[ 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?

Comments

[ura_no_ura]

Is that so.

[ Just as flatly. Staring at you pretty flatly, too.





Actually, Kakashi's kind of amused. ]

[keepitcanine]

[Look at your own team while you're at it, Kakashi.

Actually, might as well look at them all minus maybe Ino.]

Totally.

[And from behind him, Akamaru sneaks into the camera with a low whuff]

[ura_no_ura]

Well~ I'm sure Kurenai would be very proud of you for losing your virginity and setting an example for your team! Congratulations, Kiba-kun~!

[ Yeah, that was way too airy and light and far too glib. ]

[keepitcanine]

Gee, thanks.

[He's going to officially lie his ass off until the day he dies.]

You sound like you mean it.

[ura_no_ura]

Mm! You've achieved manhood~ That certainly is no easy feat. I'll be sure to tell Gai so he can congratulate you properly, too.

[ Somehow Kakashi manages to say all this without a hint of laughter at all. ]

[keepitcanine]

[Oh gods no.]

....Maybe I should also tell Gai-sensei you're officially off the market.

[ura_no_ura]

Hmm? Why would you do that?

[ Obliviously~ ]

[keepitcanine]

So he can congratulate you for making it over the hill and out of your prime.

[Stop smiling, you bastard. He can see you smiling under there.]

[ura_no_ura]

Ah, how thoughtful of you, Kiba~ Though, I have a feeling Gai might just be very offended at the idea that I'm not "in my prime"~

After all, I am his "Eternal Rival," and that would therefore indirectly suggest that he's also not in his prime, if we are truly rivals, wouldn't it.

[keepitcanine]

That's stupid.

[He almost doesn't want to play this game anymore. It's like trying to play shogi with Shikamaru.]

Would he think of that? Maybe he'd decide to try and save you from falling head-over-ass over the old-man hill and try to drag you back instead, or just chase you all the way down it.

[ura_no_ura]

Would you like to find out, Kiba.

[ Can that deadpan get any more dead. Seriously.

Also, this was your idea, Kiba. Kakashi's just playing along. ]

[keepitcanine]

Well, you obviously think it's a stupendous idea.

Would you like to hand out more advice?

[ura_no_ura]

Hmmm, I wasn't aware I was giving you any advice to begin with...

[keepitcanine]

Well, maybe you should start, since you're so experienced and all.

[ura_no_ura]

But I thought you just said I was out of my prime~!

[keepitcanine]

[This was not how things were supposed to go.]

And maybe I was just testing you to see if you had actually learned anything.

1/3

[ura_no_ura]

Let me think about that.

[ura_no_ura]

Hmmm...

[ura_no_ura]

You're an idiot.

hell no]

[keepitcanine]

[well, screw you too, sir. kiba feels offended at your ridiculous assumption.]

[keepitcanine]

[opens mouth.]

[keepitcanine]

[closes it.]

[keepitcanine]

[THINKING OF A RETORT.]

[keepitcanine]

Shut up!

I am not!
