Aren't you stretching yourself here, player-san?

[twinlionfists]

Excuse me, player-san, I understand the desire to want to join your friends on another game. Friends are extremely important.

[Blushes a few shades because she's going to say something uncomfortable but takes a deep breath and says it anyway.]

Player-san, you know that I am not your only muse. It is very crowded in your head...not that I'm complaining. You are also very active at our first game, which I am grateful for as it allows me to be with Naruto-kun and Neji-nii-san.

So, why are you going to app me to another game? [Taps fingers together as eyes stare at hands.] You are already behind on other things, yes? Are you sure we can handle this?

[Sighs in defeat.] Fine, but if you are injured in the process, I do not believe that I can heal you.

Comments

[aburame]

[He's been silent this entire time, ruminating over her words. His team mate is following him here?]

[twinlionfists]

[She gives Shino a bright smile.]

Shino-kun, I am glad to see that you are well.

[aburame]

And yourself, Hinata?

[She looks well enough, but he's not certain she seems too happy to be heading where he is.]

[twinlionfists]

[She frowns in consternation for a minute.]

I am well. However, my player-san and I have been disagreeing over her workload. She is attempting to exhaust herself, I fear.

[aburame]

... Perhaps she is unaware of her own limitations.

[twinlionfists]

That may be the case. I'm cautioning sleep whenever she will listen, but that is not very often.

[Gives Shino a smaller, but not unhappy smile.] And how is Shino-kun finding the place his player-san has put him?

[aburame]

There are other things that require my attention. [Fighting a war, for instance.] It cannot be helped, however.

... Your player is planning on sending you here too?

[twinlionfists]

[She is experiencing a bout of selfishness and does not want to return to the war. She is enjoying her time in Michi no Sato with both a Neji and a Naruto who have no clue about a war.]

I know that Shino-kun is doing well, no matter where he is. And yes, my player-san is still working on it. [Stares at player-san intensively.] However, if she experiences many more nights like last night, she might sleep the rest of her life away before I can join Shino-kun and the others.

[aburame]

Unnecessarily tiring oneself will be be detrimental to your well being. [May or may not be addressing the mun.]

[Also stares intensively. Is the look of a byakugan user and his blank goggled stare enough to make Hinata's player listen, or will they need to call in her cousin or Yamato-taichou as well?]

[twinlionfists]

I thank you for your concern, Shino-kun.

[Evidently, the threat of Yamato-taichou works on Hinata's player-san as well as Naruto-kun.]

Please take care of yourself and your own player-san, yes?

[aburame]

To the best of my ability, yes.

[Good. Now that that is sorted-]

... If you have not been warned already... there are certain dangers present here. It may be better if you do not arrive.

[twinlionfists]

What do you mean? What dangers? [She cocks her head to the side in a gesture she picked up from Uzumaki Kushina.]

[aburame]

The threat is slight in comparison to our world, but shinobi are being targeted by a certain criminal organisation.

[twinlionfists]

Is it serious? [She is sure that between Naruto-kun, Sasuke-kun, Obito-san and Shino-kun that the problem could be dealt with if it truly required their attention.]

[aburame]

Sasuke sustained some injuries - a broken arm, I believe. It is better to be cautious than not at all.

[Guess what? Tsunade-sama is here too. And she may have just made things ten times worse. They no longer have their chakra and abilities, and are far outnumbered.]

[twinlionfists]

[Grimaces in sympathy.] I hope that Sasuke-kun is mending well, but would it not be better if we were all allied against this threat?

[Her player-san is friends with that Sasuke and has seen the post. Even Hinata thinks it was a bad move on her part and probably enough to get them all into a lot of trouble. Still, she's not scared.]

[aburame]

There seems to be some division between individuals... [He's talking mostly of Obito. Heck, apart from Shino and Naruto nobody has known Tsunade as their Hokage yet.]

Amongst some, there is even question of whether Tsunade-sama has ill intention. [... Having just been outed as a Rocket. Shino knows he's on their side, of course. But they don't.]

