This is the thread for the event, The Hole which will begin tomorrow on June 22.

[/center][/i][/size][/color]

A thick fog of such depth that nigh all sight was stolen enclosed Kuma no Kuni this night, The sound of the winds eerie whistle was carried through the lands, the cry ceasing not once for a momentary halt. The night was deep and silent, life within the city having come to a halt. No more citizen walked the streets and shopkeeps put their business to a close. But one figure stood before the gateway to the capital supported by a staff.

Etsabushi Toryaku, the lone scholar who compiled the knowledge of the wretched hole, an abominable entrance into the earth where all but one has perished. A thick, gray beard covered the face of the scholar extending downwards to the centre of his chest and the head remained free of hairs. Thick robes covered the man’s body adorned with a multitude of pouches. Exhaustion and fright spread across his features as he stared out into the lands. A surreal horror, so distorted that it has shattered the mind of one man, sits beneath these lands.

The Hole and the Lands

[/i][/size][/color]

Reaching deep into the earth the hole rested between the canyons of this land. The grand winds carried the screeches from within the hole throughout the lands in entirety, sounds piercing through the mists, reaching even the gates of the capital. These nauseous shrieks were quite unlike anything known to man, drenching the mind with anticipation and even fear. The pitch fluctuated from a low point to the highest and back, echoing from mountain to mountain. Even amongst the trees these hellish screeches ring not giving the ears a moments rest.

Predators of the night were not out to hunt, but scurried to their dens and caves. Winces of wildlife, dread evident in their cries, spread through the forested lands. Deeper in the canyons the howls of those…things within the hole grew mightier by the moment.[/ul]

The braves souls who have taken it upon themselves to delve into this pit, what will they do? Speak to the Scholar, he who can provide with information or immediately enter the Hole. Or perhaps they make another choice?

Heroism

[/size]

I had turned toward the sound, finding myself on the outskirts of the capital, and my eyes fell on some old man with a staff. Curious, I would approach him, after all, the Hero was supposed to help the people in need; and he sure looked the part.

Zelos: “What‘s the matter, sir? You look pretty shaken.”

He would await the answer, his eyes drifting back in the direction of those infernal howls, putting two and two together to make five. That must be the cause. I would definitely have to learn more, instead of just rushing in, because a Hero had to be beautifully strong AND smart; not just beautiful and strong. [/ul][/font]

[Solus]

[Enter!]

And that was the end of my happy mood...

[/size][/right]

Smoothly gliding down on a flurry of colours the Genmaster and his feathered steed would make a touchdown that would at least deserve some applause. Oh, how much fun... An old bearded geezer and a metro/homo-sexual... Yeh, that really made his day. Sliding off the side of the rainbow mount he would turn and pat the birds beak for a few seconds, it was still his pet after all and the strange howling in the distance would be scaring her.

It would shake her feathers and fold her wings, making it appear quite a lot smaller. By doing this the bird would reveal something that had been hidden behind a wing: a camera crew. A gigantic sweatdrop would travel down the Genmaster's face when he saw that the camera pointed at the gayest person he had seen up till now. Hopefully this guy wouldn't try to get into his ass as much as Kagetora used to try.

Mr tightpants would walk up to the old geezer, about twenty meters away. No! No! Don't talk to old hermits! You'll either get to do some long and bothersome quest or you'll get raped! No wait.. He might even actually like the latter option. The thoughts would cross the medic's mind, but the most eerie voice he had ever heard before would snap his mind from it's ponderings. “What‘s the matter, sir? You look pretty shaken.” Oh my g** he actually did it, I gotta prepare for a long and tiresome day now. Crossing his arms the Genmaster would await the old geezers reply. If that old hermit is going to rape him I am not going to intervene.

[/blockquote]

[Asakuro]

-::Enter::-

Asakuro would enter the grounds of where he had to arrive. He would see quite a collection of people. There was a younger male that didn't seem he would be helpful. It looked as if he had seen a ghost.. There was an old man that seemed knowledgeable, some other male that was approaching the old man, and some dude on some colorful bird thing.. Asakuro would just come closer anyways... He was pretty sure this was where he had to be. If they posed a problem, Rafiki or himself would come to notice.

As the genin would listen to what was being asked he would watch the two members that seemed to be not from around here. Asakuro's head band would not be seen. His current village would be kept secret. It would probably be best that way.

Rafiki would simply stand to Asakuro's side. The duo was awaiting to see what the old man had to say. The last thing they would be, however, was surprise attacked//ambushed//whatever you want to call it. A mini-gas mask would cover Asakuro's face partially as he awaited the result of the question asked...

