[ Well, this had all certainly been a new experience. Not so much waking up on the ground or spending the past few days in a new place, and not so much being alone, since he couldn't exactly be around someone all day, every day; but both of those combined with his clothes piled on the ground and wings on his back made for a really... interesting start to things.

But it is one that Akimichi Chouji took in stride. Konoha was safe, his dad was going to be fine last he'd heard, and picking through his book proved that he wasn't dead or necessarily alone- no reason to panic if that was the case, right?

Right. Have a friendly greeting now that he's gotten himself settled, Luceti, while he makes a curious and semi-cautious tour of the village. There is a grocery store in this town, he knows it. ]

It looks like everyone here is pretty quick to explain stuff to new people, huh? That's good, even if we're all still stuck for now. Makes it easier for everyone to work together, you know?

[action] because I was seriously about to post in the grocery

[If Chouji eventually finds his way to the grocers, there will be a familiar figure browsing the vegetable aisle. Though Chouji's chakra signature will be noted when he enters, Itachi won't pay him any immediate mind.

His focus is entirely on the produce before him. Or rather the labels on said produce. He might be staring at them a little longer than one might consider necessary, even with his sharingan fully activated.

Or that could just be your imagination.]

[action] great minds think alike.

[ ...

...

Oh god, he can't even go to the store. What is he supposed to do. ]

[action] ...ffff

[yourhatred.livejournal.com]

[Well, Itachi has no reason to debunk the image Chouji has of him, so he'll continue to focus his attention elsewhere.

Perhaps he'll move a bit further back into the store. He could do with a loaf of bread.]

[ It takes more than the presence of S-Class ninja in league with criminal organizations to put an Akimichi off of his shopping. HAVE AT THEE, ITACHI.

Or, you know. Don't have at thee, just let Chouji figure out where they're keeping the chips wherever that may end up being. Because he knows he couldn't take you. :| ]

It'll save a lot of headache and confusion later if we explain now.

[Voice]

[savethelastchip.livejournal.com]

I bet it does. It was a really good idea.

[Voice]

[300yrswandering.livejournal.com]

Good to know, at least. There's not a lot to learn if you're just going for the essentials, but it's better than running blind.

Are you one of the newer ones then?

[Voice]

[savethelastchip.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I've been around for a couple of days now. Akimichi Chouji- nice to meet you!

[ action ]

[ashesandpearls.livejournal.com]

[This one is just leaving the bakery. She has a large and deliciously sweet cinnamon roll in her hands and is tearing off pieces of it and popping it into her mouth quite contentedly.]

[ action ]

[savethelastchip.livejournal.com]

[ Hell yeah, baked goods. Chouji observes this with his food-ninja-senses 8|. While he has you, have a question of the utmost importance. No really. Most important thing ever asked: ]

Is the bakery here any good?

[ action ]

[ashesandpearls.livejournal.com]

[Well, Matsumoto doesn't remember ever seeing you before.]

Yes. [And she smiles and pops another piece in her mouth.] And - it's free!

[ action ] 1/2

[savethelastchip.livejournal.com]

[ You know, he'd heard as much from the guide, but it helps to have it confirmed. BRB, ninja-speeding into the bakery. ]

[ action ]

[savethelastchip.livejournal.com]

[ She probably has time to blink before he gets back with a couple of donuts or something 8Db It's not BBQ, but it's still good eating. ]

So have you been staying here long? [ Whut, he likes talking to new people. ]

[Voice]

[nextgen-hokage.livejournal.com]

Was I supposed to explain stuff?

[Voice]

[savethelastchip.livejournal.com]

Nah, I figured it out. [ JEEZ NARUTO, YOU TOTALLY DID NOTHING. SO MEAN. ]

[Voice]

[nextgen-hokage.livejournal.com]

Wow, that's a relief! I would've felt bad. [Can you blame him?]

[Voice]

[savethelastchip.livejournal.com]

It's not a big deal. People show up every day, so a lot of people were already putting out useful stuff. [ What? It's not like Chouji popped up answering posts completely unexpectedly or something.

...and don't get accustomed to the guy who doesn't hold grudges, just in case Shino turns up. ]

[felltohate.livejournal.com]

[savethelastchip.livejournal.com]

[ There are some things you think you will never see. One of these is Uchiha Sasuke staring intently at a flower shop. If you're starting to miss Ino now, it's TOO LATE

Chouji does what any sane man would do and...stops to blink appropriately at the sight. ]

[felltohate.livejournal.com]

[savethelastchip.livejournal.com]

[ Is he going to run into every face in the Bingo Book today? Because Chouji's ninety-nine percent sure that his heart can't take it. Looking away like a boss! ]

[voice]

[mydearapple.livejournal.com]

We try, we try. No use in having people around who don't even know where they are, after all.

[voice]

[savethelastchip.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that probably wouldn't do very much good.

[voice]

[mydearapple.livejournal.com]

Not at all. It could be really troublesome to have everyone asking the same old questions over and over again.

[voice]

[savethelastchip.livejournal.com]

[ Well that sounds familiar, all right. ]

People who get put into the same situation do usually ask the same questions, huh?
