[1] Ramen Bowl | Friday 12th February

[kuramaless]

[He's not really looking at his communicator. It's been abandoned on the floor beside him - he'd meant to record something-- but the moment he'd thought of something to say, he'd gotten side tracked.

With his shirt up, he's staring down at his stomach, pulling a face much like a childish pout.]

Oi, K'rama. It's about time ya talk t'me yanno? I ain't heard nothin' outta ya since we got here. We're both here, so you should at least lemme know what you think about this place.

[Cue a quick prod to the centre of his stomach-- He doesn't seem convinced though. As he shouldn't be. Kurama is not with him. He knows that much.]

Are you... talking to your stomach?

Video

[kuramaless]

Huh?

[That voice makes him look up, around him, and then down at the PCD.]

What? Er, no. Not really. Well, sorta. I guess?

[He's gone, after all.]

[notsatanscamaro]

I don't think human stomachs can talk.

Video (SORRY!)

[kuramaless]

... Yeah, I think mine's hungry or somethin'!

[redhairedknight]

...You named your stomach? [At least, Erza assumes that's what he's referring to when he says "K'rama".]

[kuramaless]

[Blinkblink.]

Huh? Why would anyone name their--

[Waaaait a minute.]

... Yeah. You got a problem with that or somethin', dattebayo?

[Video]

[shendefeng]

[He... remembers this young man. Only, he seems a bit older. Hm... regardless, that is a bit troubling if he's speaking to himself like that.]

I do not think human stomachs are sentient any more than my own stomach would be.

Unless of course, there is a certain reason for it?

[Video]

[kuramaless]

[Oh man-- someone... thing.

He'll just be staring for a while, and then as if everything was perfectly normal.]

... I'm just hungry.

[It seems to be a good excuse, after all.]

Er, what're you?

voice;

[mangekyou]

[ oh.

he hadn't thought Naruto would ever come back, hadn't even considered it. yet there he was on his communicator screen, the same Naruto he was so familiar with.

except he was different, he obviously didn't remember anything. ]

Naruto.

VIDEO! >:|

[kuramaless]

[He'd know that voice anywhere-- especially now. The fact that he'd only recently seen him back home was probably the reason for his surprise, which shows obviously in his face before it dies.]

Oi, you're here too.

voice

[scatterflower]

... Who are you talking to?

Video

[kuramaless]

... Er.

Just me?

[video]

[heavenly_earth]

Naruto. [Surprise that such an arrival would have slipped by his notice quickly morphs into a frown as he looks him over] What are you doing?

[video]

[kuramaless]

[Ffff, you?]

Er, Hi Neji.

[He'll just be shoving his top down again now.]

Jus' talkin' to er-- something.

[not here] 1/2

[dungenessmaster]

[OH WHAT THE FUCK BREW]

[video] 2/2

[dungenessmaster]

You've got one solid throbbing bundle of goddamn nerve coming back to Death City, Usumaki!

video;

[thewarisover]

[If you had a penny for every post that starts this way--]

Naruto.

[Yep. More than just a little surprised.]

video;

[kuramaless]

[Talking to one's stomach? You do that often, Roy?!]

Er-- You.

[spandexisyouth]

Naruto! It is good to see you again! ...But that will not work. The talking.

[kuramaless]

[Oh no.]

I know-- they said we didn't have powers, but I guess he ain't here either.

[Video]

[grab_my_bells]

They should have told you by now--we don't have the powers we had back home. You won't find him there.

...I take it you arrived without ...anyone else. [And by that he means Sasuke and Sakura. Man, you kids really need leashes. He's got to stop joking about doing that and actually do it one of these days...]

[Video]

[kuramaless]

[Kakashi-sensei!]

Yeah! I know, they did but...

[They were just starting to get along?]

's gonna be weird

I dunno, there's a bunch of people from Konoha, right?

