"Hmm. I may not be your God yet, but I assure you in time, that is how you will see me.. As far as my name, I am known as Ares Kami." He says with a pause, listening to her following question, as the smile upon his face widens just a hair. "You're right though.. It would be much more simple that you were to simply become mine.. You do not need to be my team mate.. For your purpose can become so much greater then that of something so trivial that will be taken and cast aside once this exam is finished." Ares says with a slightly more twisted grin, his posture shifting slightly, as he continues to hold his hand out to her. This wasn't an aim for a handshake, it was an aim for an agreement. This would be the first time he simply extends an invitation to his own personal religion, without applying any means of force behind his invitation. "I assure you, unlike those others that may be rather too weak hearted in this room.. I, as your God, will fulfill any desire that you wish, as long as you fulfill those desires to which I wish from you.." He says finally, though he could have forced her to become his teammate with his own power, Ares had decided it to be more interesting to give forth a more suitable offer then something like a teammate, although he could tell through reaction alone that she had a gist of what this sort of deal would call forth, Ares was well in confidence that he would have her as his own with due time. Even if such a thing would need to be done on the battlefield.

 As Asuka looked on into the conversations in the room, he noticed something unfortunate. There seemed to be a rather young genin trying to get the clown girl and one of the other cloud genin to be on his team. But Asuka knew that the other cloud genin were already paired, and it seemed like Pillo might join with them. Out of curiosity Asuka gazed upon the small boy with his Ryuugan for a short while. He was surprised to find that the boys juutsu style was rather strange, one that Asuka could not really pin down with his Ryuugan. The cloud genin was a little apprehensive about even considering it, but it looked like this boy was his main chance at having any team mates at the moment. Asuka walked over to the small huddle of people and approached the boy, kneeling down a bit so that he was at eye level. "Hey kid. I think that cloud village girl is already teamed with somebody, meaning that the clown lady is probably going to join them. But I don't have a team yet. Would you like to join with me?" Asuka held out his hand to the boy. "My name is Asuka Sinobi of the Village Hidden in the Clouds."

 Long moments after everyone had been asked to assemble, and had had time to have squabbles and negotiations, a series of sheets of paper fell away from one of the room's walls. Once they had, it was revealed that there had actually been a bit more to the room, really just an indent in the wall. Not much, but enough for a person to remain out of sight. If they were to, say, use sheets of paper to create a reproduction of the walls around them. Shiori hadn't wanted to play her hand too soon, a little observation had been the order of the day. So she had remained hidden from sight, and nobody had gone in search of her. But she had been there all along. That time had been spent considering the others' personalities, who might be suitable for being her partners in this exam. She had a few potential candidates, but until she had discussed it with them, nothing was guaranteed. Her papers stored themselves back in her bag as she strode forward, eyes drifting from one face to another, to match qa person with a voice. Some were easy enough to place, but the two she was searching out had yet to give themselves away. Grimace Ome and Nita Kyota. She spotted two who could be her prospective partners and approached, a neutral look on her face and not making any aggressive moves. She had heard an attack earlier, she wouldn't put it past any of the more devious hopefuls to try to eliminate the competition early. "Would the two of you be Nita and Grimace, by chance? I am Jiten Shiori, and I would like to make a proposition..."

