TO VIOLET

[itsjustdust]

Who: All the Ninja and tagalongs meeting up. (Anyone who just wants to see one of this crew who is in the city is welcome too!)
Where: Violet City
When: Late evening on May 8th.
Summary: Yet another new addition joins the collection of Shinobi.
Rating: PG (can be modified as needed)
Log:

Obito kind of pitied Sakura whenever she got here, if how excited Naruto was was any indicator. The guy was practically vibrating in place. Still, he was admittedly really relieved when he saw Tenten. With the whole vanishing thing Sasuke pulled he'd been kind of... worried.

[aflashoffaith]

I am.

[He's sincere with that, despite how it conflicted with the more logical side of him that kept saying there had to be more to their appearance here than it seemed. That they should really be back home instead, even if there wasn't much of a home for some of them to return to.

Kushina had said something similar though, that they should enjoy their time here and be grateful that they even had any time at all to be together. While it still felt selfish, not entirely right... he was.]

I'm glad that you, Kushina, and Naruto are here with me too.

...I could do without the music, though.

[itsjustdust]

....Oh yeah. [He blinked, tipping his head to stare into the sky.]

I tend to mostly tune it out if I'm not actively listening to that. You know you can tell where someone is by that?

[aflashoffaith]

A stronger man than I, then. [He'll get used to it eventually. Hopefully.]

I'd noticed it was different between towns. The routes too, what little time we've spent there. I suppose it would be a little more helpful if I recognized more of it though.

[itsjustdust]

Just remember what it's like where you started. If that music isn't the one you hear backgrounding someone who claims they're new, they've either already gone a distance, or they're with Yeam Rocket.

[aflashoffaith]

Noted. What all can you tell me about Team Rocket?

[itsjustdust]

That it isn't really all made up of people who want to be there. Itachi's on that team, actually, so I expect we'll start getting information sooner or later, and Tenten has a contact in the ranks too. There's a guy named Bowser who put out a hit on pretty much all the shinobi, though he knows me and Sasuke on sight, and seems to have gone really quiet lately. The police actively keep an eye out for them, but don't seem to do anything about them unless they're wearing their uniforms, and they're much more organized than anyone else in Johto and Kanto, for the most part.

[aflashoffaith]

Hm.

[With the shinobi mostly scattered it was difficult to say that they could be rather organized themselves. But with two possible sources of information he hoped any surprises would be kept to a minimum.]

Itachi contacted me when I first arrived. [And dropped the horrible info bomb.] Have you spoken to him recently?

[itsjustdust]

Oh yeah, he keeps in contact. Gotta redo my text settings though or he'll complain at me.

[aflashoffaith]

What's wrong with your text?

[itsjustdust]

[Here sensei, let him type you up a sample.]

This is my text :D

[Then he cleared it and looked at him expectantly.]

[aflashoffaith]

[Obito. Obito.

Why.]

I can see why that might not be... preferable.

[cough]

[itsjustdust]

Most people seem fine with it but Itachi's got issues and Kimbley asked me to not use it so I should look around for other options, you know?

[aflashoffaith]

That sounds like a good idea.

[He doesn't want sparkle text either!]

[itsjustdust]

[When did he say he intended to make it stop sparkling sensei?]

Yeah so, I'm trying to work out how to fix it.

[aflashoffaith]

[You kids and your weird fads.]

Any other plans while we're here? Since you don't necessarily need the badge like the others.

[No being a bum on sensei's watch!]

Might not be a bad idea to work for awhile.

[itsjustdust]

I'm gonna try and see about getting my pokemon to give me some eggs actually. I'll probably pick up a job again. If I do I'm stuck for at least a week enough!

[aflashoffaith]

You might make more off the eggs too, huh?

You'd think they'd be a little more lenient on the days we're required to work given that we're encouraged to travel. ...Can't say I'm that bothered at the fact I'll have to stay in one place for a week though. Looking forward to it really.

[itsjustdust]

[He gave him a little grin.] Hey, I'm not the one who got arrested because I was overeager to take off. That was Naruto. I've been making fun of him for it ever since. I think he thinks I've gone further than I have with it, it's great, he's so easy to poke at.

[aflashoffaith]

[Well that's good--

Wait.]

Naruto was arrested?

[itsjustdust]

[Have a moment of awkward silence there Sensei. Whoops. And a sheepish laugh.]

He didn't mention? Yeah, he was so gung ho about seeing Sasuke immediately that he... kind of ran out on his job and got arrested.

[aflashoffaith]

No, he didn't. Must have slipped his mind.

[All things considered though, it could have been a lot worse- it wasn't like Naruto had been arrested for doing something completely terrible.]

[itsjustdust]

Yeah, I think I'm the only person from the original set of shinobi who didn't get arrested, have a warrant put out on them or have a hit put out on them.

Is that good or bad?

[aflashoffaith]

[Alright, that gets a laugh out of him.]

I guess we shouldn't expect anything less from a group of shinobi.

[itsjustdust]

[He gave him a wry smile.]

Yeah... did end up under house arrest for a couple weeks cause of one of Sasuke's close allies though. Was noooot a happy couple weeks. All the tension!

[aflashoffaith]

It's too much to ask for you all to stay out of trouble, isn't it?

[If he had higher level Pokemon he'd probably be getting into a fair amount of trouble himself. For now though... it was smarter to stay quiet and under the radar.]

I'm surprised being cooped up together didn't end up with more trouble, honestly.
