Sabaku no Temari | 01 | [In Person]

[Standing from the bed, she looked around with no small amount of disdain on her features. Pink walls with flower decals that looked like they were sprouting from the green carpeted floor, whoever decorated this room wasn't very creative.

This looked like a child’s room, the toys in the corner attesting to the fact that a young girl lived here, the bed didn’t match it though. The bed was clearly an adult’s bed, far larger than any young child would need. Sighing softly, she picked up the device from the bed, sticking the purple communicating device in her sash. She couldn’t wait here all day, she needed to either find her brothers or scout the location and work out an escape plan. Grabbing her fan from the bed, she held the large weapon in her hand, silently preparing herself for anything she’d encounter.

Setting her hand on the door knob, she slowly opened the door, peeking out once it was open a little further than an inch. Not seeing anything, she finished opening the door, her eyes drawn to the plaque…that was her name…Looking back at the room, she shuddered as she realized it was decorated for her.]

Just who do these people think they’re dealing with?

[They were obviously stupid, the ridiculous decorations proof enough of that. She was a trained killer, not a four year old.

Shaking her head, she checked for trip wires. Seeing nothing, she stepped out in the hall, walking softly as she looked for a door to the outside…knowing her brothers, that would be the first place they'd go if he woke up here like her…]

[Having recently woken up from a month long nap, Light had been understandably quite ravenous. Returning from a meal in the kitchen, Light stopped long enough to watch the new-comers movements. The size of the fan is something that comes as a surprise to him; it didn't seem particularly functional to have one that large, but he's since learned that nothing at the Manor was really what it seemed. It isn't clear just yet if the item is a weapon or an merely an accessory, perhaps both, but she has at least piqued Light's curiosity.]

I don't suppose anyone has explained what's going on to you yet, have they... Miss?

[What would surprise Light more is how heavy the weapon is, yet she's able to move near fluidly, the weight hardly being acknowledged. Moving through the halls, she pauses as she sees Light. Torn between wanting to attack him and hear what he had to say; She knew what Baki would say though. Hear the boy out and work out an escape though what knowledge she gains.

Sighing softly in agitation, she lets the butt of the fan hit the ground, her hand resting on the top, ready to attack at the slightest inclination. This was as unarmed as she'd let herself get, something about this place just set her on edge.]

Does it look like they have? Explain the situation.

[Her tone was perhaps a bit harsher than she intended, the stress getting to her more than she would have liked. She needed to get out of here and find her teammates. Until that was accomplished, she would be hesitant to relax.]

[Light raises an eyebrow at this. He's used to some of the more brusque inhabitants here, but the attitude coming from this girl puts him off just enough that he considers being slightly difficult for the hell of it. On the other hand, if this one isn't wasting time with pleasantries, it's most likely because she believes she can beat it out of him... which, yes, would properly explain the fan- or battering ram disguised as a fan, more appropriately. Either that or she was severely lacking in subtlety. Perhaps a combination of both. Either way, Light couldn't really hold it against her. He hadn't exactly been polite when he first arrived here. With a sigh that suggests he's done this far too many times, he continues in a neutral tone.]

You've been brought here to the Manor by someone we call the Author. The details of how she's able to do this haven't been elucidated as of yet, but there's no way of escaping this place. I'd suggest you relax and acclimate.

Maybe you can't escape~.

[Her arrogance would be her downfall some day, but not today. No, for today, she'd prove him wrong. She couldn't feel any chakra coming from him, he was just a civilian, no wonder he hadn't been able to find an escape yet.

Still, perhaps he could prove to be of some help. Just because he was a civilian didn't mean he might not know what the strange thing on her pillow was. Reaching into her sash, she pulled out the blackberry, holding it out to the boy.]

This rock was on the pillow when I woke up.

[Offering no other explanation, she looked at him expectantly, waiting for his explanation.]

[The condescending inflection in her tone isn't one that goes by unnoticed. But despite his irritation, Light bites back a comment of his own. Females ultimately aren't worth the rise. He shrugs casually.]

That may be so, but I'm not the only one trapped here. Nobody has been able to escape. [And you won't either.]

Rock? [He raises an eyebrow, then laughs good-naturedly. Aaaah, acceptable patronizing displays.] That's a phone. ...I suppose they don't have those where you're from? They're rather convenient. Easy to use too. It shouldn't be a problem for someone as [apparently] bright as you to learn how they work.

Then I suppose I'll be the first then. There's no shame in it~ You're merely a civilian, it's not really expected for you to be able to do such things.

[It wasn't meant to be an insult, just fact. He was a civilian...he was weak. How could anyone expect him to understand how to escape containment?

Frowning as he didn't take it from her, she moved closer. This wasn't a phone. They weren't portable like this...he was making fun of her, that had to be it.]

If it's so easy, then show me how it works~

[Grinning, she waited for him to fail.]

