[Let's keep it short and simple-]

Hey, hey! Guess I'm doing important stuff but if you think your stuff is important too, tell me what it is and we can flip a coin.

See ya!

[beep!]

[ooc: action tags also welcome! seriously just ram into him or he's apartment 7.1]

[Yo Sakon hope you're ready for a tiny tactician.

Because here comes a tiny tactician.

BARRELING RIGHT INTO YOU. To be fair, she was distracted, looking behind her, and it's pretty clear that she's...running away from something. One moment's inattention, glancing over her shoulder, and she slams right into him.]

Ack--

[and then she's falling because let's be fair, he's got height and weight on her.]

[ This isn't a mistake Aria would usually make. She knows where her bed is, she knows that she sleeps right above Esdese, except that 'sleep' these days has been synonymous with 'stare up at the ceiling, stare at empty space, stare at the darkness behind her eyelids, and end up thinking most of the night away'.

Which isn't all that conducive to healthy slumber. Lucky for her, she's very, very good at projecting energy and enthusiasm and keeping it genuine, so she doesn't think anyone's caught on. Or if they have, hopefully it's someone like Mitsunari, who definitely wouldn't care enough to speak up about it.

That aside, the exploring and the unsettling feeling of her power being suppressed and the general lack of decent sleep has inevitably made her falter in responsible decision-making. There's a top bunk, it's empty, and so she's going for it, finally exhausted enough that she can curl up and pass out, even without her partner there.

Maybe she still looks faintly distressed in her sleep, but at least she's sleeping.

In... the wrong bed entirely... ]

[It doesn't take long for Nadia to find Sakon in the direction and when she does, she gives him a call. She had died, who knows what happened to the others?]

Ahm... Hello? My name is Nadia, we don't know each other, but... We were in that room and -- [She stops at the memory and there's a long pause.] I just wanted to make sure you're okay.

[ SAKON!!! it does not matter where you are or what you're doing (hopefully you're not using the bathroom) but in a split second, there will be a swirl of shadow and then hello, have a ninja falling into step with you. ]

Shima-kun! Funny running into you like this. So crazy.

[ yeah what a crazy coincidence. w/e he has an agenda and sakon is the one who has the answer for him. ]

[ the same thing as here but the difference is that you get:

- can of spam (x2)

instead of more corn. he thinks you're pretty dumb so maybe you need some mystery meat on your bones. sasuke still refuses to eat that one. no sign whatsoever that a ninja has been here either, whoops. ]

[ guess who caved and decided she cares if he's still alive after all? ]

Sakon?

[ ugh, sakon got him walloped by mitsunari because he's an idiot and sasuke reaaaaaaaaaaaally does not want to talk to him but whatever. he'll be fine. ]

Shima-kun. I sent a message to Ishida-dono about this but as you know, he might not hear it. Anyway, Mori Motonari is here -- I'm not sure you know him but be careful around him. He will not hesitate to betray you, just as Tokugawa Ieyasu did to Toyotomi Hideyoshi. He's a liar and a snake and--

[ a pause as he tries to figure it out ]

He's like all those ninjas who aren't me!

[ there we go. ]

Make sure Ishida-dono knows this. Thanks, Shima-kun. I mean, after all, us retainers must stick together, right? For the safety of our lords.

[ ugh, he's gonna gag himself. anyway, he hangs up after that. ]

What? This thing has voicemail, but still no text? Seriously?

[ Okay, okay, so maybe he's checking on his supposed ancestor. Don't read anything into it, Sakon! He's just being curious, that's all it is!

It's not like he's actually worried about his own continued existence or anything. Honest. ]

Uh, right. Hey, it's Renzou. Lemme know if your duel thing ever panned out in the end, all right? Although I guess you'd have come back to life even if it hadn't, huh...

[ Aria's taken to wandering around a little more than usual, though she doesn't stray far. She's still back every night, still always game to scoot over to make room for Sakon, back to her usual smiling self.

But she's been thinking, and she'll finally bring it up-- not on top of Sakon (yet) but on her back beside him, toes pointed and arms above her head in a languorous stretch. ]

Do you think Mitsunari would take a student?

[Honestly, Fujimaru is stressed out over just thinking about talking to Cecil. Or rather, helping Shirayuki talk to Cecil. Basically, the point is that Fujimaru does not want to see Cecil, except that he's going to have to relatively soon. He's feeling calmer than he was yesterday, at least, but he's still kind of upset over the entire thing. Which is stupid, because there are better things to be worked up over, like the upcoming Uzumaki, not some idiotic friendship that's probably already fallen apart.

—And then he's frustrated with himself for having an investment in this 'idiotic friendship', for feeling something over the idea that it might be broken even when he should've burned bridges a long time ago, and the entire thing becomes a vicious cycle.

... Damn it. At this rate, he's going to lose his nerve before the talk with Cecil even happens, and if there's one time that he can't falter, it'll be then. Shirayuki will be counting on him for support, and like hell is he going to show weakness in front of Cecil again.

He doesn't know what he's supposed to do, frankly (does he ever?). But...

"I've got two ears if you do wanna just... I dunno. Rant? Be angry?"

He remembers. He remembers what Sakon said, the offer he made. And though back then, he wasn't angry... he is now. He still isn't sure if he 'wants to talk about it' (not when people have been telling him for years to just accept things the way they were, for his own good or not), but even so, something inside of him urges him to pick up the phone before he leaves the housing block.

Half-hoping that Sakon gets up early, half-hoping that he doesn't so this doesn't happen, Fujimaru calls one of his only friends left in Haven.]

This is Fujimaru. You available?

[ Say hello to your phone ringing, Sakon, because Renzou can't be assed to find you in person. ]

C'mooon. Pick up, pick up already.

[ r u even alive out there, dude? ]
