[Action: Somewhere in the village - Sakura Only]

[Taken from the battlefield, Hinata let out a gasp before she found herself waking up on the ground. She slowly stood, taking in the fact that she was wearing clothing that was decidedly not her uniform from the war. In fact, her arms and legs were sticking out of the flimsy white dress, making her feel extremely under-dressed.

As she turned around, she saw a flash of purple that seemed to remind her a little of the jacket from her normal outfit. She reached out to grab at the colorful thing and brought back a handful of lavender feathers. Suddenly, she was overcome with nausea and lightheadedness before she passed out, never noticing the familiar face of her pink-haired comrade from Konoha as the blackness took over her again.]

[Have a very confused looking hime-type, Luceti. Complete with the self-conscious blush.] E-excuse me. M-my name is Hyuuga Hinata. I have just arrived here to this village. [The camera shifts to point out her lavender wings.] If they serve no practical usage, why are they there? And am I the only one who discovered a brand on the back of their neck? They seem rather obvious.

H-Hinata-san! You are now here as well?!

[And lacking memories, the way it sounds.]

[Video]

[twinlionfists]

L-lee-san! [She is rather relieved to see her cousin's teammate, and is unable to hold it back.] Yes, I have just arrived. I trust that you are well?

I... I am well. [He says quietly, and he supposes he is. Things have definitely been rough since he learned of Neji's fate and had his trip home, but some events of the recent weeks such as Chouji's birthday have helped him to feel more adjusted at least. He's able to be himself more often.]

[niceguypose]

[But then he remembers who he's talking too and channels this new well of concern.]

BUT WHAT OF YOU, HINATA-SAN?! ARE YOU WELL?!

[Video]

[twinlionfists]

[She's not stupid. She can tell that there is something with the boy she's known since she was a child. And it doesn't take much for her to know what it is that is bothering him.]

I-I am physically well, thank you.

[Action] a bit long and rambly, sorry!

[medicalpunch]

[If Sakura can ever get her hands on who exactly it is that actually dumps them into the enclosure, she is going to wring the bastard's scrawny little neck until they howl. Or possibly their wings, that might work better.

Either way, what Hinata doesn't see is the fist speeding toward the place where she was -- and the way Sakura's eyes widen as a familiar figure in a New Feather dress pops up in her target zone.

Redirecting that massive energy she's in the middle of releasing is damned difficult, but if anyone can do it, it's Sakura; a lightning-fast redirection of her chakra has her aborting the punch, forcing the energy into her legs instead to counteract the momentum she'd built up and slamming her knuckles into the ground a few feet shy of Hinata, with suddenly much less force than anticipated.

Well, if that hadn't exactly been the training she wanted to do, whatever; she very abruptly has bigger priorities.

Like Hinata.

She moves to her side and kneels down; the sight of feathers in Hinata's unconscious fingers makes her frown. Damn it; just dumped in and already damaging her wings.

Time for a little healing; she hasn't experimented with the regrowth of lost feathers, but she can try and at least soothe some of the irritation and damage to them.]

Hinata... come on, wake up.

[systemshock]

I've been trying to see mine, but I can't get the mirrors right to see it. I just keep thinking someone's going to pull me aside and announce a price check to the whole village.

[niceguypose]

Ah... [He stops for a moment, noticing only the "physical" and he gives a nod. It could mean any number of things, but given the timeline points of all the most recent arrivals... he can't help but ponder the correct possibility.]

I am glad for your physical well-being. Have you learned anything so far, regarding the situation here?

[weaponry]

Hinata, those wings are used by some people for targets. If one if sliced off, you're pretty much incapacitated. Both is death. They're used as some sort of reminder by the Malnosso, the people who have us here, to control us in some extent. The barcodes on our neck are used for tracking, I think. [ Her tone is grave and serious. But it's followed up with a nice and sweet. ] Hello, Hinata.

[Video]

[twinlionfists]

[She wonders if Lee knows that she was there, that it was her fault that...]

Not...entirely? I-I am a little overwhelmed still.

[Video]

[twinlionfists]

H-hello? It was by chance that I caught it in the mirror. A-and what is a 'price check'?

[Action] It's more than allowed!

[twinlionfists]

[She feels the other girl's chakra before she can hear her voice. Hinata has always found Sakura's chakra warm and comforting every time they'd had the chance to assist one another. It takes a few moments before it registers in Hinata's brain that she's being helped however.

Carefully, slowly, she cracks open her eyes to see familiar pink hair and worried green eyes.]

S-sakura-san? Wh-what happened?

[Video]

[niceguypose]

[He'd never put any blame on her. But seeing Hinata again and starting to remember that time - it brings back some of the hurt.]

That is understandable. This world requires... an extreme adjustment. Please do what you can to settle your mind. And - and I shall answer any questions you may have!

[She spends a few seconds trying to gather her thoughts, trying to push the pain down so that she can focus on the conversation at hand.]

[believeit]

Hinata...?

[Oh hey, it really is her! He didn't know she was here too.]

Hey, Hinata!

[Video] 2/2

[twinlionfists]

Yes, I-I was lucky to run into Sakura-san upon my arrival. [Almost literally, as she was nearly punched by the pink-haired girl.] She has offered me a room in her apartment.

[Video]

[twinlionfists]

W-what?

[Yep, she's pretty confused.]

H-hello, Tenten-san?

[twinlionfists]

N-Naruto-kun... [She hadn't heard that he was here too. And the last time she'd seen Naruto was right when she'd heard her cousin... It's a bittersweet moment for her and she allows it to show.]

Hello.

[Action] Yay~ <3

[medicalpunch]

You got dropped right in my target zone. [The words are ruefully offered.] I'm glad I had enough time to redirect it.

[There's a lot more of 'what happened' that Hinata's going to need to hear, but at least that's a start.]

[Action] They need some CR, so more length = more potential

[twinlionfists]

[She looks around, ignoring the way the breeze was brushing over her bare arms and legs.]Where are we? This isn't the battlefield and...

And...

Where are the others?

[They weren't all...dead, were they?]

Video

[hero_of_smiles]

[He's kind of hoping she's not getting any ideas of chopping them off. It sounds like it'd be bad.]

Uh well, they do kind of serve a use. They keep you alive in this world. So, keep 'em covered when you can. They look cool, but, it's not worth it if someone wants to aim to cut it off with a sword.

[Video]

[niceguypose]

[Lee waits patiently and then listens.]

Ah... So Sakura-san has already found you. And it sounds like she has been most helpful. It is good that you have already found a place to stay. I imagine she has told you at least the basics regarding the situation here thus far.

[Action] yes good~

[medicalpunch]

This isn't the battlefield. This isn't anywhere near it -- isn't even the same world.

You're in a place called Luceti, Hinata. We've been kidnapped here. Some others are here, and some aren't.

[Yeah, the inevitable part of the New Feather arrivals where you get to sound like a crazy person.]

[Action] *hoards the SakuHina CR*

[twinlionfists]

Luceti. [The word isn't familiar to her, and the shock of what her comrade is saying has her quietly trying to process everything.] Many shinobi are being held here against their will, on another planet?

[Hinata didn't think that Sakura was crazy at all. The other girl wasn't very likely to exaggerate much and she didn't lie. So, if Sakura said something was so, it probably was.]

O-okay... And the others?

[Video]

[twinlionfists]

Yes, I was fortunate that it was Sakura-san who was in that field and not someone else. [Who knows what kind of damages she could have sustained by another person who was unable to pull their punches so effectively?] She has. She also explained that you live close by.
