it's been far too long ... (hoping i did this right hogosh)

[seebirdsfly]

Well, I must say, it has been quite a while since we've done this. Are you sure you want to get back into it? What about your "inspiration" being at an "all time low"?


Out of all the muses you could have woken up, you chose myself and that blue haired loud-mouth.

I'm not sure if I should be worried or flattered.

[There's the sound of him clearing his throat in an attempt to hide his comment.] No reason to be worried? I'm quite sure that you are still the girl I remember ...

Comments

Voice-testing, but I couldn't resist

[jumpsuitup]

[He can't help himself - here comes Guy-sensei for a hug!] NEJIIIIIIII!!!

fffffffff 8D *squees*

[seebirdsfly]

[He contemplates staying in place - he REALLY does, but ... this is Neji we're talking about. So, he's just gonna step to the side.] Sensei.

:D

[jumpsuitup]

[Guy lands flat on his face, fully anticipating (for whatever reason) that Neji would be okay with getting hugged, but he's completely unfazed by this turn of events. Hopping to his feet, he gives Neji a thumbs-up.] Excellent reflexes as always, Neji! Clearly, you've been keeping up with your training!

Tenten and Lee are somewhere around here, too - it's great to have the team back together!

dskl;jklgjf perfect response there, guy. XD

[seebirdsfly]

[He watches as the man falls flat on his face, arms lifting to tuck across his chest. Neji can't resist the half smirk that comes to his face at Guy's comment though.] Thank you, Sensei. I did my best to keep up on such things while I was ... away.

[Oh, man. He hasn't seen Lee or Tenten in an extremely long time ...] It would be nice to see them again.

yaaaaas also voice testing haha I keep forgetting to do a post for her this is perfect

[gentlestep]

Ah, but Neji nii-san isn't it good that you're able to inspire someone?

[She thinks so. Neji and she might not have had the best relationship growing up but he certainly inspires her to become stronger, just as Naruto does.]

fffffffff :DDD hinata!!! you even get the purdy icon because he is SUPER glad to see you. <3

[seebirdsfly]

Of course, but some of her ideas are a little ... unnerving. [He smiles - almost too happily for Neji, but he can't help it - he's sooo glad to see her!]

Hinata-sama ... It's good to see you well. [Neji likes to think that he inspires people and Hinata being one of them would make him extremely proud.]

so sorry for the late ;o; finals prep has been brutal

[gentlestep]

Oh? I hope she doesn't act on any of those types of thoughts...

[And just hearing him say such a thing always makes her feel as if they've truly become family again, after having strained their relationship so many years as children. Naruto had helped them mend that rift, but they had done so on their own in little ways as well.]

And you too... Neji nii-san. Ah- but-!! I hope you don't end up being sent to one of those awful 'games' I keep hearing about.

[Her mundane has had ideas of where to send her more recently and it worries her. She hates it but she also doesn't want to do nothing if others like Neji are involved.]

oh, that's okay! i can understand the school stuff ... ;_;

[seebirdsfly]

As do I. She seems content writing "fanfiction" for the moment.

[Neji would offer a hug and he really does want to show some type of appreciation, but ... would it be strange? He's still kind of socially awkward about such things, despite their mended relationship. He's also not sure if she is far enough into the series to know what happened to him.]

Mmn. It could prove troublesome, but ... I'm not sure my mun would want to put me into a game just yet.

[Ohoho. Well, if Hinata's mun wants to throw some ideas this way ... Neji would probably object, but he'd like to see his cousin again.]

<333

[gentlestep]

[Hinata is just as awkward as him about hugs, blushing a little when she realizes he is even attempting it, however subtle the signs may be. Physical affection was nice and she wished she were bold enough to attempt it for anyone she thought deserved it but even just that was embarrassing. She still remembers holding Naruto's hand and touching his face, the reminder that losing Neji did not mean he should forsake himself.

She knew what happened to Neji and it still hurt but she had the tact not to address it if it was something painful for her cousin to think about. That thought is what makes her move closer, to hesitantly wrap her arm around his back and press her face into his chest.]

I hope not... I don't want you to go somewhere horrible. Or anywhere, really.

[He'd been through so much when they were children. The Hyuga's expectations had not been kind to either of them but in comparison his life had been much, much, harsher than her own.]

<333! also, D'AWWW HINATA! <3

[seebirdsfly]

[There's just the slightest tint of pink on his cheeks, revealing the bit of embarrassment he's feeling right now. He can't help it though - to see Hinata well and to even learn that she made it through all the trouble makes him extremely happy.

The arm wrapping around him makes him tense just barely, the flush on his face becoming more prominent, though he's quick to hide it by looking down at her so his hair falls around them. Luckily, the movement also hides the smile that comes across his face as he lifts an arm and settles it around Hinata's shoulders to return the embrace.]

Well, how horrible are some of the "games" that she could look into?

[Best to get an idea of what he could be thrown into, if the chance arises.

