[Finally, after all this time! Mulder has found that much-desired basketball. He's in luck too, as it's well-inflated, not a sign of wear or tear on it. Too many times, he's come across half-deflated or otherwise messed up ones. But this one is perfect. It's as if there's finally some compensation for all the usual rounds of disappearances and so

Hoops? What are those? I've never shot a hoop.

[ Tenten is probably the densest when it comes to the human world at least she learns fast. I mean, after all, if she's a ninja with amazing accuracy sports are probably great for her! ]

[ufo_fanboy]

"Turning into King Arthur?"

[Yeah they would... have to set up a couple of teams somehow. Mulder could see how it'd be tricky with the disappearances and reappearances, but getting a couple groups of five once in a while... it could happen.]

Basically, I felt a compulsion to find a legendary sword and kill every dragon I could find. I went into the woods for days looking for a dragon, but, to no avail.

[ If it did happen, you're free to call on Tenten if you need an extra member! o/. ]

[ufo_fanboy]

Ahh, yes, the experiment. I think we all got more than our standard share of the fairytale genre on that one. Here's hoping they don't try horror or worse, Ice Capades, next.

[He definitely will!]

[projectiled]

Ice Capades....? Is that some sort of snow movie? [ On a scale of one to ten, Tenten gets a twenty on the confusion scale. ]

[ufo_fanboy]

I'm convinced it was a form of torture secretly invented by Soviets back in the Cold War. [Half-joking, half-serious on that one.] But for all intents and purposes, it involves... people ice skating. Theatrically.

[projectiled]

That sounds so boring, and, really weird. [ Seriously? What kind of sorcery is this... There are better things to spend your time on doing stuff besides Acting.... ON ICE... ]

[ufo_fanboy]

That's exactly how I feel about it. It's best it never happened. [At least he can spread the word on what to avoid at all costs, too. He feels his day is more complete somehow.]

[projectiled]

Why would anyone pick that over watching the Chuunin exam finals or anything? [ Ice Capades will be dying a slow death thanks to the combined efforts of Foxy and Tenten. ]

[ufo_fanboy]

With entertainment like the World Series or Superbowl, I have no idea. But what are the Chuunin exam finals?

[projectiled]

The Chuunin exam finals is the final of the Chuunin exams, when a Genin takes it to be promoted to a Chuunin. The five great ninja countries, and the lesser countries, hold a competition to see who has the most adequate fighters to become a Chuunin. It's basically a tourney style fight where one showcases techniques, intelligence, skill and strength. The proctors usually decide if you're made a Chuunin. You don't have to win a fight to be made a Chuunin, so this means all participants can be made Chuunin or none can.

[ufo_fanboy]

You have entire countries of ninjas?[He can't help grinning at the thought. Ninjas are just one of those instantly cool things.] That sounds intense... and exciting. I could see why it's a spectator event. 

[projectiled]

Ninjas run everything back home. The leader of a village is a ninja, the police are a ninja. We're basically free lance people that either go on dangerous missions, or, if we're just starting, low-level ones like helping out civillians. We're basically employed for the village and for the people. The tournaments are very intense. There's a huge possibility you can end up heavily injured, or dead. [ Her voice suddenly gains seriousness with the last statement because... if she talked about death with a smile on her face that'd just be creepy. ]

[ufo_fanboy]

So despite the spectator aspect, there's a much more serious side to these tournaments. [And of course he has to wonder, given how quick she is, how well she catches on to sports...] Have you participated in any of them?

[projectiled]

Yes, generally. The five nations had some very tense relations until recently, so, these tournaments have even influenced wars when one nation sees that a weaker doesn't have very competent fighters, they just simply invade them.

I participated in the Chuunin exams twice. The first time I couldn't make it past the preliminaries. I fought someone who was basically walking kryptonite. [ Her fighting a wind user is like bringing a gun to a knife fight. ] But, after a year of training, I breezed passed it and was promoted to Chuunin with my teammates.

[ufo_fanboy]

Sounds like an especially tough opponent. That's really impressive that you made it past one of those exams.

[It makes the FBI Academy seem easy, by comparison.]