 ♣ P i l l o XXP a n y a ♣
Pillo's attention was taken away form the female in front of her to look at what seemed to be the shy boy who raised his hand up awhile ago. She watched as the boy started to play with his hair and saw an off grin appear on his face. She then watched as something amazing happened. The shy boy had turned in to a crazy looking female who seemed to have the complete opposite attitude compared to the male part. Pillo stared at the now girl in awe. She wasn't sure if it was a trick or if this was a clan ability however she did know that she wanted to learn how to do such a thing. The girls eyes where wide with amazement as she stared at the names written on the paper. " So cool!," She said while clapping her hands together showing that she was very impressed over this situation. " Pillo Pan'ya, pleased to meetcha." She said with a grin before taking off her hat and giving Fushou Seibetsu the same showman ship bow she gave to all. She then took out her paper and thought about how to make her order. As she thought about it the female placed the hat back on top of her head.
Team # 1. Rosalia Laxzi 2. Fushou Seibetsu 3. Reiko Seldab
Once she wrote down the names her smile couldn't leave her face. " Ah there couldn't be such a fun list, " She said while holding on to her paper. She wanted to keep it just incase anyone did want to switch. She then paused when hearing a male voice speak up. She looked over and saw the boy with the orange hair talking with the blue haired female. The female made her body lean back, using the bottom of her heal to support her body, listening to the conversation. She also kept her body facing towards Rosalia, showing that she was still keeping her attention to her.

You don't remember me, but I remember you. I lie awake and try so hard not to think of you. But who can decide what they dream? And dream I do.☽Rosalia Laxzi☾I believe in you. I'll give up everything just to find you. I have to be with you to live, to breath... You're taking over me.Mysterious and Curious  Distant but CaringCan you know what I know and all we have. You saw me mourning my love for you and touched my hand. I knew you loved me then. I look in the mirror and see your face, if I look deep enough. So many things inside that just frighten you are taking over. "No, I have not. This will be my first exam," Rosalia answered with a smile. The girl looked up at the ceiling and then looked back down, holding her hand up and seemed to be doing a peace sign, though her words quickly explained that it was her second time. Hearing the girl tell her that she kept forgetting every year to come back, it made Rosalia chuckle a little. "Then I guess that it was a good thing that you came back this year then, nyeh?" She smiled as she lightly crossed her arms, relaxed at the moment. Usually she was always on high alert, but at this time, things were alright for once. And the girl was learning to become more sociable, and thus it seemed to be easier to talk with Pillo. Good thing that she didn't have the Coulrophobia, though it wasn't like she had ever encountered a clown, nor had she seen any movies with insane clowns in it {she would be referring to back at her home}. "So what are the exams like, seeing as you had them once? I have only heard that it was difficult."
Though then Rosalia paused as someone skipped over and instantly became part of the group, introducing herself as Seibetsu Fushou. She showed her and Pillo a list as she wrote, and found that her name was written on the list. Rosalia blinked as the girl continued on, who turned to her and talked about how she wanted Pillo to join her group but saw that the girl wanted Rosalia on her team, and thus to appease the girl of the Hidden Clown village, she decided to put Rosalia's name on the list. Frankly, she was just surprised. "Well, that is up to you and Pillo, Seibetsu," she said with a small smile. Then a boy came over and started talking to Seibetsu... hm, so much decisions on everyone's part.
But all the same... Rosalia pulled out the small piece of paper that she had for some time, the third part having been blank. Even though Seibetsu had come over to ask Pillo, it seemed that she had teammates now, and Rosalia felt good enough to put Pillo's name on the list.
Team # 1. Reiko Seldab 2. Rosalia Laxzi 3. Pillo Pan'ya
That looked good enough to her... hopefully they had a good chance of making it through the exams. Loyalty and trust were very important, even more so than power and techniques. After all, a team can't function without the first two things. Oh, and teamwork. That was definitely important.Character Current Theme Song Lion is an Angel

 ♣ P i l l o XXP a n y a ♣
Pillo leaned a bit forward when hearing the other females question about the exams. She had to think back as it was awhile ago when she was at the exams." They are a bit annoying to deal with at first but all in all they are fun. I remember only two task right now from the previous exams I went to. One of them was where we had to find objects in a house. It was really fun because they where hidden in some of the most strangest places, ya know?" She asked, not caring for answer from the other female. " The other time was everyone picking a door out of three options. The doors where in the shape of a square, cross and a circle. Anyone who picked the circle door had a heart attack. I was lucky to pick a square." She explained as her face seemed to grow a bit pale. She was just happy that she had chosen the square door at that time. As she thought about it more and more the female was unsure on why she was here. ' If I don't pass this time then I can just become a missing ninja right?' She thought while straightening her stance and giving Rosalia a smile. The exams where always going to be hard and in general many did not pass however she had a good feeling about the people she had met so far. The people on her list didn't seem boring so at least she knew she wouldn't fall asleep or try to force a genjutsu on them to make them fun. Either way this seemed to be the best outcome for her.

