Welcome to Gaia! ::

(hmm, I've been taking lessons since I was twelve, jumped my first building at fourteen)

Kageko started to argue, but decided not to, fearing that her argument might insult Hiruzen. "Alright then," she responded, her small body already disappearing into the crowd as she sprinted to her home. Kageko couldn't help but think as she easily weaved through the mass of people, .
-Exit-

Kageko slipped through the crowd, trying to find Hiruzen, which was just about as easy as trying to find a needle in a haystack. the girl thought from behind her fox mask, which was completely black except for three white, whisker-like lines on each cheek and a white inside for each of the ears, . Unable to find an alternative method, Kageko was stuck with going with the crowd and keeping her eye open for her friend. However, finally, she had enough, and with that she jumped onto the top of a stand then, from there, onto the top of a building. From the building's roof, Kageko looked around for her friend as her kimono, which was completely black except for a white sash and white bands bordering the edges of the sleeves and dress, fluttered in the slight breeze. On the right side of her head, too far to the right to be covered by her fairly shallow mask, was a crescent moon-shaped hairpin, the black color of which contrasted sharply with the white of her hair. Looking around from her new vantage point, Kageko finally caught a glimpse of Hiru's fox mask and his clothes next to the fishing booth. she thought to herself as she made sure that her mask was covering her entire face while making her way towards the booth where Hiruzen was at.

(OOC: I think Ultima has the idiocy part down xd .)

Kageko, unlike Hiruzen, tended to make friends easily and already considered the boy her friend, which was why she was currently planning a trap on him. However, it was nothing too big, just something small and simple, seeing as they haven't known each other for that long. Sneaking up quietly behind him, Kageko switched her normal, black fox mask with a much more demonic, red fox mask that she had just bought. For a weapons user, she was extremely quiet thanks to training from her older brother. Making sure to not show any signs of her sneaking up behind Hiruzen, even keeping her shadow hidden, the girl crept up behind the boy and let loose a blood-curdling yell as soon as she was right behind her friend, shaking her head furiously in an attempt to make the already scary mask even more scary.

(OOC: LANCE!!! HIRUZEN WILL BE PRANKED scream scream scream scream scream !!!!!)

Pouting as she moved her mask down to reveal her eyes while still covering the lower part of her face, Kageko stared up at Hiruzen a bit before complaining, "Hmph! I will get you one day." After getting that out of her system, she responded, "Yep, it's me...," she paused a bit as she noticed all of the fish that he had caught, ".... By the way, what's up with all of the fish?". With her final sentence, she deftly moved the red mask from her face to the left side of her head while pulling down the black mask from the right side of her head to her face, doing her best to hide her whiskers as she did so.

"Wow…," Kageko simply replied as she heard Hiru-chan's reason, "You must be really dedicated…." When she was given the fish, her face practically lit up with joy, which Hiru probably couldn't see because of the mask. However, her enthusiasm could be heard in her voice, "Really? Thank you! Wow, the coloring is so cool!" then she thought of an idea, "Hey, Hiruzen pick up your fish and come follow me!". With that final sentence, the girl then trotted back into the crowd, making sure that her friend would keep up with her.

(OOC: Got it 4laugh . )

Kageko continued trotting through the crowd, looking at the various stands to find what she was looking for, . With a skid, the girl suddenly stopped in front of another game booth. Lined up as prizes were various assortments of dolls and toys and whatnot, ranging from silly masks to simple aquariums to humongous dolls and items. "Wait a bit," Kageko asked Hiruzen as she went up to the stall and asked for five balls, which cost the American equivalent of $2.

The game seemed simple enough, knock all of the stacked blocks, there were three, off of the table to win a starter prize. The starter prizes could then be traded in for bigger prizes, which could then be traded in for the grand prizes. Each intermediate prize required two starter prizes and each advanced price required either three intermediate prizes or six starter prizes. Then, there were the grand prizes. Each grand prize required either three advanced prizes, nine intermediate prizes, or eighteen starter prizes.

Kageko thought to herself as she stretched a bit, and with a glance towards the row holding the grand prizes--which consisted of a large, limited edition doll; a finely crafted flute; a fairly large, glass tank; a pair of tickets to a famous resort; and baseball signed by some famous athlete--Kageko prepared to throw the balls. the girl thought as she wound up and threw her first shot at a tower of blocks, adding a spin to her toss. As the ball made contact with the bottom of the blocks, the spin affected the bounce and caused it to shoot further forward instead of down, pushing all of the block off of the table, . Kageko then picked up another ball for a second shot, which cleared away all of the blocks cleanly, the same with the third shot and so on. After the girl had gone through all five of the balls, she then paid for five more and proceeded to continue attacking the game while the horrified shopkeeper watched helplessly as the small girl landed each and every one of her shots with impeccable accuracy. In no time, she was up to her 15th ball and 15th prize. "Sorry Hiru-chan," she apologized with an embarrassed smile as she rested between shots, "but I swear, this won't take much longer, and, after this is done, I'll make it up to you with a present."
