[TEXT] UN: STOPMESSAGES

[eyeforaneye]

A number of things.

First, I want to know how many people are familiar with ninja and the shinobi world.

Second, I’m interested in increasing my knowledge when it comes to the technology on the ship.

Third, in connection with the second point, is there a way to stop others from being able to send messages to your communicator? Stopping all of them temporarily would also be acceptable.

[ That's it, Sasuke's first message, no name attached and no hint of an introduction in sight. Still, it's downright personable for him. ]

3/3

[eyeforaneye]

Then why can I still see your messages and information?

[liquidate]

that's a fake profile
so you think you're not blocked
this message is automatic

[eyeforaneye]

[ ... ]

I discovered the entrance to the ship's black markets. They have a certain selection of swords available.

[liquidate]

I'M ON MY WAY OVER!!!!!!

[eyeforaneye]

[ YOU ARE THE MOST PREDICTABLE NINJA EVER ]

2/2

[eyeforaneye]

I knew it.

[liquidate]

ok so i was lying, whatever
where are the swords???

[eyeforaneye]

You should know by now that I dislike lies. That's a waste of time for both of us.

[liquidate]

fine fine
where are the swords?????

[eyeforaneye]

I'll show you in person a little later. For now I'm responding to the rest of these messages.

[liquidate]

why don't you just tell me so i can go myself?
i'm feeling pretty bare here sasuke
not to mention you've already got a sword and i don't, so it's not important to you

[eyeforaneye]

The fact that you have no weapons is important to me. [ Actually. ]

I've factored it into my decisions here so far and have considered allowing you to use Kusanagi until you find a replacement. The entrance to that place is subtle, however, and difficult to describe. It's probably unwise to discuss like this anyway.

If you come to my room I can show you more quickly.

[liquidate]

(well, something like that's never been said to him before.

processing...)

kusanagi??

(he does like that sword quite a bit, despite it lacking the more special talents orochimaru's did. it's light, durable, and has impressive balance. suigetsu can't sniff at those qualities, especially when he hasn't examined any of the other options available to him.)

right now?
i thought you were busy replying to messages?

[eyeforaneye]

I'm already losing time replying to yours. Besides, it's the fastest way of doing things.

[ A split second of eye contact and all.

Though in his heart of hearts Sasuke knows this is going to take longer. It always does, with Suigetsu. ]

[liquidate]

okay i'm already here at your door
i'm coming in

(SURE ENOUGH...

even reaper gets knocks, but sasuke doesn't, seeping right underneath the door like it's just another monday. gathering himself up off of the floor with a raise of his arms.)

It's meeeee.

[eyeforaneye]

[ It takes a full thirty seconds before Sasuke finally looks up and over. Please say you held that position dramatically the entire time. ]

Aa. Come closer than that.

[liquidate]

(he did.

he held it.

now he's walking right over, arms lowering. stops just short of him.)

Is this good?

[eyeforaneye]

It's fine.

[ Even if he's looking back at his communicator, reading another quick message before glancing back up... though now with red eyes.

It's barely a split second of eye contact that allows him to establish the connection he needs with Suigetsu, showing him images of the ship in a quick first person beeline to the entrance he'd described. There's the marking on the wall to signal its location, stark and highlighted in the illusion. ]

The prices are high. You'll probably have to haggle.

... don't kill anyone.

[liquidate]

(having his mind broken into is jarring every time, even if it's only to have a picture placed there like it's his own memory. all in all, it's fine when it's over. the symbol makes him tilt his head when it's all said and done, giving a little "whew" of a sigh, rubbing at the nape of his neck.

what a weird black market.)

If you say so... Even though that's the fun part of haggling.

(and like sasuke's heart suggested, suigetsu crouches, stares up, and looks him over.)

If I can't find anything worthwhile, you really mean it? About Kusanagi?

[eyeforaneye]

[ He keeps his eyes on him a moment longer than is truly necessary, ensuring that the illusion's had no unpleasant effects. ]

... do you believe that I'm cruel enough to lie to you about it without any reason?

[liquidate]

(cruel? maybe. a liar? not a good one.)

Well, you don't lie all that often. You're more of an "omit altogether" kinda guy. I'm just checking again.

[eyeforaneye]

[ Sasuke pauses again before easing himself up from his seated position on his bed, moving closer to the door instead. With a bend at the waist and then a turn he presents that sheathed sword, holding it out. ]

I'll expect it returned soon.
