A

[Early in the morning, Rock Lee can be found jogging around any section of the city. But as he jogs, he has a notepad open and is frantically scribbling in it, while dried tears are on his face.]

I must remember... every last past of that dream!

[Perhaps you hear him say that; or perhaps something more concerning is happening. He's not always paying attention to where he's going while writing, after all, so he may be about to run into something dangerous, or even collide into you!]

B

[Or you may find Rock Lee at a later point in the day, anywhere around the city. Regardless of where it is, the main thing to note is that several stalks of corn have started sprouting up around Lee. He looks around in confusion.]

Wh-what is happening?!

C

[Wild card! Feel free to come up with your own scenario, which doesn't have to be related to the event's effects. And for any of these scenarios, Lee could also be found at his jobs at the ramen shop or the gym!]

Comments

[niceguypose]

Ah... I see! [He frets as he looks over the notepad.]

It is alright. I... I am just trying to make sure that I remember a very important dream.

[badcoverband]

[Whoa. No way. Kara's trying to remember a dream, too. It's been on the edges of her mind, driving her crazy as to when she can remember it, or enough details to fill in the blanks.

So, okay, fair enough.]

Well, by all means, I don't want you to forget more...even though it must have been a sad dream?

[She pauses.]

But uh, have you thought about a psychic? I'm sure around here there's one.

[niceguypose]

It was a happy dream, I think! In... in a sad way!

...

...I did not consider the idea of a psychic! We have to find one!

[badcoverband]

Do you think the church would have one, or maybe know of one? Or maybe the research district?

[She certainly knows about happy yet sad dreams, especially lately. She wishes she could do more to help, but maybe it would help both of them.]

Since it's of utmost importance to remember this dream, we'll find one right away. Come on with me, kiddo.

[niceguypose]

[Lee's smile returns at her reassurance, and he starts to look hopeful again.]

Ah... Thank you so much! Those both sound like very good ideas. We can check both areas!

[badcoverband]

Don't worry, dude. We'll find you someone who can help in no time.

[She throws her arm around his shoulders and grins before letting go again.]

You don't hafta thank me. I know what it's like all too well. I'm Kara Thrace, by the way. What's your name?

[niceguypose]

[Rock Lee feels even more reassured, and then he grins as he answers her.]

It is a pleasure to meet you, Kara-san! As for me, I am Konoha's Beautiful Green Wild Beast, Rock Lee!

[badcoverband]

[Uh. What. He's so nice and cute though that she just keeps the smile on her face even as she has so many questions.]

Rock Lee, the pleasure's mine. The Green Beautiful Beast thing, is that your title? Is "san" a title too?

[There's so much to learn here, she's afraid of the Nexus messing up. She's just started meeting so many people and finding out so much.]

Back home I have a callsign, "Starbuck." You can call me that if it's easier.

[She grins.]

Hmm...that shop looks witchy enough to have a psychic, maybe.

[niceguypose]

Ah... Yes, that is my title, and 'san' is used to refer to people honorably! I would gladly call you by either name!

[He smiles eagerly as he looks towards the shop.]

You think so?! Let us look into it! [Rock Lee quickly tries to run ahead towards the shop!]

[badcoverband]

Oh, like 'sir' in the military. Gotcha! That's nice of you. Whichever you feel more comfortable with is fine.

Yes, I definitely think. See all the purple shawls and drapey things? Definitely a psychic, or at least an oracle.

[He takes off and she can't help but be impressed by his enthusiasm. That dream really has some kind of significance, huh? She follows him in but stays a little behind. She doesn't want to intrude.

It's small and full of smoky incense, but the little shop is welcoming anyway, but the counter is empty.]

Uh, hello? Hiya? Anyone there?

[While they wait, she turns to Rock Lee.]

You got your notebook and everything, right? Didn't even think to double-check before we left.

[niceguypose]

So that is the sign of a psychic. I see!

[Rock Lee doesn't stray too far from her, because he's too clueless. As they wait for someone to show up, Rock Lee starts to glance around curiously at the shop, but he nods diligently as he holds up his writing materials.]

Ossu! I am fully prepared, Kara-san!

[badcoverband]

Well, not always, but --

[But before Kara can continue, a willowy woman comes from the back, draped in shawls and smelling strongly of incense. On the table in front of them lies a bowl of water and a crystal ball. Where Kara once might have snorted at such a sight, her own experiences with oracles had changed her perception.

No matter what the perception, there's hope.

(She'll try to remember to ask Rock Lee about what ossu means later.)

Kara explains that her "new friend" has a dream he would like to remember. The oracle eagerly claims to be able to help, so Kara offers her own credits from her card - just in case, she doesn't want him to have to pay if it's all a sham.]

You think you're ready, new friend Rock Lee?

[niceguypose]

[Rock Lee watches the oracle with intense curiosity and nods along eagerly as Kara speaks.]

Yes!! My new, dear friend, I am ready to learn! Ah... But, you did not have to py, Kara-san!
