itsjustdust | First Kunai: [Video]

[The first thing that everyone hears as the connection turns on is a rather loud, painful sounding clatter which indicated that the Pokédex had just made a rather abrupt acquaintance with the ground.]

Ah crap. Sorry! Sorry everyone! [The picture resolves itself at this point into a rather sheepish looking teenager, who is turning the device this way and that, clearly trying to determine which way was up.] I'm kinda new here and haven't gotten used to all the new technical stuff that this place seems to have. This thing is pretty sleek though right? Even if the road is pretty, well, snowy. And cold. But hey, I have Katon so it's not like I'll freeze!

[There was a nearly upside down showing of his Ponyta at this point before he finally settled on an angle, which thankfully seemed to be right way up as the camera focused on him again.] Anyway, I just wanted to give an all call and a hello to everyone out there and ask a rather uh, specialized question.

Only a few of you might get what I'm getting at here but, um, did anyone else seriously fail the whole climbing ledges class after getting here that I could have sworn that I'd passed when I was seven? I mean, I got down fine but... serious issues getting back up.

Like, really serious issues.

Yeah. I guess.

Though where I'm from, there's just way too many people for anyone to not have a surname.

Well, there is that, but then you get groups like my family where ten people get named after the same person so that -really- doesn't help...

... Ouch.

Yeah, that's definitely not good. That must make any family meetings confusing.

Well, we all lived in the same village and there was oh... at least gah. Um. A hundred odd people?

... A hundred people in your family, or in your village?

Eh? Family. The village had way more than -that-.

Wow. That's a pretty big family to all be living in one place.

Well, we -are- one of the founding families of the village. There's a whole lot of other folks. Pretty sure the village has at least a couple thousand people.

I see...

[Well, that was a bit odd.]

What exactly is your village like?

It's huge! There's the clans, obviously, and then the minor clans, and then the civilians, so... okay so more than a couple thousand... maybe three or four thousand? I mean we -are- the biggest Village in the elemental countries. Then again we have the -best- Shinobi. I mean, my teacher is a -legend- and his teacher was a legend, and -his- teacher was a legend so, clearly I'm destined to be a legend too, yeah?

... Oh. I see.

That sounds more like a city than a village though.

[She giggles at the last part.]

Maybe!

It's a Hidden Village! Cities are for civilians!

[Sheepish grin anyway.]

But I guess I should call them cities here, huh?

Probably. It'd keep things from getting confusing about just how big these places are.

Gah. I have to change everything about how I talk for this place. So uncool.

Well... you don't have too. You could just have this conversation again a bunch of times.

[And now he's pouting at you.]

Oh c'mon, you don't mean that~

I was kidding.

Mostly. I doubt too many people would focus on the difference between a village, town, or city all that much.

[Thank you for stopping his inner flailing about.]

Oh good. It's hard to tell when people are serious here sometimes!

Don't worry. I'm sure you'll get used to it eventually.

Yeah, well, of course! I'm awesome like that! I just have to get used to everything is all. Hey, hey, how long have you been here?

Almost two years now. Just about three more months or so, and it'll be two years for me.

Oh wow. Somehow I expected something closer to 'oh a couple months'.

Yeah. I can hardly believe that I've really been here that long myself.

Is it really awesome, being here? And tell me I won't be poor forever, please?

Well, we usually don't have to worry about the world trying to end, so I'd say it's pretty nice. Even if there are some people here we could rather do without.

As for being poor... well, if you work enough and save up, you won't.
