Three Necessary Lies ✧ Text | Action

It would have been nice to have my abilities back seven days ago. My travel time would have been cut in half if I could have just walked across the water instead of having to detour through the mountain. Does anyone know exactly what's going on here?

Private to Sasuke

I'm a few hours away from Mahogany. [Look, he updated you. A little late but it's still an update.]

Action

[To anyone who finds themselves along Route 42 they may find themselves faced with a dark-haired Uchiha in a burgundy robe. He has his Growlithe traveling along with him and looks like he has a clear goal in mind. Itachi won't stop for anyone but he won't mind them coming along if they like.]

How did I get here?

*Other than her thicker glasses, and darker clothes. She's much less assure of herself.*

This isn't anything that normally happens in my life, and if some fantasy world were to kidnap me, I'd want to be in Narnia.

[Compliments go far with women. And Itachi's not about to judge her skills based of the single moment. As it was, shinobi women were tough and her attitude reminds him of a kunoichi.]

Itachi. You're a new arrival to this world, I take it.

No one knows. We all just wake up in this world with supplies.

[Again, more foreign words.]

Your references are wasted on me. Everyone you see here is a collection of people from different worlds and different times.

If he is, then I've never asked and he's never mentioned.

[She looked at him intently for a moment.] Were you?

Yes, but not for long.

[Because then he died again. But then he'll finally answer her original question.]

I am sick, yes. However upon waking in this world it appears to have lessened. I trust you will not repeat this to anyone you might meet while here.

[He doesn't want their concern or hovering because surely what will happen with some of them.]

Yeah. And you're not?

Not as new as you. I arrived here over a month ago.

So...you know your way around. [She could offer him a ride...in turn, he could tell her about this strange place.]

A bit, yes. This place is rather large and we are usually without our abilities.

[He would turn down the ride, he's come this far on foot and he'll finish it the same way. Though he won't turn her away if she wants to stay.]

Then....what are these animals about? Are they demons?

[She looks up at the HootHoot.]

They're strange for someone like me.

They're called Pokemon.

[Strange name, he knows.]

They're more like animal summons. They have various abilities like my Growlithe - as you saw - is a fire type so most of its skills are fire-based.

Pokemon....hm...and they all have different abilities? What might mine have?

[She crosses her arms, watching the Growlithe. It's interesting.]

I don't need summons to fight for me!

[She shook her head, looking sideways at him for a long moment.] I know when not to share something.

She paused, picking her words with care.]

For me it hasn't started.

[He eyes the Pokemon.]

I imagine it's a flying type. Most of them seem to have basic fighting skills along with a touch of elemental abilities.

I still have no intention of letting them fight for me. I don't even think they're worth fighting.

[For that he's grateful. He especially doesn't want Sasuke or Obito finding out.]

I imagine it would not be something one would want to see. Not in themselves.

You're right. I'm glad you've found a place that will tend to it properly. [She paused a beat, hesitating... then moved over a step so her arm was brushing his as they walked.]

It's good to see that not all things change with time though.

You may not have a choice in the matter if you stay around. There are wild Pokemon that will attack on your travels and without our own abilities it's difficult to defend yourself.

And you can collect a different Pokemon if this one doesn't suit you well enough.

[Itachi hasn't yet gone in for a medical exam, actually. Too many things distracting him. Maybe once he gets to Kanto he'll go to a hospital.]

It found me.

[He was fine being dead.]

And what is that?

[You really should probably get on that before someone notices something then.]

True, these places seem to have a habit of that. This is the second one for me. Hopefully I'll return there shortly.

[It took a moment for her to return to her initial point though.]

Just that you're still concerned about others. It's nice to see. Encouraging.

[That certainly is interesting.]

What is the other one like? Besides filled with multiples.

[Ah yes.]

That is something that never changes, no matter how I may appear.

There are the multiples... as well as a lot of family. The weather is...

[Watch her pause to hunt for an adjective that is sufficiently expressive. And fail.]

Bewildering.

[If it was anyone else except himself standing beside him, the bit of tension might have gone unnoticed when she said the word "family". He also avoids the subject all together.]

Bewildering?

[She moved her hand to lightly touch the back of his shoulder in a show of support, even if she didn't fully comprehend the depth of his pain.]

One day there will be lightening and heavy rains, the next the weather will turn blisteringly hot, and most recently, people were wandering around with personalized weather. Mine was fog. A bubble of fog I couldn't escape.

thats exactly it!
well
i assume a genjutsu is some sort of illusion so
i think this is less an illusion and more a temporary state of reality though :D
