ten crows (朱) action / fourth wall

[yourhatred]

[Because there aren't enough of these already.

Itachi is watching the scene... well, in the only way Itachi can watch anything nowadays... from outside the 7th Heaven. This is generally his preferred vantage point.

Whatever is happening, their 'hosts' would be responsible. Given their track record so far, it was doubtful that anything positive would come out of the experience. Those milling about looked just as lost as New Feathers, which meant a heavy amount of confusion.

Mentally, he prepares himself for the worst.]

Oho! Hallucinating, is it? What a strange hobby you have!

[yourhatred.livejournal.com]

[He's just... going to ignore that.

Itachi stares at the skeleton. There's chakra there, though it's odd. This being is definitely living.]

...Are you lost?

[wearyofscreams.livejournal.com]

Only if I'm not where I meant to be which is anywhere but where I was, so I suppose I've succeeded in that!

Pray tell, where might I be? You aren't a ghoul or a goblin, nor are you any other manner of creature that haunts my town. And this white stuff! It's everywhere! It's so...

[Scooping up a big handful of it now, even if it falls through his bony fingers just as quickly.]

Marvelous! Splendid! All this color and life! What is this place called?

[yourhatred.livejournal.com]

This is Luceti.

[But this creature is more lost than that from the looks of it.] And it's winter, a colder time of the year. The rain has frozen into ice on its way to earth.

[wearyofscreams.livejournal.com]

Luceti! What a splendid name! Lucetitown! Oh, wait. No town. How curious. Just Luceti. I see. I see. [And he's nodding his head very sagely now. What a silly thing, not to put the word 'town' after what is most clearly a town.]

Winter? OHO! I see. So this...is frozen rain? [Another handful and he starts packing it into a ball, peering at it.] How delightful!

But why not put a smile on your face? This place is so wonderful!

[yourhatred.livejournal.com]

I'm afraid it's not as new to me as it is to you.

[He's not sure what sort of hell this thing stepped out of for a simple village like this to seem that wonderful.]

[wearyofscreams.livejournal.com]

Oh, have you been here for hundreds of years? That could be boring.

[yourhatred.livejournal.com]

...Not quite so long, no.

[wearyofscreams.livejournal.com]

Ah, then that can't be so bad!

[yourhatred.livejournal.com]

This world has many similarities to my own.

I assume it's not the same for you.

[wearyofscreams.livejournal.com]

Oh, hardly! No ghouls, no goblins, no one is dead - as far as I can tell, haha! - everyone has wings! It's so interesting.

[yourhatred.livejournal.com]

You make it sound as if your world is full of the damned.

[wearyofscreams.livejournal.com]

The damned? Oh, no, not at all! We're just creatures of the night, the things of nightmares, normal folk like anyone else.

[yourhatred.livejournal.com]

Ah. Of course. [Just like anyone else.]

[wearyofscreams.livejournal.com]

Indeed! My name is Jack Skellington, the King of Halloween. And yours?

[yourhatred.livejournal.com]

Itachi Uchiha.

[Jack's name sounds like it belongs to the sort of person used to the surname being listed second. He's noticed a lot of that in this place.]
