Ssssssssssssss~
The contents of the vial sizzled and hissed as it became more exposed to the elements. It was like acid, only the corrosive properties would only effect the human body- Not the wall in which it was spilled on.
The spilled liquid did nothing further, for it was a silent killer. And just as if it were on cue the contestants started dropping like dead leaves. The stench of the poison became so potent, just being in the same room put you at risk. Though before you could even register what was happening, the poison had already infected your body.
Your body is shutting down.

 Yasuhiro Uchiha
Yasuhiro had been watching the room silently, using the time to learn what he could about the other contestants. It didn't really seem to be getting him anywhere though. In fact in the past hour he had learned nothing more then what he already knew. Haruki was crazy, takeo liked fire a little too much, Serene hated clothes, and sessouressu hated everything else.
However his attention was drawn to a small event between Haruki, koto, and two other people he didn't recognize. Seemed something was about to happen. The question was what? Looking around at the others in the area he sighed closing his eyes and taking a deep breath... then stopped.
The air is stale in here now, whats going on... He thought looking at the newcomer with the gas mask. A horrifying thought crossed his mind but he didn't want to believe it. However as soon as he saw the vial enter the woman's hand his thoughts were confirmed and he immediately brought his scarf up over his mouth and nose.
Crash!
The vial struck the wall and began to sizzle, genin falling to the ground around him in rapid succession. He pressed the scarf tighter to his mouth to try and stem off the poison as he stood up looking around at the others. Drawing his sword with his free hand he looked around waiting to see what would happen next. However he could feel his body becoming sluggish already. This poison was powerful...
His hand let go of the sword as he fell to one knee. "W-whats going on..." he said in a ragged voice trying to stand up again. However he found he couldn't, losing control of his legs all together he fell to the floor. He focused instead on the scarf over his mouth and the arm holding it in place. He had already been able to last longer then most of the genin near him so his little trick was working to at least some extent. However it wasn't enough and he could feel himself drifting away into darkness. Am I going to die here? Without even becoming a ninja? How cruel... father... mother... yui...
"I'm sorry"

  Sharingan, One Tomoe: ActiveThe Stranger watched as the glass smashed, within seconds genin began to drop like flies. Upon closer inspection with aid of his Sharingan the serpentine hiss seemed to be emanating from the rapidly dissolving liquid from the bottle. He racked his brain as he tried to piece together at an alarmingly fast paced rate. "Let us see here. Well we have ourselves a liquid, dissolving into what appears to be an odorless gas." A smile stretched across his face with a devilish gleam that was only visible through his eyes."Oh Hebi, you and your play thing will have to do so much better than tha--Grrnk!"There was a moment where his heart beat so hard, speaking a beat, and following the next where he felt as if his chest would seize. It caused him to stagger, taking a large step forward bent at the knee so he would maintain being upright. His breathing became ragged as the effect of the toxin coursed through his respiratory system and into his bloodstream. He started to stand up tall, almost falling backwards, yet holding a painfully strained looking position, akin to a marionette when the back gives out and the arms dangle lifelessly behind the figure.
He choked out a laugh that turned into a cackle. He realized this gas must be absorbed through the skin, since his masks re-breather offered him little to know protection. It merely delayed his fall for a few seconds more than the other ninja in the hallway. Backing into the wall with a grunt and followed my a groan that sounded more like mewling, if he just gave into the death that was following his own stupidity for staying in a sectioned off hallway, it would be easier. However, the Stranger was determined if he was to die he would die on his time, dragging it out as long as possible.
Slowly sagging down the hallway wall, to his a crouch, that collapsed onto his knees he simply would NOT fall. He laughed again, only this time his labored breathing all but smothered the sound. He decided to make a statement, this certainly felt like the end."Well, ha- ha- I guesss.. I-I spoke to sssoon.. Ha- ha- guess that makes us ha- ha- even now... eh, Hebi?"With that he fell forward onto his face, the mask not even chipping smashed against his face. The pain was excruciating and to make matters worse he still wasn't quite out, slowly forcing his head up to get one last look at Senri's chakra inhabiting Karoshi he noticed his vision was blurring in and out. First the color of what eyes could see, then the color of the chakra he could see around him. The last thing he did see with clarity was Karoshi's Senri's eye. Finally the numb swallowed him, his eyes slowly smoldered back to the obsidian orbs the Stranger displayed, before his head lolled to unconsciousness.

