Hospital Prime Time

Mission specs:

Stat page:

Humming the lyrics of one of his favorite songs Sebastian made his way to his next location for the day. "Money, money, money. Must be funny. In the rich man's world". Once a rogue, now full time idiot, the Tau arrived well on time. It was no secret that the hospital of Sunagakure was understaffed and underfunded, that much he found out the last time he visited the place. Back then it was one of his closest friends, Guren, who told him about the current situation as the two coincidentally ran into each other. However, ever since that time he at least expected some improvement but going off the mission request it seemed they could still use some help.

With his usual companion Souji out of the village it seemed someone else would be accompanying Sebastian on his mission for once. If anything, it would be interesting to see whether or not the Tau was able to get along with anyone besides his Hyuuga friend. No matter how much he'd like to think otherwise, the fact people had trouble being around him was still true. With his 6'3 and 192 pounds Sebastian was a rather intimidating looking individual after all. The looks of those passing by, entering or exiting through the hospital doors said as much, doing their best to avoid the Tau. Oh well, all he could do about it was hope it would eventually change over time.

For now Sebastian would simply be standing at the entrance, his sleeveless hoodie exposing his muscular body covered in scars. While he was waiting for his companion to arrive, the Tau would go over the details listed in the report, something he usually did to make sure every part of the mission would be covered. "Inspect the inventory, distinguish expired medicins from new ones, check the bandages. Should be easy enough". After a couple of minutes Sebastian finished reading up, putting away the piece of paper, ready for the mission to begin as soon as the other party showed up.

In this big rich town, full of commerce and opportunity, one could wonder how something so pivotal to life lack the man power to sustain it. Perhaps during these troubled times, the rumors may actually be true. Something dark was to come in the near future, thus making sense of the allocated resources. What would Katsuragi know? He had no experience with matter such as this. Governing and such, he left that to the crooks in suits. His crooked self was on the way to the hospital, again. Apparently the higher ups didn't believe the reports. Something just didn't add up, the number before and after were so volatile it begged to question the solo audit performed by a man with a questionable record. This time, Katsuragi was sure to have a watchful eye over him, a sensible partner to aid him who's credentials matched more with the village's agenda.

Katsuragi's attire consisted of a thin black jacket, which underneath he wore a solid white shirt. His pants were a pair of black jeans. His boots also being solid black with an emblem labeled "EU", it's made of metal stitched to the tongue of the boots. His hair, still vivid, was a solid dark purple. His tools and such were all assorted evenly along his attire, given no hint to their whereabouts.

As he strolls up upon the hospital, his gaze  scanning the contents of the paper within his hands. it was all the same, except for one tiny little detail. A detail that was printed in bold letters. "Requires authentication of partner in order for the mission to be completed...",  Katsuragi pursed his lips as he cured the higher ups' names in vain. In all rights, Katsuragi really couldn't say much, he knew what he did. he was really frustrated at the fact that the board was coming down hard on him, catching on to his ways. As if the board of shinobi intelligence were a bunch of fools easily susceptible to getting hit up back to back licks. "Yeah,whatever..."

he stops a few feet away from the main entrance, lowering his paper down to his chest. He immediately found himself joined in unison by another built figure to his left. The two lowering each other's piece of paper at the same time wiped the tense look he had once before. replaced with a barely visible smirk, he eyes the giant up and down.

"Inventory?", he said rather blunt from a couple feet away. The employees and residents maneuver around the shady individual. There was work to be done.

Wondering what the best way to tackle today's mission would be Sebastian also couldn't help but be curious about the kind of individual he got paired with. Even though it had already been months since the Tau had officially joined the ranks of Sunagakure, the amount of people he actually interacted with so far was on the rather lower side of things. And even that was quite the understatement. Not that he would wake up in the middle of the night crying because the lack of friends, he simply preferred to keep low profile, far away from the masses of people who judged him on his appearance. 

At the same time as he put away his mission report Sebastian noticed someone simultaneously performing the same action. "Hm, he must be into heavy metal" the Tau spoke under his breath after seeing the man dressed in black. The stranger didn't really strike him as a shinobi, nor did he give off any air of being otherwise. It wouldn't necessarily come as a surprise to Sebastian, during his years as a mercenary he was used to getting paired with people he had never seen before or would never see again after finishing the job. Such was the life of a hired gun. Going by the same piece of paper they were carrying and what the man said it wasn't that hard to figure out both of them were there for the same reason. "You got that right. Seems like we'll be working together for this one". Still being avoided by those entering and exiting the building Sebastian figured it was time to head in and see what had to be done.

Assuming the man confirmed his thoughts and followed behind, the Tau would enter the hospital and make his way to where they had to handle the inventory. "You've done this before?", it wasn't much but perhaps it allowed for them to break the ice and make some conversation while sorting and checking all the different boxes of medicines and whatnot. Going between some of the materials he was able to spot a couple of things that might or might not be useful or nice to have. Sebastian did remember reading something about being allowed to grab some stuff in case they stumbled upon anything useful. Perhaps that was exactly what he would do, but only after finishing the task ahead of them.

Back at it once again, the two made their way towards the warehouse. Katsuragi, followed behind a couple feet back. He didn't need to follow him to know where to go, this wasn't his first time after all. he just didn't feel comfortable having the stranger at his backside; especially one that reminded him of the gentle giant, Raleth. This person was built, easily over 200 pounds. He wondered how he would fare in a fight hand to hand?