 ~:: Towards Jiten Shiori ::~ "Ah. Jiten. You were one of the people I wanted to have teamed up with in the first place. If your proposition is to form a team, then I would be glad to have you as my team mate," said Nita with a smile. He was rather impressed with the fact she came from the wall by utilizing the small indent with optical illusions of the three dimensional world. Nita was rather happy that he was able to see her potential through what he was able to get from her mind.

 "Indeed, that was my intent." With that, their prospective team was formed. Though a third was still needed. Would Grimace be interested in joining the two of them as well? She turned slightly to better face the Hyuuga (what else could she be, with eyes like that?) to await her answer. She knew a little, very little, about her two prospective partners. Enough to have a decent idea toward their placement in battle. A good all-around team, they should be formidable if they could work together. Team #1. Grimace Ome? (Undecided) 2. Nita Kyota 3. Jiten Shiori

Fushou Seibetsu [Death Swallower]  Seibetsu watches Pillo as she puts her name onto her paper along with Rosalia's. Would that work? Is that okay? The Death Swallower assumed that it would work fine. Even with a combination like that, no one would be left out. However, it was still a bit odd. The Death Swallower considers and finally says, "You-" Only to be interrupted by the arrival of someone wishing to team up with her. She had her back to him at first but soon turned to look at him. "I'm aware of what she has in mind, Asuka," Seibetsu states in a less childish tone. It gave off an adult sound and her expression was blank. "Pillo is the one I want on my team. More importantly, if it comes to a point where Fushou is in control, then he wants her on his team too. Mutual feelings for a single individual, you see. So I had to give it a shot, if not for the sake of trying." The girl ponders over whether or not to bash her head into Asuka's for crouching down and making her feel small, but she had more important things to do that to throw a tantrum. "Who would be joining with us? I refuse to do what Fushou did and put our names separately on a line."
She eventually looks away from Asuka and over to Grimace at the same time she looks at her. "Stupid girl," she thinks as her attention returns to Asuka. She takes a tiny hand and shifts it through his hair in the same fashion a child would; like she was just curious what the stuff was. "I like your hair and don't want to cause Pillo trouble, so I will team up with you." She removes her hand and turns her head to look at Pillo. "You don't have to put me on your list, Pillo. I've decided to join up with Mr. Asuka Orange Hair instead. He seems like he'd be fun to..." She turns and smiles at Asuka sweetly, making her 'to' sound like 'too', before her mind goes on, "...spook. I wonder if those eyes of his can see what kind of a freak I am or not. He seems like the type that wears his emotions openly, so hopefully when he sees me get serious I spook him a bit. Make those squinted eyes of his really pop." She then steps back from Asuka, should he not have snatched away when she touched his hair before, and speaks again. "I like to touch people, so if you don't like it then you'll have to slice off my hands." She stares at Asuka after a few moments, awaiting his next move as far as getting a final member or his decision to team up with someone else because she was just too creepy. Ome [Hyuuga], Grimace  Decisions, decisions. Turns out that Nita and Ares are of the same village. The two seem to have an interest in her as a teammate. And they both have others in mind than the other so the three teaming up wouldn't happen. Not that Grimace would want them to both be on the same team with her anyway. At any rate, Nita gave an interesting answer to her questions. As well, after Shiori reveals herself, Grimace began to think that Nita was on to something. This woman seemed to give off an air that she wasn't just any participant. The Hyuuga looks at those around her carefully before weighing things in her mind. If she chose not to team up with Nita and Shiori then she would be matched with Fushou Seibetsu and Ares. She would rather not be on a team with her organization mate and wasn't sure how Ares would twist their agreement to be teammates into her becoming something more, as he described. She wondered if it would be so bad to be that something more as well. Her mind regains it's train of thought as she thinks on if she were to join Nita and Shiori's team. They seemed to have a good grasp of the people present and accented her better than most would.
She could see herself forming some interesting strategies and tactics. However, how much better of a partner is Nita compared to Ares? If they were from the same village and possibly even the same ancestry then she could be losing out at some level. And as for Shiori, she hadn't gotten much of a feel for her. She had performed an interesting entrance but she wondered if her teaming up with Fushou Seibetsu would have more of a bonus for her since the child did have a way of meeting the needs Grimace set for her team. The red head sighs lightly and shrugs her shoulders. In the end, she would have to listen to her ego. "I know this decision may come back to haunt me and that there is a chance that my decision will hold little point once things progress. But I think that I would have much more of a good time fighting Ares and his team should this turn into a team fight. I'd like to see his wrath and if my decision is worth anything in this since he is God, after all." She raises a hand and shifts her fingers through her hair, placing the bell she had been playing with within it.
She then brings her hand back down before speaking again. "And should this alliance not be as we assume and the Proctor decides that the teams themselves aren't teams at all in the way we believe, I will be able to face off against my team as well. It's a win, win. What tipped the scale is that if I didn't choose this team then I would be stuck with that child. I'd rather not be on a team with her or the boy." Her eyes drift over to Seibetsu before she turns to her team. Grimace would finally jot down her teammates names onto her paper:
Team # 1. Nita Kyota 2. Jiten Shiori 3. Grimace Ome
She figured there was more time to choose teams so she would still keep her options open even though she wrote those names down.

