[The Scene: Generic Clearing in the woods of CFUD]

[... well, not so generic now, what with the logs of varying height driven into the ground in a purposeful pattern. Someone's been busy for this training exercise. And left a packed lunch and alarm clock under a nearby tree while he was at it.]

Well, Ami-san? Ready to hear the rules of the

*Checking a few things, then looking up*

Sure. What's the task?

[knowing_smile]

Your objective, is quite simple. Occupy the highest of the logs for more than ten seconds. *waves hand in general direction of the setup, said log looking to be roughly in the centre of the formation*

That is all you need in order to succeed... which then leaves us with the conditions for failure.

[hascoldhands]

Sounds simple enough. And the disqualifications?

[knowing_smile]

The exercise may also conclude when the timer- *inclines head towards the alarm clock* -goes off, which will not earn you a pass. Moreover, touching the ground will be grounds for your disqualification.

There are to be no restrictions on techniques for this, use what you wish- I certainly will. And of course, bear in mind that your opposition- *touches his chest* -will have had time to prepare this ground in their favour.

Any questions?

[hascoldhands]

*idly scanning the area...this is going to be rather difficult....*

I will do my best not to dissapoint, then.

Contact with the ground and the timer are my only limits? What's the time limit setting?

[knowing_smile]

That is a secre-

*pauses*

... the clock will ring in ten minutes.

[hascoldhands]

... Ah. Understood. I suppose we should get started, then. By your leave....

[knowing_smile]

*lightly leaps onto one of the outermost logs*

Begin.

[hascoldhands]

*Okay, so strategize--he already gave an adequate amount of clues. We can assume that one was a Bushin. We can also assume the clock is rigged. Well, everything's rigged, let's just focused on unravelling the traps in a timely fashion.*

*Step one, get off the ground. Visor on, looking for any irregularities and if she were thinking she would have clicked it on BEFORE coming to the site. And heading to a nice, sturdy-looking log.*

[knowing_smile]

*and the second she touches down on her log, a trio of batarangs are in the air, aimed at her head- let's see if we can't eliminate that visor from the equation, even if only for a while. Stunning her would also be a pleasant bonus*

[hascoldhands]

*--Batarangs?*

*Well, that has to be the first person to actually go for the tactics visor. Two are dodgable, but that's just the setup for the third, now isn't it?*

*Lost: Tactical visor*

*Time to keep a small eye on that location, and be prepared for other triggers. A couple of kunai into a different log, and we're leaping in that direction.*

[knowing_smile]

*A non-lethal legacy from a Halloween as Batgirl... kind of*

*And Kabuto's just... standing there, watching as she lands, and nothing happens. Looks like that log is clean*

[hascoldhands]

*Looks are often decieving. Energy/chakra clinging to the log and picking up the kunai, now. It'll be far too long before the visor's repaired--not an option, we KNOW there's something else funky around here.*

*Eyeing the highest post of the logs...but chucks one kunai to a log closer to her perch, and leaps there.*

[knowing_smile]

*casually hopping from log to log, making his way closer to that centre log*

*... meanwhile, guess which log was sliced in half and glued back together so that any significant impact or weight applied would cause it's upper half to fall off?*

[hascoldhands]

*--DIRTY POOL, ninja boy. scrambling for purchase with second kunai and yelping just a little.*

*Purchase found, Ami leaves the other kunai still quite-stuck in the trick log and tries to trail Kabuto-clone?'s path with those first few logs. Leap again~*

[knowing_smile]

*Calls over his shoulder as she makes contact with one of the logs in his trail*

Not bad. But I hope you've considered that those might be hiding surprises as well, ones not triggered by the passage of someone who knows how they were set up.

*... though this log seems to be safe enough, no reaction*
