[Tensely seated on the couch in the communal area of Sai's suite, there was a clone of Gaara that he ordered to stay and continue watching the television program, eagerly awaiting reset to arrive, so that all the captives inside the contraption would hopefully be freed. As soon as the channel had stopped showing them, he took out his ( Read more... )

Is there anywhere else you want to stroll through, Gaara-sama? [Sai asked, as he continued to carry Gaara on his back on their ‘impromptu’ date.]

[With his arms securely wrapped around Sai's neck, he did a quick scan of their setting and then replied candidly.] The dining area... I prefer water over the alcohol. [A beat.] Though the popcorn ( Read more... )

[Papers are faintly rustled as Gaara finishes writing down his current observations of the isolated captives. He continues watching the twisted display, all the while feeling the accumulation of negative emotions bubbling underneath the surface ( Read more... )

[Locked to Sai]

I can speak freely now.

[Locked to Mao]

It would be in your best interest to keep your distance, from this point onward.

[Locked to Shikamaru - 75% Unhackable]

[The device falls to the floor with a loud clatter as Gaara flips through the air to avoid getting struck by a wayward vine. In his hand, he tightly grips a small scalpel - his only means of offense at this time, due to the constraint of his gold collar. He lands on his feet and immediately whips his head all about to look for another space to ( Read more... )

[Locked to Kankuro and Temari]

I am glad you have returned safely, Kankuro.

Temari, were there any casualties?

[Filtered to friends and allies]

Those with combat capabilities and willing to assist, report in immediately.

Hell, nothin’ but a shithole… That other place was better. Death City, kyahaha~

[The voice sounds deeper than usual; gravely, with a sinister edge unlike Gaara’s usual tranquil tone.]

[A light whooshing noise ensues just then, as the search for alcohol begins.]
