[E] Ane/Ace - 3

[Tieren]

Before lies a rather small, dark, and dank passageway, similar to how the first one was. This time, however, it was big enough for both parties to go through. As they continued on through the passage, the speakers spread throughout kicked on, and the voice of Mai Turino rang out once again.

"Welcome to the second and final stage. There are only two stages to this exam. If you pass this exam, you will be going back home, and your fate as Chuunin is decided on by the Kage of your village. However, you will have to show your teamwork in this exam. As stated in the last room, there is a leader and a follower. Part way through, we will switch that role. The starting leaders again are Tsuyu, Draven, Ane, Frieda, Kiyoshi, Oyushi, and Yoshinee. The rest of you are followers."

Just then, a similar large room to the last stage appeared. As promised, food and water were there to allow participants to replenish. There was also two discs that looked like the ones in the last stage. There were also two earpieces, yet only one black box.

"As stated before, the discs are for both parties, but if one uses it, the entire team fails. However, should one party member die, the other will not fail. The earpieces are for each of you. They both may deliver the same instructions, or different. However, I suggest you take them, as they are the only way to communicate with you directly, aside from speaking in front of you. The black box, however, is different. Only the current leader may hold the black box and use it. If the other teammate tries to use it, it will disappear, and will have no effect. So keep that in mind." She said. A door opened at the end of the room.

"Use this room to discuss your specializations. Nothing will come at you in this room. When both party members are ready, then step through the light and the simulation will begin. You will be graded just like you were in the last one, so act as though it is real, for if you act recklessly, you will fail." She stated to them all. The next step was up to them.

[OOC: So you may discuss with each other for as long as you'd like. As stated before, there is a 3 day IIC. The examiner will post once both parties have stepped into the light, or after one has, and 3 days has passed. Please keep to your posting order established by who posts first. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, PM me. If IIC's are not being met, PM me as well and I will take care of it.]

Dressed with her new style of dress, dark clothes; She has several layers on her person. First layer is fundoshi that is folded over the band at her wast and a second one for support for her chest. Next is the Han-juban which is white, that is the underwear and is long sleeves with a flowing to the slightly to below the waist. Next layer is the Gi which is the outdoor clothes which is rolled up and tucked into the belt. Then comes the hakama, which like the Gi is black and it has six pleats in the front. Its tied off with a white sash, and matching white socks. Then the straw sandals with is tied on to the ankle. 

Armed with her butt bag, which was on her right hip with the following items, small scroll, smoke grenade, 4 Kunai, 60 Hira-Shuriken, 30 Makibishi, stun grenade, 15 Darts, smoke grenade, wireless radio and a single slot to spare. Tied to her side on the shash was her pair of 8 inch sliver sharp Katars. On her other side sits an smaller butt bag with a compass in it, it was merely empty besides that one item.

Ane entered the passage way again, hopefully with her counterpart following her, she spoke not a word until she was in front of the table before she would pick up the earpiece and place it in her ear and picking up the black cube, she would place it in her buttbag that wasn’t full. She felt like taking the disk when she hadn't touched like last time would prove to be a unwanted item for herself. If she died, she died. she stood there, not moving to the door as she wanted to talk to the one that she was to be leading. She would finally turn to her counterpart and spoke if he was with her, her eyes were cool, and calm as she spoke softly in almost monotone voice to him, to allow him to take it at word value,

"I am Ane, as you might have figured out, I mostly know Ice release, and Water release based attacking as my skills. Hopefully, we can work together to get through this without failing. I am not taking a disk, as I didn’t take it the last time, for me, this is a test if I die, I failed in my role for my village."

She finally give a small glint of feelings as she smiled at Ace if he was there. Surprisingly a lot of stone people mostly followed in the earth release, but Ane never touched on the release even though she could mold the earth release, the rawness of earth was not of her taste. The fineness of ice though, out weighed all of the releases for Ane.

