[o11] Huh.

[eternallyoung]

I haven't met this Madara person and, from the sounds of it, I don't think I want to. I realize that he essentially has unlimited power within the sphere of this company at least. If Haku could be fired with so little notice, then I hate to imagine how expendable I could turn out to be. Not only am I a make-up artist, but an intolerable one at that

He's also the one that issued the shit with me, un.

Private to Deidara

[eternallyoung]

He's a bastard. To put it in simple terms.

And it seems like he can do anything that he wants, without consequences. Do you know how deep this goes?

Private to Sasori

[xxxbangyouxxx]

Real deep, danna. Real deep. But he slips in places.

Private to Deidara

[eternallyoung]

Oh? Are you keeping tabs on him?

Private to Sasori.

[nejiscrew]

Madara owns us all. I'm not sure how else to put it. I wasn't sure of it until now. I guess if we want to keep our jobs, it's time to pucker up.

Private to Neji.

[eternallyoung]

Mm. I had heard of him before, but... I hadn't realized the extent of his power.

I find the idea... distasteful. Cowering. But, really, until we have a better idea there is nothing we can do.

Private to Sasori.

I've learned over the years to watch carefully and be silent. If I hadn't learned to hold my tongue, I'd be in the same position as Haku right now, if not worse.

My silence is all I can offer. He can interpret it however he chooses. I can't think of anything right now.

Private to Neji.

[eternallyoung]

Mm. Silence is the best answer or it's my usual one, anyway. For now. I'm sure, eventually, we'll come up with something to solve the problem.

[shybutfabulous]

To hell with that bastard. Yes, my job was great, but I have never been one to bite my tongue or call a person out. If that means I get fired or worse, that's something that I have to deal with when the time comes.

Anyway, you don't have anything to worry about. You're good with handing... or er... not having emotions.

[eternallyoung]

I'm glad to see you take it in stride.

Indeed. Still, I'd rather not lose my job.

[malapertly]

You, of all people, don't need to worry about getting fired. If Madara has issues with you, nobody in this company stands a chance.

Sorry I haven't called lately. Been a rough month or two. Just wanted to let you know it has nothing to do with you. Heaven forbid you start to think you're free of me.

I promise that's not the case.

[eternallyoung]

Why would he not have issues with me? I find that I'm a bit hostile and abrasive. Not to mention, all I do is paint faces.

Well. Here I had hoped that I made an impression on you, Kiba. Apparently, you're stupider than I expected.

[malapertly]

Yeah, but you keep to yourself, do your job, and don't cause problems. That's the key to staying on any boss's good side. Madara's no exception.

That's me.

You doing anything tonight? They're doing an old horror flick marathon at the dollar theater. Cheap, cheesy, and empty. I know how much you hate crowds.

[eternallyoung]

Mm, well, I'll keep that in mind. I guess that means I probably should keep a low profile then?

Unfortunately.

...well. That actually sounds entertaining...

[aladyofshallot]

That Madara is really starting to dig into everyone's skin, but from what I've heard about you, you don't seem like the type to look for trouble. So I don't think you have much to worry about.

[eternallyoung]

I do try to keep a low profile, in general.

However, sometimes I feel like I should speak up.

[aladyofshallot]

I wish I could do the same, but it's not my kind of thing.

There's a time and place for everything. I think when you really feel strongly about something is the best time to do it.

[eternallyoung]

I guess everyone has their own tendencies.

Mm, exactly, that's why I think I'll bide my time.
