First Kunai: [Video]

[itsjustdust]

[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.

There's a class for climbing ledges?

I will say that the ones here are just like they were in the games, where they are only a one way street. Once you go down, you can't go back up them.

[itsjustdust]

Well, where I'm from there was.

[He made a face then whipped it around to show her the ledge in question before turning it to face himself again.]

Back home I could have climbed that easy peasy! Here I can't even climb it the civilian way, since the shinobi way seems all kinds of fail, and that's just -weird-!

Wait. Games? We're inside a game like, a board game?

[healium]

Sounds like a strange sort of class to have, but then again, it sounds a bit exciting if it's an actual class to pass!

Yes, a video game to be precise! I only played the version that has all the details of the Kanto region, but Johto has very much the same idea!

[She's so curious though since he said SHINOBI and she's heard the word from Dirk a few times..] So are you a ninja? Shinobi means ninja, right?

[itsjustdust]

Video game huh? Can't say it's something I've actually heard of before.

[He shook his head an blinked at her before grinning.] Yeah it totally does. I am a Chunin Shinobi of Konoha. [He tapped the metal plate resting just above his goggles.] You see these hitai-ates on people from where I'm from.

Haven't seen anyone else around from there yet though. But yeah, back in the Academy it was one of the drilled skills, like trap making.

video; obito you just got here and you're breaking rules about talking of ninja stuff to non-ninjas

[healium]

No? Perhaps it's just something not made in your time yet!

[Nodding at seeing the headband, Jane smiles.] I see! Well, you have only just arrived pretty much, so it may take a little for them to see you? Trap making too.. now if only I had gone to your school instead, I may not have needed to be homeschooled!

Video: He thought everyone knew that!!

[itsjustdust]

Homeschooled? What's that mean exactly? Man, too man phrases I don't know get flung around this place. [He clutched his head and gave her a grin, sheepish.]

People are going to think I'm uneducated or something huh? Especially since I can't even climb a rockface anymore. I mean, come on!

Video; NO GOSH

[healium]

My Dad had to teach me math, english, science and so on. [Laughing gently, she shakes her head.] My apologies for the confusion. You aren't the slightest bit uneducated, especially for not being able to climb a weirdo ledge!

Video; So it's so totoally not his fault! D:

[itsjustdust]

Well, I mean, it's totally not cool if I don't get all the civilian stuff if I can't do any shinobi stuff either! Okay not true I -can- but not the really -awesome- stuff.

Video; SHHHHHhhhhhh

[healium]

Hoo hoo, really, don't worry about it! You just arrived, it's all right to be confused about this place! I'm sure you can outrun me in a heartbeat, if that makes you feel better. [YOU LOOK LIKE AN ATHLETE OK]

Video

[itsjustdust]

Well if you're a civilian and I can't outrun you that would just be sad. I mean, I'm a -shinobi-.

Video

[healium]

[He'd get a hair ruffle if she were there.] Well, if you had anything extra special that gives you a strength above human, it was sealed away. Everyone here is human, whether they used to be or not.

Video

[itsjustdust]

Well... no. I was uh, maybe not the best ever but I was really awesome anyway!

Video

[healium]

I'll take you at your word then. So, what's your name? I'm Jane Crocker, it's lovely to meet you!

Video

[itsjustdust]

Pleased to meet you Jane~! I'm Obito. Uchiha that is. People all seem to say it backwards here so... Obito Uchiha, Yeah!

Video

[healium]

Hoo hoo, I suppose I'd answer to Crocker too, if only because no one else has that last name! It seems backwards to me, so it's just a cultural difference. Oh!

[Give her a moment of shuffling and doing something on her gear, before a text with an attachment comes up.]

If you have a moment of free time and could fill out this survey, it would help in gathering data! Myself and others are trying to see if we can find a pattern in the way of people being chosen to arrive, and how they are chosen to depart.

[itsjustdust]

[There is totally a lull as he stops to fill it out RIGHT THEN. But then he comes back.]

That... what was up with the sex joke at the top?

Video

[healium]

What joke? [She's getting a copy to look at.] The Sex and then asking Gender? It's um. It's asking your physical sex, and then asking which gender you identify as!

Video

[itsjustdust]

... totally thought that it was trying to get a 'yes please' or something what with Gender showing right after.

Video

[healium]

[YOUNG TEENAGED BOYS WHO THINK WITH THE WRONG HEAD.] Ha.. well, that's what it actually is there for, h-hoo! [Wow that almost got awkward]

Video

[itsjustdust]

Well, okay then! So that was a little different You okay there you look a little flustered.

Video

[healium]

Oh I'm just fine, don't worry a thing about me! [HA HAHA ha.] So, are you already on the road?

Video

[itsjustdust]

[Okay topic change it was!] Well yeah! I mean sure I could have hung around, but it's so much more awesome to have a look round right?

Video

[healium]

It is, but do be careful! It's been rather cold out, especially at night, and it takes three days to get to the next town to buy some real supplies. There's only a little bag of trail mix in your things for food.

Video

[itsjustdust]

I'll be fine! I'm a shinobi! I also have my flaming pony, who is plenty warm. [Showing said ponyta here] Katon's awesome.

Video

[healium]

If you insist. [She can't help a smile with the Ponyta.] Still, try not to starve.
