Welcome to Gaia! ::

Harumi had finally let go of Rai's ankle now that Shizuka had volunteered to go up on the stage to be in the play. Raisuke just looked away and refused to make eye contact with Harumi as she mentioned the fact that he was alone with her. He knew what she was doing. He knew when he was being baited. And as to being messed with, it was near constant with her. He kind of bit his lip before speaking. "I planned to show her support already, I don't need any guidance to know that. I trust you will do the same, you are important to her afterall." Then Raisuke heard the voice of his sensei behind him. He turned to look at him and then twitched like he was about to form a tick from seeing his sensei like that. He shouldn't understand what it was, but he had an idea. Because that's the way his sisters boyfriend used to look after not seeing him or his sister for a while. "You have got to be kidding me.. Its a celebration for the people who fought and died for the village. You look like you have just been through a battle yourself.." Rai then just looked over at Harumi for a second before looking up at Shizuka and at the stage being prepared. He looked kind of anxious for it to happen. Like he was upset he was left out.

Sakeme sighed as Shadow continued to wave her hand around, insisting that she wanted to join. Rolling her eyes, but smiling faintly when he squeezed her hand, Sakeme finally spoke up for herself after a while. Most of the cast had been chosen... so there was really only one character she could play. "I'll... be Rin then... if you guys want me too..." Her voice a light whisper to all else. Perhaps this could be a nice opportunity for her... after all, if Zephyr wanted her to be an ambassador for Knoha and Ame, she'd need to learn how to act...

Giglamesh would turn to amaya and just look at her for a minute as if trying to remember whom she was. "Hey....you." Giglamesh's right eye would get kind of shifty as he spoke almost sounding as if he forgot his students name...but he could do that could he...would he?

Giglamesh would blink at katagi...several time during the whole time he was speaking, and the look on his face his right eye was just a big white circle with a heavy black ring. He had several dancing questions marks over his head, he had no idea what he was talking about. ".....uhhh....only wars i know about were the one hundred year revolution...which started earth nation, the qu which followed shortly after the hundred year war, and the war against the fifth dawn. I know what the eki ate is for....but since ive been here it was always for the two wars i mentioned." Giglamesh would look down to raisuke and just stare at him for a moment. "....shut up sparky adults are talking....and it was a uphill battle after each org......uhh....fought a....panther or something...she scratched my back up something ******** fierce." Giglamesh would give a coy grin, much like harumi would give, then...after around five minutes of him standing there he would notice harumi was standing there. "Hey its you....and you have clothes on...OUFFF!!!"

Mid sentence harumi would turn and pounce on giglamesh, he was tired and not expecting it so she floored him, usualy with her and ryoko when they glomped him he would budge in slightest...but like this he was a long wet noodle, harumi was kind of disapointed she liked it when he stood there like a rock. "Aww gigy did little kei ******** you br!!!" Giglamesh would put his hand over her mouth so she would stop what she was about to say, then she would grasp his wrist and bite down hard on to his hand.

"YAAAA!" Giglamesh would sit up and begin to flail his right hand with harumi biting down like a stray dog, as if its bite meant life or death. Giglamesh would flail his arm incredibly fast, as the chibi neko would keep her judo death bite grip on his hand. Then he would just take her by the nape of her neck and lift up and giglamesh would stand holding her out to his side like that. "eheheheh.....so whats a orochiragu? ......sounds like a Italian sauce made from snakes." Still holding harumi up by nape of her neck.

Harumi just dangled all chibi looking aboustly helpless like a kitten, she did move or try to escape his grasp she just dangled just as if a mother kitten would take it kitten by the nape of its neck, she would move just dangle. "nyaaaaaaa" Giglamesh was one of the few that could do this, because he was strong enough and tall enough to hold her as such.

[[Sorry for the slow reply guys. I love how enthusiastic everyone is.]]

The boy Kae dashed off... strange kid but still. Morde kept her stern face but soon broke into a deep laugh. "Oh s**t. I think he crapped his pants or something. I've never seen a Gennin move that fast in my life!"

Yoko would only sigh and shake her head as the Henka burst out laughing. The
Uchiha woman vanished from sight.

[[time to play catch up... again.]]

The rock kicked by Shadow would bean Marcus right in the back of the head. Again, there would be blood but he seemed not to pay much attention... he was a fountain of the stuff or something. Glancing back, he looked to Sakeme and looked her over a bit...

"Huh? Oh... well she didn't says he wanted to be in the play now did she kiddo... your not being... forceful are you?" Marcus arched a brow and moved in close to the boy, invading all manor of personal boundaries. Ahhh not like Marcus cared about things of that nature to begin with. "Forceful too. You'll make a great caveman husband one day." Marcus ruffled the boys hair a bit and heard another boy coming up.

Turning a little, his smile came full swing, "Hay, it's Two Face!" Marcus laughed a little. His comment... would make sense to only him and the boy. Marcus began to move towards the boy and then noticed the reaction of the two. He would arch and eyebrow at this and even more so when Shadow spoke up as well... what the duce was going on.

In just the same amount of time that Marcus had arched a brow, he soon shruged and let it go. Just that quickly, he had let the conversation slip from his memory.

Roy glanced to the entire situation and was at a loss. Not so much a loss as in in awe more so out of irritation. "Yo! Some of us have lives we'd like to get back to so if you all are finished with the soap opera amneisa reunion, can we get this play on the road?" He would sigh deeply again and look off to the side.

