Good morning, fellow victims of all round lamesauce! Yuffie here, checking in with the morning report. I'm sure you'll all be total overjoyed to hear that no bed bugs bit last night, nor did any mutant slime monsters from the darkest depths of Plumbingsville. As for you guys, no pulled stitches, I hope? Right? 'Specially you two, Kenshin and Kudo.

The rest of you! Lemme know how you're all doing!

Oh, and Suzie: I might have something for you. Depends. I'll let'cha know, alright?

You're not ninja, you're a big mother hen, Wutai.

[thatdamnedninja.livejournal.com]

I just need to know how hard I have to smack 'em if they mess up all my hard work, Mizuho.

'Sup!

[mizuhomaiden.livejournal.com]

The concern is touching. I'm sure they love you for it.

I exploded a Spider last night. What'd you do?

[thatdamnedninja.livejournal.com]

Damn straight. They'd wither away without my guiding light.

Got stuff for kickass shinies. Was there anything left afterwards?

[mizuhomaiden.livejournal.com]

What about the ones that flourish in the darkness? You're supposed to be ninja - do you have to shine all the time?

Ooo, shinies! I decided to only explode the Spider a little.

[thatdamnedninja.livejournal.com]

I roll both ways. Makes life more interesting.

The best kind of shiny. Only a little? I guess it didn't manage to crawl on your face, then.

[mizuhomaiden.livejournal.com]

Only both? I'm disappointed in you. I'd have thought the Flower of Wutai would have more than two dance steps.

Are you going to keep me in suspense about the shinies or am I going to have to have someone annoy you until you tell me? And had a Spider touched me or [inkblot] Yukari, I would have used the bigger explosion. I always though journalists were supposed to be like rats, not spiders.

[thatdamnedninja.livejournal.com]

Hey, I've got a whole routine! But I don't share it with people who can't keep up.

A bit of suspense is good for ya. Maybe he's a rat-spider mutant, which might explain a few things. Then again, I've never had the misfortune of meeting him, myself.

[mizuhomaiden.livejournal.com]

I'd say show me, but you'd never be able to keep up with me even with your full array of moves.

I deal with enough suspense as it is. Tell me later?

You're so lucky you've not had the [inkblot] privilege of exploding him. Or breaking his hand. Or kicking him into the bulletin board.

[thatdamnedninja.livejournal.com]

Pfft. The pure brilliance of my skills would blind you.

Better than that; when I can, I'll show you.

Man. He pissed you off that much? And he's still breathing?

[mizuhomaiden.livejournal.com]

And I'd still be able to kick your ass while blind.

Oh, cool! I can't wait to see it, whatever it is.

Yes, he did. Though I did the latter two a few days ago. I only exploded him last night. The only reason he got off with the broken hand was because they sedated me and carted me off to the other side of the room. I think. It's a bit fuzzy.

[superdynamic.livejournal.com]

Depends on what? And what's Plumbingsville?

[thatdamnedninja.livejournal.com]

On how much I need. And it's the bathroom. Those places REALLY SUCK.

[superdynamic.livejournal.com]

Ah, okay. Let me know. And -- OH. I should have figured that out, probably. Do they really suck in general, or is it worse at night?

[thatdamnedninja.livejournal.com]

Will do! They're fine in the day, but they worse than suck at night. Seriously. I'm convinced that the smell and gunk will combine, grow legs, and eat everybody's faces.

[thatdamnedninja.livejournal.com]

Only if I kick my ass first.

Here are your hints! "shiny", "cool", and "toy". Maybe I'll even let you touch it!

What a loser. Which part went boom?

[superdynamic.livejournal.com]

How could the smell and gunk get that much worse just overnight?

[mizuhomaiden.livejournal.com]

Good. Save me the trouble.

Come on, Wutai. No fair pulling at a ninja's heart strings like that. You better let me touch it. [inkblot][inkblot] that sounded really bad, didn't it?

I just singed him a little. It was a little exploding. Sadly he had no hair to set on fire.

[thatdamnedninja.livejournal.com]

How do adorably fuzzy kittens turn into great big human-munching zombie-fiends from Hell?

[Randomly switching writing styles every few words]

[mind-the-sukima.livejournal.com]

How sweet of you.

[thatdamnedninja.livejournal.com]

Like hell I'd make it easy for you.

Couldn't have sounded worse if you tried, Mizuho.

How 'bout south of the border?

[mizuhomaiden.livejournal.com]

Him touching you would have broken one of the terms of the interview that he agreed to. It would have been justified [inkblot] and enjoyable.

[mizuhomaiden.livejournal.com]

You had to go there, didn't you? Excuse me while I go rinse my brain with acid.

[thatdamnedninja.livejournal.com]

Don't forget the bleach for afterward! [ There's a little caricature of somebody doing the peace sign. ]

[mizuhomaiden.livejournal.com]

You're lucky I like you.

[thatdamnedninja.livejournal.com]

You've got good taste, I'll give you that much.

[superdynamic.livejournal.com]

How do you know it's the same cats? And those do that for a reason. I don't see what the purpose would be of making the bathroom more dirty overnight -- hoping we catch a disease?

[mizuhomaiden.livejournal.com]

Damn right, I do.

[thatdamnedninja.livejournal.com]

Educated guess. As for the bathrooms, haven't you noticed? The whole of the rest of the building isn't totally up to scratch at night, either. It's like it ages a few decades just over dinner, or something.

[kingside]

Fine.

[thatdamnedninja.livejournal.com]

Super.

[superdynamic.livejournal.com]

[HE'S TRYING TO DEFEND THE CUTE KITTIES]

Wouldn't it be a better guess that there are regular cats and there are mutated cats, not that they change at night? And no, I haven't gone in the bathrooms at night yet. I guess the building does look different, I didn't really notice. I mean, it's dark and all. I wonder -- maybe the building itself is in some kind of time warp? Could be connected to all the other weird time stuff going on.

[thatdamnedninja.livejournal.com]

Hey, either theory has basis. It's not like I'm suggesting we go 'round pre-emptively killing any cute kittens we come across; I happen to like cute kittens. Except for when they're trying to eat me. Just keep it in mind, yeah?

Could be! And if that's true, would it extend to the area outside, too? I dunno. This stuff really isn't my area of expertise.

Know what you're doing tonight?

[superdynamic.livejournal.com]

Okay, I guess. I like kittens too. I don't want to think they're the ones trying to eat people at night.

I have no idea how it works, either. If only we could see some of the outside area during the day to compare -- other than the town we're in, I mean. I was actually wondering if this place changed at night, too.
