soul_campaign | 13 February, afternoon ☯ video

[The feed opens to show a possibly somewhat familiar room, for those that may have seen Hanabi's room at some point. Then it shifts to show Hinata, it may be a little off and focus more on the room, but she's still learning. Her eyes and features may be even recognizable.]

Um, this... Hm. Oh! Um, I-I suppose it is working. [She does her best to smile. This is only slightly weird.]

I...I've seen others do this, so I figured...it might be best to as well. My name is Hyuuga Hinata, and I'm one of the...new arrivals, I suppose. A Weapon, if that is a bit more helpful. Um, though really... My cousin and younger sister are here, and have been a while. Neji and Hanabi. I-I know some of you probably know them, but um... [She worries her lower lip and looks away. This is harder than she thought, and she considers filtering it from them. But she didn't want them to find out she did that either.]

Um, I...I guess I just wanted to thank everyone...who have kept an eye on them. [She knows how difficult they can be at times.] So, um, thank you.

[Slowly starting to calm down and not hyperventilate herself into a faint.]

That... It doesn't seem like a good thing to joke about though. An-and for your partner to want to...try it. Especially if he already wields you...with strange objects.

[No wait. Blushing darkly again at that sort of compliment?]

An-and, um... Thanks, I-I guess?

[He laughs.]

You're welcome! It's really less of a problem then it sounds, all you need to do is to smack whoever approaches you about it over the head. There seem to be more Meisters than Weapons here so you're the one who has what they want.

[Hinata? Hitting someone outside of training or battle? Pfft.]

Um, I-I hope it...won't come to that. But I will keep that...method in mind. I, um, hadn't noticed that there were more Meisters, but I also haven't been looking too closely.

[Hey, it's the silent and nice ones that you have to watch out for as far as he knows! ;)]

Ah, it's not very obvious. I only noticed it because I kept an eye open during the morning training and the like.

Hm... I'll have to check that out during morning training as well. I suppose it's not all that surprising though.

You think so? Most seem to assume that there is an even ratio of Meisters and Weapons.

I-I don't quite think so.. While it would be nice, nothing ever quite works out that evenly. Unless it is very much on purpose.

That's true. [He agrees with an expression that is wearily amused.] Nothing ever works out that nicely.

Do you have experience with things like this? Fighting?

But it would be nice, though...if it did. Some things would be easier.

[She pauses for a moment to consider how to answer...]

Um, yes. I'm a...ninja. I've been training for years. Um, what about you? Do you have experience as well?

For years... That's very impressive. I'm a demon of the fighter class. I have been trained to be a warrior my whole live although I have only recently started to get any real experience.

That's impressive, too.. It takes quite a bit to keep training and learning, especially when it comes to fighting. And, um, if the training was good, then...combat experience shouldn't be too different.

It's not that bad. [His tone turns a bit more subdued.] But nothing you do can prepare you for a civil war.

Well, I guess that's the point of having one.

[Her tone almost matches his at the mention of war. That's some of her freshest memories.]

No...nothing ever prepares anyone for war. Except for war, I suppose.

Yes. But that can wait for a little bit longer while we get you settled here, right? Just leave the worrying to others for a while, getting tossing into this is already enough for a chore.

What kind of ice cream do you like?

Um, I-I suppose... I suppose it can wait a little while. [Though really, she can only do that for a few days. She can't not do something.

But wow. That's a question she wasn't expecting. She blushes.]

I, um.. I like really any kind of ice cream. So long as it tastes good, I guess.

'As long as it tastes good'~, huh? I see you know how to give a guy a challenge!

[So...confused. She can honestly say that's the very first time anyone has said something like that to her.

Just...excuse her.]

Um, I'm sorry... I-I didn't mean to. I can give a flavor if...if it'll help.

[All her fumbling makes him laugh heartily. Gesturing that he didn't mean it that way, it takes him a bit to calm down again.]

Ahaha, sorry~! I though I could treat you to one since we're friends of friends and another friend of mine keeps swearing that sweets are a good way to calm down and be happy again. You don't have to go with me or tell me anything at all if you don't feel like it.

[She blushes and frowns (though it comes off more as a pout) while he laughs. Failing at social things is totally not her fault. Mostly.]

N-No, I... If you really don't mind, um, I think it would be nice to go. And it's very nice of you to offer, too.

[He perks up, meaning it genuinely this time. If she is anything like her sister then he wants to know more about her and to know her on his side.]

It'd be my pleasure. You don't have to decide on anything in advance either, just take a look at what they're offering and make a pick then and there, I'll pay. When would be a good time for you?

Um, I...I don't really have anything important that I'm doing. So...any time that's good for you, works for me too.

[And this is why most don't ask her to make decisions. Because she doesn't really.]

Great! I work every day from 2pm until 6am, so any early afternoon is good for me. How about you?

That works just fine for me. I really don't have anything planned for the next few days, so.. If it really wouldn't be too much trouble. [Especially with those hours.]

It isn't.

All right, then.. [She smiles.]

Just, um, what day would you like to do it?
