Teen Beach Movie:

Surf's Up!:

Cast Away:

Baywatch:

After a long night of completing petty tasks for the beach goes of Mikadzuki, Auron had take a nice long rest at one of the beach hostels available. However staying at a hostel itself wasn't intention. When searching for lodging Auron had stumbled across a facility with a bright sign outside of it. He had assumed that the "s" in the name was a misprint, and it shouldn't have read as "Hostel Shoreline" but instead "Hotel Shoreline". And though the name seemed to be a bit estranged, the rates they promoted seemed far too favorable for him to pass up on. Proceeding inside, he'd speak with the desk clerk who was nothing but unenthused and mentally absent. He didn't offer much hospitality or instruction, but his guidance was at least clear to request payment from Auron and he told him which room he'd be staying in: room 6. Auron would take the keys to his room and go onward down the long hallway which led from the receptionist desk to the actual rooms. He'd past rooms 1 through 5, before finally arriving at the door marked "6" in sandy yellow font. One thing in particular that Auron had noticed since arriving was just how...loud the place was. After passing each room he'd overhear multiple voices talking and laughing coming from within. Nevertheless he just assumed that all the other rooms that had been rented out were inhabited by parties of multiple people. Yet that theory was quickly dispelled, as when he unlocked the door to his room his eyes would fall upon two women and one man exchanging in small talk. His expression shifted into a puzzled one, not quite sure as to why there had been people in his room. Yet they would look at him and with soft smiles, one would call out

"Hey welcome to the Hostel. I guess we'll be bunking with you for however long you're in town!"

"Uhh bunking with me? I thought this was a regular hotel?"

"Hotel? No, this is a HOS-tel. You know, sort of like a dorm...a shared living space. That's why it's so damn cheap," one of the women would further elaborate.

Auron would somewhat stare in silence as he was nothing short of baffled at the fate that he met. But assuming this wasn't some type of weird joke or gimmick, he walked further into the room. There had been three beds occupied, and one that was vacant. He assumed this one to be his. Quiet and reserved, he'd sit upon its surface as the group further dove into the subject matter they had previously been discussing. It seemed like a new movie coming out, "Life's a Beach", had recently had a group of people quit from their casted roles. And resultantly the movie which was set to start being filmed tomorrow would have some last minute auditions. They'd take a short break from their talk and the guy would call out to Auron, "Hey what's your name anyway?"

"Auron, how about you?"

"I'm Cinna, this is Eiko and Freya. You look to be capable and in shape, you should audition for that stunt double role. You kind of look like the main character."

"They pay well?"

"I would assume so, it's supposed to be the hottest movie released this summer."

"Hmm. Maybe I will. But for now I need to rest. Goodnight Cinna, Eiko, and Freya."

The Yamaguchi would cut the conversation off there and lay his head down upon the pillow. He'd sleep on top of the covers, as it didn't really seemed to be the cleanest sleeping conditions he had found himself in. And following this, he'd turn his body to face the wall. From here he'd tune out the conversations of the rest of his...roommates, and would tightly shut his eyes. It didn't take long for him to drift off. When he would it would feel like time accelerated to the point where the sun was already rising and he'd find himself waking up. The rest of the group had been fast asleep, so he'd take this opportunity to freshen himself up before setting out for the day. Leaving out the hostel, he'd immediately note how hot it was outside. It had been a scorcher. But at least his clothing offered him a decent amount of protection against the sun. Following this he'd proceed towards the location of the auditions he had overheard the group talking about. It was on a long wooden pier, which extended out from the boardwalk and to the ocean. There had been at least 30 people on the pier, all with various roles. Some actors, some directors, sound crew, and those who were looking to audition. But before Auron would make his way towards the group, he'd wait on the boardwalk near the start of the pier. The night before he had spoken with Travin and the pair decided they would meet up here. And so when Travin would arrive, he'd clue the man in on the intel he had gotten on more work to find. Even if that work was acting...

Travin decided that he wanted another drink before finding a place to stay, so stopped by a bar on the boardwalk. Walking in, they had loud music and people dancing everywhere. Travin walked up to the bar and sat down, ordering a drink. It had been a long day, and he was tired, while none of the tasks were really draining on their own the entire day was used running all over the beach helping all the people, and being very demanding on how fast they got from point A to point B. The bartender turned back around handing Travin his drink. Taking a sip while turning around on the barstool, he noticed that the women next to him was staring pretty hard. “You're one of those shinobi, right.” The question took Travin by surprise, he had never been asked that before. Thinking back on the day, he hadn’t noticed till she said something he hadn’t seen another shinobi all day except for Auron, and he was in the same situation he was.

