 Gather around shinobi of Kiri and enjoy the Memorial festival of lights! Each lantern represents a memorial for lost loved ones, friends of the village, and there's even a special lantern display in the middle of it all for fallen shinobi. So bring your own and hang your lanterns to commemorate those you lost and love. Each clan will have a special dedication center for only their entry so they can remember in peace their loved ones. Every night there will be a light display of fireworks until the large one on Monday night for all to see. During the day countless stands, performances, and people will be around to have fun. So put down your kunai, and pick up a lantern and your best kimono for the festival. On the final night, we will hold a ceremony to wish all the genin luck in the tournament to begin on Tuesday.

"Shoot out all the lights. Hold your ground, we'll hit the sky..." xxxxIt took Karis nearly an hour to be ready, preening her hair, makeup, and clothes twice before leaving home and making her way to where flocks of Kiri citizens were gathering in the center of the village. Everyone and their brother seemed to have gotten dressed up for the festival, bringing along lanterns, ornamental fans, candles, and incense to burn to honor those who had fallen. Women were wearing their hair twisted into elaborate designs, yards of pure silk wrapped around them in heirloom kimono, hair ornaments and jewelry glittering in the nighttime light. Children shrieked with happiness, dashing about as Karis entered the center of the village, her solitary lantern the only one standing in the Hyuuga clan‘s specified dedication area. The post she stuck deep in the ground was the only one in the plot, holding two lanterns aloft to burn until they could do so no longer. One lantern was for her sister, whom she believed had passed on to the afterlife. The other lantern, however, was for herself, or rather, her old self. By keeping a lantern there to honor the passing of her old alias, Sayuri, she was learning from her past.xxxx”Gomenasai, my sister. I hope you find strength wherever you are.” Her whisper was almost inaudible as she sat on a low stone wall that wound its way around a complex, tilting her head back to watch the sky as a single shooting star streaked its way across the inky darkness. She sighed, completely content, as the moon cast the palest of light onto her face. It caressed her features, highlighting her creamy pale skin, her aquamarine eyes, her long reddish waves pulled back away from her face. Now there was only one thing that would make this night absolutely perfect."It's time you aim your arrows high."

LT walked out of a stall with his arms filled with lanterns, it was a sad thought that he had lost so many friends. But he enjoyed making the lanterns. "Goodbye LT!" Some kids cheered and waved at the Jonin as he left a stall, a group of kids ran past him, a few giving him hugs. He chuckled and bid the kids farewell, then he instantly dropped in his tracks as he saw a beautiful girl with pink hair and a gorgeous girl sitting on a low stone wall. So being the flirt he was, he had to approach her, "Happy Days of Memory Karis." he smiled to her under his kakashi like mask as he hung three lanterns in the dedicated area for the Hyuuga. His three headbands floated on a angelic wind as if thanking him for his gift of lanterns. "May I be the first to say, you look beautiful." Just as he finished speaking several huge fireworks exploded in the sky, lighting up the area with blues, greens, purples, and reds.

Sparrow sprinted through the crowd as fast as her kimono would allow her. There were so many stands and displays that she had to see, festivals like this were her favorite. She loves the colors as fireworks filled the sky, and firecrackers popped on the ground and on strands. The smells filled her nose and made her mouth water. "So many things to do!" She squealed as she took off down the streets.

"So beautiful.."
Tsukiakari walked into the festival, carrying a lantern in her hand. She had gotten fully prepared for this, hair, nails, everything was done: just for tonight. After all, it was a special night. This gave Tsukiakari every right to dress up, and as she could see, most other women here took it the same way as they were dressed up, too.
The stands were amazing, and in amount, endless. But right now, she needed to find her clan area, where she can put her lantern in memory of her grandfather.

Tactical: (-3 posts for learning jutsu, reaction speed is one rank higher)
Speed: (Move, dodge, and attack speed is one rank higher, hard for anyone below Jounnin to even track these ninja) Downer landed heavily from his fall off of the Mizukage's tower. He'd slowed the fall significantly by grabbing on to any that resembled a handhold on the building, but he still felt the impact in his bones. Shaking it off, he walked towards the nearest stall and confirmed that this was indeed the festival of memory. Some rapid spending later, he'd donned on a brown outfit reminiscent of the brown cloak his father used to wear when fishing. Old man.... he thought sentimentally. He walked over to a few of the stalls and picked up materials to build his lantern. Than he walked over to a tree and sat down at the base. It was there he sat, completely focused on his lantern and the memories it would contain (( ))

"We are the culmination of every choice we have ever made..." As Kaizen walked into the town square, a lantern held in each hand, the young man was smiling softly to himself, his stark-white eyes staring straight ahead. Coming up to the great tree in the middle of the square, the three where many other orphans were hanging the lantern's dedicated to their parents, Kaizen looked down at the two lanterns he held. "Thank you both... for everything you've done for me. I only hope that I can make you as proud of me, as I am of you. Thank you.", Kaizen's words were soft as he spoke, his eyes brimming with tears, and a small smile on his face. Kissing each lantern before he hung them in the tree, Kaizen took a step back and simply stared at the two of them, shining bright against the darkness."... but sometimes, the right choice isn't always clear."