[video]

[lavenderglasses]

[wow. all the feelings right now. you're lucky he just had a feelings jam with yuuri and got the worst of it out of the way, because this could be so much worse.]

Can BREW just make up its mind already?

[video]

[kuramaless]

...

Er, what? Well it did, right?

voice

[hyuuga]

[electing to reply with voice, because aha... Better not to show how much she's blushing over on this end.]

N-Naruto-kun... You're here, too? [No one mentioned that to her, either.]

VIDEO, BECAUSE HE FAILS. =D

[kuramaless]

Oi, Hinata-chan?

Er, yeah. What, did you just get here too?

[video] how did i miss this?

[ink_nin]

....Naruto?

[video] becaaaaause, Sai didn't want to know!? >_>

[kuramaless]

... Oi, Sai. You're here too?

[BRB, shoving jumper back down.]

[Video]

[sayatakagi]

[Blinks.

WELLP.]

For you to act this carefree, I suppose it means you forgot this place.

[Video]

[kuramaless]

...

Forgot it? Oh, yeah-- I guess. I did.

[video]

[awokentospring]

Naruto-kun?

[Lee is pleased to see yet another familiar face, but for now his eyebrows are drawn down in worry.]

Naruto-kun, please, do not tell me...

[video]

[kuramaless]

[Fff. Oh hi Lee...]

... What about bein' here? Well, I'm here ain't I? That's a real stupid question.

[video]

[thatkindofscum]

[Oh. He knows that voice. He didn't get to know Naruto all that well before, but he knew well enough from what he had gleaned from their short interactions and things Kakashi had said. Once again, Obito put a smile on his face in an attempt to make a good impression.

At least this would probably help to cheer Itachi up.]

So, you're back, huh? Feeling strange today?

[video]

[kuramaless]

[Well, you'll have plenty of time to now!

That headband is the firs thing he'll notice, and-- you know actually take notice of it.]

Er-- Yeah.

I feel okay. Just-- er, a little weird.

voice

[weaponry]

[ ...Wow. Her life is just weird right now. Didn't Naruto go home, like, yesterday or something?

Whatever. It's too early to deal with this. ]

Well, I guess I shouldn't have believed Death City could keep you out for long.

voice

[kuramaless]

[Yeah-- it's weird enough just turning up here! Nevermind people telling him he's been here already.]

Heh-- Guess it's 'cause it knows it needs me here.

[Video]

[socialbutterfly]

... You're back.

[Video]

[kuramaless]

Er.

Yeah.

[video]

[dragneel]

Does it talk back to you?

[ Points at Naruto's stomach. ]

[video] Fffff. NOT GONNA LIE, I've been so excited about playing with a Natsuuuuuuu. =DDD

[kuramaless]

Huh?

[He takes a moment to glance down, laughing awkwardly and shoving his jacket back down before he replies.]

Ah-- only when it's real hungry, yanno? Gurgles and er-- stuff.

[ video ]

[blue_wayfinder]

[Oh, it was him. They hadn't spoken much when he'd been here last, but the last conversation they had had been memorable enough that she did recognize him...though a quick look at the other replies told her he didn't remember. And more importantly...]

...what are you doing?

[ video ]

[kuramaless]

[Blink blink. He'll just stare for a while.]

Er-- Just checkin' somethin'

[Video]

[ih8spiders]

[There are two things he's figured out from Naruto's behavior and his responses to everyone else's greetings. One is that the blond doesn't remember a single thing about his previous stay here. Two, is that seeing the other boy and realizing that he won't remember their conversations is turning out to be a lot more painful than he'd expected, despite what he told Itachi about Naruto and Sasuke getting returned possibly being a good thing.]

... What do you think about this place?

[Video]

[kuramaless]

[He's completely oblivious to those thoughts, really. Although he's given a little thought to what it was like to be here before, and what the people here must think, it's not been enough to really consider it. After all, he's had plenty of distractions.]

What do I think? Well-- I think it's kinda weird?