“Yes, I am” Travin said, a little unsure of how this was going to turn out. The women were pretty, to say the least. She went on to tell him that they were making a movie on the beach about shinobi. Called Shinobi Striker 3: Return to the Blade, a movie Travin had never heard of, but he didn’t really watch a lot of TV. He also noticed that she was getting closer and starting to rub on his arm a little while explaining.

“Tell me, can you do that trick I’ve heard about where you make more of you” she asked out of the blue. Travin a little taken back didn’t know how to answer the question. The part of his mind that involved keeping secrets about his abilities and skills wanted to say no, but the other, more curies part of his mind wanted to say yes. Finally, the non-rational side won out in the battle of his minds and he told her yes. Which for some reason made her shiver a bit. Travin was not sure what he was getting himself into, but part of him was telling himself to go along for the ride, while another part was screaming run while you can. Of course, that was the small part of him at this very moment, and when stood up and whispered into his ear asking if he wanted to get out of this place that small part lost any power it had left. Travin turned around and killed his drink before following the women out.

Travin walked out of the house the next morning having learned several new things about chakra that he hadn’t ever thought was possible. Part of him didn’t want to leave, but another part of him was scared of what had happened in that house the night before, as he made it out the door and off the porch the upstairs window opened up and the women from last night leaned out barely covered. “If you're still in town tomorrow, come back by, we can do this again” she said down to him. Travin just waved and nodded as he walked on down the street, he needed to get to the pier to meet up with Auron. The entire walk there, his mind racing with what he had done or whether what she had made him do. He had no idea the human body could bend that way.

Arriving at the pier, Travin saw Auron standing where they had agreed upon last night. Travin would wave and great Auron as he walked up and stood beside the man. Listening to Auron tell him about what he had learned. “Yea, I met someone last night as well that told me a little about the movie. It's apparently called Shinobi Striker 3: Return to the Blade” Travin would tell Auron.

Sun! The Beach! Water and so much more filled the space that Zack had found himself in. Previously he had been chilling in the fire country wandering about in search of a place to stay. He had traveled far and found a nice, secluded area to rest in without fear of retaliation from anyone or so he thought. Sitting his bag down he nestled his father's blade within his arms as he fell asleep ready to finally get some rest without watching over his shoulder. As he did he could hear the wind blowing through the trees and only mere moments later he heard the crashing of waves and the wind licking his face. Something had been between his toes and as he stretched them out further he knew this feeling," Ugh sand...Wait sand!?!?!," his eyes would shoot open as he stood up and was about to have a freakout before he composed himself and looked around. This was definitely not the forest he was just in and moreso he could feel more wind that he usually did. Looking down he would see that he had only been in a pair of black swimming trunks which made him blink in confusion more. Whatever had happened he had been shot into another place where his clothes had changed and all of his belongings were gone. This was a very visible panic as he had just lost his father's sword, but as he looked over his shoulder he could see it sitting in the sand as well. Wiping a small bead of sweat from his brow he would walk over and grab it. Strapping it to his back he would begin to walk around. As he looked around it just looked as if he had been put on a beach which wasn't a bad thing just a very jarring and confusing one. People had been running past him, some of which stopped and stared at his physique but other than that kept on moving.

He found himself walking toward a movie set where he tilted his head and shrugged," Guess its a common troupe to shoot a movie on the beach huh?...Not that i've seen one myself personally but you know what they say huh. Wait..how do i even know what a movie is then?," that was a crisis for another time, but slowly he would make his way over to see what had been going on.

"Yo, Travin," Auron would call out as he'd see his acquaintance approaching him. "How was your night? My roommates informed me of some opportunity to earn ryo. Something about a movie down the pier over there?" He'd turn in place and point off towards the direction of the pier. Following this Travin would proceed to offer some additional insight on the movie details.

Upon hearing the name of the movie, Auron would scrunch up his face. What an odd title for a movie, but he presumed it was going to be about some highly animated and jaded version of a shinobi's life. It had been a shame that so often pop culture and the media took parts of someone's lifestyle and tried to falsely portray it for entertainment. But that seemed to be what sold, so why would they stop now? It was likely that no one on the pier had even been a shinobi. Auron kind of sighed to himself as he thought on it more, but shrugged off the thought. Hey maybe it was a good thing? Perhaps it would compel more youngin's to want to become shinobi? But likely for all the wrong reasons. And because of that, they likely wouldn't even derive their own nindo. A shame indeed. But Auron's morality wasn't refined enough to prevent him from pursuing an opportunity to earn ryo. At the end of the day, he had to do what he had to do to make ryo.

"Well, I guess let's see what it's all about."

Auron would lead the way down the wooden pier. After some meters of walking, the crowd would begin to thicken and the clamor of its constituents would grow louder. Once they reached the thick of it, Auron would make his way through the crowd until he reached the front of it where a director stood atop of a small box with his hands cupped around his mouth.

