001 [Video!]

[believeit]

[The video shows a blond teenager wearing a metal headband, frowning at his bracelet as though silently judging it before he realizes it has finally started recording, to which he breaks out into a wide grin.]

Uzumaki Naruto, reporting in!

So if I've got this right, we're all here to help fight a war so all these weird lookin' people can get their colors and faces back, right? Then we get to go home. So what are we waiting for!

'Cause we're fighting a war at home too so I've got to get back. Oh yeah- are there any other shinobi here?

[He reaches up to tap his forehead protector.] The symbols are different for other villages, but they all wear a forehead protector like this one! This one means they're from Konoha!

And I still dunno why we can't use our own powers here, but they told me I had something called Energy Transfer, so you have to tell me what I need to do with it 'cause I want to start training right away!

[...Okay, not right away.]

Hey.. does this place have ramen?

[madcuriosity]

"Uzu-mak-ee Na-rue-toe?" Goodness what a most curious name you have! And what... what is a "she-know-bee?"

[Never mind whatever "Ko-know-ha" meant. What strange sort of words he was spouting. Alice had met many a sort in Asgard thus far, but no one spoke quite like this one did. So he was from a "leaf" village? Was that right? She couldn't quite be sure.]

And ah, it would seem for the moment, sir, that the war is in a "reprieve." [Yay for her for learning a new word Miss Hermione taught her!] So we can't really fight anything for the moment, you see?

[believeit]

A shinobi is another name for ninja! They go on missions and protect their village! Really, haven't you ever heard of one before?

[Everyone knows what shinobi are, in his world. At that news though, he visibly deflates.]

How can a war be on a break?

[integrous]

You went from one war to another, really? [ well, at least there's more people capable of fighting here then, that's good.. but still, it just seems unfair. ] Those gods could at least be a little more considerate!

[twinning]

Wait, you got a headband-? What gives!?

[That's not even what he was planning to say, but it came out before he could (re)focus.]

( TEXT )

[deductions]

Why in blazes would you need to protect your forehead?

video;

[believeit]

Yeah, and actually when I got brought here I was right in the middle of doing something really important.

[He couldn't agree more, bringing him here like this was REALLY inconsiderate! Though hey, they picked him, at least they see a strong + competent ninja when they see one!]

video

[believeit]

Only those that graduated from the Ninja Academy are allowed to wear headbands!

permavideo

[believeit]

[because come on they sent messages via hawks, what is text?]

Well why wouldn't you, y'know? Out of everywhere it'd be one of the most dangerous places to get hit with a kunai or something.

[alternia_strength]

This. This is the sort of attitude people should be having! A desire to fight, to wage war, to do battle, for this world and their own. I like you already.

[Largely because he entered rambunctiously, loudly and went straight to fighting words.]

You would have to speak to my moirail, though, for more information on that power, Naruto-human. But, more importantly...

What is ramen?

[believeit]

[Sorry Equius, he's mostly not paying attention to what you are saying because grey skin.

Horns.

Sharp teeth.

What.]

Who're you?

[alternia_strength]

I am Equius Zahhak, Strongest among my brethren and master of the construction of mechanical monstrosities, the likes of which your human eyes cannot comprehend, practitioner of the noble and august artistry known as archery, nobility of the interstellar troll empire.

[Ok, now, when most people say that, they sound pompous. Equius? He sounds pompous, only he's not puffing his chest out, looking grand or even really raising his voice.

He's just sort of saying all this like an introduction and general fact. It's a little weird.]

[believeit]

So you're saying you ain't human?

Where's Troll? [He's going to assume it's a place, not a race, sorry.]

[alternia_strength]

Of course I am not human. Such a soft, imperfect race, though they have their qualities now and again, no offense Naruto-human. I am a Troll of the Alternian Empire, an empire spanning the stars ruled by my people.

[integrous]

.. Something really important? [ What, like a big battle or whatever? She does know everything back home is supposed to be waiting for him to come back, but it's still more concerning than her own situation. ]

Related to that war?

[Video]

[5thchild]

We can't use our powers because they aren't compatible with this world. [ a very short version of it ] Instead you are given new ones.

Doesn't it bother you that you were taken from your war to fight one that didn't concern you until recently?

video - BWAHAHAHA

[holyfight]

Uhn! There's a ramen shop here! It's run by Shiki-kun!

What do you like to put in yours?

[Yes, she will recruit you Naruto, in her neverending war on Shiki's sanity]

[madcuriosity]

Oh! That's fascinating!... [A pause and then...] What might a "knee-ja" be, Mr. Na-rue-toe? I can't say I've ever heard of a "knee-ja" before just this very moment.

And I'm not sure, I don't really understand everything myself, honestly.

video - 8D

[believeit]

There is? Really?!

Miso ramen with extra pork!

[Video]

[believeit]

Of course it does. But like- if we could get back on our own, everyone would've done it already, right?

( video. )

[ambitions]

So you're a ninja, wherever you come from? Like, from the past and everything?

[ That's so cool. . . Not that he'd admit it aloud. While he might not be voicing it, it's pretty obvious from his facial expression. ]

But, uh. [ He coughs, clearing his throat. ] I know Pokétopia has ramen, don't know about the other places.

[believeit]

Oi, who're you calling imperfect?!

[believeit]

Yeah. I was fighting against the guy that declared war on the whole shinobi world. Everyone was on the battlefield, doing their beat.

[believeit]

Ninja. Neen-ja. They, uh..

[How to explain.]

Y'know how we're here to fight a war and protect this city? That's what a ninja does too. They protect their village, and fight for it.

( video. )

[believeit]

The past what? [No idea what you're talking about. But ramen, yay.]

What's Poketopia, is it a restaurant here ro something?

[madcuriosity]

You're like a knight! Well why didn't you just say so?
