A Most Devious Plan [I/O]

After he had taken the photos of the old couple and they were satisfied with them, he was complete with that mission and he headed back to where the partners’ agreed meeting place was. He would find and notify his partner that he was going to be doing another mission, and this time the mission he had chosen was something that was fairly new to Grey, but something that he thought he would be great at. He had told his partner he was taking the mission that had him going somewhere to help a carpenter build something. Apparently he was going to be on his own, so it couldn’t be anything too complicated, at least Grey thought that at least. Grey had informed his partner, so he hurried to the spot where the carpenter was, which was simply an open garage type area that was attached to his home. Grey walked up and greeting the man, which seemed to be a middle aged gentleman that was a sort of no nonsense type person. The garage was filled with various tools for woodworking, blocks of wood, and what looked to Grey like unfinished sculptures made out of wood. He liked the idea of doing things like this, and the man started to explain the basics of what Grey was going to be doing for him. This didn’t include anything crazy or fancy, as Grey simply needed to cut out pieces of wood for the man, which seemed pretty simple, but it would take Grey quite a bit to actually get used to the saws that he was going to be using. He was sure that he could make straight cuts though, which is all the man asked for.

Standing in the position he was set in, Daiki was still helping tourists out from whence they came. Some wanted to visit places that were not even remotely close to the attractions that were suppose to be around this particular area so sometimes even Daiki was a little puzzled. A confused smile had appeared on his his face when a small family of three asked him about a particular attraction that was nowhere near here. Daiki had to find the answer from his client and his client had told him to tell them they were in the wrong part of town. It was unfortunate for the family they came all this way to find out they were in the wrong part of town but maybe, just for them, he would try and interest them in another site so they wouldn't have come this way all for naught. It didn't take too much convincing for them to find an attraction they would all enjoy and with that, they would even discover some sights they didn't even initially plan on visiting. With that out of the way, Daiki's shift would soon be over as he peered over at the time nearby. Soon, soon he'd be out of this boring job and collect his payment for two. After another hour or so, Daiki was done as he went over to the client and collected his fee for a job well done. With that Daiki, Daiki beamed and began to head to his next destination, wondering what job he should take next on the list gray seemed to have collected.

With the grating sound of a saw sliding across some wood, Grey immediately started to cut some of the blocks of wood to the proper sizes. He started with one of the blocks that was already marked, it was more of a template, and the next wooden planks would have to be marked carefully before he started sawing. He had a place that was simply a stable table for him ti put the wood and start sawing, so the stability of himself and the cut would depend entirely upon himself. This was fine in his eyes, as he was stronger than most average people, even though he never really focused too hard on his physique, and he was definitely not a taijutsu specialist. He held the piece of wood stable enough, and started sawing. He was careful to watch what he was doing and make sure that there were no uneven cuts on the piece of wood. He wanted to be done with this fairly quickly, as he and his partner had quite a lot of missions to get through that day, and so he wanted to make the least mistakes possible in all of these. The man said that if he was slightly off, he could always readjust the cutting angle and then sand down the parts that were off, and so Grey did just that. The very first cut went off to the side very slightly, but enough to where Grey’s eye for detail kicked in, and so he stopped and readjusted the board. The off cut was extremely minor, but the carpenter that was there gave him a nod, acknowledging that he had made the correct decision.

Daiki remembers hearing about a photo shoot as the first mission his brother was going to take. He figured he would go and check up on the progress of that and see what had happened. Backtracking to the building where they had gotten permission to take the quests from, Daiki figured he'd show up to at least collect his payment for 'helping' with the photo shoot he was always present for. When we arrived at the destination of the shoot, it turns out the photo shoot was indeed finished but the photographer had been cleaning up and putting away his equipment. Daiki figured if he helped out with this, it would be plausible to demand payment even if he wasn't there. Putting his plan into action, Daiki had appeared at the most opportune moment and insisted he was here the entire time helping out his brother behind the scenes. He then stated he was left to assist with clean up while his brother, the previous shinobi that was here assisting them. The client was a bit confused but they could use the help so they allowed Daiki to assist him in the clean up and the breaking down of equipment. Afterwards, the client thanked Daiki and paid him his share of the money for his help. They had parted ways and Daiki was already thinking of the next mission he should go and take on the list of requests his brother, 'Gray' had taken. He already had one in mind and he figured he'd just go straight there.

