[There is a lot of very creative swearing as the PCD comes on, mostly aimed at a furry mass of teeth and ears that currently fill the first floor of the bar where Jiraiya and Naruto live.]

-goddamn rabbits! [Jiraiya is, at the moment, on top of the bar counter, cursing and kicking at any rabbits that get too close. He makes a few hand seals, then

What are allergies? ...And no. I haven't seen or heard from Naruto since before... all that shit went down.

I wish I knew. He called me a nothing. Wind's terrified of him. And he was trying to justify why he had to hurt the poor guy. It's fucked up.

[pervy_sennin]

Allergies are...well, it's when something triggers a reaction. For instance, animal fur in general makes me sneeze when there's a lot of it.

Damn. That definitely means he's off sulking then.

I doubt he means it, but he still shouldn't have said it. And yeah, that does sound really fucked up. Want me to talk to him?

[private / unhackable]

[dualwielded]

Uh... hm. Like dust, making someone sneeze? Is there medicine for it?

....Guess so. Sorry I couldn't help. Riku...

[His voice wavers, and lowers.]

He shouldn't of. [....] If you want. M'gonna too, soon.

[pervy_sennin]

Exactly. And yes, but I don't need it, as it goes away fairly quickly.

Ah, don't worry about it. He just needs time alone.

Alright then, I'll do my best. Not sure how well he'll listen, but I can try.

[iceandivory]

...Uzumaki's hiding?

[pervy_sennin]

Looks like it. Haven't heard from him recently.

[iceandivory]

Tch. I thought he was smarter than that at least.

[pervy_sennin]

He has his moments where he has a tendency to beat himself up over things out of his control.

[hits_then_heals]

I haven't seen him since before the attack. And he won't answer his PCD...

[pervy_sennin]

Which means he's probably off beating himself up over things that weren't his fault. I'll find him and drag him home.

KISS A FROG? sure why not. /prince

[blueeyekamikaze]

The safe house is secure, Jiraiya. Duo and I are able to keep them efficiently at bay from Inoue.
[oh right]
Oh. Yes, and our other boarder as well.
[Except that one didn't seem to matter as much as Inoue did.]

[Hiiro shakes his head on the video about Naruto.]
As for Naruto, I'm sorry, I have not seen him appear on the system.

And what a prince he is, baby. ;D

[pervy_sennin]

Good to hear! You two aren't overdoing it, are you?

It's fine, he'll probably show up again once he's done beating himself up over what happened.

WOOOhooo >3

[blueeyekamikaze]

[Hiiro once more shakes his head.]
No, we're being cautious as well. We've plugged up their current entry and exit methods and I've appointed Duo supervisor if it looks as though he's ...mmm, what's the word for it. 'Acting macho'?

Do you wish for me to try and locate him by his PCD?

XD

[pervy_sennin]

You mean taking charge? Macho works.

Nah, he'll come back when he's ready. If not, then I'll let you know. He probably doesn't have it turned on anyway.

[vile_queen]

That is a fascinating ability.

But what are you allergic to?

[pervy_sennin]

Well, hello there. Been hiding away? And that ability comes in handy sometimes.

Mostly fur. Last spring, I was sneezing my head off thanks to the damn squirrels that nested on my windowsill.

[vile_queen]

I have been thinking over some things. And therefore I had reason to stay out of the way.

I see. Doubtlessly these will be killed off soon. They are small, but they are still edible.
