1st String || {Action in Three parts}

[Action; Locked to Lee (Possibly Neji if he wants)]

[The last thing Kankuro could remember was bright light coming thorough the gaps in Kuroari from the entrapped Edo Tensai revived Deidara. It wasn't blinding, but it was bright enough that he had put up his arm to shield his vision. Hopefully that light meant that someone had managed to find Kabuto and dissolve the Edo Tensai jutsu.

However that didn't explain why his surrounds were suddenly much more confined and dark than the outdoor forest. In fact it felt a lot like the inside of Kuroari, if taller and more square.]


What the hell?

[Kankuro waved his hand through the space in front, only for something smooth and cloth-like to brush against the bare skin of his arms. The tips of his fingers brushed against smooth wood and he blinked in the dark. His mind raced, wondering if he had somehow been trapped in a genjutsu when distracted by the light show. He quickly put his hands together to dispel.]

Kai!

[Not a damn thing changed. Kankuro cursed even as he backed up, trying to put something solid at his back. He felt wood against his bare back, and pressed against it, eyes darting. the smooth cloth was still on his arms, partially entangled due to his rapid movements to dispel earlier. He tried to pull it off, grumbling at the green fabric. It was then he noticed the slivers of light coming from behind him, like daylight through the cracks in a door which had allowed him to notice the color of the cloth. Just as he came to this realization something at his back gave the faint click and the wood at this back opened, sending a startled Kankuro falling backwards, slightly entangled in green spandex octopus arms clothing.]

Holy-[THUD.
...
... Ouch, that had to smart. Ninja he may be, but sometimes even ninja's reflexes fail.]



[Later Action in CH 1, Ninja Floor; Floor 4.]

[Congratulations floor 4, you now have an irritated, shirtless, face-paint less, Kankuro sitting in your kitchen.

Approach the Puppet master/mysterious dude at your own risk.

Reactions may vary per customer shinobi.]


[Even Later Later Action.]

[After getting up to speed on the weirdness which is Luceti, Kankuro finally leaves CH 1. It's off to the Clothing Shop to find his clothes, If you stumble across him before he get his clothing, you'll find a rather hunched but moving figure, briskly trying to keep his arms warm and cursing snow, damp and general cold with a fervent passion.

Once dressed for the weather Kankuro then heads over to the Item shop to look for his makeup face paint and puppet scrolls.

Those tasks complete, he may stop by the Grocery Store more out of curiosity than anything else before heading back to CH1.]


((ooc; Kankuro is FACEPAINTLESS until he finds it at the store Or until Temari lets him wear her lipstick on his face. So even if your character knows him they may not recognize him. Obvious expection are those who've seen him without it before.))

[While Itachi had already retrieved the clothing he was familiar with after he got back from his recent return to his own world, it had taken the act of collecting them again to make him realize how little he really had to choose from. He's not the sort of person who feels the need to have a fully stocked closet, but a couple more items suited for the cold weather wouldn't hurt either.

So, with little else to do this evening, he finds himself (coincidentally) looking around at the same time as the new arrival.

Now, Kakuro might have been a familiar figure if not for the fact that Itachi is near blind and not willing to use his Sharingan around just anyone. (One red eye is bound to raise questions, you see.) It would have been the lack of paint that would have made him recognizable, as even though the former Leaf ninja might not know much about Kankuro, he's very familiar with the image of the fourth Kazekage, and the puppet master resembles his father a great deal.

As it is, Itachi responds to the presence of another with a polite nod of his head, finding his way to the warmer clothing by a brush of one hand along fabric here and there.]

[Itachi stops, raising his head to turn it back toward the sand ninja. His eyes remain dark, not focused on him, but the sclera are white - not the deep black of the Impure Resurrection.

He doesn't recognize the voice, but it's clearly a new arrival from his world. Very new. So he remains still, as unthreatening as possible.]


You are correct on both accounts, but you'll find that death doesn't hold much sway here, nor does it limit who is brought in.

[Casually, he begins sorting through coats on a nearby rack.]

I'll have to be careful if New Feathers are arriving. Otherwise I might accidentally take something that belongs to one.
yourhatred: (what you least expected)

There are many things about this place that may surprise you.

[At the comment about his sight, Itachi lets his Sharingan activate, peering at Kankuro through one red eye.

He's a fellow ninja, after all, (he's yet to see anyone brought from his world who wasn't) and less likely to be frightened off by it.]


...Almost.
yourhatred: (sigh)

[The fact that he can even open the other eye, sightless or not, is frankly a little surprising. Normally, when one uses the technique he had, the eye would shut forever. That this didn't occur can probably be attested to the Edo Tensei, though he would have lived with it either way.

The Sharingan fades from his eyes again, and he returns his attention to the rack in front of him.]


This is why I avoid using it in front of civilians.

[Kankuro is free to come to his own conclusions about his sight, as he believes it to be rather obvious.]
yourhatred: (see from above)

Well, most are surprisingly used to that sort of thing, but all the same. No point in pressing my luck.

[Or giving away his abilities. Old habits and all.

He leaves Kankuro to his searching, not really much for idle chatter himself and also having no desire to make the young man any more uncomfortable than he already has.

Just as soon as he can find something suitable for himself, he'll leave.]

[When he's done, he'll find Itachi already holding out the vest to him.

It's honestly none of his business, but he knows that particular item when he feels it, and its the only one he's run into in the shop so far. Saves Kankuro the trouble, at least.]
yourhatred: (weary now)

I have not, but it's simply a matter of size. I'll pick out something soon, I'm sure.

[The lightness of the jacket had not gone unnoticed. Having been in Kankuro's position before (and having returned to the place since) pointing out how to resolve this is simple.]

The forge can supply weaponry such as shuriken and kunai, should you find yourself lacking them.

[They're ninja staples. after all.]
yourhatred: (i see)

[action]

[personal profile] yourhatred 2013-05-17 08:55 am (UTC)(link)
I wouldn't put it past them, but I have not asked about those myself.

[He'll leave that up to the teen. It's doubtful that Kakuro is a threat, but if he is then Itachi has confidence in the capabilities of those currently present to handle it.]

They create far more complicated tools than those, so I don't believe it would be a problem.
