This isn't Konoha.  Where am I?  Where's Sarutobi-sensei?  We were just at--  *bites back my parents' graves out of seven-year-old Oro pride* --never mind.

Tsunade?  Can't believe...Jiraiya?  Where are you guys?

You're from Konoha?

[mr_snake_man]

*looks at him with an inquisitive, if haughty, gaze*

Yes, I am. Are you? I don't remember seeing you.

[imnotamonster]

No...I'm from Suna. But Ichigo-san says we aren't in either right now.

[mr_snake_man]

But how did we get here?

[capnteebee]

So it is true...

[mr_snake_man]

Who are you?

[capnteebee]

Jushirou Ukitake! I'm a student at the Shinigami Academy...though I'm an awful long way from home.

Hitsugaya-san told me about this place...about how none of us come from our home worlds and the Malnosso are responsible for all of this.

[mr_snake_man]

Malnosso?

[prophecized]

What the hell?

[mr_snake_man]

You're loud.

(aah, couldn't help myself. BAD AT HIATUS. D: )

Orochimaru.

[mr_snake_man]

Who are you? *peering up at him e_e*

[unownedboy]

My name is Itachi; I am also from Konoha.

How old are you?

[mr_snake_man]

I don't remember you.

*crosses his arms* Why should I tell you?

[chained_dog]

You talk weird. What kind of a place is "Konoha"?

[mr_snake_man]

You don't know where Konoha is? What kind of backwater village are you from?

...I bet it's Cloud you're from.

[chained_dog]

I don't know. I can't remember anything before waking up in...that place.

[mr_snake_man]

What place? Here?
