twelve crows (朱) action

[yourhatred]

[Today Itachi is around town. ...Or is he?

The ninja is once again testing his limits in this place, and today is further experimenting in genjutsu - illusionary techniques. What he can do now is so much more limited than what he could before.

He will be appearing all around town, and if you see him today, you're already caught in his illusion. It affects all your senses, and nothing should appear off in any way. It will also be perfectly harmless. He simply won't be where you think you're seeing him.

He may incline his head to you, perhaps looking to be in a talkative mood.

Or perhaps, if you prefer, he can be found in the flesh at the end of the day sitting outside the Seventh Heaven, clearly exhausted though doing his best not to appear so.]

((ooc: If you think your character would be able to see through this (this isn't common, even among people highly trained in genjutsu, but I can account for varying universes) let me know.))

[When Sheena spots him outside of Seventh Heaven, she just shakes her head.]

You've been all over the place today.

[yourhatred.livejournal.com]

[He doesn't bother lifting blind eyes to her.]

Hn. Have I?

[corrinesbell]

Yeah. I've seen you two or three times. You following someone?

[yourhatred.livejournal.com]

Following? No. I simply felt like getting some fresh air.

[corrinesbell]

Does it usually wear you out this much to take a walk?

[yourhatred.livejournal.com]

As you said - I've been all over the place today.

[corrinesbell]

Well are you gonna go in and have dinner?

[yourhatred.livejournal.com]

I'd been thinking about it. I could just as easily get something at home.

[corrinesbell]

Well I was looking for dinner too. Wanna join me?

[yourhatred.livejournal.com]

...I'm not really looking for company at this point in time, but thank you for the offer.

[corrinesbell]

[ouch. Mood killer, this one is.]

Uh, okay then. ...I guess I'll see you around.

[heading into Seventh Heaven all by her lonesome.]

Itachi fails at keep threads going on his own. :|

[It may be some time later, but a tired figure will eventually enter and stand in the middle of the room, attempting to pinpoint her position through sound.]

Hey, she's used to ninja like that. *She's* the weirdo.

[corrinesbell]

[it shouldn't be too hard, she's across the room ordering some after dinner tea]

[Well, given that Irvine's just about spotted him while on a short walk through the center of the village, it's pretty much easy to say that he's caught in that genjutsu of Itachi's. Irvine won't be able to tell the difference though.

He is kinda staring though. Just a little.]

[yourhatred.livejournal.com]

[Itachi nods once in greeting.]

Good afternoon.

[cowboykinneas.livejournal.com]

[Why is Irvine surprised that he was just greeted.] Back at you.

[yourhatred.livejournal.com]

I don't suppose you were looking for something? Or someone.

[cowboykinneas.livejournal.com]

Nothing like that. Just out to grab a bite to eat.

[yourhatred.livejournal.com]

I shouldn't keep you, then.

[There are several red-eyed crows on the path ahead. They appear to be doing nothing more than searching the ground for food.]

[cowboykinneas.livejournal.com]

[Irvine gives Itachi a tip of his hat, before moving to walk past those crows.

The only thing that's odd is just that's there's crows around, and he's not paying it any mind. He should probably pay more attention to things like the fact that they had red eyes -- especially since he was a sharpshooter and all -- but he's not. Go figure.]

[yourhatred.livejournal.com]

[He can feel free to keep walking. However, his destination might not be getting any closer. If he looks back, he'll find Itachi just as close as he ever was.]

[cowboykinneas.livejournal.com]

[Given that his destination wasn't really all that far, Irvine is certainly confused. Which will cause him to turn around just to check how far he's gotten, because maybe he zoned out or something.]

Are you following me?

[yourhatred.livejournal.com]

[Itachi just eyes him calmly.]

Of course not.

[cowboykinneas.livejournal.com]

Right, right. Sorry 'bout that. [He's just off today, that's all. He'll try walking away again.]

[yourhatred.livejournal.com]

[And it may seem like he's getting somewhere now. The birds alight in a mass of cawing, coming together in a group and forming the silent figure of Itachi again further up the road.

I he looks back, the ninja will still be behind him as well.]
