Voicemail (2013 Run)

You've reached Sasuke. Leave a message. If it's important, I'll reply when I can.

[[OoC: IC/OoC plotting can happen here whether you can/want to reach me through other means (IE Plurk) or not! Video, Voice and Text are enabled for messaging Sasuke!]]

[He doesn't say anything as Naruto makes to leave, nor does he look at him. Good. He wants to be alone ~~forever alone~~. :|]

[Whatever Sasuke. HE'LL BE BACK.]

[One person who wasn't there until he was assigned to them after at least six years. Etro, what kind of world did that to its own children? Obviously one that didn't care enough, from the sounds of things.

She's not surprised he doesn't know what to do, though--his entire world view's been flipped and she knows how that feels.]

You should keep your distance from him until you do. Figure things out. [She pauses, shaking her head.] Maybe keep your distance from all of them.

[Actually it's five, but it's not like Sasuke can correct it. Even if he could, he wouldn't want to then and there. A detail like that just seems so insignificant after all he's talked about.

He finally raises his head again, expression steely and cold as he looks to the ocean in an effort to mask the emotions swirling around inside of him.]

... Maybe.

[Truthfully, he had already been planning on separating himself for a while. He didn't want to be near anyone anymore, not with what he found out. After a beat he pulled the headband out of his bag, glaring at it as his fist clenched around the cloth and metal in his palm.]

Naruto already tried to convince me to not hate the village for it.

[Having turned at his movement, she frowns as he clenches that headband like his life depends on it. Something's going on here--something he's not telling her, but she won't ask. Not now.]

Tried? [Judging from his reaction, Naruto failed would be the more appropriate term.]

[He paused, trying to find the words before he spoke again.]

A village who wanted nothing more than the death of me and my family, who wouldn't accept me just because of my name. A village that left me alone after I'd lost everything.

I know that revenge won't do anything. No matter what I do, it won't bring back what I've lost. But I don't want to go back to them, either - I can't forgive them for what they've done.

[Despite her racing mind, she knows what to say to that.]

So don't. [Forgive or go back--which does she mean? Both.] When you go back, leave. Retire from your squad and leave. Live your life the way you want to and don't give them anything else. [She glances out to the waves, remembering something, before she continues.] But while you're here, don't think about it. You'll just make things worse for yourself.

[It's all he can do to bring himself to nod, showing that he's listening and at least considering the notion. The head protector is slipped away then, and he leans forward to rest his chin on his arms again.]

... Not sure I can help thinking about it.

[She shakes her head, hands clenching around the material of her pants again as she tries to keep her tone even. She knows how this feels.]

You can't let it eat at you, Sasuke. There's nothing you can do about it from here, and you're better off forgetting about it.

I would have been better off forgetting about everything I'd lost, too. That doesn't mean I can or should.

I'm super super super crazy intensely majorly sorry I'm late! I only intended to check on some stuff and ended up getting sidetracked, then Val was in town then after she left I was going to come and SENSEI and then that happened and Kushina-nee kept me longer but I'm here now!!!

I'm so so so so so so so Sorry!

Sasukeeeee? Tenten told me where the hotel was when she cleared out but you're not here. I'll wait but you are coming back right?

I'm really getting the impression that you're not coming back to the hotel room Sasuke and I get it, I was stupidly over the top late and Sensei always said I'd regret it sometime but you can at least tell me you didn't like... get Bowser napped right?

Okay, I've officially decided that you no longer intend to come back to this hotel room, and I probably should have realized this sooner but all your stuff is gone.

That's not what I meant. [she swallows hard, sighs, and closes her eyes.] Don't forget what happened or what you've learned, but don't think about it. If you let it eat at you while you're here, what do you think will happen?

So I decided to check around Lightning's place for you to see if you ended up there, which is clearly a no. At least if you were I didn't see you, which was fun when trying to make sure they didn't see me by the way.

I checked again this morning! One of the pokemon almost spotted meeeeee. I'm out of practice. I'll work on my stealth while I'm doing all this stuff, I swear.

Hey. Hey. Sasuke. I wasn't with Itachi this whole time! He got mad at me for being stupid and not telling anyone where I was when I messaged sensei. Are you mad about that? Because I didn't think to tell anyone I was delayed, it wasn't just you!

Okay I put that badly. I was stupid and should have told you I was delayed no matter what the reason was!

Don't be maaaaaaaaaaad.

Okay if that's not it is it because I didn't come right with you? Yes, no?

[He heaves a little sigh at that, closing his eyes and slumping a little where he sits.]

... What else can I do?

OH KAMI. IS IT BECAUSE I SENT TENTEN?!

[It's obvious he just rolled out of bed and it's still dark out no less.]

Sasuke I just had a dream you got kidnapped by Tsunade.

... you didn't really get kidnapped by Tsunade, did you?