"HEY QUIET DOWN! ALL OF YOU!" It'd take several seconds for the chatter to end and silence to fall upon the pier. Auron, still equipped in his usual attire, would raise his head to look up towards the heightened director. He was curious as to what he had to say. "Now, as all of you know we've had some people quit. So in order to keep production going, I'll need several volunteers for stunt doubles. First off, we'll need a double for the main character Bosko. His character has long braided hair, he's a darker shade, and he stands about....yay high. Bosko come up here" the director commanded as he made a signal with his hand indicative of just under 6 feet tall. Following that, a man who appeared relatively similar to Auron would walk up towards the director, stand next to him, and fold his arms. The two would survey the crowd of candidates, before pointing and landing their finger in Auron's direction. "You! Take your hat off!"

Auron would look to his left, then his right to confirm the director was pointing at him. Sure enough he had been the only one in the crowd with one equipped. He'd raise his hands to grip his hat, then remove it from his head and allow it to suspend from his neck and drape over his back. As he'd do so, his long dreadlocks would fall out from their captivity and hang down to shoulder length. The director would offer a toothy grin and rub his grimy little fingers together. "Bingo Bosko! That's your double! Hey you, what's your name? And are you at all athletic? And can you use any type of jutsu?" Bosko would look at Auron and without a word offer a simple nod of approval. In response, Auron would nod almost reassuringly and just let out a simple remark. "Auron, and yes. I'm likely capable of whatever...stunts...you need me to uh, double?"

"Alrighty then, come over here. The rest of you scatter over there to my assistant. She will deal with the rest of the stunt doubles!"

"Before Auron would proceed towards the director, he'd lean over towards Travin and offer some parting words. "See if you can land yourself a role as a stunt double too. Or even try to find some additional opportunities. As we walked through the crowd I think I heard something about a surfing competition that's going to be included in shots of the movie. Hopefully this...movie shoot doesn't take long."

Afterwards Auron would proceed towards the director and Bosko. They'd look the Yamaguchi over and have another instruction for him. "Can you take that scarf off, and change into the clothes that are in that portable dressing room over there? You're going to need to look the part. And hurry!" Auron would somewhat shrug and walk off towards the dressing room. Upon entry there had been a costume laid out on the table inside. Assuming it was his, Auron would begin to undress himself and redress himself in the costume. It had been characteristic of a jounin's attire; equipped with the flak jacket, weapon pouches, and training pants. There was even a headband, branded with some logo he had never seen before. Likely a fake village. In any case it had been strange to see himself looking the part of a shinobi, as he hadn't worn equipment of the sort since before he defected from Konoha. Regardless though, he'd take a moment to form several seals and instantly store his own clothing and equipment within his storage displacement. With his face exposed, he felt vulnerable. But what would be the chances that a Konoha ninja would be looking for him out here?

Exiting the dressing room and reapproaching the director, Auron would be met with the slow and thunderous clap of the directory. Clearly he was pleased, as Auron looked like the spitting image of Bosko. "Perfect! Now let's make this quick. The scene begins with you running on the water, sword in hand. You're being chased by an assailant, who will throw explosive kunai at you. You need to deal with the kunai, and counter them so that you can put an end to the assailant. The scene is simple and the last one we have to shoot. So please, don't mess this up. Now go over there towards the end of the pier. Hop down from it and onto the water and you'll see the camera crew set up."

Auron simply nodded and followed instructions. It seemed simple enough. He'd walk towards the end of the pier, and leap down from it. Falling through the air, he'd land promptly on his feet standing on the surface of the water. Off in the distance he'd seen what he presumed was the rival shinobi, alongside a camera crew. They all had been standing atop of the water. Clearly they had some level of chakra training. In any case when he'd run up, the prop man would toss a dull sword to Auron. The Yamaguchi would catch it and twirl it in his hand once. "Alright, you should have been briefed on everything. Let's try to do this in one take, now the two of you go over there and let's get rolling!"

Auron and the assailant would head towards the direction the camera man pointed, and they'd wait momentarily for his queue. When everything was set up, from the pier the director would yell "ACTION". Immediately Auron would dart away from the assailant, who would be pursuing him from behind. As discussed, the assailant threw two kunai which were aimed towards Auron's midsection. Anticipating this, Auron would swing his body around to face the kunai and swing his dulled blade in a diagonal and swiping motion. A disruption in the air would form, and the kunai would fall 5 meters away from him and land into the water. Once within the water, they'd detonate and form a huge blast of smoke and water. Within the surge of water, Auron would return his blade towards his hip area rush through the water. He'd then quickdraw his blade in such a way that it would bluntly impact the approaching assailant with the pommel of its handle. The swift motion would knock out the assailant, and Auron would catch his body before it fell. As the water subsided and the smoke cleared, he'd be there standing atop of the water.

"CUT!"

