001 :: Video

[counterintel]

[Wearing an expression very much unlike his usual composed look, Itachi looks something like he's seen a ghost. It fades to something less frantic, a frown as he tries to figure out how to make the device do what he wanted.]

Shisui. Can you hear me?

[A moment, and-- nothing. He sighs, pressing something else which turns the video feed off, leaving only the rustle of sound as he fumbles with the thing.]

Shisui?

[Another frustrated noise, and he manages at least to end the whole feed.]

Comments

[hebi]

[Give him a moment.








A nice, long moment.]

Itachi?

[counterintel]

[... He had not been expecting that.]

... What.

[No, that's definitely--]

Sasuke--?

[hebi]

[NEITHER HAD HE god so much mindfuck kinda.]

... Yeah. It's me.

[counterintel]

[Why-- are you so tall?

Wait, more pressing issues.]

Did you just arrive here?

[hebi]

[...Because he's almost 19. He thinks. He's been 18 for a long fucking time.]

No, I've...been here for a while.

[Pause.] Where are you?

[counterintel]

[Just wait until you explain that one.]

Then you'll be able to tell me more?

Will co-ordinates do?

[gatherstoys]

201.

[counterintel]

I'm sorry, what?

[gatherstoys]

Toy go in 201.

[counterintel]

Is that a place?

[gatherstoys]

Uh huh. All toys stay in one place.

[counterintel]

This doesn't seem like the kind of place for toys.

[outsidehistory]

[Huh...

You look younger...

But...seems like you don't really remember this place. And the Shisui guy was able to post moments ago so...]

I think it'll take a bit to find him.

[counterintel]

[Only ten years younger, what?

It isn't a shock when he sees someone speaking to him, but he does take a moment to respond.]

Why would it take time?

[outsidehistory]

[It's still a noticeable difference! At least to a Bookman.]

Nesreca's pretty big for a dead city.

[counterintel]

[Should be~]

Nesreca? That's the name of this place?

How long should it take to cross it?

[outsidehistory]

Yeah, it's in a country called Russia.

[A slight shrug.] A day, no more. But that's if you're standing in the middle of it.

[counterintel]

I can't say I've heard of it.

[That's interesting though, and your remark about how long it would take to travel makes him smile.]

I trust Shisui will find his way quickly.

[counterintel]

I'd just seen--

I'm fine. Thank you.

If a little confused.

Re: video

[alma_karma]

Lavi gave you the video, right?

video [AHEM, TOTALLY A LITTLE LATER]

[counterintel]

[It's a while before he responds, looking a lot more calm.]

Ah, yes-- he did. Very informative.

Re: video [AHEM, TOTALLY A LITTLE LATER]

[alma_karma]

Good. [Smilesmile!] I'm Alma! Are you gonna be able to find the apartment building?

....HELLO 8D [Voice]

[shunshinoshishi]

[ He heard you alright, and that's just him scrambling to seat himself in front of the device.

...Only to find that the feed has ended |8 So he fiddles with the buttons and turns on the voice option. ]

I'm here.

[Voice] LOL. This is when then? xD So much confusion.

[counterintel]

[He stares for a while, managing to reply and arching his eyebrow.]

You are. You're there, too?
