a hawk in training;

It should be obvious by now Madara's got everyone under his control. How he got the Animus to comply with him, I don't know, but in the end it's something every shinobi here should know:

Genjutsu. An illusion.

What anyone- everyone does when the moon's out isn't of their own will.

I don't know if the other shinobi will be able to break it on their own, but since I'm the only other Uchiha here in Adstringendum - [Unfortunately for him, fortunately for Madara.] - I can help.

It'll take some time to do, preferably during the day, but I can break Madara's hold on anyone that wants it.

You don't need to come to me. I'll come to you.


( [ETA; FILTER TO SAKURA; TEXT] )

「text」

[x,y]


「video」

[When the video comes on, nothing can really be seen. There's a black butterfly blocking the view. The patpattering of the rain heard in the background signals that, where ever this is, it's outside.

There's light panting that can be heard close by. And then--]

Tyki...Mikk...

It's a shame that nothing is hardly permanent here, isn't it? Hardly any honor in dying at all. [Sasuke's not alone.

The black butterfly on the screen flails a little, clinging desperately to the PCD as Sasuke's finger runs across it in a futile attempt to knock it off.

When Sasuke speaks next, his voice is even weaker. It takes more of an effort to talk.]

Even... Noah die... [There's just some small chuckling from Tyki, followed by the soft rustle of movement.]

Let me, lad.


[[ Normal text is Sasuke, this is Tyki. ]]

Y'know, when someone asks if you're still alive, you generally pipe up if you're breathing.

The joke's not funny, guys.

I need flowers for two bouquets.

If this is really happening, then I need to see some of you. Expect a visit.

[The feed's silent for a long moment before Sasuke finally speaks up.]

I found a bigger place. I'll be moving there.

Don't take this wrong way.

Oh, this is just fucking great.

[The feed clicks on and a mischievous Mouko can be seen pawing at the screen gently before letting out a soft meow and moving away from the PCD. Sasuke's in bed, asleep on his stomach with arms wrapped around a pillow. Shadow's on the windowsill above, sleeping as well.

After a few moments of this showing, Sasuke just smiles in his sleep. What's he dreaming about that no one can see? The family bonding event, of course.]

Toushirou...

[It's mumbled, barely picked up by the PCD.]

Cute when you huff...

[A moment later, there's a flash of lightning, followed by a loud clap of thunder seconds later, jolting Sasuke awake. He jumps at the sound, and Shadow is seen quickly getting off of the windowsill to safety. Sasuke pushes himself up slightly, glancing sleepily up at the window and outside.

He sighs, then moves to lay back down before stopping, noticing that the PCD is recording. He stares at it for a moment, blinking sleepily. Then it clicks, and a flush quickly makes itself known.]

Shit!

[Scrambling, and the feed ends.]

[The feed clicks on and there's hard, pained breathing for a moment before Sasuke speaks.]

He's... He's here.

Shit...

Keep Ciel in the fucking house too.
