~♥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]

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. ]

[generalflirt]

Ah? I don't think I said that...

[weaponry]

Well, you didn't say that explicitly. Asking for nudes at any point is basically like telling someone they're only valued for their body. [ She sighs before hoping to move onto another point. ]

Are you doing anything tonight? If you want, you can come over tonight for dinner with myself and the rest of the Konoha ninjas. [ She'd add an implicit if they would show up because MAN WHEN DO HER BOYS EVER SIT DOWN FOR DINNER but at the same time she doesn't want to make Masaomi feel lonely by accident or otherwise. ]

[generalflirt]

...Pass!

[Yeah that]

[weaponry]

What?! Why?! [ She is curious. Massively curious. Curiouser and curiouser. ]

[generalflirt]

I got things to do, people to see!

[weaponry]

Okay, okay, fine. Don't be afraid to ask for help when you need it though!
