The first room is set out as a proper banquet. Long tables festooned with delicious food, soft music playing in the background, and other assorted details that would belong in any mansion's furnishings. Upon closer examination, however, the food and drink selection is somewhat... unusual. A young man wearing a dirty jacket and baggy jeans wanders around, looking slightly out of touch with reality. He looks at the food and mutters sadly. 'Butter toast?'
There is: Garlic Bread, Ketchup, French Toast, Cantaloupe, Frankfurters, Celery, Rutabaga, Haddock and Sandwiches
[Your first challenge is to choose what, if any, food or drink to consume. You can have more than one if you want, but list them. Only after your choice will you be allowed to pass through the ballroom doors on the opposite side of the banquet room.]

Logan Hyuuga, the Blue Byakugan
((Appearance: He has very large blue Byakugan eyes which appear to lack pupils. He wears a cloak, pants, gloves, a shirt, four scarfs, and a mask. they are all black and made of special materials. These clothes make it so only his eyes can be seen.))
Hedoro Koutai
Logan stepped forward, into the banquet hall, alongside the others. He glnaced over the table, noticing the odd assortment of many foods upon the table. He concentrated for a moment. Perfected Byakugan. his kekkei genkai activated, as he examined the room, the food, and the odd-looking teenager already there. He would examine the food for traces of chakra or other effects, as well as for impurities, such as poisons or drugs. ((Given that neji used his normal byakugan to see poison in a buried corpse....I feel this is a valid use.)) 60918 SP/chakra Demon Chakra: Closed Eyes- 100,000. 60018/60918

Kazama would have entered shortly after Logan; skeptical about his surroundings already. With Noura strapped to his back his fingers eagerly wanted to caress the hilt just in case of a suprise. But the element of surprise was what the exams always had. It could go from finding random items in an enormous forest with beasts twice the size of the average human, or freefalling while trying to answer a riddle at the same time! But when he saw that the destination lead him to a room that could pass off for a section of a billionaire playboy's mansion, he wondered if he came to the right place. There were no instructors, only a boy who looked like he did not belong in this universe, muttering something about buttered toast. Jet did not miss the food that was given to them, nor the instructions before they had to move on. "Hm..." He looked over to Logan, who was still investigating the pieces of food given to them. It was good to see that Kazama wasn't the only one on his guard.
"Nine pieces of food... nine people?" There was a lot in quantity. Enough for multiple pieces of food to be given to one person.
It was also good to see that Kazama was at the top this time chakra point wise. In the chuunin exams he was mid-low tier; now after all of this training for the last 5 years he made it to the top. And with more tricks in his bag than the ones given to him in Hidden Volcano he wasn't a one tricky pony anymore. "With Adell in the exams most likely I'll get my rematch with him. it'll be nice to see what tricks he's developed." To be on the safe side, Kazama used his Asura sense to check the food and the weird kid. "Nothing out of the ordinary... normal internal temperature..."he thought before slowly moving around. He could spend all day trying to guess what was going to come up that required a certain dish, what dish could help him out the most, etc. But that would waste time, that may play a factor in these exams.
After examining the food he concluded that the celery would be his choice. It could be used as a weapon towards the eyes, it was thick, and was the healthiest out of the choices. Plus it would keep the Asura full with enough pieces and fiber content. Just in case this turned into a hunger contest. Those three variables outweighed the fact that alone it wasn't a tasty treat unless one had ranch or peanut butter. He gave a toast towards Logan. "To winging everything right now!" He took a few pieces of celery and slowly began to nibble on them one at a time, walking towards the Ballroom doors with his guard up.
food=celery chakra=80,500

Elizabeth Wright
Don't tell me the sky's the limit...
Elizabeth walked into the large banquet room, immediately noticing the large amount of food. Inching towards the cantaloupe slowly. She noticed the other ninja before moving a few foot, realizing they were from different villages. She noticed one ninja was a Hyuuga. The other.... she couldn't tell. He seemed to know Taijutsu, since there seemed to be muscle to spare on him. Trying not to look timid, she bravely started walking towards the fruit.
Eyeing each piece, Elizabeth thought about taking a larger piece, but she was in the exam. It would be better to just take a small piece for a snack. Sighing, she selected a small piece and shot it into her mouth, chewing slowly as she made her way to the other side of the room, following the other ninja. She noticed he was nibbling a few pieces of celery. Was she allowed to have more then one? She tried to hide her confusion as she swallowed, hoping that something awful was not hiding in the exams.
...When there are footprints on the moon.
{ OutOfColors :: }
Rank: Genin Location: Mansion With: Different Ninja Thinking: What the hell? Feeling: Unsure Health-ness: Fine
The slightly dim-witted youth watches some of the guests pass through the ballroom door, before returning to his search for buttered toast. He seems eminently harmless, and makes no contact with the strangers. After all, he did watch the Monster Movie Marathon of They Came From Beneath The Sink, a Zombie Vampire Cyclops Love Story from Beyond, the Sequel; he knew what would happen if he talked to strangers!
Meanwhile, any further examination of the food and drink, enhanced or otherwise, would reveal that it is all perfectly normal, healthy were applicable, and prepared with a reasonable amount of care. No poisons or toxins can be found, save a few faint spots of oxidation from foods not particularly well-suited to being set out for long periods of time.
(The next chamber's contents will be posted in the morning.)