[Katsumaru]

Etsabushi Toryaku

[/i][/size][/color]

[/color][/i] he uttered, words nearly drowned out by the screeching in the distance. Staring out into the lands Etsubushi’s eyes widened and his body began to shake slightly. Each monstrous, abdominal, otherworldly shriek send a shiver through his bone. The scholar appeared utterly terrified, skin drenched in rivers of sweat. He took not much not of the surroundings as his mind was wrapped around what was to be found within these lands.

Again the elder spoke, voice slightly more sturdy this time.”The Hole, it is within these lands. That is where these cries come from. Enter, and your mind will be –shattered- by the sights within. It is something no mind is meant to see, no mind can comprehend. You men, you seem mildly capable. End this threat now. I beg of you. I plead you. This man leads to the Hole, a location roughly sketched out by the lone survivor, a man who is in no shape to speak.[/i] he held out the map for anyone to take after pulling it from the pack.

The Lands

[/i][/size][/color]

The fog thickened nearly blocking out all sight. Shapes would be a mere blur even before the sharpest of eyes. This fog was no normal mist. Its murkiness came with an odd heat as it ran over the skin, first warming it then cooling, before repeating the same process. The change in temperature was felt even to the bones.[/ul]

[An'ei Sekitan]

[/i] My eye began to twitch as I read that guys post, my fist clenching a bit, even as the old man began to tell us of his plight. I had already stopped paying attention, focusing on this post, and the nerve of this guy. Gayest person! This guy was going too far already! Who did he think he was anyway, talking about people like that, saying things like that, as if he were the Sherrif of America? Rape me!?! This guy was just full of insults! Who roleplayed this guy? I took a look at the name real quick, finding that it was Solus who controlled this douche bag, and the anger vein popped up on my head. I turned away from the old man completely, swiping the map in the process.

Zelos: "HETEROSEXUAL! You're the only fag I see here! Riding around on your rainbow peacock like Prince's protege! Douche!"

The weather was wacky for this time of year, hot and then cold, passing through the skin with ease. It was fairly annoying, horrible for the skin, but I did not let the camera crew see my discomfort. I turned to them and a collective sweat bead appeared above them, in one of those speech boxes; probably due to my previous outburst. I inhaled hard, bringing my hand up as if to shield me, taking a step back with a type of surprised face. I had let them see me get angry again, which was not good for the movie, not in the least. We'd have to edit that part out. But for now, we had some monsters to take care of, according to this geezer. I hope my dice rolls are good...

[/font]

[Solus]

"HETEROSEXUAL! You're the only fag I see here! Riding around on your rainbow peacock like Prince's protege! Douche!" A vein would pop in Solus's forehead. Pointing to his bird of paradise a response would be formed in an equal amount of decibels. "THIS IS A COLLECTORS ITEM!!! At least my sleeves are still attached to my coat, which is not pink for heavens sake! Tranny!" Crossing his arms again he would pout a bit... Why was he responding to a person that was making such big errors in his UBBC coding?

Another guy came in, this one seemed to be suffering from fear of commitment. Any headband that might have been had disappeared and even the face was partially covered with a gasmask. He would turn his head to this peculiar individual. "Scared of social interaction, or are you just scared to death just by seeing me and mr... him?" He asked, pointing at the mister in pink on the last word with his thumb. "If you've got any balls, state your name and affiliation, or at least show us your face."

An eerie mist rolled in and the guy in white would respond by signalling something to his team. Even if this mind-reader was what he claimed to be then the very girly action that followed after the fog rolled in seemed to diminish his claims substantially.It was a strange temperature switching mist. Sending a bit of chakra to his eyes in order to increase his view the Genmaster would assess the situation. It was weird, very weird, but after the last Chuunin Exams he had been through he could handle almost everything. A hole and something weird that howls to investigate... Yup, that made my day.

[/blockquote]

[Asakuro]

A laugh would emmit from the mouth of Asakuro as he watched the two argue. The words of the old man were half listened to as half of his attention went to the two other people yelling about. A staff would leave Asakuro's body as he handed it over to Rafiki who was just standing next to Asakuro, rather confused.

Once the man who rode the rainbow bird tried to talk big to Asakuro he would reply without hesitation.

"I'm not scared of either of you... The gas mask is to protect myself from whatever the hell might be in there."

Asakuro would remove the gas mask for a second to reveal his face to the rainbow rider. After a few seconds he would place the mask back on.

"The name is Asakuro... Care to state your own... If there is anyone without balls I would have to think it's you...

