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?]

Comments

[beforethedarkness]

[...

Why's he going along with this. He sighs and gets to his feet, nodding to his Dratini to follow them before he starts going down the stairs.]

I'm letting Lightning know where we're going first.

[Assuming this is after he's helped her with sanding off the deck of course...]

Video; [LOCKED FOREVER]

[beforethedarkness]

When I get my hands on you you're going to wish you were never born.

[Oh yes you are. THAT EXPRESSION OF HIS LOOKS KIND OF SADISTIC, NARUTO.]

Video, just slinking on in here

[beforethedarkness]

No.

[Yeah he's not about to let himself get teased by the woman who was 'smart' enough to post to the open network with a hangover. Worst Hokage ever...]

[aburame]

... I had similar thoughts.

An organised event like this would have at least some sort of security, as well as attract enough people to use as cover...

[In other words, the gain is greater than the potential to lose.]

ACTION

[usedswift]

Mm.

[She nuzzles her again and smiles a little, petting all down the length of her skin.]

How do you know you won't have fun at the prom-thing if you've never been a party?

Action!

[beforethedarkness]

They're a little big but they'll work.

[Meaning that they're not loose enough to be detrimental, at least not in Sasuke's eyes. He grabs one of the squares before starting on one of the bars on the other side.

Huh... It's almost like working on a D-rank mission again, though not quite as irritating as some of them could get. Better than chasing that stupid cat Tora, anyway.]

[beforethedarkness]

[Excuse him focusing on that 'chan'. That may be his eye twitching...]

... I'm Sasuke.

[video]

[beforethedarkness]

It's not exactly my idea of fun.

[beforethedarkness]

This is also the first time they've opened it up to the public. You have to wonder what they were hiding before, and why.

ACTION

[beforethedarkness]

[The Dratini seems to enjoy the attention and makes a little noise, closing her eyes and relaxing beneath Tenten's palm.

After a moment Sasuke ends up sighing again, shaking his head and looking away from Tenten.]

...

[Now if only he had an answer for her.]

ACTION

[usedswift]

[That's okay. She'll wait. And play with the baby dragon while she does.]

ACTION

[beforethedarkness]

...

Too many people.

ACTION

[usedswift]

[She tilts her head and glances t, fingers still absently running along the Dratini's skin. Hopefully he doesn't notice that light flush.]

Well... If you don't want to get stuck with a whole bunch of different people... You could stick around me most of the time. I won't mind.

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

Have you ever been to a party before?

ACTION

[beforethedarkness]

[Excuse him for blinking just a little, he's not expecting it. He stares briefly before glancing forward, humming after a beat.]

Maybe.

[Video]

[beforethedarkness]

... Not that I remember.

Re: [Video]

[bakaitoukid]

Then how d'you know it's not your idea of fun? Who knows, you could go and wind up really enjoying it.

Re: [Video]

[beforethedarkness]

Too many people.

action

[saxsongs]

[Since they're in the same house, Ren doesn't bother answering to the feed. Just don't mind the few small bruises he has on his face. He was too lazy to cover them up.]

Parties are held so that people can relax and have some fun. They're also good placed to meet new people and gather valuable information.

[Video]

[bakaitoukid]

[. . . aha]

Not a people person, then.

Video; [LOCKED FOREVER]

[believeit]

[Yeah he sees it. Reminds him a lot of their Team 7 days, actually.]

Not gonna happen.

Video, >[

[believeit]

Ba-chan......

[no....]

ACTION

[usedswift]

[That stare makes her nervous, inspiring a quick laugh as she focuses all her attention on the dragon.]

Good. I've got rare Pokémon to catch and a birthday to celebrate a month late. It'll be fun, promise. Even for you.

[itsjustdust]

[He sighed.]

If you think she won't insist on going with us. I'm gonna see if Evan's even home.

Action!

[soggypastry]

[She nods, then returns to her own bar. It's slow work, but steady. Something to do with her hands when there's little else to do around the house. At least like this she can make herself useful.

After a few minutes of sanding, however, she looks back up at him and cants her head.]

You thinking of going to the party?
