[At first it's just a rustle as Kankuro accidentally kicks on the audio feed while he turns the Forge over in his hands -- the pickup is rubbing against his gloves. He's muttering to himself, but too softly for the feed to really pick up; occasional disjointed words are clear, but that's about it.]So ... hell ... with this thing? ...help ... Gaara

"Crazy Uchiha"?

[And now he's just going to laugh. Can't get away from the Uchiha no matter what, geez.]

... Speaking of...

Voice

[earned_my_eyes]

[He isn't that pleased either, don't feel bad.]

Watch it. [He sighs.] And this isn't my doing. You would know if it was.

Voice

[dance_mypuppets]

Yeah, well, considering the company you're keeping these days, not sure what to expect of you anymore.

... So if it's not your doing, or your dear old ancestor's, whose is it?

Voice

[earned_my_eyes]

You act as if I care what you think or expect. I don't.

As for who did this, we're not entirely sure, though there are a few suspects.

Voice

[dance_mypuppets]

Yeah, you don't care about much of anything anymore, do you?

Oh?

Voice

[earned_my_eyes]

There is one thing.

[He's quiet for a moment, debating over whether to tell him about the twins, before keeping it to himself. Everyone needs to have a few things kept close, after all.]

Hm.

Voice

[dance_mypuppets]

Considering the performance you put on recently, I'm not sure I want to know.

Voice

[earned_my_eyes]

[Recently? And for a moment, he wonders just when Kankuro is from. After all, he's seen this happen before, these different people from different timelines, each with different stories to tell.]

What performance are you talking about?

Voice

[dance_mypuppets]

The All Uchiha All the Time Gatecrasher Show at the summit. Seriously, what other performance would I be talking about?

Voice

[earned_my_eyes]

[He didn't know, Sasuke didn't remember any summit; the last thing he recalled was heading out to find the eight-tails. Which meant...this summit business happened after him. It all brought up more questions, but for the moment, he stalled them, kept them hidden; there would be time later to ask them.]

I wanted to make sure we were talking about the same thing.

Voice

[dance_mypuppets]

Oh? So what other shenanigans have you been up to that would rival that?

Voice (ack, my html fail >O )

[earned_my_eyes]

Really, what I do is none of your business.

Voice (Happens to the best of us)

[dance_mypuppets]

When it involves Akatsuki, you'd better believe it's my business. And just about everyone else's, too. War does that.

Voice

[earned_my_eyes]

[War? This was getting more interesting by the second, wasn't it now?]

Fine, nose around if you want, but I don't have to tell you anything. And I won't.

Voice

[dance_mypuppets]

Nah, you don't have to. But if your dear old granddad starts prancing around this place, there may be some reassessment going on.
