Jan. 20th, 2015 10:01 am[The recent post made by WTF (or WoTF) has finally prompted Kushina to make an entry again, addressing this world at large and the people in it. Or at least those that can see this.
First, a deep breath.]
I don't know if anybody has been thanked for all the effort, for putting their lives on the line to save this world by those of us who don't remember how bad it was. There were people who made this place better for everyone and went back in time. It still sounds ridiculous to me and kind of impossible but this world is good at making impossible things possible, isn't it? [Like bringing people back to life.
Minato was good at it too. Space-time and doing impossible things.]
So... thank you. [At the end, her voice nearly cracks and she bows her head before lifting it again.
Now. Her smile is sad.]
It seems like we can go home soon, huh? That's good. We should go home because that's where we belong. Even if we have a choice to stay, we should go home in the end. So many people have fought for us to do just that. They're still fighting. If we don't go home, isn't it just like scorning those people and all their efforts? Isn't it forgetting who we are?
Don't be so selfish about wanting to stay here. There's a million other people in different timelines and worlds that don't. You should all work hard too to overcome your weaknesses so you're not stuck here anyway. There's people who do want to go home but they're going back to a place worse than this. Because it's home! Even if it's going back to their own death or being alone!
Even if it means losing everything here that is precious...
[A long, pregnant pause and Kushina finishes with a question after shaking her head a little.]
How many of you were given a second chance by being here?
[She closes the journal immediately after.]

[Later, a voice post pops up from Kushina. She sounds agitated so she gets right to the point.]
Is there a shampoo or pill around here that makes your hair grow faster?
[sounds of Minato blubbering in the background
to which Kushina responds with a flustered:]
It’ll grow back, ya know!
[MINATO’S NEAR SOBBING… only not.]
But, Kushina…
It’s not the end of the world, Minato!
Still, your hair… [Pauses as hewipes his tears clears his throat.] I suppose I’m just not used to it being this short? [Sheepish smile but Kushina definitely knows it’s because he adores her long hair sobs.]
I’m not used to it either… [A pause where she reaches up to run her fingers through the strands like she used to but it’s just. NOT. THERE. and her fingers grasp at air.
Ah, yeah. That’ll take some getting used to.]
Um, you can have this?
[She’s holding out all the hair that had gotten cut off with an awkward smile.
Which Minato accepts with a sad, albeit still sheepish, smile.]
Thank you. [He looks down at them. DEFINITE SADNESS IN THOSE EYES ABUBU.] I guess…?
[Silence for a long minute where the two of them just look at Kushina’s beautiful, long locks of hair in his hand.]
... I wonder if someone can make a wig out of it.
[Again, silence follows that suggestion with Minato just slowly looking up at Kushina with wide, blue eyes which clearly asks the question, “You’re not serious, are you?”]

Jan. 25th, 2014 07:57 pm[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.]

Sep. 11th, 2013 04:27 pm[The screen adjusts a few times, a little blurry, until Kushina comes into focus. There's a deep breath.]
Has anybody heard about how that mission is going in the desert?
[Then Kushina moves, starts pacing around the dining room of the Uzumaki home quickly while her mouth runs. That question is about the extent of her patience with the situation. She appears in and out of the frame as she marches back and forth.]
The Malnosso asked for people to go on this mission out in Region Nine or something. I can't remember the details very well. All I know is they wanted us to work for them.
I don't get it.
The Malnosso wants to use us to protect them? Is that supposed to be a joke? After the experiments and the memory modifications and all the other crap they've done to us, they really think they can ask for this sort of thing? To work together? What the hell have they ever done besides hide behind a barrier and use us for test subjects?
And that Zomo-bastard, too.
I still don't know who the bad person is here. I didn't know before back at home when war was always going on and I don't know now. All anybody ever does is fight. Maybe we're all just idiots against with each other for some stupid reason no one even remembers.
And why even have experiments in the first place? That makes me think that this mission is just another one of their stupid experiments, too. Last time a lot of people got hurt! Physically and emotionally! They'll just keep doing this over and over.
...I just--! [Her voice softens but is no less full of emotion.]
I don't want anyone else to be hurt.
[Finally she quiets down and then reaches over quickly to stop broadcasting. That was probably too much. She had only meant to ask if anyone had heard from those on the mission.]

[At first, not much registers on the journal other than a long bout of nothing but the clatter of someone working on something, It's only after it stops does Kushina’s voice finally pipe up.]
--Here, what about this?
[She sounds a bit nervous and when nothing is said for too long (it’s really like ten seconds) she prompts with an impatient;]
Well? How is it?
Hmmm.... [Naruto’s voice can now be heard, humming to himself as he contemplates something.]
Yup! It’s good!
... Really?
Yeah, of course it is! There’s no way he’s not gonna like it, and even if he doesn’t for whatever reason it’d be his loss, ‘cause we’d get to keep it for ourselves y’know?
[Kushina’s laugh is softer than usual, warmer. There’s a ruffle as she pats down blond hair teasingly.]
Well then, I”ll make extra.
Yosh! [There’s a soft thump and suddenly his voice sounds louder- because now he’s leaning over the journal.] So what d’ya want me to do now?
Do you think you can preoccupy your dad and make sure he doesn’t come in here?
[There’s challenge and humor and something ELSE in her voice as she asks this, it’s always there when she’s talking to or about Naruto, in any case.]
Unless you want to stay and keep helping me... [The sentence trails off and it's obvious she's distracted with something now.]
It’ll spoil the surprise if he comes in now right? Maybe I can get him to go train with me or something.
[There’s a shuffling sound as Naruto chuckles to himself, shortly followed by the opening of a door as he calls back..]
See you later, Mom!
Wh- Hey! Just don’t forget about tonight, ya know?!
[It’s completely silent now with only one person in the house; no laughter or excited chattering over what they were doing to do today or predicting how surprised Minato was going to be later. So she turns to the journal to maybe find someone to talk to and notices it’s recording.
There’s more silence, awkward, until finally a she blurts in a fluster.]
Ah, er! Whatever you heard... you didn’t hear it, okay?
[OFF IT GOES.]

[1. Earlier, Kushina is seen rushing around a store, having too much in her arms and dropping a whole lot of it sometimes in her haste. She grumbles to herself and tries picking it back up, but ends up spilling more and making a whole lot of noise. This happens quite a few times throughout the store and as she's shopping--
Until she decides to use her new blue apron as a basket because who uses shopping carts?
2. Even earlier than that, she's a flash of bright red hair running through Luceti at top speed. And since she's had plenty of practice, the wings give her a higher velocity as they beat against her back.]
