driftfleet

Who: Uzumaki Naruto & All the people.
Broadcast: Open Network Post
Action: The Hospitality Deck, and maybe the poor unsuspecting people of SS Huntress. (????)
When: 6th February

[Waking up in a place he didn't recognise, but knew instantly was nowhere like back home was unfortunately, a familiar feeling.

Waking up without his right arm, also, happened not to be an unfamiliar sensation. The fact that it had been healed, and all of his clothes repaired however, was as new for him as it was pleasant.

Naruto's understanding of the importance of his communicator, and surprisingly - the way it worked hadn't concerned him in the slightest, but it's several hours after his arrival on board the hospitality deck that he finally chooses to direct his attention to it. Fed, watered, and as clued up on what was going on as he could ever be without someone to direct his questions at left him here.

As soon as he starts recording his transmission, he gets right to the point. There's no familiar smile on his face, in fact - he looks bored. Fed up, probably. Their fight had ended, things were supposed to be getting better but now he's here.]

Know there's gotta be someone out there who can tell me what's up. Ain't Adstring, and it ain't Asgard. Who's controllin' everything? Who do we have t'fight this time? Why's it dark out. A guy called Madara didn't try an' steal the moon or something, right?

Oh.

Yeah. That's uhm... That's a good point, huh?

[Hehe. He's grinning, even if you are using your best Sasuke's boyfriend impression.]

Is he uh-- I mean, he's doing okay?

I think he's overwhelmed by being here, and by so many people knowing who he is.

[ rei is Very Good at reading people, ok ]

He doesn't trust me, but that's to be expected. He doesn't remember anything. But he was willing to talk to me, and willing to listen. I think he just needs the opportunity to settle in before he can really figure out what he wants out of this place.

[Honestly? It's really satisfying to hear Rei say that. He'd hoped that Sasuke would feel similarly to what Rei says, and it's Rei. She wouldn't say something like that unless she believed it.]

Yeah.

He kinda... went through a lot of stuff I guess. I'm glad he talked t'ya. Never really thought he'd ever like being in a place like this. No one does, but-- you know. Not Sasuke.

It sounds like he's been behaving himself, for the most part.

[ rei is nosy, and she's been snooping around. no news of sasuke being an idiot, past normal sasuke stuff. ]

But he also hasn't been here very long. I'm sure he's still trying to deal with what happened in your world. Whatever that is.

[ clearly nothing good, judging from your missing arm, smh ]

[He can't help but laugh. It seems ridiculous that Rei has to say something like that to him, Sasuke had been behaving himself. Miracles. Sure, but... he probably couldn't talk.]

Yeah. He kinda just had a big change of heart, y'know? Don't-- tell him I told you.

You don't have to tell me that, Naruto. Remember?

[ rei can feel intention, and her intuition is very rarely wrong ]

He'll be fine. You don't have to worry. -- and I was joking, about you babysitting him. I'll help, too. Whatever you need.

Yeah, I know. [He forgot] But, I guess he's gotta work out a bunch of stuff now?

[He does nod though. Rei's on his side - it's hard to feel mad at her for anything.]

I'm glad you're here, y'know?

I'm glad you're here too.

[ and she means that, genuinely -- and she offers him a warm smile. ]

Go talk to Sasuke. I'm sure he's having an overdramatic meltdown.

[ she teases.

maybe. ]

I'll come find you when you shuffle to a new ship, once you're settled.
