Welcome to Gaia! ::

Honehime looked up as Kuroshika got to his feet, seemingly none the worse for wear after what had happened the day, and night, before. He seemed perfectly healthy, and downright energetic, perfectly calm and at ease. Something about that poked at the back of her mind, though. Hadn't he been a near nervous wreck the day before when near girls? Now he seemed at ease, like there was nothing bothering him. Had he matured a little, or was something different in a completely different way? Had he bumped his head and this was the result?

Lieselotte watched silently as Sakazuki got to work, the Circe seeming to be seriously focused now. Slowly but surely the snake flesh was trimmed down, until about half of it was remaining and declared edible. Nodding at this, she began to adjust the snake's skin she had used to carry the flesh, into two smaller pieces. One to transport what they would keep, the other to help carry the mass of inedible flesh away from their camp, and back to the corpse.If it was that dangerous, then having the flesh decay in just one area would be bad enough, there was no reason to spread it around any more than that.

Mei had picked up one of the small spheres and was staring at it curiously. Even after trying to read the book, she still didn't know how tossing this at someone was supposed to do anything. It must just be a silly and pointless item for a silly and pointless girl. She sighed, just about prepared to put it back in the box and forget all about it. Just then, Kuroshika got up and energetically greeted them, surprising her. She jumped a little, sending very distracting movements through the rest of her body. As she did, she lost her grip on the sphere, and it flew threw the air, in a somehow perfect arc to attempt to hit Sakazuki in the back.

Zenia turned back to Shuku and nodded slightly in return for the Mayonaka introducing herself. When she was asked if she was a messenger kunoichi, she only smiled slightly, just a ghost of a grin upon her face. "...something like that. I actually have one more delivery to make, a special one. Do you know a Lieselotte Achenbach?" She was taking a gamble here, announcing her true target. Lieselotte hadn't been as punctual as her masters wanted, so they had hired Zenia to 'encourage her'. Certainly not the best job, but the pay was good, and there were so many worse jobs out there.

Melona grinned a little when Menace called the staff temperamental, wondering if it really was. She kind of wanted to talk to it now, see what the Imhotep was talking about! But before she had a chance to ask, Menace released her staff. But rather than fall to the ground with a clatter, it hovered, apparently suspended under it's own power. A moment later, before she had a chance to react, it blurred into motion, cracking down atop her head. Rather than cause a comically large lump, however, the staff actually indented her head, far beyond what a human's skull could handle. Her cover was effectively blown.

Alice turned her head to look up at Airi, meeting her gaze. For a long moment, she didn't say anything, then she turned her head back to look at the path in front of her. Which was lucky, otherwise she never would have noticed the small pothole in the road. Hopping neatly over it, she finally answered. She supposed Airi would find out sooner or later, so she might as well tell her about it. "It's... it's called Queen's Blade. Women from all over the land are being drawn into it, to fight and compete, for the title of Queen and to be the strongest. The current Queen has held the title for the last two tournaments, but she can't win forever, even if she is part demon!"

[Yep yep lol.Well here he goes...]

| Oi! Keep the chatting in the Out of Character guys! If you have to chat then at least post something along with it. If not then please take it to the Out of Character. |

Honehime turned to look at all of the others, or at least all of the others who had remained in the camp. She didn't want to ask aloud if Kuroshika's manner seemed different, but all the same she was definitely wondering that very same question. So instead she just looked at everyone else, trying to judge by their expressions what they thought of his new attitude. She wasn't getting a bad feeling, so his new personality shouldn't be harmful to them, at the very least, but even so, something made her feel a little on edge, just a tiny bit.

Lieselotte had only just finished adjusting the snake skin into two packages and begun to stand up when she saw the small object out of the corner of her eye. It didn't seem to be aimed at her, but her instincts still drove her into action, whirling around to see who the attacker was. Only to look in confusion at the cow girl, Mei. Then a flash of light behind her grabbed her attention, and she spun back around, the twin packages of snake flesh dropping forgotten to the ground. What in the world was happening?

Mei watched curiously as the small sphere arced up and then dropped, before striking Sakazuki in the back, eliciting a cry of surprise and pain. She winced in sympathy, she hoped it didn't hurt too much! But then her eyes locked on the scene as something very unexpected happen. The small red and white sphere snapped open, before sucking Sakazuki inside in a flurry of light. A moment later it would spit her out, unharmed and unchanged, as it rocked back and forth a few times. Finally, the sphere would ding it's completion, waiting to be picked up again. Mei walks toward it, unsure of what had just happened. As she sees Kuroshika pick it up, she wonders if he knows what it is. When he asks if it's a crystal ball, she only shakes her head. She's pretty sure it isn't, it didn't feel like crystal and it didn't tell the future. She didn't think it did, anyway. She holds a hand out, and asks for it back, so she can figure out what to do next.

Zenia's gaze focused as Shuku admitted she did know her target. Smiling slightly, she looked over the Mayonaka's shoulder, staring in the direction of their camp. It was true, her target was ahead! She grinned again, a slight, predatory smirk as she adjusted her posture, as if already preparing to move forward. Then something about her seemed to change, she seemed again an unobtrusive delivery kunoichi again. "Could you... not tell her I'm here? It's a surprise." With that, she nodded and began to slip back and to the side, to vanish into the brush.

Melona only grinned at Menace's accusation, and let her head reform, before letting her entire body return to her natural shape. Once completed, she smirked at Menace and flashed a pose, before straightening up. She still had a wide grin on her face, but there was something in her eyes that this smile wasn't about anything funny. "I had hoped to play around a little more before destroying you. Now it looks like you'll be joining those in your staff a lot sooner than before." She took a step forward, readying herself to fight Menace.

