Ready or not~

[And another night begins.]

[TIME UNTIL DAY: 3PM EST]

[Takers slowly come to life, the low rumble of their footsteps a constant threat. Sadly, there is no amusement park to make it feel a little less ominous - just the wrecked and abandoned buildings everywhere.]

[The city seems less twisted tonight, and you may realize there are some roads that lead straight, right toward the middle of the city. It ( Read more... )

[She's sitting here on the edge of a windowsill. She's starring off into space, not noticing much of anything. Her thoughts are only about her little girl. Ever since she had appeared in the garden, Alyssa had wiggled her way into Naomi's heart. Now, having come full circle, she was away from a little girl who was alone and frightened. Naomi just ( Read more... )

[Night falls once again - but there's something strange this time. Tonight, half the city is an... abandoned amusement park?]

[You rub your eyes, but it's right there - no big roller coasters, but a ferris wheel, a merry-go-round, a zipper, and other simple rides plus a few abandoned food stalls full of stale junk food. How strange is that? But ( Read more... )

[Realizing that he's no longer in his bed, Xanxus wakes up to find himself laying face down in the grass, sitting up and briefly scanning this unfamiliar place. And there's a stupid fox mask laying on the ground next to him. How the hell did this happen ( Read more... )

- looking forward to seeing Suna again, un?

[he stops mid-stride - something is not right - and he reaches for his clay and finds it-]

Oi, Sasori-no-danna, where the hell are you?

[-gone. genjutsu?]

Kai!

[but nothing breaks (where is his scope, it was on when they left for Suna) and he shifts - uneasily, though he will never admit it out loud - and his ( Read more... )

[She is standing in front of a door, spraying a solution upon it and shining her light upon it. Naomi is keen to finding some hint as to how she got here. She is a detective and Alyssa needs her. This should be an easy case compared to the Raging Bomber or the Rosalia Virus. Gah. She stops and turns, facing the street.]

It's no good. I've learned ( Read more... )

[He wakes up and... this is neither his bed nor the hospital bed (both of which he is quite used to by now.)]

...?

[A small pause while he takes in his surroundings. This does not look like Konoha.]

Gai-sensei mentioned he would help me train. Perhaps this is the secret training ground...
