Ain't no party like a ninja party

[usedswift]

Who: open to literally anyone in Blackthorn City who wanders into the ninja party + friends
Where: Blackthorn City (mainly hotsprings but also anywhere)
When: July 23rd
Summary: Sasuke gets a birthday party whether he wants one or not. Lucky for him, he has friends (in spite of his best efforts) who'll plan one.
Rating: G? PG for violence

[ooc; general mingle log for Blackthorn City/Sasuke's birthday. Most of it will probably take place at the hotsprings itself, though like the 'who' says, it's completely open to anyone just walking by and wondering what the big deal is, or someone who's already there and then has their pleasant soak interrupted by a bunch of dumb ninjas.]

Good. A little positive reinforcement goes a long way, but you never want to give out too much because they become attached to it.

[usedswift]

Huh...

[Taking a mental note on that.]

I'll make sure to remember that for my own team, too. I don't think that's going to be much of a problem, though.

[She's a tad strict.]

[godaime]

Why not? You sure have a lot of them, right?

[usedswift]

I do! But I don't really praise them unless they do well. They know I expect the best they've got, and that it's different for each of them. Most of them work to make me proud.

[godaime]

That's the way to do it. Let them know they're the boss but you're the president. [ Tsunade could be a rapper lbr. ]

[usedswift]

I don't suppose you have any advice for me?

[She tilts her head and gestures with one hand.]

My Milotic, Baoyu. He's more concerned with sunning himself or swimming and, well, not battling. Do you have any advice for motivating him?

[godaime]

Not really. Just make sure you evaluate all likely possibilities and some unlikely ones. Also make sure your synergy between teammates is how you envisioned. Sometimes, some teams just don't work out.

Hmmm.. if that's the case, I'd use sunning or swimming as a reward, or, better yet, make his swimming attempts interrupted with training and battles.

[usedswift]

Mm...

[She might not be literally taking notes, but there's no way she's going to forget any of Tsunade-sama!!1!'s advice.]

You mean set one of my other Pokémon on him when he's not expecting it? [That sounds so fun.]
