warnings. none for now

You’re not sure how it happened.

A minute ago, you had somewhere to go, someplace to be. Maybe something important to do, or maybe you were just going out to buy groceries. Whatever it was, it doesn’t matter anymore.

You’re in some kind of transport -- a shuttle, given the turbulence and the sounds outside. You’re surrounded by strangers, some of whom might not even be the same species you are. There’s no point in asking. They don’t know how they got here either. The cockpit’s blocked off, like someone forgot to put in a door, and not even a glance at your omni-tool -- a holographic interface accessible by merely tapping the sensor on your left arm -- is any help.

You’ve only got a minute or so before the shuttle starts descending. There aren’t any windows -- this doesn’t look like a shuttle meant for long trips. When it finally touches down, the doors open automatically.

Before you are landing pads, abandoned equipment scattered about. There are other shuttles landing, and whether you like it or not, you’re going to have to get off before yours dumps you out the door. Turn around, and you’re met with a hazy skyline, only half the buildings seem to be coming from above.

Welcome to Omega.

[She knows freaking out won't do any good. It didn't the last time, but she can't help looking around a bit wild-eyed upon first stepping off the shuttle. It's already full of people, with expressions that range from confusion to awe. As for Ino, she looks a bit tired. Exhausted. And then there's worry despite knowing it's for naught.

Time stands still in her world while she's off on these unprecedented vacations, if you could call it that. Chouji was still saved, Shikamaru was still holding the Ten-Tails at bay. The whole army was caught in a metaphorical time pause while she was out here in space.

This doesn't look anything like Thor though, which confuses her. But she doesn't see any of those vogons either, demanding her to fill in paperwork and giving her towels. That's the plus side, she supposed. If there was one. But who knew what these guys would want instead. This had to be Thor though, right? Unless this was some other space station like the Sif that had visited and she had been placed here instead. Judging by her surroundings, she thinks she'd rather be on Thor, if she had to be on a station at all.

And that was saying something.

After finally figuring out how to use her new accessory, the omni-tool (tacky piece of jewelry that it is), she looks up ways to transfer to the SS Thor. It takes some time --her countenance finally showing some of the freaking out, similar to her first visit on the Thor--- and in the middle of all the chaos of new arrivals Ino's voice rings out, loud and clear;]

It doesn't exist?! What the heck is THAT supposed to mean!

[It's not her voice that leads him to her, though when she's loud like that, any of their friends could pick her out of a crowd. He's been looking for someone familiar since the moment he stumbled off of that strange box thing. Immediately he picked up a faint chakra signature, and that's what led him to her.

It's also what made him head straight for her, not even noticing the strange surroundings or people around him.

He catches a glimpse of blonde hair and then sees who's chakra he's been tracking. Yeah, it kinda felt like the Yamanaka clan. He doesn't see anybody else around, but she might know where everyone is.]

Hey, hey, where's everybody else?

[For a fleeting moment, Ino is glad she doesn't have her Guide for Naruto to break again. Was the omni-tool breakable?

Then she blinks at Naruto with wide eyes before smiling. An actual familiar face! Her hand waves above her head until he gets close.]

Naruto!! Is it good to see you here!

[No need to lament that he's not on the battlefield with everyone else because of the time pause. She's just glad to see someone she knows, that she isn't completely alone on this new station. Though now she has to wonder if he forgot Thor all over again. What a total pain. Her hands plant on his shoulders and her expression turns grim.]

First, you have to tell me if you remember anything about being on a space station called the SS Thor.

[And also to make sure she's not completely crazy for thinking it. The screen said it didn't exist but she CAN'T believe she dreamed all that up. Besides, she had pinched herself the first time. And as crazy as the happenings on that ship could be, it WAS real. Somehow, it was.

It had to be.]

Eh?

[Well, it's good to see her too especially since he doesn't recognize anyone else, but he's a bit confused now. He scratches his cheek as he thinks and tries to remember if he's ever heard that word. Nope. What the hell is a space station?]

Nope. Now c'mon, we've gotta get back, y'know.

[How they ever left is anybody's guess, but he knows they shouldn't be here right now when the Obito, Madara, and the Ten-Tails are still a threat.]

Everybody's probably lookin' for us! C'mon!

[So he turns to go and... blinks before turning back around.]

Which way...?

[Ino hasn't moved from her spot, but now her arms are folded across her chest. Naruto didn't remember either and there probably wasn't anybody else that remembered the Thor unless she talked to every single one of them. She might have to do just that because she knows she didn't just think that place up in a hallucination. If she did...

Did that mean that Obito had won and she was stuck in some genjutsu? No, she went back and the war had started. Ugh! This was way too confusing and it's pissing her off. Poor Naruto is going to be the target to that anger.]

Nobody is looking for us! We're stuck here!

[He glances over his shoulder at her, his eyebrow raising a bit at that. Nobody is looking for them? Of course they are! Nobody is just going to disappear from the battlefield and not be looked for. Naruto disappearing is going to be especially noticed considering he was pretty much the target.]

Don't say crazy stuff like that. We're not stuck. We got here somehow, and all we gotta do is go back the same way. Geez.

It's not crazy, and we ARE stuck. Just try and ask to go back.

[There is a long suffering sigh because she knew Naruto wasn't going to get it especially because he doesn't remember. Doesn't remember a thing and that's what's especially irritating too. She had already explained once before and she really didn't want to go through it again. Naruto just didn't get things easily and she had a hunch he didn't get it the first time she had to explain.]

For crying out loud!! Why does everything have to be so difficult!

[He's just going to whip around, hands on his hips as he looks at her with a slightly annoyed look.]

It's difficult 'cos all you're doin' is sittin' there talking about it!

