[Some of you may be used to this beaming face being on your screens by now. Some of you may not. You are the lucky ones. But now you're exposed to it, and the owner of this face is unfortunately loud. He's cheerful, as is usual]

Good morning, everyone! I hope that all of the new arrivals are starting to get used to the city! I have spoken with some of you, but not all, and I hope to eventually meet with everyone!

I am Maito Gai, and there are two things I want to cover in this message. The first is Morning Training! By now you have heard of the war, I am certain. The best way to prepare for this is to attend Morning Training, held at the Training Grounds from six in the morning until nine! That is why it is called Morning Training. We teach partnership, basic, intermediate, and expert fighting, how to fulfill your role as a Meister or Weapon, and other things! Breakfast is provided so all should come!

We could use more teachers, if you have been here for a time and wish to help, or know things about fighting that you can teach. BREW has sent home more of the people who help and so we are... shorter than usual. I appreciate the help of anyone who teaches!

The other thing I wish to talk about is the Watch. I, along with my Meister Kakashi, am in charge of the Inner City Residential District. If you need assistance there, or something goes wrong, please do not hesitate to let me know!

Thank you for your attention and I hope that your day is splendid!

[It looks like the feed ends as he switches to private messages.]

[Private to Team Gai]
I had the idea of Team Dinners, once a week, just us four. I have already spoken with Neji about it, but what do you think, Lee and Tenten? When is best for you two? We do not connect enough here!

[Private to Stripperella]
How many did you wind up hugging?

--

[Private to Kanji]
I hope that you are feeling less upset today?

--

[Private to Spirit]
I have a few questions if you have time! The first is if a few people in the city work to make everyone happy, and succeed, can the city be renamed to Happy City? Or Joy City? Or something like that? Because Death City is a very grim name. Also, has anyone tried hugging a Witch to defeat them? And finally... How did the war begin?

I've taken Lee as a secondary Weapon until he finds a Meister of his own that he's comfortable with.

[Just a heads up]

That is splendid, Neji! I am sure that with your help he will learn how this world works in no time!

...How many hugs did you receive yesterday?

Edited 2012-05-06 06:30 (UTC)

Once our resonance is solid however, I'll require some formal training..

[And what kind of question is that? DX]

Too many.

I will of course be glad to assist!

Neji! That is not a number! And it cannot possibly be true.

[It is too :| But since you've agreed to help with training, he'll think about it]

..Six, if you include the second one from you.

That is an acceptable number. But I think your life needs more hugs.

I really don't think it does.

I believe it does! Hugs lift the spirits and add light to life!

I find them annoying, personally. [Blunt as ever]

...What is it that you do not find annoying? I am not being sarcastic; it is an honest question.

Anything that isn't loud or personally invasive.

Neji! [Dramatic pose. See the sparkles.] I believe I know what you need! You need a turtle! They are quiet and subdued and only sometimes need affection, and it could be good for you to give affection to a small animal! COME! LET US GET YOU A TURTLE!

[Not sure if want] ..We have a puppy.

We have two puppies and my turtles! COME! LET US GO! TO THE STORE! TOGETHER!

..Gai-sensei, I really don't think I need another pet. I don't know anything about taking care of those creatures.

I will teach you! [Pulling on his vest.] It will help you to feel better about affection and love! It is important! Get your shoes on, I am on my way over!

I really don't think- [But he stops mid-protest with a sigh and an imperceptible roll of white eyes as he moves to get his shoes]

[Gai's out his door a few moments later after pressing a kiss to Kakashi's forehead and patting each of the dogs on the head. He knocks at Neji's door semi-patiently. After all, if he rushes his student too much neji might decide not to go after all.]

Neji? It is Gai!

[He's vaguely surprised that Gai doesn't break in and spends a moment staring at the frame like he expects it to shatter as he pulls on his shoes. Neji opens the door and slides out, closing it behind him before Gai can announce their excursion to a pet store where Lain and his cousins can easily hear]

I still think this is unnecessary.

[Gai smiles widely as Neji joins him in the hallway.]

I think it is perfect! You will feel better when you have a little turtle in your hands, relying on you for affection and safety!

[Happily he leads the way down the stairs and out the building.]

[He can admire the bit of logic in that statement and follows along mutely, wondering how he might be able to wriggle out of it anyway. But he'd go along and worst case scenario showed him Gai appearing in his doorway with that same wide smile and a turtle in hand. His chances didn't look good]

I don't think they need much of either; they aren't ningame.

Neji, Neji, Neji.

[His tone is gentle as he shakes his head.]

Every living creature appreciates affection, whether they are fighting companions or an owl. Turtles are very fond of it! Littletail especially likes to be held!

[He considers going at a jog, but realizes quickly that Neji might not keep up, on purpose. A walking pace to the mall it is, then.]

We will find you a very affectionate one!

[He considers asking how anyone can tell a turtle of all things likes something, but he's never been the best with animals and he doesn't really expect that to change much]

What about fish?

You cannot hold a fish.

[He can see the mall from here and he's getting excited. This is an opportunity to pass a turtle on to Neji and see how that goes! After all, it's not like Lee can summon Ninkame, and Ninkame didn't like Tenten at first.]

And turtles are symbolic, too! You know what they mean to me!

[He didn't figure the suggestion would get him anywhere, but it'd been worth a shot. An aquarium of fish would look nice in the apartment, at least. Neji graces the view of the mall inching closer with a sigh lacking any of the enthusiasm Gai felt for the venture]

If you insist.