Marcus heard the girl Sakeme take the roll of Rin... well that was just about everyone. He noticed another guy pop up but... oh well he didn't know the guy so he didn't really care. "Orochimaru huh? Hmmm snake dude... Oy! Big guy, you wanna be Orochimaru?"

He was speaking toGig. Now, everyone there probably was aware of Gig's mortal... well... hatred for Marcus... except Marcus. Techniqually, he shouldn't even be talking to Gig but meh, that never stopped Marcus before.

Before he could get an answer, he then notice a girl coming around the bend. She had spoken to the big dude and apparently was familiar with a few. Marcus smiled hard (one of those super hard smiles where the eye's are closed and you see all the teeth) as he looked to Amaya "Hey! Tsuchikage! We found you a wife!" he would laugh a bit and take the girl up.

The stage was just about set now. Marcus smiled a bit as he looked to everyon and nodded from one person to another. He had heard the question and began to answer it. "Orochimaru was one of the 3 legendary Sannin. In other words, he was incredibly powerful but a little weird. I like to think of him as a bit misunderstood but either way, he was what he was."

The Uchiha Yoko soon apeared. She looked about to the cast and arched a brow, "What the hell? OOooh the play. Well everythings ready on our end. You guys break a leg... or something.

(expression: -__X cause the one eye thing)

Giglamesh would just glare down the kage, he didnt say anything he just stood there glaring. Slowly his right hand would rise, on his right hand was the middle finger protruded, rest of finger and thumb balled in to a tight fist. With that was the kage's answer he wouldnt do anything for him, he may be the leader of the village...but, to gig, that didnt mean he wassent a d**k. Giglamesh may of been the only one that would outright show this towards him, to everybody else they saw him as the kage, a role to be respected but to gig.....he was a d**k with a straw hat. Giglamesh still held harumi in his left hand by the nape of her neck, she was still just kind of limp not trying to resist just limp like a mother cat grabs a kitten by the nape of its neck.

There was a dimness of the area... how that was possible considering there was no roof since the place was outside was probably best not to ask really. An old man began to walk out onto the stage.

To set the place for everyone, even though the stage was made of wood, the landscape seemed more like someone snatched up a huge chunk of the Kara Badlands and destroyed it even more. There was sand and dirt scattered about with various stones and such. To those who would pay extra close attention, they would notice that the stage was on a rotating platform. There were actually several sets already pre made and ready to be moved into position for the plays many parts. Althoug... what could those parts be if this play was about the war?

Either way, the man would walk to the front of the stage and begin to sit down. A ragged cough left his lips as he cluched his chest. A few members of the audience stood thinking the man truely in pain as he coughed. He was truely capturing their attention with his motions.

He soon raised a hand and took out a pipe. Lighting it, he took a long slow draw from the item and then let out the smoke slowly. "I'm not long for this world... no... not long at all. I find it a tiring path to carry the burden of history on my shoulders. I suppose thats what happens when you're a historian but... bah. Kids these days don't want to know about history... they don't want to know about what brought them to the point they are at now... only what's new and hip... they don't understand that the freedoms they enjoy now are bought with the blood of their ancestors. Personally, I blame the parents but thats just my opinion."

Another draw of the pipe and he would cough a bit again, "I suppose... that I need to start passing along the tales of the past... starting with wars that bought our freedom... have you all heard of the 2nd Great War? Well... I'm sure you have but do you know about it? What really happened? Would you like to? Hmmm I think you all have decent enough ears to hear the story."

His voice was completly changed. Not through jutsu or device, but through shear acting ability. Had the other actors not known this to be Marcus, they could easily be fooled. The lights on the stage would be lite and soon Roy would be seen on one end of the stage with several shinobi by his side(extras). At the other end, Shadow would be on the other end with an equal contengent of shinobi.

The extras, aware of the situation would charge each other and begin to attack each other. Mind you, the stage was huge, more than enough room for the 20 extras to move about the stage in full combat(minuse the real weaponry).

Roy would look about and get an idea of what was going on quickly. He would raise his hand and trust it forward, "Strike and destroy the detestible Konoha. Show them the power of the village of stone!"

(I hope I can still do my part properly while I'm in the middle of moving from one house to the other. >> ^_^; )

Sakeme bit her lip to suppress the smile that was trying to escape from her as Elruda's anger flared. Yes, she made a good Tsunade... Sakeme was just glad she had a more "minor" of the major characters than anything really. She would do her best no matter what though. She didn't want to let anyone down, now, since she'd finally agreed to be a part of the play. Darting backstage, as things were getting set, she got herself ready for when she was syupposed to appear.

"W-whats my lines? I-I never thought it was going to be this embarrassing to be in a play." Katagi was sweating bullets in nervousness of being on stage! But by the looks of it, Shinratsu and Elruda were doing pretty good. They both must of acted on stage back in their respective villages of Kirigakure and Amegakure...maybe shinobi from water villages were better at acting while the desert like countries were more wild and rocked out more in music? Then again he never knew any one from Sunagakure to rock out. His sensei the fourth hokage Minato was played by the guy who he made fun of a while back, Shadow...which was going to be a hell of a time to act with him.

"Was...that a punch of acting or a punch from the real Elruda?" Katagi had a huge sweat drop appear on his forehead.
