Does--does anyone know where Priscilla is?

[Or if she even survived. Not going there, but Sakura's tone is quite grave.]

I have... something I have to tell her.

[The pink girl on your screen is nowhere near as cheerful and bouncy as she usually is. In fact, she seems almost... wary. Or protective.]

She went home to her room. I made sure.

[She narrows her eyes a little.]

What do you have to tell her?

[video]

[sucker_punches]

She's all right, then?

[A pause.] It's really something I should tell her.

[video]

[inpiecesofcloud]

She's alive.

[Further skeptical narrowing of eyes.]

It's bad, isn't it.

[Not even really a question.]

Re: [video]

[sucker_punches]

...

Yes.

[Voice]

[i_love_squats]

[He's quiet, strangely subdued and quiet.]

I can tell her if you want.

[Voice | Private]

[sucker_punches]

No, Zack, I should tell her. It's all right.

[ voice ]

[pandamaiden]

Sakura-san?

What's going on? [She is probably one of the lucky few who has no idea what's happened.]

Re: [ voice ]

[sucker_punches]

[... she really has no idea how to explain it to Mei.]

I just... have to tell her something she probably doesn't want to hear.

[ voice ]

[pandamaiden]

... does it have to do with that weird chi?

Can you tell me what happened, Sakura-san?

[ Voice | Private ]

[sucker_punches]

[Pause.] Yes, it's got something to do with that.

There was a fight... I don't know exactly what happened, but someone got very badly hurt. [Tiptoeing around saying that someone died. She knows you're tough, Mei, but you're also just 10.]

[lenalee_lee]

Sakura...

[Voice]

[sucker_punches]

... yeah?

[Voice]

[lenalee_lee]

Are you going to be alright? Is there anything I can do?

[Voice | Private]

[sucker_punches]

[You can't see it, but she's shaking her head.]

I'm fine. I'm not the one who needs anything right now.

[voice | private]

[couragetodare]

Senji's dead, isn't he. [Not necessarily a question. Considering what Naruto saw and the fact that he can't feel Senji's chakra.]

That's what you need t'tell her?

[voice | private]

[sucker_punches]

[...]

He was dead by the time Zack brought him in.

[voice | private]

[couragetodare]

I see.

[voice | private]

[sucker_punches]

[She sighs, a bit shakily.]

I need to go over to headquarters for a little while. She should hear it in person.
