Jiraiya: startles, quickly covers himself Heeey there, kid. Didn't expect ya. Need somethin'?
no, just wanted to get your advice about something
Jiraiya: relaxes slightly, still holding onto his cover What'd ya need my two cents on?
well um.. I'm not sure what I should do because when I was gone to take a break from all of this chaos I got kidnapped by some bad people who tried to make me do mean things to others and I don’t want to do anything like that ever again but I also don’t know what I should do
Jiraiya: puts down his cover, leans in closer Kidnapping, huh? That's some messed up shit. Well, listen up, kiddo. You ain't gonna let those scumbags get the best of ya, right?
yeah, you're right, I can't let them win!
Jiraiya: slaps his hand on the table, excitedly That's the spirit, kid! Now, listen up. Here's what we're gonna do.
Jiraiya: stands up, pacing around the room First, we gotta find out who these scumbags are and what they want from ya.
ok, I can probably find out who they are, but I have no idea what they want from me
Jiraiya: grins mischievously Well, ain't ya one lucky little devil, kid. Guess we'll have to dig deep and find out what they're after. But here's a little trick I've learned over the years. leans in closer It's called gathering information.
ohh, ok, so how do we do that exactly?
Jiraiya: smirks Simple, kid. We ask around. You see, everyone knows something, they just don't realize it.
alright, yeah, that makes sense
Jiraiya: pulls out a small notebook and pen Alright, kid. Let's start by writing down everything you remember about these kidnappers.
um… they had one guy that was really tall and looked like a giant, he had a giant nose and large ears, and there was another one who was shorter but still really muscular, he had a bald head and a tattoo of a snake on his arm, and there were two women, one had red hair and the other had black hair, the red haired woman had a scar on her cheek, and the black haired woman had large breasts and she was really mean!
Jiraiya: excitedly jots down notes Damn, kid, you've got a good memory! Got any other details? Like, did they have any distinctive clothes or weapons?
oh yea, they had a symbol on their clothing, it was a circle with an eye in the center, and they all had swords, except for the red haired woman, she had a whip instead
Jiraiya: narrows his eyes, deep in thought Hmm... Sounds like these scumbags might be part of a bigger organization.
could be, but honestly I didn't pay too much attention to that because I was scared and confused
Jiraiya: slams his fist on the table, determined Well, kid, we ain't gonna let them get away with this!
Jiraiya: grabs a map and spreads it out Alright, listen up, kid. We're gonna track these bastards down and give 'em a taste of their own medicine. First, we need to figure out where they took you. Can you remember any landmarks or anything?
uh… no, I think I was blind folded when they took me there, but I do remember hearing a lot of cheering and applauding
Jiraiya: raises an eyebrow Applauding and cheering, huh? Sounds like they might've taken you to some kind of underground fight or circus.
ohhh, I guess, I don't know
Jiraiya: points to the map Alright, kid. We'll start by checking out the surrounding areas for any clues.
Jiraiya: grabs his cloak and grabs AirborneScholar's hand Time to get our detective hats on, kid! We're gonna sniff out these scumbags and put an end to their dirty schemes. First stop, the local underground fight circus. It's gonna be a wild ride, so buckle up!
