As usual, Yuffie doubted that the general population would be able to comprehend the brilliance of her plan.

Sure, they'd had that big costume party about a month ago, and she'd found something for it and even had a little fun. And apparently this month's holiday from worlds she didn't know about involved eating a lot of food. Nobody would

He still doesn't know what to think. He doesn't know what he feels. They're having a baby, and it's not like it's easy for either of them. Then again, maybe it's one of those things that isn't supposed to be. Maybe that's how you know you're doing it right?

Adam's finding himself wishing that he just had a photo of Wes more and more.

First victim of the day! Yuffie stifled her glee, because she'd long ago found out that unstifled glee led to escapes by intended victims. She dropped out of the tree and in front of the guy, left foot sliding out and kicking up a sheet of sand to her side.

"BAM! You gotta pay attention here or ninjas are gonna get you!"

[beentodamascus]

It's a large part of Adam's training that kicks into gear then, and he doesn't even blink. He just looks at her, for a moment while sand settles in a fine layer over his shoulder.

"...Thanks," he says, rubbing his mouth with the back of his hand and tasting grit. "I'll take that under consideration."

[wutaiheart]

"C'mon, don't you wanna fight a little?" she wheedled. "I totally just shocked the hell outta you, right?"

Even though he's used to weird shit going on around the island, he also generally doesn't walk around waiting for something to jump out of the trees and kill him or anything. Well, maybe if he was in dino territory, he would care more, but this was just, you know, walking.

Which is what Matt was doing, walking, approaching a very pleasant looking palm tree. Where nothing, of course, would be out of the ordinary.

[wutaiheart]

Since this guy wasn't even looking at her, Yuffie took the opportunity to leap from the top of the tree to behind him, hopefully causing all the more confusion. "Halt! Who goes there?"

This would have been the best place for a water balloon.

"I am the Great Ninja of Wutai!"

[f4rr3ll]

If anyone asked him later, Matt would never admit to what happened next.

Because all he knew was that something was falling out of the tree and shouting at him and he was afraid that he was going to die, so he kind of, well, screamed. Loudly. Kind of like a little girl. Complete with flailing.

It was only natural.

But he'd never admit that it happened.

[wutaiheart]

It was extremely difficult to be as badass as she wanted when he was screaming like that. Yuffie began to giggle, eventually sitting down and laughing so hard that the hood fell away from her face. "Oh man," she wheezed, "that was great!"

It's not the pain. Though that part does get annoying pretty quickly. It's not living with Zell. That part isn't near as bad as I might once have imagined it. Oddly, it's the boredom that is getting to me today.

And I've never been one for doing a lot of training. Don't get me wrong, I'll train with the best of them. But you get to a certain point and it's an obsession. I've never been the big jock guy like Raijin. No point in pretending I was.

To beat the boredom, I'd decided to leave the hut for a change of scenery. Trouble with that was that we were stuck on a tropical island. And I wasn't too keen on getting back down to dinosaur territory. Keen or not, I was in shape to get there any way. Instead I pace the sand and watch the water for a while.

Shortly, I'm bored with that too. I lean up against a tree to rest for a moment.

[wutaiheart]

Yuffie frowned. Dammit, the victim was already up against the tree. He'd be a difficult catch.

Luckily, the great Yuffie Kisaragi was not afraid of a challenge. She carefully, quietly, pulled her water pouch from her hip, and took off the cap. Caaaaareful.

Restraining the impulse to laugh, she let the water drip-- okay, more like pour in a steady stream-- down toward the guy's apathetic looking head.

[gunbladescar]

Suddenly I feel something land on my head. My instinct is to get out of the way of whatever it is and figure out what it is later. Probably a bird turd. Great.

Being there is no quick way to get out from underneath a pooping bird and still look cool, I just shield my face, run out from underneath the tree and then glance upward as I assess whatever is dripping down my hair.

Whatever is up in that tree is certainly a large bird. I squint up at it intently. And it... peed... on me?

[wutaiheart]

Clearly her gambit had worked brilliantly. Her tactical skills definitely didn't seem to run in the family, considering Godo's inability to be as effortlessly awesome as she was. To be honest, she wasn't sure where she could have picked them up, but it was time to move.

Yuffie somersaulted herself out of the tree, landing with a flourish in front of the intended victim.

It was perfect.

At least, it would have been perfect if she hadn't fallen on her ass only two seconds later. "Goddammit!"

[wormholed]

It was like he had a disease. A terrible, debilitating space disease that ensured that if there was danger of any kind, John would both find and walk into it blindly. Last week it had been Natalya and her sniper rifle, this week it was a ninja in a tree.

John walked square beneath her, one hand on his hip, the other wrapped around a hollowed coconut he'd filled with a fruity concoction. John took a sip, and then a long and unsuspecting breath of fresh air.

[wutaiheart]

He looked like he probably wouldn't collapse under her weight (well, not many would, but it was more like the force with which she could pounce).

So Yuffie took a deep, gleeful breath, and jumped, silently, onto the broad shoulders of her prey below.

[wormholed]

"Eegah!" John shouted, all instincts pointed towards fight or flight, but an even stronger instinct, one motivated by pulsating, red-tinted thoughts of conquest made him stay still, supposing for one wild moment that Beelzemonkey had jumped onto his back.

It was apparent a moment later, however, when his hand landed on not fur but long hair, that his assailant was something else entirely. "Oh," said John, trying to twist around to see her. "Hello."

[wutaiheart]

"Hey," she said, disappointed. "That's no way to treat someone who just totally got the jump on you. Even if she is the Greatest Ninja in the world. Worlds. Dimensions. Whatever."
