Dario Park [POI]

[Kou]

His slumber was unfortunately short lived.

The same soothing melody that had put him to sleep ended, which led to another turn of events. The band member's retreated from their beloved position, making way for the squad of mysterious masked men that entered the stage not long after. With them was an individual, a woman actually, that appeared more important than the rest.

The painter propped himself up and gazed halfheartedly at the wealthy lady, whom he assumed was the duchess, as she explained how the tea party would proceed. As her speech concluded an energetic man dressed in a silly wardrobe stepped up and announced that he was seeking volunteers for a song.

Kou was wide awake instantly.

"Oh, pick me! pick me! I wanna sing!" He shouted excitedly, hopping up and down in the back of the crowd in order to be noticed. He loathed his lack of height in situations such as these. Frantically, the child began to push his way through the crowd, slowly progressing towards the stage that awaited his amazing talent.

[Infinite Swordsman Trace]

Breaking his silence until now, the strange abomination before him was now speaking to him. Looking him up and down, he noticed extra arms, a giant flytrap and a dual colored body. "Arrogance? Do not mistake my words for that, they are from MANY more years of thought than anyone could fathom here." Continuing inquisitively, he asked. "... You... If you excuse my asking. What, bloodline are you of? You are most interesting." As he spoke, Bees began leaving his body through his coat in sheer anger of seeing the man and exploding into the air. "CEASE!" He would shout as a small portion of the bees left at the beckoning of their master in order to bring nectar and pollen back to their hive to produce honey.

Ikiri would rise himself up from the tree and begin to walk towards the tables. Things that look like fights would be starting soon, the wretch that was harassing the elderly was gone, and there was a possibility to meet with the duchess of this nice resort.. On approach, he'd hear a long haired male infront of him asking for a audience with the duchess as well. But his paitences was wearing along the lines of thin at this gathering. Sliding next to the man, he'd begin speaking.

"So. When would I be able to see the duchess?"

[hisoka17]

Unsure to where the 'princess' of troublemakers could be, Kyou sighed, unhappy that his only amusement had disappeared in a blink of an eye. Oh well... It isn't the end of the event yet, so maybe something chaotic could appear soon...

Noticing the sudden silence, the bored boy turned around to face the stage and scurried across the top of the trees to get a better view of who stopped the catchy music. ''What's she doing back up there?'' He asked himself, watching the hostess walk onto centre stage whilst the band left.


Appearing straight after Suzume, a group of masked men wearing blue cloaks with leather pants walked onto the stage. Obviously they were body guards of some sort. Kyou knew this instantly after spotting a woman dressed in a very expensive light blue kimono with silver sash and a sword hanging from the sash right in the middle of their formation. Could this be the duchess? If so opportunities laid within the boys grasp, meeting her is a must! A lady like her must have a couple troubles and could use a little help.

Suzume officially welcomed anyone and everyone to meet the duchess, disappearing into the dust, allowing the band to return back to the stage. The leader of them stepped forward to say a few words.

"Hello hello. My name is Mojo as you all know. I'd like a volunteer to sing with us any song you wish to. The song will be gifted to the Duchess so please, make sure you can sing hahahaha"

It wasn't long before Kyou gained a flash back about that tone deaf ninja, Satoru who tried singing on his journey to Mo. The thought of it made the poor boy's ears bleed. Hoping he doesn't get chosen to sing, dreading his very fate, the boy jumped off the tree, landing smoothly on the soft grass beneath him and made his way to the table guarding the duchess.

[Katsumaru]

[/color][/i] a cavernous, guttural laugh exited Katsumaru’s throat, a miniscule string of spider webbings hanging from the teeth, the end dangling on the grass. He gawped at Malice for some moments, the stare rather lengthy. Tongue curling, the web was drawn in once again.

Directed at Malice he uttered,””And yet another interesting figure. A man of pride? Nay, that extends far beyond pride. Pathetic, hrm, he must be a spiteful one.”

Little attention was given to Terfezia at the moment, for the flytrap-man crawled towards Aurel, circling around the aged man rather than standing still. Eyes moved up and down, drawing in features, scent, all that senses could register.

