Village Graveyard

[Asakuro]

Asakuro would return his head from the water once again, and once again he would have another apple in his mouth. This time he had won a windmill shuriken. After taking his prize the genin would notice another ninja had arrived here. Asakuro's personality didn't allow him to not to interact with the new individual.

"Hello there. I'm Asakuro."

After saying that the genin would once again dunk his head into the water. He was going for yet another apple.

[Takeuchi]

Leaving his bag on the bunch he stood and turned to Kana and spoke, "Hey, I'm going to give bobbing for apples another try." Walking over to the nearest open he handed the money to the man working the booth, still not noticing the costume, and prepared himself. Odd methods had worked before, so he'd try odd methods again. Grabbing the Apple holding container by the sides he used it to hoist himself up, doing a hand stand over the container. Doing a sort of pushup like that he bent his elbows and dunked his head in the waters, trying to grasp a crimson frui between ivory mollars.

Attempt 1|3

[Tieren]

Tieren looked to the person that had spoken to him and simply nodded, adding on an introduction of his own. "Nice to meet you. My name is Tieren Drasani." With those said, he watched the man dunk his own head, to which Tieren would soon follow suit. He had failed on his first attempt, but he had plenty of money to spend, and nothing else to spend it on. After all.... The Jounin already had plenty of weapons. He had no need to buy any more. If anything, the most he would buy were scrolls to learn new jutsu. Regardless, his head had dunked once more, ready to grab an apple.

"Three, two, one... Swag: On!"

Izea sauntered onto the scene, his self-proclaimed pimpilishis pimpishness in full force. One of the Nurse's had let slip to him while he was in the hospital that she was going to attend the festival, which was quite the incentive for the poon loving Sakurai. Women, he theorized, were in there most vulnerable state when they were frightened or startled, hence why domestic violence was so popular. Thus, a setting such as the cemetery would be like, the perfect feeding ground for an opportunistic assbag such as himself. But, Izea had to admit that the cemetery had a decidedly spooky presence, what with all the cobwebs and the various stops the Village had pulled out; the atmosphere was very spooky.

However, not too spooky, the boy assured himself. Certainly not too spooky for one as manly as himself! Besides, it's not as if the event was death enabled or anything... right? And so he cast the thought out of his mind and instead focused on the other attendants, specifically trying to locate the nurse whom he'd met before.

As he wandered through the crowds of people he came upon the apple bobbing event, which was, as most likely guessed, extremely popular. Izea pushed his way through the ring of spectators just as one of the higher ranking Ninja of the Village, Izea recognized him as Tierien Drasani, dunked his head into the water bowel.

"How interesting," Izea said loudly in an obnoxious manner, a fiendish smirk spreading across his face. "that Tierien-Sama would be so gifted at grabbing balls with his mouth!"

Halloween Event in Cloud? Sounds very interesting for Anji Shimu, the Cloud shinobi who has nothing to do at the moment. He was too lazy to train, seeing it was Halloween. Everyone was trying to have fun scaring or get scared by people and he was still there inside the forest training how to mold his chakra? Sounds pretty dull.

Instead, he went to the graveyard. Well, why? Obviously he was not there to visit anyone, he was there for the event. Halloween event inside the graveyard - awesome idea. As expected, it was crowded with people and...people-made-ghosts. He passed through stall by stall and he reached the Apple Bobbing stall.

What the f*** is this game about? Anji has the thought inside his mind as he walked nearer into the stall. Basically, it's some apple throwing fun. Well, let's see if I can throw an apple as accurate as a kunai. Anji signed up, 20 ryo was nothing to him. He could earn far more with his life-risking job. First throw, would he get something?

1/3 Throw

[Kotomi]

As Kotomi approached the graveyard the gates opened with a terrifying
creak which sent shivers down her spine. Kotomi had already been dressed for the occasion, she wore a long, red dress that was open at the shoulders and revealed a fair amount of cleavage. Around her neck and wrists she wore red bands which matched her dress, her long golden hair was tied up in twin pony tails to the side by two large, red ribbons. On her legs she wore red stockings that reached her thighs and on her feet she wore red, high heeled shoes which completed the outfit.

Her face and been carefully made up with make-up, a friend had helped to put on black eye shadow, rosy red lipstick and had even used foundation which made her face paler than it already was. In her mouth she wore fake, large canines giving off the impression of a vampire or some kind of dark countess. Why had she come here again?... That's right she had never been to a Halloween event before and so she wanted to experience it first hand.

Kotomi had no need for her guide stick today, as she entered the graveyard the noise alone from the occurring event was enough to send waves of navigation in to her ears. One particular area of the graveyard had been extra busy as all sorts of sounds from people speaking to strange eerie noises flooded her ears. Following the path of noise she carefully made her way over to the crowd where sounds of splashing water, cursing and even cheerful joys could be clearly heard. Kotomi halted on the spot as a curious expression filled her pale face, what exactly was this bizarre event?

