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.

[Action]
And that's it, we're stuck with what's brought here by... whomever?
[And she casts a rather jaundiced eye over him.]
I hope that where we're going has more clothes for you, too.
[Action]
[And... he panics.]
Oh - I forgot my clothes! [He looks back briefly but re-focuses himself ahead.] N-no matter. They shall be easily retrieved later. I shall find temporary clothing while you garb yourself, Sakura-san!
[Action]
Please do.
[But the words are an automatic response; she's turning over what he said.]
The world itself...
Why do these... Malnosso? Why do they imprison us? And for that matter, how big is the enclosure?
[Action]
It is approximately 190 miles east to west and 85 miles north to south. And the enclosure is surrounded by a barrier that none can penetrate.
[Action]
Well, at least it's a large prison. Who else is here?
[As she speaks, she catches sight of what is obviously the clothing shop -- at least it's clearly marked, enough that she picks up her pace, eager to get inside, warm, and into something dry.]
[Action]
Ah - there are people here from various worlds I never could have dreamed of! But of our own world... there are quite a few of our fellow ninja, many of whom are from our village! [He frets slightly at the prospects of having to mention Sasuke's presence.] My whole team is here, with the exception of Gai-Sensei... as are Shikamaru-kun, Ino-san and Kiba-kun! There is also... Temari-san...
[Action]
Your... whole team, you said?
[Action]
[Action]
[If he somehow doesn't know, then she's not going to be the one to say it!]
I... I guess so.
[And hurrying to change that subject...]
So... why do we both suddenly have wings?
[Action] 1/2
SAKURA-SAN, NEVER LET HARM BEFALL YOUR WINGS!
[Action]
Eh... that is, the wings are also a mystery! But for some reason, they sustain our life here. So... their protection is essential. [A smile.] Do mine look charming?
[Without waiting for an answer, he leaps up and drop-kicks open the door of the item shop as he approaches it.]
[Action] 1/2
[Action]
I don't think the door warranted such treatment, Lee.
[She throws a look over her shoulder at her own wings; sodden from the river, they've been drying out and they're as cold as the rest of her.]
Wings to sustain our lives? I'll have to study them.
[Because if she's to be a proper medic, she'll need to know how to treat them.]
[Action]
Most structures here are self-repairing, Sakura-san. It makes it easier for one to display power freely.
I am sure you can reach breathtaking discovers! I only urge you to ensure you do not harm yourself in your studies.
[Action]
[Not unless there's good reason, at least.]
[She just heads into the shop, immediately looking to the clothing -- and perhaps for a towel as well. Cold air doesn't dry you out well, and she's still quite damp.]
[Action]
I am grateful for that. And I wish you luck in the research! First, we must clothe ourselves...
[He grabs a green leotard and holds it up to himself.]
Hm, this may be close enough...
[Action]
[Really? Do they have to?]
[Sakura just sighs and looks for something decent enough for her. And she can't help uttering a small sound of surprise as she does indeed find her own clothes here -- both her regular clothes and a joint army uniform as she was taken in.]
They do have them...
[Action]
Indeed. And they look no worse for the wear!
[Action]
[Which leads her thoughts in all kinds of unhappy directions -- mostly along the lines of being undressed, operated on, and then redressed by strangers, all without her knowledge. Ugh.]
Well, I have them, and there are some cloaks and warm things here... [Since most of her own clothing is chosen for Konoha's very pleasant climate.]
[Action]
[Action]
There's no cashier...
[Action]
[Action]
[It's a mutter, her distaste with it all.]
Well, that's some kind of relief, then.
[Action]
[Action]
[At least she's warming up now, snugly wrapped in the coat, though her hair's still rather damp and chilly. Maybe there's a hat she can find...]
[She finds herself squirming uncomfortably, though, with her wings aching and sore, compressed under the warm coat.]
