[ Lana is outside the fence surrounding the 'Forest of Death' while waiting for Arthur, because apparently all this fishnet has offended his delicate sensibilities, and Lana just doesn't care enough to go clothes shopping! She's already looked around town (it doesn't take long for her), so now she's just seeing if anything amazing happened on the journal and keeping an ear out for any danger. She's tempted to just break into the training grounds, but she might get lectured for that.

...And still weighing her options. In the mean time, at least, she'll dictate over the open journal in her lap. ]

Did anybody else expect something different when they heard 'ninja'?

[ ooc; Open to all over the journal or in person! ]

[Zelos, now that Ino helped him into clothes that well, not a dishonor on his family and his cow, has been exploring the village. Which of course eventually leads him to the area that Lana is in. Though he doesn't realize it until she's come into view and he hears her talking to the journal]

[Which of course, the last time he saw her was the nightmare, so....he's going to see if he can sneak away before she notices ]

[luthored]

[ Fail attempt at sneaking up on or by Lana is fail. It will always be fail. Not sorry! ]

Zelos?

[wilder]

[DAMMIT]

Oh, hey Lana!

What's up?

[luthored]

[ And she barely remembers that their last 'meeting' was actually in a nightmare. It's still easy for her to get the order of things a little mixed up unless she has reason to consciously recall. ]

Well currently I'm wishing you knew what 'deer in the headlights' meant, because that's how you look right now.

[wilder]

Heh, sorry. Still working on Earth colloquies.

[luthored]

Do even you have deer?

[wilder]

Deer? Sure, in the regular forests and stuff.

[luthored]

Since you don't seem to have horses, it's hard to imagine what else you might not have.

[ Oh look at that, an opening! What a coincidence. She'll give him the chance to broach the elephant in the room, unless she seriously has to hold his hand through the whole thing. ]

[wilder]

[Zelos Wilder? Actually take the step to broach the elephant in the room that is backstory first?]

[Sorry you need to take him on a walk through a beautiful snowy city at night all alone first at the very LEAST.]

Heh, most of the stuff in the forest we have...though ours tends to be more violent for some reason. [a shrug]

[luthored]

[ You dick. B| This is Lana looking unimpressed with you, Zelos, but she'll leave it for now. ]

Maybe it's radiation. Any nuclear reactors? Meteor showers?

[wilder]

[He's going to try to ignore that unimpressed look and give a shrug]

Hmmm...nope. Nothing like that.

[luthored]

Did you make Mother Nature cranky?

[assassino]

I did not know what a ninja was, and so I was impossible to disappoint!

[luthored]

I wouldn't necessarily say I'm disappointed. It's not like I've spent many an hour wondering about the ins and outs of ninjahood.

[assassino]

Oh? What did you expect, then?

[luthored]

A lot more black and a lot less teamwork.

[assassino]

You know, I would appreciate it more if it were like that. At first I was thrilled at the notion of having work again, but then they informed me that I needed to bring my teammates... a servant girl and a lawyer.

[luthored]

Well hey, it's not like I have 'combat super star' listed in my resume's career history. Maybe they're even better at acrobatics than you.

Also, you might want to learn their names. 'Servant girl' has a very bad ring to it.

[assassino]

I do know their names, I just did not want to say them because then you would have said "who?" if you did not know them! And what is wrong with "servant girl?" I forget her title, but that is what she does. She serves people cheesecake.

[luthored]

She serves people cheesecake?

[ Getting into the differences of social norms with Ezio is sometimes trying. She doesn't always have the patience for it, especially these days, but urgh she tries, because she knows he does, too. In his own...way. ]

I hope she serves more or that would get redundant. Does she serve it at their house, or at a restaurant?

[assassino]

Yes, she works at a cheesecake factory, which is also a restaurant.

[He tries... but then again, just about everything is a social norm confusion, for him.]

[luthored]

Oh, The Cheesecake Factory? Yeah, a waitress isn't exactly the same as a servant girl.

[ A beat. ]

Okay granted, sometimes it felt hard to see the difference, but those were just bad days.

[assassino]

[He chuckles]

Well, no matter, they are not prepared to keep up with me.

[wheatdos]

Bl-black suits. Am-am I right?

[A chuckle. Cue a friendly British voice dictated to you.]

[luthored]

Yeah, something like that! And a little less...out in the open?
