First Howl ♋ [Action/Voice]

[keepingitcanine]

All right!

Listen up and listen good, you sick freaks! I don't know what kind of stupid joke you bastards are trying to pull, but it ends here, right now!

[After addressing the journal, Hinata turns back to Kiba. There's deep concern palpable in those pearl-colored eyes.]

Don't worry, Kiba-kun, we will find him.

[keepingitcanine]

[Kiba is currently staring at the nearest tree like it's the most interesting thing in the world, his voice hard.]

...Akamaru's got to be around here somewhere, right? He has to be.

[His grimace turns in to a full-blown, frustrated scowl as his hands clench into fists.]

Dammit! Where the hell are we, anyway?

action; 1/2

[warmest_eyes]

I- I honestly don't know. [She wishes she does. Remembering this, Hinata takes note of asking the journal once again about information. First things first, though.] But all I know is that we should find Akamaru-kun.

[Which shouldn't be a problem given their team's specialty.]

[warmest_eyes]

[Activating her bloodline, she begins looking around her surroundings.] Wherever he may be.

[...what the hell, it's like his entire graduating class is dropping in now. Who's next? Iruka-sensei?]

[its_troublesome]

Oi, oi, Hinata. [Welcome back. It doesn't look like you remember stopping in before, though.]

Tell Kiba to chill out, will you?

[He... kinda grew up around Kiba, so he knows how impossible of a task that may actually be. It's Akamaru. But if anyone can get him to sit still for sixty seconds, it's going to be Hinata.]

[Voice] 1/idk

[keepingitcanine]

[And have Kiba's voice drown out just about everything else. Sorry, Hinata.]

CHILL OUT? Chill out? What right do you have to tell me to "chill out," you lazy, good-for-nothing-

[ GOD THAT IS SOME LOUD SHIT BLASTED ACROSS THE ROOM.

She quickly tosses a blanket over the journal because she doesn't want to wake Ino from her beauty rest and Tenten's ear drums are reaching the threshold of pain. Keep in mind this girl has been around Rock LOUD and Guy-CAPITALS SENSEI for her whole life. ]

[ Calm, and deadpan. She pities Hinata for dealing with this. ]

Well, Kiba, you're still lively as ever.

[keepingitcanine]

You're here, too?

[projectiled]

About a day ago. [ beat. ] Inside the grocery store wall. [ TOP THAT.

also p.s. irate kunoichi is irate. ] Anyways, Akamaru isn't even here right now. Shikamaru said nothing about his presence and he's been here for a bit, and, I probably could have remembered seeing a dog the size of your average household furniture. [ line facing so hard through the feed. ] He's safe.

Let's see...I thought it was around here.

[Once again, Azusa has wandered into the forest while trying to find something. Naturally, she stands out. She's not dressed like a villain, she's just wearing...normal civilian clothes. Even a hat. She had left looking for a certain tree, but there are so many trees...not to mention she went in the wrong direction to begin with.

Oh, but there are people sitting over there! ...who probably noticed her like a minute before she did.]

Hello!

[Action]

[keepingitcanine]

[And Kiba did notice, but he hadn't paid any particular attention to it, until the sound of her approach proves too much to ignore. He looks up just as he comes into view, his eyes narrowing-though he personally doesn't regard her as any particular threat.

He can't sense any odd energy or chakra from her, after all. Or anything to connect her to Akamaru in particular.

At her greeting, however, his eyes turn to stare at her, and his eyebrows arch upward. His tone is stiff, tense, and a bit rough, as he certainly doesn't have time make idle chit-chat with every little passerby (Akamaru's more important), but his voice still manages to stay relatively neutral otherwise.]

Hi.

[bridal_idol]

[Tone is important to Azusa. She definitely notes the tension behind it, but she doesn't think anything of it. For one, Luceti is stressful for everyone...at least, she thinks so, so far. And two? She already has the feeling she's interrupting something.

She doesn't move closer as a result. She folds her hands in front of her, smiling politely at Kiba.]

Forgive me, I'm not interrupting something, am I? I'm just a little lost!

[warmest_eyes]

[She knows Kiba wouldn't be able to effectively help her, what with Akamaru missing, so Hinata politely replies instead of Kiba. She gives him a nod, though, as if telling him that she'll be the one to take this. Putting on a small smile of understanding, Hinata turns her attention to the other girl.]

Do you wish to go back to the village? I- I can help if you don't mind.

[Voice] Ah, oops! Forgot to mention! Sorry I'm late! RP drive = shot rite nao.

[donaldtrumpcard]

Hinta! Kiba!

[Seems like you guys are freaking out too. So he can guess that means Hinata doesn't remember her last stay. Thiiiis might be a tad difficult to explain then.]

Yeah, no kidding. [Five points for Gryffindor, genius.] Glad you-

[Wait. What?]

Shino?

and no prob! /saw the hiatus notice

[keepingitcanine]

[His tone abruptly changes, less of the scathing, emotional bite.

Did he just get here, too?]

Tell me Akamaru's with you.

[donaldtrumpcard]

Calm down, Kiba. You will not handle this situation well under stress.

[Gawd Kiba. That's like ninja 101 and junk.]
