Where: Various locations around the colony!
What: Oh you know, Rock Lee things.
Rating/Warning: youth

A. CERES Marketplace

[Rock Lee happens to be at the general store, collecting groceries. There's seemingly a number of normal products in his shopping cart... but then there's also massive amounts of packages of floss. In fact, he even seems to be intensely flossing as he waits in line and focusing on his canines. What could it mean...?

Or you could find him at a clothing store, staring at the variety of neckwear.]

B. CERES Gym

[Another day at the gym. He's been working harder ever since he lost his job at the sports store. Here at the gym, he acts as a martial arts instructor. But, he's dealing with a problem passed down by whoever his boss happens to be: apparently some of his students have complained about his workouts being too intense. He has to do something to amend that.]

For fellow instructors

[If Rock Lee sees anyone else who teaches at the gym, he will handstand-run right at them.]

Excuse me!! I would like a moment of your time, please!

For students or anyone else

[Once he sees anyone he's trained with, or someone who looks like a potential new student, he will try greeting them with a meek wave. Can he keep down the intensity?!]

C. Ramen Place

[Rock Lee is taking orders at the same ramen place where Naruto works.]

Would you like anything, esteemed customer?! I can guarantee that our curry ramen will make you feel more lively than ever!!

D. Wild Card!

Feel free to run into him somewhere around the residential, shopping and/or entertainment districts!

[scaryintuition]

[Hide is waiting in line behind Lee, his eyes glancing between the large amount of floss in his cart and the man himself. He seems to be very focused on his task, but that's never stopped Hide from starting a conversation before. And it won't now.]

You must take your dental care very seriously. You're putting the rest of us to shame, man.

[niceguypose]

[Rock Lee smiles at the compliment and briefly removes the floss from his mouth as he nods.]

To tell the truth, I am still a beginner at this type of training! That's why I intend to go all-out!

[punchesyu]

Yo, dude, keep it down! [Man he hasn't seen anyone so excited to be working in a ramen shop before.]

I'll take the tonkotsu, and some water.

[niceguypose]

I apologize!! [He's just happy to serve. And he energetically scribbles down the order on his notepad.]

The tonkotsu... now that is a nice choice! And how many glasses of water would you like, sir?!

[sjokolade]

[Anna's never been to a ramen place before! But after talking with Naruto, she thought why didn't she just walked down and see what they had to offer?

Of course, that was right before she saw Rock Lee shouting!]

Whoa! You don't need to shout, I'm right in front of you!

[niceguypose]

Ah... I apologize if I was too loud, Miss! [Never mind that he's still loud.]

I am just very eager to serve. Ask me anything!

A!

[fairbrook]

[Similarly, Integra shares a mutual interest in men's neckwear, and can be found peering up and down the racks. What you may or may not catch are the skirts and petticoats inconspicuously tucked away in her basket.

Oh... it's that kid!]

Mr. Lee... [It should be clear social niceties is hardly Integra's strong suit.]

Are you looking for something particular?

[niceguypose]

[He quickly glances towards her! And he definitely recognizes her.]

Ah... Integra-san! [He greets her with a smile and a formal bow.]

Yes, well, you see... I was trying to look at the different kind of 'neckwear' that are available. I have heard that such things are needed to be a true man!

[carptricks]

[with a visible wince, kaito immediately leans back because wow, that sure is some loud yelling. and it is never pleasant to have someone yelling in your face]

Oi oi! Easy on the volume! I don't think I've ever seen someone who enthusiastic about ramen before.

[niceguypose]

I apologize! [But he'll still be at least a little loud.]

I have a strong passion for my job. It cannot be helped! Isn't it splendid to make such foods and make others happy with it?!

a for athena!!!

[psycholawgy]

[ This girl is out to buy some fresh meat and ingredients for dinner. She spots Lee and doesn't... look very excited to see him. Just what in the world is he doing?! ]

Don't do that in public!!

[ Yeah, ok, she couldn't help but reprimand him. This is going to go downhill (even moreso) pretty soon. ]

[niceguypose]

Athena-san?! [He withdraws the floss from his mouth for a moment.]

But this is very important training! There's no time to waste!

c!

