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.]

[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.

[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.

[alittleninja.livejournal.com]

I'm fine out here.

[felltoirony.livejournal.com]

No. You're cold out here.

There's a restaurant not too far from here. I'm sure the owner won't mind if you sit in it for a bit.

[alittleninja.livejournal.com]

I don't wanna get in trouble.

[felltoirony.livejournal.com]

You won't. In fact, I'm sure the people running it would also prefer you be indoors.

[she feels she doesn't need to ask how he knows her. Clearly he's someone's brother, or son, that's dead. ...But if so, then why be nice? Things have been weird here but she doesn't entirely believe that story about it being somewhere else, where nobody knows about her]

[felltoirony.livejournal.com]

Here. Come on. [He gestures for her to follow him.]

[alittleninja.livejournal.com]

Where? Inside there?

[felltoirony.livejournal.com]

Inside the restaurant, yes. You can get something warm to drink too, if you want.

[Sasuke would not approve of him being so courteous while borrowing his face.]

[alittleninja.livejournal.com]

...I guess. But you better not try anything.

[felltoirony.livejournal.com]

What do you think I would try?

[Walking now.]

[alittleninja.livejournal.com]

...Beating me up.

[felltoirony.livejournal.com]

That would hardly be fair of me.

[alittleninja.livejournal.com]

Sure it would.

[felltoirony.livejournal.com]

Why do you say that?

[alittleninja.livejournal.com]

'Cause after what I did it's fair.

[felltoirony.livejournal.com]

You've done nothing to me.

[alittleninja.livejournal.com]

...

[wait, really?]

I didn't?

[felltoirony.livejournal.com]

Not as far as I'm aware.

[alittleninja.livejournal.com]

But you- [no, wait. If he really doesn't know? It's better not to tell him. And if he does but he forgot, why remind him?

Following him inside is a better option.]

[felltoirony.livejournal.com]

[He leads her inside. He's never actually spoken long with anyone who helps run it, but he's pretty sure they'll give her a hand.]

Just pick a chair. Do you like tea?