[ Civilian? He gives a very casual side glance at the name plaque on her door. Sabaku no Temari Temari of the Desert. It's a strange title, and perhaps one that is supposed to sound intimidating, but Light remains distinctly unimpressed. Additionally, given her attitude? Light would actually enjoy watching her fail. In fact, hastening the process by setting her up for it becomes an increasingly attractive option. ]

Ha, ha. Maybe so. I'm certainly not one of the more powerful people here. [ At least not in that sense. Light's abilities stem from the mind. ] But if you think you can succeed where others have failed... [ He trails off here, looking somewhat reluctant to continue. ]

Ah, but first the phone, right? [ He finally takes the phone out of Temari's hand, and dials a number--his. Within a few seconds, the phone in his pocket rings, and Light coolly turns off the sound, and answers. ]

That wasn't so complicated, was it?

Edited 2011-06-03 02:17 (UTC)

[She sees that glance and can't help it as a slight scowl makes an appearance. Showing no reaction to her name is almost like doubting her ability to take anything thrown her way. Watch yourself, Light.]

By bringing me here, this 'Author' has challenged me to escape, something I'll do easily. [He didn't look like much, no wonder he hadn't been able to escape.] I don't back down from a challenge, this place will be no different.

[As he takes the phone, she watches him carefully. So...hitting the numbers dialed people. Easy enough concept, she'd just have to remember what he did and make sure to copy it. Later, she'd try some other number combinations, see what happened.

Snatching her phone back from his hand, she shoved it into her belt, hiding the device from view.]

I could have figured that much out. [It would have just...took her a while.]

[ It's alarming when he can start drawing parallels between Temari's attitude and his own when he first arrived at the Manor. Surely, surely, he hadn't been that arrogant. ]

Of course.

[ He offers a pleasant enough smile.]

Well, in that case, your best bet at escaping will be to break through the Fourth Wall. No-one has been able to break it down as of yet, but perhaps you'll be the Arthur to our Excalibur, so to speak. [ He points toward the exit. ] Straight through that way. Best of luck to you, Temari-san.

Fourth wall?

[She'd find it without his help, he'd just gloat about it like when he showed her how to use the 'phone'. That was the kind of help she could live without...it would already be hard enough to keep Gaara out of trouble.]

I would say thank you, but you have proved to be more of an annoyance than an actual help. Consider yourself lucky that I'm in a good mood.

[Pushing past him with her 'good mood', she didn't care that she was coming off as rude. They obviously weren't in Suna or another village, she wasn't a reflection of the Kazekage here.]

[Devolution to threats. Purely one sided. Once again confirming Light's suspicion that there really is more to this girl and her unnecessarily large fan. Rude too, and if the shove is any indication, quick to resort to physical violence if necessary. Anything Light says at this point to Temari is purely nonverbal. After all, she had made it abundantly clear that despite Light's warnings that this would be a waste of time and effort on Temari's part, she wouldn't listen anyway. As it were, a raised eyebrow conveyed more than enough of Light's skepticism. He simply watches her retreating figure, muttering softly to himself under his breath.]

Don't say I didn't warn you.

[[The view isn't much, save for his arms being filled rather methodically with different things. Wires, metal scraps, the likes of those sorts of things while he walks down the hallway. He's not much for caring about new arrivals only that he's got a job to do and will preform it as he has been.

Gather stuff.
Make stuff with it. See if it's useful. Give it to Near if it is, as he's already trapped the hell out of his own room- if he's got to do something he may as well be doing it for someone else now.

He does stop and stare for a moment. The way she speaks strikes him as odd and he's not unaccustomed now to hearing 'powerful' people talk this way. He could really again care less but it brings him to pause.

Pause because she's in his god damn way. Easily rectified by brushing against her shoulder, unaltered in his course.]]

Excuse me.

[[Be glad he was polite and didn't shove you out of said way.]]

[She can't help but stare at all the random things he had. What was he? A junk collector or something? It was the only thing that made sense in her mind.

As he paused in front of her, she couldn't help a cocky grin from crossing her features. Oh, hell no. He couldn't want by...that would just be rude. Making a lady move first? This must be amended.

Backing up a foot or so, she positioned her closed fan to where it took up more room in the hallway, making passing by without her permission next to impossible.]

You're excused.

Now move, you're in my way~.

[Yes Hiiro, it would please her greatly if you set down your hard earned scraps and got out of her way.]

[[Hiiro doesn't particularly like the way she's looking at him. Maybe because she already strikes him as a horrid bitch. ..Which of course he's now confirming by the way she's holding that over-sized fan in his way.]]

I am in no mood for confrontation.
Please remove your accessory from my general route.

[Oh, this one was interesting. He'd be fun to play with for a while.]

Who's confronting?

If you were a man, you'd move out of my way first. Guess that's why you're just a little boy, hmm?

[[With a pointed glare that 'who's confronting' is answered with "You". Just the glare is enough, the word isn't spoken and he stands there unchanged but for the narrow of his eyes of course.]]

Your attitude won't sway me just based on your sexism.

[[Aka.
Thick skin bitch. *Sunglasses*]]

[She sees your glare and raises you a devil-may-care grin. Oh yes, Hiiro will provide many hours of enjoyment. Like a ball in a cup.]