[twinlionfists]

[Her player-san has heard it discussed ad nauseum since it was posted. Hinata wonders what Tsunade-sama thought would happen after it was posted. Obito-kun's player-san is very unhappy.]

I do not believe that Tsunade-sama was attempting to bring ill upon the shinobi around her. However, it seems to be a very ugly situation. I am sorry that you are suffering such inconveniences, Shino-kun.

[aburame]

[Shino's mun is sorry if it's become a tired subject. Basically, he is going to have constant headaches with all these conflicting people. You have to be here to keep him sane, Hinata.]

I am in agreement with you; she would not. [The next sentence comes out almost awkwardly.] Circumstances... could be worse.

[twinlionfists]

[Hinata's player-san didn't mean it like that. Hinata just wishes that she could do something to help Shino-kun and the others.]

You are not alone are you?

[aburame]

... I am with Naruto. [Of all people.]

[twinlionfists]

[Blinks in surprise. She didn't expect to hear that news. Shino-kun and Naruto-kun?]

That seems...unusual.

[aburame]

Why do you say that? Despite not having spoken in a while, we are comrades.

It will be a bonding experience. As well as a means to an end.

[Naruto... now you have to pay more attention to him.]

[twinlionfists]

I know that the two of you are comrades, Shino-kun, and that makes me happy to see that you are both relying on each other so well.

[She is jealous. She wishes that she was able to be with both Shino-kun and Naruto-kun. Her player-san is still staring at the application for some reason.] Maybe one day I shall be there too.

[believeit]

Hinata, you should definitely come and travel with us!

[He is the main character here he can slide in whenever he wants no matter how late it is]

[aburame]

[Naruto... he was having a perfectly civil conversation with a team mate whom he doesn't seem very often these days and then you just interrupt.

He knows Hinata has a tendency of losing rational thought in your presence at times... but he'll stay silent. Naruto is important to her, after all. She should at least be allowed to greet him properly.]

[believeit]

[Kind of used to that face by now]

You agree right, Shino? Oi, Shino! Tell Hinata to come with us!

[aburame]

...

Hinata... I would not be averse to you accompanying us.

[So he's still concerned about dragging her here, especially when it the place she is at already seems safe enough. But between the three of them...? They'll watch each other's backs.]

[twinlionfists]

[She is a little shocked to see Naruto-kun here, but she is fine. Really. She is! Especially since he is behaving normally.]

N-naruto-kun! I will work harder with my player-san so that I might join both you and Shino-kun! I promise!

[believeit]

[normal for Naruto, anyway.]

Alright!

[twinlionfists]

[Nods a little shakily.] Y-yes!

[believeit]

[YATTA!]

What pokemon do you think you'd start with?

[twinlionfists]

A skitty!

[Although, it took her player-san ages to convince her that getting a vulpix just because of Naruto-kun was silly. And that she could get an egg later.]

[believeit]

[his player did the same, but now he has a vulpix egg too!]

Wanna see what one I got?!

[Pulling out a pokeball, it releases a cute little Poliwag that starts waddling around.]

This is Gama-chan!

[twinlionfists]

[Hides her face so that she can giggle at Naruto-kun.]

He is a very handsome young tadpole.

[believeit]

He's sorta clueless right now... but that's okay! I believe in him!

[twinlionfists]

I will cheer for him then as well!

[believeit]

All right!

Now you have to hurry up and join us!

[twinlionfists]

[Nods before giving a look to her player-san.]

Ano, player-san, please hurry up! I know that you can accomplish this.

[believeit]

Yeah! C'mon Hinata's player!

[aburame]

[... Silently cheers.]

[twinlionfists]

[Blinks. Her player-san has finally gotten off her ass to put in the application?]

[believeit]

[Yatta!]

[twinlionfists]

[Watches her player-san slowly gnaw at her fingernails as she waits.]

[aburame]

[Shino's mun believes in her, much like how Shino places his confidence in Hinata.]

[twinlionfists]

[Pets her player-san and then directs her towards anime to distract her.]

[vysecaptain]

Your mun sounds as stubborn as mine.

[twinlionfists]

Yes, I'm afraid that that is the case.
