I have thins to say. [ Many, many thins. ]

Violence is normal. And that's not all. If your perception of your own relaity involves limitations stopping your goals... alter that perception. Don't make an excuse. Don't be nice about it. Just change reality.

And I fixed one of those blenders. And I'm not as weird as people think I am. Fuck you all.

[ Really, there are three people to blame for this utter travesty. One of them is Sasuke himself, obviously. One is Obi-Wan, who'd supplied the alcohol that had gotten Sasuke into this state. The last one is Ino, who thought challenging Sasuke to drink would be a fantastic idea. ]

[action]

[ He can be found in various places on the Huntress and in varying stages of inebriation. Trying and failing to cook something edible? Check. Lying in his room staring at the ceiling in the dark? Check. Still in Obi-Wan's room challenging either Ino or the Jedi to an arm-wrestling contest? Probably.

This is what happens when you've never drunk before and weigh approximately nothing. ]

[closed to Ino and Obi-Wan]

I'll take another drink when I finish this text. [ So he says to Obi-Wan and Ino while staring intensely at his communicator, clearly thinking the rambling of an absolutely insane seventeen-year-old is something the fleet needs to be subjected to right this minute.

Also, he can't even remember whose turn it is. Or what the rules are. Or if they're still playing a game that isn't just 'get drunk and die in a ditch'. ]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[You are trying to prove you aren't as weird as people think you are by being much weirder, aren't you?]

You could have just said yes.

[ goddammit ]

I thought I was handling it well.

You're doing fine. [Well, he could be doing worse.]

We haven't met. [Here.] So I don't have a lot of context.

Then why did you just say I wa

I dropped it and it sent early.

[She could explain the unevenness in her response, or she could just assume he's already forgotten.]

Of course you did. Everything okay?

[ Look, he's doing his best. ]

This is a new experience but Iv'e surivved worse.

Who are you?

Kitty Pryde. Newish here.

'Newish' is unbearably unspecific, I wont' accept it.

39 days. How is your acceptance feeling now?

Very well, that's fine.

Newer than I am. Are you missing any limbs?

No. Should I be? [Where is your mind at, Sasuke?]

[ Drowning at the bottom of a pool of liquor. ]

I suppose not, I was just trying to make conversation.

Are you missing one?

[He wasn't last time she saw him.]

I prefer to say I impressivly retained three limbs.

[ You know. To fight his pessimist-flavored realism for two seconds. ]

In that case, congratulations. Recently? Arm?

Recently arm.

[ Yes, confirmed. ]

We'll ahve to find some different common ground then.

We've both lived with Itachi.

[So that's something. Too much while drunk? She did promise Naruto not to say too much about things she knows of Itachi to Sasuke.]

[ Oh.

For a moment after that -- extremely sobering -- text there's no response, a full two minutes passing without any word from him at all. There's something about even just seeing his brother's name written that still affects him more than anyone else's ever will, liking to think he's just immediately moved on after Itachi left him a second time and he changed his goals but it just isn't the case.

That many twisted up emotions don't just go away. ]

Right. So you were in another world before this like most of the others.

[She's a little worried, but not surprised by the delay.]

Nailed it. I knew a version of you too. You had two arms. [But she knew Itachi a lot longer and better.]

Not surprising. I spent more time with two arms than just one.

[ Losing a limb is much easier to talk about, but... ]

You got along with him?

I did. Ninjas make the best roommates. [Always quiet.]

[ Considering that he's been at odds with basically the entirety of the shinobi world before... he's not sure he agrees, but he'll accept it all the same. ]

He's a good man

[ The contraction makes it easier to hide the fact that he wants to use 'is' instead of 'was', still. ]

[She knows past tense would be more appropriate, but she easily matches what Sasuke uses because she doesn't know what he knows. And in time-bending places like this you just never know. She was with Itachi when he died of illness in the prison only to see him again one day as a zombie.]

He is. I might even miss him. [She does.]

[ Watching him die. Another thing to have in common.

This list is getting bleaker. ]

Me too. But it had to be like this.
