The wandering swordsman... Again...

Kazuo arrived at Amegakure, standing at the gates, his right hand resting on his blade in a nonthreatening manner. He figured it was good manners to wait to be attended before entering, since the last time he had attempted something of this sort ended with him nearly losing his life.

"Hello, my name is Kazuo. I am a wandering swordsman with no village to call my own. Will I be allowed in to rest, or shall I take my business elsewhere?" He would ask when somebody arrived.

There was another visitor to the village. Her village. Where a normal shinobi would be planning potential battle strategy in the event it was something dangerous Aios used the information given by her rain for other endeavors. The moment he'd entered her rain she shot off into action, calling for the villagers to prepare once more, and prepare they did. With a variety of objects set up within her cosplay and items shop for just such an ocasion they got to work, throwing streamers and banners as he closed the distance, setting up a large stage just past the gates and dawning bright multi colored outfits. Operation feast of fools was on.

When he made it to the gate he was met with a roar of welcome and a striking up of the band, a grand song and dance number filling the air as the streets shifted to and fro in excitement.

"Come one, Come all!
Leave your loops and milking stools
coup the hends and pen the mules
Come one, Come all!

Close the churches and the schools
it's the day for breaking rules
come and join the feast of..."


AI, positioned out of sight on the other side of the gate popped her head out, dressed in a jesters outfit, her hands set against the stone of the gate as she peeked around the corner, grinning at the newcomer. "fools! hahaha! Welcome to notre-Dame! Come in. Experience the magic. you see...

Once a year, we throw a party here in town,
Once a year we turn all Ame upside down
Every man's a king and every king's a clown,
Once again it's topsy turvy day! "

Above Pinochio would appear, his body atop the wall as he continued Ai's song, his legs holding him up as he dangled upside down across the top of the wall.

"It's the day the devil in us gets released,
It's the day we moch the prig and shock the priest,
Everything is topsy turvy at the feast of fools!"

Within the crown villagers were exectuing her plan perfectly, each dancing around as they continued to set up for her grand entrance, continuing the song as a select few took to the air performing back flips and round offs through the crowd.

As they took over Ai and Pinochio would disappear around the wall once more, getting into their next position. Ai simply waited, back pressed against the cold stone of the wall for the perfect moment. Finally she popped out again, just in front of the stage grinning from ear to ear.

"Come one, Come all!
Hurry hurry here's your chance
See the mystery and romance,
Come one, Come all!
See the finest girl in france
Make an entrance to entrance
Danse la esmeralda.....

Dance!"

In perfect time with this final line Pinochio, who'd been sneaking his way around the edge of the stage hopped up atop it, taking off at a run for a short distance. Her performed three handsprings, gaining momentum quickly before pushing off to leap in the air, performing a double backflip and throwing a smoke bomb downward that hit right at the final dance. When the smoke cleared Aios could be seen with long black hair tied back with a light purple bow. SHe wore a dress, white on the top with a blue green corset striped in yellow and a deep purple skirt and there were various bangles and other gold jewlery at various points on her body.

Aios' outfit:

She loved her look changing equipment for it's ability to do this, her armor no longer a boring black suit but instead this gorgeous dress. "Welcome... To Amekagure." She spoke, grinning at the newcomer, all of this assuming he stayed to watch the show from the gates and didn't attack or something else rediculous. THings would naturally change in that instance but who would consider battle with such a grand show?! It was her plan after all. If you cant dazzle them with brilliance... Baffle them with bull shit. Still just in case Aios' singer's sword was placed just under the skirt of the stage in the event she needed it.

Daiko shuffled out of his room, feeling as if he had been asleep for weeks. He hadn't done anything and he was putting on some weight. He pats his stomach tiredly, stretching out. Rubbing his eyes, he put on his clothing for the day, complete with all of his weapons and such. He heads out the door to hear loud screaming and other sounds. Daiko sighed, rubbing his eyes. Aios was at it again. Hopefully this time she wasn't blaring horns at the newcomers... 

Walking toward the sounds, Daiko would notice that Aios had set up a.. stage? A lot of crazy stuff happened while he was gone, and it was all so confusing to him. He carefully walks around the stage so he would not distract Aios'... Performance. Walking up to the newcomer, he would do a half-wave, smiling. "Hey there... Kazuo.. I'm Daiko. I'm sure Aios would let you stay here, but you're sure as hell not going to rest." He points over to the stage, still apparently tired, "This kind of shit happens every day." Although tired and a bit disoriented, he is no less foul-mouthed as he normally is.

Kazuo's reaction, conversely to what Aios likely expected, was to become suspicious. While she aimed to distract him with her grand display   or whatever, he only grew wary. He had visited two ninja villages before, and the first one had a display very similar to this one, with a grand wheel of fortune summoned from out of thin air being spun to determine his fate. Naturally, he wasn't too excited about this. His grip on his blade tightened, his pulse quickening, until a passerby appeared to explain the situation. Apparently, the leader wasn't all right in the head, and this was commonplace here.

"Umm.... Hello, Daiko." Said Kazuo, bowing quickly. "This... Is normal? Is there anywhere quiet here?" He asked, looking up at the rain. He had expected a place like this would be dark and dreary, just to his liking.

Once her display was over the girl walked forward, sitting down with her legs estrended over the edge of the stage as her fingertips twitched slightly, moving the puppets seemingly without her actually realizing it was happening. Ai closed the distance at a walk towards the newcomer, beaming a bright smile from her realistic lips before shooting a glance at Daiko.

"Now now Daiko.... It isn't an every day thing.... Only when we have visitors or Aios is feeling particularly exictable. Welcome to Amekagure I'm the co-village Leader Ai. What can we do for you?"

Kazuo decided he did not like the look of this place. It was a tad too crazy for him.
"Well, I was looking for a place to stay, but it seems your village is a bit too loud for my tastes. I like my peace and quiet, you understand." Said Kazuo politely, turning and walking away casually. "Thank you for your hospitality, but I'll take my leave now." He said over his shoulder.

(Exit to borders- Sorry, forgot about this topic after waiting for Daiko to post. Now the reason I came here is kinda gone, sooo... Yeah.)