As the trio began their walk into the mist, Asakuro would simply take a step in before letting himself sort of get used to the mist and would then continue. Asakuro hadn't said anything to the other guy 'cause he couldn't really figure him out yet... He acted differently a lot, already. As his vision began to leave, due to the mist, Asakuro would also send chakra into his eyes. With his Sharingan active he would continue on this journey. This would be quite the mission...

[Katsumaru]

[An'ei Sekitan]

[Solus]

"I'm not scared of either of you... The gas mask is to protect myself from whatever the hell might be in there. The name is Asakuro... Care to state your own... If there is anyone without balls I would have to think it's you..." The Genmaster would claps his hands in front of his mouth and proclaim a long "Ooooh!" Before truly formulating his response. "He's not scaaaared. I didn't ask if we were scaring you, but if 'social interaction' was. But that statement was so convincing!" Turning his head he would speak directly to the guy in pink and white. "And did you hear? He already learned to repeat my words, isn't it cute?" Pulling a bit of ooze from his hair and splatting it on the ground a final statement would be made at this gasmask kiddo: "Are you always this stupid, or are you making a special effort today?"

The good news was that the old fool and the mist would suddenly be gone after a yell and a nice explosion. The bad news still heavily outweighed this though, as he was still stuck with a metrosexual and some paranoid/uncreative person. The first one was funny in a way, but all the latter one could was repeating the insult the Genmaster had just made himself, and indirectly confirming what had been stated before by that very same person. And then there was this gross ooze that now covered his front, this stuff would be impossible to get out of his hair... Using his skill in Suiton he would make the ooze slowly glide away from him, but keeping his focus on the main thing ahead: their argument.

[color=fuchsia“What‘s that Futa Queen? I can‘t hear you over the sound of your dress! You get that from a women‘s fashion catalog?! You Futanari!”

[/color] Thoughtful he would scratch his chin, despite the other person being very occupied with investigating the hermits 'remains' he would raise his voice. "Even if I was a Futanari there'd be people watching me, I guess you need a license to look that ugly...

“Enough bickering. It is time for us to be heroes. We need to enter the whole and find out what happened to this man, slay the beast, rescue any damsels, and come out looking good. Are you guys ready?” It appeared that the time for action finally came, it was about time. "Slaying beasts, saving damsels... Yes, that sounds like a fine plan, not necessarily that we need to do both and in that order, but in general, a good plan..."

As they would start to move, he would shoo his bird into the air as the avian could obviously not go underground. Just for the conveniency of the moment Solus would follow the instructions of the other guy who appeared to be quite talkative. "Oh, I haven't introduced myself yet, Minamoto Solus is the name." Starting to move his feet he would add a most important statement: "I call dibs on the damsels, you guys can have the monsters."[/size][/blockquote]

[Asakuro]

Was the Rainbow Rider partially retarded? Solus HAD asked if he was scared of them.. Talk about short term memory loss. Hopefully the other guy wasn't a bumbling idiot as well.

"Haha. Are you an idiot? You DID ask me that. Talk about short term memory loss."

Jun 23, 2010 15:15:53 GMT -7 Solus said:

"Scared of social interaction, or are you just scared to death just by seeing me and mr... him?";

[/quote]
It was quite obvious that the Rainbow Rider had no idea what the hell he was saying anymore so there wasn't much reason to continue the frivolous argument with him.

As sight returned and a scream could be heard, the goo would splatter over Asakuro, Solus, and a camera man. As Solus rid himself of the goo, Asakuro would wipe it off bit by bit. It'd take a while but he had plenty of time as he waited for Zelos to finish inspecting the body. Asakuro didn't really have much to say about the old man's death, so the only thing that was left was to follow the guy with the map. He seemed to be quite interesting, especially with his camera crew.

As the wind blew and all three of us looked epic in the scenes being captured by the camera crew, we would all begin our true journey to the cave. How long till the fights begin--

[Katsumaru]

[/color][/i]

The thick mist shrouded the sinister thing of a man for all but a moment and when it has disappeared nothing was left in its place. Nothing expect the entrance to the Hole.

Was this distorted being truly a man or a simple illusion? What does it have to do with this Hole? Why does it warn them? So, so many curiosities.
[/ul]

[An'ei Sekitan]

[Solus]

Why do I have to be stuck with a metrosexual and a smart-ass genius with an IQ of six? Grumbling and contemplating on the unfairness of life and the cruelty of fate the Genmaster would step forth, until there would suddenly appear and oozy demon.

