"What in the world is this place..."Dodging the floods of excited children as they rushed past, Nase had found himself in the middle of the world's largest amusement park in the world. And he wasn't having the best time off the bat. In fact, he wasn't even there for fun at all. He was there on a mission that he got told about by an old friend of his. "Oh, hey. Is this Nase?""...How did you get this numb-""Don't worry about that!"It was the researcher that he met in the internship he did at the Capsule Corp. some days ago. She told him that there was a strange occurrence happening inside of Pilaf Land that he could check out, in case he was still looking for work. "Wow, that's actually pretty nice, thanks for that. I just have a question.""It's no problem. What's your question?""What's Pilaf Land?""...You're serious?"Now, he had found himself inside of the park, looking around trying to find who he was supposed to talk to about the job. Shuffling through the crowds of people, staring at the confusing costumes and paid actors that were dressed up and avoiding the maniacal 'Monkey Boy', he found the person he was told to meet, along with another person as well. They had blonde spiky hair and were wearing a full white gi that exposed his chest. He was almost much paler and shorter than him which confirmed Nase's original assessment of him. They were complete opposites. Hopefully, this wouldn't lead to an issue, work-wise. "So... you finally showed up." Nase turned to the employer with a look of confusion and agitation. "What do you mean? We weren't given a time to work with. I can't be late if there's no specified time."The man looked upset with Nase's reasoning, but continued on as, trying to change the subject. "A-anyway, you two are here for the mission we advertised, yeah?" Nase nodded his head and stood still letting the Pilaf Land worker continue. "So, if you follow me, I'll show you the problem here." The man walked off through some of the buildings until he had led both Martial Artists to what looked to be a large field of carrots, all encompassing an empty area behind an amusement ride. "So... Carrots. You called us to help of some farmers or something? Or get rid of some?"The man got upset at Nase's answer, but still looked like he understood the confusion. "...Not really. You see, not all of these are just carrots..." "Ya lost me."The man shook his head and pulled out a carrot to show him. "Here, you two can sense ki can't you, look at this." Nase squinted at the carrot suspiciously and started letting his ability rise until his eyes fully glowed green. "...Holy crap, that's a guy."

Achido was playing a boxing game on his PC when an email came through, causing the game to crash completely. "Ahh, man! What is this crap?!" He shouted at the screen, as he clicked to view the email. Once it loaded up, the young man began to read what was sent to him. Something about special ki infused carrots around the theme park of Pilaf-land. "Ki infused carrots? What kind of stupid add is this?" He said, as he accidentally clicked the button to accept the invitation. "Darn it, now I have to go!" He said in frustration.
Achido pushed the rolling chair away from the desk and looked outside the treehouse window to see the theme park in the distance. "I might as well see what all this carrot nonsense is about." He muttered to himself, as he stood from the chair and crawled out the window. The blonde martial artist then jumped and flew off into the direction of the theme park.
When Achido landed inside the park, he was quickly swarmed by parents and their kids. It was a crazy day and it seemed that everyone was enjoying themselves for the time being. "Hey, slow down, you might kill someone out here!" He yelled out, as a young kid ran right past him, almost knocking Achido to the ground. He loved kids, but he knew when to step in and make sure they wouldn’t cross the line again. As he walked by a few booths that the theme park set up, he was stopped by one of the employers and made sure that Achido knew he was there to meet him and someone else. The blonde teen gave the guy a slight nod, before noticing a boy with brown hair and a white tee. Achido followed them as the man explained what they were to do, but it all seemed a little confusing. "Carrots with Ki?" He asked.
When the man asked if they could sense ki, Achido gave him a slight nod, then closed his eyes and did just that. He opened his eyes when he heard what Nase had said, then let out a slight chuckle. "A guy? Are you insane? That is clearly a carrot! How did they get the ki infused with it, though?" He asked curiously to the employee of Pilaf-land’s theme park.

