[The communicator clicks on, and when Sasuke speaks, his voice is strained, slightly winded, rumbling with an unfamiliar undercurrent of worry. The wind blows past the Forge’s microphone as he runs, and anyone that sees him as he jumps across the roofs of Scorched will notice he has a black clad body slung against his back.]Sakura.

Itachi?

He's what?

[He almost doesn't answer, unwilling to let the gravity of the situation out there, until he remembers what she said about him once when they briefly talked on the network. Hm.]

He's...sick.

Voice /Private

[wellsuited]

Sick?

[A moment for his words, his tone to sink in. And then another for the shock that follows.]

No way...

Voice /Private

[earned_my_eyes]

Mm.

[The sound of the wind blowing stops, then resumes again as he continues running.]

He will be fine, though. I know it.

[Oh, but she doesn't take well to demands.]

There's no need for you to take that tone with me. I'll do what I can.

[Sorry, Sakura, manners are non-existent go out the window in times like these.]

I am calm. You need to be ready for when I bring him in.

Has he been hit or around any of those eggs?

The birds are the prime suspects at the moment, with the way the townsfolk are acting and the time frame of when people started to get sick, not to mention some of the posts on the network. I'm going out to kill a few and bring them in. Maybe that will tell us how to stop or reverse this.