[Yeah, he's all about actions over words now, Ino. Besides, there's a sense of urgency. They've already wasted too much time, and he has to get back to stop Obito and protect everybody else. Ino needs to get back with him because she's a valuable member of the army too.]

No, that's not it! Aaah, geez!

[While she had been excited to see him now she wonders why the hell it has to be Naruto. A Naruto that doesn't remember anything and was going to try and go back until he got it through his thick, stubborn skull that there wasn't a way to go back at will. It was a random thing that nobody had control over.]

All we can do is talk about it because there isn't a way to go home! None! Don't you get it? You can try all you want but nothing is going to change that! We're stuck here until something else decides to take us back or onto a new ship like before!

[A few deep, angry breaths and she calms down enough to look mildly concerned and weary now. That sort of information is never easy to take in and it definitely wasn't for her the first time. So she waits for his reaction.

If he had questions, she would try to answer at least.]

['Stubborn' is an understatement. He just stares at her for a moment and almost looks like he might ask her some questions, but then quickly clasps his hands together. There's a puff of smoke and several clones hopping off in all directions with Naruto still standing there in front of Ino.]

Stuck or not, I'll find a way back. What you don't get is there's no way I can't try, Ino, not when I promised not to fail.

[There's a it of staring, and frustration, and sadness because Naruto was going to fail no matter how hard he tries, and finally Ino just...sighs.

He wouldn't fail the army though when the time came to come back. She's sure of it.]

Just don't get too upset when you realize I was right.

[Naruto just waves a hand at her. He doesn't look too concerned about it. There's a way back, he knows it, and he'll find it. He'd go himself right now, but he's not going to leave the one person he recognizes. Besides, his clones are more than capable of doing pretty much anything he needed to do by themselves.]

What're you playin' with on your arm?

[Just like changing the subject when they were talking about Sasuke after the fight with Pein.]

[Except this subject wasn't going to make her cry.

She blinks at the change and then looks down at it, the screen is still up with lists of all the space stations in the known galaxy. Then maybe Thor was in a different galaxy and it was just impossible to transfer until it was back in this one. Right, makes sense. Why would they say it didn't exist?

Well, back to the question at hand before she released her frustration on Naruto again.]

I don't know what it's called but you have one too.

[Points at it and then leans over to press the button that activated hers. Have an orange screen, Naruto. Your favorite color. Funnily enough, it's Ino's too.]

[He jumps and starts waving his arm a bit. The orange screen just stays because omni-tools.]

HEY...! It's... whoa, the hell is this? IT'S...!

[Now he's lifting his arm and looking under the screen and at all angles to it and then passing his other hand through it repeatedly.]

No, really... what is it?

[She dodges his waving around and just being dumb]

Would you calm down! You're going to hit someone!

[Well, Ino can't say she didn't do that too, she was just more...graceful about it all. Less violent. She's more used to this sort of thing anyway from being on the Thor and all its technological advancements.]

It's a communication device...I think. I was using it to look for something but it seems like it has a lot of functions. Here, I'll try and contact you.

[After looking for his name, she's typing a message to him. It's some hanakotoba because Ino.

Send.]

Edited 2013-02-04 04:37 (UTC)

[Beep goes his omni-tool. He stops flailing and actually stares at it, and it's now that he realizes it has words and shit and pictures on here. So it's a communication device? It's way different from the walkie-talkies back home.]

Flowers?

[He taps on some of the keys and then taps out his own message, but since he doesn't really know how to send the message, it just blinks on his own screen:

ramen ]

[Since he won't show her she'll move over, right next to his side and peer at what he wrote.]

Ramen?

[He just eyes her and ignores the fact that she seems annoyed at what he wrote because it didn't go to her orange-arm-walkie-talkie-book thing.]

Why didn't it go to yours?

You have to press send.

[But don't send it to her she doesn't want your ramen message. There's a forlorn sigh and she finally moves back into her own personal space.]

I wish you would remember something. It would make this a lot easier if you did. Not just because I don't have to explain it all to you, but then I would know I'm not completely insane.

[Because the possibility remains that she really did just imagine it all...]

Edited 2013-02-04 04:59 (UTC)

[He presses 'send' anyways because he wants to make sure it works. There's a beep at Ino's omni-tool, and he smiles in triumph even as she talks about being insane.]

Eh? You say somethin'?

[Can she throttle the hero of her village and get away with it?

But she just groans to herself. Really, anybody else would be okay too. She doesn't know if she can handle Naruto without some help. He's too much.]

Nevermind.

[Oh, good. She didn't say anything important. Then he's just going to type something else on his little toy and send it to her again.

hi ino it's naruto can you read this? ]

[What? A message? Naruto had already sent her that stupid ramen one. She opens it up with a little difficulty and more than enough curiosity. Still getting used to this thing.

And when she does--] ...Geez.

Yes, Naruto. I can read it.

[That makes snicker and start playing around with it more, getting out of the message screen and looking at the other options. Sure, he has no clue what any of it means, but it's all kind of cool and fun to play around with.

And even though it looks like he's not paying attention to anything except the omni-tool while he types on it, he chirps: ]

You shouldn't worry so much. We'll figure out a way outta here and be home in no time. Besides, it's not like we're alone or anything, y'know.

[At least she knows this is really Naruto. That had been pretty similar to what he had said before.

Yeah, alone. That's what Ino worried about the most. As annoying and intense as Naruto could be, she was honestly glad she wasn't all by herself for this.

So while she would regularly tell him to stop ignoring her, she doesn't this time and just lets him play with his new toy.]

Right!!

Just don't get too distracted with that thing or you're never going to get anything done.
