Clowning Around (Open)

Valrose didn't understand the punchline to what he understood to be a joke about gutting. Never the less, his trademark smile stayed plastered on his face. As Goon seemed confused about HIS joke, Valrose smiled and rolled his eyes with comical exaggeration.

"Semantics! Goon! You have to learn to look at things with a broader perspective, or you miss the nice, tasty bits of life." He waggled his pointer finger as he said this as if disciplining a small child. Goon seemed to be warning him about some murderous outburst he felt coming on. Something about lack of sleep, coming after him.... blah, blah, blah, blah, stuff! To be perfectly honest, all this talking had caused Valrose to stop tuning in and had been zipping in and out of conscious reality, quite frankly bored now that there was this lack of stuff happening. He needed to carve a smile into someone, sooner rather than later. Much sooner. His frenzied eyes. No one was around, except Goon, at least as far as the clown's inattentive eyes could perceive. He felt something riling up within his body, waiting to come out and command his arm to cut. Valrose was twitching slight, clearly at the end of what people would call 'sanity.' He drew two out of his three throwing daggers, slowly, eyes locked onto Goon's throat.

"Madness, you say...?" Valrose's voice was little more than a whisper, but a voice loud with murderous intent.

"Who says we aren't all ready there...?"

Hysterio was chewing over his thoughts over how he had brutalized his now subordinates. While there had been a great power gap before, as genin, it was only to be expected now.

His swords were strapped to his back, while his armour still covered his body, making him look like a knight in shining armour. His weapon pouches were once again on his body, within easy reach of his hands. He was whole but only on the outside. On the inside well, he was worried that he would become like these mad dogs. Yes, these mad dudes who both looked kind of insane, standing about 10 meters in front of him. He walked up to the others from the alley in which he had been dwelling, stopping about 1 meter from the two of them, noticing that one had mental issues and so did the others, as one had kinda horrific scars, and the other sounded like he was filled with killing intent, and was drawing a weapon or two, his gaze locked on a certain vital of the other....

"Who are you guys? I don't recognize either of you. You, the weird looking clown guy for lack of a better name. Please put those throwing knives back. I would hate to have to investigate a murder and fill out all the paperwork." His voice was still chilly from the earlier incident, while inside he wondered just how far off the edge he could go himself. As he began speaking, his right arm moved up to grab the hilt of a Vibro Blade on his back.

Oh they were already, an eerie silence took over the place as Valrose finished speaking. Just as Goon was about to charge the clown, he was rudely interrupted. Interrupted by a dark haired guy, in glasses. "Who we are does not matter all that much, just two friends, catching up."  Goon saw the nerdy looking guy reaching for a sword. "There's no need for that," pointing to the blade, "We were about partake in a little fun, before you interrupted. Maddohatta, Genin, of this beautiful village. Now if you want to watch, you can but please do it from a safe distance." Goon spoke low and with his smile still as devilish as it was before.

"Or not....your choice." As he finished speaking he was on the brink of madness. No longer in his control, his hallucintions began, starting with the white rabbit who was watching the time on a watch, scurrying past the fire. A mouse who appeared on Goon's shoulder, whispering "kill the clown," over and over. Goon's demeanor changed to one that was murderous but laxxed. Whether the new guy moved or not, didn't matter. Goon was going to do what he intended either way. He kicked, at his full speed, up the fire, and towards Val, sending embers, dirt, and burning sticks his way. Plus, filling the area up with a cloud of dust. He'd brace a hand on the log, he was sitting on, ready to move at a moment's notice.

Honestly, Hysterio was in no hurry to force these guys to do his job for him. The clown guy had not identified to Hysterio as an ally, so he was probably an outsider, one that most likely did not have permission to be in the village.

Hysterio kept his hand on his right Vibroblade, drawing the sword quietly from its sheathe, holding it horizontally, backing up a couple of steps to be out of the way of the others. IF they wanted to fight that was on them. He would save his energy.

However, he would watch the clown in particular carefully, the genin he did not care much about. If the clown went away somewhere else then Hysterio would follow him at a distance, using his Chakra Sensory skills

At the same time he would also review what he knew of the medical specialty, for he intended to begin learning it as soon as possible. At the same time as this, he did a few practice swings with the flat of his Vibro Blade in the fore front, so that he would not be cutting anything un-necessarily. Of course, just cause he had an ability too, he began storing energy into his armour.

