124 - Temari // [Text]

[wind_wielder]

Someone has to get me out of here.  The pain, the torture, it's all too much.  Someone has to save me before that sadistic, cruel soul comes back.  Please, have mercy.  I've never done anything to justify this.

I'm captured, I can't get out.  All I want is my freedom!

[ooc:  Yes, it's her 'berry.]

[Mindy clicks on the video feed, a little smile on her face]

We'll help you.

if you help us.

We thought it might be helpful if we took the opportunity...

Just as insurance...

To gather a little information. See what we can see.

strategy.

[wind_wielder]

. . .

The man, he can read everything. But I would like help.

[daddys_hit_girl]

Good. I'm coming to get you.

Sid, I'm gonna distract her if you show up. You gotta get Temari's berry out of there. Can you carry it if you have to?

'Course. slide me under the door. She nearby?

[wind_wielder]

She's upstairs. The man is moving around, though. Distract him. I'm in a drawer in the kitchen.

She snapped off my legs.

[daddys_hit_girl]

Hang on. We're gonna get you outta there

I've got a plan. C'mon, Sid.

[wind_wielder]

Thank you! Thank you so much!

[Mindy shows up a few minutes later, her hair back, wearing one of her lighter-weight training outfits, her 'berry in her hand. She pokes her head into Temari's suite, looking for anyone inside]

[NOPE NOT SUSPICIOUS AT ALL in person]

[Shikamaru slouches into the room from the kitchen just a moment later, raising an eyebrow at the newcomer. Little girl, this is not your house.]

[She peeks in, taking a look around]

Oh. Sorry, I... Temari lives here, right? She's late for our usual training session.

[She wanders into the kitchen, eying the drawer in her peripheral vision. Play it cool]

[MMMMMMM DELICIOUS in person]

[nihonjika]

[He follows her in. Forward little thing, isn't she.]

She didn't mention any training today.

[ in person]

[daddys_hit_girl]

[She's not leaving that easily, Shika. She pulls out her faciliberry, pretending to be typing out a message]

What are you, her secretary? We were supposed to meet like half an hour ago. If this is some kind of weird ninja patience training I'm gonna be a bit pissed.

Lemme just send her a text or something.

[ in person]

[nihonjika]

[And he's not gonna make this easy for you.]

Sounds like you could do with some patience training. Maybe a lesson in observation, too.

[ in person]

[daddys_hit_girl]

We're working on the patience. And you can observe my-

FUCK! [She drops the 'berry, shaking her right hand, and she jumps away from the counter. Sid makes his move quick, vaulting into the drawer as Mindy sucks her finger]

Stupid goddamn thing.

[in person]

[nihonjika]

[Siiiiiigh. He just watches this all transpire with a bored expression, stepping toward the drawer when the 'berry dives in.]

Maybe manners too.

[in person]

[daddys_hit_girl]

Yeah, I'll have all the charm school manners that Temari's got. That'll end well.

[She's too quick for him, slipping her hand in the drawer where Sid is already clinging to Temari's berry, hiding it behind him. Mindy feels this, and pulls them both out together, holding them so it only looks like she's got one in her hand to Shikamaru and slipping them into her pocket before shutting the drawer again]

God, but this is an irritating experiment.

[She turns to go]

Alright, I'll get out of your ponytail now.

[in person]

[nihonjika]

[Oh, you. See, that might work out if you weren't opposite a ninja. A particularly intelligent ninja who can, as the 'berry said, read everything.]

Just a second, Mindy.
