Three Necessary Lies ✧ Text | Action

[jikogisei]

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.]

Comments

[Action!]

[whatoncewas]

I think... yes. [If nothing else... he would have been able to talk about it freely with someone, and she suspected that was something he never did, even if he had talked to Sasuke.]

Tell me?

: Action

[boundbyheart]

I suppose I'll lodge there for the night, then. I assume you plan to go through the town.

[Action!]

[jikogisei]

I can show you.

[His sharigan was fully operational this weekend. Not something he had available when he told Sasuke and the others.]

Action

[jikogisei]

After I finish my business there, yes. It may take a couple of days.

[Then he'll be moving on.]

[Action!] And then I cracked up laughing because every adult male Itachi I've seen has done this.

[whatoncewas]

[She peered at him for a long moment, then nodded once, turning to properly make eye contact.]

If that's the way that you'd prefer.

[beforethedarkness]

I was a weak and cowardly child. What could I have done that would have changed him...

Always... Right until the end... He was always looking at you, even when he was looking at me he always compared me to you, to how wonderful you were...

Re: Action

[boundbyheart]

I suppose we could travel together, then. At least, until I decide otherwise.

[Not even asking if he wants to.]

[for_realsies]

Oh... And he won't travel with you?

I mean, I would hate to travel with my step-siblings, but my family life is kinda crazy.

[jikogisei]

We are not on the best of terms at the moment.

[At least Sasuke hasn't tried to kill him this time around.]

[Action!] lmao, easiest way to show/tell people

[jikogisei]

[He stopped then, his sharigan swirling to life with red and black. Utakata is cast and she is witness to nearly everything - from Shisui to leaving with "Madara". Everything except a lot of the in-depth details of the deaths of the clan members he killed. Then the jutsu ends and he says nothing.]

Action

[jikogisei]

If that is what you wish.

[Not even complaining because he suspects she'll be gone soon.]

[jikogisei]

That is not true. You were strong and determined.

You made him look at you, made him hear you when he was so obsessed with his plans. I ran away while you would have chased after him.

Action

[boundbyheart]

It is. You don't care one way or the other?

[She hates it when someone is on the fence. It annoys her greatly.]

[Action!] so trueee, also, Imma assume you didn't actually mean to put Utakata there.

[whatoncewas]

[She was quiet for a very long moment, staring up at him, studying his face, his posture, everything. Then, she stepped forward and wrapped her arms around his waist to hug him, because now it was more than appropriate.]

I think people have had more luck retaining things that they've written down the past few times this has occurred, but there's no guarantee that some of that won't be destroyed.

thats fascinating!
although i suppose i should be used to multiple selves
your world sounds like an interesting one itachi

[beforethedarkness]

[Sasuke doesn't answer, instead just clinging to Itachi and resting his weight against him for the moment. Still, he isn't quite sure he believes Itachi; he's only ever known his father to compare him to Itachi until he was sure that Itachi was a 'traitor', and only then...]
