thirteen crows (朱) action/voice

[yourhatred]

[Itachi doesn't get drunk, not in any way that shows, anyhow. He's the sort of stoic, no-nonsense individual who never appears to be affected by anything, even when he is.

He hardly looks it now, as he makes his way back to his apartment, but the ever so slight unevenness in his footsteps might be a giveaway to some.

Once he's home, he opens up his journal and just stares at the pages for a while before speaking.]

Not everyone deserves a second opportunity. What right do the Malnosso have to say who does?

((ooc: Feel free to catch him on his way home.))

I don't think they have such morals.

[Voice]

[yourhatred.livejournal.com]

Morals... No, I suppose they don't.

[Voice]

[uccellodifuoco]

And who has the right to say who does and who doesn't?

[Voice]

[yourhatred.livejournal.com]

It's a loaded question, isn't it?

[fallenambitions]

We are prisoners to their games. They hold all the pieces and thus can do what they want to us.

Still, that doesn't mean you have the right to decide that either.

[Voice]

[yourhatred.livejournal.com]

Not even when I'm the one in question?

[neverplaysfair]

They don't, of course.

[yourhatred.livejournal.com]

Of course.

But it doesn't matter.

[you get plenty of time to notice her before she says anything]

Rough day?

[He stops, barely lifts blind eyes in her direction.]

Not at all.

[Voice]

[deathsdoctor]

About as much right as anyone else.

[Hey neighbour, guess who also heard you coming in? You're usually quieter than this.]

[Voice]

[yourhatred.livejournal.com]

And how much of a right do you think that is?

[voice]

[compos-mentis.livejournal.com]

Seeing as how they have the power to do it, every right in the world.

[voice]

[yourhatred.livejournal.com]

So simply having the power to do something gives one the right to use it?

[screwthegods]

They have absolutely no "right." What they possess is the power, and that is enough of a reason for most to act in whatever manner they please.

[yourhatred.livejournal.com]

So I've seen in the past. It shouldn't surprise me now.

[voice]

[king-en.livejournal.com]

I don't think there's anyone who has the right to say who does and doesn't deserve a second chance.

[After a short pause.]

But you're thinking about someone specific, are you not?

[voice]

[yourhatred.livejournal.com]

I am.

...I shouldn't be musing like this right now. My apologies.

[returninghope.livejournal.com]

Are you sure it's an opportunity? Perhaps it's just another punishment.

[yourhatred.livejournal.com]

A punishment... That may yet be one way to look at it.

[endgames]

[There's a voice he doesn't hear over the journals very often. And this isn't even an idle question from him - definitely not something he'd suspect to be discussed so openly.

Shikamaru listens in to the above conversations now and then, but he doesn't say anything. Yet.]

[yourhatred.livejournal.com]

[If he listens long enough, he's bound to catch the occasional slur of a word, or a phrase that Itachi takes just a bit too long to get out.]

[action]

[talvimyrskyn.livejournal.com]

[ hello, Itachi. will you stop for the doll that is standing in the road, watching you, unblinking? ]

[action]

[yourhatred.livejournal.com]

[As Itachi is blind as well as intoxicated at the moment... No. He will not.]

[savethelastchip.livejournal.com]

[ People really dig their deep questions around here. ]

I don't know. I think second chances are pretty important for everyone.

[ voice ] ♥

[yourhatred.livejournal.com]

It doesn't surprise me at all to hear you say that, Chouji-san.
