[ 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?

[ Kakashi waits but already he knows exactly what Law is referring to. That tantalizing ending, filled with so much tension and excitement!

The drama!

The glory!

Oh, Junko-chan~ ♥

Indeed, Icha Icha Tactics also holds a very special place in Kakashi's heart like all the other books. ]

FILTERED FROM MINORS

[deathsdoctor]

Better. Now, that scene at the onsen when they finally had it out and made up.

Never did expect that twist of events. What a woman.

[Itachi may have recalled his chuckling at that part. Some things are so good (or so bad that they become gloriously good) that you can't put down.]

[ura_no_ura]

[ Kakashi's chuckling a bit now in that kind of conspiratorial way that ONLY A FELLOW LOVER OF ICHA ICHA CAN POSSIBLY UNDERSTAND. It is, after all, very unique to Icha Icha. ]

My favorite part was when they made it back to the room and Junko-chan showed Akira what was in her suitcase~

[ Is that an eyebrow waggle under his hitai-ate?

Nooo not at all. ]

[deathsdoctor]

[Of course not.]

Mmmmhmmm. Oh yes. Let's not forget what lead up to that. You know, with the geisha?

Best advice ever.

[ura_no_ura]

Mmm, Sayomi. Without her, we might not have had such a great ending.

[ Indeed, it was absolutely fantastic! ]

[deathsdoctor]

... yeah. Especially with the guy from the gambling den involved.

[... Itachi, partner, what is with that face. 8| Trying to establish a rapport with the guy via something he likes.

... oh come on. He's caught you with the books too.]

[yourhatred]

[Only to see what they were for himself for once. Reading is difficult now. 8|

He's just not sure what to think about this conversation anymore, but you two feel free to carry on. Developing a good rapport with Kakashi is a plus, even if it takes a chat like this for it to happen.]

[ura_no_ura]

You know...most people find him to be pretty sleazy. It seems you have a difference of opinion.

[ DOOT DOOT DOOT COMPLETELY OBLIVIOUS TO THIS OTHER THING GOING ON HERE... ]

[deathsdoctor]

[Mmhmm. If you say so, dear.]

Oh no, I found him sleazy. He was a real rake. I meant he had the potential to really cause some friction, if Sayomi didn't intervene.

[WHAT THING? THERE IS NO THING.]

[ura_no_ura]

Ah, yes, Sayomi was quite witty, wasn't she.

[ Kakashi particularly enjoyed the use of excellent wit in that particular section! ]

[deathsdoctor]

Oh yes. If anyone could earn the title silver tongued, it'd be her.

[ura_no_ura]

Well, she certainly was quite skilled...

[ Oh, this is starting to make him a little flustered talking so openly about this, but... Law is a fellow fan! That is so very rare! ]

[deathsdoctor]

[Even if he enjoyed it for different reasons. As porn doesn't titillate him.]

Now I wonder how she would fare against Minami from Icha Icha Violence. She was also quite clever.

[ura_no_ura]

Hmmm, I don't know, I think Minami may just win that round... After all, it's called Icha Icha Violence for a reason, isn't it.

[ wow he is really talking to another fan this is so cool, look at the stars in his eyes, just look ok. ]

[deathsdoctor]

True, true. But it'd be close I think.

[ura_no_ura]

Hmmm... I think you're right. Though, I'm a bit partial to Minami. Female empowerment and all, you know.

[ The last line is dryly quipped. ]

[deathsdoctor]

Mmmhmm. [He sees your dry quipping and hopes it doesn't get you in trouble with any women reading this. The filter only restricts the audience to adults after all.] She was a hell of a kunoichi.

[ura_no_ura]

[ Hey, that dry quip was meant to be more of a joke than anything else. Especially since Minami is quite the dominatrix and uses her wit as well as her whip. Wink wink. ]

And quite the woman too...

[ Kakashi sighs, contently, a fond smile nudging up under the mask. ]

You know, this is the first time I've actually had a chance to talk with a fellow fan. Most people find the books... ah... Well, they take issue with the content.

[deathsdoctor]

[Aaa... but would the women pick up on that?]

Well, I'm a sailor back home [Pirate, but that's just a certain type of sailor.], on a submarine with an all male crew who don't see land - or women - nearly as much as they'd like.

... it's nothing more dreadful than some of the things back home on the sub, so...

[ura_no_ura]

A submarine...?

[ Okay, now that's something Kakashi hasn't heard of before. ]

[deathsdoctor]

Marine vessel that travels underwater? Tight interior quarters? Sonar?

... no things like that in your world?

[ura_no_ura]

...not really.

[deathsdoctor]

Didn't think so.

Your world has a lot more actual land than mine does.

[GROSS. UNDERSTATEMENT.]

[ura_no_ura]

Actual land? What do you mean?

[deathsdoctor]

Well, except for a strip of mountainous rock encircling the globe longitudinally as the only continent, the only land out there in my world are islands. Most very tiny.

The rest of it's ocean, so...

[You can see that his world has put a priority on ocean travel.]
