01: Accidental Video // Uchiha Sasuke

[switch_it_off]

[The view shudders, the little recording lens jittering in hands gone completely unsteady. It gives a lopsided view of the world, a sickening swoop to the left as Sasuke tilts his wrist in that direction, then right again before centering at a sudden loss of movement. His free hand lifts to smooth dirty hair from his eyes, pulling it rust-sticky

My goodness... that was rather dizzying. H-hello?

[The view is of a dark haired girl with a raised brow, leaning into look at the view closely.]

Whats... a genjutsu?

[The feed jerks when Sasuke stills sharply, then swoops up as he reaches for his sword, revealing the pale line of his jaw and downturned mouth.

Where the hell --]

[And then he spots it, from the corner of his eye. And stills.

He slowly tilts his wrist for a better look. Well, this is new.]

[The movements of the video almost made her chuckle, and she would have if she didn't already know how disorienting it was to find yourself in a new place with some strange device and what not. Instead she gave a tiny wave, in case he was looking, then spoke again.]

Hello...

Don't move the camera around like that the next time you're recording. I imagine that wasn't a pleasant experience for anyone with motion sickness.

[voice]

[switch_it_off]

T'ch... perhaps it will discourage voyeurism.

[voice]

[successoroftime]

Most people post to networks like this for communication.

[there is a pause, then the faint sound of blowing away from the mic. Watanuki usually considered this hour too early for a smoke, but he was still adjusting to the rhythm of life here, where it was almost impossible to go out at night.]

Unless you're not the type that often makes use of it.

[voice]

[switch_it_off]

I'm not. I have no use or patience for unintended public displays.

[So it does annoy him marginally that he was recorded against his will and without his noticing. Just a little.]

[voice]

[yaaaykira]

Woah! Are you trying to make everyone dizzy?

[She pauses. Huh, 's not often you get to hear actual Japanese in this city, instead of it being automatically translated.] What's an "Illusionary Technique?" Are you some kind of magician or something?

[voice]

[switch_it_off]

[He turns his bracelet over to get a better look at the screen. He won't apologize, but his tone is ... dry. Curious, not accusatory. She just isn't triggering his threat response at all.]

I didn't know it was recording. And no, I'm not.

[voice] --> [video]

[yaaaykira]

These 'NV' things are kind of hard to figure out at first, huh?

No? [Interested Misa is interested! She switches to video, and a small Japanese girl, with part of her blonde hair pulled up into two pigtails, appears.] Then what do you do?

[video]

[switch_it_off]

Mm... [He squints at the screen, then glances away with a small nod. He's not unfamiliar with communications devices but this one's more high-tech thn a headset. Interesting.]

What do you think I do?

[To him, it's a stuid question. People of his world fall into only two categories, shinobi and civilians.]

[shar1ngan]

[He didn't see the video, but he heard his brother's voice, loud and clear]

Sasuke. You've been brought here as well? Convenient.

[His eyes widen marginally at Itachi's voice, before he flicks a quick look down at his wrist. The small screen is blank.

It's either in his head or ...]

[He stares at it, long and thoughtful. Then snorts and drops his wrist, continuing to walk.

He killed this man. The dead don't speak, it's a trick.]

[shar1ngan]

[There's no answer. Huh]

Sasuke, answer me. I never figured you for a coward.