Uchiha Koto
"Your first cut..."
"Haru!" Koto exclaimed. He turned his gaze to the other Genin in the room dropping like flies...
"No..." he said silently to himself...
All at once it hit him...the placement of the Jounin, this rooms function as a holding area between tests...
Was this the fourth round? Was his clan murdering their own simply to find the "pick of the litter"?!
He looked to Umbra...if this was a test was she simply a proctor in disguise? She dispersed the poison so it was possible she had the antidote... or at least knew where to find it... He'd have to start with her...
He approached her with purpose. Once he was arms length away from her he simply stared her in the eyes... there was no anger, no shock... not vengeance or bravado stirred the blackness of those eyes upon umbra.
"If you have the antidote relinquish it...if you don't then tell me who does...if you refuse to do either then simpy draw your blades now...as anything else you have to say means nothing while my kin are dying..." he said in a tone so lifeless it did not sound anything like the koto that his comrades and come to know. There was a cold and mature finality to his words. He had no intention of trading words. he had laid down his terms and anything other that that would simply mean bloodshed...
While he was not being affected so strongly...he knew it was only a matter of time before the symptoms of this toxin began to impair him too severely...

 "Let no good deed go unpunished,"Umbra Uchiha Umbra watched with her usual stoic silence as she watched the genin start to drop like flies when the toxin was released into the air. She was… actually kind of disappointed that there wasn’t something more theatrical when the vial hit the wall, she was expecting some sort of mini explosion as the chemicals were mixed into the air around it… it was the reason that she tossed it against the wall instead of at her feet. Oh well, maybe next time Senri would have something like that to accommodate her amusement for the next time. Umbra’s eyes moved slowly across the room, watching for any sorts of movement, which was quickly discovered when Koto was pushing off with his foot. He wasn’t affected? Interesting, she turned partly towards the boy who ‘meant business’ as he approached her. She rolled her eyes a little slowly towards him as he started to make his demands. How sad… he thought that violence was the only way to get what he needed, he was quick to violence when perhaps tact and subtly were needed. He was probably one of the ones that was responsible for the tensions between the Uzumaki clan and their own. Umbra slowly shifted and fully faced the boy. His demands were met with both stone silence and an dull, unamused look in her eyes. Umbra had no answers for him, she didn’t know whom had an antidote, or even if there was an antidote at all. She certainly didn’t have it… well, she was given it, but that was about all.
Umbra didn’t bother drawing her blades either, she saw no point or purpose to this demand. He wasn’t going to get any information here, nor was he going to survive for long if she drew her blades. If not from her blades and her skills alone then the advantage of the poison would tip things in her favour. She never allowed a third mistake, she warned him of this, and if he attacked her now then she would kill him for such transgression. If he thought that she was a push over, then he had another thing coming, she may not the experience that he did or the list of jutsu, but she was confident enough of her skills that she could hold her own against him. With no response and thus no answers for Koto, nor was there any aggression to fill his own, the ball was in his court, would he be able to dismiss his honour so quickly as to attack someone – a young woman mind you- who hasn’t drawn her weapons. Or would he simply just wait for his fate and the fates of those around him so that the fourth and final round could draw near and finish?"Let no evil deed go unrewarded."

Uchiha Koto
"Your first cut..."
Her lack of response at first made him wonder if she was daring him to attack her...then she crossed her arms... the subtle things about her now spoke to him... In telling him nothing she had told him some of what he wanted to know... She didn't have too much detail...she wasn't the mastermind.
"Just a pawn then..." he said and immediately turned his back to her. he tried to think while tried to figure out...he could feel the poison's taint within him...the discomfort was begining to muddle his thoughts...
It didn't seem to hit him as hard as the other genin...he was suddenly brought back to his "encounter" with Senri... her words before the exam...this is what she must've meant by a resistance to toxins...
His thoughts of Senri led him to another thread... Karoshi... Haruki acted as though Karoshi was senri in some sort of disguise...she's shrewd enough to have an antidote in her system already...or use a proxy to avoid suspicion...
Koto turned his attention to Karoshi he remembered the lack of body heat and his joke about it being a corpse...
He also remembered Umbra's "scuffle" with Karoshi earlier something about putting something...in her...
"Thank you for the information..." he said casting a glance back at umbra.... He had a new target now...
He made his way to Karoshi....

