133 - Temari

[wind_wielder]

Mindy, I'm clearing out my closet. If there's anything you want, you might as well come and help yourself. You can probably fit into some of these, and the rest will fit next week the way you're growing.

[She pans the camera over a startling collection of evening gowns, short shorts, jeans, tank tops, and other things she's picked up during

[IN PERSON IMMEDIATELY]

[daddys_hit_girl]

[Mindy doesn't bother answering the feed. Or announcing when she's coming in the door. Temari probably heard her come in, but for anyone else it'd be as if the girl was summoned from the ether by the offering of clothes.

She picks up a pair of jeans]

Ooooh, I don't have any jeans... where did you get all this stuff, jesus...

[She looks up for a second. It'd take...well, it'd take someone about as observant as a ninja to spot the new scars sliding across one cheek, cunningly hidden by makeup, but they're there]

Also, he gets at least one week of not being a lazy ass for saving my shit last week.

[Clothes were involved, Temari made sure there was nothing between the door and the pile so Mindy wouldn't manage to wreck anything in her haste.]

Everywhere. Every time we get sent some place, I end up with more clothes. I like jeans, I always pick up a pair or two, but now I have too many. [She holds up a pair of jeans from Manhattan, tipping her head to the side. She has no clue that they're very expensive designer jeans.]

Since when did that apply to me? And we need to have a talk about being on a battlefield like that. I was a bit preoccupied and didn't even see what happened, Shikamaru had to tell me afterward.

Um.

Can I have...that pair right there that you're holding? [She points, maybe bouncing up and down a liiiiittle bit] I...like the color on those...

[Mindy sighs] Well I'm sure not going to give him hero makeouts. Look, I know, in hindsight it was a stupid thing to do. But at the time, there were people being all dramatic and going "Everybody get out side we're blowing stuff up!" and it was an F3, and I had all my blowing stuff up stuff... I wanted to help out.

Not my fault they can't aim right. Am I not brightly colored enough?

Re: [IN PERSON IMMEDIATELY]

[wind_wielder]

[Temari shrugs and hands them over. They weren't as comfortable as some of the other pairs she'd put aside for herself already.]

Hero makeouts. No, that was just disturbing. [She shakes her head.] It's probably progress that you know in hindsight that you weren't supposed to be out there like that. Shikamaru had to stay in town because he didn't belong in that destruction. That doesn't make him weak, that makes him not suited for that kind of fight. If it was a delicate or strategic situation, I would have been no where near the front lines.

From my experience, techniques that size can only be aimed so much. People weren't using any restraint. [She touches Mindy's cheek, right over the covered up scars.] This was not the worst that could have happened. I'm glad you weren't near where I was working with Gaara. Sand burns tend to get infected.

permavid.

[brevipennate]

[wow, that is a lot of clothing. nill just stares for a moment, wide-eyed and almost entranced. she's never seen so many articles of clothing in her entire life.]

permavid.

[wind_wielder]

Did you want something from here? I don't think any of it will fit . . .

[brevipennate]

[immediately, nill shakes her head. she couldn't possible take clothing from someone, let alone a stranger.]

[Mindy => jack thread]

[daddys_hit_girl]

[Mindy leans over to snoop on what Temari's talking about]

Oh, hey Nill!

Temari this is Nill. Nill doesn't talk. Also I could totally adjust some clothes for you if you wanted some.

[hisbutler_bound]

[Hello comfortable looking pile of clothes. When did you get there? Madame is going to pop from under the door and leap into them, already kneeding to get comfortable]

[wind_wielder]

Not the satin!

[Ninja reflexes to the rescue as she scoops up Madame before she can wreck a gown. She holds the cat, scratching her behind her ears.]

You always have the worst timing. You know that, right?

[hisbutler_bound]

[She's trying to register what Temari is saying, claws somewhat embedded in the gown, but ninja reflexes save the day and she's enjoying those scratchings with deep puring.

Meow?]

[wind_wielder]

Just because I'm not going to keep them doesn't mean you get to ruin them.

[She keeps up with the scratchings, hoping to lull the kitty to sleep so her dresses can safely find new homes.]

[nihonjika]

I wasn't bitching that much.

[wind_wielder]

It's all relative. But it looks like some people are interested and there will be more room.

[nihonjika]

Win-win.

[wind_wielder]

You say that now, but we'll see what Kenzi decides to wear in the future.

[onteamdyson]

You better not be letting her wear those short shorts, Tema! You are the irresponsible parent!

... Dibs on the dark stuff. Totally on my way.

[wind_wielder]

She went straight for the jeans.

What, stuff like this? [She holds up a short, black cocktail dress.]

[onteamdyson]

[Suddenly KENZI BURSTING INTO THE ROOM]

Oh. My. Gucci. IT'S SO MINE! IT'S TOTALLY MINE! I will stuff my bra to fill it out but MINE!

[wind_wielder]

[She hands it over with no fuss. Pity Kenzi didn't see the jeans Mindy already nabbed.]

What is a Gucci?
