Such A Long Walk

After an outstanding voyage across the sea, Oga had finally set foot on the great island of Moon Country. Oga along with a handful of other passengers flocked around the sand shore once they exited the ship to behold such marvelous scenery the country had to offer. Being rather tired and lightheaded from being awakened just minutes ago from the arrival alarm, Oga had some difficulty grasping what was real and what he was dreaming in his head. He stumbled a few steps on the shore and bumped into numerous bystanders who managed to be in his way. What made it worse was that he was carrying a rather robust backpack twice his size and six times his weight, making him a wrecking ball on the sea shore. "Sorry...," he would say after each person, until finally after a few minutes when he straightened himself back together. Now that he was more awakened his senses elevated to a more readable capacity. The sand which he stood on was blazing hot from the sun, and although wearing sandals he still managed to feel it radiating from under his feat. However because of the cool ocean breeze from behind, the two managed to cancel each other out in a stable harmony. As he straightened himself up, Oga saw quite a few people staring at him from the crowd. He could only imagine what they're thinking: "Oh a short redheaded kid with purple clothes and a humongous bag making a fool out of himself". But Ogatami didn't mind. The crowd started moving and so did he, making their way from the shore and into the city.

Ogatami and the legion of tourists that accompanied him from the boat were ambushed by Moon Country guards who would chaperon them for the remaining of their walk. From the boat, they'd been walking for at least ten minutes and were now located on a gravel walkway in a forest. The flashy armored guards were quite friendly and quickly melded into the group of people with friendly conversation and humor. Ogatami who straddled towards the front of the group wasn't approached by any of the guards but was eyed a few of them. He was very stoked to the the first to enter the city of Moon Country and see the sites first hand. Each step that he took and each thing that his wandering eyes caught while he walked would be remembered by him for a long time to come. After twenty minutes they finally made it inside the city and Ogatami was almost overcome by the loud music, casinos and endless story buildings and castles there were. His group finally disbanded into their own affairs and so did he. Although he had more important places to go to, he was compelled to at least play one casino while he was there. He did, and got thrown out because he was underage. Not matter, he continued his way out of the city and towards the tournament temple.

Ogatami was escorted by two guards inside the forest as he made his way towards the temple. He didn't know if they were patrol guards or escorting guards for competitors, but he didn't mind them being there to be quite honest. Judging from their feminine structure of their armor and voices, they were kunoichi. However unlike the ones before, they weren't the type to engage in friendly conversation, instead they just led Ogatami to the temple without a single word. Once Ogatami entered the temple he was confronted with it's lobby area. It was very large and would be considered equal to the Administration Building's lobby back in Konoha. The furnitiure was rich and the it was very clean. There were dozens of rows of chairs and long glass tables between them. Only a few people were present inside the lobby area which didn't strike Oga as odd, seeing as how he was rather early. He went up to the front desk lady who requested his information. "Ogatami Ekiguchi, I'm participating in the tournament!" He told her enthusiastically. She handed him a key and pointed towards the doorway. Oga thanked her and walked to his hotel room to get ready for his upcoming fights, this was going to be one hell of a ride.
