FAQ

[spandexisyouth]

[Have a question or a concern? Is your character confused or lost? Feel free to have them ask for info from the spandex-clad ninja!]

I'm so sorry for this.

[ritsu_kouyou]

[Spandex? SPANDEX?]

What are you wearing?

[Asks the young woman wearing what amounts to school gym clothes with her long hair pulled back in a ponytail.]

I hope you're not expecting us to take you seriously while you're dressed like that.

No worries!

[spandexisyouth]

[Gai turns around, giving her a beaming smile.]

Of course I am! It is the perfect outfit for combat, and I have served as a fighter for my village for many years! This is what I wear for training and missions.

[And everyday garb.]

Can I help you with something?

[ritsu_kouyou]

It's spandex. You are far too old to wear that, supposed 'perfect outfit for combat' or not. Have you no shame?

[spandexisyouth]

Why should I be ashamed of who I am and what is efficient? I am hardly old! I am still in the spring of my youth!

[ritsu_kouyou]

There is a certain level of propriety that those in positions of authority should exude. You fail to with that garish green thing with it's tightness.

No one in their right mind wants to see that.

[spandexisyouth]

[Gai shook his head.]

Do you often rush in and judge people? Does it ever get you anywhere? Because I do not expect that it does.

[ritsu_kouyou]

[Yes. All the time.]

I have no issues with getting what I want.

[spandexisyouth]

You are not going to get what you want in this. I am going to wear what I am comfortable in, and teach what I am comfortable in, and I will not change who I am for you. Especially when you did not even take the time to ask my name before attacking what I wear.

[Gai's hands go to his hips.]

Now. Did you have something you were looking for more information on?

[consider8]

[Meanwhile, in a not petty part of the morning...]

Hello, excuse me, sir. I'm new to all this. So, how does this work exactly?

[spandexisyouth]

[Gai blinks at her. She looks like Vriska, but... not quite. Maybe a younger her? Which means maybe not a crazy person. That would be nice.]

Welcome! I am Gai, and this works by being divided into zones. You can decide what you would like to train and go to that area. For instance, if you need some advice on your form or techniques, you would go to the instruction area. If you are a Weapon and do not know your form yet, you can go to the Weapon Transformation area, and so on! What are you looking to do?

[consider8]

[The look-alike Vriska smiled. He was certainly energetic and full of the vigor of youth.]

Hello Gai. My name is Aranea. It's nice to meet you.

[She took a look over to the different areas, her eyes focusing on the food. It suddenly occurred to her that she hadn't eaten since arriving here, two days ago. Her stomach reminded her that this wasn't a good idea by growling for food.]

Well... I was going to try to learn more about being a weapon. But it seems I have other plans...

[spandexisyouth]

[Oh. Maybe she was like the Signless, then. Interesting.]

It is nice to meet you as well, Aranea! And please, go eat. There is plenty of time to lean about being a weapon after. This goes on for three hours every morning.

[It wasn't good for someone to be going hungry.]

Are you getting enough food at other times? Because that is not a good sound for your stomach to be making.

[consider8]

[Aranea laughed meekly.]

I forgot that I should probably be eating.

But at least I know that food will not effect the transformation.

[spandexisyouth]

You...

[Gai's not sure how that happens, but it concerns him.]

You should not forget that again. There is free food for people who were brought here, like us. There is no reason to not eat and bodies need food!

[consider8]

That is true. I do feel a bit guilty about that idea. Shouldn't the people providing the food be given something for their kindness? They need it too.

[She is politely looking over the reason why she didn't eat.]

[spandexisyouth]

Those who provide it are paid for what they do, and they are reimbursed for the supplies! But I am talking about regularly, at the grocery store, we are given food as well. We did not have a choice in coming here and so needs are taken care of.

[punches]

[ Look at who finally decided to show up today. Sakura's a bit uncertain about all of this after visiting for a while and discovering more about her Weapon form. Maybe he can point her in the right direction.

Or at least point out where she might train with someone if she dragged them out here. ]

Hey!

[spandexisyouth]

[Gai turned and beamed at her.]

Sakura-chan! Hello! It is good to see one of Kakashi's students here! What can I do for you?

[punches]

[ With a wave of her hand, she stopped before him. ]

Suppose you can't tell me if Kakashi-sensei is here, huh? [ It was worth it to ask as she lowered her arm. ] Or anyone else really. I think it might be better if I work from those from Konoha first. That way they have an understanding of how we were trained and can use that knowledge to help me.

[ In short, playing catch up required as little hurdles as possible. ]

[spandexisyouth]

I left the house with Kakashi still in bed. He does not come often because he is being lazy and says that training with me makes up for his laziness.

[Gai shook his head, frowning, to show his opinion of that.]

But I know Lee is here, and Neji, and Tenten! And I believe I saw Obito around.

[punches]

[ That answer could only bring her face into the palm of her hand. Sensei pls. ]

Maybe he'll start coming more often if Naruto-kun and I show up. [ It's worth a shot, right? ] I'll send him messages to scold him for being late and everything. The mirror will actually be convenient then.

It must be pretty nice to have those three here, huh? [ His team compared to Team Kakashi... They are kind of broken in all honesty. ] Obito's here too?

[spandexisyouth]

Perhaps he will! And if you are getting after him as well he will have more reason to come!

[Gai eams at the first question.] I am glad to have all of my students here. Blessed, even! It was some time before Tenten showed up, but then she did and my team was whole. And yes. Obito has been here for a couple of months now.

[punches]

With our combined efforts, results are sure to improve in our favor.

[ Sheepishly, she would give a quick nod of the head. Of course she knew he Obito was here in this world, but she meant at training herself. It had been dumb to ask - who wouldn't be here from the village after all? ]

It sounds like a great reunion. Really, it does. I'm happy for you guys.

[spandexisyouth]

They are! Hard work can overcome anything!

[Clearly he should have spoken with Sakura more often back home; he had no idea she'd be this agreeable to working on Kakashi's habits. He rubs his neck at the last comment, looking down.]

I... did not know him well when we were children. It is more a good reunion for Kakashi.

[More or less. When guilt wasn't bothering him.]