As they got to the warehouse he was asked if he had done this before. He forms a long face while looking back at the piece of paper he was given. Why yes he has in deed. And this time he was to do it the right way..., he slowly looks towards his left at giant; fumbling through the cartons and such. He sees nothing but a man wider than a door frame, and full of scars. All those bruises and cuts for what? 2000 ryo? Katsuragi hardly saw that as a fair trade. He wondered if his partner really believed in all this. he refused to believe him to be another image like Raleth. Big for nothing babies only alive to do what they are told. "Yeah.., i've done this before. I bet you do a lot for this village. They pay you any good?", he immediately follows through with a reminder. "oh, and imma need you to sign this paper. Saying we did this shit the right way", he continues to hold his gaze towards..."hol up, what's your name again?"

he stands against the desk, waiting for a reply. It was already made up in his mind that he wasn't going to lift a finger if he didnt have too. No way was he gonna get got again. But, he did shuffle through some papers on the desk. Lightly organizing some P.Os and shipping labels.

'Noooooope'

Putting some bandages in his pockets Sebastian listened as the man finally began to speak. "Alright, good to know". At least he knew what the job had in store for them. While going through the many different boxes the Tau threw away a couple of expired medicines, distinguishing them from the newer ones and those that were still available to be used. "Hm? I'm pretty new so I suppose you could say I'm doing my best to leave a good impression" he replied while continuing to inspect the inventory. "I earned some, I spent some. I had something in mind when I decided to join Sunagakure, and for that I need some money". Sebastian closed off one of the boxes as a sign it was checked and good to go.

Grabbing another piece of carton the Tau quickly made his way through all of them. If he had any say in it he wouldn't spend any longer than he had to. "Yeah sure, give it here". He stretched out his arm for some kind of paper that said they did their job correctly and for whatever reason he had to sign it. Reading it over quickly, wondering what the hell it was all about he'd finally sign it. "It's Sebastian. Mikaelson is my last name but most people call me Seb. Here you go, signed, sealed, delivered, it's yours" the Tau would return it to his companion. "What about you?". There had to be a reason as to why they required a paper to be signed, not that it seemed fishy but it wasn't like that on any of his other missions.

A couple of minutes later and a few more bandages in his side pockets the Berserker had finally finished up. Not that he received that much help but it wasn't anything he couldn't handle on his own in the first place. "Looks like we're done here. I'll fill in the mission report and you can deliver that paper or whatever it is. I'll probably go out for a drink after. If you want you can join me and you can tell me all about why you needed proof of doing the mission like it's supposed to be done. Deal?" Whether or not the man agreed would be completely up to him, but for now Sebastian would head out and finish the report before heading to one of his favorite bars in the village.

A crooked smile formed upon the face of the young hustler, this was easier than he thought. He assumed that he would have to give him the run around around and cozy up to the giant, but much like the gentle giant he met not too long ago... it was safe to assume that the sand village grew their shinobi big and dumb. Katsuragi guessed it was something in the water, all the shinobi here were quite tall and muscular. It wouldn't be bad at al if Katsuragi got a hold of whatever diet they were on. The workout portion he assumed that was required wouldn't be a big deal. He started to think back during his days in prison, lifting weights and such out in the yard. of course he wasn't alone, you always needed a group to go with you to look out for one another. He basks in his questionable yet non boring past all before receiving the signed paper, which he promptly rolled up and shoved into the inner pocket of his jacket with haste. No give backs where he was from, he secured the document close.

"Seb huh", he takes one more gaze at his frame once more. "yeah im Katsuragi, look im be real with you. Im not about doing too much work today. I already this before, plus I already got what I wanted so I'm file all the papers here while you handling the lifting", he walks around the desk towards the chair. The two continued to do their tasks and what not. Seb managed to secure a few items of his own as katsuragi noticed. he smirked at the action, deeming it acceptable in his eyes. Moments later, the two managed to finish the task in record time. Which surprised him because it took him way longer to finish the task, but with two people doing the work he figured it would all make sense eventually after a bit of time passes.

As he stood up from the chair, his partner spoke to him once more, interrupting the silence that once took hold of the whole situation. The offer of a drink at a local bar didn't sound too bad to him, Katsurgai sure did enjoy a few drinks with some gambling. he remembered the last time he was at the bar, day drinking. he lost over 5000 ryo to some strange pixie child. He'd never forget that day, he loved the thrill of watching dice roll and coins flip high in the air. "Sure, not like there isn't that much else to do aside from drinking the day away" he looks onward towards the door as Seb made his way there. He thought about asking him what his daily routine was, eyeing his figure. But, then decided to say that small talk for the bar hopping scene. He was sure to find him some other day whenever he was ready to see him. the thing about being a part of the shinobi system. criminal or shinobi was that everyone was connecting. No matter how small or petty the crime or mission detail. everything was documented. Katsuragi thinks back to the time when he was allowed entry into the village. He was quite surprised he was allowed entry despite his criminal record. Only to find out that he and many other criminals like himself were allowed entry. Almost all the recent immigrants allowed in had criminal backgrounds.

"Hmm", nevertheless, he tries not to dwell on the past, such pain ticks of each scene in prison always found a way to bring him down. What he needed to remedy such affliction was a distraction. He nods his head up and down with a crooked smile. Thought of women and gambling did well as a much needed, distraction. After the job was done, he too left the scene. he checks his coat pocket, feeling the paper within to make sure everything was in order. Even thought what he was being paid was chump change, it was till money owed to him at the end of the day.

Moment later he is scene standing before the ever judging panel of higher ups representatives. They all eyed the criminal with a hawk eyed gaze. They knew who he was, the one who picked a fight with a jounin in the village market. They also knew, that he got his ass kicked rather swiftly following the ordeal. maybe that was the only reason why he was still able to undergo mission for the village, despite his temper. Regardless, after viewing the signature of Seb and comparing it with the history of ledgers, katsuragi was paid his fair wage and was sent on his way. with a fist full of ryo, Katsuragi headed down the market for a bit of shopping. tonight would be one hell of a distraction for the ex con.
