Kunai the 8th: [Video/Olivine Action]

[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.

Oh, no, I don't have...

[...]

...too many problems with my traveling group, even if they have their... quirks. Admittedly, I'm somewhat annoyed that I haven't managed to obtain the second badge yet after spending almost a year here, but that was primarily due to circumstances beyond our control.

[...that and the fact that neither he nor Tokiomi know anything about wilderness survival, but they've at least figured some things out after this long and in the worst case scenario he can get Armstrong to take care of it...]

[He laughed.]

That doesn't sound all that bad.

It really could be worse. Admittedly, my initial statement was more of a general feeling rather than anything to do with my current traveling companions.

Okay, I'll totally give you that one. People are weird sometimes.

"Weird" is not the word I'd use, but I suppose it's somewhat accurate.

What word would you have picked?

"Idiots," probably.

[He laughed.] Not like it doesn't apply too

It's even worse with the natives here, given that you have about a fifty-fifty chance of the person you're speaking to either having a normal conversation with you or beginning to ramble about shorts or their Rattata or something along those lines.

Wait, what? Why?!

It's not as if I have any clue. I can't tell if it's just some absurd cultural thing or if there's something else at play.

Gah, people should at least have a sense of what a talk is about.

Or some sense of social propriety, at least. Do I even remotely resemble the sort of person who would be interested in a conversation about shorts...?

To be fair we kind of are talking about them now.

Talking about the topic indirectly isn't the same as rambling about the topic itself to a complete stranger.

So, what? They discussed styles or something?

Merely that they're "comfy and easy to wear." Which I suppose I could see in a city setting, but when you have to travel through tall grass to get between cities... that's simply asking for an intensely uncomfortable journey.

Yeaaah I can see how that wouldn't fly. Have these people never been outside or what?

That, or they actually enjoy having their legs torn up. It wouldn't surprise me one bit, given how bizarre they tend to be.

Locals or just people from really odd places? I know a lot of kunoichi so that back home but there's a way around it.

[...those... those are female ninjas, right

...other worlds, man]

What is the way around it, exactly?

It's pretty much a case of minor chakra usage so that the minor impacts of high speed travel don't really do much added to agility? I mean, scrapes still happen but... Tree hopping.

Ah, yes, that would explain it. I'm sure I could accomplish something similar back home... but there's nothing here that would support that kind of ability in humans, so I rather doubt that's the case here.

I didn't really think it was. Then again the only kunoichi here wears pants so...

Which is more sensible than many people in this place, it seems.
