Who: Uchiha Sasuke + You
Broadcast: Fleetwide text
Action: SS Huntress
When: Right here, right now

[ Waking up somewhere unusual isn't the strange part; that's something he's grown depressingly used to in his sorry excuse for a life. But waking up in a place that isn't Konoha, isn't his world, and is instead an uncomfortably familiar confined technological nightmare of a ship with the distinct feeling that something is off is outside his limited comfort zone.

He gets his bearings first before going for his communicator, head further dizzied by a displayed date that doesn't match up with what he remembers. ]

I have a gap in my memory. Is this a normal occurrence here?

[ And that's it, that's his whole message after being absent for who knows how long. How quintessentially Sasuke. how much did he drink ]

You're still here?

[Ugh.]

And you're still unhelpful. Nothing has changed.

Sorry. I didn't care enough to find out what you've been doing all this time.

That's hardly what I asked, Allen.

I figured it was your next question.

But yeah, it can be. Usually it means someone's been asleep for awhile, or they left and came back.

If I left then I have no memory of it.

[ Then again, it isn't as if he's a deep sleeper. Both options are offending his sensibilities. God. ]

[ ... ]

Did you do something to me. [ fuckin' BLAME ALLEN ]

What?

No! Of course not!

Don't try to make it sound implausible; you disliked me before I even arrived.

Of course it's implausible! What? Do I think I'm an evil witch that put a sleeping curse on you until it got broken with true love's kiss?

Get over yourself!

I suppose you're right.

[ an internal sigh ]

There's no way you're that powerful.

[ GRRRRR ]

Fuck you, arse. How about you go walk out an airlock?

Nice try.

Have you been bottling your anger this entire time I've been absent? How unhealthy.

No.

Honestly I haven't had much reason to get angry without you around. I wonder why.

Enjoy these moments, Allen. If I ever actually do something to try to upset you then they'll be better memories.

Whatever.

[ I am not Naruto, I am not going to flashback a dozen times to when you did something not totally dickish gosh ]

[Speaking of-]

Oy. Now that you're back, come get your statue or I'll throw it into the ocean.

My statue?

Is Zuko not its caretaker? [ Break the news to him gently. ]

First of all, caretaker? It's a statue, not an animal.

And...Zuko left. Not too long ago, actually.

[ Ah. ]

[ There's no response for a few minutes, expression steady even if his thoughts are again jarred by another sudden new change, almost unable to believe how much he missed. He saw Naruto leave, but why does this feel worse? Perhaps it's because he had less time with Naruto, because he knew he'd see him when he returned to his world. ]

I understand. [ At long last. ]

I'll pick it up later.

[And there's a pause of his own, because Allen gets it. Even though this isn't the first time he's had a friend leave, or not even the first time he's seen Zuko leave- it still hurts. Allen felt sadness just thinking about it. Especially when there was a chance they'd never see him again, or that likely he won't remember them if they do...]

I'm sorry. I wish I had better news.

[Even if he doesn't like Sasuke, he's not about to take pleasure in telling him his friend is gone]

The locks on the Blue Fish have been turned off, so you can come over when you'd like.

A lot more has changed than I anticipated.

[ And so suddenly; it felt like he was only out for a moment. ]

Regardless of what I do, don't try to destroy Aguri. It may cause problems.

What?

What kind of problems?
