[a long pause, here. and then she kind of coughs a bit.] - ah, it's working?

[...]

...Um, yes... hello. [clears her throat.] This is Asano Rin. You can leave a message if you need.

I know. But that lady said Sasuke just disappeared too.

Maybe Sasuke went home. Maybe Madara knows what's waiting for him there...

[allucinator]

You think he'd tell if we asked?

[payback.livejournal.com]

It's worth a try. Should you, or should I?

[allucinator]

You, I think. You're closer to him.

[payback.livejournal.com]

That's optimistic.

[allucinator]

It's realistic. I'll do it, if you want.

[payback.livejournal.com]

... I don't know. I could try, I guess.

[allucinator]

You sure?

[payback.livejournal.com]

I only find him really creepy on a sporadic basis, so...

[allucinator]

Oh, well, then.

[payback.livejournal.com]

Don't be such a scaredy cat, he has been more than kind.

[allucinator]

Did you just call me a scaredy cat?

[payback.livejournal.com]

You said he scared you sometimes.

[ Private message left after her last glimpse of Rin-- the child who gave her impression-- at dawn, when she suspects that strange effect may have worn off. It seemed to for the most part of those she saw affected. She may or may not be fairly concerned, and checking her NV for any response, even when within the boarding-house. ]

Rin. Are you somewhere safe?

[Very very long after Chane actually sends the message, Rin answers. She wasn't much concerned with NV messages when she was just a child, but once she turns back to an adult - without too much of a lag, really, about a day - she answers.]

Yes, I'm okay.

[payback.livejournal.com]

It's all your choice, you know.

[allucinator]

[A pause.]

[payback.livejournal.com]

What changed your mind?

text;

[allucinator]

[A pause.]

i felt guilty i guess

text;

[payback.livejournal.com]

Guilty? I didn't think you were that fond of him.

text;

[allucinator]

[But that doesn't sound like him, he recognizes-- but he had felt guilty, and had changed his mind.]

[A pause. This seems off to her as well, but she hasn't come so far as to suspect Madara of being a mind-warping, memory-wiping evil old horror, at least not yet. She suspects him of being capable of plenty of things but not of things like... that.]

It's not like I'm going to be upset with you for changing your mind, you know. It's not a very demanding job and even if you have other things going on, it would be a bit difficult to lose the income.

[allucinator]

i know you wont

i dont think you would

listen im not lying i really did feel bad

[payback.livejournal.com]

You don't have to do anything I tell you either. I don't expect that. [Since obviously, it wouldn't work anyway.]

So?
