[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.]

[Action] a bit long and rambly, sorry!

[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.

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.

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.

[believeit]

Hinata...?

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

Hey, Hinata!

[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.

[of_sablier]

We all have that mark on the back of our necks... as far as I can tell, everyone's is slightly different.

[accepted]

They kind of get in the way at first, but you get used to having them. You can tuck your wings under your clothes so they look less obvious if you really want.

[She blinks. Wow, it's almost like Luceti can't get enough of their village. It keeps bringing people in.]

Oh, Hinata. You're back.

[generalflirt]

Oh snap, Hinata too...

[That is whispered to himself. But it is whispered after he clicked the record button, so it's entirely possible he meant people to hear that]

[endgames]

Oh. Hinata now, too.

[Managing to sound nonchalant about this. People from home are just falling out of the sky every two months. After nearly three years, you start getting used to it. 8|a]

We all have them, yeah. I have my theories about the practical use of it all, though none of it's anything we'd be constantly aware of.

[halflived]

No, they are pretty obvious, but compared to dealing with wings sticking out of your back constantly I think people forget about them.

[Still a very unpleasant sight in the mirror, though. And sometimes itchy.]

[keepitcanine]

[It takes him awhile, since he doesn't bother to check his journal all that often because what's the point? But eventually he opens the journal. People on his side coming and going don't surprise him anymore, but Hinata's presence does make him grin some behind the journal.]

Whoa, hey, you're back, huh?

[There might be some happy barking in the background.]

[ Voice ]

[lastsmoke]

Ah, Hinata, welcome back. [ Though she doesn't seem to remember the last time she was here...so! ] Don't worry too much about the wings. They're a little inconvenient, but once you get used to them you'll be alright.
