15th Tomoe || Video, Action for Goldenrod City

[beforethedarkness]

[A tired and quite irritated Sasuke is the first thing that shows up on the gear, and in the background behind him is Obito, Tenten, and Evan. It's obvious that they're outside in Goldenrod City, and although Sasuke looks a little worse for wear he's much better than he was after the Valentine's Attack was done.

Even if he still has bandages over burns and puncture marks and his right arm is still in a cast.]

If I don't answer a message the first time, leaving twenty more isn't going to make me answer any faster. I just went through 174 messages on my gear.

[A heavy sigh, and he shakes his head.]

I was in Ilex forest trying to catch some pokémon. I wanted to do it alone. That's all there is to it.

[Shutting off the video, because irritation is at maximum. He's going to go make Whitney cry get the Plain Badge now, if only because he never wants to be made that weak and vulnerable ever again.]

[...Kid you are a wreck. Lightning would ask what the hell happened but considering the message you sent her before...she thinks it's fairly obvious. And that you're fairly stupid at the moment.]

You went to the woods alone after an attack that left you like that?

[Video | Locked]

[beforethedarkness]

A broken arm doesn't effect pokémon training.

[... He's starting to hate that tone of voice of Lightning's. It's uncomfortable, even if he can't tell why at the moment.]

[She at least waited until he turned the 'gear off before approaching with all the fire in her step that even Lee and Neji knew not to mess with. Even if Sasuke were injured, the urge to grab him by the collar and shake him again was really strong. It would reinforce the lesson that if he ran off again, she'd kill him. Little rookie brat or not, he was still her comrade.]

Maybe if you answered the first time, you wouldn't have to wade through the messages. And here I thought you might have been kidnapped by Rockets, and me and my spy were gonna have to come kidnap you back.

[beforethedarkness]

[He blinks at that, frowning at her before he turns to look at her completely.]

What are you talking about.

[ video ]

[unended]

They were just worried. [ and rightly so, in his opinion...but he'll keep it to himself. ]

It'd be easier for you if you just let them know where you were before going off alone.

[ Video ]

[beforethedarkness]

... I didn't need to tell anyone before.

[Huff. Someone's petulant.]

[nasa_dreams]

Dude, you look like crap. [Because he cares, really.]

Video

[beforethedarkness]

... I'm fine.

[Danny caring? What is this thing you people call compassion.]

[itsjustdust]

[He waited until Tenten was finished chewing him out before going up to him and shoving a leaf in his face.]

Eat it, it'll make you feel better. Next time, take me with you.

[beforethedarkness]

... Why would a leaf make me feel better.

[Staring and completely ignoring that second part.]

[video]

[brokenmemories]

[...What the fuck happened Sasuke? Actually, don't answer that cause Misaki has an idea in mind.]

So you went out to the woods on your own where there might've had even more danger after that Valentine's day attack left you looking like that?

Did you receive massive head trauma too or are you that dense?

[Video]

[beforethedarkness]

I had protection.

(Video)

[bestofthebest]

...So you're the guy Tenten told me about back in Celadon. Name's Rainbow Dash!

Ha, and I thought I took serious risks while training. I think you even have me beat if you get hurt that much!

(Video)

[beforethedarkness]

[Wut. Wut is that hair. Rainbow, wut is that hair.

Give him a moment to stop staring before he answers.]

I didn't get injured from training.

[islandshore]

Sasuke.

[Have the most deadpan look, man. Just... Sasuke, pls.]

Always have to handle everyting yourself, huh?

Video

[beforethedarkness]

[Man, Riku, not you too. You're looking at Sasuke sitting by himself in his hotel room, now sporting a rather impressive looking black eye.]

... Yes.

[Audio]

[canthearyou]

[Oh look, it's the cloud guy again. Gordon's not going to ask about that right now though.]

WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU? ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

[Audio]

[beforethedarkness]

I'm fine.

[Which is code for stubborn as hell. Not in the mood for the crazy yelling guy right now, and yes he does remember him from Cherrygrove...]

[heartdive]

[ he's giving you a look, Sasuke. ]

Whoops is this action or video?

[beforethedarkness]

[Not returning that look, Sora. God let him sulk in peace. =/]

Action, sometime after Obito leaves

[falseshore]

[Knock knock on your room door, Sasuke.]

Hey, you okay in there?

Action forever works for me!

[beforethedarkness]

... I'm fine.

[Quiet, but he made sure to speak up just enough for Evan to hear him.]

[Action] - To make this all better for Sasuke.

[for_realsies]

*Hey look, someone's waiting outside the gym. She's all bright colors and too much energy. Plus a moody Absol on the bench while she's standing. She has her gear out.*

...Hey.

*At least she's not yelling, or energetic really. Just... there.*

[Action forever] Oh my~

[beforethedarkness]

[He stops, unsure of what to think of her then (oh hey Sasuke has a black eye now too, Immy), but eventually he does nod to regard her there. Not saying anything, but... Acknowledgement.]

[earthshattering]

I know you'll get tired of hearing it, but...it's sometimes better to let people know when you go somewhere alone.

[beforethedarkness]

I'm tired of having people close to me. I need to get stronger alone.

[Video to Private video]

[eyes_are_uphere]

[Lucky for him that Tsunade already sort of got word on Sasuke being around and the fact that he's younger. That sort of thing. Which actually helps his case out a lot and kills some of her ire over the whole situation.]

Sasuke.

[Switching over to private now, because wow she figured it out finally.]

What did you do to piss off someone like that?

[Private video]

[beforethedarkness]

...

[Give him a moment.]

Who are you?
