I get that you're busy and all...

[perfectcosmos]

But I want a game! A real game. I mean, sure, the dressing room you have me camped out in is fun and all, what with all the other people from my universe around, but I want something more substantial.

Yeah, sure, you just joined a game, but that was with Obito, not me, and you haven't even posted me anywhere since you started in that game! How fair is that? NOT EVEN A LITTLE.

And your muselist! I saw what you put on there! You don't want me to have a game! How could you? Why would you do that to me when I'm such a wonderful person?

Well?

[soveryhelpful]

You say that as if your mun owes you anything you have not seized for yourself.

[2/2]

[soveryhelpful]

Ah, but perhaps she is just thinking of the proper place to put you.

[perfectcosmos]

She isn't even looking! She sees all these games and has absolutely no idea what she's doing. In fact, the only reason she's in the game she is now is because she up and looked at -another- game and just... aggh.

I'm going to have to do all the research for this myself, I just know it.

[soveryhelpful]

Well, doing your own research is the more intelligent thing, after all. I've the places my own mun has been sending others of us...? I have to say, none of them are what one would call enjoyable.

[perfectcosmos]

Oh I've seen that myself. Her taste runs to horror and I'm not thrilled with the idea of being used in any kind of experiment. It makes me glad she's not got anything in mind, but it's still... irritating.

[soveryhelpful]

Yes, being experimented on would be bad. However, I'm certain you can find your own way with your own resources.

[perfectcosmos]

Of course I can! This was more so that, you know, she wouldn't be able to say I never said anything.

[soveryhelpful]

I wish you luck in your endeavors, then. I, personally, am more than content to remain exactly where I am.

[perfectcosmos]

[That made her laugh.]

Save the patient that's taking three of us to keep sane and alive?

[soveryhelpful]

If he can be saved. I cannot help but feel guilty for giving Mikoto-san such false hopes.

[perfectcosmos]

Yes, well, he was already fragile and his paranoia about you isn't helping things. I think you should let Sakura handle it really, it might be better for both of you.

[soveryhelpful]

Perhaps. Yet I have worked very hard to gain what I have here in this place. I am not so eager to lose it.

[perfectcosmos]

I don't think Mikoto would kick you out just because you decided to let go of Itachi. She likes you even if she's put out by your unwillingness to confide in her.

[soveryhelpful]

[Oh, that's not what he meant at all...]

Perhaps. Tell me, where you in my position with the same suspicions around you, would you be so free with your words, Ino-san?

[perfectcosmos]

No, but I'd still find a way to satisfy so that the problems would die down. After all, being eyed makes things more difficult.

[soveryhelpful]

I guess I'm just not as good at that as you are, Ino-san.

[perfectcosmos]

Well, I'm a girl, that does give me a natural advantage. Everyone knows women and small children get away with more.

[soveryhelpful]

Unfortunately I am neither, so it appears I will simply have to make do, right?

[perfectcosmos]

[Soft laugh at that.] It does. But, you're not without friends Kabuto-kun.

[soveryhelpful]

[She says friends, while he still sees them as tools.]

I'm glad to hear it, Ino-san!

[perfectcosmos]

[She hummed and gave a little shrug.]

I should hope so, it was an open offer.

[soveryhelpful]

We'll just have to see, won't we?

[perfectcosmos]

Yes, we will. And maybe you'll actually talk to me in the village hmm?

[soveryhelpful]

If I'm lucky and my mun allows it. I'd like that very much.

[perfectcosmos]

Good! It does so get boring in my corner of the village without any other shinobi paying attention.

[soveryhelpful]

You do like to draw attention to yourself. Perhaps host an open-house of your wares.

[perfectcosmos]

That -is- an idea... You always get the best gossip at events. [And watch her wander off to go organize just that.]

[careless_king]

We can't always understand their decisions, Miss, but they have their reasons.

[perfectcosmos]

Well, hello there handsome. I know she has her reasons, but that doesn't make them good ones!

[careless_king]

Ah, but "good" is rather subjective to the person, isn't it?

[perfectcosmos]

Well, that's true, but her 'you'll take up all my time' is rather meanspirited I say. I am not -that- attention demanding.

[careless_king]

Can't say, really. I've known a lot of high-maintenance women.

[perfectcosmos]

[And it appears she's taking that as a compliment.]

Well, there's high maintenance and then there's wasting time. I wouldn't say I'm either one but, well, I -am- quality time spent.

[careless_king]

Ha ha! I'm quite sure you are, Miss.

[perfectcosmos]

And who are you handsome? It was rude of me not to ask sooner.

[careless_king]

Ah, my apologies. Sinbad, Ruler of Sindria and leader of the Seven Seas Alliance. It's a pleasure.

[perfectcosmos]

The pleasure is all mine! Yamanaka Ino, Chuunin shinobi of Konohagakure. Hmm your title is more impressive though.

[careless_king]

Shinobi? What's that?

[perfectcosmos]

Another word is ninja. Is that one a little more familiar?

[careless_king]

[The troubles of being in an Arabian-ish setting.]

Hm...I honestly can't say that I recognize it.

[perfectcosmos]

Well, it's a sort of elite warrior that specializes in stealth and such?

[careless_king]

Ah, I see. Sounds very exciting.

[perfectcosmos]

[She laughed.] Not in the slightest sure of what that means are you?

[careless_king]

I do, I've just never been very subtle.

[perfectcosmos]

Well, in that case, what would you like to know?

[careless_king]

What are some of the tricks of the trade? How do you defend yourselves if something goes wrong?

[perfectcosmos]

Well, since I'm a Yamanaka I've been taught to steal your body if I wanted. [Cue flirty smile.] But mostly it's advanced running away and some very... hmm, interesting versions of stabbing other people.

[careless_king]

Controlling another's body? I can see how that would be a very useful power.

[perfectcosmos]

Oh yeah, totally worth the time it took to learn too. Every Shinobi has their specialty though, and most can't do that.
