( OPEN )
Who: Momkura &: fam (Sasuke, Naruto, Sakura-hime), Setsuna, and YOU.
When: 6/7 and onward.
Where: Caissa, Dunyaland, Lasker in general.
What: Adult woman takes water fights too seriously, a "family" outing, and some snooping. General job log, in other words.
Rating: This will be a family friendly log!!we hope.
A - the one with super soakers. (caissa, OPEN)
[ One might think that, once someone's become a parent, they give up their childish whims. They become dignified and adult, either out of a desire to be a good role model or the absence of anything remotely resembling free time. Especially as a... well, she's not a single parent, but Sarada was largely raised by her mother alone, so you'd think Sakura would have grown out of things like chucking water balloons at civilians.
And she did, kind of. That sort of prank was more Naruto's schtick, but while he was almost always the mastermind and instigator, Sakura used to play along, and motherhood had never truly taken that mischievous side away from her. Just because she's more serious than she used to be doesn't mean she's had her sense of humor surgically removed, and she's getting paid to do this. Why shouldn't she have a little fun with it?
"A little fun" for a ninja, though, involves treating it like war games, except with one of these pump-action water guns instead of the sharp steel she's used to. Driven into an alley to reload, her back to the wall and her wet hair sticking to her forehead and cheekbones, she looks up as another hero takes refuge in the same secluded spot, likely chased in there by the same herd of civilian teenagers that had ganged up on her. ]
They got you too, huh?
B - the one with the role reversal. (caissa, CLOSED to setsuna)
[ Later that day — much later — Sakura has relinquished her water gun in order to finally escape the chaos, mostly because she's been at it for hours without rest or food. Hardly a first for her, of course, but this is a street festival, not a literal war. She's soaked, of course, but even in the waning light of early evening it's warm enough that she's no longer dripping wet. She has her arms crossed to keep warm as the night cools, wandering among the multitude of food vendors, stopping occasionally to see what they're offering.
Not that she's that picky an eater, but man could she go for some dumplings right now... ]
C - the one with family trips. (dunyaland, CLOSED to sakuras & naruto & sasuke)
[ Naruto, as she expected, hadn't taken much convincing to come along. She knew Sasuke would be a harder sell, but when she went to his room, she hadn't expected Sakura-chan to open the door instead. Remembering the girl from one of her first days here, remembering sitting in the hall and consoling her in her homesickness and loneliness, Sakura doesn't even hesitate or think about it before she offers for her to come with them to Lasker.
As they walk through the sprawling amusement park, it oddly hadn't even occurred to Sakura that they might be mistaken for being blood related until she heard a passing couple remark that they make a sweet family. It takes her off guard, and she has a brief, sudden pang of homesickness herself. She misses her daughter.
Before anyone notices her pause (she hopes), Sakura distracts herself by pointing out the nearest attraction. ]
Oh, look, they have a haunted house.
D - in which there's detective work. (lasker, OPEN)
[ The flashing neon lighting reflects oddly on hair like Sakura's. She stands in front of the Double Duo arena, looking contemplative, but it doesn't look like she's going in there quite yet. Instead, she absent-mindedly flicks the corner of a playing card.
You do not find her, she finds you sounds like the sort of thing you'd say about someone in Sakura's profession — the profession she had at home, that is. It turns out to be true, and while the brief, cryptic meeting gives her another direction and a reason to be wary, it leaves her with a lot more questions than she went into it with. For example: ]
So what's Double Duo about? [ She says this to whatever hero happens to be nearby, or to herself, it's not really clear... ]

i'm going to pretend this ride is like haunted mansion
(How is everyone else taking this so well?! Even Naruto is being so brave... she really is a big baby...)
They load themselves into the cars, with Sakura squeezing in next to Naruto. By this point, she's so jumpy with lowkey terror that when the car finally lurches forward, she jumps and clamps her arms around his, her eyes squeezing shut. ]
Eep! [ It takes her a second to realize it's just the car moving... the ride has barely started and she's already acting like a wimp... this is so embarrassing. ] S-Sorry...
boo
Sakura feels bad when she hears the girl yelp. There's being scared in a fun way and there's being scared in an unfun way and she worries that for the youngest member of their group, it's going to be mostly the second one... she cranes her head to look at their car, and can't help but smile. They're cute: Naruto and his false bravado, with Sakura clinging to him. ]
this is like 03827928347 years old!!
He really isn't easy to scare, not like he was as a kid. Mostly he's here to get a private kick out of Naruto screaming. ]
watches yall continue to be rood
It's okay, Hime-chan. We're gonna-
[Their car turns the corner, following their friends along the track and plunging them into darkness. On cue a wave of ghostly figures rise up from the floor and begin to soar through the room. Goodbye bravado.
Naruto's voice jumps two octaves.]
WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?!
no subject
Never mind.
Instead, Naruto creates a endless feedback loop of terror, which Sakura starts yelling because he's yelling. So much for him staying strong. ]
W-Wahhhhh! [ More spooky Noirian figures soar around their car, followed by one in particular that pops up right in front of them, making Sakura scream louder and bury her face in Naruto's shoulder. ]
i'm always rood
But when her head drops forward into her hands, it's not because she's trying to cover her eyes or hide. She's honestly trying to keep herself from laughing. ]
no subject
Sasuke thinks, briefly, of how their daughter and Naruto's son would act in a situation like this. He shifts his hand and covers his wife's own at the thought.
As they inch through the ride, a coffin pops up and what looks like a vampire tumbles close to their car. Sasuke leans away from it, despite himself, pressing back into his seat. ]
