Yukikage Inaguration Event

---

As if seemingly out of nowhere a large influx of Yukigakure citizens, and even some traveling visitors from Yomazu, would seem to be flocking to the Grand Museum Plaza. Countless numbers of groupings were chattering and moving about to go towards what seemed to be a village wide event of somekind. From most parts of the village music could be heard, revealing that of a music festival. The atmosphere within Yukigakure after so many years of silence and pain, has been unbroken entirely. For those that didn't want to go, some of the local diners were displaying the event on monitors within their businesses. A wide variety of personnel of all types came through to see what was going on. Some of these people were even of the Old Age. Still probably dawning their fur pelts, and battle scars. While some of the new blood were scattered around in the mix.

Entrance:

Eventually for those curious enough to follow the music and plethora of moving villagers, they would come across the entrance of the museum. A wide spread out series of arching pillars connected together, had colorful banners and balloons decorating its front and back end welcoming all that were there. From here a few Yukigakure Shinobi and Kunoichi would be stationed as greeters wherein ceremonial robes over their usual attire. Most saying a somewhat rehersed phrase: "Hello, welcome to the New Age! Enjoy the festival."

However on the tops of the buildings and the two guard towers located on each end of the entrance gates, there would be AnBu guards places strategically to keep watch over the many faces and people coming in to the open area. Making it through the gates would be a slight wait considering the amount of people wanting entry, however for this exact occasion there were enough personnel placed to make sure all the lines keep pace. Once through there would be plenty of place to go in various directions, leading to various landmarks within the festival like event.

Statue Mural:

Off to the right there would be the iconic set of statues and murals depicting of the great history of Yukigakure, and Yuki no Kuni alike. While most of the artifacts and lore is located in the Grand Museum itself, this whole area alone is dedicated to paying respects and making tributes to those the village will remember for their sacrifices, deeds, and memories. Of course besides artistic eye candy the most famous piece would be the ever expanding Statue of Kages. Here there would be towering statues of all the dignified kages to date, from left to right oldest to newest. The very last and newest one of course being of Lord Cold himself: Ace Debutler Onta.

Open Music Plaza



Food Court:

However historics weren't the only thing here. Besides a park for the youth of Yukigakure to play and run wild, the culinary pleasures of food and drinks would be stationed up nicely within a large food court more on the left side around the edge of the entire festival ground. Here those that wish to can dine and relax all they want, free to enjoy the music from a distance or have chats with friends. And of course the ever famous ice cream man with his wagon of chilled desserts had a station of his own to serve those that had a sweet tooth.

Grand Stage:

Last of the places to see and yet the most decorated, would be the Grand Museum itself, seemingly turned into a giant stage. However despite this not many people were here. At least nobody regular. The only people here were AnBu, Yukigakure Shinobi, Legendary Warlords of Old, and then of course the most notorious business woman around Lana DeThorne. All the normal people were busy enjoying themselves minus a select few whom have tried to weed out information on what is truly going on, only to leave empty handed. Nobody here even the Warlords seemed to give up the big surprise. Which can only narrow down some obvious answers as it what is happening today...

[Jotün Kamyuja]

/Enter

There was the common hustle and bustle of people as the golden-haired boy strolled absentmindedly through the streets of Yukigakure, he dressed in his usual attire with mostly black clothes covered by a red robe, his Greatsword sheathed at his side, and his shield strapped to his back. Following not far behind him would be Theo, a dog of small proportions with blue eyes and fluffy fur as white as snow, the cheerful pup had a knack for wandering off and getting into trouble, so Jotün had to look behind him every few minutes to make sure he was still there.

The boy nodded to the Kunoichi who welcomed him to the event, and continued to make his way towards the Grand Plaza, there where so many magnificent constructs, every one of them was quite the sight to see, he appreciated this but unlike most of the attendants cared more for the historical value, there didn't seem to be many people here just yet, so he simply shrugged and made his way to the Grand Museum, surely there was something interesting to see there until the Main event got underway.