The light from the familiar room slithered through the doorway as Ace entered the room. Light blue eyes glistened with unflinching confidence while his polite and proud smirk remained upon his lips. His eyes glanced at his wrists and hip leading to the right outside part of his left leg slightly above his ankle. The faint light brushed against the Hachidaime Yukikage's dark brown dress pants complimenting the bright brown vest on the card enchanter's upper body. Revealed in the center was the Knave of Heart's white dress shirt allowing the red cloth gently tied around his neck to illustrate its bright and elegant color. Shimmering with elegant ferocity was the red velvet cloth gently tied around the red leg master's left leg. His signature white gloves remained to be gently worn on his delicate hands stitched upon the left was his metal plate signalizing his village in all of its glory.

Despite such a glamorous and elegant outfit Ace worn deadly tools. Beginning the list was 2 card holsters 1 gently strapped upon each wrist. Next was the 6 card containers 3 on each hip before the list of these very important paper user tools ending with a single card holster gently strapped slightly above his left ankle on his left powerful leg. Each of these 9 deceptive weapons holsters contained 220 cards except for the ones upon the chivalrous gamblers wrist, which had 165 for the left wrist holster and 160 for the right wrist holster. Also upon his hip near the right side of his leg was his buttbag , which contained 75 ice exploding tags. Finally attached to one of his dress pant pockets was his compass the chain glistening in the faint light.

Presuming that the woman was about to talk first the chivalrous gambler remained silent as she talked. Attentively and politely Ace listened to her words taking in all of the details. The Knave of Hearts nodded at her grim mind set about failing. He agreed with her point of view if one died doing their job they should do it proudly without any signs of being a coward. "indeed, that is a admirable view you have madam"[/b] he politely and softly said to her as his kind smile remained on his lips. "if such a fate befalls me that is an ending my wife could smile and spread the land about my bravery instead of surviving like a coward"[/b] the Yukikage said as his gentle and polite tone remained in his words as his proud smile widened slightly. Slithering out of his left card holster a single card fluttered out of its chamber before it twirled elegantly in front of it's master.

"Madam my chakra is well adapted to the elegant and deceptively powerful paper release"[/b] the card enchanter mentioned as the card continued to dance. "the defensive and offensive capabilities of this particular release shall protect you until my heart halt beating"[/b] he continued to inform more about the perks of the release. "if a more pugnacious approach must be applied my excellence in the art of red leg shall obliterate the monstrosities we may face"[/b] the red leg master mentioned as he briefly pointed at the red cloth tied around his left knee. Deciding that it would be polite to properly introduce oneself the chivalrous gambler took a few steps back before he bended his upper body forward. While this action was taking his left gloved hand gently placed itself over his left heart as his right arm laid against his lower back near his hips performing a gentle and fluent gentleman bow to the lady while the dancing card slithered back into the left card holster.

"Its only proper to introduce oneself appropriately thou name is Ace Debutler Onta the Hachidaime Yukikage of Yukigakure"[/b] he gently and politely said to her as he performed his gentleman bow. After a few short moments he straighten up his posture as he took the ear piece before applying it to his left ear. Patiently the Knave of Hearts waited for the second part of the exam to begin.

So he was a married man on top of not her type of male, which for her was all fine and dandy as she knew that not all men were like her Stone males back in the village she lived in. heck the one she liked was here taking his own exam, but she was fairly sure he wasn't as interested in her as she in him. This one was different, he was out of her league to say the least, plus he was married, and blond hair with blue eyes. Not her type at all. The woman who owned this man would be happy to know her man was safe for another day.

He spoke onward, her mind taking a turn. Here was another man thinking she was damsel in distress, what fun this will be, least with her other charge he had been fully a young man with nothing about other then a good look or two. This was gonna to be fun, she may be the weaker sex, but she didn’t think she was that bad at fighting, and taking care of herself. She got here by herself didn’t she? But it did not show on her face of what she was thinking, she merely inclined her head to the man before he went on to bow to her before he intorduced himself to her.

