Who: Uzumaki Naruto & All the people.
Broadcast: Open Network Post
Action: The Hospitality Deck, and maybe the poor unsuspecting people of SS Huntress. (????)
When: 6th February

[Waking up in a place he didn't recognise, but knew instantly was nowhere like back home was unfortunately, a familiar feeling.

Waking up without his right arm, also, happened not to be an unfamiliar sensation. The fact that it had been healed, and all of his clothes repaired however, was as new for him as it was pleasant.

Naruto's understanding of the importance of his communicator, and surprisingly - the way it worked hadn't concerned him in the slightest, but it's several hours after his arrival on board the hospitality deck that he finally chooses to direct his attention to it. Fed, watered, and as clued up on what was going on as he could ever be without someone to direct his questions at left him here.

As soon as he starts recording his transmission, he gets right to the point. There's no familiar smile on his face, in fact - he looks bored. Fed up, probably. Their fight had ended, things were supposed to be getting better but now he's here.]

Know there's gotta be someone out there who can tell me what's up. Ain't Adstring, and it ain't Asgard. Who's controllin' everything? Who do we have t'fight this time? Why's it dark out. A guy called Madara didn't try an' steal the moon or something, right?

[He looks familiar to her. Didn't Itachi know him? She didn't remember him being in the prison long though.]

Moon's safe as far as I know.

Atroma seems to be the one or ones pulling the strings. Haven't been here a week yet myself, so I'm still trying to figure out where we're at with enemies and escape plans.

[kuramaless]

Oh hey. That's uh-- pretty useful.

Atro-what?

[You're so useful... thanks. Er. Maybe.]

Where is everyone?

[Video] 1/2

[honorbends]

[ god he would recognize that annoying voice anywhere, and he's about to pointedly say so, when naruto says the magic word. and he's been sort of keeping quiet to himself, because his life is actual garbage lately, BUT.

this is worth a video chat. ]

... Naruto?

[ a little tentatively, because this would actually be a great thing if naruto actually recognized him ]

[Video]

[honorbends]

[ -- and then he notices the missing arm, and immediately his brow furrows, because sasuke is missing an arm too, and --

you have got

to be kidding me. ]

Bet you twenty credits that I can guess what happened to your arm, moron.

[ ARE YOU KIDDING ME THE BOTH OF YOU ARE RIDICULOUS ]

[video]

[thebloodseal]

Nah, we're just not near a moon that I know of.

[video]

[kuramaless]

You're kiddin' right? There's gotta be a moon somewhere?

[Video]

[flameandpassion]

[ -- adstring.

it's been awhile since rei has actually legitimately grinned, but boy, is she thrilled. ]

You're late, Naruto.

[ rei looks a little older than when naruto last saw her, but her overall appearance hasn't changed much. she notices that missing arm, but doesn't say anything -- yet, anyway. she'll beat him up later. ]

Sasuke is here. I'm sure he'll be happy to see you, or as happy as he gets.

[Video]

[kuramaless]

[No way. She's older though, what is with that? Is it her? He's leaning right up close to get a good look for course, wiggling the screen around...]

Rei?

[Line face to grin in 2 seconds.

and here come the questions.]

Is he still little? What does he remember? Where is he? Where is everyone? Where are you?

[experiencepoints]

... Okay, I've got a guide to explain everything, but first I have to ask.

How exactly does one steal a moon?

video

[kuramaless]

Who're you?

Oh. That.

I dunno, I think he said he was gonna steal it, or do something to it to make it look like it wasn't there. Something about an eye? It was weird, okay?

[ino]

[ Naruto might look annoyed, but Ino looks delighted to see him. ]

Naruto...!

[ Apparently it's finally Konoha's lucky day, as far as ending up on reality shows go. ]

Video;

[kuramaless]

Ino!

[No way! That's enough to put a smile on his face, and maybe he's about to wipe that pretty one from hers because--]

Sakura-chan's here too, right?!

video;

[discessum]

[ Ah it wasn't so long ago that Alisaie was in the same situation so she can relate a bit. Why, she can even relate with bad guys trying to steal the moon as well which is admittedly what drew her attention. ]

This Madara... does he hail from the Garlean Empire? [ She's never met a Miqo'te with ears so maybe his parents were Hyur and Miqo'te together?

Yeah, she's just going to think of Naruto as half-catboy. Enjoy. ]

video;

[kuramaless]

[Wait until he works out that moon stealing isn't as weird a practice as he once thought!]

