[Finally, after all this time! Mulder has found that much-desired basketball. He's in luck too, as it's well-inflated, not a sign of wear or tear on it. Too many times, he's come across half-deflated or otherwise messed up ones. But this one is perfect. It's as if there's finally some compensation for all the usual rounds of disappearances and so on. He's really needed this. He starts dribbling the ball right as he leaves the shop and continues bouncing the thing everywhere he goes throughout the day. It can also be heard in the background of his voice transmission.]

Does anyone have any unique birthday traditions they care to share? I wonder how similar these traditions might be between the worlds... Let's just say I'm curious, for purely theoretical reasons.

...By the way, is there anyone out there who'd be up for shooting some hoops or even getting together a pick-up game of basketball? Of course, we'd actually need to throw together a hoop somehow first, but minor details! If you've never played before, I promise I'll go easy on you.

It must require a great deal of training, then? To get to the point of safely using anything like that...

Well, no. I wouldn't say great deal. Once you got the basics on timing down, it's more or less simple. You just have to be dexterous with hand speed, or finger speed. If you wish to summon to wield or toss a weapon with your hands, that's another story entirely.

So the more powerful or complex, the more difficult to get it to work. Like most skills out there. [Mulder nods understanding. Also he can't help but think... how COOL would it have been if the ninjas on his world had access to things like that? What if some of them already have similar!?] I can't wait to see more sometime.

Well, summoning remains the same, except for the slight different between flinging the item so fast it appears as a white streak in the sky and summoning to wield. You don't have to use fingers or hands to toss weaponry if you just go with the scroll flinging them out automatically. However, you have to learn to wield a weapon in close combat purposes, that is, if you choose to store some in the first place. [ She holds up another scroll of a similar size of the first, making sure the glances at it. ]

[Mulder eyes the scroll closely, noticing the similarity.]

That makes sense... you want to know how to use any weapon before using it in the heat of battle, in that way. It seems like a really good method for keeping weapons on hand in general though...

They are. Most ninja can seal things but very few, like me, specialize in them. It can seal more than weaponry though, so if you have a gun, or a grenade, or a ship or a bed or something you can seal it there. They can also be used to store -

[ She tosses the scroll into the air, which summons another larger scroll!

Yep. She really did just do that. The scroll lands comfortably in her hands with a huge smile. ]

A larger scroll!

Scroll within a scroll... and what's the difference with the larger ones, are they more powerful?

The larger scrolls just have more items, usually. I guess if that's how you define powerful, then yes. It just means I have more tools than the smaller scrolls, which have very limited sets and sometimes only one specialized weapon.

That's very useful. You could carry a great deal with just a few of those larger ones...

Yeah. The largest thing I ever carried was an entire ship. It was quite the effort though, let me tell you...

That must have been a sight when you pulled that out...

Quite a few people were surprised, especially since I nearly summoned it on top of them. [ nearly being crushed by a giant ship is not a villains proudest moment! ]

Now that's making good use out of the element of surprise.

[It's impressively cool, maybe a little bit terrifying to think of what sorts of things could be transported that way.]

Yep! I think I may be able to transport things a tad larger. [ ...DO YOU NEED AN ENTIRE HOME TO BE TELEPORTED? ]

That's good to know, should the need arise... [YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN THAT KIND OF THING WILL BE USEFUL.]

Yeah, if you ever need something transported, feel free to contact me! [ IT'S ALWAYS USEFUL. ]

I'm definitely going to be keeping this in mind. [He's used to WEIRD SITUATIONS so he figures it's good to have things in mind for those "just in case" scenarios.]

Glad you will! I enjoy practicing my summoning! [ TENTEN JOINED THE PARTY. ]

It's a good idea to keep up your skills, especially in here. [Victory music!]

Considering how I've never had an opportunity to take a wingless life for granted until now, I definitely agree with that.

It does take some getting used to.

Yeah, but, on the bright side, I have a new target to aim for. [ ...Yep. Who said Tenten played fair? ] So if anyone gets out of hand, they can be taken down quickly without much of a risk to anyone else's safety. [ A hero that cheats.

FOR THE SAFETY OF EVERYONE. ]

Remind me never to get on your bad side. [Mulder figures all is fair if it comes to defeating a nasty enemy. You HAVE to break rules in order to do good as odd as he's sure it seems to... the entire FBI.]

It does level the playing field. We have some powerful entities in our midst, even at half-power in here.

[ Breaking rules to fight evil! A staple of good criminals since 1948! ]

Yeah. I haven't actually got to known who's who in this place when it comes to power but logic dictates that one or two of them would have to exist.

[It's the ONLY WAY sometimes.]

There's been enough turn-over that some have since vanished, but... every so often there's a rampage or similar. It's always better to be cautious.
