"Yes, we are barely able to crawl from the grave!" Belladonna chuckled and didn't seem to feel annoyed by the mean remark from Umaboozu. She was very used to it, all the mocking from the other family, all the mocking from other mafia organizations, it was her daily feast. Her answer could be considered as an automatic reply, it was just her way to have fun and study how people would react after she responded to their words gleefully. "Besides, I believe pouring alcohol on older people is one of the forms to show respect. So I am just respecting my elder!"
Unfortunately, it might be hard to hear Umaboozu's response to what she said when a woman suddenly showed up beside Belladonna and swung her hand toward the mafia. Her quick thinking and her agility let her duck an avoid the punch, but it might feel more festive if she paid her debt right away. Belladonna swung her umbrella to the other redhead, aiming it to her side while gleefully complimenting her, "Ambulia! What a lovely name!"Notes: Yay, catfight! Ambulia Saint

It was to seem that his words had fallen on deaf ears. Eru was to sigh, before then crossing his arms. It is of no use! It can be easy to be dejected by these turn of events, but how can he be, when his spirit had only just begun with ardor fervor?
In a warm acceptance of the way that this had begun to unfold, the boy was to sit atop the tree, just watching. Eru could feel a smile come over him- but why? It marked a critical moment for the boy, the time for him to understand and appreciate the consequences of his actions.
Hm~ what a unique world! Eru looked on toward the rioters with a rather warm smile, his chin placed atop his right palm. In his own world now- the boy was to chew his gum with zeal, extracting out every ounce of the flavor of the gum.
However, noticing Belladonna and John Pepper, two people met prior to the Exams, Eru was to grow with anticipation.
Eru: "Oi~ Bella and John! It is nice to see you two again!"

Kadath turned around just in time to see a large man coming at him with a bear hug. He staggered back, but it was too late – the big, burly man caught him and began to crush him. “Ack – “ he said, as he attempted to struggle free. Okay, he hadn’t signed up for this experience, dammit!
With a straining of all his limbs, Kadath broke free, albeit barely. Although he was still winded, he found himself with no choice but to retaliate – so he jumped up and attempted to catch the big, burly man in a tail swipe. “Hey, nothing personal, dude! And none taken!” he said, in his typical smart-alecky tone.
He really had no idea who this guy was, other than the fact that said guy was ostensibly the cook. Hey, at least the cooking had been good!

Coughing, Acha would pause for a second while trying to get back in the action. He would get smacked in the back, how ironic. He could let loose here and it would only help his grade, turning around he’d see two things that put a huge smile on his face. First was the bucktooth bandit, the second was the man he had kicked was helping form a circle around him and his backsmacker. He had said something to Acha, but he had been to focused on getting back in the action he hadn’t heard him. Figuring it better to not add insult to injury he’d give the man a fight.
“Yeah I did it, come earn your apology”
Acha thought that sounded cool enough, hopefully. He wondered what he did, he’d have to ask one of the audience later. It had been such a short amount of time did he crush someone on his fall? Maybe a pet, man if someone crushed his pet he’d be on a warpath. Hopefully it wasn’t something that serious, otherwise he might have to reveal some of his techniques. He had already made his allies no need to show off until necessary. That was another part of the test, to demonstrate ability, but not reveal too much early. What if there were some kind of piratical later or worse a direct combat competition. Acha liked to fight, but if something like a hunter’s license was on the line he knew that no partnership was truly safe.
He'd start measuring up the man who hit him. There wasn’t a lot to see, he looked mad, with a crinkly old hat on his head. He didn’t look like much, which worried Acha he had read enough books to know that the unknown could be just as scary as a physical threat. He’d start backing up to create some distance, his left first was up hovering a small distance from his face. While his right hand was balled at his side, he’d give the man one chance before he sprang into action. Afterall he didn’t even know what he had ruined