”I am a Kouba, men whose bodies are intermingled with plant, or rather, a flytrap. The reasoning behind that was a perverse hunger that led to the corruption, the abominable spawn upon which your eyes rest now. And years of thought you say? Kehehe-“[/i] again that disquieting cackle erupted into the air. ”It is a bit impetuous for the learned to think that they know better than any other.”[/color]

Lastly, Katsumaru turned to Terfezia, no more on four, but pushing himself up to stand on two legs, towering several feet above the green haired genin. Chin pointed downwards as the kouba spoke to the team mate. ”Let such things not bother you. Do not act impulsively, as that is entirely foolish. We have seen where that leads, with Yukio’s death. Act not like a child. And no, I am not interested in food.”[/ul]

[Satoru]

"HAhahaha now this is more like it...but Kiro it is a virtue you know to resist such temptations of life!" laughed Satoru at the request for volunteers to sing.

Some say samurais have such will power that they can resist eating for a week without losing their stamina, other stories have arisen that some swordsmen could resist all mortal temptations of the flesh.

"But sadly some temptations are just to tempting I think" quickly added Satoru to Kiro.

Satoru was a samurai but sadly didn't share some of their view points on restraint.

"Some times you can't let life chose you, you just gotta chose for life yourself my friend hahahaha" Laughed Satoru to-wards the other person who wanted to be chosen.

Satoru's face was now fully alight with joy at singing a more festive party song. This was what a party was all about, just having a good time no matter how foolish one looked, though satoru didn't really care about how he looked being lack-there-off the sight perception.

Now also being blind one would think Satoru more amazing of a person due to how he was running. Instead of dodging and navigating though the crowd Satoru was gracefully running on people's shoulders in a very delicate sprint to-wards the stage. Then with a very overly dramatic jump the blind genin would land on the stage his face alight with a joyous smile.

The boy would whisper the song to the band leader for a quick second before yelling at the top of his lounges. And uncaring if the band members would follow the lead of the boy or not Satoru would begin to initiate his song.

"HIT IT!!!" said the blind genin striking a pose that would appear to be that of some disco dancer.

OCC: Sorry kou couldn't resist hahaha

[yukisan]

[/i] The man dressed in queer clothing said. Suprisingly, people actually voluteered to sing, Katsuko would never make a fool out of herself like that. A man, or boy, would soon go up to the stage. ""HIT IT!!!" He commanded. A few moments the music started playing and he started to sing.

"Excuse me." Katsuko told Noel. She turned arounded and headed towards the body of water where the boats were. There was no way she'd stick around and listen to him sing. Too Katsu it was like having a knife stabbed in to your ear, but then again she was a bit dramatic. Katsuko hopped on the boat and began to row.[/size][/ul]

[Kou]

[OOC: Lolz, it's all good dude.]

---

As he rushed onto the stage another male approached him, giving a bit of easy-going advice. Kou smiled.

"Haha, yeah! At least someone is trying to have some fun."

Strangely enough, the dark haired wanderer wore his headband over his eyes. The youngster wondered how he was able to see, but wouldn't ask him about it, as not to be rude. Still, the slender individual managed to get to the stage first, immediately initiating a rather upbeat song. It fit the mood just perfectly. Funny enough, the painter was also familiar with the lyrics. As he stepped up onto the stage, grabbing a microphone, the boy joined in and began a passionate attempt at singing back up for his new charismatic companion .

"Celebrate good times, come on!"

He definitely wasn't the best singer and probably looked really stupid up there, but hell, it was all for fun anyways, right?

[raidou]

════════════════

And so, a lot of different things would seem to happen in such little time.

Firstly, looking back at the male with the fly-trap like appearance, one side of his face colured white whilst the other lay black, it would seem the green haired male from before who had been fighting with the blonde haired woman was to approach him, speaking in a matter and using words that could but make it apparent that the two were teammates, he wasn't sure about what village exactly, though. But nonetheless, it was still interesting to see them.

And then would come the sound of fanfares, so loud, it would cause Noel himself to turn somewhat in order to see why exactly they were making such a noise- Only to figure out a few moments later, that the Duchess, the leader of the village, was to arrive. Watching as dozens of guards seemed to make their way in, bearing regal blue cloaks and what appeared to be helmets which reflected the light in some way, making it hard to see the faces behind them- It was interesting, they didn't have them in Takigakure, but then again, he was in a different country. Takigakure probably had things that they didn't have themselves.
Continuing to look at the unfolding scene, tresses of red hair and elegant light blue silk would become apparent to him as the Duchess seemed to make her entry to the event- She was wearing a light blue kimono with a silver sash, with what appeared to be a blade hanging from her waist, no doubt for protection if it would come to such an extent that she'd need to protect herself. Listening, he'd hear that people had the chance to meet her- Sure, he wouldn't mind greeting her and perhaps exchanging a few words, but, he'd decide to do it afterwards, after all the drama had gone down a little bit.

