- looking forward to seeing Suna again, un?
[he stops mid-stride - something is not right - and he reaches for his clay and finds it-]
Oi, Sasori-no-danna, where the hell are you?
[-gone. genjutsu?]
Kai!
[but nothing breaks (where is his scope, it was on when they left for Suna) and he shifts - uneasily, though he will never admit it out loud - and his ( Read more... )

Oh, a distraction. Hey there! Did you just arrive?
Reply
yeah, out taking a walk and ended up here, un.
[he's suspicious with a healthy dose of paranoia, but-]
you been here long?
[-he gets the feeling he'll need some help figuring this shit out.]]
Reply
Just like that?
[She doesn't believe that.]
No, not much longer than you, if you just arrived.
Reply
yeah. just like that, un. how'd you get here?
Reply
Woke up near the gate, same as you I assume. No one knows what happened before that.

[can he trust anything these people say? he knows at least a dozen ways to kill her but-]
anything interesting in that city?
[-he underestimated Itachi once; the thought sends anger boiling through his veins.]
Reply
[Yes, yes he can.]
A lack of food and shelter. That's about it.
Reply
[the city's beat-up enough that he can understand it, but-]
yeah? so, anyone figure out why it's so beat-up yet?
[-he's seen places in better shape after the war; there's something else he's missing-]
place looks like it went through a war, un.
[-and he doesn't like it.]
Reply
Yes, but there are no signs that warfare actually occurred here. At least, my investigation hasn't led me to believe otherwise.
Reply
[he has never been one for investigations; reminds him of the stories from the war.]
you a police officer or something?
[a frown; if only he had his scope, it would be clear, but-]
... those look like claw marks over there, un.
[-practicality will suffice.]
Reply
[She turns and looks.]
Yes, but they seem like something a wild animal might make. If I could send in a picture to Little Guy he could tell us more.
Reply
see any interesting stuff?
[-what she would make of his art. Sasori-no-danna's art.]
little guy, un?
[he'll keep quiet for now, what he thinks.]
if it's a wild animal ... why hasn't it attacked anyone, un?
[there is something very wrong close by.]
's not like we're armed.
Reply
As for the animal, I assume it's nocturnal.
Reply
[he's seen just about every type of death by now-]
smart animal, un. easier to get close and kill then.
[-is there anything new?]
Reply
Yeah and that's what worries me.
Reply
... sounds fun, un.
[-his grin is tinged with madness.]
I know a guy, he sees people all cut up and shaved; done by a sword, y'know? pretty big thing; never makes a clean cut.
don't suppose we could just track it now? kill it before it kills us, yeah?
