[[OOC: BACKDATED to just after the Statue Curse lifts.
brownie points to those who recognise the quote in the subject :3]]

That was... a lot like being back home.

Oh, we have a lot of visitors again! Nice to meet you all!
Make sure you stay out of that pumpkin patch, if it's still there...

Maybe Kakashi-kun will be here again. Or... maybe Obito-kun...


I tried to ask this before, but I was cursed to write everything as letters so it got a bit lost.
I actually don't think I've ever written a letter before...

I'd like a job very much, if anyone needs help somewhere. I have basic shinobi training and experience as a field medic, but it doesn't have to have anything to do with that. I'd be just as happy to cook or clean, or whatever you need.


[[Ooc: hit it with your best shot X3 - Obito stopped by tho, so please don't discuss any HORRIBLE DEATHS CAUSED BY HUGE ROCKS in public posts :D ]]

Dear City;

I hope all of you are well, especially after that horrible cannibal curse. Even though people came back to life, that seemed a particularly cruel idea of the Deities'.

I've heard others than me wonder about the sense in bringing all of us to the City and inflicting all these curses and things upon us. Do you know if anyone has tried, or is trying to, find out what makes the City work, dear City? I think someone went to the clock tower lately - it's that sort of thing I'm thinking of. Does anybody know anything?

Speaking of curses, I'd like to apologise to everyone I interrupted during that odd one about a week ago. Especially you, dear Alphonse-san - I think that's your name? If you're reading this, I don't really think my sensei or Kakashi-kun are the most awesome in the world. Well, to me they are, but not necessarily to you! But I still think it was nice meeting you!

Finally, is any place looking for employees?
I realise it might be a problem that I'm only thirteen years old - I will be fourteen next month, though! - but I'd love any job you need me for.
I have basic shinobi training and special medical training, and several years of experience as a hospital and field medic. But it doesn't have to have anything to do with that, I'd be happy to work anywhere and with anything where I could be of use.

I hope the best for everyone in the future.
Yours sincerely,
Rin.

[Ooc: Why yes, you guessed it, she's got the Dear John curse. And I'm baaack in busineeeesss <o/ edit: screw you html >.<]

P- people are killing and eating each other!

We've got to do something!

[Rin's on her bed, curled up with a large orange cat which, for once, is completely still. As she speaks to the camera, she does her very best not to cry.]


To everyone who knows Obito-kun... I'm sorry, but he's gone home.

[She looks about to say something more, but then reaches out and switches off the video feed.]

My friend Obito-kun thinks the reason we were brought to this City is to get a chance to reflect upon our lives at home.
At least, that's how I understand him. I'm not always sure I get all of his ideas.
He thinks we're supposed to go back and use what we've learnt here to change things that might go wrong.

He also said that we could all have any number of possible realities existing simultaneously. As in, I'm here in my reality, but back home in Konoha, there's another me doing whatever I do there. Maybe there's one reality that is the "best" one; I don't think so. I just think we have to do the best we can with the possibilities and abilities that we have.

Sometimes I want to believe Obito-kun, and other times I just think that this City exists for the cruel amusement of its Deities. Other people have written much the same thing before me, I know.

Of course I can understand about needing to put criminals in prison. What I don't understand is the need to torture them. Surely the Deities must be able to see what is in our heads anyway?
And I sincerely hope everyone was out of there before the prison exploded.
I don't know. It just seems so pointless sometimes, even worse than the war.

The curses, well. Some are very bad, others just odd. At least we know that they will be over.
But leaving...

I'm glad, even grateful to the City I suppose, that I got to meet the people I have met here. But every day I'm reminded that one day I'll wake up and they'll be gone; especially when one of them goes home. And I know it's selfish, but that's how it is.

He took me on a date. My first date ever; even if it was just as friends. And I probably won't even see him again.

...I wonder... If Kakashi-kun were here... if we'd get to know each other, all of us? I sometimes wonder if I ever really knew him, back home. I got the feeling there were a lot of things he wasn't telling us.
It was good seeing him as an adult, even if it was just for a day, and even if I still got the feeling that he was keeping things from me.

If he was here, like I knew him.... would he maybe ask me on a date?

....

I don't even know if I'd say yes.

[[OOC: yes, that elephant in the corner spurs Rin to deliver a tl:dr entry of her very own. Technically only the last part of it is elephantine, but, well, she needed some things off her chest, and what could be better than delivering to the whole network in a bout of curse-inspired public soul-searching? No, that's what I thought ;)]]

Rin's communications device, as City communication devices are wont to do, switches on randomly as it is dropped to the ground. The camera shows a side view of the Square, where there appears to be some disturbance as people are pushing to either get away from or get a look at... something.

