[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.]

It does not happen often, but I would not be surprised... please, do not endanger yourself for the sake of new skills!

Oh, don't worry! I won't do anything like that. I uuuusually don't get into dangerous situations, so it's fine! Now, follow me--the store is this way!

[He feels assured enough to follow her.]

That is good. So... the store shall have my clothing? [He's moving with a spring in his step without his weights to hold him back.]

[She nods, hair bouncing.]

Yes! I mean, they usually do. I dooonn't know why they don't just leave you your clothes, though.

It would be most courteous of whoever is responsible - as would leaving me on solid ground.

Well, the Mal-Noses--the people in charge here? They're a little...odd.

Odd? Please tell me that they spared a youth as pure as yourself from something so shameful!

I'm afraid not! They make everyone show up in New Feather clothes like you did.

[Of course, she doesn't catch his meaning.]

Such indecency! The sheer cruelty of those monsters, to leave you so exposed!

[...She's not sure what the big deal is, but she supposes it must just be world differences.]

...I didn't really think about it like that. Oh well!

To think of it so lightly... you must be a stronger woman than I would ever be! [Or a scandalous one... but, no! Lee must not think such slander about his savior.]

Oh--don't say that! I'm sure you'd be a very strong woman!

[She just wants to be supportive. Especially to someone new.]

Thank you, Rapunzel-san. Your faith in me and my prospects as a woman is overwhelming, and we have just met!

[Well, she just thought it was polite, but she does believe it!]

You might get to see what it's like some time! Weeeeeird things happen around here.

W-what? This place can teach me the experiences of a woman? This sounds... odd.

Well, it IS a very odd place...sometimes men turn into women, adults turn into children, and people turn into animals! It's SO weird! But it's just a part of being here.

I have never seen or imagined such an odd or peculiar place! But I shall prepare myself for this challenge! And you yourself... do you hail from another 'world' as well, Rapunzel-san?

[She nods.] I do! My world is pretty different than this one...but it doesn't look too different. What's your world like, Rockly?

I see. My world has five great shinobi nations. And each nation has several hidden villages where ninjas such as myself are raised and taught to be proper shinobi. We use our various abilities to carry out missions and tasks locally as well as for other nations, and we - we act as military when the need arises.

[Ooooh.

...Yeah, this sounds very complicated and intense. Missions and military and all that--certainly not things she encountered before arriving in Luceti.]

You must be very smart and strong, then!

[He blushes slightly.]

Y-yes, you could say I am. I am a master of taijutsu, and they call me the Green Beast of Konoha for my prowess.

The...Green Beast of Konoha? What does that mean?

Konoha is the name of my village! Green is the color of my usual clothing! And "beast" describes my prowess!

[Ah. Well. So he's not an actual beast. Since she, you know. Knows one of those.]

Aha! Well, I'm sure green is a very nice color on you. And being a beast isn't a bad thing, either! And I'm sure your village is very nice.

Thank you, Rapunzel-san! I am glad that you approve of all three. And once I have my proper clothes, I hope that my compatibility with green meets your expectations!
