17th Tomoe || Video, Action for House of Minnie

[beforethedarkness]

[Sasuke's sitting on his bed when the video goes on, and he's holding an egg... With a Dratini hanging around his shoulders and looking at the camera?

Looks kind of small though. Maybe a baby Dratini? Whatever it is, it looks interested in the camera -- and said camera gets pulled away briefly before the focus returns to Sasuke, and in his free hand -- oh hey his cast is gone! -- He's holding up a silver ticket that a lot of trainers seem to have gotten...]

What's the point of going to a party like this or there being a party like this in the first place? It seems like a huge waste of time.

[Sasuke, in other words, is asking what's so special about Prom. Care to explain?]

ACTION

[beforethedarkness]

We were going to Cianwood soon, remember?

[Audio]

[beforethedarkness]

[Noticing that. He'll let it distract him for now and ask.]

... I can come out there and help if you need it.

[Easier now that he doesn't have a freaking cast anymore...]

Video;

[beforethedarkness]

He's going to be there too! You can punch him all you want there!

Video;

[believeit]

Fine! Maybe I will!

[itsjustdust]

Right. But you care about the other stuff so that's good enough. Okay. Let's go. We should probably grab Evan too...

Video;

[beforethedarkness]

I don't care what you do, just leave me out of it.

[Finally...]

[Audio]

[soggypastry]

[A pause. She doesn't need it, no, but...]

There's work gloves in the kitchen drawers. You'll need a pair before you come out.

[Take it as a "sure" and come on out, Sasbutt. Just watch your fingers. Splinters are terrible companions.]

ACTION

[usedswift]

Yeah. I'll just throw Joonhee on Jinwu and carry him along with us. Dave-san and John, too.

This is probably the last chance we'll get to see a lot of our friends before we're on the road and on the run again for who knows how long. Can't you find anything good about that?

[beforethedarkness]

Go where?

Video;

[believeit]

I'm definitely going to punch him at that party.

ACTION

[beforethedarkness]

[Big sigh.]

...

... ... ...

Never been to a party before.

[Audio] -> Action!

[beforethedarkness]

Got it.

[He disconnects there and settles his Dratini onto the bed before going down, and after a couple of minutes he's walking out to the deck where Lightning is. Just what exactly is she doing out here anyway?]

VIDEO | locked

[aburame]

... You look well.

[It's a... conversation starter. The cast is gone, at least.]

Video;

[beforethedarkness]

Do whatever you want.

ACTION

[usedswift]

[Well, him speaking quietly is as good a reason as any to move over and take a seat near him, though not as close as she might have otherwise.]

So? I've never been to a big one, but I figure as long as you're with your friends and comrades, you'll be alright.

You might have a good time by accident.

VIDEO | locked

[beforethedarkness]

... Better than I was.

[Well, save for being a little rattled because of a certain blond idiot...]

ACTION

[beforethedarkness]

[He just hums at that, looking away from her and frowning.]

Video;

[believeit]

Oi are you really not gonna go? Even if everyone else is?

Video;

[beforethedarkness]

[BIG SIGH.]

No. They're not going to leave me alone here if they're all going.

VIDEO | locked

[aburame]

I suppose you aware that the above conversation between Naruto and yourself is public?

[Thanks to Obito for notifying him. City names and locations were being thrown around too.]

ACTION

[usedswift]

[She just sighs and rests both hands back against the bed. Obito had made it sound so easy...]

Is that the Dratini I gave you...?

VIDEO | locked

[beforethedarkness]

[Excuse him what.

Also only Celadon was thrown around, Sasuke's kept his mouth shut about Olivine TYVM.

Just... Silent. Staring. You have to say it again Shino.]

Video;

[believeit]

[Sounds boring.]

Fine.

ACTION

[beforethedarkness]

Yeah. She hatched the other day.

Video; 1/2

[beforethedarkness]

...

... ... ...

[Give him a moment, he looks pale.]