The fist landed on Acha's back but the sneak attack hardly did anything to the man. With a face twisted in a mix of lingering pain from his back and anger the young Okashiya scion barely held back from breaking his family taboo. One hand was on his head keeping the wrinkled hat in place and the other extended its index finger slowly. Temptation amidst rage flared up and for a moment perhaps Acha's fighting sense would warn him of the danger this lone finger possessed. Tenju grit his teeth and seemed to become even more angry briefly before the finger retreated and once more balled into a fist. Somehow that fist would give off much less of a dangerous vibe as Tenju swung another punch aimed for the rowdy stranger's jaw. Much like the first punch, it was an action full of wasteful movements. Not the trained jab or hook by a trained fighter, no. It was just the flailing fist of an amateur fighter. A purely emotional act without a lick of technique or skill. It was a miracle he had learned just enough form to make a proper fist that wouldn't hurt himself on impact.
Back in his village it was preposterous that Tenju would ever find himself in a fist fight. The prestige of his clan was too great with the locals. None ever sought trouble with him after all. Combined with his family teachings against using the clan techniques for violence and it was no surprise that Tenju lacked experience with brawling. But despite his own weakness and inexperience the young man did not shy away from this challenge. In fact, there was something unbelievably refreshing about slamming his fist into Acha's back earlier. Though it didn't ease his anger it was oddly satisfying about the clashing of flesh and the creaking of his bones on impact. A new sensation and emotion was bubbling up from within the mixture of pain and fury. A steak of pleasure ran through his nerves and a longing to do battle. The jumble of feelings caused his eyes to give off a wild and crazed expression as he looked back to Acha and shouted during the punch to his jaw, "Earn your face, scoundrel!"

The festivities had become fierce and lively. Two beauties battled before Umaboozu to the tune of the shamisen. A monkey-like lad had climbed up into the tree and cheerfully called out to friends. A burly man was slapped silly by a powerful tail swipe while not far away a minor grudge was forming between two fighters over a hat. The scene made the Zodiac laugh heartily as he slapped his knee. While he had not planned for things to break down into violence it was just a sign of how vigorous and ambitious this newest crop of hunter hopefuls were. Umaboozu was looking forward to seeing how many of them would pass this year. One of the women whispered in his ear and a forlorn look came over the middle aged man. "Already that time, eh?" He asked in a tone of sad acceptance. Slowly, Umaboozu stood up and clapped his hands with a boom. The loud crack made a gust of air pressure that swept across everyone to get their attention. The music stopped and fist no longer flew as everyone turned to see the Zodiac was about to address them.
"I hope you all haven't exhausted yourselves by horsing around! The time for the exams to begin has arrived, thank you all for coming to my banquet. Should any of you pass the exam and become licensed hunters, I encourage you all to come visit my team. We are always welcoming to bright new talents. Now then, it's time for the Hunter Exams to begin!"
The man pointed his finger upwards and the winds seemed to answer his summons carrying even more of the sakura petals across the banquet. In fact, the petals shed from the tree en masse causing not a single person to go untouched my the countless blossom petals. Only this time the petals seemed to be a vibrant pink. Those sensitive to nen would notice that a potent aura filled each one.
Sleep would take whomever the petals touched and even the use of ten or ren would not save them from this powerful sedative effect, in fact aura usage seemed to only make it stronger. The only ones not affected would be Umaboozu and the female servers of the banquet. His entourage of beauties all moved like lightning as they intercepted anyone who might hurt themselves as they fell over asleep. The boy that had climbed up into the tree was caught by Umaboozu and set down to the ground gently. Many hunter association personnel began to pour into the clearing from the forest and the sleeping contestants were gradually gathered up and transported elsewhere in secret. When the contestants woke up they would find themselves already in the midst of their first trial.
Unfortunately we had to skip some people here at the end, but I hope everyone that participated got to have a bit of fun as we prepared to start the exam. I look forward to writing with you all in Phase 1 as the first trial kicks off later today. Feel free to make final posts to wrap up whatever you were up to before being touched by the petals and falling asleep, but doing so is not required.
