nine crows (朱) voice/action (forward-dated to morning)

[He can see. That's the first thing he realizes when he wakes up, staring at the ceiling. His eyesight isn't the best, still rather blurred, but it's there.

The next thing he notices is that his size is off. Again. And this isn't his bed. Very similar to his bed, yes, but not his. Neither is this his room, which means this probably isn't his apartment at all.

At least he's not a child again, and as he stands up to examine himself he realizes he's only been de-aged about...

...wait a minute.

He activates his Sharingan and blinks rapidly. There's something very different about it, and he walks briskly to the nearby bathroom in order to look at himself.

Ah. This was problematic.

Sasuke's face stares back at him, and he knows even as he looks at it that this must be his brother's apartment, meaning his younger sibling is most likely in HIS body in a similar situation. At least they'd each know where the other lived now.

Unsure how angry to be with the Malnosso for this, Itachi spends the next few minutes stretching and getting to know this body's basic capabilities. He would have to have a... discussion with his brother later in regards to his eyes.

He needs to get in contact with someone about this, but who is currently in a state to be contacted?]

[Filtered to Shikamaru, Chouji, and Shino]
Respond back if you're getting this.

[He'll be roaming the center of town, the barracks, and the area near his own apartment complex looking for his brother or anyone familiar.]

((responses will come from felltoirony))

I WAS JUST THINKING I WANTED TO PESTER AT HIM

[a little red ninja hides out in the center of town. ...Blending in with the snow about as well as you'd expect.]

[Itachi pauses to watch the somewhat familiar form. There's an unexpectedly large number of children around. Formerly other members of the community?

He approaches her, peers down without much expression.]

You should get on inside.

[alittleninja.livejournal.com]

[okay, now he looks like he's from Mizuho. And not so old that starting a fight would be overt bullying. Sheena withdraws into the corner she's found for herself. Not that it does much good. And she looks cold.]

[felltoirony.livejournal.com]

[He narrows his eyes, bending down closer. She does appear very, very familiar...]

...Sheena. It's Sheena, isn't it?

[alittleninja.livejournal.com]

[Caught!]

Uh...y-yeah.

[felltoirony.livejournal.com]

You should get inside where it's warmer.

[It's easy enough to notice his own familiar chakra as it enters the area, and Itachi watches from a short distance.

It might almost be interesting, watching how Sasuke took to his body. Should he warn him about using the Sharingan for hours on end? His stamina isn't particularly high.

He approaches him from behind after a few moments, testing how his brother has adapted to his senses.]

Hello, Sasuke. [Itachi smirks a little with his brother's face.]

I have your eyes.

Hm.

All the same, they're a bit more worn than I'd expected.

[ >__> what the hell is this. ]

I'm here.

[He's trying to keep his brother's tone, for the most part. No reason to throw people off anymore than he already has...]

Have any of you been hit by the experiments?

[ filter ]

[savethelastchip.livejournal.com]

[ It's already suspicious that he was talking to them in the first place.

Chouji's gonna bank on the experiment messing with yet another person. This is all so confusing. ...and this is still Sasuke as far as he's got, so. ]

Maybe everybody's hit with something and they just don't know it yet.

[ filter ]

[felltoirony.livejournal.com]

... [Well, at least some people know for sure.]

You seem to be as I remember you at least, ...Chouji-san.

[ You know, you think everything that happened at Halloween means things probably can't get too much worse, and then Luceti surprises you again. ]

Aa. You don't seem to be having much luck with experiments here.

[ filter ]

[felltoirony.livejournal.com]

Hn.

Sasuke is probably unaware that we've even spoken. Still, I thought this... might be something you should be aware of.

[Voice]

[liltroublesome.livejournal.com]

[These talking books are weird, but he thinks he's getting used to them a little more. He frowns at the little picture.

Sadly, while his journal shows him that that message is partially intended for him, he doesn't know how to make a filter at this age.]

You're that guy from the bar. [Read: What do you want?]

[Voice]

[felltoirony.livejournal.com]

[So Shikamaru has been de-aged, and... Sasuke was at a bar? This body doesn't feel as if it's recovering from intoxication, so that's a good thing at least.

He couldn't use this as a reason to make up for what Shikamaru had already done for him - not in this body - and there were others around to watch him anyway.]

...That's right. I'm sorry. I must have contacted you by mistake.

[Voice]

[liltroublesome.livejournal.com]

Oh. [Do these books work like that? Hm.] Like sending a letter to the wrong address?

[Voice]

[felltoirony.livejournal.com]

Right. Just like that.

[Voice]

[liltroublesome.livejournal.com]

That makes sense.

[And Itachi's Sasuke impression is pretty good, because he's starting to feel creeped out again.] Hope you get the guy you were looking for then.

[Voice]

[felltoirony.livejournal.com]

I will make sure to use the right name this time.
