[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.

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.]

[candyconsumption]

[ ...You're appealing to his big brother instinct... ] It's not...

...The most important person to me left this place.

[castrationfist]

Ah... Your lover?

[candyconsumption]

[ His face instantly flushes. ] That...

...

My little brother. Sasuke.

[castrationfist]

... Ah, I see...

[that's less juicy than she had hoped.]

Well, isn't that a good thing? If this place is awful, then he's no longer here.

[candyconsumption]

I'm certain he's happier elsewhere than with me, but... [ But Sasuke had left him with so many unanswered questions. He was unsure of what the boy's fate was now, or of Naruto, or... so many other things. ]

[castrationfist]

Oh... Do you not get along?
