[Nightmares are never fun, no matter where you go. But things take a bit of a turn for the worse when you've jumped into the mind of a ninja. A ninja that can look into other people's heads, to be exact.

So which path will you pick?]

HIDAN | KAKUZU | BAD END | ALONE | SOMETHING ELSE?

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[she honestly isn't thinking about that at all; it's just that she's craved human contact for so long, she wants to get as much in as possible before the inevitable occurs]

What do you get when you cross a snowman with a vampire?

[He tilts his head to one side in faux thought, before giving a shrug]

I don't know, what do you get when you cross a snowman with a vampire?

[there's a bit of a sly tone to her voice when she answers]

Frostbite.

[That does get a snort out of him]

Wow, and you say my jokes are bad.

No, I'm pretty sure the peanut one was worse. Or the one you told the other day.

[ ... wait, what? didn't she say she'd been here alone? hmm ...]

[...Uh oh. The Once-ler pauses, then delicately:]

Ino, I wasn't here the other day...

[she just continues, as if this is obvious] In the journal. We were talking, remember?

I... when? When were we talking? [This is worrying, this is very worrying]

[she keeps one hand clutching at his lapel as she reaches for her journal and opens it to a page where they were having a conversation. ... unfortunately, that conversation a) has no joke in it and b) is from a time when they'd practically just met.

but she holds it up to show him triumphantly, smiling]

See? You said you couldn't come here anymore, but we could still talk sometimes.

[The Once-ler stares at that journal page, his eyes scanning the page for anything remotely of what Ino's talking about. But no, it's not there, it's not there at all]

I... [He pauses, then carefully, oh so carefully;] Ino, I think you're confused.

[she sets the journal into her lap with a little frown ...]

You don't remember? [she pauses, before looking down at her lap dejectedly] I guess that makes sense. You must be busy, wherever you were.

[He watches her for a moment, before shaking his head]

Don't talk crazy, Ino. [Okay not the best choice of words, but he'll soldier on] I'd never be too busy for you.

But ... [you said you didn't remember :c SHE DOESN'T GET IT]

[He sighs, leaning over to take the journal from her] These entries are really old... I mean, super old, Ino.

[she looks up at him, to REALLY look at him. he's not joking around ... she looks back at the journal, now, staring]

I don't understand.

[He'll give her the benefit of the doubt]

Maybe the castle made you think you could hear voices in it recently...

But I did! I've been talking to everyone just fine!

[yeaaah she's getting upset again. because it's not exactly fun to think that all this time she's just been imagining these conversations]

And maybe as far as you were concerned you really were. You know what Paradisa is like for mind games.

[This isn't helping, he frowns] But it's okay, right? We can beat this thing.

[she frowns, clutching at his shirt tightly now, if only for confirmation that he's definitely there. if she was imagining the voices in the journal ...]

Beat it?

[He'll offer her a reassuring smile]

Sure. Show this castle it can't keep us down, right?

But it can. [lmfao you know it's sad when ino is more negative than him] It can do whatever it wants.

[There's something distinctively wrong when he's the optimistic one]

Yeah? Well so can we.

[she'll be glancing up at him, confused]

What do you mean ... ?

Well, you're always giving me that optimistic stuff about standing up and dealing with your problems and nothing can keep us down yadda yadda. What's to say we can't find a way thought this?.

... I did say that, didn't I.

[she frowns, laying her cheek back on his chest] I was wrong.
