(Your POV)
I was currently sharpening my [Spear of Leonidas] in front of the SPOON building, waiting for everyone to get here for the mission. Since today was a mission against someone who could prove a viable threat, I got John and Seraphina a couple gifts, I would have gotten Joe something but something tells me his shapeshifting would have made it hard to keep. So I did some grinding when I got home yesterday to get some items from a game that I liked, carefully selecting the items based on John and Sera's talents in combat.

"Yo (Y/N)!" Greeted a familiar pleasantly plump individual I call Choji, with his best friend Shikamaru following closely behind.

"Hey Choji, Shikamaru

"Hey Choji, Shikamaru." I waved in response to seeing the two shinobi, with Choji eating bacon-flavored chips and Shikamaru looking a bit tired. "Wonderful morning we're having aren't we?"

"A bit too sunny for my taste, but I can agree." Shikamaru and Choji then took a seat next to me on the bench I was sitting on. "If we have to engage them, there probably won't be that many shadows I can use, what a drag..."

"You know I can just summon clouds, right?" I asked as Choji offered me a chip, which I graciously accepted

"You know I can just summon clouds, right?" I asked as Choji offered me a chip, which I graciously accepted. "You know, being a descendant of the dragon god of oceans, storms, and OCD."

"God of OCD? Didn't know that one was a thing." Choji admits as he continued to keep munching on his chips, making me think that's his defining character trait. "Why is that?"

"Well back in ye olden times, people thought that dumping stuff into rivers and oceans would prompt dragons to return the favor by making it rain." I explained while remembering how pissed my family gets when they do that. "However, summoning rain is just our way of deep cleaning."

"Given how much stuff is in the oceans, that would explain the constant hurricanes." Shikamaru commented, must be referring to the different variety of storms that occur over the oceans at any given time. "On a scale from one to ten, how pissed are you about the current pollution issue anyways?"

"Gordon Ramsey level of pissed." I answered as another individual started making their way over to us. "Hey Ino, how nice of you to join us this fine morning."
