Re: Recent happenings in game (Contains Canon Spoilers)

I need to talk to him.

[Taking a deep and shaking breath. Talking things over has shaken his perspective on everything, and...]

I don't care where Obito heard all this from. I need to talk to him about it. I need to hear it from him... The real reasons why.

I don't care how you do it. Get him there now.

Felt like the right/wrong moment. :D

[first_host]

Are you sure it's talking and not destroying? Sometimes things are best left unsaid or contemplated over until you're in a stable mental condition.

Oh dear XD

[beforethedarkness]

I have to know.

[He's taking another breath, his eyes closed as he looks away from this weird woman.]

He... He knows more about it. I need to know the truth from him.

<3

Child, do not allow for rash judgements to be made in a complicated emotional state. I've seen far too many people become lost to that side of themselves and make things far worse for themselves than is necessary.

[At least she's being... well, she's attempting to placate him at least somewhat. Any sign of temper is hidden beneath the calm and presentable exterior.]

Are you sure the truth is what you want? The truth can be far more complicated than you could ever imagine.

[beforethedarkness]

What I want is something I can never have. I need to hear it for myself from someone who was there.

[And, as far as he knows... That's limited to one person.]

[first_host]

If you are bent upon the truth, then I do offer one simple piece of advice, do keep in mind that our world tends to make us choose the toughest decisions imaginable. Whether it be a sacrifice of yourself, taking the life of someone you care for, or choosing between two extremes that have dire consequences no matter what you do to prevent them.

[Light, almost pitiful smile.] I've heard enough about the future state to know that whatever you decide will surely lead you to your goal.

[beforethedarkness]

What goal?

[That smile? That angers him a little, as do her words. He's looking away, shaking just a little. Considering that he just got told that everything he ever knew is a lie he's understandably shaken.]

All I had to live for was revenge. But... I need to know.

/before i nap whoops

[believeit]

I can't believe he told you!

/keeps you awake forever

[beforethedarkness]

I asked. And...

[A sigh. He's not even energetic enough to be pissed at you for hiding the truth from him right now, Naruto.]

... It made things clearer. Things that didn't used to make sense.

/ffft

[believeit]

He still shouldn't have said anything! Argh!

[beforethedarkness]

Why? So I could kill my own brother as planned?

[believeit]

But he's not here. We're not at home and he's not here so.

I wasn't gonna tell you yet.

[beforethedarkness]

And what about if he did come, Naruto?

[counterintel]

[Just leaving this here.]

[beforethedarkness]

[Still, so still. Still and staring and... Confused.

Part of him wants to follow what he's done for a good chunk of his life, to try and pursue Itachi and avenge the death of his clansmen but... With what he knows now... Can he do that?

He has to know the truth, but instead of one of the many questions that wants to come out he only manages to speak one word.]

Niisan.

[counterintel]

[It might not look like it, but Itachi is just going to stand here -- take a deep breath, and let it out, nice and slow.]

Sasuke.

[He's not sure he knows how to address the issue. He might not have done those things yet where he's from-- but he knows about the 'future'.]

So. Obito told you everything.

[beforethedarkness]

...

I need to hear it from you.

[He's terrified. He doesn't want it to be true, but he doesn't want to hate his brother either. He has to know the truth and... He's been through so much and survived through his cowardice. Even if this kills him, he stop now.]

Why did you really kill them. Why did you really leave me alive.

[counterintel]

[It won't be easy, he knows that - and he'd never expected to have to tell it to him like this. In fact, he'd hoped that it wouldn't come to a point where Sasuke would want the kind of revenge that would lead him to do the things he does in the future.]

The future of the village depended on what we could do to stop the clan.

[We. He hasn't heard mention of Shisui yet in your little conversation there.]

[beforethedarkness]

...

From doing what?

[He did catch that 'we' but stopping the clan seems to get to him more. That's something he hasn't heard before.]

[jikogisei]

[Ah, so now Sasuke wants the truth. Unfortunately, Itachi isn't in a truth-telling mood.]

You're always so eager to see me, Sasuke.

[If not for getting revenge than for getting answers.]

Huh, getting a sense of deja vu... Wait it can't be deja vu if we've met before!

[beforethedarkness]

[When he sees Itachi, it's not a gaze filled purely with hatred. Fear, uncertainty, and pain were all prevalent on his face as he tried to control himself, his mask failing in front of the person who undoubtedly had the most amount of influence in his life.

It's hard to control himself, keeping himself from quivering as he steels himself in preparation for what he knows he has to hear. Does he want to? No. But he feels that he has to.]

Tell me the truth, Niisan.

No, it certainly can't be deja vu!

[jikogisei]

[This is certainly a change since the last time they spoke in this place. Though "spoke" is hardly the word to use. It's easy to see the conflict in his brother while his own mask remains firmly in place.]

What good will the truth do you in this place? You can't take it back to your game.

Good to see you again ♥

[beforethedarkness]

[Speaking is... One way of putting it. One where Sasuke got his ass kicked.

His eyes narrow and he shows more agitation, though it was more at his own feeling vulnerable than at Itachi's refusal to answer.]

I don't care. Tell me the real reasons why.

You too :) Also...maybe, possibly thinking of bringing Itachi to Route.

[jikogisei]

[It was more like a debate. With fists. Sasuke just wasn't strong enough.

A small shift, one that moves him back a bit and into a more relaxed position seeing as how Sasuke isn't all out coming towards him. However, it doesn't mean he isn't prepared for an attack.]

And if I refuse? [Really, bb-bro. This is for your own good.]

:'D I would be the happiest if you did (even though I admit I would have been unsure before lol)

[beforethedarkness]

I need to hear it from you. From someone who was there, not someone making up theories or someone who heard it second-hand. What you told me that night doesn't make sense. Why you left me alone alive doesn't make sense.

[Deep breath. He's trying to not go back to the triggering parts of that night because he'll get nothing done if he lets himself dwell on it and he knows it... Though he's not doing a good job of containing his emotions anymore. Okay, it's just more poorly than earlier.] Tell me why, Niisan. The truth.

do it omg /butts out of conversation

[believeit]
