told her nothing she didn't already know. She hoped he would warm to their group sooner rather than later. "Right. I promised you some information in return, didn't I?" She mused, not really addressing any of the Genin in particular. "I am Kiku, of the Kaguya clan. There are very few of us that remain in this country, so I don't know if you've come across my kin before. I'm twenty-one years old, making me one of the younger Jounins around. I am a taijutsu specialist, though my skills extend beyond that mental image of punches and kicks you're all now thinking of." She wondered if they would ask more questions, though she knew she would not tell them anything else for the time being.

Ikasu listened quietly as the others told more about themselves. He only cared about Kouu's skills, but that was because he considered Kouu the only person worth befriending. However, he did take note all their skills so he could help create good strategies in combat.
When Kiku finished speaking, Ikasu had already come up with multiple battle strategies using the 4 of them, but he kept them to himself. He did not speak after she finished speaking either, he figured someone else might as well comment because another person would probably have a comment or a question, or at least something to say.

Now that the pleasantries were all done and over with, Kouu was keenly aware that Ikasu was the only one sitting, and that his drink was getting watery sitting back at his table. Nudging Ikasu once more (and making a mental note not to do it again for the night) and gesturing to the other two, he began walking over to the table.

“Well, now that we’ve gotten introductions out of the way, how about something to eat? This rain isn’t going away anytime soon. Enryuu-san! An order of barbecue pork, some tea, and warm sake for our jounin; she looks cold.”

Taking his seat, he gestured to the rounded booth that semi-circled the table as he picked up his drink, stirring the citrus around with his finger before taking a sip. He then turned to Kiku, the usual quizzical stare on his face.

“You said you were a Kaguya. I think we read about that in a history class at the academy. They almost destroyed your clan, didn’t they? I forget why, though.”

It was a touchy subject, but Kouu was curious, and he wasn't the smartest genin present...or at all, for that matter.

Responding very quickly after Kouu placed an order with the bartender, Kiku called out to him. "I'll get that, Enryuu-san. And keep the sake, you don't want me drinking anywhere near you or your establishment - trust me." She finished, a grim look on her face at the thought of alcohol. She got out her purse and paid for the order. Kouu had just asked her another question, but hearing it, Kiku felt that the subject was not to her liking, and pretended to ignore the Genin. Feeling guilty, she addressed them all with a slightly cheerier tone. "So! We all know each other now, let's begin training." The Genins' faces looked puzzled, owing to the fact they were indoors, in a bar, and it was raining heavily outside. Kiku smiled and withdrew a pack of playing cards from her pouch. "Yup, your first session starts right now." She added as she began to shuffle the pack of cards.

OoC: Aisu's on hiatus for a while, so let's just RP this like his genin left for whatever reason. So yeah, 3 man poker.
Kouu couldn’t resist a smirk as the jounin pulled out the deck of cards. He may not have been very smart, but he’d been watching his father’s friends come over every other week to play poker for the last couple years. If this was an exercise in bluffing, lying or outright emotional control, Kouu had this in the bag, as was evidenced by the completely deadpan look that crossed his features are Kiku began to deal.
