Requesting Exit i need to leave. [req. Exit w/ Passports]

[Komorebi Rin]

And the moment, in its weight, was almost solemn. There was a heaviness to her steps, each lift of her leg a hammer on an anvil to come down slowly, with burden, once more; as if in a dream, that door ever present moving further from you while limbs turn to jelly and breath dies in gasps at your throat. She had never made it out of Sunagakure before. She had fantasized, many, many times, yet always caught herself before an attempt was made on the chance - the chance - that tragedy would play as she had heard of so many times before. Runners weren't uncommon in a Shinobi world. Treason, maybe even moreso. There was something about these expectations, this patriotism, this ... this ... responsibility thrust upon you from not so much as a measure of your skill but WORTH that had a way of eating at anybody.

It was with that same heaviness - her own expectation, now, and the very taste of freedom - that she moved languid to the gate with her recently obtained passport and entourage in tow: and she couldn't so much as offer the memory of a smile. Her expression was sharp. Her eyes, focused on the horizon. There was nothing inside nor out except a mechanical need to do what she's always needed to do.

Just get away. Anything else can be figured from there. All power comes from bullshitting the world.

"Shall we, my darlings?"

Hojirozame Samezuka and Akizuki Shiki will also be posting their leave ]

 

[Shikabane Ryo]

Akizuki Shiki had always been a prisoner within some cell. Whether it was at home, under the authority that ruled the shinobi way or even within the very gates of the village. Finally, he could operate under his own accord, if even for a little while, with travelling companions he had some semblance of fondness for. He had to maintain appearances, casually strutting along with his retinue, trying to conceal his excited grin under the shade of his crown. The truth is he had no real plan for what awaited them on the outside. He still maintained his lofty ambitions, but the path ahead could be more like... A dance, yes? The excitement comes from the sporadic twirls and hops that are not required for the choreography. And what was this adventure if not a series of hops and twirls?

"Let's get out and have a little fun, yes?" He passes a quick glance to Nana and Hoji, fangs laid bare to reflect the scorching sun's gleam.

[Hojirozame Samezuka]

Having said everything he'd needed to say and being kicked out of the Kazekage Tower it was about time for him and Fuku to leave with his two travelling companions. He was unsure of the journeys they'd face and didn't really know how they were in life or death situations other than Nanaka's aerial prowess. Although he didn't really care how strong they were! It didn't matter to him, as long as he himself could protect them he'd be happy and he knew he'd do the best he could. Even if it meant throwing it all on the line like he'd done many times before. If one would look very closely they'd see his eyes were a lot more dried up and smaller than usual due to all the crying not so long ago. Although he would try his best to be his normal happy go lucky self, goodbyes were hard.

"Hrey Shraniki! Nahnahka! Yreah! Lret's go..!" Fuku would let out a small chirp as Hoji grabbed his passport and would bring it to Nahnahka to show to the guard. There was still a lot unlearned, and a lot unanswered, but they'd do it together!

[Kureji]

It was Sumire's time to be the gate guard. It was all quiet. When she finally saw three kids approaching the gates. She instantly knew of Nanaka. She gave her a soft smile as the group approached her.

They would all hand her their passports and she would look them over before handing them back to them all.

"Please be safe you all. Nanaka, I look forward to hanging out more."

(Granted to leave the village)

 

[Komorebi Rin]

And that horizon was now theirs to explore. A sigh beneath the building tension - and a fear, inverted in twisting twine inside her chest, of its approach. She looked past the gates after bidding her pleasantries - genuine ones, at that - for lady Sumire as she appeared to grace them. "It would be my pleasure, my lady. Know in our absence that I'm full sure you'll handle affairs here." A smile, between a play and a comfort.

Yet, that horizon remained. Yet, her feet refused to move. Would it be Shiki, or Hoji, that made the first step she found herself unable to? An uncharacteristic tremor ran spirals on the edges of her passport. She couldn't waver like this. Not now.

What was the world like, outside the funhouse? What would she find staring back at her?

It wasn't fear that kept her inside.

It was uncontrollable, intense thrill. What were dreams made of but the escape of fetter? What would she be now? What would anything be to HER?

hhh. hhh. hhh.

And for that final step, that resounding click, she didn't so much as look back.

[Shikabane Ryo]

An unfamiliar woman to bid the trio adieu as she cracks open the gates to a new chapter. The group consisted of outcasts and miscreants the same, fangs ready to gnash and devour anything that got in their way. The sense of impending revelry was positively electrifying. Beasts being released from captivity. The whole world was their playground now.

And what fun would they all get up to?

"Thank you, ma'am~" A cheeky grin and a bow. A show of courtesy, polite and unassuming. But, how he wished to leap out those gates, feet tapping in anticipation to begin a life of his own choosing. He would wait for his party, taking those steps together with them for whatever sentimental significance that might hold, to Shiki or otherwise, not once looking back on the gates closing behind.

[Hojirozame Samezuka]

Hoji would simply take back his passport with a hesitant look, it seemed as if their efforts to leave had proved valid and they would be making their way out. A few months ago he would have been jumping with joy to leave yet he couldn't help but feel a little scared. Going back in to the wild, would he be the same person he once was back then? At least with Fuku by his side and hopefully Shraniki and Nanaka the four would be an unstoppable duo. All he had to do was hope. With his signature smile he would look at Sumire as he nodded, as if to say 'Thranks!' and hobbled out the gates behind his teammates.