It would say a few words, making the Genmaster giggle as it disappeared. "A monster, and it rhymed! It whas a rhymy monster!" Squid dancing at this newest discovery of funniness the Genmaster would follow the metrosexual in the cave.

[/blockquote]

Short but meh, no inspiration.

[Asakuro]

Asakuro and his baboon would listen to the words of the monster as they continued on. As the monster/man disappeared and the males that were travelling with the Uchiha began to walk, Asakuro would follow; Rafiki as well. What was to come?--

Sharingan Still Active until stated otherwise--

And the three brave men venture into the horror that awaits below.

As the group of three walker deeper and deeper into the earths the rugged terrain of nature was no more, but rather the walls adopted a light brown shape as if they were crafted by some sorts of sentient being. That notion of sentience was supported further by the tribal drawings etched into the walls. Walking further revealed other, more detailed drawings of shapes and figures most oddly contorted – five eyed triangular faces covered in tentacles. Lastly a word was repetitively written onto the wall, Kh’arlagh. Each step only allowed the screeching of the beasts to intensify, ring through the eardrums so viciously that one cannot even avoid the sounds by stuffing cloth into their ears.

The Room

[/center][/b]

The three would enter a large room illuminated by soft, blue torches, casting an eerie, unnatural shading upon this newly discovered space. The screeching of the monstrosities reached a new, unmatched height and the origin appeared to be not so far away. Beyond the lighting of the torches deep, thick shadows lingered in motion, the slithering of tentacles mingling with the chanting of the name Kh’arlagh which echoed through the walls. Three passages stood on the other side of this room, approximately fifty meters away. Where these passages lead? That is something that cannot be distinguished at the moment. A matter of discovery, it would seem.
[/ul]

[Solus]

Coal missed his IIC I guess >.>

Descending further into the cave the Genmaster would notice that the screeches got more horrible as they approached whatever it was that made that noise. Beautiful runes and decorations would mark the walls, merely taking note of these and locking their façade into his memory the Genmaster would continue, finding himself in a room, lit by azure flaming torches. Blue fire? which element made fire blue again? Wasn't it cobalt? Better remember this...

"Kh’arlagh? That sounds like someone vomiting doesn't it?" Solus would whisper to his two teammates as he would place his hands together. Parting them once again after making a few zodiac animal representations. Seemingly nothing had happened, but whispering to his allies he would beckon them as he would enter the tunnel he saw in the distance that was the most to the right. "We are invisible to the eye now, if we stay close together that will remain that way." He would whisper to the other two as they would enter the tunnel.

Invisibility Sphere
Rank: "C" "b" Rank
Skill: GenJutsu
Effect: A technique that confers invisibility upon all creatures within the distance of ten meters
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: Affected creatures (other than the recipient) that attack negate the invisibility only for themselves. The Jutsu ends if the subject attacks any creature. If the user who performs the technique attacks, the invisibility sphere ends. When the user learns the "B" Rank version then those who are affected stays invisible, or if they attack an opponent. However, no matter what if the user who performs this technique attacks will always have the Jutsu ended when they attack.
Description: A technique that has a distance of that of ten meters from the user or who the user touches. The center of the effect is mobile with the recipient. The creature or object included becomes invisible, vanishing from sight, even from dark vision. If the recipient is a creature carrying gear, that vanishes, too. Those affected by this Jutsu can see each other and themselves as if unaffected by the Jutsu. Any affected creature moving out of the area becomes visible, but creatures moving into the area after the Jutsu are cast do not become invisible. Items dropped or put down by an invisible creature become visible; items picked up disappear if tucked into the clothing or pouches worn by the creature. Light, however, never becomes invisible, although a source of light can become so (thus, the effect is that of a light with no visible source). Of course, the subject is not silenced, and certain other conditions can render the recipient detectable (such as stepping in a puddle). Actions directed at unattended objects do not break the Jutsu. Causing harm indirectly is not an attack. Thus, an invisible being can open doors, talk, eat, climb stairs, summon monsters and have them attack, cut the ropes holding a rope bridge while enemies are on the bridge, remotely trigger traps, open a portcullis to release attack dogs, and so forth.
Limit: Must know Glamour Perception of GenJutsus, Must know Invisibility

[Katsumaru]

[/i] mouth opened wide and the screech which had been scouring the lands burst forth, ringing and echoing in the passage.

The Genmaster was invisible and the creature remained entirely unaware as it was still a bit in the distance, not able to hear the steps from that range of twenty-five meters. Its exact size was difficult to judge, for few torches cast their light upon the grounds were it slithered.[/ul]

[Solus]

The Genmaster would freeze in his tracks when a spherical shape loomed in front of him. The entity revealing itself to be some weird tentacle monster was the last thing he had expected. Turning around his head he would notice that he had lost track of where his two allies had gone to. Bunch of wankers! Walking out on me when things get serious. Standing as still as possible as the creature screeched.

