[The PCD turns on to show a young woman staring at the landscape around herself. She takes two steps back, and then takes them forward again. Tenten frowns and leaps into the air, twisting to land lightly on a rooftop.]

You’ve got to be kidding me. Konoha was restored!

[A rustling near the PCD draws her attention down by it, and shuriken slip ( Read more... )

Neji? How did we get seperated?

Ah... It's difficult to explain. this is, however, a different world- separate from Konoha and geography as we're aware of it. It's hard to believe at first, perhaps, but it's nonetheless true.

As for everything else you'll find strange initially, this world is called Adstringendum, and you'll find a great many here from different worlds and it even acts as a compression of time where people arrive from different time periods. Lee, for example, is here, but he's as a Genin.

The work of Scientists that are trapped here as well, but they reside separately with a fortified defense they lock themselves up in and isolate themselves in.

[There's a pause as she digests all of that.]

Lee's still a Genin? No way... We should have taken a break!

And why am I stuck?

...You are not hallucinating.

[A bit of reluctance enters his tone]
Ah... is there mistletoe in your vicinity, Tenten...?

We were just at the village, Neji. And now Lee's changed and I can't move from this spot.

Yes, there's a plant over my head. What's going on here, Neji?

We're not anymore, unfortunately, and technically, I've been here for nearly a year. With different times, however, it seems as though the future isn't...affected... by disappearances.

...I would assume at least, you never noticed my disappearance judging by your surprise.

[Neji clears his throat- he almost sounded upset for a moment]

It's something called an 'event' as termed by those that reside here, created by beings known as 'Animus' who are rumored to be spiritual in form and have unrivaled powers of manipulation over this world and it's properties. There is usually one week-long event once every other week; beginning at midnight on Sunday, and ending at midnight of the following Sunday.

For this event, one can be ensnared by unknown means under the bough until it's traditional use is fulfilled.

We were just walking down the street. If you were a shadow clone, you were the most convincing one I've ever seen.

So Lee is younger? Or he just lost his training?

[She groans.]

So the person texting me wasn't joking. I can't destroy this thing... There aren't any tricks to it? I can last a day; it's Saturday.

...I see. I cannot say for certain, but it's likely it wasn't a clone.

And yes, Lee is younger.

[He hesitates again]

...Actually, it's Monday. Technically. The event just started early yesterday.

When... What was going on when you left?

[There are several clanking sounds, remniscent of weaponry raining from the sky.]

A week? I'm stuck in this spot for a week unless someone...

We were on a long recon mission away from the village.

[A sigh rattles through the PCD]

Yes, that's how it works.

[A significant pause]

But there is, unfortunately no way around it.

If you can see your coordinates, transfer them to me over the secured channel and I'll reach your location as quickly as possible.

Was that before or after Konoha was destroyed and put back together?

[She sighs back.]

Is there a reason for the encryption? I figured it out, but that took some time.

If I'm reading this correctly, I'm at [x,y].

...Before, certainly. I do not recall such an event.

And yes, there is. For safety precautions- as there's someone here who can adopt a person's form just by knowing what they look like. I don't know how it differs from Henge, but he's apparently dangerous.

..I will arrive shortly, then.

What mission was it we were on?

All right. I'll keep an eye out.

...Thank you, Neji.

Tracking Akatsuki movements in Iwa for the Yonbi and Gobi Jinchuuriki.

Of course, Tenten.

That long ago? There's no way a shadow clone could be maintained for such a long time, and so perfectly.
