[001] (VIDEO) New Horizons

[ The computer switches on, recording jerky images of dust settling before the frame-rate catches up and the lag disappears. Audio is muffled when someone crosses the field of camera view, visible from roughly the chest down. They're brushing bits of wood and drywall off themselves as audio picks up clearly for the first time. ]

What the hell

[ Too busy dealing with the aftermath of elbowing the wall down recent events to note any particular staring and/or lack of active audio feed. Sorry, Sasuke. No bewildered recognition yet for you. D= ]

[Oh, that's quite all right. He was rather content to observe for the time being.

Still, something should be said. It's been awhile, after all, hasn't it? So have that: a coolwashed tone, offering no emotion one way or the other, save for that touch of arrogance.]

So, you've been brought here as well.

[ On the list of things she wasn't expecting, right next to flying donkeys was Sasuke's being here.

...In a haunted apartment complex. What the hell does he do with his time? ]

[Video-Audio: Voice]

[ghostsofspring]

Where are you.

[ Last time they met, it'd just been his name. Let's try for a slightly different variety? ]

[Voice]

[flawedrevenge]

Still intending to chase me down, Sakura?

[An even keel voice, though that's not to say he wasn't shot through with surprise himself. But, what was shock anymore in this place after having seen your dead brother alive and well?]

[Voice]

[ghostsofspring]

I don't make promises lightly. How hard do you plan on running?

[ A point of curiosity for her - not to know Itachi's alive, here, but to see Sasuke and know that Itachi wasn't supposed to still be alive back home. They'd been so close to finding him, before being called back to Konoha. Now there was a limited playing field. It's not like she could drag him back to Konoha, but hey. Eventually. ]

[Unmoved, though already he was calculating the probabilities of their meeting (where's when's and how's) - and not just of him.

It was inevitable. But for the time being Sasuke knew the advantage was his, and there was a touch of that in his expression now. A superiority that would offer her no easy outs on this one.]

It didn't take much before.

[Voice]

[ghostsofspring]

And in a static world, that would mean everything.

[ Superiority was nothing new. Even if it provoked parts of herself, made her self-aware of what she hadn't managed yet, and of the... lacks she was working still to rectify, she wouldn't focus on those. ]

[Voice]

[flawedrevenge]

Don't waste your efforts, Sakura.

[Another callous statement for the record. No change from the last time they had met, and no seeming remorse for it either on his side.

There's a moment's pause, a breath that comes out perhaps just a bit too light, and then nothing, the feed severed.]
