Feeling nostalgic for old muses...

[ink_nin]

It's been a long time, Mun-san.

Are you sure you're still interested in me?

Comments

[ura_no_ura]

You'd be surprised what you can do to pique their interest~

[ink_nin]

I'm not sure what I did to suddenly warrant all this attention, Kakashi-senpai.

[ura_no_ura]

From your mun, you mean?

[ink_nin]

Mmm. She seemed quite content with forgetting about me, until recently.

[kuramaless]

Dunno why she would be.

[ink_nin]

Perhaps she is tired of attempting to play stupid people.

[YKNOW LIKE. THAT BLOND NINJA..OH WHAT'S HIS NAME AGAIN??]

[kuramaless]

[The penny isn't going to drop. Nope. Not yet, hold on because this is Sai and sometimes things that Sai says need a while to--]

... Those alien people?

[ink_nin]

[See this is what he was talking about.]

No, I wasn't talking about those alien people.

[kuramaless]

[What? Be quiet.

Who else does she play? Wait a minute.]

Sasuke?

[ink_nin]

......

[dot dot dot]

[kuramaless]

Guess Sasuke ain't stupid, not really.

[THINKING.]

Who else does she play?

[ink_nin]

You, Naruto.

[kuramaless]

...

But I ain't--

Oi. If she's been playin' me it's only 'cause you got too borin'!

[ink_nin]

By that logic, she must be playing me again because you got too boring.

[notmygenes]

Mun interest seems to come and go unpredictably. If yours is taking an interest in you again...

[ink_nin]

..Yamato-taichou.

She has done this before. Usually it means that she has specific plans for me, but will not follow through on them.

[notmygenes]

Do you look forward to her plans?

[If Sai can be said to look forward to anything; Tenzou wants to encourage that, though.]

[ink_nin]

[Taking a moment to remember what happened last time she played him regularly...]

No.

[notmygenes]

Then it sounds like a good thing she's unlikely to follow through.

[And he's in the same position. The last time he got into a game...]

[ink_nin]

What sort of plans does yours have for you, Yamato-taicho?

[notmygenes]

Plans? Nothing she's going to follow through on, I can rest assured of that.

[Although he does miss the attention, sigh.]

The last time she followed through on her plans, it was not a pleasant experience.

[ink_nin]

[He nods, because he knows that feel]

Last time I was sent somewhere, I was made to enter confusing friendships with aliens, and I had to live in a house with Sakur, Naruto and Anko-san.

[Worst and loudest ninja house ever..]

[notmygenes]

I was... in a place that specialized in torture of its inhabitants. There were several devastating 'experiments' that took place during my time there.

It sounds as though you were with compatriots, at least. I can think of worse people to be housed with than them.

[Atlhough Anko would have the potential for quite a bit of embarrassment.]

[ink_nin]

Experiments? What kind of experiments?

..The house was usually noisy, but at least it remained fairly peaceful, a lot of the time.

[Apart from when he got punched by Sakura. Or by Naruto. Or once, both.]

[notmygenes]

A broad variety. Some were infections with disease or madness, hallucinations, or in one instance, handing control of the entire environment to Uchiha Madara. [Shudder.] That was... unpleasant. To say the least.

I am glad to hear your experience was more pleasant.

[ink_nin]

Uchiha Madara? Why would someone want to do that?

..They were.. interesting experiences. I miss it, sometimes.

[notmygenes]

The only conclusion I've been able to reach is that those responsible were sadists who did not consider our lives to be of any value.

[ink_nin]

That is believable, those in charge at the place I ended up were extremely similar. They enjoyed tormenting the city's inhabitants.
