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.]

Well, you see! This kind of bond often calls for close physical contact. Such as hugging and kissing! And it is usually connected to a desire to form a family!

Thank you! I believe I am doing quite well already.

[friendshipfirst]

Physical contact?

[ ...... oh! ]

It sounds kind o' like that one friendship Cilan was talkin' t' me about! A ... couple I think it was.

That's great! What are you're dreams?

[ video ]

[niceguypose]

Yes! This kind of love unites people as couples! It is very heartwarming.

My dreams... are to become a great ninja and protect those precious to me!

[ video ]

[friendshipfirst]

That's really cool that Couples get a special day! But... what doesn't other kinds of buddies do too?

[ He... totally did not hear the 'love' part. ]

woaah you're a ninja?!

[ video ]

[niceguypose]

Every day should be a day for friendship!

I am definitely a ninja. I have worked hard to come this far!

[ video ]

[friendshipfirst]

Yeah it should! Why is it only on this day and with only one type of friendship? We could at least have one for best friends and maybe one for rivals too!

So cool! What kind o' thing can y' do?!

[ video ]

[niceguypose]

A day... for rivals?! [His eyes flare at the very thought.]

[ video ] 2/2

[niceguypose]

[Oh and he asked a question too. The flames die down for a moment.]

You are asking me of my skills?

[ video ]

[friendshipfirst]

Yeah! A day where you will challenge all your rivals in something and see who wins!

[ he nods ] Can y' tell me?

[ video ]

[niceguypose]

I would love such a day! It must be declared.

Of course I will tell you! Primarily... my skills are of a physical nature. I am a master of taijutsu!

[ video ]

[friendshipfirst]

Yeah! What day would it be on though?

That's really cool! Could you show me your skills sometime?

[ video ]

[niceguypose]

Ah... I do not know! How are such days typically decided?

I will show you my skills at any time! I would even spar with you! [Ash walk away now for the good of your bones.]

[ video ]

[friendshipfirst]

I dunno. Maybe they just pick a random day. [ no ash no that's not how it works ]

Great! I can't wait! Do y' mean spar with my Pokemon?

[ video ]

[niceguypose]

Is that so? Then... we would need to find a process of true randomization!

Ah... the Pokemon? I suppose that they would pose a unique challenge! But I would like to spar with you yourself as well. That is part of the road of self-improvement!

[ video ]

[friendshipfirst]

Yeah! Maybe we could pick one out of a hat or somethin'!

Uhh but I never sparred before so I'm not very strong.

[ video ]

[niceguypose]

We could! In that case, going by this world's calender... we would need only 365 slips of paper!

You have never sparred? If you do not start... you will only get weaker! [Sometimes being friends with Lee is like joining a boot camp.]

[ video ]

[friendshipfirst]

364 slips of paper! I can do that! Then we can draw 'em from my hat!

If I got strong like that would I become a stronger Pokemon trainer? [ NO ASH DON'T DO IT ]

[ video ]

[niceguypose]

Yes! That sounds like the most fair option!

Of course you would! Young Trainer... You will definitely be stronger as a trainer when you can spar with your own Pokemon!

[ video ]

[friendshipfirst]

Okay! I'll let y' know when 'm done!

Well, okay! I'll give it a try! [ Maybe he could be like Chuck or Brycen! ...... maybe. ]

[ video ]

[niceguypose]

I anticipate your updates!

[Maybe he could! or he could just be horribly beaten over and over.] Excellent! I would spar with you whenever you would like!

[ video ]

[friendshipfirst]

[ It would likely be the latter let's be real here ] Uh.. yeah! I think I might wanna train a bit before that though!

[ video ]

[niceguypose]

Very well! Take your time with your personal training! And while I wait until you are ready, I will be training hard as well! This will be... so exciting!

[ video ]

[friendshipfirst]

Don't worry, I will! [ Maybe a little more than Lee will want him too oops ] Good luck with you're trainin'! And yeah, it will...! [ Not... really... ]

[ video ]

[niceguypose]

I will wish you luck as well... my newfound friend!

[ video ]

[friendshipfirst]

Thanks, you too! You can call me Ash and this is Pikachu!
