Who: Yamanaka Ino
Broadcast: Open
Action: Only the Three Twins
When: Now!

[ no video here, just audio. because she looks terrible. she sounds terrible too, but hey, at least you don't have to look at her, just listen to her sniffles. run away, three twins crew. ]

Yeah, hi, whoever's running this stupid game?

When the HELL are we gonna stop on a planet that has some sort of plant life I can use to make medicine? Or, even better, how about one that's actually advanced enough to have the pre-made medicine to kill whatever this dumb alien bug is?

Don't piss me off. I will find a way to make you regret it.

Sincerely,
Ino ♥

action!

[catamite]

You can make medicine?

[asked pathetically from the doorway. what up, crewmate.]

[ino]

[ oh hey there dude. she automatically goes to smooth out her hair. it ... really doesn't help with how sick she looks but lol ]

Well, normally, yeah. When we're not in the middle of space where there are no plants or herbs.

[catamite]

[yeah he's pretty much given up on looking presentable. he's just going to go ahead and rock the little scraggly hobo look.]

Oh, you're like a...

[hang on, he knows there's a word for this... thinking hard...]

...herb... person?

[yeah no he's got nothing.]

[ino]

[ LMAO ... stares for a moment ]

I'm a healer. And, I guess you could say I'm something of a botanist.

[catamite]

Oh! Yeah, a botanist. That's what I meant.

My mom said that my grandma was one of those. ...But she was a horrible person, so...

[yep.]

[ino]

[ HOW DOES SHE EVEN RESPOND TO THAT

how about by ignoring the last part asjkldhsjka ]

My dad and I used to run a flower shop, back where I come from.

[catamite]

[yes good. it's for the best, really.]

Oh wow, a whole shop for just flowers?

[ino]

Of course! There's hundreds, even thousands of different kinds of flowers. And the art of arranging flowers and making bouquets isn't something that just anyone can do, you know!

[catamite]

[he sleepily plunks his head against the doorframe he's leaning in as he imagines it]

Wow... I bet that's super pretty.

[ino]

[ SO CUTE. She smiles ]

Of course! There's nothing better than being surrounded by all those colors, and the smell of all those fresh flowers.

[catamite]

We had a couple plants in pots and stuff, and someone we knew had a garden once, but that was it.

Plants grew really well where you're from, I guess?

[ino]

Well, part of running a flower shop is knowing exactly what a plant needs to grow. You can't just throw seeds in some dirt any time you want and expect it to turn out alright!

[catamite]

Maybe we just don't have anybody left who knows how, then.

Where are you from?

[ino]

A village called Konoha.

How about you?

[catamite]

A village? Like a little one?

I live in a big giant city. I don't even know if we have, like... little villages anymore.

[ino]

Oh, no, it's not small at all. There's thousands of people living there. In fact, I think Konoha is bigger than pretty much any other village that I know of.

How many people live in your city?

[catamite]

[he yawns and rubs an eye]

Like... all of them.

[ino]

[ a little laugh ]

All of them? So there's only one city that has people in it?

[catamite]

[kind of a sheepish look]

...That's weird, huh?

[ino]

--Eh?

[ WAS HE ... NOT JOKING? ]

I mean ... I don't think I've ever heard of that before, no ...

[catamite]

It's just kind of how things are back home, I guess.

But everybody I've talked to here thinks it's weird, so... [he shrugs!]

[ino]

Is it ... unsafe to be outside the city?

[catamite]

Oh, yeah!

[his eyes get a little wide and he picks his head up so he can look properly spooked]

It's super deadly outside the city. It's all, like... a big killer forest. That's why all the plants and stuff are regulated inside the city.

[he can't remember if he mentioned that part or not...]

[ino]

Well, that makes a lot more sense, then. It would be awful if someone went out there and got hurt, right?

[catamite]

Well... I think they care more about stuff getting in, but yeah.

There's nothing good out there anyway.
