Accidental Video
[The PCD clatters onto the floor at a weird angle, and it's not immediately apparent that the woman it just barely has on-screen, on her knees and breathing as if she can't, quite, is Anko until she pulls a hand away from her neck and stares at it. ]
(
This is an out-of-character cut because Anko is Anko and self-destructive violence, PTSD flashbacks and pantslessness are all varying levels of bad. )
It takes him a long time to pluck up the courage to go and talk to her, but very carefully he knocks on her door.]
Oi... Mitarashi-sensei?

Nevermind the fact she still has no pants on.]
What is it, Uzumaki?

It's difficult to remember what to say. He's seen a lot of pairs of legs thanks to Ero-sennin, and yet-- they sort of, lure his eyes.]
Uh.

Like what you see?

I thought it was just last week. You got the... mark thing. Same as-- Uh. Same as before.
Reply
It's-- Not the same, but...
[She lets out a huff. How to explain this to the loud blond one?] Mine's sealed, more or less. Last week... it wasn't. So, no, not the same. What's it to you?
Reply
It's sealed.
I just. I got a friend, who has a friend, and... they have one of those. I just--- Orochimaru gave y'it?
Reply
Sandaime-san's work, the sealing.
Uchiha, the younger one, right? 'Course he did. Back... back when I was his student. [She's interested to see how he'll take that little piece of information...]
Reply
Oh. Right.
Wait, what? You were Orochimaru's student? But you're! You're back in the village!
Reply
Orochimaru wasn't always a traitor and S-class criminal, you know. Or did Jiraiya-sensei never tell you even that much? [She's really kind of curious about that.]
Reply
Eh. Ero-sennin told me loads! It... I just didn't think about, if y'got it when he was still in the village. That ain't really...
[His hand drops to his stomach, but this really isn't the same. Orochimaru had given Sasuke the seal because he wanted to use his body - lure him out of Konoha. So why would he have given it to his pupil?]

Really what?

It ain't really... normal? [There's a frown. That word doesn't seem to apply to much.]

Yeah, but- didn't he have t'like... tell someone or somethin'? I mean... you could have died, right?
Reply
I didn't. Everyone else did. Die, I mean. One out of ten survive, and I was the lucky one. [And yes, she's aware she's telling him there's a 90% chance his friend could have died in that forest.] He didn't tell anyone. I didn't tell anyone because he said not to, and soon after that... Well, after that he left the village, so.
