Third Kunai: [Text/Video/Action Celadon] Whoops

[The first several lines of the message are in text.]

See, at first I thought this was really cool. But now, it seems to be stuck on this setting. In fact, it seems to be getting even lighter every time I use punctuation. It's not just me right? It's really doing that?

[It's at this point that the feed switches over to video, and shows him leaned up against his ponyta, who seemed to find it entertaining to eat his chips when he's not looking.]

So some help would be REALLY NICE. How do I make it stop?

Ninja sounds familiar, all right.
I'll admit to skepticism, however.

Of what? My being a shinobi? Have been for years.

Impressive. I'd ask you to show off, but that's not the easiest thing in this place.

No joke. I can't walk up walls or use jutsu. I can still physically kick ass but it's not the same as being able to breathe fire you know?

I would not, considering I don't have any ability to breathe fire.

Okay bad phrasing. Losing the big abilities makes losing the small ones seem worse.

That I can get. It especially makes losing weapons worse.

I just got a family bloodline that's REALLY AWESOME before I died and came here. No more bloodline.

Well, not technically. The bloodline is still there, just whatever it allowed you to do or gain via special rights isn't here. Seems better to me that way, anyway. Advantages due to blood are lame as fuck.

Hey, I've been trying to activate that thing for years. Besides, it's not like I didn't share, one of my teammates got my uncrushed eye before I died.

Activate?

Yeah. It's not like I'm a Hyuuga, I had to actually meet criteria and earn the damn things.

Slow your roll, I'm not from your world, remember?

I'm not mad or anything. That family just... their politics are screwed up, but they're the ones who don't gotta work for it, not my family.

And what makes it so that you have to work for yours?

It's just how it works. You have to reach some kind of emotional requirement and I just... didn't.

So you have to have some level of emotional maturity before using it? Seems legitimate to me.

...If that were so I would have gotten it years ahead of some of my cousins. No, I think it has to do with being attached enough to someone to throw yourself into danger for them. Despite being in a war I never really needed to protect my teammates, but when I did, poof, there it was.

Interesting.
Makes me curious about the biological process behind it.

I don't know the exact details but it comes from the mom's side of the family. [He gave something of a helpless shrug.]

You mentioned a different family with abilities like yours? Other than the ability to use it, what differs between yours and theirs?

Practically everything. They can see though things, are born with it, have more distance, stuff like that. Mine is more seeing the completion of a motion before it's been properly made, seeing the chakra formations in progress, being able to remember or mimic anything I see... stuff like that."

Both have useful applications. I bet they'd be really impressive, working together.

Yeah... if there was any hope ever of actually making the people between our clans get along. Just... GAH. It's horrible sometimes, the arguments between the older generations.

They'll be gone eventually, and then it will be up to the ones with more sense.
