Time Ninjas

The Time Ninjas are officially called 'The Temporal Ninjas of the order of Joe'.

Living in a hidden valley of the Club Penguin Mountains, near the Dojo, the Time Ninjas (No Such Dojo, the Men In Grey ...) are the keepers of History. Their role is to ensure that history follows its correct course, and even to make sure that it exists at all. Times are always getting worse, the ninjas feel. Again and again some creature or artifact or mad scientist tinkers with the machinery and shatters the fabric of time and space. The Time Ninjas consider it their duty to put the pieces back together, and to ensure that there are more pieces to follow the present moment.

The Dojo was founded by Joe, a Ninja who understood the true nature of time, and married the anthropomorphic personification of Time. The Time Ninjas follow the directions in the History Books, huge books in which the entire course of history, including what ought to happen in the future, is written. The Time Ninjas also pull time from places where it's not needed (ex. a classroom of bored pupils) and put it into places where it's needed (ex. a busy factory). The instrument for storing time and paying it out is called a procrastinator. The History Monks also use a mandala (a spread of colored sand) to monitor anomalies in the fabric of time.

The Dojo compley is called Oi Dong. The grounds include classrooms for lectures, dojos for physical training, Qu's area for technological experiments, Joes's Garden of Five Surprises, Inga's quarters, the Mandala hall, and the hall for the procrastinators. Since Joe has set time to stay at the same day in Oi Dong, it is always a fine spring day, with ice floating in the stream, and cherry trees with flowers blossoming but never growing into cherries.

In the Dojos, the monks learn and practice slicing time, partly to use it as a martial art. It is basically about slicing time faster than your opponent, and so getting in hits faster than he can. There are rumours about an advanced form of this called Déjà Fu. So far, only sweeper Lu-Tze seems to have mastered it.