Grey had corrected the board and continued sawing, making his mistake seem less and less bad as time went opn. One could tell that the board was slightly off if one was a professional, but he was helping the old man cut a bunch of wood for various things, and so the man told him that he was fine to leave it there. The clients would get what they paid for, the old man said, before placing the finished chunk of wood into a pile of similar looking pieces. The planks of wood that he was cutting would be a base anyways, Grey thought, as he looked on and continued cutting, as there was nothing that was stopping the old man from using the pieces he was cutting for something better. This continued for some time, before Grey had finally finished cutting the pieces and asked if that was all he had to do for the day, to which the man replied that was it, and he could go and collect his payment. This meant that the two of them could collect payment for this, as the old man simply handed him a slip saying that the job was done. There would be little fact checking on the village’s part, so this was a pretty easy way for the two of them to get a bit of money. The old man also didn’t mind at all because Grey cut the pieces fast enough for two people because of his previous line of work, so to speak, so it didn’t really matter if another person showed up, the work was done in a decent way and within the time limit that was set. Grey just needed to head back to the meeting point to see if he could catch the Doctor and update them on the situation, and of course to pick another mission. The easy ones were going by fast, and Grey noticed that they might have to work on the other ones together, as they would be getting a lot more difficult.

The next mission he had to do was rather simple. An elderly couple were requesting assistance from anybody willing to help prepare a fabulous dinner. They were even willing to have shinobi aid in doing so. The task was rather simple so Daiki figured he might as well go and help out a bit.  Making his way to his destination, Daiki arrived in a matter of minutes as it wasn't too far from his previous location. He'd meet up with the clients and they had given him a simple to do list. Looking over the list, he saw he needed to go to the local market to pick up some groceries with some money they had provided him, tidy up their place in order for them to prepare a religious gathering for the two of them and some other like minded individuals. Daiki wasn't the religious sort of person but he did need some cash in his pocket so he took the list and got straight away to work. He went to the market first in hopes of getting the ingredients for the dinner first before it was sold out. Managing to get the requested items, it was time for him to head back to the house, hand the ingredients over and begin tidying the place up while they cooked. It took a couple of hours before everything was ready when the guests started to pour in. The guests gave Daiki rather scornful looks due to being a shinobi. It didn't help that he was seedy looking to begin with. Still he kept up with his charade of being the dutiful servant until the entire dinner party was over. He wondered if gray was somewhere around nearby but alas, he figured he had things covered over on his end. After the dinner, Daiki was paid handsomely for his efforts and he set off to his next destination.

Grey had finished his mission, and would be going onto the next one, and got to the meeting place fairly quickly. He swiftly asked the people around the area if they had seen the Doctor, describing him was fairly easy, and the people around had said that they had just seen him leaving somewhere, and so Grey was going to catch up as fast as he could. Following the directions of some people over and over, Grey finally saw the back of the Doctor walking towards another area and quickly caught up to him. He didn’t want to yell out Doctor’s name in the middle of the street, as that might give the wrong impression, as if he was yelling out that he needed some sort of doctor, but he didn’t need anything like that, and he certainly didn’t want the unwanted attention that yelling something like that would give in a fairly crowded public area. He got up close to the Doctor, and upon confirming it was really him, Grey immediately talked to him in a slightly quiet tone of voice. This tone wasn’t anything like whispering, as anyone that was close to them could still hear them, but again, he didn’t want to say the word ‘Doctor’ any louder than he needed to on a busy street, and so he talked slightly quieter than normal. “Hey Doctor, I finally caught up with you! I brought the other mission slips that weren’t taken yet, and it seems like we’re making good progress.” Grey said with enthusiasm, looking at the small stack of papers that he had, a few of them having some signatures on them. Grey flipped through the ones remaining, skipping the one that was low ranked so that he could take full advantage of having his partner with him.

