02 ❝second cut; chip removal [japanese]

[ AUDIO/VIDEO/TEXT ]

[ The communicator clicks on. Immediately the sound of dripping, a hollow sort of clawing and then a loud splash crackles through the speakers. ]

No, I don't want to record, how do I- can't turn this off, where's the button for this... shit, this is embarrassing. Ah, whatever. [ Suigetsu has had no shame for the majority of his life anyway, why start feeling sheepish now? It's clear, however, that the communicator is half-submerged in water held in what appears to be a bathtub. It's why the audio is muffled, why the video is bubbly and obscure.

He tries to gather his liquid form up, managing a head and shoulders, but his skin is oozing and he drops right back down again. The most he can handle at the moment is getting his chin above the surface, hair fanning out around him. ]

Fuck this!

[ ACTION ]

Sasukeee...?

[ For anyone in 1113 in Dissimulo, Suigetsu might need some help. He's feeling kind of hungry and a lot bored. He doesn't mind whining like a little bitch about his condition, especially to his teammate. There's a long pause before he decides to try him again. ]

Sasuke, answer me, I know you're out there! You can't avoid me forever!

[ He splashes around for a bit, mouth submerged so he can blow tiny, angry bubbles. Then he resorts to more indirect methods. Soon, he may explore the pipes, but for now, he settles into his porcelain basin. ]

Cliiiiiiive?

[eyeforaneye]

Ah. That. [ He's quiet for a moment or so, not bothered by the nature of the object he received. No, it's the thought of whose eyes they are in the first place that makes him hesitate. ]

If these eyes fail, I will have the option of replacing them. Successful or not, it's a chance.

[action]

[liquidate]

[ Suigetsu realizes the only person he could have gotten them from is Itachi. He doesn't press it the matter. ]

A chance... well if you think that chance has a high enough success rate, go for it. If you go blind...?

[action]

[eyeforaneye]

... Yeah. Something might happen here that requires me to go all out. If that happens it could damage my sight significantly.

[action]

[liquidate]

Nothing like that's gonna happen, alright?

[action]

[eyeforaneye]

Mm. Having a plan just in case is still wise. [ Ever since they fought Killer Bee he's noticed a change in his eyesight, after all. ]

[action]

[liquidate]

You were always the brains behind the operation. [ He shrugs. ] Doctor in mind?

[action]

[eyeforaneye]

[ Save your energy for non-shrug-related activities, Sui-blob. ] Yeah. I've got one. It'll be a pain.

[action]

[liquidate]

It's that Sakura chick, isn't it. It is, isn't it?

[action]

[eyeforaneye]

Is that a problem for you? I doubt she'll try anything strange.

[action]

[liquidate]

What if she sabotages the surgery?

[action]

[eyeforaneye]

She has no reason to do that. If you want to be there as well, I don't care.

[action]

[liquidate]

Fuck yeah I'm going, like I'd let that pink woman mess with you.

[action]

[eyeforaneye]

I don't think that she'll attempt to kill me. They're both very soft.

[action]

[liquidate]

I didn't say kill, but she seems like the type of bitch to screw us over!!

[action]

[eyeforaneye]

I doubt it'll happen, but that's why you'll be there. I'll count on you.

[action]

[liquidate]

I'll be watching. Closely. Guess I finally get to meet your old teammates. [ He smirks. ]

[action]

[eyeforaneye]

... Don't start any fights. It'll be hard enough for me not to. [ He is not looking forward to this meeting, not one bit. ]

[action]

[liquidate]

We're not going to get along. But I'm not gonna mess around. [ Not when it comes to Sasuke's eyes. ]

[action]

[eyeforaneye]

I'm not going to ask you to like them. It's easier for me if you don't. [ Which is worse, Suigetsu befriending them or Suigetsu killing them? He's temporarily unsure. ]

[action]

[liquidate]

[ Good thing he already doesn't like Naruto. ]

They sound boring, fuck that.

[action]

[eyeforaneye]

They're too kind-hearted to mesh well with someone like you.

[action]

[liquidate]

Haha, yeah probably not a likely thing that would happen.

[action]

[eyeforaneye]

[ At long last he's approaching their new home, not exactly looking forward to Suigetsu's possible interactions with Sora. ]

Ah, do something for me. Wait to speak with her until you're in control of yourself again.

[action]

[liquidate]

I wasn't gonna. I wanna make sure I can make at least a solid backhand before that.

[action] 1/2

[eyeforaneye]

. . . Suigetsu.