Rei entered the room, if one so much as sneaked a peek at her they would be instantly struck by how beautiful she was, even the Hyuuga with his eyes would be able to see there were a few minor genjutsu but... they were there to dull her beauty she had an extremely strong charm Rei didn't want anyone to simply fall head over heels for her... yet at least. Looking at the food she would poke about it for a second and decide she wasn't all that hungry wasn't even pizza... crap. Walking past the table she would enter through the Ballroom doors and look about, this was more her style than most things... Though she was dressed in her combat armor, Rei was more than able to toss them off and get a good dress if need be... or just throw it off altogether. The other ninjas were here but she simply ignored them, they wouldn't ignore her though... all five senses... even if one could sense her chakra... all of it had been carefully tailored to be... pleasing, entrancing. She was obviously easy on the eyes, her scent was similarly pleasing, her voice, touch, and even her taste was immaculate, and her charms weren't limited to just men even woman would be victim to her sultry temptations.
Sano poked his head in such an... interesting thing... he saw the television and grinned to himself he attached himself to the ceiling and watched it hanging upside down though he would remain stationary too long every time something interesting popped up he would divert He ate something over everything on the table and even started to crew on the table. Eventually he would find himself in the Ballroom... eventually.
Choice: Everything.

Shikarama Nara, The Dedicated Genius
Shikarama entered the well-made looking room. He took notice not only of the variety of food on the table, but the variety of ninja here, all from their different villages. Whether it was Logan and himself from the Leaf, a blue-haired kid from the mist, a young girl from the Wind village, or a undeniably attractive...if disturbingly so, woman, whom he was not certain where she was from. Despite the pleasentries, he brought himself to the task at hand. Shikarama noticed Logan use his eyes, but he seemed relatively cautious. Despite this, Logan had simply walked past the table towards the ballroom, choosing to eat nothing. Shikarama, thinking he may as well make sure he was well fed, grabbed a Rutabaga and some garlic bread. He calmly moved to enter the ballroom. 60143 SP/chakra
Quote:
Choice: rutabaga, garlic bread.
Hariko Mizu, The Cold Demon
Hariko entered, his footsteps following the others, for now he kept his eyes from them and stepped towards the table. he could tell enough with his ears for now. He examined the foods available, before taking some of the Haddock and munched on the fish slowly. He headed towards the ballroom doors. Chakra total: 29822
Quote:
Automatic: Assassin's Talent-0 His senses of sight, sound, and chakra, are much stronger, allowing him to fight with ease in partially or even completely obscured vision. He can move silently, making his movements undetectable by normal human ears. Chosen: Haddock
Logan Hyuuga, the Blue Byakugan
((Appearance: He has very large blue Byakugan eyes which appear to lack pupils. He wears a cloak, pants, gloves, a shirt, four scarfs, and a mask. they are all black and made of special materials. These clothes make it so only his eyes can be seen.)) Logan saw nothing wrong with food. Despite this, he chose to abstain from it. He took notice of several people joining him there, including Shikarama, as well as a woman who had been in the leaf during the attack by the akatsuki member on the Mizukage, there. he deactivated his Bykaugan and stepped passed the table, and approached the ballroom doors, moving to enter. 60918 SP/chakra Demon Chakra: Closed Eyes- 100,000. 60018/60918
Hareo stepped into the room... the rather slow looking individual watching the movie nor any of the children running around here, There was one odd thing about Hareo, his eyes were closed but he moved perfectly. One might think he was blind but in all honesty he was sensing everything by heat. He was one of the rare beings on this ninja world who bore the blood of two clans. Grabbing a sandwich he kept moving forward into the next room. Looking about he was off put by the raw sexuality coming off of Rei his eyes opened and he looked at her Crimson red eyes full of fire betraying is older age. He was easily the oldest one here but he was immensely fit. "Gyahahahaha..." He laughed for some unknown reason lifting a bottle of what is obviously alcohol.

