[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!]

[Kara makes the same run every morning, except for random days of shortcuts. Today's the standard route though, and her thoughts are elsewhere. Like how a new friend here built her an entire frakking bed. Someone she just met!

Anyway, she sorta hears the end of Rock Lee's statement but doesn't find time to care before she's crashing into him - or him into her, whichever it was, sprawling on the ground and scraping up her arm. She has dirt on her face and grit in her mouth, and spits it out before she gets to her feet.

She walks over, extends a hand to the other fallen party to help him up, and says:]

How the hell do you expect to write and jog? Gotta watch where the frak you're going next time.

[The old Kara would've chewed him out already in two seconds flat. Here and now, she's practicing patience. Or maybe she just noticed what looked like tear tracks. What on earth...?]

[Again the only reason he's out this early in the goddamn morning is because he's only just staggering back home, flushed and a little tipsy.

He sees a green blur in the distance, quickly approaching, and he has to squint. Maybe he's drunker than he thought--

nope it's Lee. Of course. Being the great friend he is, he sticks a foot out.]

The hell do you think you're doing.

[ Kogi's eyes grow wide as the corn grows from almost nothing--- an impossibility in any other environment, but in THIS one, it's perfectly reasonable?

Kind of??? ]

Ah... can you grow soybeans next? For tofu, of course. I promise to share if you'll do this small favor for me.

[ Does he realize that this isn't normal? A mystery. ]

[Meanwhile, here Takeru was having no idea how to handle what was going on. For the past few days, things have gotten rather windy around him. No matter hard he tried, it seemed as if he was literally being blown away by whatever he was doing! And the thing was, he wasn't even sure what he was doing in the first place!

So when he saw Rock Lee having corn appear before him, all he could do was just stare in awe]

Well, maybe you won't ever grow hungry? And you can eat all the corn you want?

b!

[IT'S A MIRACLE OF NATURE.

Or a miracle of some description, anyway... Kashuu seems just as startled, since he'd been engrossed in some sort of book and only looked up once he saw a sudden flurry of activity out of the corner of his eye.]

—Corn?! [Yes, corn is happening.] Oh my god... [...] Is it real?

[Asking the important questions.]

[ Naminé is not one to miss a familiar face - or silhouette - when it passes by. It doesn't take but a moment after he enters her range of vision for her head to snap toward him, eyes rounding. She sees just enough of his demeanor as he passes to recognize that he's in... some sort of distress? And that won't do at all. ]

[ So she starts off after him, trying to catch up. (Depending on how fast he's jogging, though-- she is a small girl and doesn't have a particularly large stride.) ]

Rock...!

B! Hope this is OK

[tuishou]

[It's unsettling, but maybe not as much as it would be if, say, Lee had begun to shoot fireballs out his fists. That the random appearance of cornstalks happens to be Rock Lee's first ninjutsu (he knows it's not) has Neji fighting down a laugh.

Yes, really.

Lee's confused face doesn't help but did either of them really expect this during a quick spar? No, doesn't look like it.

Something something youth-- as for what to make of the cornstalks while in the middle of a mock fight:]

Resistance training.
