1st String || {Action in Three parts}
[Action; Locked to Lee (Possibly Neji if he wants)]
[The last thing Kankuro could remember was bright light coming thorough the gaps in Kuroari from the entrapped Edo Tensai revived Deidara. It wasn't blinding, but it was bright enough that he had put up his arm to shield his vision. Hopefully that light meant that someone had managed to find Kabuto and dissolve the Edo Tensai jutsu.
However that didn't explain why his surrounds were suddenly much more confined and dark than the outdoor forest. In fact it felt a lot like the inside of Kuroari, if taller and more square.]
What the hell?
[Kankuro waved his hand through the space in front, only for something smooth and cloth-like to brush against the bare skin of his arms. The tips of his fingers brushed against smooth wood and he blinked in the dark. His mind raced, wondering if he had somehow been trapped in a genjutsu when distracted by the light show. He quickly put his hands together to dispel.]
Kai!
[Not a damn thing changed. Kankuro cursed even as he backed up, trying to put something solid at his back. He felt wood against his bare back, and pressed against it, eyes darting. the smooth cloth was still on his arms, partially entangled due to his rapid movements to dispel earlier. He tried to pull it off, grumbling at the green fabric. It was then he noticed the slivers of light coming from behind him, like daylight through the cracks in a door which had allowed him to notice the color of the cloth. Just as he came to this realization something at his back gave the faint click and the wood at this back opened, sending a startled Kankuro falling backwards, slightly entangled in greenspandex octopus arms clothing.]
Holy-[THUD.
...
... Ouch, that had to smart. Ninja he may be, but sometimes even ninja's reflexes fail.]
[Later Action in CH 1,Ninja Floor; Floor 4.]
[Congratulations floor 4, you now have an irritated, shirtless, face-paint less, Kankuro sitting in your kitchen.
Approach the Puppet master/mysterious dude at your own risk.
Reactions may vary percustomer shinobi.]
[Even Later Later Action.]
[After getting up to speed on the weirdness which is Luceti, Kankuro finally leaves CH 1. It's off to the Clothing Shop to find his clothes, If you stumble across him before he get his clothing, you'll find a rather hunched but moving figure, briskly trying to keep his arms warm and cursing snow, damp and general cold with a fervent passion.
Once dressed for the weather Kankuro then heads over to the Item shop to look for hismakeup face paint and puppet scrolls.
Those tasks complete, he may stop by the Grocery Store more out of curiosity than anything else before heading back to CH1.]
((ooc; Kankuro is FACEPAINTLESS until he finds it at the storeOr until Temari lets him wear her lipstick on his face. So even if your character knows him they may not recognize him. Obvious expection are those who've seen him without it before.))

[Action: The Closet/Lee's room]
[As Neji has discovered, much to his general stress over the last ten months.]
Accepting and rolling with what happens is a part of settling in. For however long you'll be here, this place is what it is.
Re: [Action: The Closet/Lee's room]
Oh. Uh, thanks.
[He looks at Neji and tilts his head slightly before tsking.]
That sounds rather defeatist. Got any info on why we should just roll over and accept it?
[Because it rather sounds like you're giving up, Leaf. And Kankuro never expected to see a leaf guy give up. So either there is a reason for it, or you are a lot less of a ninja than he thought.]
[Action: The Closet/Lee's room]
It is not so simple as rolling in any direction. We are biding our time! And learning as much about the situation as possible. There is just... much constraining us. And even Shikamaru-kun has not figured something out, with all the time he's been here.
[Action: The Closet/Lee's room]
And it's about to get much, much worse.]Because we're imprisoned here, and there's no reliable way to get out. So until whatever vagary of this world that brought us here reverses it, there isn't much else to do.
That's the simple truth of the matter. There's nothing we can do to change the situation.
[Action: The Closet/Lee's room]
He tsks quietly and frowns deeply.]
I don't like waiting. I don't like being imprisoned. I hate being powerless. I really don't like this whole situation at all.
[Just a small Kankuro rant. He sighs and rubs tiredly at his face, limbs still slightly clumsy.]
But, if Shikamaru hasn't figured out anything yet, we must really be in a tight spot.
Who has enough power to hold us here against our will anyways?
[Action: The Closet/Lee's room]
[Action: The Closet/Lee's room]
It's the world itself that brings us here; to my knowledge, no one knows precisely how. But the ones who confine us to this village and its surroundings are a group called the Malnosso; they're trapped in this world as we are, but unlike us, the world doesn't send them back, so they've decided to experiment on us, in an attempt to find out just how it all works, and how everyone can be sent back to their own homes. So they say, anyway.
The reality? Nothing they've done works, and their experimentations tend to do little more than create odd and often disturbing effects in the village. And with the way some of them seem to be seasonal or based around holidays, there is plenty of reason to doubt their good intentions.
[Have a little infodump, Kankuro. Find out the easy way, not the teleported-naked-to-the-middle-of-town way like Neji did.]
[Action: The Closet/Lee's room]
Kankuro listens intently and is not very happy with what he finds out. Great! In the clutches of mad scientists. Just what he wanted for his birthday.]
And I though Orochimaru was creepy.
[Somehow this place and it's scientists managed to one-up that long tongued, snakey bastard. That is a feat.]
Well, that just great. So we are stuck here, no way to escape and subjected to the whims of people who may not have our best interest in mind.
[Kakuro pauses.]
Sounds like Suna under the previous Kazekage.
[Or really, some of the other hidden villages. Not every place was as nice as Konoha.]
[Action: The Closet/Lee's room]
It is he says. It is certainly a very unfortunate situation. But at least we have many allies here in this village.
[Action: The Closet/Lee's room]
It's an uncomfortable position to be in. But we are among friends, and our needs -- save liberty -- are generally seen to. The cage is filled with comforts, at least, if it must be a cage.
[Which is no reason to be happy about it. But at least there's little actual suffering. That's... a mercy, he supposes.]
[Action: The Closet/Lee's room]
[He pauses then gives a crooked grin.]
And we have wings to go with the whole cage thing. Perfect.
[His sense of humor is a bit off.]
[Action: The Closet/Lee's room]
But luckily none of them are late enough yet for the depressing context.]Yes, that is true. This place is still merciful compared to many prisons that I have heard of at home. We can still train here and live as youths, as bound as we are!
[Action: The Closet/Lee's room]
Though I suppose it's little different from home, when you set aside the details.
[Action: The Closet/Lee's room]
We still get to fight here? Sounds like a good way to work of the frustration this place will give you.
[Kankuro shrugs.]
Same shit, different place.
[Action: The Closet/Lee's room]
[Action: The Closet/Lee's room]
And, there are rewards offered. So there are benefits to outweigh the frustration.
