The Hitomi turns on, instead of breaking, when Deidara throws it against a tree. Maybe it didn't want to break. But it turns on and it lands and there's Deidara, back to the device, shaking with a desperate sort of fury. And he unleashes hell on the landscape around him

[Not this again. Didn't Deidara already get his fill of this sort of excessive behavior with that ridiculous mountain business?

Especially after what they'd been up to yesterday and earlier today, Sasori would have expected Deidara to be feeling quite worn out, so what in the world is his partner thinking?

He's irritated, but there was something...unsettling about Deidara's expression that makes him pause for a moment before he responds, and his tone is less sharp than it would normally be.]

Well, at least you didn't blow up a damned mountain again.

[He sighs.]

Did you hurt yourself again, you fool? Where are you?

[Private]

[clayfireworks]

No.

[His tone is entirely flat.]

[Something definitely seems a little off about his partner's behavior, and it's troubling Sasori; Deidara had been fine earlier...]

...Are you sure you're all right? You're...

[Sasori pauses, unsure of how to articulate exactly what's bothering him about all this, and huffs, retreating back to more comfortable irritation.]

Really, what was all that about, anyways?

Will I have to drop everything and come get you? Or can you actually make it back home yourself?

[Home...because Sasori's home is Deidara's home now too, as far as Sasori is concerned.]

I was testing something. It didn't work. It'll never work anymore.

[He's dropped the "un", for one. And his tone's still dull.]

I'll be able to get back.

[parousian]

What happened to you?

[clayfireworks]

Nothing.

[parousian]

Hmmm.

You look depressed. You should blow some shit up!

[clayfireworks]

That won't help. [Good job reminding him of the issue, Tobi. :|]

[Kisame watches the show silently, impressed in spite of himself. It's.... well, beautiful. Majestic, even. Impressive the way Deidara's art so often is. He likes to see the shrapnel flying and the dust clouding in the air, the way the brilliant plumes of fire burst forth and the shockwaves ripple and streak outwards, lashing out without heeding anything in their path, striking and toppling all that dares to get in their way. He likes the way the water hisses like an angry, living thing, the way the smoke and steam billow and spread and obscure the landscape, coiling together until they're so twisted up they become one. The crater is a wonderfully large one, still scorched and smouldering from the explosives, and Kisame can't help but approve.]

[But that expression.... his eyes. After so many years being partnered with Itachi, Kisame has learned to read subtle signals. And everything in this video, beyond the artistic merit, shows that Something Is Very Wrong. Deidara crumpled on the ground like that.... He frowns in concern.]Deidara

[clayfireworks]

Nothing happened. [Which is precisely the issue here.]

[seeingeyeshark]

Why are you acting this way, then? [This is confusing....]

[clayfireworks]

There's no point in acting any other way.

[savour_the_pain]

[He whistles at the sight of the destruction] Nice.

[clayfireworks]

Should've been.

[ Something very very wrong is going on back in town. Yukari apologizing, then this guy - Deidara, wasn't it? - blowing shit up for seemingly no reason at all. Looks like the "gods" are pissed the fuck off.

Gojyo considers saying something, but what the hell would he say? He's not even sure what he just saw - Deidara's blowing shit up, okay, but is he blowing it up for a reason? Is he hallucinating, being hunted by ghosts? Or is he just that annoyed that the rocks and dirt?

No way of knowing, and it's none of Gojyo's business anyway. But he watches the explosions over a second time before putting the Hitomi away. Deidara is a dangerous guy. If they ever have to fight, he wants to know what to expect. ]