Saden Zoto ________________________________ Hidden Void-Chunin-Scythe ________________________________ Saden glanced about the room, taking in the various sights. There was a delicious-looking assortment of foods on the tables, and speaking of delicious, a woman in the room happened to be a feast for the eyes. Excluding the latter thought, Saden didn't desire anything he saw. Not only was he not hungry, but he also didn't trust the food at all. When supplied with temptations during an exam, chances are they are traps. He walked out of the room without eating anything.

________________________________ {31300/31300} Chakra-1417 Words
Upon passing through the doors, you descend a curving stairway, before arriving in a round room. There are eleven doors spaced evenly around it's perimeter, each one marked in a unique manner. The doors are not locked or sealed in any way, all you have to do is choose which one to take.
A. A picture of the hounds of hell B. A picture of a race, with one participant straggling far behind the rest C. The words 'pike', 'lap' and 'loaf' D. A picture of an old crone with a pointed hat relaxing on the beach E. A picture of a ripped up deed of ownership of a pier F. A picture of an arrogant man with a goatee and a beret, raising a glass of wine G. A picture of a panhandler standing at the base of an enormous elm tree H. The words 'taboo' and 'union' I. A picture of a cordless phone tucked into an eagle's nest J. A picture of a massed throng standing and applauding while gathered on ascending platforms
[The second challenge is to choose which door you pass through. You may only choose one at a time. If you choose wrong, you can try again. If you choose wrong, you simply come out through the same door you entered, in a loop.]
Rei observed the doors and there was one that stuck out to her... perhaps by design the one that spoke of Taboo and Union... it wasn't like Rei to go against her nature opening the door she would enter it.
Hareo's eyes averted from the girl and he simply entered the door closest to him, it happened to be the first with the picture of Hell Hounds on it
Sano however wandered around a bit and arrived at the Door that depicted a crowd applauding and went through it he was something to be curious about.
Shikarama made his way down the stairs, finishing his food, and following after Logan. He, alongside the others, would find themselves in a room surrounded with doors. Some of them with words on them, others displaying a variety of images. the goal seemed obvious. They had to pick doors, and there were ten of them. No real instructions had been given, so they could really only guess for the moment. Shikarama turned and stepped towards the door set with a "panhandler" standing before the base of a tree. He placed his hand on the door knob, and moved to open it and enter. 60143 SP/chakra

Choice: G
Hariko Mizu, The Cold Demon
Hariko finished his fish and followed the others. Taking a moment to look around, he moved down the stairs and entered the doored room. Given the choice available, he simply stepped towards the picture of the beach. He moved to open the door and enter. Chakra total: 29822

Shikarama moved ahead of him and just chose a door. Seeing this, Logan decided to follow that example.

Saden Zoto ________________________________ Hidden Void-Chunin-Scythe ________________________________ As Saden stepped into the next room, he waited along the entrance for a bit, observing everyone else's choices. The doors, much like the food, seemed completely random and unorthodox for an exam. Regardless, he decided to take the road less travelled and walked to the ripped up deed. He opened the door and stepped inside, hoping for a lucky guess.

Doran burst into the banquet hall at a near sprint. He had slept in through his alarm after having trouble falling asleep last night. His nerves were tense as he ran into the now empty room full of food. The Armorer looked around to see what he needed to do. There was no other shinobi in the room, but it was clear that food had been taken. Doran figured there was no harm in grabbing some breakfast before continuing on.
Doran grabbed a couple slices of french toast and shoved them under his helmet and into his mouth as he continued to run to the doors on the other side of the banquet hall. The Armorer was sure there was something he was missing because he had no idea which door was the right one, or if there even was a right one. After a quick glance across, the picture of a panhandler at the base of a tree caught his eye. Without a second thought Doran made his choice and ran through.
Quote:
Chakra: 7300/7300
Stormsteel Armor (passive): Doran’s armor is created from the family’s secret metal called Stormsteel. This armor is infused with lightning chakra as it is forged and is incredibly strong. While being twice as strong as normal steel, it also weighs half as much. It provides Doran with basic protection against weapons and will protect him from glancing blows, but does very little against jutsus. As he gets more powerful, he will be able to unlock the true power of his armor and gain special techniques from it.
