[ open ]
Date & Time: 12 August all day, morning to night
Location: All over this place, also in her room at night if Meg Masters, her roommate, wants to bug her or ... something lmao
Characters: Ino Yamanaka and OPEN
Summary: Ino is a little disoriented and she just wants to get home.
Warnings: None?
Ino was still ready for war. She had been in the middle of it, even, before being thrust into this ... strange world. She had taken her very formal arrival seriously; after all, fighting against reanimated Shinobi had opened her mind up to all sorts of strange occurrences. Her questions had been left unanswered, however, and she left feeling very unsatisfied.
She held the bow in her right hand, walking proud and tall in her Chuunin vest and uniform. She wasn't sure who to approach, if anyone was an enemy here, if it was even safe to walk around. But she was far from frightened. Adrenaline still coursed through her veins, senses heightened, limbs relaxed in case something attacked.
But, overall, she just felt and appeared very confused.

morning, out in the streets
Amongst the small morning crowd, it was Ino that caught Corosa's eye -- maybe because of the hair, maybe the stance -- whatever it was, she stood out. And judging by the way she was moving, she was in no great hurry. So Corosa picked her out, approached her from behind at little more than a fast walk so as to not alarm her. He was already breathing raggedly, though. He'd been running earlier.
Corosa started to reach out, but halfway through the motion he looked down and remembered the missing half of his right arm and stopped, letting the stump fall back to his side. He contented himself with just squinting at Ino instead.
"Excuse me," he said, vaguely recalling his manners. "I need help."
this thread will be great I can tell already
Luckily for him, she had several items in the pockets of her best, bandages happening to be one of them. Though she wasn't sure what else she could for him, besides getting him either to the nearest hospital or medic tent.
oh god yes THEY'RE ALREADY SUCH A GOOD DUO
He lets his hand fall, staring at Ino, suddenly feeling very self-conscious. She was quite a bit younger than he'd first thought, too. Oh, well.
"I'm looking for a place," he said, to clear things up.
BFFLES~
"I'm not familiar with this place." Her voice was blunt. "I don't think I can help you."
She certainly wouldn't turn him down if it was an emergency. It would only be a short delay, then she would ... look for a way home, as futile as it may be. She couldn't just give up. Yamanakas never give up, and she didn't plan on being the first to do so.

