I swear I'm going to murder someone today!

[And it sounds like she means it. But for now that's all she says, mostly from how she's come back from a mallynap.

Today there is one Yuffie, hanging by her shirt, crossing her arms to keep her arms pulling her shirt down. As to what she's hanging by, it is of course her shuriken. Another reason why she's not moving, or trying to move too much. The thing could slice right through her shirt. And what is the shuriken hanging from? Well, it's neatly set into a tree, quite high up too.

Now normally, Yuffie would have absolutely no trouble with something like this, but with her problem, she can't even reach for a branch or two to hang on to to see if she could slide away from the sharp object. Even trying with one hand earns no result. Usually she can do lift herself up on one hand easily, but right now, her hand just keeps slipping.

If this keeps up for too long, she'll just wait 'till someone spots her, or it's night time, and will have no problem hiding after slipping from the shuriken.

Either way, this ninja is pissed.

ooc: Kidnapped because of me being gone for half a month, and she can't stay quiet for that long.]

...Sort of. I'm physically stronger than they are, I have a different way to use magic, and I taught myself how to be a ninja, while they have a school for it.

I think it's just about different worlds.

"Injury and illness are not the same, and if they did something to you, would it not be best to know so you can adapt?"

Better to focus that on something productive, though, don't you think?

It feels productive right now...

She just shakes her head and hands in front of her.

"They usually don't give people illnesses. It's normally things like blinding people, or giving them strange things that happen like...falling down when someone says a certain.

It's better to just go home, and check my other weapons, then I think I'll know what's wrong with me."

She's not a fan of going to the clinic. It's creepy there.

That's usually the explanation around here. I guess it's as good as any.

So, you were kidnapped and left to hang in a tree? ...Does that mean you missed the Shift?

Not much else can make more sense.

If it was within the last two weeks, then yup.

Ah! Well, if you look on the bright side you don't need a doctor for that, right?

...Well, you might've lucked out, tree-hanging and all.

Was it a really bad one?

Only if that happens a few more times.

[Her face would hurt. And excuse her while she sit up and turns away to put that shirt on.]

Much better.

Well, most everyone lost their memories and lived in new family groups, and some of us got sent to an asylum.

The first part doesn't sound so bad...what happened at the asylum?

The usual, you know. Shock therapy. Corrective actions. Luckily, it was only a few days.

...Anyway, the first part turned worse too. Turned out it was a Third Party cultist invasion or something of the sort.

Well damn, they really know how to do evil here...

They've had plenty of time to become experts on the subject.

...But yeah, if you meet anyone with moderate to severe trauma inflicted recently, that's probably it.

Yeah, and you would think they would start to get bored of it...maybe.

I'll remember that.

Yeah. Maybe. [sigh.] But life goes on here. On and on.

['Wait, am I sounding like a depressive?']

At least it keeps us busy. Keeps our psychiatrists in work.

'Till they get bored with us and send us home.

Yup. A bit to dramatic here sometimes though.

Well, yeah, I did just find a ninja dangling from a tree. Dramatic sounds about right.

So, how long have you been not boring our hosts?

I'd say that was more rude than anything.

...How long I've been here? Almost a year.

Well, rude for you. For me, it was kind of dramatic. At least before coming here, I didn't trip across a ninja every day. It's still pretty cool.

[As they start to approach the village limits, he gestures around.]

But if you've been here a year, I guess you're used to all that and the rudeness too.

['Although how old are you? You seem pretty young for a really pro ninja... Or do they begin training at 5 years, sleeping beside their katanas and rising every morning at 4:30 to haul water from the river?

I may have watched a few too many movies.']

...True. You think ninja's are cool then?

[She knows about the thing between ninjas and pirates. But oh good, almost to the village. She'll get to take this kitty shirt off soon-ish.]

Mostly. My world is kind of odd too, so it wasn't too hard to get used to this place.

Certainly cooler than the pirates I've met so far.

['...Well, Nami-san was okay, right? But Sparrow brings down the average... Just for confusing the hell out of me. Moving along!']

That's a little funny to hear. I always figured people thought their own world was what was normal.

['Then again, me saying so is ignoring about fifty lessons from my world.']

What's your ninja definition of odd?

Well of course it does, because you're angry.