Moving onto his next destination, Daiki didn't exactly know what he should do next. He figured he could just recall what his partner was doing and go from there. Before he could finish making his decision however, his attention was being grabbed by his so-called brother who seems to have done most of the missions. He wondered how he found him but he wasn't exactly hiding himself so he just turned to greet him with his usual grin. "Hey there 'brother'. How've been," Daiki had said as his partner ran towards him to greet him. It turns out he had arrived right on time as if some sort of higher power was listening to his minor worries as his brother had informed him he had brought the rest of the mission slips. This was good as he needed a refresher and wanted to see what they could do together in order to speed things along. Before choosing something they could both do, he wondered what Gray had been up to this entire time. It was best for them to cross reference what they had already done and finish the rest of the missions together unless they were in separate locations like before. "Perfect, now then. What missions have you taken since we've split up at the beginning. I've done the cat, took a shift for the information booth, help the photographer clean up his equipment and help with dinner arrangements," Daiki had said a bit confidently. After he had gotten a response from Gray, they could plan their next move.

Grey was glad that the Doctor had been rather productive with what he was doing, as he had done one more mission than Grey himself did, but that was mostly because the damned carpenter had him there for way to long, cutting a large number of boards to the right sizes. He shrugged to himself while thinking about it, and decided to respond to the Doctor about what he had done. “Great, I’ve done the photo op thing from start to finish, and then went and helped a carpenter cut a bunch of wood to size for the rest of the time, that was a bit annoying.” Grey sighed, before turning and looking around at where they were. He would then start leading the both of them towards one of the lots that was fairly nearby, as this was the location of one of the missions that they were going to do next. This mission involved knocking down an old building by any means necessary, and he wondered how strong the Doctor was, or if he was a simple scientist like Grey was. Still, Grey had a couple of ways to knock down parts of a building, so he wasn’t in much of a dilemma. “Let’s head this way so that we can knock out one of the missions… this one to be exact.” Grey would say, grabbing the slip that had the information on the building demolition. They rounded a street corner and soon they could see the old building. It was decaying, one could see that right off the bat, and it almost looked like it would be knocked down without their help. Grey wondered why they hired ninja in the first place, and it must have been cheaper to hire them than using a bit of explosive tags or something.

So Gray had indeed done and completed the photo shoot which wasn't really a surprise to Daiki since he showed up for the aftermath of cleaning up and putting away the photographer's equipment. He'd also help a carpenter with the cutting and the shaping of wood. By the sounds of it, he didn't enjoy that activity much. Just like Daiki didn't enjoy having to catch that one cat in the estate simply cause the servant was tailing him like a hawk stalking prey. So he completely understood his frustration. Now that they've told each other what they've completed, Gray had suggested they take this demolish task as there next one as destruction is always fun in a way. Daiki had no objections so he figured he'd just tag along for the rid and he'd be lying if he said destroying something right this moment didn't seem fun with the previous boring tasks he was forced to do. Walking alongside Gray, the two of them had eventually came to the destination they had desired. An old abandoned building that looks like if blown upon with a light breeze, it'd topple over. Daiki had no idea why they would hire shinobi over some professionals, even amateurs at this stage of the building's lifespan. Well, they had a job to do so he would do it.  As much fun as it would be to simple just punch and kick to destroy the obstacles, it was best if they just do it the more effective way. Reaching into his weapon pouch he had brought recently, he pulled out a few explosive tags in order to light up and set on the support beams of the structure. He'd then set them in the corresponding places before safely exiting the area and detonating the explosive tags .
