[012] Accidental Voice

[dangerouswind]

[Temari only brings her journal along to the kitchen because she doesn't like to be out of touch. Had she known it would fall open and start recording at the least opportune time, she would have left it in her apartment.

There's a series of clanging and clanking, shattering glass, and a startled exclamation from Temari. There's silence for a moment, then another loud clank followed by a soft yelp.

... Dinner is pretty much a bust.]

[Temari rolls here eyes and looks heavenward.] Don't I know it. There's only so much I can do some days.

[Bonding over boredom.]

[weaponry]

If I actually had something to do, I'd be able to accomplish more in three days than anyone could in three lifetimes. [ She sighs. ] This was the most exciting thing to happen all week. [ If only for that ridiculous entrance... ]

[dangerouswind]

Then the boredom is punctuated by fighting for your life. One of these days, I'm just gonna snap.

[weaponry]

If you ever do, let me know. We can probably take out three or four of those kidnapping robots together.

[dangerouswind]

That wouldn't be an easy feat. [She's been on the receiving end of those kidnapping ventures.]

[weaponry]

Well, we'll be on offense and expecting them this time. [ She remembers arriving and then hearing about you being kidnapped. ]

[dangerouswind]

See, that would help if we knew when they were coming.

[weaponry]

Would tracking them work? Or a barrier ninjutsu of sorts?

[dangerouswind]

I tried setting a trap for them; they set it off but they were too fast to do much of anything about it.

[weaponry]

Do you think my explosives would work? They'd have to evade them point blank to stand a chance but maybe they're naturally durable enough that it wouldn't affect them at all.

[dangerouswind]

[Temari drums her fingers on the counter for a moment, thinking this through.] They're pretty durable, but there's no reason not to try. At the very least, it'd buy a little time and maybe gather a little info on 'em.

[ Tenten's expression moves to a more cheerful expression. ]

Excellent! Then I'll do that. It doesn't hurt anyone if they're attempted, right? Especially if it's for research. [ She pauses before another sparks in her head. ] We should try making a study to see what type of attacks are successful on them and what type of attacks aren't, so we can better defend ourselves from those Malnosso lackeys.

but who's the genius and who's insane?

[dangerouswind]

[She does realize these things take people to be experimented on, right? It's not all fun and games... but really Temari's seeing the allure of plotting against them.] I can ask Shikamaru what he's noticed about them. Don't ever tell him, but I know he's picked up something that I haven't seen.

idk Tenten's not as smart as Temari but she's not insane

[weaponry]

[ Of course she does! She's just proud that she's exacting her revenge against these things, or at least she's going to help the community exact their revenge. Besides if the inevitable is going to happen, they might as well get something out of it that isn't being prodded by men in surgical masks while you're awake. ]

Isn't that Shikamaru normally though? Doesn't he always pick up on things no one else sees?

[dangerouswind]

Usually that's the case, but I'm pretty sure he's made a point to look at these robots whenever he can.

[weaponry]

Well that's something that has to be investigated. I wonder what he knows, or what he's trying to know at least.

[dangerouswind]

It's hard telling. I doubt he's hiding much about them, but there's no harm in asking.

[weaponry]

[ Tenten now gets up and begins to dust herself off. ]

Yeah. If you do ask him, please let me know what he says.