Goon followed the jester into the forest, it seemed he wanted to add more excitement to it. You just can't ever seem to back down, ah well just don't die. I don't feel like waiting another twelve years or more to manifest again. It gets to be a real nuisance. Mukuro spoke from within Goon. Goon just gave a reassuring smile, he knew he had to live for the both of them, but he didn't plan on dying anytime soon. He had too much to do, too many plans, but there was always the chance of death, and that added to the fun. It seemed the new guy didn't do much, maybe he was just keeping an eye on things so it don't get out of control. Goon could respect it, just a ninja doing his job it seemed, how nice.

Goon trailed behind Valrose, close enough to keep him in sight, but far enough that he could avoid any amount of Bullshit that could happen. He'd follow until The clown would stop, and then the show would begin. Its been a while since Mukuro, had any action, Goon was still debating if he was going to allow him to be apart of what was gonna happen or not. Only time could tell, all he could do right now was focus on the person in front of him.

The jester, now in the forest outside Kiri, had lead, Goon a small grouping of graves leaping atop one, in a crouched position, arms outstretched, each holding a knife. He balanced perfectly atop the tip. The Mad Clown's eyes seemed to be on fire in the moonlight, almost as if he had come from hell itself. He would cackle madly as Goon had followed him into his own territory.

"Oh ho ho!" Valrose would exclaim, spreading his arms as if addressing a crowd. "Welcome! Now, the show can REALLY begin..." his voice was darker than the sky, sharper than his knives.

"I still don't like that face. Lets put a Smile on it..."

Hysterio followed the others until they were in the forest on the island in the middle of the ocean, outside Kirigakure. At the gates he turned back but not before saying "If nobody winds up dead, I will have no reason to complain if you duke it outside over there. Best of luck." With that he silently walked off into the night. Of course, he was also thinking over the medical stuff and how he could be able to acquire knowledge of the human body. He was half tempted to stop by the library or break in but honestly, he was tired and it was probably closed anyway. Just because, he stored more energy in his armour.

Kozata had already been in the forest, out on a little patrol. Having the ability to see chakra was useful, apparently, as his doujutsu could detect chakra signatures, even to the point where he could distinguish unique elements from each other. As one of them left, Kozata walked quietly up a little bit closer, the area he was on being mostly dirt so that his footsteps would be silent to all but the most experienced ninja. What was this... Goon and another? The guy didn't appear to be wearing a headband, and Kozata knew that wackos that like usually weren't village ninja. A missing nin! From what he had observed, it looked like they were fighting.... or sparring?
In any case, Kozata would step out from behind the gravestone and as Valrose "jumped on the grave stone", Kozata would grip him by the neck with his right hand as both of the clown's feet left the ground, draining the victim of all his chakra instantly and leaving him unconcious should the attack succeed. It should, seeing as at the moment that Kozata chose to attack at maximum speed, Valrose's dodge would leave his momentum in mid-air, providing no way to dodge or detect that Kozata was even behind him, especially since the clown's attention would probably be focused on Goon and the shit he was kicking up.
At the same time, mere instants after the chakra draining hit connected (but only if it actually connected), Kozata would use his other hand, which was holding a kunai that he had taken out while observing the two boys earlier. This would be used in conjunction with the 1000 years of death technique, ramming the kunai into the clown, and killing him (also, launching his corpse 5 meters toward Goon). This being done at maximum speed as well, of course.
If all this was successful (there was no reason why it should not be), Kozata would look at Goon, the Naien doujutsu blazing in his eyes. "What were you doing out here?"

Goon moved through the woods, only catching a glimpse that was said by the new guy. As they crossed through the forest, Goon had begun to lose what shadow he had, and was engulfed by a misty blue aura. As they began to approach what looked like a makeshift graveyard, Goon had more pep in his step, his moved quicker, Easily catching upto Valrose before he reached the gravestone. Goon couldn't hold back anymore, he needed to see blood, so the moment the clown stopped, and began to turn around, Goon was on top of him. Maddohatta struck, with a back spin kick, with his right heel, using the momentum of the running, and the his left foot as a pivot. The kick went at full speed and strength, whether val moved out the way or not was on him, but this would and should stop him from jumping on to the gravestone. Leading to his embarrassing death.

Within mere seconds, Goon recognized a new face coming from behind the gravestone, Valrose was stopping at. It was Kozata, though he was mad, he could hold it back down, greeting him with a smile, and saying "What brings you out here?" his tone slightly l lower and darker than when they met.