Pausing momentarily, the director would cry out "MAGNIFICENT! YOU MIGHT HAVE A CAREER AS A STUNT DOUBLE! Now hurry, hurry get out of the shoot and let's bring Bosko in! Your work here is done. We'll have payment for you back on the pier!"

Without a word, Auron would return to the dressing room and remove his costume. He'd re-summon his clothes and equipment, and get himself geared up in his typical fashion: his hat covering his head, and his scarf covering his face. Things were back to normal. Upon exiting the dressing room, he'd receive his payment from one of the director's assistants and would be off on his way. Now it was time for him to find Travin and see what work he ended up finding.

Travin and Auron made their way to the down the pier to check out the movie that was needing some help with. Travin thought it was pretty crazy that someone quite in the finale few scenes, but he didn’t really know anything about showbiz. The duo approached to a massive gathering of people around the area. Having to push their way through the crowd in order to even see what was going on. It was shocking to Travin that so many people would want to be in the movie. Knowing that most if not all of them would not make it. Making this a big waste of time for most of them in his eyes. It wasn’t long after Auron and Travin made their way towards the front of the crowd that a big guy standing on a stage of some kind started to yell at everyone to quiet down. It still took several seconds for everyone to actually quite down.

The man announced that they would need a stunt double for the main character and described him. To Travin it sounded like Auron would fit the bill quite nicely, and thought that his new friend would have a good chance of getting the part. It would seem that Travin was right, as the guy called up the person playing the main character and the two locked their gazes on Auron. Having him remove his hat before asking him to come over and get changed for the part. Before Auron left, though, he told Travin about another part, a surfing competition that would be shown in the movie. “Sounds good” Travin would tell Auron with a nod of the head before giving him a pat on the back, “Don’t make them look too foolish up there” he would add with a grin. Before turning and making his way down to the water line.

Once he had made it out of the crowd, Travin would simply jump off the pier, finding it a much faster way to the beach than running back down the pier only to turn around and end up back where it was basically. A few of the people nearby that saw Travin fall left a few ahh sounds as he safely landed on the beach and started to walk over to the surf competition. While he had never surfed on water, he had enjoyed a few days of sand surfing with a few friends back in Suna. Plus, with his natural gifts as a shinobi it should not be too hard to get the hang of it on water. Walking up to the competition, it was a pretty basic explanation, the idea was that there were a few people on boats with cameras, and who ever was showing off the most successfully would have their stuff placed in the movie, and get paid for it.

Travin picked up one of the surf boards after writing his name down on the sign-up sheet with a picture of himself they took so that they could find him in case he was the winner. Running out into the water before paddling out on the board once the water got high enough, Travin was out with the rest of the surfers. He could tell that most were armatures, having never really spent much time on a board. However, unlike himself, they didn’t have his training and natural talent for balance. He had never understood why, but he was a very balanced guy, hardly ever falling over or off of things. He put it on the fact that his parents were builders, and as a kid he would spend time on the job sites walking over thin pieces of wood every day.

Travin caught the first wave that came up to him and rode it out, running his hand into the wave as he did so. Being a small wave, it didn’t really get much attention, and was mostly to help him get a feel for how the board rode, as well as steering. Surprisingly, he found it to be similar to sand surfing. Feeling like he had a better understanding of how it all worked, Travin got his chance for another big wave. Riding it all the way out and up to the top of the wave before performing a spin maneuver on the top of the wave, forcing him to come back down and into the tube of the wave to ride it out. It was at this point that he noticed that the people on the boat also had jet skies and were pulling people out of the water. He guessed they did not impress, and the competition was eliminating them to give the better surfers more waves to ride and give a good show for the movie.

After a while it got down to Travin and just 3 others on the water left riding the waves. Travin was pulling out everything he could think of, but the cast was not pulling any of them out of the water. After a little longer, the cast called an end to the shoot, waving the 4 of them over to the boat. Helping to load all of them onto the boat, the one in charge of the shoot explained that they had all won and that they would be paying them all for their efforts. Travin was fine with that, after all, he had gotten paid. Once they were back on shore and Travin had been paid, he walked off. After all now he had to find Auron and see what was next on the agenda. With all the money they had been making today and yesterday, Travin figured that he might actually be able to get a nice room for the night.

Travin would walk up the beach back towards the pier looking for Auron. Once he had found him, he would fill him in on what all had happened and ask about how the shoot went for the movie.