 Nita smiled at the two. He now had his group that he wanted to assemble and Ares will now feel some sort of humility. Not sure if that would make him a little less timid or more hostile towards his group, Nita just wanted to show that even Gods can not get what they want. After all, if God created the world and wanted everything to go his way, why would God grant free will to everything? Nita pulled out a small piece of paper and wrote: Team #1. Jiten Shiori 2. Grimace Ome 3. Nita Kyota

 Asuka didn't mind his hair being played with and simply smiled when Fushou accepted his offer. The cloud genin was actually quite relieved, this kid seemed like the only sane person in the room that he'd met so far. "Alright kid, glad to have you on my team." Asuka began to look around the room at the candidates that had yet to team themselves up. He looked back at Fushou. "Who do you think we should ask for our third teammate? I haven't exactly had the best luck with people today. You seem to be the only person here without an inflatable ego that I've talked to."

 Shiori nodded when Grimace agreed to join their prospective team. Whether they would remain on that team or not, only the proctor knew, but for now, their task had been accomplished. When Grimace referred to the other man from Hidden Shrine as God, however, she paused. He was really claiming to be God? How audacious. That being said, there was a certain poetic irony to her likely being set against the man who would be God. Her, of the Gami clan, whose wings resembled that of an angel. Yes, ironic indeed. But enough of that, she should be preparing for what may soon be set against her and her team, not worrying about others. She pulled out her sheet of paper and updated the short list that described her hopeful team. Team #1. Grimace Ome 2. Nita Kyota 3. Jiten Shiori

 While awaiting a response from Fushou, Asuka pulled out the rules of this stage of the exam from his pocket and went over them one more time to make sure he was doing this right. Something strange caught the cloud genin's eye however. "Ummm... did anyone else notice that one of the rules of this stage of the exam is that nobody can be left out? Does that mean we have to make sure that everyone in the room is on a team? What if that doesn't happen? Do we all fail?" Asuka started becoming rather nervous since there were people in the room had had not even talked yet let alone looked for team members.