Oh fudge...

the Yukikage of Yukigakure, how the crap was she the lucky one to get know another kage in her life time? She remembered all the stone Kages she had known, one stood out to her, but he had vanished like the grains of sand in suna shortly after she had to drawback from her ninja life to help her dying parent out. She had lost interest in kages after that. His name had been 'Salazar', she haven't found anyone that came close to him since. But Draven had proven to be something beyond the boy. Her mind blinked out as she forced herself back to her job at hand,

her mind gave itself to the saying before her lips gently smiled at the man who had spoken to her after she had, his type of speech was grating on her mind slightly but it mattered not. He took a earpeice and placed it in his ear as she quietly stood there before she spoke,

we can go though that door on the other end of the room right now if your ready. But I suppose the black box is to reset the room if it becomes too much. But I rather not use it, but just in case, I will bring it with us. The disk can stay here, least mine will stay. Failure disk is what it should be called.

If he said he was ready she would move to enter the next room, if not she would remind here to speak once more to him.

ooc//sorry i started to ramble on with her... >.>;

[Dealer's Button]

Glancing at his teammate the Yukikage gave her a soft and polite smile. "I am prepared" [/b]he gently and politely informed her with a confident smirk upon his lips. His mind wondered what her thoughts consisted of when he revealed himself to be a powerful Kage. Even though it may have been ignorant to inform such information readily it was also a way to tell the madam that she was in good hands.

Quickly and briefly the Knave of Hearts looked over his equipment. All of his cards was accounted for and the ice exploding tags lingering inside his buttbag. His light blue eyes silently observed her as she talked about the box. Without any more hesitation the chivalrous gambler headed through the door beside his temporary leader, ready for the second part of the exams to begin. The Knave of Hearts closely and patiently awaited his ear piece to come alive. Ignoring such a impressive tool to communicate with the examiners was a idiotic deed, which he could not afford to make.

[Chuunin Examiner 3]

As both would enter through the door the ear piece would come alive. "Why helloooo. the dark voice said. "I am you Chuunin Examiner. As such understand that you are all going to die. There is a pecking order in this training school. There is you, then about you is the dirt, then worms that live in the dirt, followed by me. If you have questions you will ask if you may ask a question. Following my directions, and your deaths won't be too painful. You might even die a Chuunin. If there aren't any questions, let us begin."[/b]

Just as he said the last word a bright light would enter the small quite room that you had just entered. The room was just large enough for both of you to stand side by side. A large door would be in front of you. It was time for you to enter. The door itself was large and made out of grey stone. Two Lions were on each door. The thing was really beautiful, in a gothic and gloomy kind of way.

[Poëtische Rechtvaardigheid]

Her body tingled as the earpiece came to live with the sadist voice coming over the airwaves to her ear. It spoke, in tones telling her that she was below the speaker in question, her eyes narrowed slightly but gave no signs of feelings other then that came over her visible body. Her eyes took in the door that was in next room. The room was like they stepped over in time to another world, her eyes took in the gothic lions that were in front of a door, her body gave a sigh as she moved to walk up to the second door,

I swear... if there is a third door behind this one..

her hands moved to open the door and she would pass though to the other side to truly start the second half of the exams.

[Dealer's Button]

A small smirk appeared upon the Knave of Heart lips as the earpiece sprung to life. Finally the second part of the exams was about to begin. A forward step to seeing his proud wives face and granting an legacy for his son to fallow. Twitching with excitement his white gloved hands curled their fingers awaiting for the use in battle. Although as soon the voice seeped out of the device Ace's light eye brows narrowed. Everything the examiner mentioned was filth and absolutely staining his well earned honor. Silently keeping his frustration at bay the chivalrous gambler listened to the individual's words closely.

Just like before the first exam a bright light flooded out from the abyss ahead. Ace's confident smirk returned his lips his might and valor eager to prove his outstanding strength and vigilance. "the curtain have been raised the challenge announced let the show begin" [/b]the Hachidaime Yukikage said politely and gently as his proud and confidant grin remained. Eager to see what the light cloaked his light blue eyes observed patiently as the scene reassembled itself.