"Bitterness is a Cancer, It eats Upon the host..."
(This post Will span over a good deal of time, so remember that and do your best to pay no mind the to butchering of Space and Time that is going on due to this )
It wasn't long before Peanut walked back into holding area; and seeing as how he was the last person to have been called in; it was clear that the next person would in fact be him. So as the Jounin walked up to him the boy simply stood and walked past the man before he could say anything. "Do you accept this challenge, blah blah blah; I know" He said as he walked out of the area and entered the new training area.
However unlike the other test's Sessouresu was only in the other room for a few minutes; long enough for the encounters between the others to escalate slightly but nothing to majorly (Meaning the poison had yet to be released). Though there was something.... off about the boy; while he looked mad as he always seemed to, this was different.... it was more.... livid; god have mercy on whoever spoke to him next; which just so happened to be some poor Genin from another class. "Whoa, that didn't take long what ha-" That was all the boy managed to get out before Sessou's Boots nailed the poor boy square in the teeth; sending blood and bits of tooth in every direction. "I took the ******** Red queen" The boy snapped at the boy as he literally walked over the boy, making sure to stomp directly in the center of the boy's chest as he did so. Making his way back to the chair that he had been sitting in before he had been taken in the other room, if vibes could take physical form, the chair he was sitting on would surly burst into flames.
Sessouresu didn't really pay mind to the Conflict between Koto and the Masked Genin; nor the Boy wearing a gas mask. It wasn't long before the others started to drop like Fly's only himself and Koto really staying awake much longer than a few seconds. "Koto, stop being such a little b***h" The boy said sourly. "It's part of the exam so there is no ******** fighting it, seeing as how it wasn't part of the exam the Jounin would have already slit these two's throats and reduced them to ash" He said bluntly to the boy. The poison was starting to take effect on him so he didn't bother getting up from his chair as it took its course.

  Karoshi was a bit disappointed with the results of his work. He was sure something had gone wrong, but it was too late to go back and examine the problem. "Weird...I could have sworn it was supposed to....explode or something." He pouted, letting his arms drop to his sides, his head hung in disappointment. One would question just how seriously this guy took his job. If it was Senri...she sure as hell knew how to put on a facade. It was a strange transition between the two, but mind control would be a playing factor.
Just as Karoshi motioned to continue, he was interrupted by- guess. "Oh...you again. Your persistence irritates and astounds me." There was something between amusement and disgust deep in in his voice. "I am disappointed, Koto. You think me so low as to kill everybody off before the real test even starts....look closer, you fool...they are not dead....not yet. If you want the antidote...compete in the chunin exams." There was no kindness in his words despite the cordial nature in which it spoke. For the most part Karoshi did not bother with putting Koto down like the rest. He knew the poison would take Koto soon.
Without tearing his gaze from Koto, he spoke to his partner in crime with a flick of his wrist, gesturing towards nothing in particular. "Umbra, check and make sure they are all unconscious and accounted for....We will be placing the contestants in their designated coffins," The voice was methodical, cold, and calculated, never talking quickly- taking his time with each word, forming each sentence with a great deal of mental deliberation, "But first...we must secure their....lives. Sylne will give you all the details on your next mission....slippery little creature hasn't even made a peep." A wicked smile split his lips as he choked back a few chuckles. The way his mood changed so drastically was a clear indicator that his mind was currently being run by multiple parties.

Uchiha Koto
"Your first cut..."
"Either the poison is also a hallucenigen or the runt made sense with a calm and rational argument while I tried to solve things with agression..." Koto said trying to calm himself down.
Sessouresu was right... Senri was a chunin like ijimeru...there was no reason to doubt that she could be the proctor for the next stage of the exams...even if she was using a proxy in the form of karoshi...
"Very well..." he said sitting down and calming himself. Getting worked up now would only cloud his judgement...and if Senri was indeed the next proctor...he would need his wits about him in order to survive.
"Sessouresu-kun..." he began...he made it a point not to call him runt this time... "There is something important I need to discuss with you after the exams...I'd wish you luck, but you don't need it." he said before closing his eyes
and letting the poison take effect....
Before he lost consciousness he muttered something...it seemed odd a first but "Karoshi" would know exactly what it meant...
"This reminds me...of a stolen kiss...on a lovely night..." he said as he slipped into unconsciousness.

 Character Theme: Rin Toshite Saku Hana no Gotoku Serene sat in one of the corners of the room, still quite peeved with the last test she had endured. A game? A stupid game that had nothing to do with her abilities, skill, or mentality as a ninja. She did understand how it was a sense of her tactical ability, but ones ability in a game was nothing like their ability in a true stressful situation. It also was quite unfair to expect her to be able to play a game she didn't even know the rules of... She pretty much made herself look like an idiot in that test, and while she didn't really care how others perceived her, she didn't like when she herself felt like an idiot...
The good thing however was she had gotten a new set of clothes out of it. It had been pretty chilly walking around as she had been, her new gi was very similar to her old one. She had to make a conscious effort not to burn this one though... Investing in a flame-retardant one would probably be advisable in the future.
Serene wasn't involving herself with everyone else at the moment, she had been resting. She was certain that whatever the last test was going to be, it would be the most intense. She wanted to be ready for whatever it would be, she had already came close to death fighting Haruki, she didn't want another situation like that. That was, however, when she heard a vial crash against a wall. Serene turned to lok, wondering exactly what was going on. She barely got to take a note of everyone who was in the area before she began to feel...faint...
Serene started seeing some of the people closer to the point of impact falling to the ground. She quickly looked around and noticed that the jonin were now outside of the entrances, keeping them in. The whole area was set up so none of them could escape. It had to be some kind of poison attack...their next test was...one of survival it seemed. This didn't bode well for Serene at all...whatever this poison was, she knew her own body was weaker than that of the actual Uchiha...the Aramori clan was never known for its fortitude. As the ones closer to the impact area were falling yet those around her had yet to fall, Serene could already feel her consciousness slipping... She tried to force herself to endure, but it was no use. She was one of the first on the floor, completely knocked out.