Alice looked at Airi curiously as the older girl went into a coughing fit shortly after mentioning the Queen's Blade. Curious. When she was asked why she was entering, she stayed silent as she thought, and put her thoughts into order, before skipping ahead a few paces and then turning back to look at Airi. Finally ready to answer, she bent forward a little. If she was an older woman, the change in posture would have been very distracting. As it was, it would still be distracting, but only to a certain type of deviant. She, of course, was oblivious to this. "Well, I want to become stronger, I need to become more powerful. And if I win and become Queen, then I'll never be dragged into fights I don't want to ever again!"

Hara followed behind the man looking straight into sky watching a hawk fly with such beauty. He didn't even notice when the man turned and would talk to him. They walked into this little hut that was filled by a weight bench and and other types of free weights.
"What is your bench max?" the man asked.
"I can do about 135" he responded.
"Well I want to see you doing 160 before you can leave."
"Yes sir." Hara said gladly. He jogged over to the bench and added 100 pounds to the bar. He stretched his arms before starting. HE didn't want to start out too heavy and pull a muscle. He layed on his back and began to lift. He did 15 reps of 100 pounds then he added the other 35.

weight lifting 1/3

((killer do you want to train with me? I need help with the clone and sub jutsu and with the rest of the trainning skills that I haven't completed yet.))
Yoshimitsu had gotten up from his long rest with his vision staff and asked a random student where the dummies were. And stabbed deep into the dummy, large tuning forks into were the middle of the torso, head and the limbs would be. He then with a light tap with his Vision staff, they rang out to him as clear as bells as he focus his hearing on them. His fists and feet began to began to heavily and quickly hit and connect, the connection hits could be heard from around the training area. The Orimara family were known as excellent martial artists especially the branch family. Yoshimitsu rested for a moment and wiped the sweat from his brow and let his hands feet rest for a moment. then began again after about a minute or so but now, he could hear the dummy splinter and crack a bit and could feel that his strikes where getting more accurate and more powerful. the long he trained with the dummy, the more it began to weaken. Yoshimitsu began to get more get more technical with his strikes and moved around a bit more, doing a punch combo of two palm strikes to the face, 6 roundhouses to the torso then to a rising kick to the head with each leg. then threw a spinning elbow ending with a back roundhouse. and with a final really precise, well placed and powered punches and kicks..."that is how a blind man fights." he says with a smirk with his tuning forks in his hand aster he pulls them out. and pulls out his staff from the ground and as he walks away from the battered dummy and the rings on his staff chimes...it falls to pieces. and he then puts himself near the weight area where he was had the look he was watching a kid working out and found a stool and waited for him to notice; he could tell it was a dude by the way he grunted as he pushed up the weights.

Honehime watched in confusion as Sakazuki vanished, but only for an instant. She looked from one of the group to another, trying to catch up with what was going on. She had only been gone for a few minutes getting some water, how could this much chaos happen in such a short time without warning? She stared at the small red and white ball that Kuroshika was holding. Mei seemed to want it, and Sakazuki seemed to want it destroyed. What was the proper answer? Was there a proper answer? She couldn't tell, everything was so jumbled her limited precognition wasn't telling her anything useful.

Lieselotte watched as the small object sucked Sakazuki inside, and then spat her out. then the object was picked up by Kuroshika, although Mei seemed to want it. What had the ball even done, anyway? She took a closer look at Sakazuki and saw she seemed a little freaked out. Moving closer, she set their revialry aside. "Are you alright?" She held a hand out to the Circe, in case she wished to have ahand to help her get up. She looked like there was something in that ball that had frightened her. Or was it the ball itself that had caused such a feeling?

Mei was getting confused and discombobulated by all of the chaos all around her. The ball had eaten Sakazuki, then spat her out again. She hadn't been expecting that! She tried thinking back if there would have been anything that she had read within the manual that would tell her what she should do now. She seemed to recall something about using her 'dex to scan the sphere, but the manual made it sound like that would let them see what was inside of the sphere. She didn't need to know that! Sakazuki had been inside of it, and now she wasn't! No, she needed to know what had happened, had the sphere tried to eat her, would it do so again? And what in the world was the 'dex good for, anyway?

Zenia had slowly circled around the camp until she was at the side where Lieselotte was standing, holding out a hand to Sakazuki. Zenia resisted taking that as an opportunity to make her move, there was far too much excitement in the clearing at the moment. It looked like she would have to wait for a while longer. She settled into a more comfortable position, and tried to follow the multiple threads of conversation, try to make sense of what all was happening.

Melona had begun to advance on the Imhotep, jiggles running through her body with every step, even more than would run through even the most impossibly curvaceous woman out there. She was just about to attack, when an idea struck. It may be a little cruel, but nothing that would kill Menace. She focused for a moment, changing her shape again, now taking Menace's own form, complete with a gel copy of her staff. "Nuh-uh! You are really the worst!" Her new voice would sound almost exactly like Menace's own, she was a near perfect double.

Alice stopped what she was doing when Airi pointed out the fatal flaw in her plan. That was right! She reeled a little as the sheer magnitude of her error became clear. If she were to somehow win and become the Queen, then of course she would have to defend her title and position! But then again, if she had that title, then she would have order, there would be rules to be followed for anyone who truly wished to take her title. All of this thinking took it's time, it wasn't until a very long moment later that she turned to look at Airi once more with her response at the ready. "Maybe so, but at least then there would be some form of rules, the fights would be at least somewhat regulated. I think that would help, instead of expecting attacks constantly, wouldn't it?"
