First Gate [Video/Action]

[niceguypose]

[Video]

[The video feed suddenly kicks in with the sound of rushing winds and the sight of a blue sky. And soon, falling into view is bushy-browed teenager with a bowlcut, confusion and panic written all over his face.

Upon arrival, Rock Lee and his book open have begun freefalling through the sky to towards the village. Lee keeps his eyes focused on the open book and pushes himself through the air to get a closer look. Just enough to tell that it's some kind of communication device... and that it seems to be recording his face, and his movements.

Can they hear him, too? A million thoughts rush through his head. What happened? Where did everyone go? Why am I floating through the sky? Somebody help me down! But... if people could see him, he wouldn't want to look weak, would he? He's Rock Lee, after all. The Green Beast of Konoha. He can figure out a way out of this.

What would Gai Sensei do?

So he opts to force on a smile, one full of shining teeth, and he flashes a thumbs up towards the camera and shouts as loud as he can.]

DYNAMIC... ENTRY!

[Lee can find his way down. After all, his training weights are gone. He feels so light.]

[Action]

[If anyone misses out on the high-paced action, they can find Lee after he lands - either traveling to the item shop for his headband, weights and equipment or to the clothing shop for his valued green jumpsuit and vest. He'll also jog around to survey the village and some of the forest afterwards, eager to greet his new neighbors in the process.]

[A confused stare at the screen. His eyebrows look like they're growing in intensity.]

What?!

[niceguypose]

Ah... I would not like to trouble you, Young Miss! I am sure that I can find my own way down safely, if I apply myself!

[video]

[niceguypose]

Yes, of course! Gai Sensei is the type of man whom everyone would benefit from meeting one day! He knows so much about the burdens of youth, and his wisdom is endless!

[niceguypose]

I'm afraid not. This world is the only with life on it, after all, so it is the only one which needs protection!

It is a metaphor due to my skills! I am not sure what beast I would associate myself with, but I do not consider myself worthy of dragonhood!

[breezing]

'Cept that's wrong, 'cause we're from different worlds.

Ummm, well, I hope it's a beast that learns how to fly!

[Action/Video]

[niceguypose]

I shall gladly stake my life in trusting you, for I can tell that your beauty contains no deception!

[He falls down through the shield, and... what do you know? He feels himself slowing down, so that he comes to a halt on the ground. The first think Lee manages is a thumbs up.]

[niceguypose]

Such an imaginative youth! It fills me with such hope for the future generation. This is a beast who has learned many things that were once thought impossible. Why can I not hope to fly as well? And... what is your name, Young Miss?

[gleamed]

[Boooooy you gonna apply yourself like a pancake on the ground.]

Are you sure? ...I think I can see you! I can catch you with my hair!

[Action/Video]

[shieldsup]

Well aren't you just the sweetest.

[She drops the shield as he lands and walks over]

That was pretty dynamic, young man.

[Action/Video]

[niceguypose]

[The journal landed on the floor near his feet, forgotten, possibly now recording the ground. He laughs and bows to the woman.]

Oh, thank you, Miss! I hope my sensei would be proud. And thank you for softening my fall, as well! I am eternally grateful.

[niceguypose]

Your... your hair? You know such a jutsu?

[Looking down towards one of the rooftops nearby, he thinks he see a figure. ...And shining gold hair. He gapes in pure shock.]

[breezing]

Hey, mister, if I'm not being imaginative will you teach me ninja things? And I'm Ikki!

[niceguypose]

It is nice to meet you, Ikki! And if I see you in person, I will be glad to teach you ninja things, no matter what amount of imagination you have!

[breezing]

Really? Well, I'd really really like that!

Hey, do you see any familiar stuff below you? I'm gonna go outside, and I can at least be ready to make you an air cushion or something.

[Action]

[shieldsup]

I'm sure he would be. That was quite an entrance you made. Foolish, but memorable. Does your sensei condone such reckless behavior?

[niceguypose]

It would be my honor, Ikki-chan! I am afraid that I do not recognize the landscape below me. I have no idea where I have been dropped into. There are a number of buildings, and I think there is a fountain.

[Action]

[niceguypose]

He believes that some amount of recklessness is inevitable for a youth such as myself - and that we must always push our limits to become stronger. But I am also encouraged to be reserved, when the time is right.

[breezing]

That's familiar enough for me! Is the fountain right under you, or more to the side?

[ She's clearly moving outside now, and figures she'll angle towards the fountain at a run, since if he can see things he has to be visible from below, too. ]

[oftheland]

He must be quite an intense individual.

[Action]

[shieldsup]

Thats very good advice. What's your name? I'm Susan. Susan Richards.

[Action]

[niceguypose]

I am Rock Lee! It is a pleasure to meet you, Susan-san.

[video]

[niceguypose]

[Rock Lee "swims" through the air to get a closer look at the book, so that his face nearly fills the screen.]

His intensity is unrivaled, sir!

[niceguypose]

It... it is to the side, it would seem, Ikki-chan! But please do not come near! I would not want you to be caught in my own landing.

[breezing]

Don't worry! If you're still not sure how to land, I can definitely help you, 'kay? This is something my Daddy does all the time! [ ...Ikki's never really attempted it before right now but hey, no big thing, right? She's not about to tell that to the guy still falling out of the sky. ]

[video]

[oftheland]

I would have to be the judge of that. I've met some pretty intense people in my time.
