[blondejokes]

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.

The thief shrugged. "Xenothium? Yeah." He held out his hand, and all three daggers vanished in a puff of red smoke. Only one dagger reappeared in his hand, which he then clipped to his belt. "These things? Still working on that."

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.

[blondejokes]

Ino scoffed. As if she'd choose a ribbon. She shook her head. "I chose a bow."

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.

[umadrobin]

"A bow, huh?" he asked. "I take it it's not the kind you put in your hair." He leaned against a nearby wall, folding his arms over his chest. "So what's your name? Christina? Brittany? Maybe Miley?"

He knew he had a bad, and offensive sense of humor. But as long as he found it funny, forget everyone else.

"Yamanaka Ino." For your information, the bitchy undertone to her reply. She crossed her arms, adjusting her weight to her left leg. This guy was either kind of an asshole or he was just really bad at socializing with people.

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.

[umadrobin]

"Ah. Another Japanese name. The Initiative has a real hard-on for that," he responds, looking at the back of his wrist as if he were already bored. At her next question, he just shrugged.

"Red X. Name came with the suit, after I stole it from a team of superheroes."

[blondejokes]

"Japanese?" She scowled at the foreign term. "I'm from Konoha."

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."

[umadrobin]

"Never heard of it."

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.

[blondejokes]

Arrogance was something she was used to in Konoha. Kiba definitely had enough to share with the rest of the Konoha 11. This made Ino roll her eyes and scoff.

"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.

[umadrobin]

It would be more offensive if he didn't know it wasn't true at all. Oh, if only she had met Robin. "You kidding? Robin's almost in tears every time he sees the suit." Or at least, it certainly seems like it. He's more the 'fly into an almost un-hero-like rage' type.

[blondejokes]

Somehow, Ino doesn't believe that. The suit doesn't look like anything to cry over; it looks like a prototype, if anything. Something more practical than stylish, and not enough of either to really cry over.

"Really? Huh. Can't he just make a new one? It doesn't look that difficult to replicate."

[umadrobin]

"It's a little bit more personal than that to him. This suit almost got his friends killed, while he was wearing it."

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.

[blondejokes]

Sheesh, that was a little cruel. She shook her head slightly and flipped her head to the side, her bangs moving away then resting back in their original position.

"He should have burned it if he thought it was a mistake."

[umadrobin]

"Too dangerous. Would have set off a nuclear explosion 'cause of what the suit's fueled by," he answered, shrugging, and leaning against a nearby support beam. "About the only thing he could do is seal it in a vault. But I've never met a vault I couldn't break into."

[blondejokes]

"A nuclear explosion? What's that?" She was honestly confused about that. If shinobi had access to nuclear weapons, wars would have been fought much differently. But, as it were, that was unknown in her world. Explosion she knew, naturally, and that was bad.

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.

[umadrobin]

Was she serious? Well... maybe she's from a world where nuclear science hasn't been discovered yet. "I'll give you a hint. It's what the sun is." Well... sort of. Nuclear fission isn't the same as nuclear fusion, but it's something she'd understand.

"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."

[blondejokes]

That was nothing at all like the sun. The sun was hot, but not hot enough to turn somebody into a gas or a liquid. Unless you were in Suna But 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."

[umadrobin]

"I dunno. Why not just ask him if he gets here?" he asks, grinning behind his mask. "Be sure to ask him how much of a 'mistake' it was."

[blondejokes]

"I'm sure I'd make a great first impression," she scoffs. She wonders what the likelihood of him showing up would be, though; or of anybody from the same world showing up. Random arrivals was what she had gotten so far.

[umadrobin]

"Mention 'Slade' when you do. He loves that." Meanwhile, he thinks he just found a new person to pick on. He's been needing one of those, ever since Jack Spicer left. Red X was losing his mind from lack of trolling victims.
