[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?

Good. I'll see you there. Sometime.

You should be there everyday! It is good to stay in top shape so you are ready for any occasion!

I train with Gai. [Though yeah, Lee, he knows you have a point. He kind of screwed up and needs to get into training here so he's on top of his game. This isn't like home. He can't rely on his ninja skills here.]

That is true! I am sure Gai-sensei does not let you slack off all the time.

Well, he certainly keeps me active.

He is always challenging you, even here? That is good. [A rivalry that he finds thoroughly effective.]

A rivalry isn't a rivalry without challenges.

Well-said! I am lucky to have Neji here with me, as well! We get to train every day together, so challenges are a daily routine! [He wouldn't have it any other way!]

Mm hm. You and Neji resonate well with each other?

With what practice we have had, yes! It has worked very well for us, but I did not doubt that it would.

... I have had some trouble staying consistently in my Weapon form, but I am sure that will take only a little time. And Neji has been willing to help me with that, as well!

Rivals have a knack for resonating. Gai and I resonated pretty well from the start.

You'll get there with time. It takes everyone a little while before they have enough stamina to keep it up.

Rivals must make good partners, then! [Lee smiles, but it's a little less bright than usual. He and Neji can't be actual partners, after all. Gai and Kakashi are so lucky!]

It is just with any type of training, then! I believe I can master it!

[Problem? He notes Lee's expression.] In many ways, yes. [Ah...not discussing that. Um.] Though you don't have to be limited to Neji.

With plenty of effort, you will.

[He understands that. But it's more of a let-down that he can't just be Neji's partner, since they do resonate so well.] There is also Tenten to practice with.

Of course! I always put two hundred percent effort into all of my training! Two hundred and ten percent even, sometimes! [As if even two hundred percent were possible in the first place...]

And others. Hanabi is a Meister, I believe. I'm a Meister. So is my teammate Obito. [I'm sorry. He's going to pimp out Obi to the cast D= Though he ships a Sai and Obi partnership] So is Naruto. ...You and Naruto could try resonating? See if you two will make a good match?

Or maybe you'll find someone you like. I hear that romantic liking can go a long way towards improving resonance and strengthening partnerships.

[210%...Kakashi is not surprised.]

...Right. Of course you do.

[~~LOL shipping Sai and Obito as partners xD~~ Lee nods at every name mentioned, feeling a little less down.] I will ask some of them, then! Naruto and Hanabi area always possible... And Obito-san...[An Uchiha... he's not sure.]

... [Lee feels a blush start to stain his cheeks and ears.] I do not think... well, if Sakura-chan were here but...

Yes!

Mm hm.

You never know who you might meet. I'm sure we have some very nice pink-haired girls around here, Lee. Or maybe instead, someone you already know. It's not unheard of.

I... see. [And he's still blushing. It's not like there aren't pink-haired people here. Or others with handsome and beautifully odd features that he finds attractive, but one should not give their heart so easily if they have already promised it to another... Right?]

Then I will... keep my eyes open.

I mean, people do it all the time. Go for people they already know. Maybe a partnership will develop further. Or something. [He's not even sure what he's saying anymore or what the point of it is.]

I am sure there are many routes that lead towards rewarding partnerships. I will simply have to find them!

[That's what you're saying, right, Kakashi?]

Yeah, you do that.

[Sure, something like that.]
