{Video Post - ACCIDENTALLY PUBLIC - Week 1 Day 3}

[ground_breaker]

[When the feed starts, it's at a strange angle--tilted up, as though Sakura is not interested in keeping her face center but rather on speaking into the receiver. What can be seen, though, is this: steam, and Sakura's hair pinned up away from her neck, slightly damp from humidity. That and she's wearing a very peeved expression. The flush across

[Hidan is leering at you. It's a video post just so you can see his leer! Isn't he thoughtful? And you get a bonus smirk. A very smug smirk.]

I'll show you mine if you show me yours.

[ground_breaker]

[Oh, ew. Also, ew.]

No thank you.

[It had to be the slowest blink in the whole world. Iruka is already moving - in fact, he's already entering Sakura's house because while cranky old hoots getting stuck in bathhouses are funny, Sakura ...

Well, he fears for her modesty. That poor girl. Probably why he got to her house so fast.]

I'd hold the Hitomi close to my face if I were you, Sakura ...

[Camera swishes to her drawer to show that yeah, he's invading your home. For a bit. And rolling clothes up too.

Personally, he is yet to have a run in with one of the onis. He hopes he never does.]

Did you kill them?

[ground_breaker]

[Oh, she's aware that her modesty has been... compromised by now, Iruka. But she genuinely appreciates the sentiment. (And is also heeding his advice.)

Aside for the lightest twinge of embarrassment about someone else going through her drawers, Sakura doesn't much mind. Invading her home was sort of the point.]

Um, no, I didn't. I can't exactly go anywhere.

[Video]

[smiling_umino]

No, you can't ...

[He clears his throat to stifle the very slight laughter trying to come out. He thinks that plucking her underwear and rolling it away is the same as ... changing a baby's diaper.

Yeah, a baby's diaper.]

... I think I got most of your ... clothes. Unless you wanted something specific? Or anything else?

[Ohgodhe'sgoingthroughherunderweardrawer.

Okay, don't freak out. That's what you sent him to do, right? And he's like a father figure. Nothing embarrassing about that, right?

Yeah, right.]

N-no. Just.. clothes. Would be great.

First all your dreams of carnality, and now this.

Are you attempting to solicit sex?

Ah.

I suppose it is a function of youth that you would opt to broadcast your bathing practices in the hopes of luring propositions from prospective mates. I remember when Konan was that age . . . although she was significantly more endowed, and less boyish in form. She liked to surprise me with nudity and solicit sex, as well.

I am certain there is no shortage of people in this world who will be pleased to see to your needs.

[ground_breaker]

I'm not trying to solicit anything!

[Sakura flips out. But really, did anyone expect any different?]

Th-this was supposed to be private. And no one was supposed to see it at all!

[necro_fantasia]

She should give up on trying to hint at cleavage. It's pretty apparent she's got nothing going on.

Listen, Sakura. Getting caught up in the mindset that you need to have tits to be attractive is just going to end up making you look desperate. You should give up and try focusing on your better features.

You have pretty nice legs, for instance. I'm sure most people would love to see more of them.

[callmelegion]

It is unfortunate that she has such a loud and perpetually aggravated personality. Such a temperament is not conducive to a functional relationship.

[ Valeria had considered abstaining from replying to this particular broadcast. She and Sakura hadn't exactly left off on the best of notes, but... what had been said needed to be said, no hard feelings. With this in mind, she isn't sure why she bothered hesitating in issuing a reply except that, had the roles been reversed, she would have appreciated the discretion.

Too bad. It's been too long since she's spoken to Sakura and this seems like a nice, not to mention fairly humorous, opportunity to do just that. ]

Sakura, you--

[ Politely, pointedly averting her gaze, she pauses for a moment. Can't help but smile. ]

I guess you already know, hmm?

[video]

[ground_breaker]

[Grumbling. Definitely grumbling.]

Yeah, I know.

[Then:]

Thanks, Valeria.

[Because she made no salacious comment, and she's had quite enough of that for the time being, thank you.

There is an extended pause. No, they hadn't ended on the best of notes. Perhaps Sakura could be excused for how she spoke to Valeria, with everything else going on. For her part, though, Sakura looks back with a certain degree of shame on the coldness with which she spoke to her. After all, Valeria was trying to reach out. And she really had no reason to believe that Valeria was an enemy.

It hadn't been fair to treat her with such suspicion.

So she--finally--opens up the lines of communication.]

How are you?

[video]

[incisive]

[ Valeria misses neither the grumbling, nor the curious "thanks", both of which prompt the corners of her lips to turn upward a tad more, birthing a more honest, relaxed smile. That Sakura should choose to open up the lines of communication now is as equally surprising as the prior "thanks", but no less pleasant, and, quite frankly, Valeria sees no reason to jar them. She had made a point to let Sakura know when last they spoke that they would be kept open on her end regardless of the younger woman's decision. That hasn't changed; though, she is rather pleased to see Sakura's decision might have. ]

I'm feeling... mmh, decent enough to be up, I suppose.

[ Decent enough to be in bed, too, were those terrible, demonic creatures not quite so intent upon stealing her makeshift pads and doing Shiva-knows-what with them.

She turns her attention back to Sakura. ]

And you?

[ A pause. ]

It's been a while since the last time we spoke.
