Twelfth Gate [Video/Action]

[And here is a bushy-browed youth addressing the video feed, with a mix of anticipation and dread.]

Greetings, people of Luceti! Rock Lee here! Currently, I am training hard so that I can try my hand at becoming a jounin! I would be glad to accept any and all training partners. However... Please only see me before the fourteenth!

After all, I must warn all newer people of the holiday that is coming... the day of the Valentines. On such a day, the Malnosso have been known to use their shifts to twist our emotions! They force on us... the feeling of love! Those who were caught under the mistletoe may have some idea of this effect...

My advice, is to exercise caution! In fact, I intend to seal myself within the Battle Dome once the time comes until I am certain it is over! Please do not come to find me. Alternatively, if you do find me, and I seem to be under the effect of the shift, I ask you to do all that you can to overpower me and keep me restrained until it passes! I thank you all in advance...

[Basically, Lee can be found doing waiting at Seventh Heaven, while training at the same time. He can otherwise be found performing intense training around the village, within the Fllame Building or the forest, or at the Battle Dome.]

You refer to what Gai-Sensei calls the 'bittersweet romance of youth'. However, such a thing is supposed to be caused by our own feelings and mistakes! Not those which are forced upon us by those such as the Malnosso..

Yeah, I see your point. Still, you're going to hide from the Malnosso? Isn't that like letting them win?

It is? How... and if so, how could I possibly aim for victory?

I don't like being messed with, but hiding seems like it's showing them we're actually scared of them. We made it through last Valentine's Day, we can do it again.

Seems the way to win is to let it happen and then show like you don't care after.

_{[ Which was way harder than it sounded, because, him and Katniss... well, awkward tensions there sometimes, even though she was one of his best friends. ]}

Ah...! Could that really be...?

But! Even if I do approach the holiday with that goal... that doesn't mean that those whom we have feelings for will feel the same! It can still make things... more hurtful for others.

That's true. Like I said, I don't like being messed with like that. But I don't like hiding when someone is trying to mess with me either. Besides, I don't hold anyone accountable for the things they do when we have things like this happen. That's unfair of me, you know?

This is true! It sounds sound fair... but others may still be left with hurt feelings in the end! It may be best to prevent such things from happening.

Well, I admire you for trying. Just think of it like rolling with the punches and don't let it get to you to bad, okay?

[niceguypose]

Rolling with the punches? That's a specialty of mine. I won't let you down!

Re: video;

[universal_charm]

I know you won't. Go get 'em!

OSSU!
