Kunai the 8th: [Video/Olivine Action]

[itsjustdust]

[It's him, though only the goggles were in view, his headband having been neatly adjusted so that it was just dark blue cloth and the metal plate was quite hidden in the folds of material. It was definitely long enough for it. He was also lounging back on a bed with a blank wall behind him, his charmander dozing on his chest]

So. How many of you have had a moment where you're sitting there going 'when the hell did I become the smart one?'

I mean, I've never been stupid, but things have been ridiculous lately.

Everyday of my life.

[Being the oldest out of her friends, this was expected. Sure two of them were geniuses but at age 13 things were bound to screw up.]

What's your problem?

[video]

[itsjustdust]

Just every person I know and some I don't making me want to lock them in a cage so they stop being idiots. You?

[video]

[notchinese]

Basically keeping my friends out of trouble. [And rescuing everyone from XANA attacks.] That's back home though.

[She gives a sigh.] That thought still comes to mind here since I'm with Naruto. If you know him, that is.

[Well she was going to hit his voicemail, but since she was kind enough to broadcast anyway... Her hair's back in a ponytail instead of buns, her hitai-ate in her backpack.

Oh, and she's still riding on Pyre near breakneck speeds, 'gear bobbing along in front of her held by Feng's talons.]

Tell me something I don't know.

....Tenten, what the hell are you doing?

[ video | private ]

[unended]

[ he keeps it on private just in case talking to you guys in public makes Tenten freak or something. he did promise to be extra careful, but really he's only doing this for her paranoia. ]

It was a pretty crazy day, wasn't it? Is everyone doing okay where you are?

[ video | private ]

[itsjustdust]

Oh, I'm sure something else will go wrong soon, but so far so good.

[soggypastry]

[A scoff. She's out back making use of what daylight is left to add some...non-conventional defenses to the back door, but she kept her gear on anyway.]

Just about every day before I got here, and most of them afterwards. [She makes a face, tugging at something just out of sight.] You get used to it after a while.

[Video | Locked]

[itsjustdust]

That's me right about now.

...

Do you want some help with that? I've always been really good with traps.

[He's on a team with an Inuzuka and Hinata - who although quite intelligent, also seems to have developed a thing for reckless self-sacrifice and zero self preservation when it comes to the important things.

So to answer his question? No, not really. He's... used to it.]

...

[He's noting the concealed hitai-ate here.]

....So either you get it all the time or never do. So. How fast should I expect to see you guys judging by Naruto's personality?

voice.

[flareblitz]

[ Who can't be damned into paying attention to, well, anything? This guy. But that question alone is worth some degree of reaction-- ]

Hah.

[ Yeah, just a snort. Amusement at a certain someone's expense. ]

voice.

[itsjustdust]

Always sympathetic, you are.

Still. You see the issue right?

[Voice]

[friendyousohard]

Does it count if it's more like "why do I always have to be the smart one?"

[Because girls, she loves you, but sometimes...]

[Voice]

[itsjustdust]

I'll take it, yeah. You get a lot of that feeling I take it?

[believeit]

[Naruto's well aware of what is no going on, but that doesn't cause him to conceal his headband. Defiant as always, but even if he were to, he is Naruto, it wouldn't do much good.]

Has something else happened? Or are you just talking about that thing from earlier.

[itsjustdust]

Only the extended fallout. ...Please tell me you have this on filter.

[video]

[enjoymyatelier]

I am surprised when a day goes by and I don't have one of those moments, really...

[#insufferablemageprodigyproblems]

[video]

[itsjustdust]

What kind of things does your group get into?

[Video]

[arrogantalloy]

Never happened. Because I've always been the smart one.

I'm kind of used to people not realising what I've realised.

[Video]

[itsjustdust]

...Now I want you to clarify if you've ever been wrong.

[Video]

[lieutenantantichrist]

All the time. Is there something about being here that makes people lose their goddamn minds?

[It's tough to be the only smart, sane, reliable guy around.]

[Video]

[itsjustdust]

It's hardly confined to here, but people sometimes have issues being reasonable, yeah.

[video]

[neurotoxined]

[...oh. Hello, you. She'll actually deign to put the damn video on for you this time; feel special.]

That would be the story of my life. Although it's less "when did it happen" and more wondering why I've always been surrounded by idiots.

Not much has changed here, really.

[video]

[itsjustdust]

[He totally gets that that has significance with you!]

I did get that impression from you in the past. My last week has been filled with 'what are you doing?!' sadly.
