Fourth Gate [Action/Video]

[Action]

[Lee is back in action on a brand new day. In the morning, before performing his usual workouts, he takes some time to prepare curried chicken soup to deliver to Rapunzel, assuming she still has her cold. And afterwards, amongst his jogs around the village and general intense workout routines, he takes some more time to prepare for his and Sora's Christmas plan.

Ever since that talk with Sora, Lee has set a new goal for himself and has started undergoing preparations. He doubts that this "Santa" will show up here in Luceti; so he plots to become Santa. He stops at the library and reads several books to get ideas of what different worlds and cultures think of this man, who must be nothing other than a Hokage-class ninja. Maybe even more powerful... His other stops include the item and clothing shops to collect accessories associated with this holiday, often with not-so-subtle attempts to be covert. He may spend some time people watching for signs of actions both benevolent or dubious. And finally, he spends some time running along the beach to collect as many seashells as he can carry to help Sora make them into what he calls "wayfinders".

But even so, he feels uneasy about this plan. What if there are key parts of Santa's legacy he is missing? How is he supposed to determine the difference between nice and naughty? And what if they want something other than seashells? So he decides to take to the journals, without playing his hand.]

Rock Lee here! Konoha's Beautiful Green Wild Beast! And I come with good news for this holiday season. I have it on good authority that the one known as "Santa" shall be arriving for the beloved Christmas holiday! And - and I am doing my best to act as his ears, eyes, mouth and every other body part! So, I will accept any intelligence that you have freely. For example, the sleeping schedules of yourselves and others, and who you would classify as "nice" or "naughty", including your own honest assessment of yourself. Finally, what would your ideal Christmas present be? I can communicate all of your wishes to the mighty Santa-sama all in due time!

... Lee, Why do you need to know people's sleeping schedules?

[Is his roommate turning into a stalker or something 8|]
reminded: (There's no need to worry.)

[How enterprising.]

I'm certain Mr. Claus will appreciate the assistance. Have you been in contact with him?
rashness: (Community...?!)

You know Santa?!


...Santa is real?!
reminded: (Let's have a look.)

Ah, so it's top secret. Of course. Then I suppose it wouldn't do well for me to obstruct your investigation.

My name is Hershel Layton. I would like to think I've behaved myself over the past year, but you may want to get a second opinion on that. On the other hand, I think I can say with confidence that my flatmates Luke, Maiza, and [Czeslaw] Benjamin would qualify for the "nice" list.

So he's a spy.

[Color Neji distinctly unimpressed.]

I could cover the sleeping habits of this village, if I wanted to burn through all my chakra and demolish every last trace of decent behavior I ever learned. Can does not mean should.

...Ino's cousin? What's he have to do with any of this?

[Wow he was only unconscious for five days, what did he miss.]
screw_fate: (Headtilt)

[personal profile] screw_fate 2012-12-14 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
How is tracking the sleeping patterns of everyone in the village supposed to be decent or innocent?

This Santa sounds like a pervert.
rashness: (Homura...)

[personal profile] rashness 2012-12-14 03:33 am (UTC)(link)
Because he's... you know, a kid's story?! It's seriously something that you've got down?
endgames: (Maybe)

[Voice]

[personal profile] endgames 2012-12-14 04:46 am (UTC)(link)
[He sounds groggy, and frankly feeling like shit, but this is a good distraction from things.]

Yamanaka Santa. Kinda tall, brown hair... or wait. [He's been here for two Christmases; it's trickling back now.] Did you mean the fat old guy?
endgames: (No seriously)

[personal profile] endgames 2012-12-14 05:08 am (UTC)(link)
Troublesome.
reminded: (Let me have a closer look...)

[Let's see... He should probably lock this part away. With a puzzle, of course.]

Luke is fond of stuffed animals and plays the violin. Maiza likes to read and play cards, though I suspect he would enjoy any kind of game entertainment. As for Benjamin, I believe he likes aeroplanes.
endgames: (Riiiiight)

Maybe if he actually did it. I didn't see a guy like that the last two Christmases I was here.
reminded: (This is a tricky one...)

[Rock's phrasing reminds him of an alien... But he does seem to be trying his best.]

He does, which may limit the possibilities in that area. Perhaps a book of violin compositions would work just as well?
