Yo. Don't really have any messages for any--- Oh, yeah. Kenshin, I wanna check on that arm of yours sometime soon. And Orangello; F4 my room if you don't have any objections. Still no promises. The rest of you, usual message applies; stay safe, don't do anything super dumb, and if you're not in one piece tomorrow morning, I'll cram the bulletin board down your throat. Whole.

Anybody got anything for me, then? Messages, words of praise, interesting info or a heap of candy, which I totally deserve for being, well, me? And if you've got any plans you think I might wanna know about, drop a line about those, too. Same if anybody needs me for something tomorrow, too; lemme know!

F4? That's convenient.

[thatdamnedninja.livejournal.com]

You didn't know? I've never hidden my room number.

[mizuhomaiden.livejournal.com]

Nope. I never bothered to look.

[thatdamnedninja.livejournal.com]

I'm wounded. :(

[All mentions of 'F4' in Yuffie's previous replies has been removed]

[mizuhomaiden.livejournal.com]

What possible reason would I have for going to your room, Wutai? It's not like I have a reason to sneak in and kill you when you're asleep. Geeze.

[thatdamnedninja.livejournal.com]

That's not what I meant! Not that you could sneak up on me, anyway. Pfft.

[mizuhomaiden.livejournal.com]

You keep telling yourself that.

[notachick.livejournal.com]

As soon as the doors unlock, I'll make my way to you.

[thatdamnedninja.livejournal.com]

I'd say take your time, but it looks like you're gonna be busy tonight.

[notachick.livejournal.com]

It's a welcome assignment though. Training is always a worthy cause, don't you think?

[thatdamnedninja.livejournal.com]

Always, and then some. Almost wish I could join in.

[notachick.livejournal.com]

You're always welcome to join if I am on training duty, Yuffie-san.

[thatdamnedninja.livejournal.com]

I dunno~. Room might be an issue, and I don't wanna make your puppies jealous.

[notachick.livejournal.com]

Not all of them train with me at once - and if room is an issue, there is always the hallway. Working in cramped conditions seems to be a norm here anyway, so isn't that training in and of itself?

And why should they be jealous?

[thatdamnedninja.livejournal.com]

I guess so, but if you ever want more room, the Boxing Club said that I could borrow some of their space.

Hehe~. It's nothing.

[notachick.livejournal.com]

Where is their space anyway? I can never keep track of where everyone's meeting~

Oh, now that's not fair, Yuffie-san. You really should tell me what this is all about.

[thatdamnedninja.livejournal.com]

Staff training area on the second floor. I had some plans to head up that way anyway, so if you wanna go, I'd be up for it.

Girl's gotta keep some element of mystery, y'know!

[notachick.livejournal.com]

Interesting. I'll keep that in mind.

I suppose, but keep too much secret and a man will lose all interest.

[thatdamnedninja.livejournal.com]

No directions needed, right?

Yeah, yeah! I know that stuff. I'm an expert.

[notachick.livejournal.com]

I know my way around, unless you'd like to come be my date for the evening and show me♥

An expert, is it? My, my, I'll have to be careful then.

[thatdamnedninja.livejournal.com]

Dates with the Great Ninja Yuffie don't come cheap!

Yup, world renowned. There's nobody better.

[kingside]

I found you a potential teammate, but he also seems to be the independent sort. Would you be interested in speaking to him at some point?

[thatdamnedninja.livejournal.com]

Either you're allergic to smalltalk or you're phobic of it. Can't decide which.

Anyways, it depends who it is. Who is it?

[kingside]

Does it matter?

Spider Jerusalem. You may also know him as [And a drawing of Spider's tattoo goes here.]

[thatdamnedninja.livejournal.com]

Of course it matters! Now you're supposed to confirm which it is, or debunk both.

HELL N Are you out of your--- You actually tolerated a conversation with that weirdo long enough to decide that he's a (possibly?) viable addition to The Cause. I find myself both disgusted and grudgingly impressed.

[kingside]

It's neither.

Possibly viable, yes. In order to know for certain, however, he'll need to produce results. The same could be said of everyone else currently involved. Are you interested? I fully understand if you aren't.

Then what is it~?

If I say 'yes' and he decides to try anything remotely creepy, weird, or gross, there might not be many pieces left by the time I'm through. No matter how good he is at investigating. Not that I'm saying I'll say yes, yet. I mean you've got pretty good taste in hooking up with ol' Edgey, but, uh… I never thought I'd be able to get all this covered by myself, but I do have standards, and that guy Before I say one way or another, is there anything you can tell me about him? Never actually met him myself, just have what I've seen and heard to go off which is more than enough.

[Strikes so very legible.]

[kingside]

There are more important issues demanding my attention.

Taste had nothing to do with Only that he's a journalist, highly unorthodox, and very persistent. I would have asked for more information, but he was interviewing me for the majority of our conversation.

[thatdamnedninja.livejournal.com]

Right at this very single itty-bitty fraction of a second?

Your gag reflex is seriously unnatural. Dammit. If I'm going to be collaborating with him outside of the field, I don't want to be resisting the urge to break his face every other minute. If I'm gonna be working with him in the field, I don't need a distraction. Especially if it's one I'll have to babysit. Geez, what a pain. C'mon, wrack your brains here. Is there anybody else who might be a little more suitable for the job? There's gotta be somebody.

[kingside]

Perhaps not.

Should I be flattered? There are, but none that have expressed an interest in this particular project. That may change tomorrow when I advertise the network again, however. I'd recommend holding off until then, in any case. It would be best to have a better idea of what other options were available to you before making a decision.

[thatdamnedninja.livejournal.com]

See, I'm right.

Thaaa~at depends. I wasn't planning on sealing my fate, anyway; I was just deciding if I should bother talking to Spider at all, not about whether or not I'd team up with him. If Suzaku and/or Edgeworth ever decide they wanna work on the outside, though, they'd be totally welcome. Other than that, I'll wait n' see who else wants in!

[kingside]

I suppose.

On what? How cruel. I'll let you know if either of them do so, at any rate, but then they'll probably know enough to contact you themselves.

[thatdamnedninja.livejournal.com]

It's the natural result.

A number of important factors. Cruel to be kind. Thanks, anyway. You guys doing anything fun tonight?

[kingside]

Ah, so you're a force of nature now, too?

Such as? You're welcome, and that depends on how you define "fun." I was thinking of continuing our work from last night, but it's not terribly exciting.

[thatdamnedninja.livejournal.com]

A force to be reckoned with!

I thought they were obvious. If Suzie still needs metal for a sword, maybe you could go do that instead. That's entertaining.
