a kick in the teeth is good for some
a kiss with a fist is better than none

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. ]

[ What kind of nurses just let someone who woke up from a coma walk out without giving them proper instructions? Sakura's mad disappointed with the healthcare system here. ]

I'm new to this area, but that seems strange. You shouldn't exert yourself and you should especially be wary about communication of this sort. Most coma patients suffer from a loss of impulse control so you might end up saying something you'll regret.

[Yumi's rather impressed with that kind of knowledge. Really impressed.]

Were you some kind of nurse back home?
notchinese: (Woah)
6th-May-2013 11:17 am (UTC)
Yes. [ Seems innocent enough to answer. Nurse. Medic-nin. All the same thing to her. ]

Does this world not employ them?

I think you can...but I'm not really sure. Me and Shino were the paperwork guys when we worked at the Pokecenters.

[May or may not have intentionally dropped Shino's name.]
notchinese: (Sorry you're kinda breaking up)

[ That doesn't go ignored by Sakura, but what kind of ninja hones in on a possible ally's name without gaining further information? Not Sakura. ]

What sort of paperwork? I find it strange that they would release confidential information to employees so freely or well, it should be confidential. You wouldn't want people to know you've been sick, right?

It bugs me really that they did that. [ Okay fine, she'll drop a hint too. ]

How should I know? All we did was just organizing them.

[After hearing Sakura's choice of wording, Yumi decided to just be straightforward with her.]

They didn't really say about the other workers.. Only reason I knew about him is because I travel with the guy. And Naruto. You know them? [Of course you do.]
notchinese: (Ugh)

We went to school together.

[ And grew up together. And went to war together. There's a lot of unspoken history that doesn't need to be said--her tone is indication enough of how valuable they are to her.

Yes, even Shino. ]
Are you... Yumi?

[Judging by that tone of voice, Yumi doesn't need to question their relationship with each other. Shei'd recognize that tone anywhere.]

Yes. Its nice to meet you.
notchinese: (Alright!)

They haven't been giving you any trouble, have they? Naruto can be a real pain to deal with, but I can set him straight if he has been difficult with you.

[ Just a bit too quick to threaten him there, Sakura. ]

I wouldn't worry about Shino. He's been on good behavior since day one. Naruto, on the other hand, not so much. He even managed to get him and Shino arrested within the first month.
notchinese: (Well when you put it that way)
7th-May-2013 12:55 pm (UTC)
[ A sigh. ] That sounds like him.

There haven't been any more of those kind of incidents I'll hear about later down the road, right?
punches: (Default)
7th-May-2013 02:18 pm (UTC)
Not that I know of, no.

[Then again, stuff might've happened during her coma, who knows.]

Has Naruto already talked to you about traveling with us?
notchinese: (Ugh)
7th-May-2013 02:27 pm (UTC)
Yeah, but he underestimates how long it'll take to get there. It may be weeks before we ever meet up and that's only if the group waits.

I rather you didn't. [ Not meaning to be rude, she adds: ] I'll never live it down if I held up plans.