(Sorry for the shitty post, been rather tired and unable to focus lately)

The fog of wind that made up the body for this chuunin of snow was cutting through the air. Zeitol's scirocco body was splayed in it's cloud form before it came down and the ghostly figure began to take form and transform into the humanoid form he usually took. The red hair, the silky white cloth, and the golden decorum would appear on this figuere. The streets were bustling and busy, visitors, citizens, officials, and other shinobi, it was time for the inauguration of the new kagé.

The beautiful ice sculptures and carvings decorated street corners and buildings. It was all the little details that would catch this crafters eye, being an individual who made fine jewelry, the detail was always important. As he made his way through, people had a few funny looks towards him as he floated over the snow, each foot step not leaving a single mark. As he made his way through the festivities towards the Grand museum, the centre stage of everything going on.

[Grace Period is over. I am starting the thread officially and so any one joining in afterwards will have to include themselves in somehow by other means.]

---

The parade took over this district with full force which should come quote obvious to many people whom are used to the rather quiet streets of Yukigakure. The gates were crowded, but manageable if one knew how to navigate amongst a sea of people all wanting to get through the same place. It had been years since this snowcapped village has ever thrown an event of any scale let alone one of this size. Thus for many people they may seem overwhelmed by the sudden spark of life from nearly everyone attending. It's almost as if the village hasn't been left dormant for far too long.

Regardless Takeshi and his canine companion will find that their surroundings had become far less compact, once they were passed the gate. Nobody showing major caution towards them as they did. So, once through Takeshi and Theo would have no real problems making it to the Grand Museum. When they arrive at its widespread steps, they will have a very clear view of most of the people spread out evenly on top of the staircase leading to the museum's large and old front doors.

This area in fact had the least amount of people as mostly Shinobi, officials, and anyone else of notable reputations were here seemingly either chatting or observing the parade as it carries on.

In the middle of the Grand Museum's base stage would be Lana DeThorne, whom was busy jotting down something on notepad which is probably usual for someone like her. Around her would be multiple warlords of the olden days, in a section all on their own. Most of them sharing good laughs with each other and the other barbarians and warriors that had came by for the parade. Scattered around in various places were normal Yukigakure Shinobi and Kunoichi that all mostly seemed to be busy making sure everything was running smoothly in between enjoying themselves like all the other patrons. The only people whom only seemed to be out of the loop were the various AnBu posted up as sentries to keep watch.

In which it lives the question for Takeshi to ask. What shall they do? Right now the parade looks to be a neutral state as the true event of the day hasn't seemed to have begun. The aroma of food, and booming sounds of the parade music filled the atmosphere meshed in with the sounds of the various people having a good time especially on the supplied dance floor in the center of the area. Perhaps there is nothing to look into just yet? Perhaps right now it's time to party!

From Zietol's angle on things they should more or less be the same. His arrival although different from all the people simply gaining access via the gates, he would manage to enter relatively unhindered. AnBu from their various perches noticed the Scirocco's presence and despite the unprohibited entry they saw no need to interfere. He'd simply show up and receive looks from people a little peeves that he got to cut in line. However knowing that he was a village Shinobi of some sort they wouldn't confront him about it.

When he made his way towards the Museum it would be more or less around the same time that Takeshi and his dog Theo around albiet a minute or two afterwards. However due to his background in the shinobi world regarding the village he would notice that the shinobi present that were running the simple festivities were mostly old generation ninja. At least those that still held themselves under Yukigakure's banner. Most of these guys were already past their prime, but more or less Jounin or high level Chuunin. All the genin and recent chuunin such as himself were seemingly tasked to assist them. It's safe to assume that everyone was on high alert. Afterall why have Shinobi pose as normal event runners??

The answer can be figured out in multiple ways. However once he made his way near the Grand Stage, he'd actually catch Lana's eye. Seeing the recognizable Scirocco made her momentarily stop her fast paced writing, in favor of getting his attention. It was only then that she also noticed Takeshi and his canine.

With a subtle gesture she would attempt to call the both of them over...