Tactical: (-3 posts for learning jutsu, reaction speed is one rank higher)
Speed: (Move, dodge, and attack speed is one rank higher, hard for anyone below Jounnin to even track these ninja) Downer finished his lantern, making sure to put his family crest on it. It was the image of a fish about to eat a fishing rod whole. It represented the idea that man is not the greatest. It embodied the saying that 'there is always a bigger fish'. He thought about the Monster inside of him. I'll be the bigger fish, buddy. He thought, fully aware that turtles were reptiles. He jumped into the air and skillfully looped lantern to one of the higher branches like he'd seen someone else do. Don't worry old man....I'll make you proud He thought determinedly. When he landed, he walked over to the man he'd seen putting lanterns up and murmured "Hey. I remember you. You taught me my first Jutsu. He said, referring to the moments before a large zombie attack that had happened a while back. "When did you get back?" (( ))

Sparrow slowed as she saw some one she recognized by the tree the orphans used to hang their lanterns. She couldn't figure out how that tree hadn't caught on fire but it never did. She slowed down to a walk to catch her breath and approached Damien and his friend slowly. "Happy Days of memory Damien-san. I um er read your files while training with LT-sensei and I made this for you and your dad." She squeak as her beautiful figure held out a small yellow lantern for him to accept. "I look forward to our all-out brawl tomorrow." She giggled giving him a thumbs up.

Infinite One Master| Mist ANBU Captain| Jonin Commander| Lightning Terror |Bloody Mist LT give a slight bow and nod before he turned in the busy street and walked to the next designated area of a clan, if anyone was watching he hung a lantern or two and was immediately caught in a conversation with some of the clansmen and he was welcomed as if one of theirs. This would happen through out most of the night with most of the clan's of mist, he paused shortly at each gathering of people, whom offered him various sorts of food and drinks. Most commonly ricewine. After visiting almost every stand, LT's big bag of lanterns was dwindling to a select few. Finally he made his way to the biggest part of the street and put the rest of his lanterns out and let the various kiri children lite the rest of the for him. It was those select few lanterns that were the ones which floated due to the heat of the candle inside. Slowly but surely his lanterns made there way into the sky, seemly to float there for a minute as if beckoning the Jonin to follow.

"We are the culmination of every choice we have ever made..."While Kaizen looked at the great tree, many hundreds of lamps burning brightly amongst its boughs, he was interrupted from his reverie by a voice he remembered from long ago. Turning to face the man, Kaizen smiled somberly at the man before bowing slightly and saying, "I only just returned this afternoon actually, I didn't want to miss the festival, after all, if I'm not here to honor the memory of my parents who will." As Kaizen spoke to Downer, Aikou appeared from behind the tree before sitting down next to Kai and looked up at Downer, the wolf's too-intelligent ocher eyes studying the older man intensely."May I ask who your lantern is for, Damien?", Kaizen asked as he placed a hand on the wolf's head reassuringly. As he spoke he noticed a young girl walking up to the pair, holding a lantern, but not in the cherished way those that had lost someone often did. As the girl spoke to the man, the nature of his Lantern became apparent. Seeing that Downer now had another person to talk to, Kaizen took the opportunity to walk away, there were people he needed to go see. Walking away down the street, Aikou following quickly at his heel, Kaizen began humming absentmindedly to himself, a tune only half-remembered, a sound reminiscent of leaves floating upon the wind."... but sometimes, the right choice isn't always clear."

He caught the young man at a good time while the rest of LT's lanterns were being lit by children or were floating up into the sky. The Jonin straighten up off the street while he gathered up the bag which held the lanterns. he held a smile under his kakashi like mask and he couldn't believe how much taller the boy had grown since he had seen him last.

"We are the culmination of every choice we have ever made..."Walking aimlessly down the street, Kaizen saw a large number of children releasing lamps into the night sky. Stopping for a moment, Kai watched contentedly as the lamps filled the night sky, like so many stars rising from Kiri to join their brethren in the heavens. Perhaps that's where his parents were now, where all of those that had fallen were, living amongst the stars, shining brightly for all to see. It was a pleasant thought. Bringing his gaze back down to earth, Kaizen spotted a familiar face. Lips curling into a broad smile, Kaizen walked over to LT and placed a hand on the man's shoulder before saying in a jovial time, "LT-sensei, it's been a long time! I trust that you've been taking care of the new generation of genin?""... but sometimes, the right choice isn't always clear."

"By taking care of, you mean by kicking their scrawny little butts, then yes." LT laughed as he reunited with one of his most memorable students. "This new bunch of Genin are definitely a hand full to be sure. How are you? I haven't heard much of you in quite some time, seems like you have grown a foot since then. More powerful too, no doubt." LT put his hand out to try and measure the height he thought Kaizen use to be.

"We are the culmination of every choice we have ever made..."Laughing lightly, Kaizen shook his head as he remembered his first day with LT, how he had made him and Yamatano run all over the village. Unless he missed his guess, the new genin were probably just as exhausted there first day as he was. "I've been well, for the most part. There were a few things I had to work out for myself after the Chuunin exams, but I'm back and ready to serve Kiri once more. As for my height, well...", Kaizen grinned broadly as he placed his hand atop LT's and lowered it another half-foot, "I've grown quite a bit.""... but sometimes, the right choice isn't always clear."
