Business as usual, guys. Everybody still here? If you need me for anything, let me know, and remember: if you don't respond, I hunt you down and kick your ass. Twice.

This one is all right somehow. How are you, Yuffie-dono? Did you--

[thatdamnedninja.livejournal.com]

Somehow I'm OK. Anything interesting happen with you guys? I found some trees.

[degozaruyo.livejournal.com]

Other than being mortally wounded? No. We got waylaid at the top of the stairs and didn't make it any further than that.

This one needs to speak with you at your leisure, Yuffie-dono. There is something that must be discussed.

Using strikeouts isn't playing fair! Waylaid… I don't need to punch anyone, do I?

Sounds scandalous. Alright, does lunch sound good to you? It sounds good to me.

Re: [strikes legible]

[degozaruyo.livejournal.com]

Not unless you can punch ghosts, no. And the ghost that waylaid us is not one that this one would like punched anyway.

That should be fine.

[thatdamnedninja.livejournal.com]

… Yeah. Guess that wasn't just an isolated incident, then, if it happened at opposite sides of the institute and everywhere in between.

Chin up! You're having lunch with The Great Ninja Yuffie, not pulling teeth.

[superdynamic.livejournal.com]

[some false starts, scribbled out furiously] . . . Yuffie? Is it really you?

[kinda scribbly handwriting]

[thatdamnedninja.livejournal.com]

yeah hi. Sorry about that whole. thing. With the thing. You OK? and I'm trying really hard to be coherent here but it's not really working, if you need me to re-write this with 99% less babble and 100% more legibility i'm pretty sure i can manage it sometime NEXT YEAR.

[ Several pen taps and a tiny doodle of a chocobo later ]

Pretty sure it's me, unless they've gone and uploaded my consciousness into some robot that just so happens to look like my identical twin. Which would be so goddamn typical, you have no idea.

[superdynamic.livejournal.com]

. . . oh. I'm glad you're okay. I. . . the same thing happened to me. I don't understand this.

[thatdamnedninja.livejournal.com]

Wait, wait, it did? You mean... Sheesh, what a night. I'd say that spending time with me is usually a lot safer better saner, but I'd be lying.

Did you wake up with any injuries?

[superdynamic.livejournal.com]

No, not any that I -- got last night. Why? Are you still hurt?

Oh, and -- did you hear anything, or see anything, before it happened?

[thatdamnedninja.livejournal.com]

Nope, not a scratch! Just wanted to make sure.

Yeah. Aerith. [ A few heavily scribbled out words ] She was a friend from back home. The whole thing started just after the first intercom announcement, when we got out of the F-Block, didn't it? I mean, I didn't see her 'til we got outside the institute, but the walls started going creepy-freaky pretty much from the get-go. And then when we reached the trees…

[superdynamic.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I saw someone too. Not her. Did you hear her voice? Did you hear her -- saying anything in particular?

[thatdamnedninja.livejournal.com]

Flashbacks of the time leading up to her death, if that's what you mean. Same with you?

[superdynamic.livejournal.com]

She Yeah.

[thatdamnedninja.livejournal.com]

Y'know, looking at it one way, this almost makes a few things easier. After this, the first chance I get, I'm wiping this place off the face of the planet with no hesitations. And I'll let them know exactly what hit them. (Not that I wasn't gonna before, but this is on a whole other level~)

[superdynamic.livejournal.com]

I'll help you.

[thatdamnedninja.livejournal.com]

Yep! But only if you come up with a better codename for me.

[superdynamic.livejournal.com]

No, I like that one. It sounds like a real name.

[thatdamnedninja.livejournal.com]

Correction!! It sounds lame.

[superdynamic.livejournal.com]

Fine, then, pick your own.

[thatdamnedninja.livejournal.com]

That'd be cheating. Besides! I know you've got it in you.

[remedying.livejournal.com]

Serious business today, huh? You all right?

[thatdamnedninja.livejournal.com]

Understatement. And I'm peachy as a peachy peach. How 'bout you? I really hope you haven't been picking on any more innocent and undeserving ninja.

[remedying.livejournal.com]

Then call me a peachy peach too. First of all, you're the only ninja I know, and second I'm pretty sure it's the other way around.

[thatdamnedninja.livejournal.com]

You can't be a peachy peach; I'm already The peachy peach. You'll have to come up with something else. Undeserving and innocent ninja, then?

[remedying.livejournal.com]

There isn't room for two peaches? Alright, I'll sit on some other title. Ha ha, very funny. You're not very innocent, you know.

[thatdamnedninja.livejournal.com]

It'd be an intrusion upon my unique nature, so no, there definitely isn't. Are you gonna be the Banana Fairy? And of course I'm innocent! You're just overly suspicious and sensitive.

[remedying.livejournal.com]

Aha, I see. Well, special little snowflake, then I dare not impose. Banana Fairy? No way! That just sounds silly. And I am not.

[thatdamnedninja.livejournal.com]

Special little ninja star, you mean. And it isn't silly! It's just like you. It fits. And it's staying. You're also paranoid and prone to making weird assumptions. Didn't you know that it's a virtue to admit your failings?

[remedying.livejournal.com]

I'm not going by it, and just where on earth did you get that idea?

[thatdamnedninja.livejournal.com]

You will, unless you come up with something better. I got it from you, 'course. Where else?

[remedying.livejournal.com]

How about we just use my name? I don't really need some stupid title. I think you're just making things up by this point.

[Messier than usual, but still recognizable.]

[kingside]

I'm here.

[thatdamnedninja.livejournal.com]

So I saw. Or was that heard?

No, wait. It was both.

[Even messier.]

[kingside]

We're on the same page, then. Splendid.

[thatdamnedninja.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure I caught all the details the first time round, what with all the wigging out and the yelling. Any chance of an encore at lunch?

[Still messy]

[kingside]

No.
