Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Kid! I'll kick your puny little human a**! And that mutt of your's too!" "Calm down, Merrik. No need to scare the poor kid. He doesn't know what he's in for..." "Stop telling me to freaking calm down! I'm killing that kid, now! Ahh!" Merrik says, as he charges forward, his bare chest, pumping with adrenaline as he charges towards James and Kyo. The stitches holding his body together tightening a little as he runs forward dead set on crashing into the male. One arm pulling back, as electricity forms up his arm, shooting from the sewn portions, and then by using the Dig Me No Grave technique, he launched a large ball of high voltage electricity in the male and their mutt's direction, as it splits into multiple little balls, much like a shotgun effect. Seth stands back, shaking his head slowly as he watches his ally charge forth. If things got rough, he'd move in and pull his friend off. But he was kind of thirsty, and he didn't want to waste a vial of blood. "Well. Have fun, kid. This may be your last battle, your pup's too." Seth says, as he coldly chuckles and watches his ally's attack.

[Taking your offer for a spar, Kasnae_Sunaek. 3nodding ]

[Katon Ame no Jutsu? I'm not familiar. neutral ]

"Ugh.. You idiot.." "Wha—" Seth shakes his head, as he seems to move in a swift little flicker, for the most part, moving forward and grabbing Merrik by the wrist, and then swiveling a little on one foot, as he continues to move forward and then yank Merrik by the arm, taking and throwing him towards the Uchiha with ease. The level one sharingan wasn't all too powerful, as it was suggested to be. Two shinobi, would be able to easily take apart one Sharingan wielding shinobi. Without a hand sign, Seth was then standing within view of the male, moving his hands to cross across his chest, as he looks directly at the male's eyes. Using the Hypnotic Gaze technique, in order to, if eye contact is made, lower their reaction time and willpower for the battle. Meanwhile, Merrik was charging forward with the added speed from Seth, Raising one hand as a blade of electricity is made between his sewn parts on his fingers, he slashes out to attempt to cut the male in half.

Honehime shook herself slightly, sending some of the more plentiful sap clinging to her flying off to rejoin the mass at her feet. The extruded vertebrae quietly shrank back to it's normal size, and returned to the inside of her body where it belonged. She stared at Echidna, keeping an eye on her so that hopefully she wouldn't be taken by surprise again. She used her clan's ability once more, and her arm bones grew out to create something that looked very much like bracers or arm guards. Even though she wasn't very sure about how it would turn out, she charged forward, trying to avoid falling in the slippery sap as she seemed to make a headlong charge toward Echidna. In fact, she was stepping very carefully, but she had yet to truly discover a successful pattern for walking without losing speed because of the sticky stuff.

The frog and the prince? Of course she had heard the old fable, but was that really supposed to be the same as this situation? Then again, Etheldreda had transformed because of a kiss, seemingly. Well, it made as much sense as anything, so she supposed she couldn't really dismiss it completely out of hand, at any rate. She watched in silence as Sakazuki seemed proud of the analogy she had thought of. Lieselotte resisted making a snide comment. After all, they were friends now, it seemed. She doubted they would ever be the best of friends forever, just likes he doubted that Sakazuki's mimicking of her accent was gone for good. But if she kept it to a minimum, then the least she could do was return the favor and hold back a majority of her own teasing comments. "Well zen, should we head back to ze camp, or was zere anyzing else you needed to do first?"

Mei sighed with relief when she heard that it was alright, that she didn't have to go there right now. Of course, her heaved sigh did distracting things to her chest, no surprise there. She was glad that she didn't have to go just yet. First, she was having fun here, everyone was really nice! And second, she had already forgotten exactly what she was supposed to do once she got to the Academy... Of course, as late as she was, they likely weren't even expecting her to show up at all, it had been a couple of days already. It was rare enough for a new student to show up late at all, and even missing almost the entire first day was virtually unheard of. Missing the first several days meant that the student would likely not be coming at all. Then again, Mei wasn't like the other students, so if she ever made it there, maybe they would make allowances.

Zenia had a few moments of silence to herself after removing the line jacker and disassembling it once again. She carefully put the pieces back in their proper places, and then returned to her seat. A moment later, there was a knock at her door, followed by a muffled call of 'room service'. She moved to the door and peered through the spyhole. Sure enough, there was a young man wearing the standard bellhop uniform of the hotel. Of course, he could be an enemy agent in disguise, but she felt confident in her ability to fend off any attacker, even as injured as she was at the moment. So she unlocked the door and waved the young man in, along with the loaded cart he was pushing, filled with the large meal she had ordered. His expression changed to one of shock, as he immediately noticed she hadn't dressed, and he couldn't help but stare. She paid him no mind, taking the platters from the cart and placing them on the table. She then used the cart to rudely shove him back out into the hall, without a tip. Well, aside from the one he tried to hide under his trousers, from what he had seen.

Melona heard Menace's whispered order for her to stop. How could she not hear it, with her head, and ears, so close to Menace's mouth. But she didn't obey. Instead, she savored the taste of the food as she quickly cleaned Menace up. Getting the last morsel, she licked her lips as she straightened up. Several of the more cheeky audience members sighed sadly that the visual cheesecake was already done. She ignored them. Instead, she smiled down at Menace, and slowly licked her lips again, tasting a last trace of Menace's flavor on her lips. "There, all better, Princess! So, are you still hungry, or shall we be off?" Her own dish wasn't finished, but she had had all that she really wanted to eat from it. After the delicacies she'd eaten from Menace, any ordinary food would seem impossibly blase.

