[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.]

[A sigh. But whatever, he'll see it when he finds her.]
Got it. I'll try not to keep you waiting long. [Despite the sarcasm, he means that.] Talk with Chouji while you wait - he should be able to answer most of your questions. [And Shikamaru can answer the rest when he gets there.]
[Voice]
[Filtered]
Right. Right. Don't get lost.
[Voice | Action]
Deciding that he really doesn't feel like running around and looking for her, the journal comes back out. Obviously he wouldn't be talking if he hadn't arrived.]
Hey, I said they were comfortable too.
[Action]
Over here.
[And with that, she closes the journal, drops out of the tree, and lands easily. Bright leaf green wings and all.]</small.
[Action]
Green? [As in... 'What's wrong with green?' He tosses the knapsack towards her - in it she'll find normal people clothes. Probably not her clothes, because he didn't take the time to look, but it's more weather-appropriate. And liveable.] Could be worse. There's people running around with rainbow wings and polka dots.
[Action]
[She catches the knapsack and looks in it, smile -- the not quite so scary one -- spreading over her features.] 'Bout damn time. It's getting cold out here.
[She pauses, clothes in hand.] You're gonna turn around, aren't you?
[Action]
[Action]
[Oh God, warmth. She could hug you right now, Shikamaru. She really could. She only pauses in her mad dash to get real clothes on when the wings present a problem, but manages to get even them under the clothes. She's cold, okay?]
You said messing up feathers could make me sick, yeah? They always this sore?
[Action]
Give it a week or two and that'll pass. Icing them helps. Hope you're not used to sleeping on your back though; that gets uncomfortable. [They're not so great for cloud watching either, which might upset him more. Priorities?]
[Action]
It's not like they actually hurt. [Huffiness gives way to amusement.] First you're getting me to strip in the woods and now you're talking about sleeping habits. Two months in Luceti's changed you, kid.
[Action]
He almost cringes at that, BUT RESISTS. Oh no, not giving her the satisfaction. She'll probably get enough from the annoyed tone in his voice.]
Troublesome woman... You're right. I was finally getting used to having some peace and quiet for once.
[Action]
Well, those days are over. You'll get fat and lazy otherwise. [Pause.] Er. Well. Fat, anyway.
[Action]
Heh. Don't worry. This place goes to hell in a handbasket often enough that even I can't get too complacent. [As she might have seen in the guide.]
[Action]
I'm assuming there's some sort of shelter in town. Somewhere. Hopefully. [Because it's cold, damn it all.]
[Action]
There's a whole village. Free food and housing; you have your pick of seven different apartment buildings. [He finally turns his head in her direction again, trusting she's dressed by now.] Your fan is in the weapons shop, by the way. I checked before I came out here.
[Action]
Good. [Arms crossed now. She never was messing with the wings. Got that?] I'd hate to have to build another; I'm partial to that one. It's got good weight.
[Action]
So shall I escort you there or are you planning on flying?
[Action]
I thought I'd cartwheel.
[Action]
Starting in the direction of the village.] I'll just put some distance between myself and your feet then.
[Action]
[And without another word, she falls into step.]
[Action]
He takes to the trees, trusting she'll follow.] Chouji explain things to you?
[Action]
Welcome to Luceti, blah blah blah. Find a place to stay, take what you need, don't destroy the forest. Blah. Blah. Blah.
[Unimpressed. She's definitely that.]
I want my fan first.
