The Samurai vs The Ninja [War RP #2]

[Tadakatsu (忠勝)]

The camera fades on to show Tadakatsu walked down the hallway, still in the armor of his ancestors, the armor sounds heavy as he walks but the man seems to carry it around like it is his second skin as he turns the corner just in time to come face to face with a man dressed in a cheap Helloween ninja costume; causing Tadakatsu to stop in his tracks as the man before takes a puff on his joint and almost walks right into the honored warrior. John Carter stops and blinks as he coughs on the smoke from his inhaling, the sudden encounter making him improperly dispose of the smoke.

..::John Carter::..
[coughs, pounding his chest] Whoa, we got statues moving around the SEF backstage again. [laughs between coughing as his water water lightly] Where is that janitor or interior designer? I'm going to kick his ass for moving the statue in the middle of the hallway.

Giving a disproving grunt to the mockery, Tadakatsu says nothing and sidesteps to John Carters side as he continues on his way. The movement makes John Carters eyes widen as he realizes the statue was actually John Carter, more of realization than actual surprise as he turns around and runs back in front of the man, making Tadakatsu stop once more as he just stares right at John.

..::John Carter::..
Hey hey! You're the Samurai! Well I'm a ninja...a kung-fu master....[laughs lightly to himself, looking at the expressionless eyes behind the Menpo] Geez man, you really need to take it easy. [extends his arm] I don't do this often...maybe never, oh well. But you are way too tense, here...take a puff from my sensei and you will fell relaxed in no time.

Tadakatsu looks down at the wisping joint in John Carters hand before looking back to John Carter and attempting to sidestep the man once more before John Carter sidesteps as well, getting back in his path.

..::Tadakatsu::..
Do not provoke me. Our time to fight is not here. We shall do out battle in the ring; it is then that you shall pay for your mockery of my heritage. [Tadakatsu states in a firm yet unattached tone]

With that said, the Japanese warlord makes the movement to be on his way again but sees John Carter shift as well, showing the man was not going to let up as he lifts the joint a little higher.

..::John Carter::..
Trust me, man...you are hurting for this. [John Carter nods with a slight laughter]

Tadakatsu gives a disapproving growl from under his Menpo as he raises a hand with surprising speed, knocking the joint from John Carters hand as it flings to the side, hits the wall and falls to the ground. John Carter's eyes go wide as he just stares at his discarded joint, like he needs a moment to comprehend that the man just did that to his joint...his weed. Tadakatsu steps to the side once more and continues on his way before John Carter gains this flash of irritation and grabs his ninja mask, pulling it over his face.

..::John Carter::..
You did NOT just mess with my weed, man. [Does exaggerated karate moves] Come back here, I'm going to ninja kick your ass back to the Ming dynasty! [Notices that Tadakatsu keeps walking] Ooooh, take this!

John Carter pulls out a plastic ninja star and throws it, the poor quality makes it miss as he takes a second one out and throws it, this one being more accurate as it hits the back of of Tadakatsu's kabuto. The samurai stops dead in his tracks as John Carta takes a karate stance, propping up one leg as he lifts his arms for the stereotypical crane stance. Making a kung-fu ki sound like in the movies.

..::Tadakatsu::..
[looks down at the plastic ninja star and then back to John Carter] First of all, the Ming Dynasty is from the history of China, not Japan. Second, I issued a challenge are you are the one to answer it. You accepted to fight me in the squared ring of honor and now you disrespect my family by throwing kids toys at the armor of my ancestors. You have drawn a serious line in the sand, American; now be prepared to face the retaliation that shall wash over you like a turbulent wind. Be prepared to face the fires of war and pray to whatever God it is you may worship; but pray not for victory...pray that you come out of this fight a man. A war always changes a man...for better or worse, tonight we are going to discover what that change...will do to you.

Tadakatsu does a slight bow of his head and turns around, walking back down the hallway as John Carter blinks once before lowering his foot and walks over, picking up his joint as he he tries to place it between his lips but the ninja mask gets in the way. Making a disgruntled sound of annoyance at the fabric as he pulls it down roughly and places the joint between his lips.

..::John Carter::..
No one fucks with my joint, man....no one.

John Carter casts an over-the-shoulder glare at the man who is no longer there before paying his full attention back to his joint and almost instantly his annoyance seems to fade away as he only laughs to himself and walks off camera.