Alice could see the ramen stand a short distance ahead, able to remember what it looked like from the brief time she had spent at it the afternoon before. It was still early, so nobody expected the stand to be open for a while yet. Nor would they likely want to come to get any ramen, at least not for a few hours yet. that worked well for Airi's cooking class plans, but what of Alice's bag? The ramen stand was still locked up, so she couldn't look inside until Airi caught up and unlocked it. Until that happened, she was busy walking around the stand, peering behind it, at it's sides, and looking all around, to see if her bag might be next to it. Of course it wasn't. She frowned, a little disappointed. There was still the inside of the stand to check, though, so she didn't give up hope. Her bag had to be there, it just had to!

Haku turned to face Miku and smiled slightly. She had been kind of hoping that the three of them might order the same, and even without saying anything, Miku seemed to land upon the same idea. Of course, it might have been nice if they all ordered different things, but that could sometimes be a little troublesome, too. Not too much trouble, just people always wondering what the other person or persons dessert might be like. And while she was sure that either one of her friends would let her try a bite, and she would do the same for them, sometimes it was nice not to need to do that, for all three to be able to enjoy the same things. After all, there were other things that all three of them did enjoy doing. Singing being the number one activity on the list, of course. There were plenty of others, but they weren't really needed to prove her point to herself. That one had proven it quite amply. Haku snapped out of her train of thought upon hearing what sounded like a dog. That was odd, most restaurants or cafes didn't allow dogs inside. She looked around, but couldn't spot the canine at first. It took her a moment, and then she finally did, spotted it sitting down near Miku. Was it begging for scraps? Unfortunately all three of them had finished their main courses, and their desserts hadn't arrived yet.

V-13 had been distracted by rerouting too much of her processing power to trying to spot the flaw in her earlier maneuver. It wasn't clear, but she thought if her footing had been a bit more precise, she might have been able to move faster, and avoid more of the tracer rounds than what she had been struck with. But while she was busy monitoring her earlier progress, she wasn't continuing the exercise. The new turret slowly came online, and the whirring of it's servomotors and gears was her only clue that she was in trouble. She instantly leaped into action, rushing toward the next bunker. It wouldn't provide much cover, though, it was in the wrong position. A series of near misses reminded her of the first turret, and she tried to simultaneously dodge both turret's bombardment. It was an attempt doomed to failure. She was close to dodging each fresh volley, but each time, a new tracer round or two would hit her, adding one more splash of color to her already vibrant coating. Finally, she determined that she would be receiving more hits regardless, so she simply charged toward the opposite end of the turret zone. She tried dodging, but escape was her first priority. More of the tracer rounds hit her, several in what would be considered a killing shot, right to the center of her back, where a real gun would have been able to destroy enough of her components to render her inoperable. But thankfully these were just tracers, so she made it to the other end of the zone unharmed. The turrets quieted down, and lowered into their offline mode, sinking beneath a sliding panel on the field. V-13 remained where she was, in the narrow safety zone as she looked forward at the next stage of the obstacle course. She was running a diagnostic program at the same time, seeing if her performance could give any clue to just why she wasn't doing as well as her specs reported.

Etheldreda debated getting annoyed at Sakazuki's comparison of her to a lowly frog. She was no fly eating amphibian, she was an ancient and powerful Grimoire! But getting mad wouldn't accomplish anything, so instead she let it go. For now. That didn't mean she wouldn't exact a little vengeance later, at a time of her own choosing. Call it karma, call it poetic justice, but she would have her mild revenge. Nothing to actually jeopardize her partnership with the Circe, of course. She remained hovering, mentally keeping track of how much more time the two of them could remain combined. Without training, without application of magical energy, the merge was only temporary, and relatively short-lived. It would likely last them a single battle, unless the opponent was great in numbers or very powerful. In those cases, it would wear off early, regardless of what trouble that might mean for the two of them.

Dizzy watched as Shouko took her words to heart and plucked a dessert from the platter. Dizzy continued to watch, curious, and a little nervous, wondering if the deer would accept Shouko's offered gift. Deer were, of course, very skittish creatures, the fact that it was even here at all with shouko present was a bit of a surprise. Even when Dizzy first entered the glade, the deer had been a little hesitant around her. But the little one seemed alright with Shouko's presence. Still unsure, in the manner of all deer, but seemingly willing to give her the benefit of the doubt. That, more than anything else, even more than the very yummy food, told her that Shouko was a good person, that she could trust her. Just like the deer, she would likely still be nervous, but she seemed willing to give Shouko a chance. Between her gentle attitude and the gift of a delicious meal, she couldn't really doubt her goodwill.

James moved back, he equipped 2 kunais and something he got out of his pockets, rubber gloves, which he used to wash his pet wolf.

"I hope what I'm thinking works..." he muttered under his voice.

He looked at the other one partially.

"I cant look directly at that one, i have to work my strategy in this game" he said under his voice.

He jumped back on a tree branch and shouted "Katon Ame no Jutsu!" and he deactivated his sharingan. Ready for anything, but not ready for death...he needed some help, only one person to help him in this little spar.

{Raikiri: 383/1800}

James grinned and he tried to laugh. He activated his sharingan and wrapped his both legs on the opponents arm. THe pulled on it and he dislocated every single bone in the arm. Then he kicked him in the knee and made him fall, and he jumped back evading both of them.

"It sort of worked" he said to Kyo.

The little wolf growled at both of the sparring partners and glared at them.

“Well, well, well this looks petty interesting” Ryukosay said as he walked by the fight. Stopped walking to watch what was going on. ‘Two against one that hardly fair, I think I might join in if it looks fun.’ He thought.

'And I'm waiting and I'm waiting, and I'm waiting. These guys need to spare already.' Ryukosay thought as started to look annoyed at the three fighting ninja. "Are you guys going to do something or what!" Ryukosay yelled at them.
