Welcome to Gaia! ::

Just as Katagi held out his hand for Shadow to shake, the Genjutsu user Genin himself fell into a Genjutsu out of no where. "What the hell?" Suddenly a pink mist would envelop around Katagi. Looking around he wondered if the group was getting attacked or something...but now, this was different. "That voice..." He knew what was going on but why now? Why in front of a princess and a guy who was going to use this as material to insult him back with? "W-What do you want?" He would say as she called out his name..."W-what!?" He would attempt to back away slowly, his face would show an expression on disbelief and his eyes would twitch and once again he would get a nose bleed. "N-no way...T-this is just like one of Onii-sans novels." As she went over him, Katagi would begin to stutter and jumble up his words even more. "But...w-well we're...er..hmprh" Soon enough The genjutsu Harumi would begin kissing Katagi, he couldn't deny it, he did like it...but until the mist vanished.

He would notice that he would be standing there, with his hands out for Shadow to shake, he would have a nose bleed that came from the Genjutsu Harumi put him under. Katagi would then sulk in embarrassment and mumble to himself. "This is the worst day of my life..."

Marcus came off the ride, Katagi on his shoulder. “WOOOW! That was fun!” Marcus sounded like a kid in a candy store. He was hopping around, nevermind the unconscious boy on his back. He glanced back to several of the other people who were beign pulled off the ride by helpers and such as they had been knocked out cold. Marcus just grinned a bit and looked to Yokou, “Wanna ride again?”

Marcus, as usual, was completely oblivious to her glare and just smiled to her brightly.

Glancing over, he would see Shadow standing there… huffing and puffing but still. Marcus walked over to the boy and looked him over. He would wave his hand in front of him and begin to put up some fingers. “Heeey dude, how many fingers am I holding up?” without allowing the boy to answer, he would begin to poke at the bloody spots on his body.

Yokou soon came over… when was she freed? Oh well, no big deal until she began to heal the boy. Marcus would look to her, “Heeeey! I was poking his injuries you know!” a pouting Kage… yea… yea this village was doomed. Marcus would then stand and look to her, “Hehehe, didn’t expect you to stay up during the last part. Specially with how much you screamed and freaked towards the end. Thought you’d blow a gasket and just gonna go foamy at the mouth. Nice job there Lady.”

Marcus ears would only twich to the sound that would probably make others wince in pain. He turned towards the sound and tilted his head a bit. What was that all of a sudden? Had someone blown out a speaker… or was Getsue trying to sing again.

Morde was about to speak when she heard the loud screeching noise that would make her wince. “Dammit! Is Getsue trying to sing again?! Marcus didn’t you tell her not to?!”

Morde began to growl a bit more as the screeching left a ringing in her ear even after it was gone. Looking ahead, she was ignoring her two clan members now… almost. She placed a hand on Harumi’s face and pushed her away (anime like so she’d probably go rolling or something and possibly breaking the gentusu). “I’m gonna kill whoever did that!”

In a flash, the cat woman was gone… but not without leaving a indent in the ground where she pushed off at.

Marcus looked on and smiled a bit. Soon enough, he would look rather serious and then looked to something that was walking up to them A rather interesting looking jester was coming through the group and would stop in front of Marcus. He would hand the man a note and then vanish into a puff of smoke.

Marcus looked the note over and began to grin again. “Hey! The play’s about to start. Come on you slow pokes!” Marcus stated. No real information beyond that but still. He would move back to the line… back to Roy and soon take ahold of the back of his jacket, “Yo, chibi hentai, come on. I need you to do something for me.” Without even giving Roy a chance to object, Marcus was already walking off towards the stage.

The stage… if it could be called that and not a stadium, was built to exact specifications and done with the masterful hands of craftsmen centuries old. Just as Marcus and the others had walked up, Crystal would be putting the finishing touch on it, the Rialto family crest under stage center. She turned and looked to Marcus and moved over to him. He would wrap his arms around her and smile, “You did a great job dear!”

The black blob would hop up and down a bit to show her joy. Marcus then looked back to the group and smiled, “So, we have our Tsuchikage… but now… who’s gonna be the 4th…” Marcus began to look between the kids that were there.

“Wait… what the hell are you talking about?!” Roy finally spoke up.

“For the play, what else?” Marcus said somewhat abscentmindedly. He then looked over to Shadow and looked him over a bit then shrugged, “Meh, you’re from Konoha right kid? Your names… Darkness or something right? Come on Emo-name, you’re the 4th Hokage.” Marcus would… again, grab the two boys and begin to take them back stage. However he stopped, “Anyone else wanna be in the play?”

