[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.

[ Oh. Obi-Wan should have realized. ]

Are you ill?

voice

[castrationfist]

Why would tissues be hell, exactly? Do you have some kind of tissue trauma?

[deviances]

[ Cheer him up...? Here, have a concerned Eithan. ]

Yeah, it's... kinda hell. But seriously, somethin' happen?

[ video ]

[candyconsumption]

No. [ A lie, if he must be honest, but if he can help it... he doesn't want people knowing that even though he'd been brought back to life, his illness hasn't disappeared. Whatever it is. ] No...

[ He's got the video facing him again. He idly picks up a tissue from one of the boxes. They're a faint blue with a darker blue eye print on them. ]

voice

[candyconsumption]

[ This is a new face... ]

It's not the tissues that are hell. It's this place.

video

[candyconsumption]

...Something... is an understatement. But yes. [ And he's doing his best to be as calm about it as possible, despite how he actually feels. ]

voice

[castrationfist]

[Well, a new voice, technically.]

Hm, hardly. Hell involves more hungry ghosts. This is more like a relaxing vacation.

voice

[candyconsumption]

[ Okay yes technically. ] Are you implying you've already paid hell a visit?

voice

[castrationfist]

Well, I was damned for a while, but I didn't make it to hell personally. My knowledge is a little bit more unique!

Voice

[candyconsumption]

Didn't make it? [ He wondered if this was the case for him, then. ] I realize this is personal, however...

...Have... you died?

Re: [ video ]

[beardstrokes]

[ Hmm. ]

Then you wouldn't mind me checking up on you, just to see.

voice

[castrationfist]

I have, a few times. It never gets any less awful. 0/10, would not recommend!

[ video ]

[candyconsumption]

There's no need for that, Kenobi-san. [ You can almost hear the faint whine of 'I'm an adult so I can take care of myself' in there. ]

[ ...Of course, he's not going to out right try and stop you, either. ]

voice

[candyconsumption]

...A few times... [ That doesn't sound great. ] I'm sure not very many people would outright choose hell, however.

...Ah, and you're name? I'm certain I've never spoken to you before.

My name is Itachi.

voice

[castrationfist]

Oh, you'd be surprised. Many have chosen Hell for themselves, entirely out of spite. Humans are that sort of creature, after all.

I can't give my true name, but for now, I go by Caster. Nice to meet you~!

Re: [ video ]

[beardstrokes]

For my peace of mind, then.

[ And with that he closes his connection, already on his way. ]

[deviances]

You wanna talk about it? [ Beat. ] If it's none of my business, it's fine. Just... makin' sure, I guess.

[passingthrough]

Did you get a sponsor drop already?

video

[candyconsumption]

[ He gives her an incredulous look. ]

...Sponsor... drop?

[candyconsumption]

...That's kind of you. [ There's a pause of his own. ] I'm not sure, but...

Perhaps a distraction could be nice.

Did you ever find that drink?

voice

[candyconsumption]

Caster...

Well met, Caster... despite the circumstances. [ Like him being all upset. Like them just being here. Though it is not as if he has anywhere to go home to, if he ever happened to disappear here. ]

[ action ]

[candyconsumption]

[ Well, he supposes he had no other choice. Itachi merely straightens up the mass piles of tissues on his desk. Perhaps he'll distribute them to the other personnel individuals who have decided to take up counseling. He does, though, shove one of the individual packets into his pocket, before heading on over to where the shuttles unload. ]

[ When he arrives, he waits patiently, making sure to remain looking as composed as possible. Maybe it's the only thing he's good at. ]

voice

[castrationfist]

Well, I think the circumstances couldn't be better for me. And, I begin to suspect, for you too. ♥

[She's used to hanging out with dead people, after all. You have to be, when you're summoned to re-kill all the legendary heroes.]

[deviances]

I find that in drink a lot. [ He tries for a grin~ Even if it falls a little short, because he is legitimately concerned. ] Wanna hit up the bars on the Iskaulit?

voice

[candyconsumption]

[ There is a faint breath that sounds vaguely like a laugh. ] ...I thought the same when I arrived. I'm not so sure, now.
