Who: Uchiha Sasuke
Broadcast: Fleetwide!
Action: Marsiva
When: This very moment.

(broadcast)

[ Sure there are bound to be the occasional less-than-thrilling broadcasts but this one may be a new low, with the camera focused in on a nondescript blob that turns out -- with some acquired distance -- to be a knee. The feed shakes then and there's the loud metallic tap tap of the device being knocked against the framework of one of the generic cots aboard the Marsiva. Tap. Tap. Tap. The only other sound is that of the painfully bland music in the background, without a word being spoken.

At least this inept user finally turns the communicator around to inspect it at another angle, granting any viewer a flash of dark and impractically spiked hair before the camera then focuses on equally shadowed eyes and a severe expression.

No, he's not going to panic. He probably already did that internally before he even tried to figure out the communicator less than successfully. Send aid. ]

(action)

[ Sasuke will be easy to encounter either sitting on that cot and fiddling with his communicator, exploring the bay thoroughly, or staring with incredible and difficult-to-read intensity out into the murky void of space. Godspeed. ]

I see. If you can't trust my word then it's meaningless, but I'll say anyway that I'm not going to harm her.

I can't trust most people's word. That doesn't make it meaningless, if your word matters to you.

[ Well. He has zero honor but he's not about to type that. ]

I don't like lying. If I wanted to go after her then I wouldn't hide it.

[mylegacy]

[Oh, that's marginally interesting.]

Why don't you like lying?

text

[eyeforaneye]

[ It is a long and extremely unpleasant story. ]

Because I also don't like being lied to. Things are simpler this way.

[mylegacy]

[Most interesting stories are long and pretty unpleasant, in Caesar's experience.]

Is a lie by omission still a lie, in your opinion?

text

[eyeforaneye]

Perhaps. Willful deception is what I take greater issue with.

text

[mylegacy]

Good to know. I'll endeavor not to deceive you, then.

If you happen to hurt her on purpose, we're going to have a problem. That's the truth.

text

[eyeforaneye]

I don't expect anything less. That's your prerogative.

text

[mylegacy]

I'm not the only one, either, but you've probably gathered that as well.

[eyeforaneye]

I have, along with the knowledge that enough people already know and dislike me. I'll deal with it.
