~♥TWENTY-NINE♥~

[generalflirt]

[Masaomi has been dreadfully ill since, well... since about Nagisa's party and going to look for a starfish the night before. Since then, well... he passed out there, barely made it home, and had been nursed ever since. He was slightly delirious though all this, and he relied on Saki to get him through things while working on autopilot. He wasn't able to really move much himself until about the 29th or so. After that you might have seen him going in and out of the kitchen. But had he not seen Saki as much somehow...?

This pattern lasts until he wakes up about three PM on the 3rd. He's finally feeling better, and is able to pick up the journal, flip through things, and then go check on Saki and... she's not there. He searches the apartment, is it just him or is it more empty. Finally, he goes to make a filtered message to her to see if she's around...

And. She's not. The filter breaks.

She's gone.

Gone.

He got back his cell phone a while ago - he hasn't opened it, really, but after Fray gave it back to him the only thing he used it for was that thing with the texts and "Tanaka Taro." But. He flips it open to see Saki's picture in there. His grip tightens. They never even talked and she's gone.. completely gone. He begins to shake. The rage lasts a while and he tries to calm down enough to make a little post saying she's gone. and finally... two hours later, he thinks he is]

[Voice]

Everyone. Ah, I - I... [...No, he can't do it. He can't be calm]

Son of bitch! No! [And then he throws the cell phone clean across the room. It hits the wall with a loud sound - it's not broke, not quite, but the battery pops out of the back and the screen cracks. But who cares. Now, now? His voice is pained beyond anything people have heard in Luceti since about when Mikado was sent home, but this pain is different - Mikado's was cold fury, this one is erratic fury and sorrow and... well yeah]

Why now?! [Voice break] Why- dammit, [He grits his teeth] Dammit!

Comments

[weaponry]

What's wrong? You seem very upset.

[generalflirt]

Saki Mikajima is gone, Ten-chan.

[weaponry]

So your friend from home left? [ The only experience she has with loved ones going home was a person she was just starting to get close to. ] I'm sorry. Is there anything I can do to make you feel better? [ She isn't sure how exactly to console people in these types of situations so advice for her right now would be welcome! ]

[generalflirt]

Ex-girlfriend.

[He corrects that, quietly.]

[weaponry]

So Luceti decided to break you guys up? [ Man, she isn't sure what to say to this, so she asks a filler question just to prepare some type of thing. ]

[generalflirt]

Ah no, we were broke up before then.

[weaponry]

[ Tenten doesn't know why Masaomi would be so sad then, but she does know now would not be the time to ask period. ]

There isn't anything I can do about this to make you happier, huh? [ She does sound a bit defeated with this news. ]

[generalflirt]

You could show me a naked picture of yourself?

[DEADPAN]

1/2

[weaponry]

[ Komm Susser Todd is playing through Tenten's mind as she drops the journal immediately in some type of revolted horror.

She can't believe what she just heard. If Masaomi asked her out or something, she'd accept out of politeness and because she doesn't want him to feel completely terrible. He seemed like a nice boy and all and he certainly had some nice ideas on how to treat a woman, and a some not so nice ideas but she could always reform his skills!

But this? This was out of the question? Tenten would express so in very very strong language but she went into a catatonic from the moment he asked his question. Compared to hallucinating that she was king arthur, kidnapping some adult man and wandering through the forest searching for dragons that didn't exist, having the moon crash into the earth and kill everyone in one freaky genjutsu, and dressing up as a kangaroo and telling everyone to pet her this was by far, much much worse. Such an abomination has never been experienced in Tenten's life ever!

In the mean time, Masaomi is free to check out her feet if he's into that sort of stuff. They seem incredibly petite for a ninja that commonly wanders through the forest and look! Her toe nails are painted aqua marine! Isn't that so precious? ]

2/2

[ And now she's coming back down to earth after an involuntary mental flashback to every other horrible thing that ever happened to her ever (on screen at least). With a major lack of screen time, by default this lands in the top ten of Worst Thing's She's Ever Experienced.

Now, she decides to speak up. And by speak up I mean copious amounts of angry yelling that's not unlike a drill sergeant, except less commandy and more ragey. ]

Excuse you?! What did you just say?!

hi this threadjack is neccesary

[endgames]

[Someday Shikamaru is going to have friends who aren't idiots.]

Don't kill him, Tenten. I know he's a dumbass, but try and calm down.

the mission to spare Masaomi!

[weaponry]

[ She doesn't mind the idiots! She minds the perverts!

She'll just sigh frustratedly. ]

I know, I know. I can't kill him now. His ex-girlfriend just left. [ GREAT REASONING TENTEN... Might Guy would be so proud! ]

Got any suggestions for what I should do? Politely decline? [ And now her voice dips into a lower register as she makes a sarcastic quip. ] "My apologies, but I will have to decline this proposal of disrobing to console you in your time of need." Do I look like a damn stripper? [ SERIOUS QUESTION SHIKAMARU. Is it the Cheongsam?! She can change that! ]

[endgames]

[...one question at a time is probably best. Placating. He can do placating.]

You don't look like a stripper.

[weaponry]

Well, that's one crisis averted. [ She's not in a blind rage anymore, at least! She's back to her usual caustic self! Isn't that great? ]

[endgames]

[He thinks so. But it was dangerous subject matter in and of itself. >> He shakes his head and sighs.]

Just ignore him. Go cool down, and give him some time to deal with this. You can get an apology later.

[weaponry]

[ She doesn't want to leave Masaomi just yet. It'd be rude, and, she wants to see if she can find some nicer alternative, but, then again, if he's completely flat like that she isn't sure just where the conversation will go. Conflicted, Tenten adds to the sigh count. ]

Hm, I don't know. Do you mind if I see if he's still insisting that I strip before I disconnect? [ She knows she can get her apology later. She will get one though. |:| ]

[endgames]

[It's not like he's ordering anyone around. Masaomi, you're free to jump in at any time.]

[generalflirt]

[Nah he was just listening. But he's here]

Ah.

[weaponry]

Ah? [ She sounds confused, curious and somewhat cautious over all. He's not going to try again is he? ]

[generalflirt]

So that's a no.

[weaponry]

Of course it is! Why would you even suggest such a thing in the first place?

[generalflirt]

[ANOTHER FAKE SMILE] Why wouldn't I?

[weaponry]

Because you know I'm not a fan of perversion or the objectification of women no matter what the circumstances are?

[generalflirt]

Object... ah, we're hitting some big terms here.

[weaponry]

[ Sigh. ] Objectification - to degrade something to the status to an object. My nudity is not an object that just anyone can use. [ or anyone could ever hope to use but details, details. ]
