002nd saving smile [voice]

[selfdoubt]

[The journals will be graced by a familiar, soft voice that was quiet for a while.]

I... see that I am back in this place once more. [The voice sounds resigned yet concealed by an otherwise neutral tone. Hinata's really not too happy to be back.] I suppose that the others are still here, then?

[There's a pause as she begins recalling her memories. It takes some time since these memories are still a bit hazy.] Kiba-kun, Shikamaru-kun...? Tenten-san, Sakura-san...

[She trails off because the next name she's going to say is being held back by this lump in her throat.]

... Naruto-kun? Are all of you still here? [Before she waits for a response, Hinata is already on the move.] I- I will be heading back to my apartment. I will see you all, then. Please be well.

[And the voice transmission cuts.]

Hello!

[generalflirt]

Oh, oh, my building's getting that much sexier again?

[oftheyin]

You know Tenten?

[kamiyandisease]

Eh? Nodoka-san... Is that really you!? [THEY SOUND SIMILAR...]

Voice 1/2

[keepitcanine]

[Well, someone's finally paying attention to the network for the first time today. There's some loud, high-pitched whines in the background courtesy of Akamaru. Well, what do you know, someone else besides the totally audacious guy is happy to hear you.]

[keepitcanine]

Hinata?

[Give him a second]

Woah. Hey. Oi! Hinata! I know this place is shit, but you would not believe—

[Woah, wait.]

Hey!

[Did she seriously just end the transmission?]

[voice]

[dangerouswind]

Pretty sure they're still here.

[Voice]

[selfdoubt]

[At that sudden greeting, Hinata blinks. The enthusiasm can't help but make her smile, though.]

Ah- hello there. [She tries to remember if she had spoken to this voice before and figures she hasn't yet.] I'm afraid I haven't... conversed with you before?

[voice]

[selfdoubt]

[WHAT IS THAT QUESTION MASAOMI AJKHKHL]

I- I beg your pardon?

voice;

[selfdoubt]

[She nods.] Mm, yes, I do. She is a capable ninja from our world and is teammates with- with my cousin.

[selfdoubt]

[Nodoka-san? ... Eh? Hinata blinks once and twice before pulling a lopsided smile.]

Oh- um, I'm sorry but I'm not Nodoka-san. [Maybe she and this person just sounds similar?] My name is Hyuuga Hinata. I apologize if I am not the one you were looking for.

1/2 /o/ <3

[selfdoubt]

[The moment Kiba called out to her, Hinata opens the journal again with a wide, relieved smile.]

Ah, Kiba-kun! It's you!

[selfdoubt]

[Then, she smiles a bit sheepishly after realizing how rude she became.]

I am sorry for suddenly cutting off the transmission- I was not expecting- [She cuts off, trying to re-word her sentence.] I thought you would not still be here.

[voice]

[selfdoubt]

I- I suppose you're right, Temari-san. [She really doesn't know what to add after that since it's not often she gets to talk to the sand nin.]

[Voice]

[savedtheworld]

Nope! I'm new here. My name's Aang! What's yours?

[Voice]

[selfdoubt]

I see. I- I would have thought so.

[Her smile widens even if Aang can't see it.] My name is Hinata. It's nice to meet you, Aang-kun.

1/2

[keepitcanine]

The one and only.

[Have a "woof" too!]

[keepitcanine]

It's okay.

[He laughs.]

...I'm not sure whether to interpret that sentiment as optimism or pessimism though.

[selfdoubt]

[She's happy to hear Akamaru too! But her happiness wanes when she hears his last statement. Is she really being pessimistic?]

Ah, I apologize if it sounded... pessimistic. I was just... [Just what?] I do not know what should feel upon arriving in this place.

[keepitcanine]

I was just joking with you, but uh—

[He frowns.]

Everything okay?

[Voice]

[savedtheworld]

It's nice to meet you too! Are you having trouble finding your friends?

[Voice]

[endgames]

[...oh she's back. And she remembers?]

You haven't been gone long.

[voice]

[dangerouswind]

I am right.

[Voice]

[selfdoubt]

Oh, it's fine. I'm sure I will be able to find some of them later. [Really, with these eyes? She can find practically anything or anyone.]

How- how about you? Do you have your friends here as well?

[selfdoubt]

Y- Yes, of course. [Lies.] Everything is fine. [And to divert it from herself--] How about you, Kiba-kun? Have you been doing well?
