[When Nagato woke up, he was more than a bit confused, especially with the way sunlight was filtering through the window off to his right and shining down into his face. There were multiple reasons why this was confusing.

First, last he'd checked he'd been outside. Second, he was on something squishy, which indicated a bed or futon, most likely. Third, not even a moment ago he'd been returning to being dead. Somehow, the last seemed to be the most glaring of these points, and he finally cracked open his eyes, squinting against the light before pushing himself to a seated position.

The gesture was more than enough to alert him to the tug of something on his back, and looking over his shoulder to see the bright crimson wings... It almost made him laugh, because Konan was the angel, not him. He was just the idiot who mucked everything up trying to be a god. Something in the universe clearly had a sense of humor.

A look around found him his clothes, which he was admittedly reluctant to pull on given that they'd been what he'd been wearing while revived, but he finally tugged on the dark cloak and got off the bed, peeking around doorways before heading out into the communal hall to make his way outside.

If this was the afterlife, then he intended to explore!]

(OOC: Feel free to catch him anywhere from his room to outside somewhere, he'll be using the stairs in the first apartment building to head out.)

[He nodded at once, a smile touching his lips again... before right back to the frown as he leaned in, looking him over.]

You're not supposed to be dead too Naruto.

[That has him confused. Eh?]

That's 'cause I'm not dead.

[He's going to just... be confused now then.]

But I'm dead. Or... am I not dead again?

[Ah. Nobody told him yet. Flashing a grin, he replies.]

Nope. You're not dead. Everyone in this place is alive, it ain't the afterlife or anything like that.

[Okay so he's not dead... and he isn't revived via the Edo Tensai anymore... then... Wings...?????]

Ah. Then what is this place?

It's called Luceti. It's uh-- well it's hard to explain, but the point is we're not dead, we're just all sorta stuck here for now. It's not so bad though-- there's a lot of other Konoha ninjas here too.

[Oh. OH!!]

Konan's here too!

[...But most Konoha shinobi really wouldn't want to see him, he was sure. Especially after their last meetings. Though it's a relief that Naruto won't be here long, isn't... there a war on?

There are far more important things at hand though.]

Konan is here?

[Yeah, that hasn't dawned on him yet. Everything's cool as far as he's concerned but it probably will come up at some point soon, though. ]

Yeah! I dunno where she lives, but I know she's here. We talked a few times.

[It would be pretty impossible to miss, yeah. Nagato is just going to have a joyous time with all these shinobi.]

Thank you, I'll have to look for her. [He smiled, and then went back to their previous topic.]

So. Did the war... end then?

Did you find your magic book thing yet? 'Cause you can use it to send messages to her.

[If not, he'll do it in a moment. Before that though... Urgh explaining this stuff is hard.]

No.. I was on the battlefield then just woke up here one day. People've come from a bunch of different times, some are from days or months before me, some are from after.. but they all reckon that the way it works is that you're here the same time as being there, or something.

Oh and, dead people come too sometimes, but I guess you know about that already, obviously.

[His last words drew a wry smile out of him, and he nodded. It would be kind of hard for him to miss the dead part.

He'll be happy not to make it round three of being dead by the way, so he'll be very sad later if not everyone is as friendly as you. Not that he expects them to be of course but...]

And the wings are... just something this place does?

Yeah, everyone's got them. See? [He lifts his jacket up, enough to show the orange wings he has tucked inside.]

But! You can't try and take 'em off or anything, people say that if you hurt them badly, you're gonna die. Again.

....

......

Twice is more than enough for any one person I believe. I'll simply have to deal with the strangeness of looking like an Angel when I in no way deserve it.

[He sighed a little. Naruto had said there were a lot of people from Konoha here.]

But thank you for the warning.

No prob!

[Yay, he's done his part.]

Do you know where you're livin' or anything yet? And like I said earlier there's a lot of Konoha guys here. They might recognise you.. well, the eyes y'know? From that time.

[When you flattened the city. Yeah, even Naruto knows there may be issues there.]

[He pointed back at the building he'd woken in given that he hadn't strayed too far from it before being half run down.]

I woke in that building on what I believe is the seventh floor.

[No need to remind him, he's already making the list. Never gonna apologize enough. Ever.]

Hey, which room? [So he knows, for later.]

I don't live here, I live across that ways a bit. [He's pointing.] I was just here visiting some guys.

[Give him a moment as he tries to remember.]

Ah... 32. Yes. That was the one that I was placed in.

32? Well I live in the house over in- [Let's assume he gives specific details about it here :|] You should come over!

[He blinked at the declaration and gave him a little smile. Okay, that he could handle.]

If you're sure?

[He blinks back. He probably should put more thought into that offer, but he hasn't.]

Yeah, I mean.. it should be okay right? Your different to when you were trying to destroy Konoha, people've gotta see that.

[The little smile faded, and he looked rather solemn for a moment before sighing.]

I did things that are very hard to forgive Naruto. You're special, my kohai, the person who will carry on where I failed...

But not everyone is like you.

Yeah, I know. Which is why I've gotta try and do something about it. It'll do no good if people are fighting with each other.

So! You've gotta come over. Maybe later, or tomorrow or something, yeah? There's people I want you to meet.

I... tomorrow. [He glanced down at his clothes, then back to Naruto, his expression turning wry.]

Maybe after finding something that doesn't announce I was dead recently?

Sure, tomorrow. You're gonna want to go find Konan anyway, right?

[Looking at the clothes, he doesn't see much wrong with it it? But he can offer help regardless.]

Oh! Well there's shops here with clothes in, you don't need money for them either.

[He nodded when Konan was brought back up, because that was exactly so, and smiled over the offer of information.]

Thank you Naruto. I'll contact you in the morning then?

[His tone turned wry.]

You were in a hurry, weren't you?