And then-

"I'd like a volunteer to sing with us any song you wish to. The song will be gifted to the Duchess so please, make sure you can sing hahahaha"

--Such a request from him, Noel wasn't one to give out. He didn't sing. Full stop. But, it'd be nice to see the other people giving it a shot and singing- It might be interesting hearing the different songs that some people would begin to sing, right? Or, it seemed that someone had volunteered already, a male with blonde hair and tanned skin, with a Kumogakure headband around his neck.

"............"

Turning back to look at the middle aged man who was near him, he'd watch as he'd seem to retaliate to the fly trap guy's words in a somewhat annoyed manner, and yet, he seemed to keep his calm, althoug something within him didn't, dozens of bees begining to seep through his sleeves- What's this? He had heard of the Aburame before- But bees? Perhaps they were similar. Turning back to the fly-trap, he'd see an intense look of frustration and anger on his face, directed towards Noel himself--- Had he done something? Seeing him turn away after, it would but leave him wondering what he had done to offend him so.
He felt bad, now.

”I am a Kouba, men whose bodies are intermingled with plant, or rather, a flytrap."

Kouba? That was something interesting learned today.

"HIT IT!!!"

As another burst of sound came from the stage, Noel's head would turn once more towards it, seeing what appeared to be a male, blindfolded somewhat, begining to sing some song that was unfamiliar to him himself, but it seemed like quite a nice song anyway, even though, he wasn't the best of singers as it seemed. With a small smile forming in his face, he was just about to ask Katsu if she was going to see the Duchess when, turning his head to see, he'd notice---

"Excuse me."
"......!!"

She was on a boat, currently going out to sea the lake, for some apparent reason. Unsure why she did that, he'd figure he'd ask her later on in time. Watching as she'd sail out one eyebrow raised although, with his hat on it was quite hard to tell, he'd then turn somewhat, although, keeping an eye on her. If she was to drown, that wouldn't really be great for his memory of the Tea Party. As the eldest of the two, he obtained the role of a guard of sorts to the young girl, making sure that she wasn't attacked during the time. It wasn't called upon him to do so- It was simply his nature.

════════════════

[Dealer's Button]

The green haired genin stayed silent as people began to sing. He was not annoyed by the music he just wished it was silent so he could sleep. This was when his teammate anwered to his suggestion. Also the kouba answered back towards Terfezia reason to be annoyed. It seemed that it was true that at times the herbalist did not think before acting.

An sigh would escape his lips accepting the facts. Maybe if he tried to be more understanding Yukio's blood would not be on his hands. Light purple eyes would look down at the grass as he thought about how the situation turned out. "i know..." He would say to Katsumaru. A few seconds he would look up at the kouba again. "well ill be away from the village for a week or so after i leave the party...that shoudl be very soon hopefully when i come back Yumi doesnt want to kill me" the herbalist said to Katsumaru before looking towards the direction the dutches.

[GO AWAY]

[OOC: Too much to read and try to talk to anyone...x.x gonna just leave.]

I sighed a bit, not much to do. The people were 'nice' in my terms, but I was going to go home and train a bit more in my clan techniques. I merely gave a wave to those around me and left the area.

[exit]

[Katsumaru]

[Exit]

[Dealer's Button]

Terfezia would notice the kouba's uninterested gaze. Afterwards the aburame would merge with a tree before vanishing. The herbalist was ready to leave as well. Afterall he had to start gathering herbs. Putting his hands in his pockets the green haired genin woudl walk exiting the park.

~exit~

[Infinite Swordsman Trace]

Sighing, Aurel would speak to the guide. Apparently, everyone was leaving without collecting their gifts "If the Duchess isn't too busy, I'd like to speak to her... After I receive this 'gift' I was told I would receive." He would speak as a cloud of angry Hornets buzzed high above his head, looking for anything that seemed to be a threat.