"Let no good deed go unpunished,"Umbra Uchiha Umbra looked over at Karoshi and a smirk entered her eyes in the form of a mischievous glint, she wouldn’t verbally acknowledge that she shared his disappointment at the lack of explosion that erupted from the vial when it hit the wall. She turned her attention back to the room at large, letting Karoshi deal with the temper tantuming Koto. It wasn’t too long before he finally succumb to the poison and hit the dirt too. So, she had to make sure that all those present were still alive did she? She supposed that the best way to do that would be with some haste. Umbra nodded at her partner in crime and began to follow her orders after everyone had hit the floor. She missed what Koto said to Senri’s double but as far as the black hearted woman was concerned, it was none of her business anyway. Umbra took careful inventory and count of those who were there and quickly. Umbra looked over her shoulder at Karoshi when she was finished and nodded her head to let him know that they were all here and accounted for. She started to space the bodies out so that they could work on them in relative comfort and get things done quickly. Slyne would give her orders of what to do and how to do them. As she was laying them out, Umbra was reaching behind her and pulling something out of one of her pouches and slipping it into their hands before closing their fists tightly and crossing their arms over their chest, if coffins were involved then by all means, they were going to need to more or less be in that position anyway. It would be easier to transport them this way. Hopefully the coffins weren’t going to be too far away. It would be a big pain in the a** to transport all of them miles to get to their stupid wooden boxes. Umbra showed no signs that this bothered her in anyway. Actually she looked rather comfortable burying people alive. All that was really left to do was listen to what Slyne needed to say and follow her commands."Let no evil deed go unrewarded."

 ~Feed the fire, break your vision~
Takeo had taken the time to rest easy after his scuffle. Rest and recover was important after all. As he leaned against the wall, he continued to watch the others with his Sharingan, figuring out any more secrets he could with them. He waved Serene over when she returned and chuckled at her explanation of the game. He found it was hilarious that she didn't understand chess, but even more that she just gave up trying to understand and did her own thing.
His vision picked up on the bottle thrown through the air and watched it fall and shatter, seeing the distortion of air that melted into the air. Great. Just what we needed. Either this is a plan of hers, but... He looked around the room and noticed the jounin guarding the doors. Nope, looks like this was planned. He shrugged and closed his eyes, giving into the sick feeling of sleep as the poison did its works.
~Throw your fists up, come with me!~

"Senri-chan has some ******** creepy a** stalkers, doesn't she? Not that I care...it's just amazing how idiotic this batch of genin are." He mumbled offhandedly. There was a great amount of deep animosity when he spoke of the genin. Perhaps he greatly underestimated them, but that would be far from the truth. He just didn't agree with their ideals and despised how they clung to each other, wearing their hearts on their sleeves. It was pathetic- They were pathetic..
His attention ventured over to Umbra as she worked diligently. Part of him was curious about why she bothered positioning their arms, but he did admire a bit of originality. So he didn't really mind as much. He acted like a predator in waiting. Silently watching her prep the bodies. Once she had finished, he gave her a half-hearted smirk and cracked his neck. This was it. Everybody would most certainly suffer and be put through the most grueling test they had ever come across. Most would die, but only two would come out of this victoriously, and have the right to hold their head high. Senri could only hope they would learn from this experience. The true meaning of this test. Though, her hopes were far from high. She underestimated them because they have shown her countless times how stupid and powerless they were. These kids were useless, painfully useless. Idiots who could not perform the simplest task.
Without further delay Karoshi cracked his knuckles and slammed his fist into the ground. The sound of bones being broken was definitely a sign that he was not doing it to just show off. The ground seemed to groan and rumble a few moment before what looked like chains bursting out of the concrete floor. They shot outward and wrapped around each casket, securing the case and lifting them just enough to where Karoshi could access them without bending over.
The caskets were lined up in a row, each of them hung upwards as if they were in cocoons. The bottom doors were closed, while the top door that revealed their heads remained open. Karoshi strolled over to them and gave each one a once over before dragging them off. He made a point to confront Umbra before leaving with them. "There's something I need to do before we bury them. For now Sylne will be here to interpret Senri's orders. Good work by the way..."
(Gonna time skip- I'll open the thread for you guys soon, so keep an eye out. Raz, I'm going to PM you Sylne's directions and I guess you can respond and join the thread when it's open.)
404+1938 = 2342 COMPLETE!
