In Front of the Dorms, Friday Mid-Morning

[flowering_mind]

After class Ino wandered outside to sit on the lawn, and settled down to try and think of a way to write to her dad and tell him she really didn't want him to come for Parents Weekend. Sure, she wanted him to find out about the Yondaime but... other things? Not so much

A kunai sharpened stick embedded itself in the ground near Ino, a piece of paper tied to the end of it. It looked almost like a marker-flag, or something of the sort; unless, of course, one looked closer.

It also helped if one knew what the symbols on exploding tags looked like. But the fire that suddenly began smoldering ominously at one edge of the paper was pretty obviously a Bad Sign.

[flowering_mind]

Ino stared at the stick, and the explosive tag, slightly incredulous, for all of three seconds before self-preservation had her scrambling out of the way.

The tag went off as she got out of range and Ino surveyed the damage with her hands on her hips. The knights were advancing on the spot with shields raised and swords drawn.

There was only one person she knew at Fandom who'd randomly fling an explosive note at her. Ino's eyes narrowed. Somehow, she'd get Kabuto back for this.

"He's such a jerk." She muttered vehemently.

It really was just a small explosion. Kabuto was perfecting the art of controlling the exact size and range.

He jumped from the top of the building and landed lightly by Ino. "Busy day?" he asked pleasantly.

[flowering_mind]

Ino was pleased that she only took half a step backwards before getting a hold of herself and making a face at him. "You threw that at me on purpose."

The knights had, by now, spread out and had the area surrounded. Ino couldn't help but wonder what they were making of it.

Evie had followed a crusade of knights from the lunch room outside, and had to stop as they took a moment to dedicate their quest to their king. Little flags were waving, horns playing, and they saluted in formation before marching off.

Giggling, she approached Ino. "Hello! Isn't this amusing?"

[flowering_mind]

"Evie! Hello!" Ino looked up with a smile, "The knights are adorable, though I might change my mind if they try and attack me."

A small wing of them broke off to charge the sidewalk, and then stopped to claim in the name of whoever, planting a little flag in between the concrete spaces. Evie flopped down next to Ino, still smiling. "The penguins and bunnies were equally cute when they showed up, but they weren't quite this active. How has your week been?"

[flowering_mind]

"It's been..." Ino wrinkled her nose, despite the smile still on her face, "an experience." Not that it was all bad or anything, but still.

"How about you? Anything fun?" She watched as the little delegation moved onward, "What do you think they're saying?"
