welcome to wonderland

"I tested your heart..." The voice echoes around you, with no origin to speak of, yet seems to speak within your very mind. As you move forwards, taking the path towards the Queen's Court, you find the way well tended, flowers in orderly lines alongside the path. Soon enough, the path turns into a small brick road, and through an archway lays a beautiful garden, the road winding through it towards a courtyard, where you can hear shouting and commands.

"Now i must test your mind..." That same voice from before. If you've continued on the road, through another archway, you'll enter the very court itself, an open air area with seating and benches scattered around the brick courtyard. A tall, rather fat woman presides over those assembled, sitting in a throne at the far end.

"The sword is that of brute strength..." The voice seems quieter now, as if giving way to the people you're approaching.
"Yet its wielder must be so much more..." All but a whisper. The Queen, for that must be who sits in such a throne, shouting, cuts through the strange voice.

"Late! LATE! Who DARES be late to their own hearing!" She screeches, as guards take your arms and lead you towards a small podium, in the very middle of the court.
"You are sentenced with THEFT and MURDER and ROBBERY and ARSON and INDECENCY!" She cries, going quite red in the face as she lists your supposed crimes.

"HOW DO YOU PLEAD?"

♥

+ Although all an illusion, this place seems so vivid and real. It's entirely possible real repercussions could befall you here.

+ The Queen seems to think you a criminal, arriving to her judgement. You could always explain otherwise, it's a mistake afterall, right?

+ The court is large and spacious, with the Queen's throne at one end, and the archway you passed through at the other. A multitude of bizarre looking individuals line the benches at both of your sides, and guards stand behind you.

Doggy snarls as you leap away from him. Having no qualms with taking a kunai in the head, the zombie lands from his failed attack and immediately rushes you, arms wide, aiming to restrain you. He attempts to grab you around the chest, even while he rushes into your electrical attack, his torso and arms exposed to the numbing jutsu, but protecting Miki from harm.

"My turn!" The girl giggles, and swings her arm at you. An intense wind erupts from where she stands, tearing up the small distance between you. Doggy is inevitable severed by the winds, and so, ideally, will you be. It had seemed she cared for the grotesque zombie, but it's obvious she only looks out for herself. The prospect of a shinobi to feed upon was more than enough for her to sacrifice the creature.

Tier 2 - Winds of the East & West: Beyond the opposition that winds might pose, their abrupt speed is yet another factor giving this element its strength. Going a step further the the turbulent winds of the Northern and Southern regions, there are those who have learned to harness the swiftness of the Eastern and Western winds. Easily capable of stirring a hurricane, and rather abruptly, this level of Fuuton master allows the user to reduce the handseal count of all Fuuton based ninjutsu by two.

Dai Kamaitachi (Great Cutting Whirlwind)
Rank: B
Type: Offensive.
Range: See special!
Handseals: 12 [ None with fan ].
Chakra: High.
Special: Blast measures between 10 meters, pierces barriers 'B' ranked and below, and can stack 'B' ranked bonus damage each time retrained. However, after every third retraining, the consumption will go up by one. Can be trained a maximum of 4 times. This technique requires no hand seals when used with a fan type weapon; however, takes half a post to charge if used with said weapon. Distance at which it can travel depends on the user's Kiroku Gaijuu range.
Description: This jutsu was brought to fame by a legendary Suna shinobi from long ago, and was named after a mythical creature able to command the winds on a whim. After channeling chakra to a limb or weapon, the user executes a large swipe, letting loose an intense wind in a sixty degree cone. The winds are razor sharp, cover a wide area, and can cut through trees like butter.
Domain: Fuuton. Kamaitachi. Kiroku Gaijuu 'B'.

"Don't be so rude about Doggy!" A high, clear voice calls out, running up behind the shape you observed. In the moonlight that flooded the small clearing, you can make her out easily. Small, dainty, nothing more than a sweet child. She pats the creature on the head as it rises and turns to face you. A face of nightmares. Flesh falls freely from the cheeks, and there are great holes where the bone is visible.

"Doggy says hiya!" The girl calls, glee apparent in her deep red eyes. The shambling mess of bones and flesh stares at you, even though it misses an eye. And then it throws itself across the 6 meter distance towards you.
"Oooh, Doggy wants to EAT you!" She screeched in laughter, skipping after the zombie in delight. The zombie leaps into the air, with surprising speed given its deteriorating form. It spins in the air before you, and attempts to connect a punch, with a fist mostly just bone.

