[She's muttering to herself here. What the journal picks up will be quiet and somewhat disjointed -- and definitely irritated.] Some kind of communications device, then. It seems a bit... bulky. I wonder... [Pause. There's a rhythmic tapping for a few moments.] Damn it.

[The sound of pages rustling. She clears her throat then and speaks loudly and forcefully.] Luceti. I've never heard of it. There's some sort of guide floating around that I've taken a look at, but I want to hear it from someone personally. Just why have I been brought here?

I have questions that need answered. It would be very much appreciated if someone would step up and start talking.

Start answering, or I start leveling the forest. [There's a pause and then a muttered:] If anyone even cares about the forest. Where the hell is this place? [It's obvious now that she's talking to herself. Journal? What journal?] Definitely not the cave I left. Nowhere near it; the place didn't look a thing like this.

[She trails off, muttering once in awhile about not knowing of anyone in the Bingo Book that can do something like this and about illusions cast before she abruptly cuts herself off. Right. Journal. Recording. She huffs.]

Damn it.

[End transmission.]

Material needs seem pretty well taken care of. I'm more concerned about why I'm here than how I'll survive here.

In the desert? Hate the desert.

[ Oh, totally. And he is actually a little amused at the qualifications of answering. ]

All right, not Luceti. We don't know exactly how we all got here, but an organization called the Malnosso are keeping us here. They left us a lot of breathing room, but there's a barrier around it all that no one's been able to get through. And they run experiments on everybody once in a while.

That's something I haven't been able to get a straight answer on. The blanket answer seems to be that people are just drawn to this world, the Malnosso included.

Oho, really? You're really lucky then, miss! Not everyone gets to find people from their world here; I was one of the luckier ones, myself.

It's not so bad.

Oh, that's nice to know. Chouji mentioned experiments. What's that all about? [Do not like the sound of that, not in the least. If these people can add limbs...]

Lucky. That's me.

Best vacation ever, sounds like.

[Sigh.]

"Not so bad?" What are you, mad? It's a horrible thing! A horrible nothing place!

[ He's been stranded here with all the cynics. Face the wrath of his optimism. ]

It's not all that bad on quiet days. Definitely not as good as being home, but not as bad as it could be.

Every once in a while, those Malnosso guys will do an experiment on the villagers. Seems to effect most people, but not always all of them. It's not always obvious what they plan to get from it. The first one I was here for, people were randomly teleporting all over the place.

The second... [Yeah. Halloween sucked.] Let's just say it was less pleasant. Whoever was in charge of that one had more sinister intentions with what they were doing.

Ha. Well, lucky from a 'you've been kidnapped' standpoint, anyway.

[Filters this because he's just a paranoid bunny face.]

So far it is only me, Chouji, Naruto, and Shikamaru.

...

Though Sasuke and Itachi are here as well.

It's home.

[That? That's a quick, spontaneous and not entirely humorless laugh.]

It's all subjective, I guess.

[Give her a second to process that, Shikamaru. She's thinking it over and, no matter what avenue her mind takes, she ends up hitting a brick wall.]

So it could be as harmless as simply being in a place you didn't expect. [Not that that was necessarily always harmless; Temari could think of a dozen different ways one could appear somewhere and immediately have problems of the life-threatening kind.

Her gaze cuts to Shikamaru then, eyes narrowed.] Or something more sinister. And we don't know why.

[Oh, God, optimism. Ew, ew, get it away.]

I'm being led to believe that it's all or nothing here: either quiet days or insane experiments. No in-betweens. That's wonderful.

[She's gonna learn this filtering thing.]

They been causing trouble?

Well, to each his own, lass; I prefer the sea myself.

Damn right it is. You're not lost or anything, are you? Though I'm guessing the people from your world can help you outta that dense forest.

[ JUST ACCEPT IT ]

Sorry, Temari-san. I don't think anyone would know what to do with an in-between day around here. [ They're not all awesome ninja, after all. ]

It's too inconsistent to make a good guess.

When they're not experimenting on people though, there's a section that tries to work with the villagers more. People seem quicker to trust them. [Oddly enough. Yeah, can you tell he's unimpressed with the idea?]

None that I am aware of...