[raidou]

════════════════

OOC: I'm sorry, writers block.

By now, many a thing had quieted down.
To start off with, as he'd look about, he'd notice a lot of people seemingly leaving the park as soon as the Duchess had came to the event- Such an odd thing to happen it was, but explainable- Perhaps they had gotten bored of the festivities and chose to retire? Such answers would only be answered by asking them themselves- Although that would be awfully rude of him, so, he wasn't to do it. Turning back to Katsu, who was no doubt in the middle of the lake, or somewhere on the lake. Nodding somewhat after seeing that she was still about, the tall giant would then go onwards to where the blonde haired man had gone- To see the Duchess, although there was a line, as it seemed. Pausing for a few moments before doing anything, he'd decide to stay silent as he'd await for his turn in order to see the regal female that lead the village of Mo-- And there was a gift? Hadn't the others picked it up before they left? Perhaps not.

But, it was their loss.

".........
I'd also like to seek permission to see the Duchess, please." that having been spoken to a nearby guard, the raven-clothed man would wait.

════════════════

[Deleted]

He had exactly no time for this. The boy would turn from the table and navigate out of the park, off to the cars. All the while marking down Mo Village on his map.

/exit.

[/blockquote][/size]

[m07]

The area started to get quieter and quieter, as he had expected, people were beginning to leave there reasoning was that of boredom most likely, or because no one had approached them....what idiots, if they wanted to talk you have to take the initiative in your own life and make contact. One reason of many why he knew that humanity did not deserve its life, he himself? Well he didn't want to talk, he had his own goals and plans he needed to carry out, that was why he had picked the farthest place and meditate until the ranks were thinned, just as he expected. Malice broke his thoughts and slowly stood, letting his bones crack and become nimble, now that most the fools had left, he could check and see what kinds of food were here he thought to himself. Another reason was the tea, he had remembered he enjoyed a nice cup of tea once in a while, it was one of the soothing things in the world that he still found a small amount of comfort. Malice made his way across the bridge and to the lines of food, he inhaled there aroma and began to scout around what looked best, he kept away from the others, he was in no mood for pointless conversation. But he could hear everything from here...

[Infinite Swordsman Trace]

Aurel was tired of waiting, he walked towards a table piled high with books. "I assume these are the "gifts" I was told we'd be receiving?" He said as he looked towards a guard. "I have little time to flounder about, my research is very important to the medical world." He said. If told the books were indeed the gifts, he would pick one out that was entitled "Kumotate: Bear Defense" and left. "I shall speak with the Duchess some other time" he would shout as he made his exit.

[Exit]

[yukisan]

[/color] Katsuko looked up to Noel and continued, "Shall we go?" She politely asked.[/size][/ul]

[raidou]

════════════════

It seemed that as time went by- All that was happening was people leaving. It seemed that the Duchess was quite caught up with the people she was already talking to, as it seemed. With a glance to the right for a few moments as he saw Katsu and her boat glide across the waters towards the shore, as so to say, he'd turn to look at one of the guards who were protecting the Duchess herself, speaking the words: "I'm sorry. Please give my best regards to the Lady.", and with a polite bow, the gargantuan shinobi would then move to the side, towards where Katsuko seemed to be coming towards in her boat. As she seemed to speak about the Duchess and how she figured that she wasn't going to be ready, he'd nod his head in agreement, the single nod being all that was said for a few seconds before he'd then, watching as she'd step out of the dress and ask if they'd go, open his mouth once more to speak.

"We'd best be on our way then, Miss Katsu." that having been spoken in his usual polite tone, he'd look down at the girl before then--

--Turning his head towards a table which seemed to be stocked full of books- He had heard that they were able to be given a single book as a sign of thanks for coming to the tea party- Although there hadn't been that much conversing and all, he wasn't that much of a talkative person, to say the least- That is, when amongst strangers of course. Walking towards the table which was nearby, he'd then look through the things that were there, before then removing a single book about Herbalism. Carrying it safely in his left arm, he'd then look back to Katsu, as he'd begin to make his way out of the park, making sure that she was following him as he'd do so, not wanting to lose track of the young girl.

Passing through the entry to the park, he'd then make his exit, gazing at the scenery one last time before leaving- The village was truly beautiful.

--Exit!
