[ Well, it seems he's got the basics down.

This isn't the afterlife, even if Kakashi's not entirely sure if he's actually still alive. And the wings don't do anything other than serve a mostly ornamental purpose. Which, in his book, means that they're completely useless and have about as much function as a second belly-button or a third nipple. Either way, they're itchy and uncomfortable and he had to cut holes in his flak vest so they weren't crushed against his body. A flak vest that was kindly delivered to him by his sensei, along with the rest of his gear. (He's only too relieved that it wasn't Naruto or Sakura or someone else who came across him when he was still in that relative state of undress -- what, without the mask and all.)

So here he is, fully dressed, with his journal-cum-communication device in his hand, flipped on. He supposes he should say hello this way since it would be easier to do this than to hunt down every shinobi of Konoha individually. It probably would also be useful for him to introduce himself to the rest of the network as well.

He's sitting on a tree stump while Minato goes off to do something IDEK ok and has his signature I Am Bored expression on his face. Or rather, lack of expression.

The edges of his wings, silver and tipped in black, flutter slightly. ]

Ah, is this thing on?

[ He brings the camera a little closer then, to make sure it's properly capturing him. Once he's sure, he raises a hand in something of a wave.

This is starting to feel like some sort of speed dating thing, minus the actual person sitting in front of him. Not that he's ever actually done speed dating, but he assumes that's how it'd work. ]

Yo. My name is Hatake Kakashi. I'm a shinobi by trade.

[ What does one say in introductions? Likes, dislikes, dreams, and hobbies? Ah, he supposes he can do that. ]

I'm not the kind of guy who talks about his likes and dislikes... My dreams are...hmm.... [ a beat ] none of your business. And I have many hobbies. None of which I want to tell you.

[ Another beat. ]

Any questions?

Namikaze-sama and Kushina-sama are very wonderful people. I hope that you enjoy your stay with them. Asuma-sensei lives close to the rest of us in CH1. From what I understand, there is plenty of free space still in the village. [He probably wants to know about the others.]

Gai-sensei and Asuma-sensei's full teams are here. Sakura-san, Naruto-kun, Temari-san, and Kiba-kun are here as well. And... Uchiha Itachi and Konan. [That's all she's heard about up until now.]

[ura_no_ura]

Mmm, Yondaime's filled me in for the most part.

[ Slight emphasis on the word Yondaime because he's not entirely sure how he feels about someone from Naruto's generation being that... familiar with his sensei, even with the honorific. ]

I'm sure I'll find a place in a day or two.

[ He doesn't want to impose upon his sensei, after all. ]

Have you been here long?

[twinlionfists]

[If anything, Kakashi should know that Hinata isn't one to go into familiarity for familiarity's sake. Nope. She's the most formal person in the world. So, the fact that she's using the Yondaime's family name at all should clue him in to the fact that she has been given permission.]

I have been here for nearly two months. I...Sakura-san found me when I first arrived and has allowed me to move into the large apartment that she had to herself at the time. It has been...fun trying to get used to being around my other friends every day.

[ura_no_ura]

Ah, so you're living with Sakura. That's nice. Is everyone else living together for the most part?

[twinlionfists]

Yes. Kiba-kun and Akamaru live on the top floor of the same building, but the rest of us live on the same floor. [Yep, both of Naruto's "girlfriends" live together. Better access, right?]

[ura_no_ura]

[YEAH NO MORE SHIPPING WARS -- ahem.

Kakashi thinks it's good that they're mostly all staying in the same area. ]

Mm, perhaps I should look into a unit in the same building. It would be good to stick together.

[ Strategically, anyway. ]

[twinlionfists]

[Nothing official, but Minnie and Kushina think that Naruto has two girlfriends, okay.

Before Kakashi can make up his mind, Hinata feels inclined to tell him something else.]

Yes, we all live in the same building, but I would avoid the fifth floor, unless you wish to share a kitchen unit with Gai-sensei.

[ura_no_ura]

[ ...

Hinata is exceedingly helpful, and Kakashi is ever so grateful. ]

I'll keep that in mind.

[twinlionfists]

[She has no clue how to read Kakashi's face and tone of voice. She is most used to Kurenai and Gai-sensei. It's one thing to gout on a mission with him as the leader, but to actually hold a conversation is another matter entirely.]

Yes, if you require my assistance, Kakashi-sensei, you will find me at the smaller clinic in the village. [She bows politely to the journal.]

[ura_no_ura]

Got it.
