The air was warm, a breeze was blowing, and the glare of sunlight reflected off the desert sands made going outdoors a veritable hazard to one's health. It was a day like any other in the village of Hidden Sand, except for one very important detail. Today, Biidoro Sayuri would take on her very first Genin team. A Jounin since age 16, the 20-year-old had turned down offers of a team until now, when Kazekage-sama had asked her to mentor a particular group of girls. There had been something about them, just looking at the information in their files, that had made Sayuri want to take the job. The intuitive feeling had been enough to sway her decision, and she had accepted the job. And so there she was, standing by an open window in an empty classroom in the Hidden Sand's Academy building, her back to the room and her face to the breeze. She was clad in her usual attire of tailored khaki pants and a deep red tube top worn under a cropped khaki jacket with 3/4 sleeves. Some might consider her clothing to be too much for the Sand's heat, but her unusually fair skin burned incredibly easily, so wearing anything less was simply not an option. The metal of her forehead protector gleamed from its spot on her left thigh, tied there by its black band. Silky, cream-colored hair fell loose past her waist, swaying gently in the soft breeze. Yes, she decided as she gazed out across Suna's desert landscape, today was going to be a wonderful day. ((OoC: Okay, guys, you take it from here! Whether you want to play listening for your names and Sensei or just pick up once you're dismissed is up to you. Meet up and introduce yourselves before coming into the room, or come in separately - whatever you decide!))

((OoC: Taking the solo route myself, no offense to anyone else.)) The day could not have been more average for Suna, its commonplace warmth and sunshine radiant. However, the day would be far from average for a small handfull of its inhabitants. Yasu was one of them. Today marked the first time she would leave her Clan's grounds in over a year. Today she was being assigned to a new team. Rising from her spot in front of her brother's shrine, Yasu removed his forehead protector from its box, afixing it across her chest in such a fashion so that the metal plate rested over her heart. Settling her own protector upon her brow, she crossed the room to a sealed case and performed the neccessary motions to unseal it, removing two near-identical scroll cases as well as a third, heavily-protected case. Settling the cases into a holster belt around her waist, Yasu nervously made her way outside, leaving her home and heading into the village. Her goal? The academy, where she would meet her new sensei, and teammates. "Well...here we go..." An anticipating smile crossed her lips. "It's showtime.." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Arriving at the Academy, it was nice to see that not much had changed since the last time she had been there. Drawing a deep breath, Yasu pushed open the door and made her way inside, pulling a message from her pocket to check the room number she had been instructed to go to, and proceeded to make her way there. Pausing before the numbered door, she gave a few moments to ensuring she looked presentable. Her shoulder length emerald hair had been pulled back out of the way into a neat bun held by hairsticks, bangs falling just above her amber eyes. A pocket-laden navy vest was the perfect top, as it left her arms unrestricted. Her forearms and hands were covered with long, fingerless gloves, the backs of the hands lightly plated to give her precious tendons some protection. Simple black shorts and sandals completed her attire. But was she to enter, or knock first? Or did she need to wait to be called?

Itome couldn't really get any happier. She had sewn the plate from her forehead protector onto her skirt last night. She was wanted to wear it in the traditional fashion but with her condition that meant that is she fell and it knocked against her forehead, 'protect' would be the last thing it would do. She had sewn it in such a way that she could tuck a peice of cloth around it on a situation where light reflecting off the metal could sabotage the mission. She hoped her sensei wouldn't mind too much.
If nothing else she was prepared - a full first aid kit hanging from one side of her belt, a pouch full of kunai, shuriken, makibishi and bakuaribishi on the other. The pocket on the front of her tunic contained exploding notes. Four needles were strapped to her right leg for easy access but she had a small pouch full of the things strapped to her left wrist. There was a ring of textured paper around the tip of each one so that she could tell what poison they contained in the thin glass vials that would break when they hit a target and infect and wound they caused. And of course, her family's signiature, the large reel of wire on her back. She was ready for any test the new sensei would give her and at least several that she probably wouldn't.
Her clothes were entirely yellow and white. With her blonde hair and tan skin she could blend easily into the sand. It was probably why the Tous made all their clothes yellow and white.
The sand sank a little beneath her feet as she ran, despite being relatively on time, toward the academy.
There was sand in the academy halls. There was sand everywhere in Suna. It had likely travelled in on student's shoes or if the door was left open on windy days. They swept it every now and then, but the sand just came back.
Finding the right door, she noticed someone already there, waiting. Despite this her enthusiasm would not be lost and, with an uncharacteristic amount of courage, she knocked on the door with the back of her hand.

Yasu's quiet contemplation was abruptly interrupted when someone else all but ran down the hallway and knocked on the door rapidly. It was quite a shock, actually. For the first time in her life, she was seeing someone smaller and more frail-looking than herself. She couldn't help but wonder if this was one of her new teammates.
"Umm...hello?"

"Oh!" Itome said, realizing how rude it had probably been to ignore the person by the door. Hoping to recify this she bowed a little and extended a hand to shake.
"My name is Itome, are you here for the team meeting?" She said, managing a full sentence if a little quietly. Her stammer would probably return when the excitement wore off. "Does that mean that you're on the same team as me?"

Smiling, she accepted the hand and shook it gently, bowing as well. "It's nice to meet you, Itome-chan. I'm Yasu. To answer your questions, yes I am, and I believe so." Grinning a little, she added "As you hardly look like a Jounin sensei, and I know I'm not."

Sayuri smiled. It's time."Come in," she called without turning from the window.

"Come in," A voice called from beyond the door. A distinctly female voice. Turning to smile at her companion/future teammate, Yasu opened the door for them and headed inside, holding it open long enough for Itome to enter without fear of it swinging shut on her.
Turning from the door, it only took a moment to spot the woman who Yasu could only assume would be their sensei. She would wait respectfully to find out, however.

Itome walked through the open door quickly as she could without actually breaking into a run, moving clear of it quickly so that Yasu didn't have to wait too long to close it.
"Thank you." She murmered once inside, bowing her head respectfully.

It was only after the girls entered that Sayuri turned around, surveying them with her pale blue eyes as she leaned casually against the wall next to the window. "Good morning, ladies," she told them with a warm smile. "There are only two of you?" she remarked in surprise. "Well, the third can't be far behind, I suppose. How are you feeling today?"

Marveling for a moment, Yasu couldn't help but admire this woman. ..she looks like one of 'tousan's porcelain dolls...Smiling, she nodded in reply. "Y-yes ma'am. At least, it was just us out there...and I'm fine, thank you!"

Sayuri nodded. "Good, good," she said with a smile. "And you?" she asked, turning to the other young lady.

The distinct thud of Tsubaki Yuka's pink and tan sling-back sandals echoed as she ran down the empty hallways of the Sand Academy. She had just dropped her little brother, Satoru, off at his classroom, and was now on her way to meet her team for the very first time. She hoped she wasn't too late.
Finally arriving at the classroom she had been told to go to, she took in a deep breath to calm herself before knocking.

Before the young woman could speak, a knock sounded at the door. "And then there were three," Sayuri remarked with a smile. "Come in!"

Hearing the invitation to come inside, Yuka smiled and opened the door. "Hello!" she said, "I'm Tsubaki Yuka. I hope you all haven't been waiting on me very long."
