Action: optional, but on the caprine
When: rite meow!!!

So, it's September already, which means my birthday is coming up!

I mean, it's technically February back home, but I'm not gonna complain about celebrating my birthday early. Besides, that seems like way too complicated math to try and figure out what it should be.

[It actually is not that complicated. It's the 28th of February where he's from. C'mon Jojo...]

[But then again, this is the guy who struggled at determining the age of someone who was a baby 50 years ago...]

Anyway, I'm gonna be nineteen on the 27th. Just to give you guys the heads up. You know. [He grins.] In case you wanna get me something.

You seem awfully confident in that statement, Jojo.

[nextlineis]

I-I am.

[PLEASE STOP.]

[ino]

Awfully confident. Maybe a little too confident.

[nextlineis]

[He just sorta. You know. Blurts this out.] You can stay where you are!

video -> action LMFAO

[ino]

[ She's past being angry and is now more in trolling territory now, so ...

She disappears from the screen, and pops up right behind him. Ninja teleportation. ]

I'm not hearing a "please".

[nextlineis]

[Joseph jumps so bad he falls right out of his seat and into a heap on the floor with a very undignified yelp.]

Goddammit, Ino! Give a guy a little warning before you do that!

[ino]

[ Sorry, she's laughing too hard to respond. That yelp was A+, 5/5, would terrify again. ]

[nextlineis]

You are such an asshole, you know that?

[He pulls himself back up into his seat.]

[ino]

[ Wiping her eyes. And still giggling a little bit. ]

You weren't totally wrong.

[nextlineis]

[He shakes his head.]

There's something very wrong with you.

[ino]

Wow, now you're really asking for it.

[ Makes a show of cracking her knuckles. ]

[nextlineis]

[He stumbles back out of his seat and holds up his hands.]

Come on, Ino! There's no way in hell I deserve this this time!

[ino]

[ For being so tiny, she sure can do the menacing looming thing pretty well. ]

Didn't your granny ever tell you it's not polite to tell girls they have something wrong with them?

[nextlineis]

[There's definitely floating around Ino.]

I'm pretty sure when Granny Erina talked about girls, she wasn't talking about girls like you.

[ino]

I'm just as much of a girl as any other girl.

Or are you saying I don't look like a girl, either?

[ IT'S A FUCKING TRAP. ]

[nextlineis]

What?! No! I'm not-- I never--

[YOU ARE CRUEL, MADAM.]

[ino]

[ REACHES OVER ....



To pat him on the head. Good puppy. ]

That's better.

[nextlineis]

[Joseph braces himself even if he refuses to actually flinch, but then Ino's patting him on the head and... Joseph frowns.]

How come you don't ever do things like this to other people?

[ino]

How do you know I don't?

[nextlineis]

[He gives her a look because, okay. He's stupid. But he's not that stupid.]

Call it a lucky guess.

[ino]

[ She puts her hands on her hips ]

You're the only one who's annoying enough to justify that type of behavior. If Naruto were here, he'd have it ten times worse.

[nextlineis]

Then I wish he was here to drive you nuts.

[ino]

I haven't seen anyone from my world in years, so chances aren't high. Looks like you're stuck with the job.

[nextlineis]

This is bullshit. I want it known that I don't like it.

[Actually that second statement is bullshit. Joseph likes attention, negative or otherwise.]

[ino]

[ Draws a single tear down her face. Sure you don't, Jojo, sure you don't. ]
