Meat n' Greet

Oct 01, 2011 00:17

The rest of the crew assembled on the Observation Deck to meet the latest editions to their numbers. After the revelation that their worlds are gone, many of them are even more eager to see people they knew from home.

Several people are set up near the doors to provide the new people with omnicoms and comm rings. They are also told they must read ( Read more... )

Her answers were probably not going to help her case, but luckily there was some kind of saving grace for her. That voice was a welcomed thing to calm her nerves, for a bit, anyway. Smirking a little to herself she turned her attention from Orochimaru very pointedly and raised a hand towards Mei in greeting.

"Of course not, why would I be doing that?" Her own voice had a still agitated tone to it, indicating she'd been pretty ready to fight from the moment she saw her former teammate, but at least there was some sort of calming force near her now. "Just catching up with someone from the past, I'm sure you've heard of him before, Mei?"

Someone he had never met, but whose image he knew well enough. Renegades had their own bingo books, after all, and Kabuto had a knack for information.

Well now. Two Kages on this ship. Either they were friends, or they were putting on a show of friendship to intimidate him. If they were friends, then nothing changed; Tsunade's hesitation and bluster from earlier simply meant the two of them together were, in her estimation, no match from him. If they were putting on a show, then nothing changed; it meant they feared him.

Orochimaru smiled broadly. "For all that he couldn't bring himself to take care of matters himself, Sarutobi certainly made sure I was properly labeled as a renegade."

Mei was wary, certainly, but if he started something, why she could merely claim self-defense and get him tossed in the brig. That sounded like a wonderful idea. So she kept herself smiling and carefree on the outside, affording him no attention whatsoever.

"Of course; you three are famous, my dear. It's such a shame such a brilliant and talented ninja went to waste in such a way. Wasn't he killed by the Uchiha boy? Maybe he'll do the rest of the ship a favor and kill him again."

And if Orochimaru and Sasuke got into it, even better. Two threats removed.

Tsunade couldn't help a soft snort at Orochimaru's words, deciding that ignoring him clearly was the better option of the two at the moment. Particularly because Mei was far more interesting in her own, personal, opinion. So she kept up a bit of a calmer act, smiling at the other before affording a glance at Orochimaru to make sure that he wasn't running off somewhere to do who knew what.

"Sometimes I forget. And it really is a shame, isn't it? But for as long as I can remember, he always had a knack for doing the wrong things." Or, you know, acting like a cold-hearted bastard. Details, really.

"I certainly do recall the youngest of them got to him, but this ship can apparently bring the dead back. A pity in this case, isn't it?"

So their game had become to put on pretense of ignoring him. That gave them a slight advantage, in that they could each distract or redirect the other if he got under either of their skins (in the metaphorical sense). But it also meant that they had to continue talking to make a show of it, and clearly they were reaching for the first things that came to mind to do so.

He folded his hands behind his back, maintaining the smile, and allowed them to continue to talk. They could not forget his presence, no matter how they pretended otherwise, so let us see what they talked about.

"It is such a shame." A sigh. "How far the mighty have fallen. The Uchiha boy is certainly talented but nothing compared to even an average kage, much less one of the legendary sannin." She shook her head and for the all the world it appeared that she'd forgotten about Orochimaru entirely. The petty jabs said otherwise. She knew they were petty, just as she knew that like any person he had to have buttons to push. Triggering an attack would work just perfectly.
