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]
His name's Riku. Handsome with short silver hair and a gorgeous bod. And he's not all looks too because he's the sweetest gentleman I know.
[Such a proud gurlfran, this one.]
[action]
Sakura can't help it, she just dissolves into giggles.]
Oh! I think I've already met him... he's your boyfriend! Lucky pig, you!
[action] 1/2
[action]
[action]
I~no~pig.
For real, he's excellent. I think I'm jealous.
[She says it with a wink, though, teasing.]
[action]
but Ino keeps calm and even snorts in response.]
What can I say, everything I have is worth getting jealous for.
[action]
[She likes her short hair, okay. ]
[action]
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.
[action]
Value on the market?! Just because you've got a boyfriend here, Ino-pig...! I am perfectly capable of getting a date if I want one, thank you!
[She just... hasn't wanted one. Yeah, that's right. She's had better things to do.]
[action]
Is that so~? [This sing-song tone accompanied by her smirk getting wider.] Wanna bet?
[action]
Hmph. I just got here - that's an unfair handicap, I hardly know anyone.
But I'll do it anyway!
[action]
Won't it feel even better if you win with that handicap? [Oh, she'll fan this fire even more.] That is, if you win.
[action]
But she'll show Ino, her and her smug face!]
You're on! I'll have a date by Valentine's Day!
[action]
[A friendly pat on the shoulder and a wink.] But, good luck.
[action]
It's more than enough time. I'll be fine, you'll see!
[Even if she's starting to have some misgivings about this plan...]