When the canvas was painted he carefully glanced at the gothic structure ahead. Casually walking beside Ane Ace locked his gaze upon the door for a few moments before shifting over to the stone structures. The design of the mighty beast was very fascinating maybe useful for shirt and paints designs in the future. Allowing his tailor profession to linger for a mere moment before the Knave of Hearts offered his attention to his pseudo leader. Calm and relaxed he awaited to see what scenarios awaited his group. Standing a few meters behind her awaiting the door to be opened. If nothing came out to halt the group's progression the Hachidaime Yukikage fallowed her entering the next section of this exam.

[Chuunin Examiner 3]

As you entered this doorway there would be a large chill in the air. Around you would be a large room. In the room were twelve statues. Each one had a different pose and item in their hand. Behind them was a door, each door looking the same. The door was a bronze door, each with a picture of the statue before it engraved in it. It would be at this time that the earpiece's circuitry would connect and you would hear your Chuunin Examiner's voice ring out.

"Each statue has a riddle. Only one statue at a time will reveal it's riddle. Now which one you choose is up to you. However, once you have chosen the statue, you must go with that statue. Forsake the riddle and try to choose another statue, and the others will not reveal their riddle. Each riddle will tell you want must be done in the room beyond the statue. If you fail to do the correct thing, then the statue will let you know. That is if you make it back to the statue. Do so enjoy your last moments, won't you?"[/b]

[Poëtische Rechtvaardigheid]

Ane moved into the next room, her eyes taking in the details of the room. It large room with chilled air, Ane felt at home with the air cooled. Her eye smiled as she looked at the twelve statues with their bronze doors behind them. Each one was different it seemed, each one was betraying a action of some kind. Her eyes took in each one as the Examiner's voice spoke to her over her earpiece. Her lips moved finally,

my last moments... wont that be something to behold?

Her eyes were drawn to the second statue in the line going to the left of herself. Her feet took her to it, as if she was in dream. Her lips moved softly,

Show me the way, my Angel.

She stood in front of the thing waiting for it to show her its riddle her hands by her sides. Her eyes examined it closely as she glanced it over.

[Tieren]

Suddenly, and without warning, a bright light surrounded the participants in the exam. The voice of Mai Turino came from the hidden speakers, though started with a loud slam of her fist against a counter. "The systems aren't working quite right. More than likely, the damn fake proctor put up some sort of counter-measure. We're just going to end the exams early. Notices are being sent to your Kages to inform them of what happened, and you all are free to head home. We're sorry for the inconvenience." She said to them. With that, the participants would all appear outside of the large building, the large doors to them closed and locked. All that was waiting for them outside was Frieda's Calcium tank that she had asked for them to look for. The 12 participants had passed their Chuunin Examinations.

[OOC: Sorry about having to do this. Apparently I was informed that the exams weren't allowed to continue into July. I had intentions of ending them on July 15th, but that is now not going to be the case. You all are free to head home and seek your new Chuunin Title. At this point, it is up to your Kage on if you'll be allowed to receive it or not. Feel free to post your exit from this thread and head back home.]

[Dealer's Button]

Patiently and politely Ace listened to the girl's answer to the challenge the examiner brought forth. It sounded all nice every moment should be treasured for their harshness or sweet serenity even one's departing breaths. The chivalrous gambler thought of such situations his profession may lead his vessel to welcome. Although, abruptly the woman from before made an annoying little announcement. Just like before his challenge was never given the chance to foretell his valiant efforts.

White gloved hands tightened into fists the Knave of Hearts got denied a honorable display of his skills just like before. His light blue eyes glared at the flooding light menacingly as his left foot stomped upon the floor clearly breaking the surface underneath his vicious left leg. Hopefully all of his skills and dedication shown so far was enough to satisfy the elders back at his arctic home. Offering a gentle and polite bow to the attractive woman he headed to the tunnel where the chilly weather outside was awaiting him.

~exit~

[Poëtische Rechtvaardigheid]

Ane watched as it all vanished as the voice interrupted with words of this isnt working right. The male be of her stopped his foot before he moved back though the tunnel. She followed him, her lips did not move though, she would have liked to have known the riddle.
