three whirlwinds. VIDEO + ACTION.

[ Strange. Definitely very strange. Ikki knew the room, because it was hers, but it wasn't right. Things weren't there, or were cleaned away, and although she searched around for it, she couldn't find her box or her clothes or even her sister. No matter how hard she tried to think about it, she couldn't really make things mesh in her head.

...Oh well! Humming softly to herself, Ikki opens the journal, going to her favourite setting - video. She doesn't look overly worried, although she's more or less baffled - she fully expects someone will find her and explain things, or at least tell her where to go. ]

Jinoraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! D'you have my things? Or does someone else? 'Cause I can't find 'em. Or you, so I'm using this, although I dunno the chances of you reading this book instead of another book. [ Pouting. It would be so much easier if her sister weren't constantly buried in books. At least there's a very good chance some of her other family members will see this. At least, that's the entire plan - so far as Ikki plans anything. ]

Y'know, I could have really important news and you'd miss it 'cause I can't find you! I mean, I don't. I think. I mean, I guess I sorta do, but not ACTUALLY and if you'd read this you'd probably KNOW it already. I mean, I can probably think of some! But anyway my POINT is that now I'm gonna have to run over to the library 'cause that's probably where you are, and if you aren't I'm basically gonna have to run around everywhere instead 'cause maybe you decided to go sit and read on a bench but how do I know if you did, you know? And it's not like I know all the little places you could be or might be 'cause I'm not totally sure about that right now and anyway this is a bigger area to check than usual which is ANNOYING 'cause I don't know where you are for SURE and you might not be where I think you are and you might not even be where I don't think you are, and that gets CONFUSING.

[ Apparently that was all on one breath, because she has to pause to take another, still gesturing vaguely with her hands. ] Or! I guess I'll go check for my clothes first, 'cause the dress is nice an' all but at least that'd be some of my things down, I guess? An' that's on the way anyway, so I guess that works! But! If you're not here, then you might be there? I mean, 'cause where else would you sleep? [ She's not even really talking to her sister any longer, if she ever was. Hrm. ] 'Kay! So I'll go get my clothes, and then go back and check if you're at the other house. [ Aaaand that's a wrap. Video function ended. Feel free to hit her up in journals/on the path of House 58 > shops > House 56, if you want. ]

[ACTION; HOUSE 56]
[ And post picking up her clothing, Ikki wanders back to her second household - which was the first, a little while back - to locate any of the relatives she hadn't managed to find to begin with. She does not actually knock on the door, but will just go inside and track down anyone who is there. And also probably take an apple or something to eat. ]

Exactly!!!

Hey, if your village is hidden how do people find you to give you missions? [ This is a niggling question she's had ever since a brief history lesson courtesy Lee. ]

[--haha.]

Been talking to other ninja, have you?

[ Who doesn't she talk to, Shikamaru? People seem willing to tell her lots of things, too. ]

Yup! You're a chunin and're one of the first of your class to get there which is 'cause you're smart and cool and had to pass a special exam for it an' you're on a team with Ino who likes flowers and Chouji who's in an Akimichi clan and eats a lot and your families were close an' your teacher was Asuma and you live in the Land of Fire in Konoha an' someone named Hokage is in charge although I guess there's a landlord in charge of the Land which makes sense cause they'd be a LORD of the LAND and for some reason there's a Land of Lightning but other than that all four lands are basically our nations, huh?

[ she should probably become a reporter someday ]

[Holy shit.]

You're good.

[And then Ikki replaced the journal as Shikamaru's #1 information source. Not even joking.]

[ Something about being a small child apparently makes people very willing to share! ]

At what? I just wanted to know about you 'cause you're my friend! Y'know, the ninja mastery tests sound lots more hard and confusing than the airbender ones. A test on cheating on a test is just weird! [ SHE WOULD HAVE FAILED. ]

Soooooo how do people find your village?

[ Psh, she would totally be willing to find things out for him. ...Assuming she hadn't already found the things out to begin with, which is always a possibility. 8|a ]

[NEVER KNOW WITH THIS KID.]

Sorry. That one's a big secret. As for how we get our missions, I'll say that's a mystery only our carrier birds know.

[Also that test was awesome, okay. He had to do zero work thanks to Ino ~~even if he already knew the answers~~.]

Carrier birds? Like Uncle Sokka's hawk? [ COOL.

on another note Jinora is retconned to leave this day, so Shikamaru will not find her at the library. Whoops. ]

Hey! I found out another thing we have sort of the same!

[Oh sadness. Retcon noted.]

What's that?

We both have chakra things! Althoughhhh they're not the same thing. But they're sort of similar I think!

You mean chi?

Yeah! ...Maybe? Lee talked about chakra. How's chi work?

The same way, I guess. We do call it chakra, but Katara has always called it chi.

Yep! I wasn't sure if it was different. Buuuuut, when I say chakra I guess I mean the chakra points! I don't know lots about them, though.

[--actually, this is news to him.]

Chakra points? Sounds you know more than me.

[Provided she's not talking about tenketsu.]

There're seven! Daddy told us about them. Each one deals with one emotion and is blocked by another, kinda. He said that grandpa told him about them!

[Oh that's definitely different. ...in a way.]

What are they for?

...Um. [ ...GOOD QUESTION ACTUALLY. ]

"When a chakra is open, energy is free to flow about the body." That's what daddy said. So, if it's not, energy can't flow right!

"Open", huh. [Hm.] Like a door? Or a--

[--oh.]

Or a? [ Ikki sounds curious. Shikamaru doesn't normally trail off on her. ]

--a gate. Sorry.

[HUH.]

Uh. It's what Masaomi is.
