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!

[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.

[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.

[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]

[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!

[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?!

[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!

[punchesyu]

[Wow this guy is a total spaz.]

Dude, just one. I'll let ya know if I need a refill.

[niceguypose]

[Or a total youth!!]

Ah... I see. A very splendid choice, I see. I will bring you that glass in one minute... no, thirty seconds!!! [He dashes over to quickly fill up a glass of water.]

[punchesyu]

[He watches on, helpless and in a small amount of shock at the enthusiasm of this guy.]

Guess I gotta give him points for caring...but that's way too much to be normal.

[He's going to wait ever so patiently though not that long for his water, blinking a few times.]

[niceguypose]

[He then flips back over, right on time, and slaps the cup on the table.]

Your drink, sir!! If you ever need a refill, please, just cry out my name. Like this:

ROCK LEEEE!

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?

[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]

[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!

[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. ]

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?

[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]

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

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

[psycholawgy]

Training?! [ She says with a pout. ]

What for?

[niceguypose]

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

[niceguypose]

My teeth!! I have to learn powerful biting techniques!

[carptricks]

[a little loud is better than a lot of loud. kaito straightens and rubs at one of his ears]

Enthusiasm isn't a bad thing, especially if you enjoy what you're doing.

Just be enthusiastic in the opposite direction. Y'know. Away from my ears.

[psycholawgy]

Are you trying to eat concrete, or something?!

[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. ]

[fairbrook]

[Squiiiiiiiiiiint. Perhaps she was the last person to tell him this. Perhaps, even now, she cared how others perceived her; particularly men. The Round Table and the entirety of the British aristocracy be dammed, she had to say this to him, if no one else:]

Character makes a man.

[She wasn't about to discourage him from wearing suits or picking out neckwear if that's what he so desired to do. But she wasn't about to lead him under the disillusion that appearances were essential to how he perceived himself.]
