--won't it come off? [The sound of infuriation and the shaking of wings can be heard. There's a familiar voice of a girl with blond hair and a white cotton sundress.

In contrast to this white dress is a purple pair of wings she seems to be annoyed with.] What gives? Since when did I get wings? --Wait, scratch that. Why do I have wings? And why am

[ Also assuming that things have been explained already to her...

Because she took a while to respond to this as she was trying to sort out everything. Oh, sure, it's always nice to have someone from home show up. And extremely bad. No one deserves this place. And it's true it would be good for Shikamaru and Chouji to have her here. And she won't be alone as the only Konoha Kunoichi here. But still, it's Luceti.

And then what does she even say? Welcome? Sorry you've been kidnapped like the rest of us? ]

....Um, are you settling in all right, Ino-san?

[ voice ]

[piggybabe]

[Aaand another familiar voice. Seriously, just how many are they stuck here? Is everyone here? She won't be surprised if ever she hears Sakura or Chouji's voice next. Really.]

... Hinata? Okay, don't tell me Sakura and Kiba are also here? [Since they seem to be the only ones left. Wait--] Or Naruto?

[ voice ]

[eighth_strike]

Um, yes... It's me, Ino-san. [ Well, she would have really answered that question about Sakura and Naruto, but... It looks like Naruto took care of that. Also not even touching that question she asked him. Nope, never. You are just as bad as Shino. ]

Kiba...isn't here, though. Um, basically everyone from Konoha...and our world has already replied.

[ voice ]

[piggybabe]

[She's not about to let a potential love story go to waste, you know. It's good that you didn't have to be the recipient of the question thrown, Hinata.]

Oh, so that's everyone?

[ voice ]

[eighth_strike]

...Not entirely. [ Oh man, she never thought she'd have to be the one to break the news. Especially since she has her team here who could probably handle it better. But well... You know, better to know now. ]

From my understanding, Sasuke...and Itachi are both here, too.

[ voice ] 1/2

[piggybabe]

[The two names are enough for her to do a 180.]

... What? They're here, too?

[ voice ]

[piggybabe]

[... Sasuke. It's been a long time since she let that name get to her. Of course, with the invasion and the rebuilding of the village, she hasn't thought of him at all. But to know that he's closer than before - in a freaky prison with them at that - makes her feel a bit hopeful.]

... Are they okay?

[ voice ]

[eighth_strike]

I...I'm not too sure. I've never spoken to them, only seen their own entries. I do think the others have spoken to them.

[ Also it's not like she really cares too much about either of them to actively seek out their company. One is dead, she saw it with her own eyes and her eyes are never wrong. The other...well, he's Naruto's problem. ]

[ voice ]

[piggybabe]

I see... [Pause, as she thinks back on her conversation with Shikamaru. With the surge of too much information, she's having a bit of difficulty sorting them out.] --Oh wait, I think Shikamaru mentioned them to me a while ago. Sorry. It's just that there are so many things coming to me while I speak to various people.

[ voice ]

[eighth_strike]

Oh, it... It's all right, Ino-san. There is so much information to learn...and so much that is tossed your way upon arriving. So it's understandable.

[ voice ]

[piggybabe]

And here I thought some of the mission briefing I had before were already too much. [Not that she can't handle all the information. The girl's born to be an intel for Konoha with their clan having sensory-type abilities. But a girl's gotta complain too.]

[ voice ]

[eighth_strike]

[ Her complaining actually reminds her a bit of Kiba. He'd be saying almost the same thing. Just with some swearing in there, maybe. ]

Well, I-I don't think some of our mission briefings also included us being...kidnapped.

[ voice ]

[piggybabe]

[It's good you didn't let her hear that you think she's like Kiba lol.]

That's true. It's not like I'm saying they're bad, but all this information... [Pause, in thought.] You know it's a good thing the guide says time stopped back home or no one's going to be left to rebuild the village at this rate.

[ voice ]

[eighth_strike]

[ It's one thought she thinks is better kept to herself. Especially since one of the last times Kiba and Ino were together, he was yelling at her for crying. ]

It takes a few days for it all to sink in, I-I've found.. And there's still many people back home...so even if it didn't, it would still be rebuilt. I-I can't see Konoha being left in ruins.

[ voice ]

[piggybabe]

[That part hasn't happened in her timeline yet, though.]

We'll just have to see, I guess... [A brief pause.] And I think you're right. I'm sure no one in Konoha would want the village to be left like that. I guess I'm just pertaining to people in our age group.

[ voice ]

[eighth_strike]

[ It is for the best. Because she doesn't want to explain why she didn't do anything to stop him. ]

Oh, right. I-I guess there really wouldn't be any of us left back home, then...if the others arrive. But either way, whenever we get back home...I'm certain we'll all help rebuild.
