video; backdated to Sunday afternoon.

[voudouist]

[The video comes on with a smudged view, dirt (or blood) is being wiped off by pale hands before Himawari is seen.] I think I found it... [It levels off as she stands, Caster is seen behind her, holding something in her hands, before the girls face comes into full view]

Ah, hello? Good, it works. I'm actually looking for... oh um, a doctor,

[underachieves]

Don't let anyone near him.

[voudouist]

[Is that.

Is it.

It is.]

FUCK. NO.

[underachieves]

[IGNORING YOU, BITCH.]

[ voice ]

[controllingluck]

Shikamaru-san? [Frowning over at the head. Damn he's loud. And that was a loud reaction...] He needs... someone to ah, help though...

ACTION... as a head.

[voudouist]

Don't let him near me, that fucking snakeeyed asswipe is the one who did this to me!

[Going to make life as hard for Shikamaru as possible? Yes.

YOU SAVED HIM ONCE HIMAWARI DO IT AGAIN.]

[action]

[controllingluck]

[BLINK. Well, now she looks a little startled for more then the fact that a HEAD is talking to her! She looked from the head to Caster and back. Okay, really not surprised by the fact that Shikamaru did it to him, if that's true at all. but she is surprised that they know each other? Weird girl...]

W-why would anyone do this to anyone in the first place?

[voudouist]

Okay that's kind of a real fucking doozy of a story... [He actually lowers his voice, trying not to freak Himawari out, since she seems to be... horrified by the whole situation and might be useful for putting Shikamaru off. He really needs someone who can put him back together!] But the short version is his team attacked me, and I killed one of them but what else would you fucking expect when they attacked first? `[Leaving off the inconvenient point they were there to kill Asuma anyhow.] So I killed this old-ass motherfucker, I guess he was this dude's sugar daddy or something, and he wanted revenge so he blew me up and dropped me in a pit but seriously is that fair when I gave this guy a swift, consecrated death and this other guy dropped a bunch of rocks on me?

[boundbytreason]

Hold on. You killed someone.

[ Caster repeats this without any amusement in her voice. ]

You killed someone, and now you're trying to justify it.

[voudouist]

Bitch, whenever I kill someone it's justified. This guy isn't any better than me anyway.

[boundbytreason]

Really, I'm going to wash out your mouth with soap when this is done.

[voudouist]

Like you'll even get the chance, you cunt.

[boundbytreason]

You say that...but here I am holding only your head, with a decision between handing you over to the one who did this to you -- or deciding against it.

[ Then, very sweetly: ] Now, do you want to try rephrasing that?

[voudouist]

What, you gonna change your mind? You sound like you already wanna play along with him. Like you'd help me out if I licked you out or something?

[boundbytreason]

[ That...last bit sort of went over her head. Was he trying to be like a cat? ]

Oh, please. Since when did I say that I was going to hand you over to him? I'm gathering the details first. But do you really think that your behavior is helping to weigh in your favor?

[voudouist]

It sounds to me like you already decided whose side you're on.

[boundbytreason]

Just because I treat you a little roughly doesn't mean that I have. You shouldn't be so presumptious.

[ She turns, starting to head over to the Dugout with Hidan's head firmly in her grasp. She glances over at Himawari, wanting to see if she follows. ]