In a minute I'ma need a sentimental Man or woman to pump me up
BADBITCH L O V E

Aurora had awoken that morning in an unexpecting place, the sand around her sleek figure and the water brushing up against her bare legs as she sat up in her nightwear, the long braids secured tightly around her head as she opened her eyes to a bright sunny day. She looked before her, the giant ocean gently moving back and forth in the brisk morning air, the sound of people laughing and movement around her would stir her out of her daze. Unsure how she got to where she was, nor positive where it was either. She scrambled herself up, dusting off the sand that stuck on her… “What the heck…” She whispered to herself as the silk blouse and shorts clung to her body as the heat of the day warmed around her; she didn’t have any ryo or any other outfit on. The frustration of the day already setting in as she had scrambled across the beach and into a small looking village, she would quickly gain some extra work and experience in regard to getting herself a small hut close to the beach to sleep in, and a steady flow of tips working on as a beach waitress. She had planned on going and gathering herself an assortment of clothing articles to ensure she would be dressed for where she was, but in the end; she found that people would constantly lose things on the beach, jewelry, and other types of things as she hustled her way through her shift; picking up nick-nacks and other things of the sorts. Eventually she was able to stop by a small shop and purchase several sets of swimwear in an assortment of colors and styles.

As she finished her shift the day, she went back to her little ‘hut’ to clean off, and switch out what she was wearing for a cute numbered bikini, that appeared almost gold in color, the snug fitting pieces of fabric made sure that nothing would fall out of place, her hair placed partly up, wrapped in a mid type bun, the rest of her braids would dangle around her body as she slipped out, rubbing a moisturizer against her ebony skin, the dry air didn’t give anyone any favors.

She had been walking along the beach, watching as unfamiliar faces passed her, only to bump into a group of people talking about some movie being filmed, and them looking for ‘extras’, shinobi in particular for ‘stunts’ and other things. This caught Aurora’s attention as it sounded like good money and a chance to mostly meet other shinobi that might have some how ended up in this strange pit of endless sand. Aurora would head off in the direction of the so called ‘hot up and coming film’ for a chance to take part in it. As she passed more on goers talking about the film and what to expect, she found herself unable to stop the small giggles escaping her lips. It was interesting, the mundane things that people were interested in, she found little enjoyment towards movies and strange needs for wasting hours in front of a TV screen; she found other ways to occupy her time.

Usually involving attempting to read cards, and speak to the dead… Other times, she was mostly working or taking on missions. Grinding through her everyday type of thing. She knew that there was more to life than just what she was doing, but for now she couldn’t afford the luxury of wasting time. She had plans and those took the more important part of life. She had recently lost out at living with her Hyuuga relatives, and because she wasn’t ‘blessed’ with their silly violet eyes, she was out casted and had to figure out her own way in life. Of course this was something she had been planning on doing herself eventually, she just hadn’t quite gotten there yet.

Aurora sighed, her eyes scanning the bodies flying around the beach as she finally reached her destination; she noticed a large group of people stuck behind a barricade, fans, she figured at the very least… The other side had a small woman, writing down names and sending people off in different directions; Aurora made her way there, the woman took a quick glance towards her before jotting down the description; “I’m afraid the only part you might work for is….” She flipped through the pages and stopped, “Perfect, there will a large explosion, you’ll have to take the brunt of it and hopefully your good at faking which direction your thrown at, because you need to send yourself flying towards the camera man, without injuring anyone else.”

For a moment the woman would stare blankly towards Aurora, almost as if she was waiting for her to answer, “Yea… Yea of course.” And quickly after speaking Aurora would be rushed into a room with thirty other people being thrown clothes and other types of props; with a quick change and a shove towards the cameras, they were filming, in another part, she could hear something to do with the ‘main’ character go on, and it sounded far more riveting than ‘being thrown towards the camera man’; with a sigh she, like the others she got stuck with would begin a ‘battle’ and just as Aurora was told a ‘fake’ explosive kunai was thrown, the firework would go off and she flung herself as dramatically as possible towards the camera man; giving herself a ‘little spin’ with it as her braids whipped around her head, the loud ‘thump’ when she landed on the ground two feet in front of the camera man. “CUT!” A large cry would come across, “Perfect. Shoo these ones off and get ready for the next take!” As Aurora picked herself up and hurried off to the side to be able to dust herself from the dirt and sand she had landed on, the group was informed they would get their payments back at the pier.

A small nod, and another fast wardrobe change later, Aurora was back in her bikini and off to the pier; she watched as some form of competition went on below, she looked around to see if anyone had been around to give payment yet, and she hadn’t quite seen a soul yet, just a bunch of strange looking people standing around waiting for payment… She would smirk, a surfing competition was something she was more than willing to attempt, the first round was over by the time she reached the bottom, the second was being prepared, the winner of the first round managed to get 4000 ryo… She rubbed her hands together, excited to get into it.