[Oyushi]

SPOILER: Click to show

Oyushi ran into the gate a few times before he managed to get it right and go through the gap and into the graveyard, he stumbled along at a pretty quick pace given his costume. He moved his head around all over the place, bobbing and weaving trying to find a good way to look out "the mouth of the beast". After carefully picking his way through most of the graveyard he finally made it to the center of the event. He grinned inside the mask and gave out a loud booyah to announce his presence.

He ran off to go bob for apples first, but almost ran into a young girl with a cane. The only reason he managed to avoid her was the clicking of the cane regularly hitting the ground. He spun out of the way and grabbed the mask off of his own.
"Woah! Sorry about that young miss, you right?"
He asked.

Kana smiled at the influx of people arriving at the graveyard. It looked like it was time to get things started. It seemed some people were already in their costumes. She smiled and shook her head with a small laugh as she rose to her feet. She wasn't one for speeches but the dead deserved words of rememberance, and she was the one to give them. The kunoichi made her way to the front of the crowd and smiled. Somewhere along the way she had gathered a small handful of flowers. "Everyone... if I could have your attention for just a moment!" Her voice raised over the crowd as she hoped they would all hear her.

[Takeuchi]

The Uchiha had failed in gaining anything on that attempt, perhaps it was too crazy. Mukuro was prepared to make another attempt when the sweet trill of Kana's voice penetrated his concentration. Returning himself to a standing position the raven haired male took a seat on the edge of the barrel, waiting silently for the speech. Words of respect for the fallen.

[Kotomi]

A sudden rush of stumbling footsteps were heading in Kotomi's direction at incredible speed. Instinctively she dodged to avoid the impact and thus no harm came to, whoever or whatever it was suddenly stopped in their tracks and apologized to her. "Oh... erm... it's nothing, don't worry about it..." she replied with her usual shy, gentle tone.

There was a momentary awkward silence between the two however it
was quickly broken as someone began to speak over the crowd. Kotomi turned in the direction of where the speech had come from and began to listen intently.

[Kouta Bannin]

Kouta arrived at the graveyard with plenty of time to spare. He was lucky and heard from someone on the way that it was a costume party and as such he ran to a nearby store to get some face paint. It wasn't much of a costume but it went well with his current attire. He painted his face a pale white and had a pair of fake fangs, he had painted the tips of the fangs red and also added a red streak that ran down from the right side of his mouth. He certainly fit the description of a vampire with his cape on and he preferred to ware black so he fit the description and looked like a vampire.

Once Kouta entered the graveyard he was very surprised at how many people where there. He noticed a lot were playing games and many were just having a general good time. Just when he was about to join in of the festivities a voice penetrated the noisy crowd. "Everyone... if I could have your attention for just a moment!". It was a woman but Kouta didn't get a good look at her as someone stepped right in front of his view just as she started to speak, he was a very big person too and Kouta didn't feel like askign him to move. Kouta wasn't even sure if many people heard her though as the place was pretty loud. He would try to get a better view of her though, he just needs to find a way to weave around the crowd.

[|Ayame Unbound|]

Why wait? The others would turn and give attention when she began, or so she hoped. "I'd like to thank you for coming everyone. Before we continue much further I would like you all to remember our location. We stand here in the home of the dead. This is the place the fallen are laid to rest. We have friends, family, and Raikage's buried within these gates so I would like to take a moment of silence for remberance." A long minute would pass for everyone to keep the silence in rememberence of the dead. With that done Kana would look up and open her eyes. "Alright let the games begin! I'll give you guys a bit longer before the first contest begins!"

Kana walked over to the graves, away from the others. She stopped first at her fathers grave, her head bowed for a moment before she set a rose across the earth. Next she moved to the grave of Banraku Himiko, her only real friend. Another moment of silence passed before she placed yet another rose. Finally she stopped at the grave of Raikou, the Kage who helped her and granted her the title of ANBU, the one who believed in her. One last time she bowed her head over the grave and placed a rose. Her respects were paid. Her eyes danced back to the crowd to see what the others were up to.

[Asakuro]

Asakuro would raise from the waters with nothing in mouth, and as he came up Machiko would begin to speak. It seemed she had something to say to everyone so he took a break and let her speak. As she finished Asakuro would take a moment to give respect to the fallen. After a few moments Asakuro's head would raise once again and he would move on back to the apple contest. Dunking his head yet another time, Asakuro would attempt to catch yet another apple.

[Tieren]

So it appeared there was a disrespectful man there who apparently knew of Tieren. He could care less of the words that had come from this mans mouth. The fact was that Tieren was a Jounin and had most likely seen more in the past 5 years of being a ninja then the genin who spoke ill of him had Maybe one day Tieren would show this man what he could do. But right now, it was an event that Kana had designed for them to go to, and there was little that would make him ruin it. Besides... Tieren wasn't one to fight his own villages ninja unless told to or agreed upon and fought in the arena. So he would not even look at the man who disrespected him, going back to the game that he had paid money for.