"Oh no! Onee-chan, you got Badger-san!" It was funny, it looked as if his brains melted out of no where! Soon enough Morde would place a hand on Harumi's face and push her away as if it was nothing, not wanting to fall also, Shizuka would jump off of her sisters shoulders when she got the chance. She would stumble a bit as she did so but she would make it to Marcus as he asked the question. With a fish like face (O3O) interested in this play, she would raise her hand and jump in front of the Tsuchikage. "OOh! me, me! Pick me! Nya! I wanna be in the play!"

(( Haha yeah sorry it wasn't clear, i was trying to write his reactions to everything that i missed, so when he was angry about not having the money it was before Sakeme talked to her. I just forgot to put that in XD ))

Shadow cringed at getting poked in the wounds. He didn't answer the fingers question mainly cause he knew he wasn't seeing right, and he didn't want to guess incorrectly. Shadow grinned at Elruda, mainly because he was happy that she was just as miserable as he was with this situation! But now that the introductions were over Shadow was glad to not have to worry about interacting with her. Ever. Wait she was from Konoha... Damnit... He shook it off and smiled at Youko's apology.

No need to apologize Youko-sama! It's quite okay! Shadow then glared at Marcus, still upset at the wound poking. Given he might have done the same, and couldn't complain to much since most of the damage was self inflicted. As the jester rolled through and Marcus called them slow pokes shadow opened his mouth to say

SLOW!? What are you tal- However Marcus was already gone, not that he would have stayed for Shadow's whining and complaining anyways. Shadow ran behind him to go on about not being slow, but then Marcus turned and called him emo, usually being called a slow emo would have set Shadow off on a long winded rant, however before he got to it he was given the role of his hero. In an instent his eyes turned wide and seemed to become blue diamonds, the tears of joy made them sparkle all the more.

Th-th-THANK YOU!!! Before another moment had passed he was begging to run to the stage but then stopped. He looked back for a moment and grinned. He knew Sakeme wasn't exactly the out going type, but what the hell? He ran next to the girl and grabbed her by the wrist, raising up her hand. Before she could speak he just said Here. here! This girl would LOVE a roll in the play! He stood next to her, making sure to hold on tight so she wouldn't try to jerk her hand down... Though Shadow wasn't really physically strong, so he supposed if she tried hard enough it'd break his grip

[[# 1 baby! WOOOT!]]

Marcus would nod a bit and looked to the choices that had been made. He didn’t mind one way or the other and then smiled, “Nah, I’m not gonna be the Tsuchikage, he is.” He would point to Roy who began to blink.

“Wait, what?! I didn’t ask for a part in this stupid play!” Roy would begin to snap but then sighed. He knew Marcus would just drag him along anyway, “Oh bother, FINE.”

It didn’t take long for him to be dressed in the customary costume of a Kage… shrunken and shortened obviously. The same could be said for all of the chosen rolls. There were still a few left but Marcus only smiled. There were plenty of extras to play rolls if they couldn’t find anyone.

However, Marcus would then look to Elrude and begin to look about her body. “Hmmm who to make you… who to make you…. OH I know. You can be Tsunade, the legendary Sannin and Godaime but those two title are a distance past the timeline of this play. She was pretty flat and a tomboy when she was younger too you know.

Marcus would don the robes of some decrepit old man and smiled as he looked. He would be the narrator of the play.

“Now… as for you pretty kitty…” he was lookin to Shizuka… “Too bad this isn’t a purely konoha play, I’m sure you’d make a great 9-tail fox… hmmm maybe Gamabuta… OH! I know, you can be the 4th’s wife! She was a mother/wife figure so we don’t know that much about her so just do what you like.

“I prefer something with a bit more base and a smoother pitch… like a funeral possession.” The voice would come from behind Kae. Only a slight gust of wind would alert him that something had happened. As he would turn, he would see a tiger woman standing behind him with her arms crossed. Her face displayed every drop of discontent she had for him.

“Well now… lets see here. First you disturb the peace then you tamper with village property… I think I should just up and kill you right now.”

“Morde… stop scaring the kid…” a softer voice came from above them. On top of the speaker was a woman with spiraling red eyes. They were at a slow spin in tune with the music.

“Shut up Yokou. You know how much I hate loud noises…” Morde would snap to the woman and look back to the boy…

Kae whipped around when he heard a voice behind him. "Oh, crap." He stepped back toward the speaker. Maybe this wasn't such a good idea after all. The woman toward over him, and his eye's filled with a brilliant white most likely with fear. When she mentioned killing him. Kae, stepped back father bumping into the speaker. He knew he had to get out of here. The two women were probably high level ninja though. He had no chance. Kae turned quickly, ripping his ninpod from the speaker which simply went stopped with a loud click. He fled around the back of the stage. Deciding to try and go for a place he could hide, Kae jumped to the top of the stairs and into the back of the stage. He burst through the curtains, and stopped. The crowd stood before him, watching and wondering what had happened to the music. "Eh, ********> He whispered to himself. He was in serious trouble now.
