I never know which way to take it anymore. It's only fair for people to be warned about the dangers of this place, but ... maybe I'm just getting really cynical. Most people who pass through here aren't going to ever have to deal with the kind of stuff us older residents have.

Either way, I'm not sure I like this. I don't think all this nice stuff is going to happen without any consequences ... I hate being kept waiting on the edge like this, though.

There haven't been any other people coming through with memories, either. I'm really beginning to think we're going to have to go find them ourselves, as crazy as that sounds.

... Well. Not any more crazy than most of the stuff I hear around here everyday.

[awhile after that private filter ... there is a dressed up blonde ninja wandering from the town over to the duck pond, just taking in all of the decorations while she walks. it's nice, reminds her of home a little :'( but she dictates into the journal finally:]

So those ghost people sitting around in town every day are people of authority in different worlds, huh? I wonder if any of the Hokage will show up. ... Or maybe a different Kage?

[As long as they don't paint his face again.]

Not even the ones I know.

[ino]

Well, it's pretty common to celebrate our ancestors or leaders of the past who are dead now, where I come from.

[gottaknockhard]

... [Funny what people he thinks of when she says that.]

Apparently they're big on that here too.

[ino]

You don't think it's a good idea?

[gottaknockhard]

To encourage the ghosts?

[ino]

What do you mean, encourage them?

[gottaknockhard]

Do you think they would show up without the party?

[ino]

There are always ghosts around, though. Just not these particular ones.

[gottaknockhard]

Maybe it doesn't matter then.

[Like he'd know.]

[ino]

Maybe ...

Was one of them someone you know?

[gottaknockhard]

I doubt it.

[ino]

You doubt it? You didn't go look?

[gottaknockhard]

Haven't got around to that yet.

[ino]

[a laugh] Well, how will you know unless you go see?

[gottaknockhard]

Call me a rebel.

[aka he doesn't actually want to know... there are some faces he can handle never seeing again. (Rebel sounds better.)]

[ino]

Sounds more like laziness to me. [jo .. king ... hahaha]

[gottaknockhard]

[It's not the first time he's heard that...]

Could factor in.

[ino]

Possibly. [amused]

Well, you'll probably hear about it over the journal anyways.

[gottaknockhard]

It's worked so far.

[ino]

And, for all we know, this might be over with tomorrow.

[gottaknockhard]

At least you can count on festivals for that.

[ino]

Not a fan of parties?

[gottaknockhard]

Not exactly, but I'm not really a fan of anything.

[ino]

[ ... LOL]

Anything? You don't have any hobbies or anything?

[gottaknockhard]

Does napping count as a hobby?
