To the one who sent me those cookies:

I know who you are. I will find you, even if it takes the rest of my life. And I will make you wish that you were never born by the time I'm done with you.

[Enjoy that threatening text, network. Blame the fact that he doesn't have the bastard's pokégear information for it being broadcast publicly, though. But anyone who's around Sasuke at the time will likely see it as the first explicit show of emotion from him since he arrived in Route.]

I'm going to make sure he doesn't try it again.

...So who did he hurt that has you so worked up anyway?

And don't you dare say it doesn't matter.

None of your business.

[Well, he didn't say "It doesn't matter".]

*She will leave it alone, it shouldn't be too hard to find out via other means.*

Who do you think sent out the cookies?

... Bowser.

Really?

Man, even for that Koopa this feels low.

I mean, sure, he'd take an army and conquer the world, or kidnap a princess, or cheat at Tennis. But I figured poisoning people was beneath him.

That jerk needs a reality check...

I plan on giving him one.

Yeah... about that.

It's a stupid plan, you won't actually make it better. I mean, the best you can hope for is to get his focus on you, he knows how to hold a grudge. So he doesn't go trying to kidnap anyone.

He's been an evil jerkface for forever, he won't actually end up afraid of you or anything. Just more angry, and more likely to do something like this again.

[He's taking the words to heart, and if anything shows it it's his silence. Frowning, and thinking them over, so that quiet holds for a long time before he finally speaks again.]

Then I won't be near anyone else. Not until I can make sure he can't hurt them again.

That's a bad plan too.

*Stupid boy with your stupid self-sacrificing stupid*

You'll do a better job protecting people you care about by sticking near them. Bowser's a bully, he's not going to stop pickin' on people, ever. He might not target your friends if you aren't around...

But he didn't only target you with the cookies. You're better off staying close to them, in case his random acts of meanness hit them again.

Not if I can stop him first.

[for_realsies]

How do you plan to do that?

I want you to stop him but, he isn't someone that gets stopped. Just... stymied for a little while.

I'll find a way.

I think that translates into "No plan at all, but it's super annoying you asked that question"?

[beforethedarkness]

It means I'll find a way.