As she made her way through and past registration, she quickly grabbed a board and moved into the line of surfers heading towards the large wave the water was cool on her legs as she moved through it; as quickly as she got close the wave started its decent and she would raise herself up to a standing position on the board; her hand touching the wave as she moved along the curl; the water raising above her head and curling around her, behind her the water would begin crashing down quickly, worried that she didn’t have enough speed in her accent through the water, she would bend her knees slightly, lower her center of gravity to hopefully pick up enough speed to escape the impending doom…

Within moments, she managed to weave through and successfully be the last woman standing on the other side as she came out, the crowds of people cheering for her; as she made her way back to the beach, she would pick up her board, the judges nodding and speaking amongst themselves before announcing her the winner of round two. A large smirk across her face as she took her ryo; as she was extended a further 4000 on top of the 4000 winning for ‘best’ surf the day so far. Totaling her ryo to 8000 in winnings. A large smile as she returned to the pier and resumed her wait for the first set of payment for the movie. Her eyes would scan the crowd, looking for a group she could stand with and chat while they waited, noting a strange appearance of a gentlemen, a hat and scarf concealing most of his face in the heat of the summer weather…

She found herself drawn to him, unsure why in the start as she made her way over to him and the other gentlemen standing with him, she would wave slightly as she approached; “Hi there!” She would chirp cheerfully as she stood before both men, her eyes glimmering in the daylight, “I’m Aurora!” her braids were slightly wet at this point, and the bun she once had was no longer there, all her hair was down. “Would y’all mind if I joined your little group and chatted for a while during the wait for our payment?”

Should they accept her and allow her to wait with them, she would attempt to strike up a conversation at the very least, “What parts did you get to do with that silly movie stunt double? I got be thrown at a camera.” She would giggle, scratching the back of her head as she glanced towards the two others.

Feeling fussy, walkin' in my Balenci-ussy's Tryna bring out the fabulous

Fri Jul 08, 2022 2:01 pm

"Well since i'm here might as well see if there is any work to be done. This stomach ain't gonna feed itself and this sword won't get fixed if ol Zack here don't work," he would chuckle to himself as he slicked some of his hair back and walked over to the movie set. As he did he could see a plethora of props; fake swords, dartguns, and everything in between which intrigued the young Hyuga. For a second he would pick up one of the phony swords and swing it as if he was swinging a real one and chuckled," This is so off balanced it isn't even funny. How they make these seem real is beyond me. I doubt i could take the head of anyone with this ol thing eh?," What he didn't know was that someone had overheard him speaking and raised a fit. Storming over they would take the sword from him, rather they would try as he simply flicked his wrist and sent the fake sword into the air before catching it with his other hand," You think you're a hotshot huh? You know so much about swords? You look like a poser, an amateur yeah. That's what you are," to which Zack would tilt his head and blink for a moment. Tossing the fake sword into the air, he would unsheathe his fathers broken sword and in one fell movement cleave the prop sword into three parts as he returned the heirloom into his home," Poser? Phony? Hardly. I can do things with a sword your little crew could only dream of...Speaking of are you still shooting the movie? If you put me in i'll forgive your little insult to my swordsmanship," flashing a wide smile he would give the producer a thumbs up and waited.

Taking in a deep breath, the man would nod nervously before looking over his sheet," It still looks like we need some more stuntman...since you are good with a sword we could have you be the double of one of the main cast members. It would be a shame to waste such talents on being a grunt and it looks like we are shooting a fighting scene here in a minute. You should be good to go with your clothing since its a beach fight so go on up this path and make a right, take this paper with you too," handing the paper to Zack, he could see the man visibly shaking which caused Zack to feel bad if not just a bit. Patting him on the head he would take the paper in the other," Sorry if I got under your skin. No harm no foul right?," giving that trademark smile he would walk off in the direction he had been given, leaving the producer to figure out if he had been serious or not. Moments later he would find himself in a wide area where a few other people had been getting ready, some going over lines and here he was clueless. Someone had walked over to him, presumably with an attitude at first until he had held up the paper. A soft sigh was let out as he began to be pointed to where he needed to be. Walking over he was given his prop, a katana, and told what he would be doing. He didn't have any lines and was only told to fight some of the bad guys and exit after the explosion- easy peasy right?

Swinging the sword for a moment he would sigh at how off it was, but would make due the best way he could. As the director began the countdown he would take his position out there with a few other stunt doubles. Taking in a deep breathe as soon as the word action had been yelled, all hell broke loose. Not knowing what else to do, Zack jumped from over a counter and began to let it rip.The first bad guy that had came up to him threw a punch which he countered with the hilt of the blade before grabbing their wrist and throwing them off screen. After a group of them came and surrounded him, and for a moment Zack felt like a badass. Taking his sword into his hand he would draw a line into the ground and chuckled," Come one come all for the ass kicking of the century," it wasn't his line but they were loving it. The fight broke out and Zack went along with it and when he heard the explosion, he jumped off set and waited to be called back. After hearing "CUT" he came back and was praised by the director for his fighting. The one liner was a good addition and he had no doubt Zack had what it took to make it in the movie biz. A wide grin bore on his face as he scratched at his cheek and left with his payment. As he walked out he could see a few people leaving as well, probably some of the other stunt doubles. He would walk over to the trio and smile, introducing himself as he did," Heya! Name's Zack. Did you guys get through working at the set too? It was wild yeah?!," overfriendly he may have been, but he definitely meant every word he said as he said it.

