1st Punch

[Action: Where the rivers meet in the village]

[Sakura's arrival in Luceti comes with a short, bitten-off yell of surprise and a splash as she drops into the icy water. The white-clad figure vanishes underwater, then reappears, struggling, fighting to surface long enough to catch her breath. It's shockingly cold, iced over in places -- although thankfully not where she fell -- and even if she knows nothing else yet, she knows she must get out of the water.]

[Flailing, gasping, reeling in shock from the sudden cold, it's extremely difficult for her to get atop the water as a ninja would normally go -- but she's too cold to swim properly, she knows that all too well, and with the ice besides, she has no other choice.]

[She's proud of her own strength and control, and she makes herself display it now, pushing up out of the water and working her way until she is balanced by chakra on the surface.]

[Now, though, she's exposed to the bitter air, soaking wet, with nothing but a thin, backless white dress to cover her. And she's freezing.]

[She makes her way toward the shore, where there's a journal waiting for her. Unfortunately, there doesn't appear to be a warm blanket or anything like one. Just the journal, with her name on it, and a biting chill to the air.]


[Video]

[Sakura's hair is is still damp when her face appears on the journals. She's managed to get dry and warmed up -- and much more warmly dressed than when she arrived -- but she looks disoriented, worried, and worn.]

I don't know what this place is, where it is, why it is. I'm not sure I even want to speculate. But if there's anyone... familiar out there, anyone who knows me -- I'm here.

Yup, that building there.

[He'll start heading towards it, but he'll offer her a shoulder to lean on if she needs it or not. But, he'll stop when she asks him that favour.]


Hmm? Yeah, no probs. I can go get you something to wear. No need to pay whatsoever. Money's kind of useless here anyways and heroes don't ask for payment.

[Ignoring that first question because the answer is probably evident.]

This is Luceti. It's an enclosure that we do not often leave. [Yeah, she'll come back to that.] There's a good bit of... [She hesitates just for a second, looking for the right word to describe the actions in the Malnosso organization of late.] ...political maneuvering in the higher-ups around here. They're fighting a war. [Which could explain a good bit of that political maneuvering, in all likelihood.

Temari shrugs one shoulder, lips pressed together, then speaks again.]
We're their soldiers and their test subjects.

[He doesn't expect her to play nice, but his own interactions with Masaomi will betray later on that he actually thinks very fondly of him. He's not his best friend, but he's one of them. Even if he gives him more headaches than most.

He can be more than a loser, when he puts his mind to it and when people give him the chance. Shikamaru's seen it, and doesn't point it out to others because he wants them to see it. And more than that, he wants Masaomi to earn it for himself.]


Hm... a lot of that's best discussed in person. [Subtle hint as to the nature of the journals.] When I get out of the clinic, I'll meet with you.

[And we can fast-forward to that, should you like.]

Indeed. It'll be like you never left! [ ....That's a little creepy from Tenten's end. ]

[He's never been hugely comfortable with it, though in the past month he hasn't had much choice...]

It's not the best place for private discussions, though I've gotten used to it. I figured you'd want to use your time to get the rest of your things and settle.

[Since that's time-consuming.]

[He's fifteen and herp derptastic. Can't help but love him...or you know hit him for being too optimistic.]

No probs. I'll see you at the clinic in a few minutes okay?

[And he'll just bound off to the clothing store. He's sure she can take care of herself from here. Besides it's like a two minute walk to the clinic now anyways.]

It's a bit more complicated than that. Shikamaru can explain it better than I. [Well. She could explain it just as well, but she's also being a bit lazy about it.]

If we don't fight when we're expected to, we die. [And sometimes, they die anyway.]

It's worked for them so far.
weaponry: (I glances at this ignorance.)

[personal profile] weaponry 2013-01-22 07:39 am (UTC)(link)
Why not? I mean, you'd know them, they'd know you and stuff, right? Does it have to do with locations or something?

Two days, like I said.

[That feels soon, for how long he's waited.]

[She likes her short ugly hair?]

If it makes me more beautiful, why not? [A smirk.] You know, ever since your hair got that short, your value on the market sharply decreased.

[Well, he's back with fifty some odd layers of clothing.

Okay maybe not that much but it looks like he's carrying a pile.]

Got some stuff! Didn't know what'd fit so I just grabbed everything I could.

Allow me to aid you - your wings must not be harmed!

[He attempts to pull the jacket off in order to punch wing-holes into it.]
