[As Jiraiya climbs in through the window in Naruto's bedroom, he accidentally bumps the boy's PCD, turning it on. The camera records the older man placing a stack of papers on the nightstand, face down,  then reaching into his pocket and pulling out a fairly large sized toad. He sets it down next to the papers, walks over to where Naruto's ( Read more... )

[Jiraiya can be seen flipping through the various books of manga he's found. He pauses on one of the latest volumes of Naruto, opens it up, and begins skimming through it. An exasperated expression appears on his face.]

8 tails. Really. So I die, and everything goes to hell in a handbasket, thanks  to a former student of mine causing a current ( Read more... )

Good to see everyone's back to normal, more or less. Hello to all the new people here, and welcome to Adstringendum. If you've been given the rundown about this place, good. If not, I'm sure someone will explain it to you sooner or later.

Happy birthday. Congratulations on living to see another year.I've got a stack of ( Read more... )

Talk about a mindscrew in a literal sense. People missing memories, losing parts of themselves, losing senses, and just all around being toyed with by the lunatics known as the Animus. Just another day in Adstringendum.

I'm fairly sure I'm not missing anything. Maybe I got lucky and nothing happened to me. Shame I can't say the same for everyone ( Read more... )

Neji, Anko, Kakashi, I'll be coming over for a visit. I need to drop something off. And get something reviewed. Been out and about for awhile, so I found something interesting, and very useful.

[Jiraiya is more or less camped out on the shady part of the roof. Dressed only in a pair of light pants and his geta, he looks very comfortable. The observant might notice a large scar on his chest that looks slightly faded.]

Despite the heat and the need for water, I'm surprised nobody's taken advantage of this time to make an umbrella and ( Read more... )

There are several things worse than objects coming to life. And that is cleaning up the mess they make. I'm still putting the rooms back in order. Blasted event and blasted lunatic Animus, goddammit to hell and back again.

Kakashi, please tell me my manuscript is safe. It'd be a pain to rewrite it, as I still need to do the illustrations. Probably ( Read more... )

Well, it seems the cat has been let out of the bag, so to speak. Happy Birthday then, Neji. Congratulations on becoming one year older and wiser. Here's hoping it's a good day for you.

So the beach is gone, but the damage to the buildings seem to have been repaired. This is good, it's like a trade-off sorts. One good thing for another good thing. So I guess we can't complain too much. The weather's still good though. Oi, Kakashi or Anko! Which one of you wants to do some editing?

Well! Now this is something much needed! I haven't been to the beach in what feels like forever! Maybe this will give me inspiration to work on my novel. It seems strange, but I almost miss writing some days. But! The important thing is to find a pair of swimshorts! I wouldn't want to scar the kiddies for life, after all.
