Kunai the 12th: Video/Action for Violet

[There is a lot of rustling around, and finally a bit of a clatter before any kind of visual turns on... and the first thing everyone sees is a rather smug looking Zoroark, one who looks like he's about to launch into trying to communicate with you all before Obito's voice is heard in the background.]

OI! Henge! Flip that around okay?

[Huffing, the gear is turned around, and Obito is shown standing fairly deep into mountain of carefully sorted eggs, which have sticky notes slapped on all of them saying what they are. He gave everyone a little wave once the gear was turned on him.]

So I had this brilliant plan to breed up some eggs so that I could try and help supplement the household funds, what with there being so many of us to feed and shelter and whatnot right? But I er, might've sorta kinda forgot that when my pokemon have babies they're really enthusiastic about it.

So I'm selling them all! [He waved his arms to encompass the room.]

Also, for those of you not interested in eggs, which would make me sad but hey, I can handle it, how many of you have had to get a handle on how you feel about people showing up from home and knowing that... all isn't well and there's nothing you can do about it?

Like, really really nothing you could do, even if you went home right this second.

[Obito wasn't totally oblivious to the fact that the man was probably waiting for him to talk but... he kind of really didn't want to, and instead nodded, starting to point out how he had everything sorted and why.]

But yeah, basically all of them are sorted by people bred by so everyone gets their money, then breed and I tried to work out what all they would learn and... there's a lot. Too ambitious?

Better to be organized, I think. We can always make it simpler if it starts being a problem.

[Maybe he should have taken notes.

Minato made his way to one of the few clear spots in the room, folding his legs up underneath him as he sat down. Purple with... purple...]

How goes the selling so far?

So far a good fourth of these have homes... I'll find people for the rest, I always do, even if it's just locals, you know?

[He moved around, making sure that nothing had lost a sticky note that had one.]

Hey Sensei? I didn't say this since you got here but... I'm happy to get to spend time with you again.

[He went quiet at that, carefully setting down one of the eggs with it's respective group. Death was not unfamiliar to shinobi, it lurked behind every corner, taking friends and family without bias until there was nothing left but legacies and tightly held memories. It was their only companion, sometimes.]

Mmn. Me too.

[Time they never should have had, time they wouldn't remember. But it was still just as precious, a luxury he was thankful for.]

It's been awhile since we've been able to.

[He peeked sideways toward him, hesitating for only a moment before he gave him a lopsided smile as he finally came to settle himself nearby.]

It's... one of the things I wanted. More time with the people I care about that is.

I imagine that's a pretty common wish.

[In his last moments Minato had wished that his son would be considered a hero, that his faith would somehow reach him. That Kushina would be able to explain things to him that only a mother could.

He could rarely afford to be selfish, even just a little bit.]

Even if this place is a little strange... in a way I guess you could say it fulfilled that for us, huh?

[He was a bit relieved to have it confirmed that he wasn't alone in his dead boat, even if he'd really suspected.]

Yeah, I guess so. When I first woke up here... I kinda thought it was a weird afterlife.

[There's a small laugh at that.]

Ah... me too. A logical conclusion, considering.

Not so sure the afterlife would include strange mothers with lunches, though.

Or stubbed toes. Pretty much the first thing that happened to me after I fell out of the bed. [He gave him a sheepish smile.]

Why am I not surprised?

[He wasn't ready to be completely light-hearted about the whole dying thing, but it was still nice, being candid with Obito.

There was no changing what had happened to either of them, and Minato certainly wouldn't take back the decisions he had made that night. But they didn't have to dwell on it, seeing only the bad.]

[He leaned over, looking very very sheepish.]

So... because of that I kinda did a thing, right after I got here.

[Does he want to know?

Probably not.]

You kinda did a thing?

[Let him humiliate himself in peace!]

Yeah. See. I kinda sorta thought that no other shinobi would be here so I uh maybekindofnamedaguyIkowRin.

[He'd be a bad sensei if he didn't meddle sometimes.]

[While most of that was gibberish he's pretty sure he caught 'name guy Rin'. ~~He married an Uzumaki kiddo, he pretty much has a degree in 'babble'.~~

Aaaaaaaand the amusement is back.]

You named one of your Pokemon after Rin?

[Just. You know. Clarifying.]

[He covered his face with both hands. That's not going to muffle the words enough to quell the mortification.]

No. It's a silver haired boy, really smart, who didn't have a name that wasn't, you know, being used by someone here who looked like him.

So you told him names you were familiar with.

[Easy out! Take it!

Most of that was pretty confusing (was it that strange to meet someone with the same name? even if they looked like you too...) but he's really not surprised at the fact Obito would bring up the name if someone was asking.]

It's kind of the only name I offered and he decided he liked it right off.

[He peeked through his fingers.] Probably because his name was Riku before, so it was close.

I don't think she'd mind. You were just trying to help him, right?

[She'd probably be embarrassed but...]

Yeah. He's really nice and... clueless. About everything that makes a person a person in fact. So...

[He gave a helpless shrug, lowering his hands.] I lost contact with him a couple months ago, but he's not gone so, I dunno what to think.

[Confused about what made a person a person? That's a new one.

First though-]

How can you tell when someone leaves for good as opposed to just going quiet for awhile?

[Obviously being around them in person when it happened but... they'd mentioned losing contact with Tsunade some time ago, and he didn't remember confirmation either way.]

You start getting 'not in use' reactions instead of just... the message going out there and nothing happening.

Yumi was in a coma when we arrived, could it be something like that?

[A few months though...]

Or do you think something happened to him?

I just... We had daily things we sent each other the first couple months then they just stopped. And he's super on top of stuff like that.

Like, legit, he's crazy detail oriented.

He could still turn up. His gear being active is a good thing, isn't it?

[Have a hair ruffle kiddo. Minato may not have known much about how this world worked yet, hadn't experienced the weird things that could happen, but it didn't seem like a lost cause to him. Not yet.

A little faith went a long way!]

Yeah. That's why I'm so worried. What if someone like, ran off with him? I mean sure he knows some combat training but we never managed to set down and have a proper spar so I could see if he was good or better than me or worse or what.
