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

[yourhatred]

[Itachi is at the edge of the forest today, dressed warmly, with a small bag of birdseed in one hand. There aren't many birds around, given the weather, but there are a couple strays. There's also a couple squirrels, of course, who seem just as determined to get at what he's throwing out. The trees keep the animals mostly protected against the light snowfall, while the ninja has a dusting of flakes in his hair.

He speaks to the journal only after a while.]

...Where do the birds go, I wonder? Once the air chills. Can they get beyond the barrier to places we cannot?

That could be.

[Catalysts and the people who surround them.

So very true...

Law looks with general's eyes and considers...]

Or at least people who have significantly impacted their world's history at chaotic times, for good or ill. There seems to be many here. And there is a war going on outside.

It could be many things. I suppose it boils down to what perspective you wish to view it from. That of research science or a more militaristic angle.

Or perhaps both. Though, the one calling the shots would be the one who decided who was brought here.

[If the two forces worked in tandem, which is sometimes the case with science and the military, but not always.

If they were needed as a fighting force, that called into question why some were chosen for the draft and not others. If they weren't all necessary for fighting, one might think the research department was calling everything, but that couldn't be assumed either.]

Do you often ponder such things with the occasional stranger?

[deathsdoctor]

Often? No...

The subject doesn't usually come up with the occasional stranger.

Hmn. I suppose not.

Perhaps we're both just in talkative moods today.

[deathsdoctor]

We might.

[Shrug] Or we've just found the right stranger to talk to.

That's also possible, yes.

Fortunate.