Garlean? Nope. He's-- well. He was from Konoha. Just hope he didn't end up here 'cause-- well. It's complicated, yanno?

1/? like I even know

[eyeforaneye]

[ It's shortly after lunch that he feels it. A nagging in the back of his head, an inexplicable pull that has him looking out one of the small windows in the Huntress's hull towards the Marsiva before he shakes himself out of it.

He has work to do. ]

2/?

[eyeforaneye]

[ It grows stronger, however, something he doesn't want to give a name to with how much he's already been thinking about Naruto since he arrived here. The timing was hard on him, sure, but it wasn't as if he hadn't been planning to leave the village and his side yet again anyway.

All the reasoning in the universe doesn't excuse emotion, though, and the simple fact of the matter remains: the void of space isn't even comparable to the void of being without his world and more specifically in a place where Naruto isn't, trying to dismiss his senses as biased by his thoughts. By the fact that he misses his friend, purely and simply, after years without him and a violent reconciliation. ]

[theshabbiestofmen]

Well, we're on a fleet of spaceships-- so really, there is no moon. Or many, I suppose, depending on how you look at it.

[That's more interesting than hi, welcome to being kidnapped, isn't it?]

You know Sasuke, then?

[Not that he knows the man very well himself, but it's interesting.]

video;

[kuramaless]

We're in the sky. The moon is in the sky.

[DUH.]

'Course I know Sasuke! [Here's the grin to go with it. It goes with Sasuke. These days, more than ever but--] You know him too?

Video

[save_the_souls]

[He hadn't meant to respond. But...well, when you see someone you haven't seen in years pop up, it's easy to forget things like turning off the response function. Especially when he's talking about places outside of Konoha- hell, Asgard and Adstring were both places he's heard before and why does he have one arm?]

Naruto...?

Video

[kuramaless]

[It takes him less than a minute. After Zuko, Rei and Sasuke he really didn't think that there could be a chance of seeing more people he already knew but this-- well, this is another thing he's going to decide he likes about being here.]

Can't believe there's someone else here, too.

[namisan]

[...huh. She remembers him coming back to Adstring and complaining about it then, too. You're kind of hard to forget, loudmouth. :|]

You just have the worst luck, huh? Well, at least you're in decent company.

[kuramaless]

[You just can't forget a nice face???]

Guess it could be a load worse.

[Oho! Decent company?]

Who's here?

voice

[planmade]

Tell me about these other places you mentioned.

[This isn't really the sort of person he prefers getting information from, but right now he's trying to learn anything he can. Going back over the past few entries has showed him a couple examples where those that arrive are recognized, and this is one of the better ones.]

voice

[kuramaless]

[C r e e p y]

Uh. Which one? Asgard or Adstring?

video.

[collegedropout]

You've been to Adstringendum?

[AND YET ANOTHER ONE. Sam is surprised to not really know Naruto accept by the passing of his name, though he joins Zuko in that regard. He knows Rei, though, and that's likely enough. She talked about old friends from time to time when he was living under her roof there.

... Though he thinks he'd seen him before.

Gone and back fast, though.]

video.

[kuramaless]

Yeah! You were there the last time!

But-- it wasn't long, y'know? Guess they only wanted me to be anywhere for like-- a few days or something.

[He shrugs. shuffling in closer to the communicator.]

So you ended up here, too? How long you been here? You saw the others? Zuko? Rei?

audio;

[feathery]

What's with the sudden influx of Asgard refugees.

[He's exaggerating. Naruto is literally the fifth person he's seen come from Asgard, including him and Jade.]

audio;

[kuramaless]

Bird dude! I totally forgot about you!

[Which is about to fall flat on it's face because he can remember pretty well their not-so-awesome time together now he thinks about it.]

video;

[nextlineis]

It's not dark out, you're in space! But uh... What's an Adstring? And an Asgard?

video;

[kuramaless]

Yeah! People said. It's kinda awesome right?

They're places. You know, kinda like this? Bunch of people turn up in the same place.

[voice]

[kingofbadlifechoices]

[Robb clears his throat before speaking.]

Haven't they told you, ser? This is called a show and we are here to entertain these lords of Atroma.

[When speaking of it he realizes once again how ridiculous this actually is.]

[voice]

[kuramaless]

[....]

What're you doin' to entertain 'em?

video.

[intelligently]

Thankfully I haven't heard anything about Thiazi.

( Just to check on the Asgard reference. Although Lydia didn't quite get to finish off that fight before coming here )

Re: video.

[kuramaless]

[!]

You were there too?

I heard they took her out.