With one last dunk before the Kage spoke, Tieren attempted to grab something. Regardless of if he did or didn't, Tieren would arise and claim his prize if he so got one. He then turned to the Raikage, his glasses now being returned to his face and listened to what she had said. It was the graveyard, and there were people he could respect. Raikou, Kurogane, Othello, Rouge, Nagare, Kyuzu, and several others were among them. Tieren was saddened at their loss and the silence that came with it. But when talking resumed, Tieren was about to pay for the Bobbing for Apples thing once more, however stopped when he saw Kana walk off to pay her respects.

Tieren followed her this time and said "It appears you are making a fine Raikage. You should be proud of what you have done." With that said, he looked at the grave she stood at now. Raikou Debiru... The one who was Raikage upon Tieren's return from the Chuunin Exams. He gave Tieren the title of Chuunin, and in return... All Tieren could do was find the dead body of Raikou and deliver it to the Raikage tower. The wolves were still there and he often thought about asking if he could have them, but he wasn't sure if he would be able to care for them like their master could. He was glad that he was here for Raikou's burial. At the burial, it was Kotomi who was the Raikage. But now... It was Kana, and she seemed to be doing just as wonderful as Kotomi had. But now he needed to talk to Kana.

Attempt 3/3

[Kotomi]

Kotomi paused and listened to the speech, the speech was powerful and full of emotion, whoever was giving this speech must of been someone high up and with a great title she thought to herself. Kotomi hadn't been born in the village of Cloud and so she had no friends or relatives that had been buried in Cloud's graveyard. There was a sudden silence among the crowd and so Kotomi lowered her head to give her respects to the dead.

"Alright let the games begin! I'll give you guys a bit longer before the first contest begins!"

...Games?... She thought to herself. She had little knowledge of these so called 'games' and so she was rather interested. Kotomi had no idea how to spend her time whilst the games were being prepared and she most likely knew nobody here so she decided to stay within the crowd until further notice.

[goliath764]

Anji missed the first bobbing attempt What he get from the first throw? Nothing but understanding that it was hard . Just as he was lowering his head down for the third and last attempt to end the little game, he was stopped by a powerful voice from...someone he didn't know.

It didn't really matter, she was probably one of the high rank shinobi around here or maybe the new Raikage? The thought flashed through Anji's mind for one second there. He didn't know who's the new Raikage and it sucked because he should be up to date as a shinobi of Cloud.

Well, the graveyard reminded him of his last event here, the burial of a former Raikage - Raikou. It was quite a long time now ever since he stepped into this graveyard again. After all, he has no relative, family or friend buried inside this graveyard for now. He couldn't think of a reason to get involved with someone else for now so he just got back to his game, ready for the third attempt.

2/3 Bite

[Kouta Bannin]

Trying to get around the crowd to better see who was speaking he heard the crowd go silent (for the most part) for a short time. He figured that people were paying respect to the dead. Kouta paused a second as well to remember the dead that were buried here. There where three people that he would remember forever. Those who were closest to him, he cursed to the cruel gods in his mind as he started to walk around again. He was not sure were his former comrades were buried but he took a mental note to make sure to find them after this event.

Kouta finally found a spot where he could see the speaker, it was next to a young girl with long hair, she had a frilly red dress on with knee-high red stockings and two red bows in her very long hair. Kouta noticed that she was wearing a pale type of make-up and he realized that she was dressed like a vampire as well. He moved to stand beside her so that he could get a better view of the previous speaker.

This time he got a better view of the speaker and also of the graveyard area. He looked around and noticed that he didn't recognize anyone, he has not been part of Kumogakure for four years it only made sense that people changed. It was enhanced by the fact that everyone was in costume as well. Perhaps he could forge some new friends while here. Interuptting his line of thought the person running this event (at least he assumed she was running it) spoke again. "Alright let the games begin! I'll give you guys a bit longer before the first contest begins!"

Thinking that this was going to be fun Kouta wanted to make some allies for these games. Perhaps they will be games that require teams. Thinking that he turned to the girl next to him. "Hello, fellow vampire. I would like to introduce myself, I am Count Kouta." Kouta was speaking in the best vampire voice he could get, which wasn't that good but most people would know what he was trying to do. Unfortunately for Kouta voice impersonations were not his forte.

[|Ayame Unbound|]

Kana looked up, her eyes resting upon Tieren. "Thank you though I have done nothing yet." A sad smile crossed her face before she turned to the newly made Jounin. She placed a hand upon his shoulder and locked her eyes upon his. "Tell me, is Sousuke alright?"
