Hallucinating Makes You Cross? [CROSS, P]

'The hell...'

He was confused a bit played and annoyed. He was unaware he came here for a prize. He was invited for tea, yet nothing was offered to him, he was just told to leave. How rude no? Cross was annoyed at this point as he would just kind of stand there for a moment attempting to understand what had just really gone down. "Well, good day then," he'd say in a casual tone as he would turn to make his exit of the tea party. He didn't really care what the others did. Cross's time was well wasted and he needed to get back to finding the girl with those beautiful eyes.

"Ah! Sonny! You look hungry, stop for a bite to eat!" Came a booming voice, and through the trees a ramen bar was rolling towards Cross. Whenever it encountered a tree, it would simply ram into it, knocking it clean over, so as it travelled towards the boy, trees were falling all around. Before too long, the ramen bar had parked directly in front of Cross, and the owner, a fat old man, was leaning over the edge.

"Best ramen in the wood, so it is! What can i get you now? It's all free, of course!" He said, chuckling happily. It was quite rare that he encounter a customer in the wood, so he had to make the most of this business opportunity!

'...'

As if this day couldn't get any weirder, Cross was invited first to drink tea, to find out it's a practical joke? Odd, no more so annoying, but now a giant ramen bar on wheels? Crashing through trees? As the woods would seem to collapse around him, he'd keep his wits about him until the shop was directly parked in front of him. Well at first, since he had come all this way for tea he would think a bit of ramen and conversation couldn't hurt him. Then he chuckled a bit, he couldn't actually eat, just pretend to. "Sorry mate, picked the wrong guy," he'd say as he patted his stomach. Grabbing a bowl at the edge of the counter, Cross would open wide swallowing the bowl hole. Waiting only a few seconds before he'd literally dive his stomach in through what appeared to be clothing, pulling out from his gut the bowl completely undamaged. "No digestive track," he'd say with a smile on his face as he would place the bowl up next to the man. "But, there were plenty of people just back that way," he'd say as he began to turn back towards the way he had come from to point out the direction.

Atsui Usumaku (Transitional Membrane)
Rank: D, C, B, A
Skill: Ninjutsu, Supplementary
Effect: The user is capable of controlling the thickness of their transitional membrane. This technique is mandatory for all under the Hozuki bloodlimit. This is because it grants them their survival in battles and harsh weather conditions.
Special: ---
Drawback: Switching from ranks that are not next to each other takes 1 post (You cannot instantly switch from D rank thickness to B rank.). One can only switch their rank up or down one time per post.
Description:

During training, the user is capable of adjusting and altering their internal water pressure in their bodies. Doing so results in an increased density of their outer membrane. Chakra released from their nuclei protrusions allows water to be pressurized in a certain way underneath their transitional membrane thus resulting in the thickening and solidification of their skin. In order to switch from a higher rank of thickness to a lower, the user must decrease the amount of chakra released from their nuclei protrusions. Also, the user leaves their palms and the soles of their feet remain permeable (D ranked), thus allowing the usage of the water inside of them no matter what rank their in.

* D ranked: Very thin and moist layer of skin. This is the default layer of skin the Hozuki are normally in. Under this rank, the skin is most permeable, meaning they are able to absorb large amounts of water. Although they feel no physical pain, ninjutsu and genjutsu based attacks can affect them. Also, this skin is not suggested for harsh weather conditions. Exceedingly hot or cold weather can evaporate them or freeze them easily..

* C ranked: Under this rank, the transitional membrane is a similar thickness to that of the human skin. Can withstand any kind of weather conditions a human could. Since skin is more solidified, physical assaults on a Hozuki are more effective.

* B ranked: Under this rank, the water within their bodies is pressurized by chakra to the point in which it resembles a rock like thickness and texture. An Hozuki under this rank becomes stronger when landing physical attacks by half the rank of the attack they are using (a D rank punch gets an extra E rank damage added on). Speed is decreased by half a movement.

* A ranked: Under this rank, the water within their bodies are at the highest point of pressurization in which resembles a metal like thickness and texutre. An Hozuki under this rank becomes stronger when landing physical attacks by half the rank of the attack they are using. Speed is decreased by a full movement. Limbs are less prone to breaking. This state can only last for 3 posts before going back to D ranked thickness because it consumes a large amount of chakra.


Limit: Must belong to the Hozuki Bloodlimit, No slots are used up. Every Hozuki member begins with the D ranked version of this technique and work their way up.

OoC: Didn't designate any of the participants, because I'm leaving it up to you to describe what I see

(Well, yeah, you have no idea where the participants are actually. And you still managed to eat a bowl of ramen that didn't exist. Whatever, i'll post in a bit.)

IIC:2days.. has passed already.

'Something was wrong...'

As he had spun around to point out the others whom were just what he thought were behind him, the colors would be a bit blended as if he had eaten something funny. Looking back at the ramen cart, "Excuse, me but I feel that I should take my leave," he'd say as he would begin to wander off towards the hopes of what were the red Arrows that were littering the path out. As he moved, those damn colors would still blend around him. Cross wasn't enjoying this, it was making it that much harder to follow the red arrows. What was wrong with his head? Had that Ramen bowl been laced with something? No it wouldn't have affected his core like this, it couldn't. Something around him was causing this but he wasn't quite sure. In a worse case scenario he would have to resort to his M.P.G.'s in hopes of the aid. Though for now Cross would continue his struggle to make it to freedom.

[./Leaving? Why I Think Not

The poor Ekitai would find that, as soon as he turned away from the Ramen stand, his clothes would simply, disappear, a shocking realization to him perhaps, but none the less, his own fault, he had not played by the rules, and now it was time for the penalty game. The man at the ramen stand was yelling again, nothing in particular, just about noodles and half price and such nonsense. The arrows that the male seemed to be following would all eventually lead to the ground, pointing downwards. With Close examination, he would realize that they would be pointing to an elevator in the earth, and if he entered the said elevator, he would notice that there were only three buttons. Each of them marked differently.

[./Tea Time

[./CHANGE PLACES

Dare he choose a button? Or would he continue down the golden path into the magical forest that awaited him. [/font]

'Trippin' balls...'

Cross would find himself rather confused and messed up. Moving around attempting to follow all those cursed red arrows eventually leading to an elevator? 'The hell? This wasn't here when I came in,' he'd think to himself as he would gaze at the object before him. He examined the three options, or would he run off into the woods with no arrows? To hell with that risk, he would weight the outcomes that would be from these buttons. The exit was too obvious, it couldn't be what he was looking for. Perhaps a trap? He went with Change Place. Pushing the green button after stepping inside the elevator, he would throw himself at a whim.
