Voice

[earned_my_eyes]

[His voice is a blank canvas, nothing shared, nothing lost, nothing slipping through the cracks. Controlled.]

Classes at the dojo for myself and --[There's the barest of pauses.] -- Itachi are canceled. Indefinitely.

[There's another pause; when he speaks again, the words are practiced, one's he has said before (not here, though, no, here he

Comments

[voice, private] Sasori's gonna go get very, very drunk -_-;;

[eternalscorpion]

[Sasori sounds subdued, a little raw, even. Losing Itachi, perhaps the person he was closest to here, whose presence had become a daily constant in his life, has been exceedingly difficult for himself as well.]

Oi...

He left that dinosaur behind.

...Do you want it?

[voice, private] Sasuke might have to join him.

[earned_my_eyes]

[The initial urge is to say "No, it's foolish. Pointless. What need do I have for something like that?"]

Yes.

[Without pause. Without thought. Yes, he wanted it. Yes, he wanted was important to his brother. Yes, he wanted what his brother carried. At least that. At least. Initial urges be damned, Sasuke wanted that.]

I'll be at the library.

[Researching.]

[voice, private] I approve of this. Drunk moping about Itachi log? y/y

[eternalscorpion]

...All right. I'll meet you there shortly.

[voice, private] YESSSSSssssssss

[earned_my_eyes]

Hm.

[ voice ] aaaaand another friend bites the dust. D:

[heartbetween]

[He's going to go mad. Stark, raving mad one of these days. If the powers that be had just left him alone, he could have died in his world with all his principles and ideals intact, without being forced to see friend after friend disappear with nothing he can do--the antithesis of everything he stood for.

He doesn't know Sasuke well, but he did speak to Itachi on occasion, and he knew Sasuke was important to him.]

You're...sure he's gone?

[A little silence, because, who is he kidding.] I'm sorry.

[ voice ] ;o; I know....

[earned_my_eyes]

[He isn't the only one, oh no.]

Mm. I'm sure.

[The chakra was gone. The feel of him was gone. Sasuke didn't have to look, already knew.]

Unless you had something to do with it, don't apologize.

[ voice ]

[heartbetween]

This is getting out of hand.

[A soft sigh.] No, but I'm sorry your brother's gone...

I...knew him, a little. We talked a few times over the network. Sparred once at the dojo.

[ voice ]

[earned_my_eyes]

Is it? None of us were meant to be here in the first place. [But that didn't mean he wouldn't try to find a way to bring his brother back, that he wouldn't spend all his free time interrogating and searching and trying to find a way to bring Itachi here once more.

[If he had taken Itachi's life in their world, then he would sure as hell try to give it back to him in this one.]

How did you do in the spar?

[ voice ]

[xnoble_reasonx]

Itachi has gone?

[ voice ]

[earned_my_eyes]

Yes.

[A man of few words....]

[ voice ]

[xnoble_reasonx]

Unfortunate.

He was worthy.

[They can agree on something.]

[Voice] P-pretend this isn't hideously late? /dies

[sucker_punches]

Sasuke-kun.

[Nothing but sympathy in her voice, and a long silence follows. What does she say? There's little to be said, really. Nothing aside from:]

I'm so sorry.

[Voice] Late? I don't see anything late :x

[earned_my_eyes]

Save your pity for someone who wants it.

[Sorry, you know how he gets.]

[Voice] /jedi mind trick

[sucker_punches]

It isn't pity.

[Pause]

I'm... going to miss him, too.

[Voice] /falls under trick

[earned_my_eyes]

[He's quiet for a moment.]

I won't be back for awhile.
