Akuhei pulls out both his puppets from their respective scrolls, smiling when he sees their sharp nails catching the sunlight in the grassy field, causing bright flashes as he moves his fingers, causing the two puppets to slash in a circle all around him, cutting down the grass as a warm-up. Finally, he stops their dance of death and deftly creates a pair of puppet strings from his mouth, using the back of his lower teeth to hold the string in place. Focusing the jutsu on Ama-no-Zako, the smaller, more womanly puppet, he pushes chakra along the invisible string connecting his mouth to her neck, causing her to speak. "Hey, Ao-Andon! Do you know what my favorite kind of horse is?" He has to stop focusing on the string connecting his mouth and Ama-no-Zako’s throat to push chakra along the string to Ao-Andon, and almost loses the string before giving the puppet string a small amount of focus, just enough to keep it from disappearing. Akuhei turns some of his attention to Ao-Andon, causing him to reply with his own dark, deep voice, meant to intimidate and scare anyone listening to him, even though this was only a test, and a joke at that. "Is it a Clydesdale?" He smirks a bit at the thought of the punch line he’d just come up with as he switches the focus of his jutsu again to Ama-no-Zako, giving her voice a sweet, gentle sound this time, making her sound almost caring and lovely, like he imagined his own mother would have sounded if she weren't dead. "Nope!~ It’s a bonk on the head!~" He moves his finger controlling her arm, causing her to reach up, with some difficulty due to their difference in height, and bonk Ao-Andon on his head, right between the two evil-looking horns, causing Akuhei to chuckle lightly. He begins practicing again to make sure he can switch back and forth without losing the chakra strings and trying out different types of voices for the two, going from sing-song and happy to angry and evil, even as he moves his attention back and forth between the puppets, soon able to make them both talk or sing at the same time. Grinning, he makes them sing a demented-sounding version of the Teddy Bear Picnic, making them start off nice and sweet, but slowly causing their voices to turn dark and sinister. "If you go out in the woods tonight, you're sure of a big surprise. If you go out in the woods tonight, you'd better go in disguise. For every bear that ever there was will surely gather there because today's the day the teddy bears have their piiic-niiic..."
