uncagedforjustamoment | 005: [Video/Action for Fuschia City]

[The first thing to broadcast, as is probably common in audiovisual communications, is the background music of either Celadon or Fuschia City. Those familiar with the area might be able to tell by his surroundings. If anyone is paying attention with all of the shaking and whipping around of the camera.]

PUT THAT DOWN!

[Ah, yes, in case anyone hadn't noticed the number it is indeed Neji, not a strange messenger bird who'd gotten its hands on a pokegear. The one who did have its hands on a pokegear was Naruto's gift to him: the unruly Riolu that he'd taken to calling Inuzuka when shouting wasn't necessary.

There's a few moments where Riolu clearly pays no attention to the command, before a hand appears and Neji pries the gear away from the pokemon. Firmly.]

That is quite enough. Regardless of whether you misbehave, you are not to disturb other pokemon while they meditate simply because you are bored. Such behavior will not be rewarded.

[Ah. Yes. The feed is on, isn't it?

He frowns at the screen a few moments.] I don't suppose any of you have advice for dealing with restless and unruly infants?

[Well he'd intended to contact him anyway so... this works too. He's... waaay more solemn than last time you saw him.]

You play with them more, and make sure that when they do things you don't like they'll know that you won't pay them attention, just stick them somewhere being watched by an older pokemon and ignored. Those types tend to hate that.

[He seems unusually...calm? Solemn. Perhaps their earlier conversation is weighing down on him still.]

As you'll recall, I have no older pokemon to burden with him, aside from Meditite. She's resting at the moment. [...But seriously, what is weighing down on you, Obito? That's basically what that frowning is saying in Neji-language.]

[He can speak Shino, you're not much of a challenge when compared to that Neji.]

Yeah, I guess I never had that particular issue. Inherited one pretty... quick off. [From a Rin. That name was so horribly jinxed. His faint smile fell right off his face for a moment there before returning at triple force.]

So I guess you just have to explain what's what to the little guy a lot and make it sit in corners when it gets out of hand.

[He can speak Hyuuga, Uchiha is not difficult for him to discern, Obito. The smile doesn't remotely fool him. He's also fairly certain there are mixed, conflicted messages over whether he's expected to address the matter Obito seems to be avoiding.

For the moment he will give the youth the opportunity to decide which, but if the signals continue to be mixed he will eventually break the barrier of silence if only to put a stop to them.]

...As you may be able to tell, he is less receptive to discipline than the others. Perhaps yours could instruct him.

[Obito speaks an odd dialect of Uchiha and you don't have a lot to work with anyway, don't think he forgot that part.]

I'd do that if you weren't off where you got to. I... ended up with more? Less? reasons to stay put I guess.

[That may be so, but see that right there? He doesn't need a secret Uchiha decoder ring to decipher that statement. At least so far as the 'I can't decide how to warm up to sharing whatever's weighing me down, or if I even want to' signal goes.]

Apparently it's Fuschia City...although it doesn't appear nearly Fuschia enough to warrant such a name. [That's practically an invitation to catch up.] Obito. [Stop it with the dancing around the subject.] How has your situation changed to influence your reasons to stay put?

Ah... Rin's gone. [Have a super lopsided smile that's wobbly on the edges.]

But I should stick here until Naruto wakes up so... you know, someone less vested in him making sure everyone eats and sleeps and stuff until they see he'll be fine.

[...Rin was the girl from the third war, wasn't she? Yes, he was sure. He frowns.]

When did she vanish? [...Also, almost belatedly--] Naruto is unconscious? Exactly what have I missed while on this badge-hunt?

Sometime the same day Naruto went into his coma. Pretty sure it's the kind where people remember things they didn't before sleeping so... ha, he might join you guys.

You know, knowing stuff. Kushina-nee's been freaking out a bit though, cause uh, she kind of punched him right when it happened so...

[Comas where people remember new things? Is that...some sort of meditative trance? He had his doubts that Naruto would manage such a thing. Especially when being hit, so clearly...not that.]

For what other reason than the physical attack would he have lapsed into a coma?

It's a thing here. Sometimes people just collapse for a week or a little longer and when they wake up they remember weeks, months, sometimes years.

They remember what? [Years of dreams or...no. That makes simply no sense.]

Continuing on with their life to the next point they come back from.

[A thoughtful frown. Returning to where they belong is expected, but...to appear only unconscious here, rather than vanish completely? Just what sort of place is this?]

I see...so you believe he's returned to the war?

It's very likely. Either that or Kushina really did punch him into a coma he might never wake from. Which would you pick?

My preference on the matter won't affect the truth of it.

But it would affect how upset you are, right?

Edited 2013-08-14 15:13 (UTC)

You forget I come from Naruto's future. Regardless of the cause of his coma, I can be assured he will make a full and rapid recovery.

You're super huge on that pre-destiny thing aren't you? [You do say stuff like that a lot Neji.]

I wish that stuff was comforting here too.

[Sigh. Not that again.] Destiny is the assurance that things which haven't yet happened will due to a set purpose from birth. What I'm speaking of are events that have already happened.

For you. Time here is kind of... weird. Fluid. [He waved a hand through the air.]

You know.

It only appears complex if you attempt to combine the past and future, rather than accept your future as someone else's past.

Isn't that what you've been doing too?

I've done nothing but share my past.

[He stared at him for a long moment, then huffed.]

And not sharing. Don't think I didn't notice that.
