[The PCD clicks on, a hand moving away and the owner seemingly unaware that the recording function has been activated. The PCD is on a ledge facing a ruined lot of crumbling buildings near the edge of the Safe Zone. Itachi steps into view, minus his cloak and hat.]

[The Uchiha begins by doing a few fluid taijutsu exercises, slow for the first round, easily followed, then increasing in speed on the next set until he blurs on the camera. Flowing seamlessly from the taijutsu, he makes a clone, sparing with himself. For a while the techniques are purely hand to hand and weapons, using kunai and tricks. He seems to be focusing on form and control, precision, since his movements slow again once he makes the clone.]

[He pauses, fingers whipping through hand-seals--conveniently the camera catches the seals--and sends a flock of burning black genjutsu crows to demolish his clone, which dodges the attack, he looks ready to continue when he glances over and notices the recording light on the PCD. Instantly he returns to the ledge, switching the feed off, his expression dark and annoyed.]

I see Sasuke has returned. Try to keep him on a short leash, Kakashi-san, if you would. I have no interest in babysitting, and I have no time to teach him lessons.

Kenpachi-san, I've left something with Unohana-san for you.

( [Private to Konan | Unhackable] )

[Vaguely irritated sounding]

Vincent-san, please take care of the cats.

Sasuke, I'll be staying at Unohana-san's clinic to assist Rukia-san for now.

Kakashi-san, I know it disappoints you but I am quite well and whole. We'll have to postpone tea, however, until all this monkey business is over.

I dare say a number of people will be posting anyway, but I might as well inquire;

Unohana-san, how is the clinic?

Neji-kun, your household? Not that I particularly will object if a certain wing happened to be tragically lost in the earthquake. These things happen.

Elrics, do send me a message if you're alive.

Michael-kun, your household and Lelouch-san's?

Kamui-san, not trapped I hope?

Anyone else wish to make it known they aren't crushed under buildings and snow?

[Piano music in the background of the scene. The PCD seems to have succumbed to that odd malfunction where it turns itself on. Again. The angle shows half of Itachi's room at Vincent's, with the shinobi seated on the floor, cross-legged and barefoot, an impressive assortment of weaponry spread in front of him on a cloth.

The ninja is carefully sharpening and cleaning each blade and setting it aside, taking detailed care with every weapon. Some of the tools are easily recognized, kunai, shuriken, a sword--but not the one Wari crafted for him. Others look more like shinto priest seals then weapons--these seals he runs his fingers over and occassionally does something with his fingers before putting the seals aside--some of them are recognizable as explosive tags, some of them the purpose is much more obscure.

Shadow comes up while Itachi is examining a scroll and proceeds to try to climb all over the ninja's lap and play with his ponytail. Itachi attempts to fend him off gently, but the kitten is very insistant, and keeps climbing Itachi's shirt. It probably hurts, but the man isn't flinching at the use of claws. Finally Itachi sets the scroll down, picks up the cat and turns the kitten to face him, eyes narrowed as he speaks sternly.]

You may have leeway with Sasuke, Shadow, but you are getting old enough to learn discipline. Now, behave before I make you believe you're a stupid pidgeon.

[The cat purrs and licks Itachi's nose, batting playfully at the man's bangs, and Itachi sighs. The feed times out.]

[Itachi is sitting in the window, Shadow asleep in his lap. His shirt is mostly buttoned, but the red of a very ugly fresh scar is just visible above his collar, the extent of the wound completely hidden. Both his arms rest in his lap, one concealed by the cat, the other absently tapping the PCD. The late evening sun illuminates half his face, highlighting red eyes. His expression is empty, but something about the play of light and shadows makes him look almost demonic.]

Apparently these events simply aren't entertaining enough for people. The spirits are slacking if others are going to such lengths to keep busy.

Speaking of which, I wonder what new entertainment they have in line for us tonight?

[He touches something on the screen and the feed cuts out as a filter is applied.]

((OOC: As a side note, crossover! I play Setsuna (Gundam) and Itachi (Crow) in ES, feel free to poke me if you would like to log with either of them. I'll probably be poking a number of you for the same thing in the next day or so.))

All this buzz makes me miss our quiet evenings together, Kakashi-san. How is cousin Obito? I still need to greet him. How negligent of me.

Yes there are monsters out. No, I would not recommend people go out alone. Especially those affected by this event. But if you feel so inclined, try to get eaten quietly and without mess.

I hear we have a new arrival from our world? It's starting to get so homey here.

[Added about half an hour later]

... Why is there a half mangled bunny and an old sock on the doorstep?

((OOC: Lulu, hope you don't mind Itachi finding the first of Cador's "gifts"))

Despite all the newcomers it seems... Quiet.

The weather is getting worse, I think what we need is a little Sunshine.

((OOC: Link is a downloadable audio attachment ICly.

And yes, finally caught up on all my logs I think. IF I OWE YOU A TAG LET ME KNOW. Otherwise, everything should indeed be tagged by Itachi. <3))

The kittens all appear to be accounted for. Even if Shadow continues to attempt to eat Sasuke, hair-first.

And we close in once again upon the appointed time--where we become mere amusement. I wonder what it shall be this time?

Any speculation?

I am personally all in favor of something creative.

Oh, Kakashi-san, how is my dear cousin? Have you quite finished filling his head with dire warnings? If I am going to come back by the house I would like to know whether or not I'm going to get any unexpected family reunions.

Lelouch-san, if you wanted me this afternoon I am free.

The dead seem to have a problem staying that way lately. I wonder who is next in encountering a face long buried? Oh won't that be fascinating when we find out.

I could kill for a steamed custard bun.

Kisame, when you return I have things I wish to discuss.

Alphonse-kun, it was enjoyable. We should do it again.

Arro-san, I hope the earplugs helped.

((OOC: Because I'm not sure where else to note this, in between other things, Itachi has been exploring and memorizing the city top to bottom.))

[The PCD has fallen and begun recording.]

"--You monster." [It's a woman's voice, shrill and angry and scared.] "How could you do this?"

"The clan's existence is an eyesore, Mother." [It's Itachi's voice but much younger, maybe very early teens, and it's flat and cold.]

"Don't call me that you murderer!" [The woman yells and there's the sounds of steel clashing followed by the woman's scream.] "FUGAKU!"

"... Mi... ko... to." [A man's voice, gurgling sickly.] ".... Run...."

[The woman yells incoherently and there's another clash of steel and a sick, organic noise and the woman's last choked words.] "...Monster."

"You are not...my... son..." [The man is dying, it's obvious in the sound of his voice.]

"Itachi!" [Voices from several direrctions, angry and shocked.] "You'll pay for this!"

"Then come at me." [The child Itachi's voice is completely devoid of emotion, uncaring. The sounds of another clash are cut off when the PCD is picked up and switched off.]

Reach me here if you need to speak to me. I may be difficult to locate otherwise.

[The PCD switches on and Itachi's voice is cool and neutral.]

As a general announcement, Raoh-san and I have set up a warehouse of sorts. We will be storing raw materials and other items of note we find there for general use. The coordinates are [x,y].

As a special aside, Sunshine, I heard this and I thought of you.

[A small clink like the PCD is being put down and then slightly staticy music. This song is played. When the song is over the PCD shuts off.]

Current Location: Blocked

[Itachi's voice is dryly amused.]

Vincent-san, Neji-kun, I have a question for you both:

What is your policy on pets?

Specifically, sharks?

I promise he is house-broken, but I am afraid if you insist on neutering him you will have to do it yourself.