With his day of fun in the water park section of Pilaf Land now over, Beruto was spending today looking for any other job opportunities the park might have in store. Considering the disaster his life guard job turned out to be, he wasn't particularly thrilled that the only, even remotely interesting option appeared to be something about helping local farmers. Then again it didn't come as much of a surprise either, none of the other open positions would let him forego one of those ridiculous uniforms. The flier Beruto was looking at though interested the boy for another reason, his background as a farmer. Sure he couldn't sense external Ki worth a damn, but he knew his carrots and was pretty sure he could BS his way through the job without too much difficulty. That thought in mind, the shirtless, red haired teen set out across the park towards the neighboring farm where he was supposed to find the day's employment.
When he arrived at the farm however, Beruto had just missed the farmer leading two other young men out to the field. Not one to be left out or behind, the red haired teen hurried after the trio and caught up with them just in time to hear the tail end of the two other boy's incredulous reactions. Yes, this was indeed a ridiculous situation, but this entire country was ridiculous so people being turned into carrots seemed to be par for the course. “Don't worry sir. We'll get your field sorted out for you.” the shirtless teen proclaimed with the confidence anyone who knew the boy would come to expect from from him. Of course he didn't know either of the two young men in the company of the farmer but that wasn't going to stand in Beruto's way. He was sure his confidence alone would be enough to win the pair over, but on the slim chance it wasn't quite enough, the red haired teen stepped up to look at the carrot in question and flexed his farmer's knowledge a little just to make sure.
"Oh yeah, look at that. This carrot is totally strange. The lateral roots are all squiggly. And don't get me started on the petiole." he commented on carrot's anatomy. Of course there was nothing strange about the carrot at all, but Beruto couldn't sense the Ki emanating from it, not even the slightest flicker. He wasn't about to admit that though and still banked on his ability to BS his way through the job.

Hearing the two converse, the Pilaf Land employee sighed and held it at the ends with both hands gingerly. "Well, you're both right technically." Snapping it in two, a small dynocapsule fell out of the carrot and quickly enlarged into full size, revealing a large container that crashed into the ground in front of him, almost landing on Nase. "What the?!"The pod that was released from the carrot opened up and the bumpkin-looking man's groans could be heard as the door opened. Looking back at the man employing them in shock, he sighed a minimum wage worker's sigh, and spoke to the two of them once again, while putting a hand on his face. "Now you two realize the issue here. At first, it was that we didn't know what caused these to become 'ki-infused' in the first place, but then, we found out where some of the farmers went and..." Noticing Nase's silent surprise and Achido's reaction, the worker paused for a moment before continuing. "...You two both signed the non-disclosure contracts, right?" "Uh..."The man handed Nase a form which was an extremely long contract that he squinted through, before being handed a pen. Reading for a bit, he ended up writing his name for the contract and turned back to the field. "So, you need us to get rid of these, gotcha. But... you guys really have no idea what caused this?"The older man slowly shook his head, and spoke again monotonously. "Look, I'm just here to make sure you tw-three... do the work." Shrugging as he did so, Nase turned his back to the 'supervisor' and removed his jacket, leaving only his white undershirt. "Eh. It's not like it's that much work..."Rolling up the jacket, he dropped it on the ground and squatted down to begin dragging the carrots out of the ground. After pulling out some of them, he would begin cracking the one's with people in them open around the first one that got let out. "One of you can help the guys, right?"After a while of this, Nase took up a ki-infused carrot that didn't have a capsule inside of it. "Huh, I wonder if..."Wiping it off for a bit, he slowly took a bite of it and chewed for a bit. "Ugh, gross!"He immediately regretted it.

Achido just cocked his head a bit at the words from the theme park employee, because he had no idea if there was truth in his words. Seeing as he had to show them to explain it better, Achido was stunned with what he was seeing. Dynocapsules within the carrot, that held people inside? This was all confusing to the teen, but he didn’t just come to stand around, he wanted to get straight to the point and finish up what he had started.
As the employer asked if they had signed the documents, Achido shook his head and grabbed the paper and pen to sign it as they were asked. The job seemed simple enough and Achido was ready to get things underway, but it seemed that a third person showed up at the last minute. "The name is Achido." He announced, as he gave a soft wave to both Beruto and Nase.
With Nase quickly getting to work and digging up the carrots and letting the people free, Achido quickly went over to assist them in any way possible. He helped carry off two men and sit them down on the curb, before going to help out any others who were freed from the weird carrots. "This has to be one of the weirdest things I have ever witnessed." He admitted, as he watched Nase crack open a few more of the carrots, freeing more people from the everlasting doom of the easter bunny!
Achido looked over to Beruto with his brow raised and a curious smirk upon his face. "Have you seen anything like this before? I’m starting to realize just how crazy this place really is.." He said to the redheaded teen, while noticing that Nase had finished digging up all the remaining carrots. His attention quickly went back over to the brown haired man. "Awesome! I’m glad you were dragged into this mess!" He added.
