[Ah, payback. Maybe. Or just fun at Gai's expense.]
Hey, Gai. Now that you're sober, maybe it's time we go for drinks again, see what other kinds of shows you can put on while drunk, hm? [chuckles a little]
[A pause. Then, slowly...]
By the way...how much of that night do you remember?

Date: 2009-05-07 02:29 am (UTC)...Great. I'll, uh, have a talk with her, then. I'd asked her to have a look in the lab while she could, but I figured she'd keep it to herself. I underestimated her mouth, I suppose. Thanks for informing me.
Any idea who she told it to? It's too late to filter it, but at least I can get an idea of who knows and what they know.
[Private to Kakashi//Unhackable]
Date: 2009-05-07 02:35 am (UTC)You're welcome.
Me, actually. I've taken it to filter and asked her to be more circumspect, and told her I'd be asking to confirm that she'd be vouched for.
[Private to Maes//Unhackable]
Date: 2009-05-07 02:44 am (UTC)Ah. Well, at least she told the right kind of person. Thanks. I think I may need to reiterate to all of them what it means to be a ninja, though...
[Private to Kakashi//Unhackable]
Date: 2009-05-07 03:26 am (UTC)You're welcome. What does it mean to be a ninja?
[Private to Maes//Unhackable]
Date: 2009-05-07 03:31 am (UTC)Oh, in this case, I just meant in terms of secrecy. I think my fellow nin have been getting quite...chatty over the network. It's really no good if the enemy knows all your intentions, now, is it?
[Private to Kakashi//Unhackable]
Date: 2009-05-07 03:51 am (UTC)It's not. But it wouldn't hurt to be friendly! Your world's group appears to be one of the largest here, and that can be very useful! Ties in the community, and all that. Some of them do a very good job of that.
So nin is the plural of ninja? Is everyone from your world a ninja?
[Private to Maes//Unhackable]
Date: 2009-05-07 04:24 am (UTC)Unfortunately, it also means we involve our allies here in the problems and alliances we've brought with us.
Not exactly. Just a shortening of it. Ninja are more of a military force than anything. Not everyone is a ninja. I suppose it's much like you have Alchemists?
[Private to Kakashi//Unhackable]
Date: 2009-05-07 04:37 am (UTC)Well, yes. But if they've caused problems back home, there's no reason to believe that they'll refrain from it here. Foreknowledge is an asset, and if the community trusts people that are aware of the danger, they're in safer hands.
That makes sense. Though more are in the military than are Alchemists.
[Private to Maes//Unhackable]
Date: 2009-05-07 04:41 am (UTC)True enough.
I see. So the Alchemists are a specialized branch, then?

Date: 2009-05-07 05:20 am (UTC)[Maes turns on the video aspect of the PCD and holds up some newly developed photos before nodding.]
I'm in the military myself, though I'm not an alchemist.

Date: 2009-05-07 06:30 am (UTC)She's very cute. And I'd prefer to be in my jammies, too, if I were her.
[His smile fades slightly as he arches a brow.]
Oh, really... Combat? Or are you more of a "desk job" somewhere behind the scenes?
...I'd take it you know the Colonel Alphonse is currently occupying the body of?
[Private to Kakashi//Unhackable] [Video]
Date: 2009-05-07 08:11 am (UTC)[Maes studies Kakashi for a moment before answering.]
Intelligence. I find the information, solve the cases, and when I have to, attack from the shadows. I don't do much in the way of combat, since most is alchemy, but I'm not incapable.
Roy? Yes. Maybe more than he knows himself! He's been my best friend since our days in training, and he lives with me and Elysia.
[Private to Maes//Unhackable] [Video]
Date: 2009-05-08 03:15 am (UTC)[His expression--what you can see of it--is his typical one, calm, fairly plain.]
Good to know. I'll be interested to know what you've gathered so far while you're here.
Would Roy be a good choice, then, to be part of Minato-sensei's committee? Alphonse didn't seem too sure he would be interested.
[Private to Kakashi//Unhackable] [Video]
Date: 2009-05-08 03:33 am (UTC)Roy... is smart and definitely trustworthy, but he's got a lot of ambition. That's good back home, since we need leadership that isn't so focused on themselves and gaining through war. Frankly, I think he'd be distracted if he was working on this team.
