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?

[delincuente]

Isn't that like some type of sausage?

[No... Alex... that isn't what a Hokage is.]

dictated;

[save_the_souls]

Is that what they are...?

LMFLKASJ

[ino]

... The Hokage is not a type of sausage. It's a person who's in charge of a village.

[ino]

Apparently! From what people were saying, it sounds like they're pretty important and influential people ... I guess it's always possible it might be a coincidence, though.

:3

[delincuente]

Huh. They should pick a different name, then, that could be really confusing.

[The distinct sound of someone eating potato chips comes over the journal.]

So they're kind of like mayors?

[ino]

[LMFAO just ... what. chooses to ignore that first bit]

I guess you could say that, yeah. But in actuality they're probably closer to a general of an army, or something like that.

[delincuente]

Oh, so like one of those drill sergeant guys.

[save_the_souls]

Wow...I wonder what sort of festival this is supposed to be then!

[gottaknockhard]

[That what's going on this time? Another festival for dead people.]

I guess they didn't like them enough to give them a room.

[ino]

Uh ... I guess. Our current Hokage is a she, though.

[ino]

I'm not sure ... but it's nice. It's a lot like home.

[ino]

Well, they're not actually here, I don't think. It's just an illusion.

[gottaknockhard]

How can you tell the difference?

[ino]

People who show up here always get a room. If they don't, then they're some sort of loss or a castle trick.

[gottaknockhard]

Or the ghosts that clean the castle are hiring out.

[ino]

You really think so?

[gottaknockhard]

It'd make about as much sense to me.

[ino]

As much sense as a regular pattern?

[gottaknockhard]

The festival part throws it off a little.

[ino]

You've never celebrated dead people before?

A-action >>

[heartscrepes]

[Yuri's been wandering around getting used to the sights and decorations, and spots the girl talking to herself...people do that a lot here, huh?]

So dead people like wandering around whenever's there's a festival?

[ino]

[LMAO. Yuri there's a journal there really, she isn't crazy ;; she glances over at the familiar voice, though ... and smiles when she recognizes him]

I think it's just this one.

[heartscrepes]

[Yuri doesn't like books okay? He doesn't even like the one he's carrying around it won't leave him alone. He smiles back.]

Maybe they just like all these lights. Hard not to notice them them all.

[ino]

There was another festival like this not too long ago, with all the lanterns and lights everywhere. [waves a hand vaguely in the direction of a big lantern on a post] Maybe they were too shy to come out before?

[save_the_souls]

Mm...it does look a bit like Konoha, now that I think of it.
