At long last...
I'm sure someone knows their names...
Welcome to the NPC meme! This meme has certain special rules and functions unlike many other memes! In this meme, the NPC journal isn't just encouraged, it's how you play. Or, at least...how someone involved in the thread does.
The premise is simple: You post your character to lure in some characters who aren't currently being played, and someone else brings in the NPC journal with their interpretation of that character. You play a thread! CR gaps filled!
Alternatively, if you have a character you might be interested in playing in the capacity of an NPC (such as a character you don't want to app, and thus put in a test drive, for one reason or another) then post a top level for that NPC.
Currently played characters may tag out only to NPC top level comments, not to each other. NPC characters could tag to anyone. However, since threads in this meme are eligible for AC (and therefore game canon), it's best for NPCs to tag current characters, rather than other NPCs.
Steps/Rules
1: Post a top level with either your character or an NPC you'd like to play for the meme (Using the NPC account!) - If you're looking for someone specific to tag you, be sure to include it in the top level somewhere so people know to bring them.
2: With your characters, tag out to NPC top-levels or wait for an NPC to tag you. With NPCs, tag out to top level 'current' character threads, or respond to characters that tag your NPC of choice.
3: Thread things that can't yet be played out, or might never be able to be played out!
4: When playing an NPC, since you'll be using the NPC account to do it, don't forget to track the thread with one of your own accounts! (If you have a paid, at least. For free accounts, it's still recommended that you track at least the entire post so you don't miss anything!)

Well, perhaps she was a little responsible for the tiny change in Kisame, though his adaptive nature was an explanation in and of itself. It was just a side-effect of their careers, now.

"Most of the time, anyway." She amended, and hummed to herself for a moment. "But it is a useful skill for a Hoshigaki!"
She tapped her cane twice on the ground in between a step, thinking on the ways it could be of use. A Hoshigaki who had learned to be subtle would be useful. Now she only had to guide Kisame in the right paths. He was still too young to see everything with perfect clarity after all and needed guidance sometimes.

She picked up on the old woman's train of thought not because of any loss of skill on her part, but because Kisame had grumbled enough about those sorts of ambitions being winked and nudged and poked and prodded at in front of him—along with a few pointed hints for good measure—and... well. She couldn't help herself; she so rarely had the chance to tease him.
"Kisame-kun is a very useful man to have around." She cupped her cheek with her free hand, shaking her head slightly. "Our current system is, of course, classified, but it's highly tailored; for example, it couldn't successfully be implemented for the entire village infrastructure. That would take a certain degree of blending tradition and innovation."

She firmly believed that. Limits, pah! Only an excuse for the weak not to try. But what Nanako had said was interesting. Maybe she could be an ally. Of course, she'd need a thorough vetting before she'd be allowed near the real secrets. Sometimes, keeping secrets was tiring, especially when they were secrets designed only to mask the real ones.
