[Tis the season to be jolly, right? Tis also the season to shop like mad for Christmas presents, and any idiot with a two-inch forehead would know that to start early is key. Unfortunately, Sakura's forehead is way, way larger, and she's also busier than that (complete bullshit), so she is out in town today, scouting for presents.

The mistletoe tailing her everywhere? Apparently the City thinks she's a prude in need of a lay, too.]

Okay, so, purple for Ino...obviously...

[ooc; It's also, actually, her first serious curse ever, so please, please, please break her. Assume action, if you want. There's enough saliva in her mouth to go around. Wait that sounds wrong.]

Dr. Chase, thank you for the vote of confidence the other day. I'm very satisfied with the possition I've been offered on staff, but wanted to ask you--you mentioned you wanted me to meet someone?

[private to Ino]

Alright, tell me. I saw something weird with your 'friend with benefits' yesterday. He didn't seem that much of a jerk before...

>>oo6; DEFY EVERYTHING

2009-11-21T22:29:49Z

I've been here for less time than most of you, and I already know that nothing good'd come out of pushing the button. I mean, yeah, sure, I might be given a prize, or taken home - but do I really want to do that at the price of someone else's safety? Sanity? Life?

The answer is not.

I would not have said no to the money, I guess. The job hunt continues. I suppose it wouldn't hurt to try it again. Does anyone know who I should direct myself to in order to get employment at the hospital, please? I am a hardworker, I have steady hands, I have had an excellent intructor--the best alive--and I learn fast. If you have any other questions, I'll gladly answer them.

So, aside from...all this. I hope that those I spoke to during the statue invasion were left unscathed.

I don't get it. I've heard people go on and on about curses, about how some are actually fun - for whom?

All I've seen so far are deaths, and cannibalism, and horror, and people getting trapped. Is this really that good? Honestly...

I'd like to ask for a job at the hospital. Who should I ask about that?

[ooc; this is theoretically her 'first' 4th wall day since the restart, and she doesn't know wtf's up, so please be gentle. i ask that no current canon spoiling be done ~~for the love of god~~, please ~~or my muse'll explode aa~~. &hearts]

>>oo3. rescue team go!

2009-10-16T00:24:48Z

[filter: allied shinobi]

You'll have noticed the sudden influx of cannibalism. I'm going to suppose this is a curse. So if just for today, we need to take other people, who can't defend themselves, to safety.

This apartment seems big enough. I'll set up traps around it, once we get everyone inside. But just in case, it wouldn't hurt to think of a bigger location, with food and preferably weapons, where no-one would be at a disadvantage. Shikamaru, ideas?

[filter: sasuke]

Stay inside today, unless you want to help us. ~~Or are affected. Please don't be~~

[public]

Repetition is the key of survival in this case. Everyone should stay inside today. If you're not inside yet, run fast.

[ooc; so like. she'll be running around, saving the peoplez with her super team of awesome kunoichi. and shikamaru. probably. the people affected that want to try to get a nibble of her, ask away 8)? ~~she's too good for her own good sometimes anyway~~ same goes for people who want to be saved!]

>oo2. FIGURE IT OUT

2009-09-30T08:12:19Z

So, let me see if I get all this straight.

This place is some sort of world-between-worlds, not a genjutsu, controlled by people called Deities. These deities bring us here for no other reason than to have entertainment. Which is why we have curses--not that I've seen what those are like so far. The ticking comes from some sort of mechanism which many have tried investigating but it's somewhere hidden so tough luck. Living alone makes the ticking loud, and makes you go insane. Which is why when I was last here I had a place and called so many people in to live with me.

Funny. I guess I really don't want to go insane. Then again, who does? I've seen senile people, and insane people, and trust me on this, the difference lays in how similar to a snake they look.

Also, since I'm underage, I get money from the City. But frankly, I'd rather earn my own money here, so...is there any way of helping at the hospital?

That's it. Did I get it right?

[ooc; parents have kidnapped me, replies will arrive latar]

[HALF AN HOUR LATER.]

[voice post; public]

Hello. My name is Sakura.

Okay, I've had someone explain the gist of this place to me, and let me tell you, that someone needs to stop it with the alcohol. Clearly not a genjutsu. So. Whoever dragged me here, let me warn you--these hands can do as much damage as they can fix, and you are going down.

Also, I'd be very grateful for a guide and the way out, thank you!

I...I don't know if this should be a list for you, Shikamaru, of if this is a list for me, but...two years is a long time to be in this place. I've seen people come, people go. I've seen them return with their memories intact, but some didn't remember a thing. Those are the ones that hurt meeting again. Repeating the same talk...

"You shouldn't be here."

And thinking the same thing.

But I'm so glad you are, because it was getting so lonely.

Does this make me selfish? To sometimes smile when I see my friends arrive here, even though it's not somewhere where we belong? I've been here for two years. This place...must really love me, because...I always come back, and always remember it vividly. After two years, getting out seems harder and harder, but I still agree that we can, sometimes. Just excuse me if I'm more skeptical about it than most. I think I'm allowed to be a little bit selfish. After two years, things here are finally...balanced. What a weird thing to say.

But I think there's balance now. I'll keep the reasons to myself. Two years...

I think I need a break from work. And a drink. This calls for one.

THIS IS SUCH A PAIN. Can't I have a Sunday off, for once? If it's not plagues, dinosaurs, then it's being switched from my body! At least it's not a guy this time, but. I feel like a skank. Ino, your body is wearing a jacket today, whether you like it or not!

No, no. No. I may hate him for having ruined so many lives, and I may not believe shit of that story of his innocence, and it may be the easiest thing, really, to do it. He'd never leave this place again-- No. Sasuke would-- he-- I don't know.

This is not what she taught me. But-

Shishou, you never prepared me for this. What do I do with the enemy under my care? What?

I think it's pretty obvious by now that some people in the City seem to be infected by...something. I'm not sure of the nature of the virus yet, but I'll be working on it as often as I possibly can.

It'd be wise to listen to the advice sent all around the City. Don't go out at night, stay in well-lit places. And my personal would be carry a fire-source with you, but these might simply be a curse.
