UN: PSI-HIME

Let's have a little chat, somewhere that's a little safer for you to say what you want to. Since I know some of you are never going to remotely do anything face-to-face, I've come to terms with that. I can't blame anyone for not wanting to, either.

With the nature of this place, it's understandable that there's some underlying fear of what's to come of the future. Whether it's going to happen before you're ready, that you might lose someone or something important to you due to it.

Unfortunately, at the end of the day, we can't really know the future. We can get bits and pieces of it, we can speculate based on that evidence, but we can't know everything that's going to happen. There's always some form of loss when it comes to a fight on the scale that will eventually be here, and I'll say that even in the darkest of times there's always a shred of light.

I can say that from experience. While this would be on a much larger scale than my own, wars of all sorts have been fought on this planet, whether or not you're aware of them. The shinobi mages were no different from the rest of the world, if I remember correctly, we'd been through three major wars between our different villages, or clans. Many of us lost those close to us, many lost their own lives, for what was perceived as the greater good.

God, I'm rambling. My point is that of the things to be worrying about, don't let it be the inevitable, it will only hold you back and put you in a rut. Perhaps when the time comes, you'll grow even stronger through your struggles.

Action

[Lin read this at 6:30 in the morning. She glanced at when it was posted, and decided that Tsunade was PROBABLY still in bed. A normal person might have messaged her but Lin was not terribly used to modern technology and it honestly didn't occur to her.

At around ten (She HAD to be waking up by now), she knocked on Tsunade's door.]

Tsunade?

[She blinked when she saw a tiny pig instead of a woman and spent a moment wondering if Tsunade was a werepig. She decided probably not, patted Tonton on the head, and cautiously peered into the gloomy apartment beyond.

She held an insulated cardboard cup in front of her, like bait for some kind of elusive beast.]


I brought coffee.
fistsofchange: (I don't know what that means)

[personal profile] fistsofchange 2019-06-04 12:47 am (UTC)(link)
[Lin padded in and flicked the lights on. She set the coffee down in front of Tsunade, then took a seat herself.]

Had a bit of a late night?

growing stronger through your struggles
is propaganda to get us to sign up for your war on nightfall!
fistsofchange: I'm going to get us involved again (I promise I won't get us involved again)

[personal profile] fistsofchange 2019-06-04 12:55 am (UTC)(link)
That obvious. [She confirmed.]

Also, you were rambling on the message board about how we're all going to suffer during Nightfall but come out stronger for it, which is hopefully true but also not really the kind of talk the students need to be hearing right now, I think.

[personal profile] yokeye 2019-06-04 12:59 am (UTC)(link)
i have nothing!
carry on!

Shinobi mage wars. I'm not sure what those are but apparently there's been three of them?

[Lin is trying to discretely look around for someone else in the apartment. She's not TERRIBLY interested in Tsunade's private affairs but she'd feel more comfortable if she could confirm that she hadn't just been drinking alone with her pet pig last night even if that meant an awkward moment of meeting her one night stand.]

[personal profile] fistsofchange 2019-06-04 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, war can be pretty messed up.

[Hmm there seems not to be any hot strangers lying around here, though it's late enough they might have already left.

Lin didn't think that was very likely, honestly speaking.]


So were you at a party last night or...?
fistsofchange: (Not putting up with your shit)

[personal profile] fistsofchange 2019-06-04 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
[Unfortunately it does.]

Tsunade are you alright?

[Lin leaned a little closer, and from the look of her it wasn't a casual question. She expected an actual answer, not just a casual "yeah I'm fine".]
fistsofchange: And now I'm stupider for knowing it (This is stupid)

[personal profile] fistsofchange 2019-06-04 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
[Lin might be a bit gullible sometimes, but even this rings false to her.

But...maybe she's wrong. Maybe it WAS a fluke and Tsunade was just in a bad mood. She didn't REALLY know her that well yet, after all. Lin searched her face for answers for another few seconds before relenting.]


I'm glad to hear it.
fistsofchange: (Yang Wei shot someone)

[personal profile] fistsofchange 2019-06-04 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
[Lin's eyes followed the noise and saw the impressive collection of empty liquor bottles. "Just a fluke" her ass, but she'd give Tsunade a chance.]

...If you need a drinking buddy, why don't you call me next time? I know drinking alone always just makes me feel sad.

[personal profile] fistsofchange 2019-06-04 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
Oh c'mon. It'll be fun! We can ogle hot guys and tell inappropriate jokes!

Or girls! I don't know how you roll!
fistsofchange: (I don't know what that means)

[personal profile] fistsofchange 2019-06-04 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe not that, then, but SOMETHING fun.

[Getting up. She's said her piece, she'll leave Tsunade to brood in silence, if that's what she wants so bad, but she's got her eye on your now. Nothing can get by Lin's eye except basic level trickery.]
