(catch-all)
WHO: Fukawa & "Friends"
WHERE: Mirth, probably Stygia and Serene too.
WHEN: Nov/December
WHAT: Quest logs, perhaps other random goings on that don't need to clog event logs.
WARNINGS: CW: talk of child murder, perverted/erotica talk, threats of murder/suicide, Danganronpa spoilers. Updated as needed!

（ excuse you, she's a grade a nerd. sakura reads medical texts for fun. ）
Which one's your favourite?
no subject
[But Sakura is Not Like Other Girls. Fukawa brightens some, smiling in spite of herself.]
Um, b-but, I suppose of everything published, my last book is probably the least painful. So Lingers the Ocean. It's, um, about f-fishermen.
no subject
（ she's gonna read the book, fukawa, and you can't stop her. ）
My first mission was to help a fishing village.
no subject
Really? [Though she is quick to change gears now, being given a fresh inch to take a mile with.] Are you going to g-give me some details this time, or should I invent some for you?
no subject
（ 'boring', she says, as if sasuke didn't almost die, as if naruto and kakashi hadn't been in danger, as if she'd done something more useful than standing on the sidelines gripping a knife in a sweat-drenched palm. she still has nightmares about finding sasuke's body pierced with senbon, lifeless and cold. ）
They don't give dangerous missions to the new genin.
no subject
Genin? ["Peasant?" It doesn't sound like work for peasant class. Their homes seemed to share a number of linguistic and national components, but applied in different ways. Japan by another name.] S-so...if you were hired to escort people, trained in both martial arts and medicine, and some magic crap...
[She gnaws on her lip, squinting at the rock bed.]
Something like a shinobi, maybe?
[Is she even talking to Sakura any longer?]
no subject
（ if she hadn't wanted fukawa to figure it out, she wouldn't have given her so many hints, it's not like she's particularly averse to lying. but she'd decided that maybe the girl was trustworthy after all. in a way, she's also keeping her word to naruto and sasuke by not directly telling her. ）
no subject
[Slight pause.]
You admitted! Ha!
[Wait.]
Unless th-this is a clever diversion...
no subject
（ oh, now she's just going to tease her mercilessly. sakura grins, wrinkling up her nose playfully. ）
no subject
Y-you're just messing with me, aren't you.
no subject
（ ooh, scary. ）
no subject
[Screams internally.]
no subject
（ she laughs, and dips one hand under the water, flicking droplets playfully in fukawa's general direction. ）
No, of course not telepathy. That'd be my best friend back home.
（ okay, so ino's family jutsu aren't quite telepathy, but... you know what? close enough. ）
no subject
[AQUATIC ASSAULT. She flinches back and swats at the droplets with reflexes that can only be described as "unsalvageable".]
Don't do that!
[🤬❗❗❗
Anyway, she sulks a little but internally concedes that it was a stupid suggestion. If Sakura read her mind even once she'd probably have left her in jail.]
I'd h-hate to live in a place where things like that are possible. Aren't there enough problems in the world already?
[She sighs.]
I m-might be the only person here without some secret magical girl persona. None of that crap existed back home.
no subject
（ it's asked gently, as she sinks a little lower in the water. it isn't as if she's ashamed of having chakra — she's worked hard to be where and who she is, but she understands all too well the desperate fear of not being enough. strong enough, smart enough, good enough. it's easy to feel like you've been left behind when the people around you are predestined to power. ）
no subject
Don't act ashamed all of a s-sudden! If you have a talent, own it!
[The entire conceit of her own school was acquiring and honing talent. You couldn't attend without being the best at what you did, regardless of what it was.
Granted that meant a lot of useless talents squeaked through. Who was going to hire the "Super High School Level Biker Gang Leader"? Or the Clairvoyant. Spare her.]
I j-just mean, it's hard enough to stay alive as it is. Once you st-start bringing in people who can crush boulders with their hands, or...o-or this one guy, he j-just—
[She makes a gesture both wild and weak, a complete bungling of ninjutsu.]
He just made this b-big hand appear in the air and it threw me! Right into a b-bush! What the hell am I supposed to do against something like that?
no subject
she doesn't exactly have proof that fukawa is talking about sasuke, but there's a niggling certainty that's exactly who she means. who else in stygia can go around manifesting giant amorphous hands and who would throw a girl into a bush?
honestly.
sasuke fits pretty much all the bills. ）
That's pretty strange even by my standards... do you remember what he looked like...?
no subject
You're not going to go after him, are you?
no subject
（ excuse her, what sort of woman do you think she is!!!
don't answer that. ）
But it's probably a good idea to be aware of someone like that, don't you think?
no subject
If you p-put it that way...
[Oof. She sighs and goes to adjust her glasses. Then thinks better of it, setting them aside on the rocks. They're accumulating fog, it's getting annoying to squint through. At least she's near-sighted.]
He was good-looking enough, if y-you're a total masochist. [Which she is. And under other circumstances she'd be singing deluded praises instead of doling out warnings.] Dark hair, but l-long in the front and sh-short in the back? He looked Japa— uh. Like us. Not Western? I d-don't know if your world has the same geography or whatever. [Her nose wrinkles.] I think he was wearing a navy top with a high collar. I don't know.
no subject
Well, I'm glad you weren't hurt... that could have been quite the disaster if he'd meant you harm.
no subject
[Again, what are these noodle human arms going to do against the power of God and anime?
Fukawa sighs. Then squints.]
Are you okay?
[She looks like she's just bit into a peeled lemon.]
