niceguypose | Ninth Gate [Video/Action] Joint with Rapunzel and Ikki!

[Video]

[Rock Lee is framed in front of the forest, facing his open journal. And several feet to either side are none other than Rapunzel and Ikki, both now with their own green jumpsuits. Rapunzel stands tall (as tall as her petite build will let her, anyway) with her hands on her hips, looking intensely off into the middle-distance. Ikki stands short, since she’s several heads taller than the other girl (...whoops), and her own stance is automatically something more native to an airbender, although she’s trying to look serious. She may or may not be trying not to giggle, though. ]

Youth! It is the most passionate and heartbreaking time of our lives. The springtime of youth! And it is a time that need never end. Just look at Gai-Sensei! His youth is preserved with age. And so our youth shall endure through our springtime of youth! Behold! Two of my own students here in Luceti... Rapunzel-san, also known as the Glamorous Yellow Tunneling Horror! And Ikki-chan, the Gracefully Circling Pink Bird of Prey! They are loyal and formidable. As for me, I am Konoha's Beautiful Green Wild Beast, Rock Lee! Together, we represent the future of Luceti!

[He does punches and kicks at the air.]

Yeah, it’s the springtime of youth! [ Ikki sounds fairly enthusiastic, although then she relaxes to derail herself, baffled. ] ...Although actually isn’t it the summertime of youth, ‘cause I’m pretty sure it’s summer... [ She’s not 100% sure what Lee means sometimes. Most times. ]

[ Rapunzel breaks form for a moment, puzzled. Ikki raises a valid point... ] Couldn’t summer be the time of youth, too? Shouldn’t we be youthful all year round?

That is correct! Just as youth is for all times of life, so does the springtime of youth extend for the whole year! [He gives a nice guy pose and then focuses back at the video feed.] Lately, as an extension of our youth, I have focused my training on the attainment of flight. It is a dream many laugh at and mock... much like most youthful dreams of youth! But I see the truth. The other month, the spirits possessed us, and our wings became incredible and graceful! So I believe, more earnestly than ever, that proper training can break us through this chrysalis phase we are currently in... and we shall all become flight-capable youths! Being here for a year, myself... I can almost feel the metamorphosis occurring! Join us if you wish. Let all us like-minded youths assemble... a flying flight club of flying youths!

The sky’s the limit!

Exactly! YOUTH FULL POWER!

[And with that, they all make matching nice guy poses - flashing thumbs up to the camera matched with shining smiles.]

[Action]

[One can also find the three embroiled in a training session in the forest!]

[Responses will come from... all three of them?!]

Hopscotch?

[ do you dare challenge her to this game Masaomi ]

Oh, I'd love to see a hopscotch battle!

[Oh my God they're breeding]

Not quite what I meant, again! Though in this case I'd even go for it!

I would also find such a battle entertaining! But perhaps you should clarify Masaomi-kun.

What would be better than a HOPSCOTCH battle?

Yes, tell us!

I actually meant a pokemon battle, Ikki! You know, to be a bit old fashioned here!

Ah, a battle between your fearsome beasts! Ikki-chan, what do you think of this challenge?!

Well, it's not like I mind, but Soren's not here. He's at home.

...He, uh, thinks this is kinda silly.

[ FOR SOME REASON. ]

Oh, but I've never seen a Pokemon battle! [ It sounds fascinating. ]

Well, it doesn't have to be now. After all, a pokemon battle is a pretty intense affair! The challenge's got to be something taken seriously.

Masaomi-kun is correct, Ikki-chan. This matter must be regarded with utmost seriousness.

Edited 2013-07-21 17:57 (UTC)

Well, sometime, sure. Soren likes to battle.

[ Ikki's less eager about them, but she doesn't mind as such; it's sort of like sparring. ]

Will you be sure to let me know when it is? I'd love to see it.

Mmmm, you're ready for that sort of step, Ikki? After all, these sorts of things are mentally and emotionally exhausting now and again. Not to mention physically demanding and slightly dangerous.

Ikki-chan. Are you ready for such a challenge? I would think no less of you if you are not yet truly ready.

Ummm...I guess I could train more?

[ She's getting so confused. ]

If you think you can handle it, you should go for it!

[Mmm] We'd have to get permission and watching from Katara or Aang-kun is all I mean, unless Lee-kun here has that right.

It would be outside my jurisdiction. I only have permission to give Ikki-chan some lessons in physical improvement without endangering her.

Ikki-chan! You must speak to your youthly grandparents sometime. Ask their permission for this decisive battle!

Oh, sure! I'll ask 'em when I get home tonight.

Let us know what they say!

I'll wait with baited breath!

[...For Katara to kill him]

Very well! I'll be interested in hearing the results, myself.

Um, I'll let everyone know for sure, then! If it's a no, we can just do something else together, I guess?
