thirty crows (朱) action/video (time shift catch-all)
September 22nd - closed to Law
[Itachi leaves his bedroom as usual, but exits it at death's door.
The time shift, catching him moments before he would conclude a fight with his brother, moments before the time he was brought from into Luceti in the first place, dumps a bleeding, wreck of a man out the other side of the doorway. The ninja staggers, a bloody arm that had been held out in front of him catching onto the opposite wall of the hallway.
So ready. He'd been so ready. What's going on? Literal moments away from dying, prepared to give into the inevitable, Itachi now finds himself having to do his damnedest to keep himself breathing. The orange glow of Susano'o at first barely surrounding him as he arrived, fades away into nothing as he fights against the darkness at the edge of his vision.
Where is Sasuke?
Coughing, his free hand covering his mouth as blood ran through his fingers, the man leaned further against the wall, the last of his adrenaline leaving him.]
September 23rd - OTA
[Late in the day, after a fair amount of rest, Itachi finds his journal and spends a while reading through it. The other entries become too confusing after a while, but he at last tries to make one of his own. After all, it does seem to be a form of communication.]
I'm looking for Uchiha Sasuke.
September 24th - OTA
[After a failed attempt at trying to get up and make his own breakfast, the ninja will eventually escape the house by way of a substitution technique and wander the town. The clothing is slightly ill-fitting, as the Itachi that's been living in Luceti for the past four years is a fair bit healthier than the one walking slowly through it now.
Don't worry. The cough isn't contagious.
He can be found in basically any building around the town center, and eventually sitting wearily at the fountain.]
September 25th
[Officially banned to the house, but still this older self until he wakes up the morning of the 26th.]

Itachi doesn't miss the name and the way it's said. This person was indeed someone very important to his husband, and he wants to know about anyone who could have had that sort of influence.]

I got Doflamingo's attention. It was like he... recognized something. And was intrigued by it. Very intrigued.
He decided to allow me to stay while he thought it over. Train with the officers and executives of the crew.
[Eyes slowly open again, and they're red with the Sharingan. Law had turned off the ability earlier during their conversation, but now it's come surging back.
Eyes that reflect the heart.]
He handed me off to Trebol and Diamante, two of the executives... the squad leaders of the crew. Not their real names, mind you... their titles. Most of that crew uses code names. Diamante was the leader of the combat division - he's the one who taught me swordsmanship... and Trebol was in charge of those who had unique abilities that would be... beneficial to Doflamingo's activities. I had yet to meet Pica, who was in charge of covert ops... and Corazon, the right hand...
They enjoyed poking me about my impending death, but they weren't treating me like a insidious plague monster. All and all... that wasn't bad treatment...
[If these aren't sounding like typical pirates... well, the hints had been in Law's own varied skills. The way he's oddly... ninja like in his own fashion.]
They had seen a lot of kids try to join, and practically all had been sent running. Most adults too. The lifestyle's harsh, the Donquixote Family's harsher. Then, on top of that there was Cora-san...
There were a few kids still left: Buffalo and Baby 5... Dellinger, who was an infant at the time. I saw the first two waiting at the window. They were eagerly anticipating something.
That's when Cora-san stomped in the door from a job. Slipped, and went flying. Baby 5 and Buffalo couldn't stop laughing and I couldn't stop staring. Pranked.
He sent them flying in turn.
Not that that would stop them from pranking him again. It was a vicious cycle. He'd abuse them, they'd find some way to humiliate him.
Then Cora-san turned his attention to me. Diamante explained that Cora-san was an executive and Doflamingo's brother. Inattentive, clumsy, really bad habit of setting himself on fire, idiotic... and mute due to trauma in his past. And... as Cora-san grabbed me... that he hated kids.
Then Cora-san threw me out the window. I went plummeting down two stories into a scrap heap of steel. It nearly killed me.
[There's such a strange mix of 'oh for god sakes', 'what the hell was I thinking?', horror, self loathing, and guilt in his next words.]
I decided to kill him on the spot.
[Not the first meeting you were expecting, right?!]
no subject
And Law... well he might think better of it now, but it isn't as if he'd been in the best state of mind then. Itachi finds very little he can blame him for.
Given what he'd done to his brother, it would be wrong of him to even judge.]
