[There's a little click as the PCD turns on, Itachi's voice is slightly muffled and bordering on stressed.]

What.
The.
Hell.

Was that? It looked like a kitten.

[The rustle of cloth and a faint, organic squishing noise.]

... I need a sword. I'd rather not face these at close range or waste kunai on them.

[Itachi's voice returns to a semblance of calm after a moment.]

Is there anyone here who makes or sells swords?

[Itachi's voice is mildly bemused.]

Indeed I can.

[She snorts.]

Yeah, you're just as dependant as I am...honestly how we get by is beyond me.

Roughing it would be much more appealling with more grass around.

I don't think you'd go out and hurt someone for absolutely no reason...

What if my reasons did not sit well with you? My idea of a good reason may not be yours.

So feel free to come by anytime you need something made.

Obviously we somehow find people to take care of our helpless selves.

Or trees.

Thank you. I will.

Are you familiar with how to fashion kunai?

[identity profile] stalwart-flame.livejournal.com 2008-08-17 03:44 am (UTC)(link)
That may be, but as hard as it would be to face that I would...I have before. I'm just a kid, but that doesn't make much difference when it comes down to it.

[identity profile] kin-slayer.livejournal.com 2008-08-17 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
You are quite resigned about it.

It is not an entirely unlikely event, I wanted to know what your reaction would be.

Oh right...until they leave, then you'll find me in a corner crying.

I'll take trees over rubble.

[Sniffing, a sqeal, a snap, and a thud]

Stupid rabbits...at least I've got breakfast.

[identity profile] stalwart-flame.livejournal.com 2008-08-17 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
The idea is nothing new, I've even had it happen towards a goal a thousand times worse than hurting someone...

That would depend entirely on the specific situation.

I'm sure I'll be sniveling next to you.

These ruins are unnatural. They... For want of a better way of putting it, smell wrong.

... I have yet to encounter the rabbits. I take it they aren't poisonous as well as flesh-eating, then?

[identity profile] kin-slayer.livejournal.com 2008-08-17 04:01 am (UTC)(link)
Hm. Understandable.

Okay, enough about our helplessness...Well I'm sure that I could tell you what if I were to sniff around, but that would have to wait a week or few.

Not poisonous at all...they're actually pretty good.

No problem, Skyler still likes him. He hasn't done anything yet.

I'm surprised he didn't ask what could be worse than hurting someone...since it's Skyler.

I think the most... obvious job for those who can destroy things... is to destroy things. The two greatest problems I fear our group faces is monsters, which while they must be handled, are seemingly a never ending resource, and the amount of urban waste in the area.

Many of the buildings around here go completely unused, and the rebar, copper piping, and other building materials could be extremely useful in erecting and reinforcing the buildings that we do use.

And of course, there seems to be a tantalizing amount of useful things in the wastelands, if such areas can be tamed. I've been out there several times before, and there are always things that must be killed... These are probably the two things that men such as us would be best suited for.

I am not adverse to this idea. It will at least keep me busy for now. Wari-san has promised to forge me a sword once I bring the materials--and until the blade is finished I will still be quite able to fight.

It is not so different an occupation then I held previously.

Itachi just tests people a lot, and has no problem asking difficult questions, nor does he really care if people hate him for it.

Itachi knows there's things far worse then physical harm that can befall someone, one of his chief weapons is basically mental torture--he can defeat someone without leaving a single physical mark. So... He can understand if someone thinks there's worse things then being hurt.

Hm.

I know what--In my world cities are few and distantly spaced. Paving is rare and even in the largest cities asphalt isn't that common--usually flagstones or packed earth make up the streets.

It smells artificial.

I'll remember that. They would make a good food supply, likely.

Ah good point.

Probably is then.

They're the staple food in this house.

I think I would balance my own diet as much as possible in this place, but if they are edible and nutritious I may make a point of utilizing them as a food source.

A movie in my world, a comedy. There's these knights on a quest to find the holy grail and along the way they find a cave guarded by a killer rabbit.

While they have a voracious appetite, they do not seem dangerous unless provoked or feel they or their young are in danger. It's quite curious.