"It's time to play a game!" And the girl, about 4 meters from you, begins handseals, her elongated nails glinting in the moonlight.

Doggy

Raiken (Thunder Fist)
Rank: C
Type: Offensive / Taijutsu
Range: 0 - 5 meters
Chakra: Mid
Special: Each time retrained, the user spins once more. Every spin increases Raiken's attack grade and stack one Mid chakra consumption. May be learned 8 times (5 retrains).
Description: Yet another wild and unpredictable Goken technique, the user proceeds to rush at their opponent with all their might, jump and then spin to gain momentum, so that they may lay a powerful strike onto their target.
Domain: Goken.

handseal preparation!

The relief at you following her is easily apparent as she leads you onwards, through the trees, keeping a quick, yet slightly clumsy pace that proves easy to follow.
"My dad, they came for him, for the sword.. They've come before but, these guys were way stronger! But he's okay, he's okay... he's got to be okay..." She babbles, throwing herself through shrubbery in her haste to return to her father.

"Dad, DAD!" She cries, bursting through some trees into a small clearing. There's a small, old fashioned house, opening onto a blacksmith's yard. A beaten dirt road leads away from the area. Leaning against an anvil, is a man, bleeding heavily from a multitude of wounds. The girl runs to him.
"NO! No, no, no, Dad, listen! I brought help! We can get your sword back, we can... Please be okay!" She's obviously in intense distress at seeing her father like this. But he does seem to still be alive. For now.

"HELP HIM!" She shrieks, oblivious to the difference between medics and regular shinobi.

♥

+ What happened here is still unclear. There may be clues around the area.

+ The man doesn't have much time left. Maybe there's something you can do to help him?

+ The girl hasn't explained enough. She definitely knows more. But is now really the time?

Xu giggled. Kade could be funny sometimes, especially when he was being serious. His repetition of the relayed information struck her as very amusing, but she did her best to keep her laugh stifled, due to the professional situation. Akuseru decided upon following them, as she'd suggested, and she skipped lightly ahead as he began to walk. She kept her handseal, her eyes closed as she moved, letting the world of chakra be her reality.

It was always so pretty. The incredibly bright Akuseru, and Kade scarcely dimmer. The small sparkles of civilians and merchants, and the occasional flare of an advanced shinobi. Mr Mew had no chakra signature, but he glimmered in her eyes all the same.
"I think they are in a hurry. Perhaps they are aware their home is in jeopardy?" She said quietly, keeping a few light steps ahead of the two boys. Her sensory abilities couldn't see anywhere near as far as Akuseru's eyes, not at her level of training. Yet they were near enough for her to follow them in her mind.

"I believe they are leading us to the 'paradise area'." She whispered.

Mimi frowns.
"Well, yes, i suppose. But an increase in body temperature can be a result of many things, some of which require maintaining the heat so as to avoid damage." She explains, her manner relaxed and mild as the woman moans beneath her. The girl taking the test alongside you steps forwards, looking serious as she places a hand against the woman's forehead, as Mimi did before.

"A failure in her thermoregulation. Has this woman been exposed to the sun for a long time?" She asks, looking up at the surgeon. Mimi claps her hands.
"Bingo! What we have here is simply heat stroke, which has led to hyperthermia. Her case is quite extreme, however." She explains, before turning to you.

"Cooling her down is on the right path. What would be the best method right now? You have to be careful not to lower her temperature too fast, or it could be dangerous."

You stated the obvious, but luckily the diagnosis itself was quite apparent. The treatment may not be as obvious as it seems, however.

♥

+ With her condition explained, you need to decide the best method of helping the patient.

"Fucking hell!" You don't need your pseudo mirror to hear the shouting from within the room. The reflection shows a young woman, kneeling on the floor, and another body laying at her knees, but nothing much else can be gained from the blurry metal.
"I can't do this on my own!" She cries, and a piece of what may have been medical equipment flies out the window past you, perhaps a clue as to what initially broke the glass.
You can hear her heavy breathing, an attempt to calm herself, perhaps. Then, in your headband, the unmistakable glimmer of chakra surrounds the woman's hands.

She's pressing her hands to the body beside her, performing a healing, maybe? Something isn't right here, that much is obvious. The locked door, the lack of people, the distress in this woman's voice and face. Not your standard medical examination.

♥

+ There's nobody else to be seen. Whether this woman is dangerous or not, she appears to be a medic.

+ Attempt to gather more information, inform her of your presence, perhaps find another way inside the building. The choice is yours!
