[Like everyone else, Kushina is confused by the crap ton of new arrivals and their lack of wings. Only she's going to question the whole network about it instead of keeping it to herself. Maybe someone will know the answer.

She's hanging out by the bakery when she makes her post, so maybe you'll overhear her if you're around.]

I have a question. Why don't any of the new arrivals in Luceti have wings this month? I thought you needed them to be here.

[Silence... for a while, until there's a plucking/ripping sound and immediately afterward a loud;]

OWWWW!!

['Ttebane. She drops the journal, turning it off.]

[fervidity]

[That's... true. Minato was by no means cruel -- not to her, nor intentionally. In fact, he doesn't even play pranks. She relaxes.

And then gets angry.]

I'm so sick of the Malnosso! And their dumb experiments! Where the hell are they!

[PUNCHES AN OPEN PALM AND MOVES TO STOMP OFF AND FIND THEM

Not this was playing on her fears.]

[derpivity]

[Nope, not going anywhere like that. The hand still holding hers gives a light squeeze to prevent her from stomping off to find them. There's no way, at least for now, to find them especially with the barrier on.]

Kushina, don't.

[His tone is relaxed as if to balance her temper.]

We will have our way with them when the time comes, but not for now. I think there's a bigger Shift going on here, something to do with bringing in more people. [Now that he thinks about it, Kushina probably met another him who doesn't know her. He did meet the First Hokage (and Madara fff) earlier, after all.] People we know and people we don't, regardless of time.

[He pauses as he frowns.] Regardless of who they are.

[fervidity]

[She's jerked to a stop, looking at him with a deep frown and not calmed down in the least despite his sound reasoning. Considering how this place worked, it wasn't unheard of.

But she's no less pissed off.]

Yes, now! They're just going to keep doing it, ya know!