Woah! - Sorry, I didn't mean to - oh! Sorry, I just dropped my - wah!

The commotion clears, and the device is picked up.

Well, you look like you're still working.

Rin clears her throat and turns the device over in her hands so that she appears on the video as she continues her outer monologue:




Seems to be recording...
What on Earth is wrong with my voice? I hope I'm not catching a cold.


[[OOC: Dun dun dunnn!!! As The Change runs rampant in the city, Rin has switched bodies with one Haruka Tenoh,  because both muns are crazy enablers xD. Entry is fore-dated to 5:36 PM EST because Rin-mun lives in Denmark and that's half past one in the morning for me D: As usual, I might miss tags tonight because I have to go to bed, but I will happily tag back tomorrow <3 ]]

I've been thinking a lot about something.
Someone told me that while life isn't fair, Death always is.

I have to apologise to the person who told me this, but I really don't think this is true.

I've seen several people ask everyone on the Network about things they were wondering about, so now I thought I'd try:

Do you think it's always fair when somebody dies? That no matter what, they go because their time has come?

[Due to the great and mysterious powers of the Office Curse, Rin and Obito feel compelled to talk to Rin’s device as if it were a camera and give an update on how their day as interns at Konoha Inc. has been going. In the Interns’ Office (right next to the coffee machine), Obito is sat casually in a chair, looking unkempt and wearing an orange comedy tie.]

 I sort of slept in this morning. I didn't mean to! But there was this dog barking outside my window and when I went to see what he wanted, he led me to the park and started digging and I thought there might be treasure. But, nope, no treasure. Just a bone. And a lot of mud. So yeah, late. Missed the orientation meeting. I don't think anyone's noticed so far though.

I didn't do very well at the application process, but my family knew someone here so...
[Turns to Rin.] Did your family know someone here too?

Rin is dressed more smartly, but is doing her best not to drop a huge stack of papers all over the floor.

 Oops! Oh, shoot! Er, no, not really. I just sent in my application and the forms to Miss Yamanaka and some days later I got an interview, which must have gone quite well since they decided to hire me.

She smiles apologetically at Obito and then at the camera.

 I’m sorry you didn’t find any treasure there, Obito.

 I thought I was going to get the chance to do loads of big business things. But all I've done is make coffee. Coffee, coffee, coffee. Have they given you any good stuff?

 Rin brandishes an undoubtedly important document from the stack on her lap. The astute eye will notice lewd drawings and phone numbers for take-out ramen restaurants doodled in the margins.

Well, Mr. Uzumaki gave me this to copy. He did also ask me to come to his office later because he wanted to, er, “look over my credentials”, I think he said.

[[OOC: I think I fixed the HTML now << >> << Also: post is viewable to ALL NETWORK.]]

There are so many new people here!
Many of them seem quite strange... Someone shouted "BELIEVE IT!" at me when I went down the corner store...

Is this a curse?


[[OoC: Fourth wall, go, throw anything at her but PLS DON'T TALK ABOUT OBITO DYING IN PUBLIC BECAUSE HE DOESN'T KNOW YET IC. <33 - private is all good tho ^^]]

It's such nice weather today!
A shame to stay indoors really...

I see that a lot of people are going to the beach. I'd like to go too, does anybody want to come with me?
Uta-san, maybe you would?

I hope everyone got over that strange curse yesterday all right.


[Ooc: this post brought to you by the current heat-wave in teh Denmarkz x3 EDIT: because I'm a forgetful old fop and because my html sucks.]

...no, get off! Shoo!
Excuse me? Does anyone happen to know why I woke up in a dress...
_{I don't even own a dress, maybe it's Sakura-san's... No, surely not with this many frills...}
...and whenever I try and take it off, my team-mate's cat and all these birds put it back on? This...this is a curse, right?
_{...oh gods, they want to sing again...}


[[edit edit: g'day again, backdate cool :3]]

I've been in the City for nearly two weeks now. It feels both like much longer and much shorter.
I 've seen a lot of people complain, but I quite like it here! I've met so many nice people, although of course I miss everyone at home...

Oh! Does anyone know what happens back home, in our home worlds, when we come here to the City? Can we "go missing" there?
I met someone here that I know and... he was never missing from home, so I guess it's possible for those back home not to notice when someone comes here, but I was just thinking that the opposite could also be the case.

Oh, I'm sorry for asking so much, but everyone seems to know much more than me!
Does anyone know where you can buy a gun, how much it costs, and is it only available at a specific clearance level?

---hello? Is this right?

[There is a muted reply from someone in the background.]

Right.

…

I'm Rin...

*deep breath*

Rin, a shinobi of Konoha of Chuunin rank.

(mutters to herself) If anyone knows what that means...

...

(louder) Requesting pickup at... The Temple and hot springs?
