Rock Lee's Birthtime of Youth

Who: Rock Lee, his fellow ninja youths, and practically anyone in the village. Anyone.
What: Rock Lee's birthday.
When: Throughout November 27th
Where: The Battle Dome.
Summary: It's Rock Lee's birthday, he should not be allowed near Battle Dome controls.
Rating: Y for Youthful

Today is Rock Lee's birthday. It's hard to say which, however, considering that he has already turned 18 physically and 19 mentally. Regardless, a birthday party was arranged with the help of Lee's friends. Tenten spread some invitations via paper shuriken, while others received notes in their journals. Pretty much anyone who's spoken to Lee, even briefly, has been invited to the birthday party. He even distributed a set of mystery invitations to random strangers, so nearly anyone can show up.

As for details of the party? It's a celebration of youth, in a distinctively Lee-esque way. The Battle Dome simulation takes on the form of Konoha's ninja academy - which isn't too different from a standard school despite the ninja-ing taught within its halls. Some of it has been modified by Lee messing with the controls, however. Specifically, he managed to program in an entire obstacle course, with hurdles to jump, walls to climb and hidden pits to avoid, along with any other generic non-lethal obstacles that come to mind. If you make it into the main room, a wide-open one that is very much like the one in which Rock Lee once kicked Sasuke Uchiha in the face, that is where most of the gathering occurs. The food tables are set up there, and guests are encouraged to challenge each other to battles. There are even a few sparring rings in the room for guests to duke it out within. A simulated version of Maito Gai will also appear in a variety of places, but this programmed version is only capable of giving a thumbs up and saying "Nice job!" after random and often mundane accomplishments.

For the first half of the party? Rock Lee is as energetic as ever. He's really having a blast. But he always seems to be looking around for someone else, someone who never shows. At around the halfway point? He excuses himself from the Battle Dome, and is gone for quite some time. When he finally returns, he is no longer the birthday boy he once was. Rather, he is much more depressed and even more teary-eyed than usual. Avoiding the shenanigans around him, Lee secludes himself in an obscure corner, where he quietly plucks the petals off of flowers. Who knows what he could have found that could have had such an effect?

[Haku had only briefly met the boy before, but from what he did see, he didn't seem like a bad guy. Seeing him moping around made him worry, considering the boy was energetic earlier. He decided to pick a few flowers that he could found and approach him.

Once he was close enough, he offered the makeshift bouquet.]


Happy birthday. Sorry I don't have anything better to offer.

[Tenten doesn't really want to spar. Not really. It's supposed to be a party, wasn't it?!

But she's standing in the middle of the ring and sighing, fighting the urge to roll her eyes as she rests a hand on her hip. But hey, if it was Lee's birthday, and he wanted people sparring, she'd do it. As long as she didn't have to dodge through the obstacle course again with the weird projections of her sensei, thank.

You might recognize the bun-headed girl from her paper-shuriken invitations. Or notice that her smile doesn't quite reach her eyes, because even if it's a party, it's still... not home.

Challenge her, y/n?]

I'm glad that you like them.

How old are you now?

18 huh? [He liked the good old days when he was older than all of these squirts.] Well, the time does fly by doesn't it?

[Especially when you're dead >_>]

I guess I have another chance to experience that myself.

[But still no purpose....]

It's so strange... I shouldn't be alive right now... I don't even know if I was a useful tool for Zabuza-san in the end.

[Oh no... Haku no. The point of this was cheering him up, not the other way around.]

[Making it through the familiar hallways that reminded him of the Chuunin exam and past the strange obstacle course had been a rather easy task. The strange encouraging gestures and words from an illusion of Lee's sensei was a bit perplexing though.

But here he was, with a bowl of curry, because who was he to deny the request written in the invitation. He hadn't brought a present, for the logical reason that everything Lee could want was free here anyway, but more so because birthday celebrations weren't something he was extremely familiar with.

But here's curry! Made by his hand. And here he is, glancing about curiously for what he should be doing next...which guessing by the setup, included something a little more physical than he had expected.]

DYNAMIC BIRRRRTHDAAAAAAY!

[Do you remember this experience, Lee?

DO YOU?

Have an orange blob sailing through the air towards you.]

[Sakura notices the birthday boy's absence; she goes searching for him, and eventually finds him with a flower, pulling at it disconsolately.]

Lee?

[In a state like that, she's prepared for him to tell her to go away; maybe he won't want to be seen like this. But she can't turn her back on him entirely, can't just walk away when he's obviously upset.]

What's wrong?

[Maybe sparring isn't exactly the most normal birthday activity, but really, what better gift can Neji give Lee? This won't be the all-out no-holds-barred battle he's promised Lee they'll have one day, but he can still put him through a good workout, maybe put on a display for the attendees.]

Well? Let's do this properly.
medicalpunch: (Oh?)

[Many come and many go? It doesn't take her long to figure out what that means. She moves to sit next to him, sympathy welling up in her eyes.]

Someone you cared about went home, didn't she? [It's a hint that she's overheard what he was muttering, but it's also a pretty easy guess.] Lee, I'm so sorry...
screw_fate: (STOP! Nejitime!)

Then I'm glad I can provide. [He settles into his own opening stance, and then moves swiftly to make the first strike, knowing that Lee will evade -- knowing, in general, how. They've trained together so long that they know each other's patterns.

That's part of the fun, part of the way they enjoy friendship and teammateship.]