It looked gruesome, like a mass of tentacles that moved together, seemingly attached to each other. Since it had no normal humanoid or animal form it was to be defined as a monstrosity, and thus it would be better to relieve the world of it's presence.

Suppressing a sigh the Genmaster would send some chakra to his eyes, activating the Ryuugan. Running forward as he did some handseals he would cover around five meters towards the creature when he would reach for his fan. Coming to a halt the giant device would be flicked open and charged with several different types of chakra.

Swinging the wooden cooling device at the critter the Genmaster would produce a wind that was infused with electricity forced into the shape of little leaves. Getting caught in the narrow space the attack would soon span the entirety of the tunnel. Shooting forth the gust of wind would reach it's destination, cutting of many of the tentacles and paralysing whatever remained. Since it apparently had no real appendages to speak of the attack would just be spread evenly over the entirety of the monster.

Ryuugan mastery
Rank: “B” Rank.
Skill: Kekkei genkai.
Effect: Makes the user able to activate the Ryuugan without the use of a handseal and reduce the headache duration by 1/3.
Special: ---
Drawback: Activating the bloodlimit without the handseal costs a “D”-rank worth of more chakra. Must have 500 TP into the clans jutsus.
Description: The reason why a Ryuugan user gets a headache after using bloodlimit jutsu is because it tires out the mind and senses (especially the sense of sight) a little bit.
When a user has trained a lot into these techniques, those things will change a little. Their senses will grow less tired, which reduces the headache duration a little bit (i.e. a ninjutsu that gives a headache for 6 posts will only last for 4).
Also, the user do not need to do the handseal in order to activate the bloodlimit anymore: if they use a tad bit extra chakra, the bloodlimit will activate itself without the handseal.
Limit: Must have Kazeraikou clans Ryuugan. Automatically gained when you have 500 TP into the clan's ninjutsus.

Ryuugan.
Rank: “C” Rank.
Skill: Ninjutsu/bloodlimit jutsu.
Effect: Activates the Ryuugan and makes the users senses more sensitive.
Special: Dragon.
Drawback: Takes a little chakra. User will be more sensitive to taijutsus, ninjutsus and genjutsus that target the senses.
Loud sounds, strong smells, noise, strong lights and such will also be more troublesome for the user. Experienced users will be more used to this though. Please RP accordingly.
Description: When the Ryuugan is activated, it causes have a number of effects; the reaction span will be shortened since the sense of sight, hearing and feeling are increased. Taijutsu specialist or masters will benefit the most from this.
The sense of vision increases the most; the user will be able to read a book that is 12 meters away. The vision range widens from 180 degrees to 210 and the user is able to use the Ryuugan ninjutsus.
Jutsus based on lightning will be amplified with 13% (ninjutsu specialist or master) or 9% (ninjutsu non-specialist), and the user can control very strong lightning ninjutsu with lower risks than those who do not have Ryuugan.
Wind jutsus might be easier to perform if you are a medic or a ninjutsu/clan specialist or master. But the user cannot control things/others jutsus with high power; the max is “C”-ranked jutsus.
That means that they can weaken the jutsu a tiny little bit, change direction a bit or slow it down so they can avoid it. Please RP accordingly.
Limit: Must be member of the Kazeraikou clan. Have to know Lightning release and how to read.

Raiton ha arashi (Lightning leaf storm).
Rank: “B” Rank.
Skill: Ninjutsu/bloodlimit jutsu.
Effect: Makes a storm with electrical leaves.
Special: Dragon, ram, tiger and snake.
Drawback: The user will have a headache for three turns. Accuracy drops with 10%, and you need an umbrella or a fan.
Description: After the seals are done, a storm will whip up and 18 small leaves will ‘emerge’ from the user’s body. These leaves are actually electric and made out of chakra. The storm is a tad bit weaker than the Dai Kamatachi. If a part of your body (i.e. an arm) is hit by three leaves, it will be paralyzed for a turn. Each leaf is about 3 inches long and 1 1/2 inch broad. The wind does not do much damage: it can make a small-medium deep cut in someone’s skin if it is not covered by something. The focus is on the paralyzation. The range is from 0-25 meters.
Limit: Kazeraikou clans Ryuugan. Wind and lightning release and Higashi boufuu. Need an umbrella or a fan (medium or large).