[🔥Bootysmith🍑]

Several hours passed without his other half returning with the weed like he promised. Looking inside his box he found only two joints remaining, they weren't enough to last him an hour and so he decided to go for a stroll around the village in search of a dealer, and also with hopes of running into his other half. To accommodate the weather conditions of the current environment he dressed in an unbuttoned dark purple fur-collared leather and fur trenchcoat, black cargo pants and black chuck Taylor's boots. He wore his black hair in a long ponytail, which left all his facial features exposed. Believing that he would roam the streets for only a few seconds and then head back as soon as he gets the marijuana, he felt no need to bring his ninja tools with him.

Having no sense of direction in the foreign land, TEviO followed the masses of people who seemed to be headed in the same direction. He didn't walk for long before his ears began picking up sounds of melodies. Some sort of ceremony? he thought to himself. Following the sounds and flock of people, it didn't take long before arriving at the source of all the commotion in the village. He walked passed the cheerful crowd who welcomed him without uttering a word nor giving them a second look. Curious to know what the fuss was about, he headed towards the grand museum as it seemed to be the centre stage of it all.

[Claws of the Tundra]

The beckoned shinobi didn't seem to respond when called over, so Lana didn't bother them. She was far too busy, maintaining a watchful eye over the festival grounds with various teams of AnBu personnel doing their assigned duty of keeping guard. The people of the village seemed to be so happy here it is almost a shame that this gathering was only for today.

Perhaps arrangements for another could be placed, but for the most part this was it. Regardless of that detail, the festival is a sight for sore eyes for an overwhelming abundance of residents in Yukigakure. Something this beautiful could wake up the most lost of souls, and that is so far being proven. A simple gaze over all the smiling faces is evidence enough.

Behind the scenes the festival, is a bit of a stressful time for some. With this many people roaming the streets, and exposing themselves to the outside world its very easy for some chaos to be started out of nowhere. The security teams had their hands full this evening. Though with her trust embedded in the Anbu and Standard Ninja of the village Lana DeThorne pressed on with other matters.

With a simple pivot of her right heel, she'd turn her entire body around and begin her trip towards the front doors of the Grand Museum that was being borrowed as a stage for the event. Lana's black flat shoes hardly clicked on the icy pavement as she walked. Her strides were practiced, and done in a solid fashion. The grace of her movement came naturally as she hardly had to think in order to be formally presentable. Anyone that may have been wrapped up in conversation or passing by, quietly moved out of the way then resumed what they were doing prior. The Princess of the DeThorne family hardly had much trouble navigating through high traffic places because of this.

In due time, Lana would reach and enter the old prestigious building. The sudden switch of atmosphere always filled once nose with a distant aged, but pleasant smell when they enter this building. A scent that exists in only a few places within Yukigakure anymore. Lana always liked that smell...

For once in about a week and a half the occasionally high maintenance Lana, actually smiled from something as small as a fragrance. As a few eyes from the faculty turned towards her, Lana's own deep crimson orbs gazed around the main lobby of the museum. In here were a few other notable personnel, but most of which were simple employees of the building enjoying the festival from afar as they worked.

Though finally within the crowd of people one person in particular actually made their way over towards Princess Dethorne. Her blissful state of satisfaction now faded as her formal persona came right back into the picture, killing of her little smile. This person was Captain Tiano of the Falcon Division. An somewhat tall, athletic shinobi who's skill with a knife is as famous as is his terrible jokes. This charismatic being is unorthodox as far as AnBu shinobi go, but he is a well decorated captain who has earned every bit of recognition both good and bad.

His walk up to Lana was short, and once within range he didn't waste time in starting up their conversation. His falcon mask hardly muffling his southern-like, in the fields type voice. "Hello there princess I'm glad you are here. You look good today; in a fantastic mood? Never mind that I'll get to the point. Now, now don't you worry about a thing it is nothing bad. Yours truly has made sure I kept my end of the deal up like always. . . I uh-...just need you to help me wrangle up the soon-to-be kage hiding upstairs, and convince her to put on that terrible- I mean perfect outfit you picked out for her." He'd explain in a whimsical fashion.
