I'm not even sure this thing is working but, uh, if it is, leave a message!

Erk, right! This is Obito's mail. Um, yes. Message. Do that. I'll call you.

(This post can be used for any messages directed at Obito, as well as any ooc contact you wish to make with me as a player~)

[VIDEO | Private] Backdated to March 9th | After Tsunade's Broadcast

[when_turks_fly]

Obito, it's Valeria.

[ And she'll be offering him a two fingered wave. Any other time, she might think more of pleasantries, but considering she's mostly in the dark and flying blind, she's cutting down a bit. ]

Get back to me when you can. While I'd have liked to contact you about more pleasant things under better circumstances, it's about Tsunade's broadcast.

[He got back to her the same day, waiting for the chaos to die down a bit before doing so.]

So you saw that thing too huh?

[VIDEO | Private]

[when_turks_fly]

I did.

[ And she wasn't impressed if her tone and facial expression didn't already give it away. ]

I'll understand if you don't want to talk about it, but I'm asking, regardless. What's going on, Obito? [ Because thinking you've got the gist in situations like this just doesn't cut it in her experience. ]

My cousin is being targeted by that Bowser guy.

[VIDEO | Private]

[when_turks_fly]

I think I have a fair idea who that is, but fill me in, anyway.

[VIDEO | Private]

[itsjustdust]

His name is Sasuke. He's been here a while.

[VIDEO | Private]

[when_turks_fly]

And Bowser is a member of the terrorist group called Team Rocket. Correct?

[VIDEO | Private]

[itsjustdust]

...As is the leader who attempted to draw the man's ire off Sasuke it seems.

[ Forehead, meet Palm. Palm, meet Forehead. Valeria exhales after a moment. ]

In simplest terms, then, a bad situation was just made worse by as reckless a move as I initially thought by an individual who is supposed to act responsibly. I assume you've already discussed the situation with your fellow shinobi and have formulated some plan of action given the foreseeable backlash?

[VIDEO | Private]

[itsjustdust]

Unfortunately not as thorough of a plan as I'd like. We're in hiding but... it's less than favorable to the emotional state of one of my people. Getting viewed as civilian children doesn't help... anything.

[VIDEO | Private]

[when_turks_fly]

What other people think should only matter to a certain point. You know you aren't a civilian child. All of you do. You look after yourself and yours. The civilian child argument only goes so far here as well if people haven't noticed. The majority of trainers on the routes are your age, if not only slightly older, and the society here practically treats you like adults, anyway.

[ She pauses a moment, just looking at him. ]

Come on. Let's see you lift that chin up a little.

[VIDEO | Private]

[itsjustdust]

[He snorted softly and held the gear right up to his eyes.]

Alright, alright. I'll try to smear the good feelings around yeah? You know, convince the whole group that age is just a number and whatnot.

[VIDEO | Private]

[when_turks_fly]

That's the spirit. Your physical age only determines so much, you know. A seven year old can be more mature and responsible than someone three times their age. Just remember that you, all of you, aren't alone and don't act carelessly, not that I have to tell you that.

[VIDEO | Private]

[itsjustdust]

Alright, I will. Gotta say I'm not used to being the one in charge up over here though.

[VIDEO | Private]

[when_turks_fly]

You'll do just fine. Just remember to keep your people in line and on the same page. Your best is all you can do.

[VIDEO | Private]

[itsjustdust]

Yeah, yeah I can do that. I had a great sensei, time to emulate.

[VIDEO | Private]

[when_turks_fly]

Just remember that it's okay to take a break sometimes. Or rather, remember to plan to take a break if you need it. Your team should understand. I'm also here if you need me, Obito.

[VIDEO | Private]

[itsjustdust]

I'll remember it. It's never good to not have an outside support. You're a friend.

[VIDEO | Private]

[when_turks_fly]

You're just now figuring that out? [ Why yes, she is teasing, but look at that smile. He's a friend, too. ]

[VIDEO | Private]

[itsjustdust]

[His smile turned sheepish.] I've never had a whole lot of people I was close to. It's nice, alright?

[VIDEO | Private]

[when_turks_fly]

I know the feeling. I have to say I'm a little surprised, though.

[VIDEO | Private]

[itsjustdust]

Let's just say I had a lot of things to focus on back home alright? I mean I KNEW a lot of people but that's not the same thing.

[VIDEO | Private]

[when_turks_fly]

You're right. It isn't. Relationships are tricky things like that.

[VIDEO | Private]

[itsjustdust]

Pretty much. So... it's all new here, and I know I'm here to stay so... it makes a difference I guess.

[VIDEO | Private]

[when_turks_fly]

It sounds to me like you might be a little bit closer to finding yourself a home, Obito.
