[Video] His Heart is Drifting Too

[candyconsumption]

Who: Uchiha Itachi
Broadcast: Video, Fleetwide
Action: SS Paisley, Common Area
When: A bit past midnight on August 7th

[ He's currently in his little office, sitting at the desk. He's got the video on--he doesn't look amused. ]

...Would someone care to explain this? [ He turns his device so that the camera is facing his desk. Piled on it are boxes and boxes and small pocket-packets of tissue paper, all brightly wrapped in neon blue with yellow lettering: MADAME CYCLOPS ISSUE TISSUES. ] ...Because I don't find it funny in the least bit.

If someone thinks this will cheer me up... [ He trails off, unable to finish the sentence. Instead, a foot is seen gently nudging some of the tissues away and to the side of the desk.]

...I was right the first time. This is hell.

[castrationfist]

Oh? What makes you say that?

[That seems like it will be a fun subject to poke at.]

voice

[candyconsumption]

I'm not one to divulge secrets to someone I haven't met face-to-face. Though I thank you for your concern.

voice

[castrationfist]

Eh, boring... Then, let's meet face-to-face!

voice

[candyconsumption]

... All right. [ No harm in meeting people, he supposes. ] ... Shall I meet you on the Marsiva? Or are you adversed to close encounters.

voice

[castrationfist]

I'm not on the Marsiva. Do you mean the Iskaulit? Or, what ship are you on?

[candyconsumption]

I'm on the S.S Paisley. The Is...Iskaulit would perhaps be fine to meet up at. [ All of these damn floating things. If it were up to him, he'd just remain rooted in one place... but in a place like this, it was virtually impossible. ]

[castrationfist]

Then, I'll meet you in the library. Look for the cutest girl there, okay?

[candyconsumption]

...I'll be sure to.

[ Don't mind this guy a but later wandering right into the library. He had to ask around to know where it was, but once he arrived, his gaze wandered around the new facility. Now, to look for a cute girl. He really hoped she was cute, or else he had no other descriptor to go off of. ]

[ And soon he caught himself staring at what he thought was hopefully a cute girl. At least she saw him in ins post... or else they'd both just be meandering hopelessly. ]

[castrationfist]

[Well, between the pink hair, fox ears and bushy tail, and the bizarre clothes, she at least sure looks like she thinks she's cute.

She's also approaching.]

Itachi, wasn't it?

[candyconsumption]

[ The ears are of great interest to him. His eyes drift up to them, then back down to her face. Itachi nods his head. ]

Yes. Caster-san, correct? [ -san from now on, he's learned, as people who look younger just may not be. Not in this strange spaceship. ]

[castrationfist]

Ooh, you show respect, I like you. But I prefer to be called the cute and wonderful Caster-chan!

[It's amazing that she can say that while sounding 100% serious.]

[candyconsumption]

...Caster-chan, then. [ Well, who was he to deny a woman what she prefered? Not him. ] ...Just Itachi is fine.

You're very cute, just as you said. I had no trouble finding you.

[castrationfist]

Of course not! After all, you humans passed down legends for a thousand years about my beauty.

And how good I smell. You humans can be kind of creepy sometimes, you know that?

[candyconsumption]

[ What. ] I'm...

I've never heard of you before. [ But he'll give it to you--that is kind of creepy. ]

[castrationfist]

Of course not. That's because that's not my real name. Do you think I want to deal with that kind of thing again from my reputation?

[candyconsumption]

I suppose not. [ A beat. ] ...It's the same reason I do not give out my surname, in my world.

[castrationfist]

Oh... I suppose I can sympathize. Is yours so bad?

[candyconsumption]

Unfortunately. [ He offers a nod of the head. ] But I've come to live with it. However, the good thing is... there seems to be only one person from my world that I know of on this ship... so unless they say something, there's no need to worry.

However, for you... it must be quite the name, if people would want to smell you. [ A brief flash of a smile. ] You're not some sort of goddess of sweets, are you now?

[castrationfist]

Not at all! Though, I do love them, especially to share them with my darling... I am no goddess anymore, but I suppose I could be the Heroic Spirit of sweets! That might be nice.

.... Though, my name is known for a great many other things, too. You're not wrong that it is quite the name.

[candyconsumption]

Sweets are a weakness of mine.. so I am glad someone else can appreciate them as I do. [ "Darling", huh... must be nice. ]

[ But he supposes he's here now... but he's feeling a bit too anxious to talk about his problems, even if now, they have met face-to-face. ]

[castrationfist]

Well, I learned how to make some from Uzume, but we don't really have the ingredients...

Ah, but! There was something else we were going to talk about, wasn't there?

[sorry, she still wants to.]

[candyconsumption]

[ Well, you can't blame a man for trying. ]

Hmmm... [ There's some consideration, here. ] Those tissues... I found out they were a... sponsor drop. That's all I know about that. [ Madame Cyclops Issue Tissues, indeed. He was an Uchiha. Issues were a thing Uchihas had. ]

[castrationfist]

What makes that so upsetting, though?

[candyconsumption]

The reason I got them. [ He's being evasive. ]

[castrationfist]

Eh, you really don't want to tell me?

[look at the sad puppy eyes, though.]
