[ Video/Intro ] Second Lease on Life

[candyconsumption]

Who: Uchiha Itachi
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: On the S.S Paisley
When: Immediately after the ship shuffle

[ Itachi's been tinkering with the video feed. He kind of gets it. But he accidently turns it on while just trying to use the camera function to pick confetti out of his long, black hair. A red eye stares back. ]

...Who knew the afterlife would throw me a welcoming party. [ Because really, where else would he have gone to? He's buried in the sky, among stars. His fingers bat at his hair more, getting the rest of the glitter out. He'll probably be sparkly for a couple of days. However, his eyes catch sight that he is recording... and his expression softens, before going flat. He's got an incredibly similar face to someone else on board. ]

Ah. I've been caught. [ He doesn't say anything more--but the camera shows it moving away from his face before shutting off completely. ]

[ ooc: Also Open to Action for people on the S.S Paisley! ]

[Now that's just rude!]

Hey. I'm fifteen! I'm old enough to know if I should talk to someone.

[candyconsumption]

Fif...

[ There's a bit of silence. ]

Fifteen is hardly an age that one can be sure about anything. Talking to men you don't know is the pinnacle of bad decision making... but...

...Since you're cute, I'll amend the situation. My name is Itachi. [ There. He's no longer a stranger, little boy. ]

[notzubats]

[Yeaaaaah, being told he's cute in the way that clearly means "puppy cute" is exactly what a teenager wants to hear. You can almost hear the little "hmph" sound on his end as he turns red with embarrassment]

Sora.

[candyconsumption]

A pleasure, Sora-kun. [ You're cute, get over it. It's the card that's been dealt. Use it in your favor. ] Thank you, for the warm welcome.

[notzubats]

"Kun"? [This is the second time he's had someone attach that to his name.]

And it's nothing. [Just something nice you say, that's all. No one should have to feel alone in this place]

[candyconsumption]

[ Oh, he's unfamiliar with honorifics... ] "-kun" is... a polite way of addressing a younger boy. I don't know you well enough to intimately call you by your given name alone.

[ He says it's nothing, but, really. It's a lot. Especially from someone who just woke up from what should have been the final sleep. ]

[notzubats]

Oh, really? [...Must be a cultural thing. Huh.] So what should I be calling you then?

[candyconsumption]

[ He offers a faint smirk. ]

You can call me 'Itachi'. [ Because you're cute. ]

[notzubats]

[Goddangit]

Oookay then! Itachi it is!

[candyconsumption]

Good to hear. [ There's some consideration. ] ...You must not be on this ship, then... if you're speaking to me over this device.

[notzubats]

Me?

Nah. I'm over on the Huntress.

[candyconsumption]

Oh... then you're on the same ship as Kenobi-san. At least it's with someone dependable.

...He must get tired with so many young boys around. But I'm sure you don't give him any trouble, yes?

[notzubats]

You know Obi-wan-?

[!! Him? cause trouble? Um-]

N-No, sir! No trouble at all!

[candyconsumption]

That's what I like to hear.

...Run along now, cutie.

[notzubats]

[He groans at the nickname. Seriously? He can just imagine Riku laughing his head off if he was here]

Yeah, yeah...later.

[candyconsumption]

I'm sure I'll see you again. [ And with that, he ends the feed. ]