I'm just asking you to move~ What's so hard about that? You should be nicer to strangers~.

[Yeah, like she's really one to talk. The girl had a tendency to start things for no other reason than being bored. things here will be no different.]

[Walking down the hallway, Ryuutaro stopped in his movement as he saw that fan. It immediatly had his attention. He was a passionate lover of fans after all, his own little one always in his hand.
Then he came walking towards Temari, a sweet smile on his lips, and opened his own fan]

I have to admitt, though the size is startling, your fan is kind of beautiful.

[Okay, she's not....sure how to respond really. Does she insult him or accept it graciously...honestly, this has never happened to her before. Deciding to mix it, she gives the boy a smirk.]

Of course it is~ All dangerous things are beautiful, surely you're smart enough to realize that.

[Dangerous. Ah, that probably explained the size]

I haven't seen fans used as a weapons yet, but the idea is absolutly intriguing. [Surely it'd give fighting finally some elegance]

[Unable to help it, she felt a swell of pride. It took her years to perfect her technique, she was more than a little proud of it.]

It's not a common talent, it's no wonder you haven't seen it. [It gave destruction elegance and was a scary talent to have.]

Fans seem to be greatly underestimated most of the time.
[Because you can shush people with them. He does it all the time. It's extremely effective.]

[Maybe...this one wasn't so bad. He certainly didn't mock fans like some did.]

Yes, they do.

Out of curiosity, what do you use yours for? It seems a bit weak to be used for much.

Ah, it's more of a symbolic nature [Ryuutaro chuckles]
I use it to accompany my magic.

[Snorting softly, she gives Ryuutaro a skeptical look.]

Magic?

What's commonly known as magic, yes.

But I'm more specialized in fortune-telling.

[Oh dear...he was one of those. And she'd just started to like him too.]

Fortunes are for fools. Just something to pass the time and to help them feel better about where their life is heading.

That's true as long as it concerns the fake fortune-tellers. I won't deny, that there's a lot of them.

Seeing into the future is a rare ability.

So admit that you're just scamming people. That's commendable~, not many people have the nerve to do so.

I admit, that some people do. [He does, too... sometimes.]
For myself, I do have said gift.

No one has the 'gift', it's just a way for people to get money out of people.

You're not tricking me, deal with it.

You can speak for your world only.
Don't presume being able to judge all the universes out there.

I'm still not sure how much of this 'other world' stuff I believe, but until I see otherwise, I'll hold to my judgment.

[Sorry Ryuutaro, she's stubborn as hell.]

[So is Ryuutaro, so they've already got two things in common]

Once you live here for a bit, you will understand.

Whatever...I'm not staying long enough to have to understand.

[...if she ever found that elusive exit anyway.]

I won't enjoy to see you disappointed, but leaving soon won't be possible for you, I'm afraid.

[HI THERE TEMARI. HAVE A RYOHEI RUNNING STRAIGHT TOWARDS YOU. THINK FAST!!!!]

[OMGWTFBBQ! HAVE A HUGE CLOSED FAN BLOCKING YOU FROM HITTING HER, or...passing by even. IT MAY HURT IF YOU RUN INTO IT!]

[SMACK!!!!]

OW (TO THE EXTREME)!!! ...THAT EXTREMELY BIG FAN IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS FIRE HAZARD!!! YOU!! BEHIND THE FAN!!! GET IT OUT OF THE HALLWAY!!!!!

[Satisfied that he ran into it, she takes a half step back as he starts screaming at her. Like hell she's going to go around unarmed. Ignoring the screaming and the order, she speaks calmly, though her tone may be a bit harsh.]

How about this. Help me find an exit or get out of my way, you're wasting my time.

[She's just so tired of everything that's going on.]

[....Exit?! MUST BE EXTREMELY NEW AROUND HERE! I guess I can forgive her for destroying some of my ~~very few~~ brain cells with her extremely big fan!!]

YOU MUST BE NEW AROUND HERE!! I'M SASAGAWA RYOHEI, LEADER OF THE NAMIMORI BOXING CLUB, LION PUNCHINIST, AND EXTREME ASPECT OF BOXING!!! [He extends his hand for a handshake.] WHAT'S YOUR NAME??!!

[Was everyone here weird? She was starting to think yes.]

I'm not going to be here long. As soon as I make sure my teammates aren't here, I'm going home. [She was very confident in this. Merely looking at the hand, she doesn't offer to take it.] ...Temari.

[He's not offended by that rejection there, NO GIRL COOTIES FOR HIM. He points at a generic direction...he's not actually sure if that's the exit.]

THE EXIT IS RIGHT OVER THERE!!! GOOD LUCK WITH FINDING YOUR TEAMMATES!!!!

[FORGET GIRL COOTIES, BOYS HAVE THE COOTIES.

Looking over in the general direction, she gives him a small nod as she pushes past him.]

Your cooperation is appreciated. [Even though he was so tempted to gut forever refer to him as 'loud idiot']