Even if his life had been harsher than her's, he definitely doesn't blame her for any of it now.]

hahaha was gushing about this on my plurk tbh all my feels with these two xD

[gentlestep]

[Hinata pulls back from their embrace to speak, though keeps her face hidden beneath her own curtain of hair. Best he not see the bright flush that colors her cheeks as she tries to explain to him about sex games.]

Ah... well that is- there are some that... that take away your will and things like that. It sounds incredibly scary. And I've heard of others where they are geared towards "horror". But the first one... seems like it might be worse.

[Her mun looked at Tanagura it was awful she blushed a lot]

GAHHH! i was squee'ing about it to my friend earlier. it's so freaking feel-y!!! XD;

[seebirdsfly]

[Neji lightens his hold just enough to let her pull back, his own blush having faded away now. His eyebrows knit together, slight confusion coming across his features.]

Take away your will? That does sound terrible. My mun seems to enjoy "horror" movies, so those types of games might be a perfect choice for her ... I think I would prefer that over something ... else.

[Tanagura, huh? Mun is intrigued and Neji is nervous.]

you raaaaaaaang?

[kunoichi_dragon]

[ So late to the party. But all the same, personally, she would go with feeling flattered. It's less stressful that way. ]

Would you have preferred to stay huddled up somewhere in her headspace, instead? I hear it gets dusty.

why, hai thar! 8D

[seebirdsfly]

[Better late then never! He's starting to lean more toward feeling flattered for that exact reason, Tenten.]

At times, yes. I think this is the preferred choice though. Dust can be cleared away, for the most part ...

hi! you can't imagine the tiny squee I made

[kunoichi_dragon]

[ Well, they've never had a problem thinking alike, so she wouldn't be surprised. ]

It's a nightmare to, though, sometimes. Especially after a while.

[ Tenten would know. She was tucked away for a little bit there in obscurity and musebox land before getting taken out again. ]

oh, but i can because i probably made the same noise. XD

[seebirdsfly]

[No, they definitely have not. They had to learn to survive Lee and Gai together, so ...]

Agreed. I'm rather happy to be let out of her head. It's a bit crowded at times and rather loud right now.

[Neji's been tucked away for about five years now. He knows exactly how you feel.]

as long as we're on the same page, here ~

[kunoichi_dragon]

[ it want do bad. towards the end... ]

Any particular reason why now? I know mine managed to find some of our friends training around, somewhere.

... Even if they weren't exactly the same as how I remember them.

[ even though that lasted all of six months. But oh, wow. Five years. Yeah, you've missed a lot, captain. She, at least, was taken out every so often for memes. ]

of course! sadly, i must go to work now though ... D8

[seebirdsfly]

[Just so you know, he's very sorry about what happened ...]

She was going through old pictures and nostalgia struck. Mine would love to put me into a game, but she wants to make sure she still has my "voice" down.

I remember that things can be ... different in this sort of setting.

[It's been a looong while, but seeing his teammate gives him some hope! Yeah, he didn't get that luxury.]

It's alright! I have to head off to work soon too, actually

[kunoichi_dragon]

[ it's fine, she's made her peace with that no she hasn't What were you supposed to do, let them die? ]

That's always a good thing to have. Time would also be a good thing too. Mine definitely doesn't have as much of that as she used to, so it's been hard getting motivated to find another place for me...

[ And well. Your teammates will always be here for you. Just don't be too stubborn to ask, Hyuuga. ]

ohman. what a looong day. :c

[seebirdsfly]

[No, of course not, but had there been another way ... Neji would have done it.]

Yes. My mun doesn't have much time on her hands either, but she seems determined to try and get back into playing.

[He knows and he's been trying to do better at not being as stubborn - really!]

shhhh, come. let your teammate wrap you up on good feels o3o

[kunoichi_dragon]

[ Hey, it's not Neji's fault someone else decided there was no other way to go. Nevermind that this girl's mun is still not over it... ]

It's always good to start small. Like memes, maybe. [ Smirks. ] Then again, you hardly ever do anything halfway.

[ Just remember. We're just one call away, captain. You know us. We'll come running. ;Db ]

ohhhh. 8D i like dis idea~

[seebirdsfly]

[This is true ... Don't worry - this mun's not over it either.]

Not unless I absolutely have to. In this case, starting small may not be a bad idea.

[He'll be trying his best to remember that. |D]

teammates are always the best idea!

[kunoichi_dragon]

[ Then just let her step aside so that you two commiserate together.

Meanwhile... chinpalms. ]

So what's the game plan, captain? What's the training routine gonna be to get you back to tip-top shape?

very true!

[seebirdsfly]

[He'll do the same stepping aside.

His arms lift to tuck across his chest, pale eyes blinking lightly.]

That's a very good question. It should probably be a rather rigorous one.

aaaah... Neji, she has missed you ;3;

[kunoichi_dragon]

Most likely.

[ smirks, a closed first going to rest on her hip. ]

Good thing rigorous training is what this team is known for.
