[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.]

This one does not involve plants. Last time, it was more of a... direct shift. It can be active at all times.

And what should I expect to be doing? Or expect to have to stop you from doing?

For yourself, you may find yourself... suddenly in love with others. And if I exhibit the same things, I must be stopped from acting on it! After all, it can only end in a heartbreak.

Right, and how should I stop you? I mean...not that I mind or anything...but how far are you okay with me going?

Ah... I suppose that any injury that I can recover from will be permissible!

[And Lee will be treated to the sound of a knife scraping along a whetstone.]

Alright. And I guess right back at you. If I start acting all funny, try and stop me.

[That... is a bit unnerving.]

Ah... y- yes. I will do my best to protect your dignity, Anko-sensei!

I appreciate that.

Now, you're training for the jounin exams, huh?

That is correct! I am very excited, Anko-sensei! Do you think Gai-Sensei would be proud?

I do. I think he'd probably ramble about something...youthful. But I'm not gonna. I do recommend being careful though.

Ah... Yes, that does sound like something he would say. But, please do not worry! I shall exercise all manners of caution!

Good. I'd hate to think of your blood dripping from trees, and me not there to enjoy it. Or get you home, whichever.

[See Lee? She does care.]

If you need a training partner, I'll help. But I won't be going easy on you, kay?

[He's touched. And maybe a bit freaked out.]

I would not expect you to! I may need all the help that I can get... so I would be glad to train with you! [He thinks.]

Alrightie. We'll start whenever, just drop me a line, okay?

[She actually means it, too.]

I will most certainly keep in touch, Anko-sensei. You can count on it!
