[ Yako appears on network looking as cheery as she can make herself, enacting part of Neuro's Evil Plan To Get Information. ]

Passengers of the curse ship Crucible, new and old, I, Yako Katsuragi, would be thankful if I could have a little of your time to ask a few questions. This is one of many attempts to build a better understanding of our

Comments

[kamaitachimai]

Ask away; I'm ready to leave.

[katsuragi_yako]

Thank you, Miss. [ Notebook and piece of looseleaf in hand: ]

Do you clearly remember what you were doing right before you woke up on the ship?

[kamaitachimai]

I do. [ She's not sure if she's supposed to elaborate so she just...doesn't. =D;; ]

[katsuragi_yako]

[ Scribble scribble, she's cool with just that. ]

Since arriving on the ship, have you noticed any significant changes to your person or your usual abilities outside of being unable to leave the ship or access sealed levels?

[kamaitachimai]

Hm, haven't tried anything, actually. [ Opens her fan and looks around her small room; it's probably best not to try anything here... ] There's nothing wrong with my fan, though. And I can still feel my chakra.

[katsuragi_yako]

So probably not, but you haven't had a chance to test everything. [ Yako writes this down, then goes on to the next question. ]

Is there an objective importance in your returning home as soon as possible?

[kamaitachimai]

Yes; I need to get to Konoha as soon as possible.

Do you really think that these question will help us to get out of here? [ She's not /trying/ to sound mean, she's actually just curious. But it still comes out sounding a bit biting. ]

[katsuragi_yako]

[ She nods, and before she can ask the next question, Temari asks her own; ]

Yes. They have as much of a chance of helping as any other active attempt made on this ship.

[kamaitachimai]

[ Exhales slowly and waves her hand in a motion for Yako to continue. ]

[katsuragi_yako]

Have you encountered other people from your universe, and are they still here?

[kamaitachimai]

Yeah, Naruto. And Sasuke I guess, although he's from a parallel world. They're both still here. [ A bitter frown. ]

[katsuragi_yako]

Would you rather they weren't? [ Though she doesn't expect that to be answered. ] I guess that answers my next question. You haven't found any doubles of people you recognize, have you?

[kamaitachimai]

I wouldn't wish this kind of hell on anyone. Especially not Naruto, poor kid. I'd much rather he be able to get home. [ She's always been fond of Naruto--despite his annoying tendencies--mostly because he was the one person that helped save Gaara's life. ]

But no. I haven't.

[katsuragi_yako]

[ Yako nods. She can understand that feeling. ]

Thank you. Those were all the questions I had for now.

[kamaitachimai]

No problem. I hope it helps.

Uh...I never got your name. I'm Temari. [ Supposes she might as well be polite and at least introduce herself. ]

[katsuragi_yako]

Yako Katsuragi. It's pleasant meeting you, Temari.
