[ooc]//[note on journal format]
SASUKE'S JOURNAL IS IN CODE?!
Not actually. He knows better than to really encode it; he only does it because he knows it teases. ♥ The code is incredibly easy to break if one knows Sasuke even marginally, but here is the current list of abbreviations/pet names.
Also, said names are relatively insulting, because a key part of Sasuke stalled at seven years old. ♥
PSA: Pervert Sannin A (Jiraiya)
PSB: Pervert Sannin B (Orochimaru)
-- when actually referring to Orochimaru in the present, will probably say something innocuous about snakes or reptiles.
PSC: Pervert Sannin C (Tsunade)
PJ: Pervert Jounin (Kakashi)
PSC’s appr.: Pervert Sannin C’s apprentice (Sakura)
DL: Dead Last (Three guesses, first two don’t count.)
SH: Scalpel-Happy (Kabuto.)
Mdk.: Mendokuse (Shikamaru.)
SF: Sakura's Friend (Ino.)
Sp: Sempai (Anko.)
HGO: Hyuuga Girl One (Hinata.)
HGT: Hyuuga Girl Two (Hanabi.)
He is also at once deliberately and unintentionally obtuse in his journal, because he wants to annoy whoever's in charge of monitoring him and he doesn't realize that other people don't have the contextual knowledge that he does. As such, other characters reading/using his journal may be a bit hard-pressed to understand what, precisely, he is talking about.
Just for lulz reference, or if your character (say, Sakura or Kakashi, or Kabuto in some cases) knows Sasuke very well, an example of how to read one of his entries follows. Yes, Sasuke is horribly troublesome. .___.U
[in cramped, deliberately difficult-to-read handwriting]
-- [[This is to irritate those monitoring his journal, as we shall see later in the same entry.]]
Out of tomatoes and fruit. Almost out of tea, too, but that was the last of the Tea Country stuff DL sent last year; we won't be seeing that around Konohagakure anytime soon.
Training alright, nothing really interesting permitted. Hope to catch PJ for a spar soon. Out of paper, too. Still can't make cut paper pheonix look less like a chicken. PSC's appr. still laughing at them.
-- [[Sasuke will reference cut paper a lot. This is because, as he has no life, he is refining Chidori Nagashi by using it to make cut paper, which is stuff like this. As his chakra is not wind chakra and not, therefore, specifically given towards 'cutting,' this is actually strenuous training in chakra control. He still isn't terribly good at it, as Sakura is still laughing at his work.]]
No news.
-- [[Anytime he says "news," he means "news of Akatsuki."]]
Haven't seen SH in a while. Probably doing well for himself.
Actually, refrigerator almost completely empty. Have to get groceries, then.
[added later]
Tomatoes at gouging price. Probably the season.
Met PJ and Mdk. at market. Mdk. found a paper store for me.
-- [[This apparently inane bit is for Sasuke's own reference. Feel free to have your character pick up on something like this and ask for details, although depending on who you play and the situation at hand, Sasuke might or might not provide them.]]
[in fair, clean calligraphy]
-- [[This relates to the crappy handwriting of the above in that it proves that he obviously can write neatly and clearly, he just chooses not to do so. Whoever monitors his journal probably hates him. XD]]
Sakura, I forgot to get tea things. Can you bring some?
-- [[This would be something a character like Sakura would catch onto; she's coming over for tea and he's admitting to having forgotten something. Since it is an evening visit, it might very well have been short, but he is pointedly letting her know that he expects it to last long enough to require snacks. Of course, it is entirely possible that he is oversubtle, in which case hilarious hijinks of half-assed attempts at explanation may ensue. ♥]]
This post is incredibly boring and a bit self-serving (in that I will probably have to refer back to remember what abbreviations he picked >__>;), but if you can make use of it in any way, please do. ♥
