VIDEO🍃
Melodic music fills the ear of a girl who hears better than most and that alone is what snaps her fully alert. When she last thought of her own free will, there was a battle raging on around her with no time to think of the simpler things in life like music and friends she'll never see again. There's no familiar warmth of chakra that belonged to another and Kakashi--what happened to him? So many unanswered questions plague at her mind, but the most important of them all? Where was she? Normally she might be able to pick up on a powerful Genjutsu before, but this didn't feel like anything she's studied before. Her body felt unlike her own as she felt something sink to the bottom of her stomach.
[ VIDEO A: EARLY MORNING ]
I don't understand. [ An onslaught of helplessness plagues Sakura and so when the PokeGear is nudged on by accident (she doesn't bother to treat her "belongings" carefully since they aren't her own), she's unaware that the scene is being shown live to so many others. ] This isn't supposed to be... None of this makes sense... I need to return... Naruto--[ The name spoken with more worry and fondness than ever before. ]--just hang on.
[ All of these phrases come in broken and cut abruptly at times, the pack shifting with her movements. When it jerks suddenly and pops out from the pack being placed roughly onto the ground, there's a teenager girl who looks more worn than anything else (those dark spots under her eyes aren't doing much for her looks) clad in a green vest staring down at the PokeGear as though it were a foreign object. To most newcomers in New Bark Town, it usually is foreign. ]
This is? [ Shaking her head, she picks it up and places it back into the pack without knowing any better. A shout for her attention though might keep her from dismissing it entirely. ]
[ VIDEO B: EVENING ]
[ Once Sakura's discovered more about this world (as well as the inevitable "no escape" aspect), it is only appropriate that she gives a more proper introduction. This time though she's without the scratches and scrapes (they're just covered up by her hair and bandages) and she's changed into a fresh pair of clothes. Also of note is the fact her hair is loose with nothing holding it back now, no for now she looks like more peaceful than she did this morning. Holding the PokeGear, it seems she's at least aware of it's purpose now. ]
Hey there, I'm new to this place so I'll ask for your patience in advance if that's alright. My name is Sakura Haruno and there's no need to explain the situation to me--I understand. [ Boldly declaring her name? No, she just knows the PokeGear gives away her full registered name anyway so there's no point in concealing it. ] We're all stuck here no matter what's going on back at home, but if there are theories as to how we can return, let's hear them. I have the time.
[ Plenty of time now, she might add if it didn't feel attention seeking in any way. ] Curiously, do people talk about where they come from here? I'm interested in hearing about other villages if you're not too busy. Huh, that's kind of a personal question too, isn't it? Sorry, sorry. [ Waving her free hand apologetically. ] Been a while since I've had a normal conversation so I'm acting all weird. Anyway, it'd be nice if someone replied to this... anyone, anyone at all really.
[ While she did start off headstrong with her broadcast, by the end of it her voice cracks to indicate how feeble she really is. There's a reason she's not outright traveling like most do on their first day. Behind her is a small room with an ordinary looking bed--an indication that she's retiring somewhere within the starter town for the evening. ]

[aaaaaaand, he really can't keep himself from saying anything anymore.]
I have to admit I'm looking forward to meeting the other member of my son's team.
no subject
It doesn't fall far--after all, she's sitting on a bed so it isn't more than a foot. ]
Y-Your son?
no subject
Of course. Ah, well, he does take after Kushina a lot more I think, even if he has my hair.
[He hadn't missed the waver in her voice in the initial broadcast, how defensive she had been in answering him. There was no forgetting what was happening back home, what they had left behind, but a little light-hearted conversation added to the end of more serious might not be such a terrible thing.]
no subject
[ Now that he's mentioned it, the similarities do show between father and son. Maybe she was overlooking it due to the general anxiety with speaking with a
deadhokage. ]I never knew... um, well I don't think there was anyone who knew. He wouldn't have been--[ She cuts herself off at that. No need to tell him that his son was a LOSER growing up. ]
Sorry, this is a shock.
no subject
[No need to discuss the details over that particular revelation, but here in this world there was no reason to hide their relation, no need to keep things quiet to protect his son.
He'd take any chance he got to brag about Naruto.]
I should probably let you go though, to get some rest. I have a feeling we'll both be traveling a good bit in the coming days and you've probably got replies from the others to get to.
[Surprise! You get to hang out with daddykage isn't it exciting]
no subject
[ Her voice is soft to reflect the distance in her mentality. Naruto, the son of the... No, as much as she wants to say it's not possible, she can tell just in the way he always insist that he was going to become the next Hokage. ]
Right, we'll both be traveling... [ She's going to be traveling with Naruto's parents. She's going to be traveling with him. ] Well, even if I neglect my sleep now, that won't slow me down!
no subject
[His tone was sympathetic. It had surprised him really just how much he'd always relied on chakra to feel safe, how much of an ordinary everyday thing it was to be able to sense any strange movement, other people moving around him.
The traveling though, it reminded him a lot of away missions, of only allowing himself to fall into some sort of half sleep so he couldn't be taken by surprise. Not the most restful, but not exactly unfamiliar either.]
I'm looking forward to meeting you in person though.
no subject
I think the music will be the hardest part. Difficult to listen in on who or what might be approaching you if there's something to drown it out.
Alternatively, it can be used to our advantage. A step with each note to mask our movements.
[ Her manners slap her back in the face and she nods again. ]
It'll be a pleasure to meet one of the greatest her--er--oh, you do know about that, don't you?
no subject
[And while he's pleased and impressed about what a good little shinobi she is...]
It's alright, I'm aware.
I don't believe my student is though, I haven't talked to him about it yet. But everyone else...
[They were all from after his time. It's not something Minato was actively looking to talk about though, that night still fresh in his memories, the last thing he'd experienced before ending up here.
Being fairly open about it helped, oddly enough. Most people wouldn't press for details out of politeness.]
no subject
I carry a lot of secrets with me right now. [ She adds as though it could alleviate his burdens or maybe she's implying that he isn't alone like this. ] It'll be hard, but we were conditioned to do so.
If you need to, um, if you need someone there for you...
no subject
Minato wasn't ready to make shish kabob jokes like his student did about his own death.]
It's kind of you to offer, thank you. And I extend the same to you Sakura.
[He wouldn't be taking her up on it though- Minato didn't truly open up to very many, despite his tendency to be, at times, a little emotional. But the returned offer was still sincere, even if he thought she might feel similarly about it.]
no subject
[ He's right in thinking that. Sakura might slip up every now and again (with the kind of anger spats she had, it was inevitable). For the most part, her mind is steel. ]
I'm going to get that rest now. Take care.
