[samantha_grey]

An old, brick edifice stands in front of the burnt-down ruins of a home in the hillside. Mountains rear up in all directions, covered in lush, green vegetation. Nobody comes this way anymore, but you have the sense that anything placed in the mailbox attached to this old structure will be found by someone, the only living person for whom this place still has any meaning.

OOC: Feel free to comment here if your character wishes to get in touch with Samantha Grey directly. Let us keep any such material to PG-13 or less. If you're interested in something that should be matured tagged, contact me via PM and we can discuss it.

Ah--

[Crap. He really hadn't thought about that, but it had arrived right after everyone had started talking about them again.

Not that she's helping. Talking about the fact that he would do that with anyone is pretty traumatic at the moment.]

H-Hey, shut up about stuff like that. No one's sweepin' anyone, okay!?

[samantha_grey]

Heh, nah, probably not yet. Sorry, but you're about as romantic as a rock Naruto. You know... the shelf life on teh condoms isn't enough, but the lube should still be good. You can hold onto that.

Seriously, though, you two make it so much harder for people not to think something's up with the way you react every time.

[kuramaless]

[HEY, WHAT ARE YOU IMPLYING? Wait-- no, he's not ready for that stuff anyway. DAMNIT GET OUT.]

What? I-- hey! Stop... Stop it.

Maybe if you guys didn't go on about it all the time!

[samantha_grey]

[She's laughing.] Seriously, the slightest mention and you two are both defensive. It's priceless. Fine, Naruto we both know you two aren't doing the horizontal monster mash, so I've got a question I gotta ask.

What's your type? Might help get people off your case if they knew. I know it ain't Temari. She's more my type than yours [Ignoring the 'everyone's my type' thing they're not talking about.].

[kuramaless]

[He's not laughing.

Especially not when she calls it something like the 'horizontal monster mash'. WHAT THE HELL?]

Ah--

My type?

Well-- I guess. Well, I kinda like this girl back home. Sakura-chan.

[samantha_grey]

[Lambada's just as bad, Naruto.]

So, what about her gets your stomach twisted in knots? That's what we're going for here.

[kuramaless]

[Talking about it full stop is just as bad.]

Er...

Well.

I guess she--

Well, she's uh...

[samantha_grey]

... riiiiiight. So, we grabbing Ramen so you can take a minute to figure out what you want to say before you kick my ass for sending you a basket of lube for your non-existent girlfriend?

[kuramaless]

[His face. So red.]

Ah--

What now?

I'm still mad, y'know!

[samantha_grey]

WHy do you think I said you're going to kick my ass? Ramen and drinks?

[Yeaaah... your friends. How do you get friends like this?]

[kuramaless]

...

[She is the most frustrating.]

Fine!

[samantha_grey]

[Directions incoming! It's in Heimdall district.]

Alright then. Half hour. If you're actually going to punch me, do it before we eat, got it?

[kuramaless]

[There they go.

He stares for a while... and then huffs.]

Yeah.

Well, you better be ready for it.

[samantha_grey]

[She doesn't reply, though around the time she'd agreed to, she's just leaning against the door frame of the shop, quietly waiting for him with an impish grin on her face.]

[kuramaless]

[He's off-- like a shot actually. The video stops, and he takes to the rooftops, which is a little more effort than it ever used to be.

Despite the way he comes across he's pretty good at being stealthy when he wants to be, which is why there's a kunai landing in the wall beside Samantha's head the moment he gets to the rooftop across the road from her.]

[samantha_grey]

[Ok, the kunai got a bit of a start. She still maintains some of her blase look, but she reaches over to pull it out of the wall and finger it while looking up towards the roof with a 'Really?' look printed all over her face.]

I thought you were the mature one!

[Yes. She just called you 'mature' Naruto.]

[kuramaless]

[There's a smile on his face when he sees her start like that, and he jumps down off the roof, holding out his hand to accept the kunai back.

Perhaps that's enough to pay back for the basket. If she's paying for lunch.]

Yeah well... you were scared.

[samantha_grey]

Startled. [She corrected with a smirk, handing it to him and jabbing her head towards the door.] I've died before, you know. A knife to the head's nicer than some ways to go.

[kuramaless]

Yeah well. Still surprised ya.

[He reaches out to take the kunai from her, tucking it back into the pocket on his thigh before looking up at the place they've ended up outside of.]

Y'have?

[samantha_grey]

[She nodded as she opened the door.]

It's a long story, but yeah. I've died a few times back home. Just once here... But it's... you really want to hear about this? We're about to eat.

[kuramaless]

[He steps in, holding the door open for her to come through too, and then looking back up at her.]

I dunno-- not like there's ever a good time t'talk about it. Unless you don't really wanna, y'know?

[samantha_grey]

If you want to hear about it, I can share a bit. My dad has my soul. When I die, he brings me back. It's... sort of a sick game for him, trying to drive me insane.

[kuramaless]

Oh--

Yeah, I think I remember you tellin' me about it. You know, when we were talkin' in the shop?

[He pulls a face, and manages to find a seat - sliding right into it, and leaning back against the chair.]

[samantha_grey]

Yeah. I think we did talk a little about that. [She motioned for the menus to be brought and ordered a tea to start.] It's not like I've got a death wish or anything, but after a while you don't get as freaked out about the idea of dying, not when it's happened before.

[kuramaless]

Yeah...

[He does remember, despite how it might seem. His order is for water-- mostly because he knows it's free.]

I guess that would happen. Back home people can come back, but-- they don't really come back? It's a jutsu, y'know?