[harepiece]

[Guess who's EQUALLY EXCITED TO SEE ROCK LEE. It's this punk, who somehow finds his crazy amounts of energy contagious?! He's so glad he decided to try this place out now.]

Oh—! Curry ramen? I've never heard of that before! Is it spicy?

[niceguypose]

Yes! I can arrange for it to be even spicier, too!! How many bowls would you like?!

[rollin]

[ Yata's always happy to see Lee whenever he visits the gym, but meeting Lee is bound to get him dragged into the guy's shenanigans again. But what's up with that weak ass hi? As he waves back, Yata wonders if he's just seeing things. ]

Yo, Lee! You eat yet? You don't look so good.

[niceguypose]

Yata-kun! The flames of my youth are actually-! [But then he cuts himself off and forces a duller tone.]

That is... I mean to say... I feel very healthy today, my friend.

What do you think of the weather?

[makigumo]

[ She's starting out slow. She did promise to try to peek down his pants, after all. But yeah, she's starting out slow. If cheetah-speed counts as slow.

Hope Lee not holding anything too fragile, in case he drops anything. Because Shihoudou does a stealth attack in the grocery store. ]

[journaler]

[... Yeah, okay. Leia recognizes that voice anywhere, so she peeks out from behind the menu when she hears it. She's been meaning to try the ramen at this place; she's had a good feeling about it, and now she knows why.]

Rock Lee! I didn't know you worked here, too.

[niceguypose]

Leia-san! [He beams at her once she appears from behind the menu.]

You know what they say... Youth is full of different tasks! This is one of my... er, that is now two jobs here!

[swimpai]

((As a sports, it's basically obligatory that he come to the gym every now and then because there's probably something he can do here that is useful to him. Like a swimming pool. or something.

Ai was just coming in to do his thing, and he's a little surprised to be recognized (?) by someone, pauses a moment as Lee waves, and then brightens up! RIGHT! The one who took the rose in his mouth!))

Hello! ((He waves.)) I didn't realize you worked here! I guess I shouldn't be surprised, though, either, hah.

[niceguypose]

Ah... It is you! [He does recognize this guy after all from that one meeting.]

It is a pleasure to meet you again. I do indeed work here! But, ah... I was a bit different the last time that we met!

B as Sailor Mars

[faithfulflame]

[Well, she needs a place to keep in shape, and the gym after work is just as good a place as any. She's definitely a newbie, though the woman carries herself with a great deal of grace and intensity. She's not around to play. But...since she's being waved at, Sailor Mars will offer one of her own.]

Hello.

[niceguypose]

[An interesting woman! He nods and smiles.]

Hello! Miss. [He seems like he's struggling to keep his voice down.] How are you on this day?

c!

[meriter]

[ Cooped up his home for about a week now, he's decided to impulse-try some ramen for some weird, convoluted educational reason. He's staring blankly at the menu when Rock Lee speaks up, and then, accompanying his words with an all-suffering sigh: ] Oh, you're that guy who was wondering about what turning 18 meant.

[ Elliot Nightray: paragon of useless trivia. ]

Curry ramen? Sounds weird. I doubt it'd cause anything but indigestion.

[niceguypose]

Ah, I recall your voice! [He says with a smile. Parrot of useless trivia?]

But... That might not be the case, sir!! Your stomach needs true strength. Then such a ramen will be truly invigorating! It is one way to truly be a hot-blooded youth!!

[impheired]

[Kuzuryuu's just browsing around, minding his own business and checking out what kind of selection this place has when he walks past an aisle and notices a somewhat familiar shiny bowl cut.]

[Ah. This guy again. Looking at...neckwear? He should really probably keep walking. Just...move one foot...then the other...walk pas-- dammit no he's a friend of Peko's, even if he's kinda weird. He needs to make an effort to get to know her friends.]

Oi, Rock. [Dear god, please give him permission to use your first name before he sticks with that.] What're you doing over here?

[niceguypose]

[His pensive examination of the cravats and neckerchiefs are interrupted by the calling of a familiar voice. Lee glances over and down at him in surprise.]

Ah... Kuzuryuu-kun! It's you! You could call me 'Lee' if you chose...

As for what I am doing here, I am examining articles of clothing!
