[dangerouswind]

[At some point during the afternoon, as you walk across the town or through well-used paths in the fringes of the forest, you may feel as if you're being watched.

Yes. You.

A fleeting shadow, the feeling of eyes following your every move, the feeling that you can't shake a follower. You know the one. It makes the hair at the nape of your neck stand on end. Makes you paranoid and jumpy. Or maybe just amused. Annoyed. Whatever it does, it's there.

Temari's not trying too hard to stay unseen. It's less training and more something to do. You might turn around and see a ninja standing behind you. Maybe she's touching down next to you. Maybe you're attacking. (She won't like that much, to be honest, but maybe that's how you respond to being watched.)

There's a ninja stalking you. What do?]

Cayla makes a mental note to upgrade her medication dosage. She's in the forest, returning to CH6 after a trying dance session in the battledome, and she swears it's like she's being followed. Shadows seem to twist unnaturally in the corner of her eye, and the branches above her seem to arch and sway a little more than the wind could cause.

So she's going to turn around, just to make absolutely certain there is no one behind her. For good or for ill, there is.]

[Estelle isn't expecting it to look like rain again, so she grumbles to herself when it seems like there's going to be an unexpected shower. But being closer to the center the village, it's easier to take a shortcut. She ducks through a path in the trees instead of following the road like usual to her house.

But realizing there's someone on her tail is the sort of thing that Joshua is a whole lot better at. She almost dismisses it as something odd about the weather, though for a moment she glances over her shoulder just once. It's almost when she's back to the house that she jumps as someone lands nearly at her side.]

GYAAAH!

[fierybluebird]

[Marco is out returning books, getting groceries, occasionally whistling to birds. He plays this game for a bit, wherein he turns around only to turn back as if nothing was out of the ordinary. After about three times though he finally pipes up.] You know I'm a lot more interesting to talk to than watch. Believe it or not.

[deceases]

[ Natsuno's out on one of the paths in the forest - it's nice to just walk there and clear his head a little as he goes, really. Except then there's this feeling he knows very, very well, this feeling of being followed where he goes (not to mention his enhanced senses only make it worse and more obvious), and it eerily reminds him of Megumi. For a moment it's enough to make the hairs in his neck stand on edge from the familiarity of the feeling, but then he sharply turns around to find Temari standing there.

... Geez, what's up with girls and stalking? He frowns a little. ]

What do you want?

[toujoursfluer]

[Robin has a bit of a history in being followed, seen or unseen, and she doesn't particularly care for it. Even in Luceti. Especially in Luceti. She remains still at the fringes of the forest but you might see eyes blossoming in different trees. You might even see one looking straight at you.]

[screw_fate]

[Luceti is still new enough to Neji that he's twitchy about his surroundings; he's not going to put up with being followed, and at jounin, he's good at noticing when it's happening. So Temari won't get far with tracking him before he stops and turns toward her.]

Can I help you? [Spoken with heavy irony.]

[rutagraveolens]

[She may not be a ninja, but Rue is out climbing trees. She moves swiftly and silently, leaping from branch to branch, swinging herself up to higher ones. She's like a squirrel or a bird as she moves around, stopping to perch up on a branch to enjoy the view. There's no real purpose beyond a bit of fun and keeping her skills sharp. It's a nice village, but it's still a game, and if the Malnosso send their droids, she needs to be ready to run.

When she feels the feeling of being watched, she stiffens up slightly, carefully glancing around.]

[devourthemfirst]

[Czes does not like to be stalked.

Oh no. That is not something he likes at all. And he knows a pair of eyes are set on him and someone's been following him around. So he stops on his way back to his building and turns a little to look back at his shadow]

Staring isn't polite, you know.

[weaponry]

[ Not even looking behind her. After living close to her for awhile, and, after experiencing that humiliating defeat way back in the day, there's no way Tenten would ever forget her or her face. Her tone is dry, and, even bored, as she just calls Temari out. ]

Hello, Temari. Enjoying a nice stroll? [ Behind her 8|a ]

[deathsdoctor]

[... aha. Someone is tailing him. Law catches on near instantly as he goes about his business, casually sauntering around a corner...

And completely disappearing.

Except for a note for Temari to find pinned to a tree.]

Tag. You're it. :)

[lastsmoke]

[ For the most part, he lets her tail him. He's not all that concerned, and he figures if whoever was following him meant any harm, they would do a much better job hiding themselves.

It wasn't like he was doing anything interesting, anyway. So gathering intel on him would be pretty pointless...He casually glances behind him, curious, and manages to catch a glimpse of his pursuer. ]

You've gotten rusty. [ He stops, glancing back at her again. ] Assuming you're trying your best to stay hidden, of course.
