[After getting over the initial freaking out at suddenly being dumped in some strange place without warning, wondering what happened, and eventually figuring out where she is and how the journal works and what it's for... Sakura writes in her journal.

This handwriting is a bit sloppy -- only because the writer is obviously in a hurry to get their thoughts out on paper.]

I'm looking for someone that fits this description:

Blond
Male
17 years old
Wears a lot of orange
Should have an open incision on his left side, around his serratus.

[A quick diagram of a body with an arrow pointing at his left side just under the arm.]

If anyone has seen someone like that, please contact me. It's a medical emergency and he needs urgent care.

[A lot of things just got his attention. At first... Orange. He wore orange. A lot of it. Loved it. He would have commented on that but...]

[Medical emergency took his attention strongly. He doesn't know if she's new, or he's knew. He doesn't know if they have been here or not... so it's a lot of assuming on his part:]

Do you know what crew he runs with? Where he was last? Where have you looked?

[written]

[slugly]

[Crew?]

He was last with me. I've just arrived on Isla Empieza, according to this journal.

[written]

[bepobear]

Oh, so you're new here? If you're new, there's a chance he isn't here. Or, if he was here with you a moment again, he can't have got far, right?

[written]

[slugly]

Yeah, I guess I'm new.

[This takes a bit longer to reply to.]

I hope so.

are you absolutely sure
this situation sounds really serious after all
in which wasting time is highly unadvised

action

[obstinates]

[And perched like a frog on the edge of a little rooftop just over her shoulder sits said individual. He would have interrupted her as soon as he arrived, but she seemed so intent on what she was writing. Naruto knows her temper better than anyone, so he didn't want to just be rude while she was concentrating!

From his spot he can see what she's writing though. When she's done, he finally speaks up:]

Yeah! Good thinking, Sakura-chan! We can find him if we use these books, y'know! Who is it though? Was he hurt?

action

[slugly]

[JUMPS AND WHIRLS AROUND. Wide-eyed and bewildered.]

Naruto? [Blond. Male. Lots of orange. Yep.]

Naruto! You're--!

[Living. Breathing. She doesn't need to be clutching his heart to know it's beating on its own.]

... You're okay. [HOW?]

Re: action

[obstinates]

[He just blinks several times at her strange behavior. Then he slowly glances over one shoulder to make sure she's not talking to some other Naruto or something. Of course he's okay!]

I'm fine, but we've gotta find this serratus guy if he's hurt. Just point me in the last place you saw him and I'll figure it out.

[grandlineswag]

If it was in another land, then your search is fruitless. In any case, it doesn't matter. The situation will be as you left it, once you've returned.

I know this from experience, in fact.

[Voice]

[slugly]

[Just a hint of annoyance because it matters. It matters QUITE a lot.]

What do you mean?

Re: [Voice]

[grandlineswag]

Time. That is what I mean, time is a non-issue.

I was taken from my ship and stranded in this land for weeks. Yet when I returned, no one hour had passed from when I left. No one had even noticed me gone. Nor did I recall this place, not until I was forcibly pulled here again.

[The name signed at the bottom of the note and that description -- though what incision, what the hell -- Sasuke stares at it for a long while before putting pen to paper.]

You're looking for someone named Naruto, aren't you?

[written]

[slugly]

[She recognizes that script

The letters run together, MUCH URGENCY]

Yes. Have you seen him? Could you tell me where?

[written]

[thethundersaid]

[Yes, that definitely confirms it, if there had been any doubt.]

If he's around, you'll hear him eventually. If not, there's no point looking.

[voice]

[abundantlove]

Hm! He definitely sounds like a striking person! I'll keep an eye out for him, Sakura-san!

[voice]

[slugly]

The more eyes the better. [Said in a bit of a lighter tone but still pretty serious.]

I appreciate it. Let me know as soon as possible if you see him. I guess the easiest way is by using these journals?

[voice]

[abundantlove]

Yep! Does he have a name? That will definitely make things easier...

[gokai_red]

[Ah, it's kind of fun to watch these people come in when they're not facing death and peril, for once.]

Sounds like you've got yourself one hell of a handful there.

voice;

[slugly]

[HAHA HANDFUL

not anymore slkdjgs]

And someone to find. You wouldn't have happened to see someone like that, would you?

voice;

[gokai_red]

Nah. I know people who wear a lot of one color, but orange usually ain't one of 'em.

[princelycharm]

I am blonde, male, and turning 17 soon. But orange is really not my colour.

[slugly]

[Orange is a pretty integral part of the person she's looking for.

But just in case...]

Your name isn't Naruto, right?

[princelycharm]

No my lady. That is what you call that cured fish or surimi, found on commoner ramen!
