a hawk in training;

[See Sasuke. See Sasuke with a snowball in his hands, tossing it up and down.

And then just smirking into the camera.]

Snowball fight, anyone?

[Why no, he's totally not a little fatigued from his recent venture out, why would you ever think that...]

[The feed starts as Sasuke knocks the PCD over, and he seems to be struggling with getting something under control. There's definite curses and threats coming from the shinobi, and eventually the PCD will show him struggling with what seems to be a fish with a pink belly. After a moment, though, comes a bright flash and the brief chirping of what seems to be birds. When the light fades, however, Sasuke's struggles seem to have stopped. He's won the Man vs Fish war.

Letting out a breath, Sasuke turns to pick up his PCD, stopping when he realizes, oh hey, this thing is on again.

Blink.]

So, uh. Anyone know how to stuff a fish?

[Yeah that's not an awkward question at all.]

[It’s quiet by the outskirts of the city where a rather large rabbit grazes in the middle of a clearing surrounded by trees. It’s not very still though, but only Sasuke would know that--

Until the feed shakes begins to shake just enough to be noticeable. A moment later, it spins, as if falling only to thunk as if in the palm of someones hand and still. There’s a voice, and for the owner, it’s unusually hushed.]

C’mon Sasuke-- you’re takin’ forever.

Shut up, dobe, you’ll scare it away. [Sasuke’s not paying attention to what Naruto’s doing, just watching the rabbit with crimson eyes, just waiting...

Waiting....!]

A little too long... and Naruto is loud. ]
What are you waiting for, Teme!?

[The voice is enough to startle the rabbit, which looks up before dashing off into the bushes.]

Aww maaaaan, You scared it away’ttebayo!

That was you, not me! [An exasperated sigh leaves Sasuke as he simply drops the wire he was holding, which had been connected to the trap.]

Usuratonkachi.

SHUT UP, TEME!

[The PCD falls-- just in time to catch the swing of orange arm toward Sasuke.]

[Oh, look, it came on again. Sasuke's outside, beating rocks into smaller rocks. You know, to use for his home made training weights. It's easier to take out his frustration with everything this way than going out to do something stupid. Though, his knuckles are bleeding as he does this, so it might as well be considered a little stupid too.

He's got two piles. One of useable, small rocks, and a second of...dirt and rocks that didn't make the cut. Rocks he took things out on too much.

When the feed finally shows Sasuke's face, one can see, well. His face. He's exhausted. Tired. He's been doing this for a while, but that's not the cause of it. He hasn't slept much since Zuko was killed. Didn't want to chance the nightmares.

With another loud crunch, and another small cloud of dust flying, Sasuke lets out a curse.]

Out of rocks.

Anyone have any leather or other tough and durable material? I need something other than fabric.

[It's more of an accident than anything that the PCD is turned on. The view shows at first Sasuke's hand pulling away with a roll of bandages, and then Sasuke's abdomen. It's partially scarred, mostly on the front. On his right side is an old snake tattoo, and he doesn't even seem to notice it. At first.

When he moves to start bandaging his abdomen, he starts off on the right side. It doesn't take long after that for him to actually, fucking finally notice that there's something different on him.

Like a tattoo. Which he just stares at. There is absolutely no recognition from him what-so-ever.]

... What the hell is that? Oi, Toushirou! I thought you were into dragons!

[Obviously teasing as he calls over his shoulder. Ah, and then he finally notices the PCD is on again. But instead of picking it up and turning it off, he just says:]

Guess I found my price.

[Then he turns it off.]

「text」

[x,y]


「video」

[When the video comes on, nothing can really be seen. There's a black butterfly blocking the view. The patpattering of the rain heard in the background signals that, where ever this is, it's outside.

There's light panting that can be heard close by. And then--]

Tyki...Mikk...

It's a shame that nothing is hardly permanent here, isn't it? Hardly any honor in dying at all. [Sasuke's not alone.

The black butterfly on the screen flails a little, clinging desperately to the PCD as Sasuke's finger runs across it in a futile attempt to knock it off.

When Sasuke speaks next, his voice is even weaker. It takes more of an effort to talk.]

Even... Noah die... [There's just some small chuckling from Tyki, followed by the soft rustle of movement.]

Let me, lad.


[[ Normal text is Sasuke, this is Tyki. ]]

[When the feed comes on it shows Juubantai House's kitchen. There's a pot on the stove with steam coming from it, signaling that something's boiling. There's half of a gutted koi fish next to that, cut up bell peppers next to that, and next to that there's sliced garlic and mushrooms.

...Weird lunch, isn't it?

Sasuke comes in then, looking through all the cabinets for something. When he opens the last one, he just frowns. Looks like someone forgot to check what they didn't have before cooking...]

Out of bean sprouts.

[He closes the cabinet then, and just...glances over at his ingredients.]

...Guess I'm using the whole fish.

[At that, Shadow leaps up onto the cabinet that the PCD is sitting on, and as his tail slowly moves toward it, he knows it over, ending the feed.]