As Auron made his way from the movie set to the beach, he'd sit upon the sand and watch the surfing competition unfold. Clearly most of the competitors were just clumsy, evident by the number of them that had fallen right into the water. Perhaps they figured it was a nice opportunity to try their hand at, especially considering the cash prize offered. Auron himself was no fan of this idea though, he had never surfed and he wasn't too interested in starting today. And to tell the truth he didn't even know how to swim. The only reason he was comfortable enough with the water and being around the ocean was the fact that he could use the surface walking technique. This was exactly why he was so forward on having Travin try his luck with the surfing competition. And thus far he seemed to be doing well. Among him though were three other competitors who had been carving it up as well. From this distance it was hard to make out who they were, but they seemed to group up upon a boat and presumably be deemed as winners. It was an excellent showing and thankfully Travin would make some good ryo in the process. As he saw his friend returning from the water, off in the distance he could see another person approaching. She was alluring, with the water and salt of the ocean causing the sun to glisten off her melanin enrichened skin. A sight that was not only beautiful, but comforting to him. It wasn't often he saw people who looked like him, so when he did he felt right at home. But what were the chances she was approaching him anyway? Slim to none likely.

In any case, Auron would begin by speaking to his friend. "Yo the shoot went well! Made some banging ryo from it, I take it you did well during surfing too? We can split our pot later if you want?" And right as Auron had mentioned this idea to Travin, he'd see the woman he just saw approaching them even more. "Whoa..." he murmured aloud as she got closer, likely loud enough for both Travin and the woman to hear. But if she had, then she had done him a favor by not acknowledging it out loud. At least not yet. In response to her, all he could stammer out was an "Uhh...for sure. I'm Auron by the way...But wow, you were in that movie too? And the surfing competition? They had me as the stunt double for one of the main characters I guess, a Bosko? What about you?"

As Travin and the woman would take turns responding, a fourth man would approach the group. He seemed friendly and relatively care free, introducing himself as Zack. He too had been casted within the movie. How interesting, this movie seemed to enlist the services of a number of random beach goers. Auron couldn't help but wonder if they took had woken up here surprisingly, or if they came here out of their free will. Though he refrained from asking this, as he simply didn't know how to verbalize that question in the slightest. "What's up Zack, I'm Auron. Yeah I was in the movie too, what did-..." he paused abruptly upon noticing the corpse of a man wash up on the shore. Simultaneously, a small crowd began to form around him. "Holy shit, is that a dead body? Is that guy over there breathing? Should we check it out?"

Travin was standing with Auron when a woman walked up to them. She was dark skinned or well tanned, similar to Auron. Travin had heard Auron say something, but didn’t know what he was meaning by the sound until he turned and saw the women standing before them. It was quite clear why Auron had made the surprised sound as the women approached them. She was stunning, and he was pretty sure that he had seen her out on the water as well. Introducing herself as Aurora, Travin watched as Auron almost stumbled upon his words introducing himself and telling her about him being in the movie as well before getting himself under control. “Hay, I’m Travin, and I don’t mind if you join us” Travin would say in his normal calm voice. He had never really gotten worked up over a woman before. Always being able to control himself, it was a part of him that never really went away no matter the situation, he stayed in control.

Before they were able to get to talk too much with Aurora. Another walked up to them, introducing himself as Zack. With a carefree expression and smile on his face. Auron was the first to say anything as Travin turned to see who else was coming up to their little group. However, Auron stopped mid-sentence, staring off into the distance behind the new guy, Zack. Before abruptly asking about a dead body laying on the beach. Travin looked past Zack to get a look, seeing a crowd of people around someone laying down on the beach.

Travin would start to move towards the body. “I’m not sure” he would say as he started to walk in that direction. “By the way Zack, my name is Travin” He would add as an afterthought. Approaching the body laying on the beach, assuming the rest would follow. Travin would lightly push people out of the way, making room for the rest to get through. Getting closer, he could see a volley ball laying next to the guy, but could tell that he was not in fact dead as the man was breathing due to the rising and falling of his back. “Step back” Travin would yell into the crowd, “He needs room to breath” he would add. The crowd would slowly start to move further back. Taking a closer look at the guy, Travin could tell that he had been out at sea for quite some time due to the ragged appearance of his tattered attire, and long unkept hair.

“What you guys think should we call someone” Travin would ask the others. With just meeting everyone, he had no idea if any of them had any medical experience or not. He himself knew first aid, as was common practice back in Suna, but as far as medical jutsu or anything of the like he was lacking.

