Requesting Entry Hiii

[Hachi]

Arriving at the gate, Hachi looked up at the sheer height. Her ears flicked. "Uncle said villages are usually more welcoming to those who ask..." She spoke to herself.

She was only 5'3"; the gate was massive compared to her. Her auburn hair flowed with the gentle breeze.

She hesitated for a moment, her bare feet digging into the dirt below her feet before she reached out and knocked on the gate.

"Hello?? I'm Hachi! Can I come in?" She yelled as loud as she could to get the guards attention. She assumed there would be someone guarding the gate.

Her tail swayed, she felt her Kikai within her start to wake. She felt the little bugs on her skin, under her clothes. "Hold on little buddies, you gotta wait," she mumbled. She knew she was low on chakra. She didn't have control of her Kikai yet. She hoped soon she would. Her main priority was getting in and getting some steak skewers.

 

[Sazuki Nao]

Ryota's hands were raw from the splintered wood before he even noticed the blood. He'd been fussing with the same damn fencepost for half the morning, twisting it back and forth in its loose socket like a stubborn tooth. The farm plot wasn't much. Just enough for some greens and maybe a couple of chickens. "You're going to snap it clean through," called a voice from the lane. The Neighbor stood there with his arms crossed, sleeves rolled up past his elbows. "Twist it the other way first. Loosen the earth." Nao scowled but obeyed, digging his fingers into the dirt around the base. The post shifted with a wet, grudging sound. "Would've been easier with a proper tool," he muttered.

That neighbor snorted. "Would've been easier if you'd asked for one." He stepped closer, brushing Nao's hands aside to test the post himself. His fingers were calloused in a different pattern—more from rope than wood, Nao noted absently. "There. Now lift straight up." The post came free with a sucking pop, sending Nao staggering back a step. He caught himself against the neighboring fence rail, blinking at the sudden absence of resistance. The neighbor's mouth twitched—not quite a smile, but close enough that Nao felt his own shoulders relax.

It was then that his headset crackled to life and he heard that someone requested guards... The guards had been very few, so few that they had to station civilians around the place. So he made it his priority. "On my way.." he waved to the granny that the post was out and that he would return later to her. His promise to do it without chakra.

At the gates he still dabbed off his fist as he walked up to her. "Sorry to keep you waiting. What can I do for you? if you wish to enter, please submit your papers and why you wish to enter."