He trailed off once he realized exactly how insane he was starting to sound. He sighed, hung his head, pinched the bridge of his nose and tried to think of a way to explain that wouldn't make him sound like a nutcase.
"They're... the people, here." He made a vague gesture upwards. "They're keeping someone prisoner. I want to try and help him. But I have to find out where he is, and..." A frown, now. "I can't go indoors."
no subject
"And you're sure of this?"
His last statement doesn't register much in her ears. She hears it and processes it, sure, but it doesn't stand out.
no subject
He'd tried to convince himself otherwise. It'd been a strange few days, after all. But he knows himself; he knows how paranoid he can get, and he knows exactly how crazy other people think him, sometimes. He knows himself inside and out. Therefore, he also knows that he does not see things. He trusts his senses. They're the only damn things that he can trust, nowadays.
Therefore, it'd happened. The desert, the ocean, the room, the prisoner -- he knows it was all real. He just doesn't understand how, yet.
"There's..." Corosa scratches his head. "More to this place than meets the eye, I think. They're pulling us from, from entirely different worlds, aren't they? They're powerful. They're... hardly telling us everything. So I need to find this place. This prisoner. I think he can help." He said he could.
no subject
"He might be our only hope to get out of here." It was a slight murmur to herself, an image of her teammates flashing in her mind. They were so screwed without her.
no subject
"I think so, too," he said, to Ino's second remark. "He said he could help. We just have to find him, first."
And how would they start? Corosa remembered the inside of the prisoner's room. Ino could, presumably, search around the city better than he could. But the city was big; Corosa hardly had any idea where to start. He barely even knew anything about this place.
"You'll help, then?" he asked, looking back to Ino. Only then did it occur to him that proper introductions had not yet been made. He held out his one hand. "Corosa Nyem. Gunslinger."
no subject
"If you only saw the interior, that isn't much to go on. For all we know, all of these buildings look the same on the inside."
no subject
"I can't imagine that they would all look like that," he mumbled. Then, realizing how useless that statement was, he explained, "The room was big, dark... I remember, uhm. Stone and steel. And water." A frown. "There was water running, somewhere, inside the building. The floor was wet."
He looked around, again. It had been such an oppressive, unfriendly place. But all the buildings here look oppressive and unfriendly to him. And they all looked the same, to boot. Corosa had not spent long enough in the city proper to know anything about it yet.
"I think we need a map," he said.
no subject
"They don't show the inside of buildings."
no subject
Not at headquarters, certainly, but it might be a good place to start searching anyway. Speaking of.
He frowned. "There's... two other people who may have seen the room, too."
no subject
"Who are they?" She'd need more than just herself to locate this guy.
no subject
"I never got their names," he said. He didn't feel terribly stupid or guilty about that. He'd walked from a fight into an ocean and he did not think that he could be blamed for not pausing to ask for peoples' names. "One of them was... a grey girl, with horns."
He paused just to reflect on how incredibly sane he sounded. And he sighed.
"And the other was a dark-skinned woman, with..." Another pause, to recall. He hadn't paid attention. There'd been monsters to fight. "Blond hair, I think."
Both had been fairly unique-looking. He assumed it would not be hard to spot either.
no subject
"That isn't much to go on in a place like this." For all she knew, that could be normal in this place. What with everyone being from different worlds and all that nonsense.
no subject
Red X frowned behind his mask. "It's sentient and it still won't hit a target by itself?" he asked to no one in particular. But, then there was its latest evolution. The xenothium marks on the inside of his gloves began glowing; and the three daggers began glowing as well, a red X-like design on the bottom of the handle glowing as well. Xenothium then began firing out of the handles, forming a web of that sticky, elastic material... which then began glowing, along with making a beeping sound.
"... Crap," he hissed, ducking behind a nearby metal crate, as a series of fragmentation explosions went off with the other targets. Hopefully Ino would know to hide, too.
no subject
She had watched Red X from the moment she entered, curious about his weapon. The mask was intriguing as well.
And if he was suddenly hiding behind a crate, maybe it would be wise for Ino to do the same. Near the entrance, though, there wasn't much for her to hide behind. The beeping was unfamiliar to her, as explosives came from tags or Justus, and the moment she realized what was happening, her fingers quickly moved into a simple seal. A puff of smoke, then a small log appeared where she had been.
Ino herself was on the wall directly behind from where she had been, perfectly positioned in a crouch staring down at the crate Red X had been hiding. She was glad her chakra control was still exceptional to keep her balanced on the wall like this. All that training had been beneficial after all.
"What was that?"
no subject
"Some of the most dangerous shit on the planet. Use it right, it's a near-limitless supply of energy that can take almost any form. Use it wrong, mushroom cloud."
no subject
"You know how to use it right, right?"
no subject
He looked her over. Nice outfit... very nice. He could get used to this one. "Dare I ask what WMD they gave you? Something tells me it's not gonna be a pretty ribbon."
Mostly because that's what they gave Mami.
no subject
She'd found it to be rather interesting, as well. It was resting in the left breast pocket of her chuunin vest, able to be bent easily into a smaller size for convenience. It still retained its wooden look and feel. Given the strange things she had seen at home, it hadn't surprised her.
no subject
He knew he had a bad, and offensive sense of humor. But as long as he found it funny, forget everyone else.
no subject
Who knows, maybe it was a little bit of both. People in masks weren't exactly the most well-adjusted people.
"I'm guessing your name has something to do with an animal or a philosophy, based on your mask." She could fake a horrible sense of humor, too, dude.
no subject
"Red X. Name came with the suit, after I stole it from a team of superheroes."
no subject
Ino raised an eyebrow at his revelation. He didn't even bother to change the name? "So you're confident they can't take it back from you, since you're parading around with it."
no subject
Her next question made him grin behind his mask. Oh, perfect. His favorite topic. "I'm pretty damn confident about it, yeah. They tried, over and over again, and they failed every single time."
Except for that first time when they stole the belt back, but that turned out to be a total non-issue in the end.
no subject
"Guess it wasn't that important to them if they couldn't even take down some punk."
She didn't really mean it, Red X, she was just a little cranky from her abrupt arrival.
no subject
no subject
"Really? Huh. Can't he just make a new one? It doesn't look that difficult to replicate."
no subject
He laughs, and then stocks mocking Robin's voice. "The suit was a mistake! I'm not evil! I just wanted to get to Slade!" Another laugh. "It was quite a sight. And really, it's been way more useful to him out here than gathering dust in a vault.
no subject
"He should have burned it if he thought it was a mistake."
no subject
no subject
She decided to ignore his free admission to being a thief. He could be a valuable ally if she ever ran into a vault or lock she needed opened.
no subject
"An explosion hot enough not to melt you, but to vaporize you. Turn you into a gas instead of a liquid. That's why Robin had to lock it up instead of destroy it, he couldn't risk something going wrong." Another shrug. "His loss is my gain, I guess."
no subject
Unless you were in SunaBut she did understand the implications of an explosion that could do that. The more she found out about this suit, the more dangerous it was."Then why create it in the first place if he knew it was dangerous? That seems incredibly irresponsible. He could destroy entire villages just by accident."

omg I am so sorry this is a late tag ;A;
And someone standing out in this sort of crowd was someone worth chatting to.
"Hello." He made sure not to stand too close to her when he finally made his way over, his most charming smile plastered over his face. "You expecting the war to happen any second now, or are you just lost?" There was a teasing note to his voice as he tilted his head.
never apologize!!
"A little bit of both." The corners of her lips turned up slightly, a coy smile. It wasn't flirting, really, just being friendly. "I'm looking for some people, actually."
Her teammates, mainly. She could make it through this with Shikamaru and Chouji.
:3
"Give me your friends' names. They might have been on the network." He paused. "But not everyone arrives with other people."

His lips quirked up in another smile. "Is there anything else I could help you with?"