In a minute I'ma need a sentimental Man or woman to pump me up
BADBITCH L O V E

Aurora smiled towards the man named Auron; it was strange that they had similar first names, but chances are chances when the world is as large as it was. The other one would introduce himself, then a third would join their party making it a foursome; Aurora would reintroduce herself to the newest comer to the group; as they chatted, she would remain mostly silent, her eyes flickering over in the direction of the man that was brought up, following the rest of the group as they made their way towards the raft and the man, as the first two would inspect the man, she would sigh slightly, running back into the beach towards one of the many vendor type stations, grabbing the first aid kit; she had noticed that he had several scrapes and bruises on him and more than likely he was dehydrated on top of it.

With a room temperature water, as well as the first aid kit, Aurora would make her way back, tying her hair back up with one of the strands of braid in a messy but quick bun; as she dropped down to her knees, cracking open the water bottle as the man would begin to come to, she would remain calm; “Here, take a sip of this, I just want to check you over and make sure nothing is serious.” She would speak in a low toned voice, not wanting to be to loud, she would start from the bottom, checking both of his legs for any damage, before moving up – after several band aids, a few wraps and one water bottle, the man would thank her; “Where did… Where did you come from?” Aurora questioned him.

The man looked at the group of people staring carefully at each one of them, almost as if he was memorizing their appearances, moments after the puzzled looked; the mans eyes would widen, his voice still horse and crackly, he would shout out “WILSON!” with a determined cry, his hands flying around his sides before picking up a volleyball, it had a face drawn onto it; with quite the strangest look on it. “There ya are ol’ chap.” He would hug the ball tightly, with these actions, Aurora would take a stand, the heat of the day was certainly getting to this man, and as previously stated, there was a good chance he had been out on the water for quite some time.

She would take a moment to ponder, obviously this man was experiencing delusions; and thought that this volleyball was this ‘Wilson’ character, but at the same time… If he had been out on the water, who knows what exactly happened, “Help him up, let’s get him into some shade, cool him off, get him something more to drink and eat.” Aurora would speak again, “There is no visible ailments that require us to call for additional help, particularly in this case, as a kunoichi of Konohagakure, I have some training within the field of medicine. I’ve already mostly assessed the situation.” She would nod, her eyes scanning for a shady spot that would fit the group and their newest friend, and his own friend.

Her eyes would land on the perfect spot, sorted out with several chairs, a large palm tree giving off a decent amount of shade, along with an umbrella to complete the rest of the shade, with the wave of the leaves of the palm tree, the breeze there would keep them at their coolest. “Perfect.” She would point in the direction of the spot, assuming that at least two of them would help the man to his feet and bring him over to the shaded area, Aurora would go and get more to drink and eat for the man.

The last of her ryo, the most unfortunate part of it, but she decided to get enough food for the entire group, the name of the stand was ‘Soul Food’, the gentleman at the counter seemed to be a native of the country they were all currently residing in for the time being, his heavy accent and darkened skin color drew Aurora to him, she didn’t have much experience with people who looked the same way as her, and besides Auron at this point, she knew of no other darker skinned people… She had been making attempts to find others, but had been unsuccessful within the Leaf so far, but this was a perfect chance for her to connect with her people. “One large serving…Of everything.” She would smile brightly towards the man, his eyebrow would raise as he turned to look at her, “Ay, one, everything?” She would not towards him, pointing in the direction of the shaded area that hopefully sat her party of people; the man would nod, and the ryo would exchange hands, before the man would tell her they would bring the food over to them in that shaded area.

Aurora would turn heel and head back towards the shaded area, and hopefully to her group – as she almost reached the area, she would be stopped; “Miss!” A voice would shout out to her, catching her attention as she glanced towards the ocean, there stood another woman in a red one-piece bathing suit, her slightly tanned skin appearing rather… baked from the sun, “Yeah?” Aroura would answer, narrowing her eyes as she raised one of her arms to cover her eyes from the sun to better see the woman calling for her, “We need four people on lifeguard duty in a couple hours for an entire shift, would you and your group who are helping that washed up man be able to?” The woman would shout again, Aurora didn’t think to actually ask the others before nodding and heading back to them, it would be a surprise for them to be stuck together even longer.

Aurora would return to the party or group as some would call them, and take a seat near the man they had discovered on the raft, a cooler drink in hand than before, “Drink this one slowly.” She would smile towards him, before looking towards the other, “One of you might wanna find a table… We have a lot of food coming our way.” She would grin, thinking of the food and the taste it held, when she was by it, the smell was almost intoxicating; “We’ll get you something to eat here shortly, but for now… Could you tell us what happened? Where your from? What is your name?” She questioned, her eyes looking rather puzzled towards the entire situation.
