003 ☆ ( 03.10 ) TEXT;

[guilds]

[ When idle, her mind would naturally wander to home and concerns or vague considerations revolving around Fiore of the guild, and today was no different. And, well, it’d be a lie to say she wasn’t mildly curious. Carefully, transferring the message over to text, she begins to type, a watchful finger for each key. ]

I’ve noticed that not many of you seem accustomed with the concept of a “guild,” but “magic” is different, right? Which brings me to my next question! ☆

What was magic like back in your world? Was it something commonplace? Reserved for certain types of people? I guess, you could say that I have time to spare and I’m really curious! I’ll be waiting for your replies--! ☆

Er. We don't have guilds, or magic-- we got clans though.

voice;

[guilds]

Clans? What were those like?

voice;

[kuramaless]

Uhm, they're like-- families, yanno?

You know Obito? He's an Uchiha, right? So-- they've got sharingans. Sometimes. Well they did.

[Oh wow. Touchy subject.]

[guilds]

Families... [ While it can't be seen, her gaze momentarily shifts downwards as an almost listless overtone seems to lace her voice. ] I see. [ Though, it soon dissipates. ]

What are sharingans? A type of magic?

[kuramaless]

Yeah. [He can tell the change in your tone there-- not that he's going to follow up on it just yet. Not knowing Lucy well enough can be to blame for that.]

Oh! It's like-- er, special eye jutsu, okay? Illusions and stuff? Like, when you think something's happenin' but it really ain't?

[guilds]

[ Lucy perks up slightly at his explanation, her tone of voice slightly more light hearted. ]

Ju...tsu. [ She pronounces it slowly. ] If it's magic that creates illusions, we have that in my world as well. It's definitely not... common, but it is do-able!

[kuramaless]

[He's glad for the change, even if he doesn't seem it.]

Yeah, that's it. All ninjas can do different kinda jutsu. It's all got t'do with chakra.

You do? It's kinda creepy.

[guilds]

So it's kind of like magic for ninja....? [ Woah, wait... a ninja.

A ninja. ]

You're a ninja!?

[guilds]

[ She can only imagine how stoked Natsu would be for this...

But regardless, she soon regains (what little) composure she had and proceeds on. ]

I can't do it myself, of course. Can you?

[kuramaless]

[Whoa whoa whoa! Okay there, lady. Back up.]

Ah-- yeah. There's a whole bunch of us here. Yanno?

[The change is unexpected, but not really surprising. There are enough people reacting like that around him back home for it to almost be normal, just not over being a ninja exactly.]

Me? Er, nope. I ain't an Uchiha. Uzumaki, actually. Yup. [See that smile? That's pride. Might as well be leaking out of him.]

We've got this special chakra.

[guilds]

A whole bunch...!? [ Wait, she may have heard about this before...

But, it doesn't make this any less shocking. ] But, I guess if if I could tell so easily, you wouldn't be a ninja, right? [ She laughs slightly at her awkward attempt at grasping at the nearest excuse. ]

Uzumaki. [ Repeating the name as a way to internalize it. ] Special chakra. Ah, is chakra like magical energy? Or is it a skill...? [ Lucy takes blind stabs as to what it may be, entertaining herself in the process. ]

[kuramaless]

Yeah yeah, lesse, there's me, Sakura-chan, Kakashi-sensei, Bushy Brows, Bushy brows sensei, Tenten, Shikamaru, Kiba, Hinata-chan, Hanabi, Neji, Obito-nii... aaaah.

[Yep a whole bunch and-- Oh, right ninja were supposed to be stealthy right?]

Haha-- Yeah. Sure. Mhm.

That's right! Uzumaki Naruto! That's me.

[He is so totally not the best person to try and explain this.]

Er, chakra's like-- well, it's everywhere, dattebayo! There's special... pipes inside you. I mean, if you're a ninja. I think. You mold chakra and then you can use to it attack and stuff. There's different seals and stuff you gotta use too.

[guilds]

There's quite a bit of people from your world, huh? [ Though, she's not on the camera, you can almost hear the smile that's attached to the words she speaks. ] But, it's nice to meet you, Naruto. [ A pause before-- ] Oh, right. My name is Lucy!

I always seem to forget about introductions.

[guilds]

[ Oh...

She tried to decipher his explanation and comes up with a single question-- ]

So you have pipes in your body?!

/so amused. I'm so sorry. xD To both of you.

[kuramaless]

Yeah. It's kinda nice, yanno? [Even if there are a few missing that he'd like to see around here... It's wishful thinking as far as he believes.]

Lucy? Ah, Hi. Yeah yeah, me too'ttebayo.

[Ah-- Wait a minute.]

Uhm. They're not like pipes. They're like--

[....]

LMFAO no, i'm sorry too... what are they doing...

[guilds]

I could imagine...! I mean, even now, I'm grateful for the friends I have in this place. [ Though, admittedly there's a lot of mixed feelings involved in this sudden revelation. But, putting that aside... ]

But, you said there were pipes....

[ She takes a minute to stop and consider other options-- ]

Rods? Sticks...?

[ Wait, none of these are making sense either. ]

NO ONE KNOWS. Muhahaha. <3

[kuramaless]

Yeah. It's real nice. [But weird. Really weird. All this different time business. Not that they were going to be discussing that. No, he had much more pressing issues, like how to explain how the hell chakra moved around the body.]

No, no it ain't like that it's kinda like. You know your reins? [... Veins, Naruto? :|]

<333

[guilds]

[ Woah, reins.... what kind of sick hobbies did this guy have? ]

Why are people riding you...!? Are we even talking about humans anymore?

[kuramaless]

[Whaaaaaat?]

What're you talkin' about'ttebayo!?

You know, there's lines in your body!? Everyone's got 'em right?!

1/2

[guilds]

You said reins!

[ Wow, she's only going by what you're telling her!! ]

Yeah, you already said that, too! Poles or whatever!

[guilds]

[ Wait, let her think about this... ]

... did you mean veins?

[kuramaless]

Not poles okay!?

[...]

Er. Yeah, that's what I said, ain't it?

[guilds]

But, you said poles!

[ Geez!!! ]

No, that's not what you said...! You said reins. The material you hold onto when riding an animal.

[kuramaless]

That's stupid, why would anyone have poles or reins in 'em?

[GEEZ. >:|]

Anyway-- It's kinda like that I guess.

[Wow, so much complication for something so simple. He's just frustrated now.]

[guilds]

That's why I was asking!

You think it made sense to me? [ Why is there someone else in this world with logic like Natsu? ]

So, they're basically like veins? And this is the source of your power?
