Do we really need to have this conversation?

[1000tinycuts]

[The Suna kunoichi is so not happy that it doesn't even take a genius like Hyuuga Neji to figure it out.]

You want to do what?

[Er.... EEP?]

You want to rip me away from my brothers and throw me into a world where my ninjutsu does not work, where I am supposed to adjust to some random power you assign me through some god to fight in a war that is not my own?

[Um, but Gaara is there?]

A small consolation. He is hardly safe, seeing as how he's been left to the care of Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke.

[Well, obviously you need to go and watch over him.]

Obviously. Fine. I will go, but that doesn't mean I like this situation at all.

Heh, well it's new to me, and I don't get to laugh at people often enough, so I like picking on him. I guess then you're from that world. There's a couple of you around, though I don't know all of you yet. I kind of keep to myself at times, though that's usually pretty pointless.

If you haven't caught this yet, that mun of yours is probably going to shove you into all sorts of weird crap at some point. You might get used to that face. I end up using this one a lot myself.

[1000tinycuts]

What face? This is my usual expression.

[samantha_grey]

...

You and I are going to get along just fine, I know it. [She smirked a little.] You should stop by the potions and apothecary I've got set up. We need more level heads around here.

[Yeah, except that she's not even half as level-headed as she thinks she is.]

[1000tinycuts]

[Well, Temari's only level-headed now because Gaara is relatively safe. Watch her in action]

I will keep that in mind. I've heard that I will have to earn my keep there as well.

[samantha_grey]

Yes and no. If you just stay at the local house, you'll get food, clothes and housing. A job's for if you want spending cash, better stuff or to live outside, or if you're crazy like me and are trying to make a life out here in some way.

Basically, you want to live better than the basics, or you don't like staying in Freya House, and you'll be getting a job. Personally I suggest something to do anyway.

Drive ya nuts otherwise.

[1000tinycuts]

Thank you for your advice then.

[Grimace of discomfort...]

My mun would like for me to ask you about your intentions with my brother.

[samantha_grey]

Errrr... [Looks back at her mun and gets a confused look. Oh wait...] You mean romantically, right? Umm, I'm already with someone actually, an egotist named Eridan.

Don't get the wrong idea. I don't think your world has succubi. I'm just attracted to everything that moves. It's... really kind of revolting to have to deal with, so I get a big hangup about it, but I'm not actually after your brother. Eridan's more than enough of a handful for me.

[1000tinycuts]

That hardly answers the question. You can be with someone and desire another.

[samantha_grey]

It did. My father's what we call an incubus. Rat bastard's a sex demon, basically a spiritual monster that feeds off of sex and desire. Well, that's what he started as anyway.

That means I'm half that. I'm basically like a predator, like a wolf or a bear and that's something I used to feed on. Technically? There's a part of me that wants everyone. If I listen to it, I can tell you the reasons why I'd want to sleep with any person you want me to. I just push that part of me down real deep. I didn't even expect to ever be with anyone safely. Two? Would... that'd just be crazy. I want to stay with fin-rot and leave it at that. He's enough for me.

[Wait for it. Have the cogs in Temari's head started turning just yet? She's starting to look a little uncomfortable, and really hoping that Temari doesn't catch on that this means her too.]

[1000tinycuts]

I'm not interested in women.

[samantha_grey]

[She nodded and shrugged. That was ... better than her asking?]

Yeah, not exactly surprised. [There's literally no way this wasn't embarrassing as hell, but better embarrassing than bloody.] I'm also not asking you to sleep with me. I didn't get to choose how I was born. I have to deal with what I deal with, but that's in my head.

Same with Gaara. It's in my head, and that's where I'd rather it stay.

[1000tinycuts]

As long as that remains the case, then I have no problem with you.

[samantha_grey]

Good. Glad we got that covered. Oh yeah, my mun wanted me to mention that you should get used to needing a crowbar and blowtorch to get most of this out of me normally when you actually show up.

[1000tinycuts]

Well, my mun wants to reassure you that I'm just this charming in-game. So, she says good luck.

[samantha_grey]

Heh, yeaaah. Like I said, as long as I'm not trying to bang Gaara, we'll probably get along great. Good luck trying to strangle your mun.

Me? I have to thank him personally one of these days for writing the shitty insanity that is my life.
