[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.]

[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!

I'm looking forward to it! [And speaking of which--] Ah, here we are! The clothes shop. Do you want me to wait for you?

Yes, I would appreciate that, Rapunzel-san. The less I am seen in my shame, the better. You shall next see me at my best!

[He darts into the shop - and because of his lack of weights he moves inhumanly fast. Some loud crashing is soon heard from inside.]

[...Oh, dear. That didn't sound good. He didn't fight his way to his clothing, did he? Such interesting people she meets around here...]

[There's the sound of some loud apologizing and clothing being shuffled around. Then some minutes of quiet before footsteps approach the door, slowly and dramatically.]

[Rapunzel stands and waits, even though she's still very curious about what is going on in the store. Should she go in and--oh, but there's the sounds of footsteps.]

[Rock Lee bursts through the door, clad in his green jumpsuit and flak jacket. He gives a thumbs up while flashing a shining grin.]

Behold! It is I, Rock Lee, now fully garbed!

[Aha! Now she can definitely understand the "green" part of his formal title.]

Welcome back! Your clothes are DEFINITELY very green. I like them!

Why thank you! I am glad you approve of them, Rapunzel-san. I feel closer to my old self again, now that I am no longer in a shameful conditon!

[He practices some punches and kicks in place - not towards Rapunzel, of course.]

[And look at those moves. She's starting to see the bigger picture here.]

Excellent! Then the next thing might be...are you hungry?

Huh... yes, I believe I am! It's been some time since I last had any rations. Thank you for your concern, Rapunzel-san.

Of course! I'm more than happy to help. This way--I'll take to Seventh Heaven! They have the most AMAZING food you can possibly dream of!

[And she starts to lead the way.]

I have dreamed of many amazing foods! I cannot wait - the name itself implies heavenliness in this food! But... I have no money on me.

Oh! That's something else you should know about this place. Everything is free! There's no money.

[Which has always kind of been the case for her. But still!]
