52 ::: Uchiha Izuna 彡 Video

[visionofblood]

[There's no preamble or context leading up to the video. It's meant to be private, so Izuna spares no wasted breath on filling his audience in on what the one person intended already knows. He offers no censorship, since the man doesn't suffer a weak stomach.

[Guess who had been about to go check on you?]

Bugger.

[Video]

[visionofblood]

Hmmhmm. They worked for a short while before fading out. It likely looks, and smells, worse than it is.

[He splashes his face again and grimaces delicately. Emphasis on the smell.]

I had to remove them completely. Shall I save the remains for you or flush them down the sink?

[Video]

[snarkypotions]

I'll... bring something to help you wash the remains out and collect them myself.

[Video]

[visionofblood]

That's very kind of you. My fingers can't quite reach.

[sauceytomato]

[But Sasuke does DX Not what he wanted to see at such a late hour.]

Ohgod...

[visionofblood]

Hmm...?

[His face turns toward the screen, luckily not far enough to give Sasuke a good look. His mouth pulls in a pained grimace that can't be considered a smile; not by a long-shot.]

Sasuke-kun. Isn't it past your bedtime?

[sauceytomato]

[He'll just...try to keep dinner down.]

I don't have one, uncle.

[visionofblood]

[Now would be a damned good time to acquaint yourself with the notion, nephew love. Izuna hums a sound that means nothing specific and returns to the task at hand.]

[Video]

[lastdragonlord]

[Looking faintly horrified, but then, he has seen pretty bad things, assisting Gaius.]

Oh. Oh. Is that what the eyes were for?

[Duh, Merlin, DUH.]

[Video]

[visionofblood]

[The humor hits him somewhere in the middle of Merlin's question. He gasps a coughing laugh and nods several times, while treating the left side to the same crude surgery as the right.

It doesn't appear to be causing him any pain.]

[Video]

[lastdragonlord]

O-okay, so maybe it was a bit silly of me, but he didn't seem terribly eager to share so I didn't pry.

I'm sorry they didn't work.

[Ew, Izuna, EW. There are neater ways of doing that.]

[Video]

[visionofblood]

[He makes a 'pop!' sound with his mouth and wiggles his fingers at the camera. Sorry, Merlin. This is a sensitive topic and he's been caught vulnerable, at his very weakest.

The best he can manage is gallows humor. Better than cleansing fire at any rate.]

I had nothing to lose by trying.

[Voice]

[dreams_are_mine]

[Now that's interesting.]

Hm~ If you need eyes, dead ones won't do.

[Video;]

[visionofblood]

Na, na ... they weren't dead at the time, they simply deteriorated.

[A shoulder lifts as though to say 'what can be done?' It is how it is.]

[Video;]

[dreams_are_mine]

Well then you need ones that won't, clearly.

[Video;]

[visionofblood]

That's the hope.

[thefirstuchiha]

[Madara's clearly not happy. In fact, one could say that he was quite pissed. He knew this was a risk and that it most likely wouldn't work...but Izuna wanted to try it so he didn't object. But Snape had not told him that his brother's "new" eyes would rot out of his sockets.]

[The gore does not upset him in the least. He's seen worse. Hell, he took Izuna's eyes out himself with his own hands. He's lived with the sight of Izuna's eyeless face for over eighty years.]

He said this would work. He didn't mention there was a possibility of your eyes rotting away.

[His voice is soft, but the fury in them toward Snape is obvious. He will be threatening Snape the next time he sees him and it won't be pleasant for the wizard one bit.]

[visionofblood]

He's a proud man. I'd say he told me what I needed to hear so I'd agree to this, but ... honestly, I don't believe he factored it in as a possibility.

He sounds almost as shaken up by this as I do.

[Izuna's voice is collected, serene - but not to Madara. Madara, who knows him better than anyone, who can read his peaceful tones and hear the seething tempest beneath.

He's upset. He's been exposed to the entire network, Sasuke's being hopelessly upsetting, and it's insult to injury-of-pride. He bows his head further and swallows back nausea; he can't throw up in the sink, not with Severus on his way with the promise of something to fully clear this away.]

[thefirstuchiha]

[Yes, he's known Izuna long enough to tell if something was wrong, and something definitely was wrong. A normal person would not place the blame Snape for something that is out of their control, but Madara is far from normal. After all, Madara is known for blaming others.]

[He's already heading to where Izuna is. Nothing would keep him from Izuna right now.]

He should have done his research more thoroughly. There was too much at stake here for him to be experimenting.

[visionofblood]

[His voice has a smile, but it's strained like it hurts.]

All research is conducted through trial and error. There's never been a case quite like mine. Our eyes are connected to a network of very strong chakra paths, he had no way of knowing a living eye of the wrong origin would fail so drastically, so soon.

[His hands clench on the edge of the sink, head bowing low and shoulders bending as he grits his teeth, and trembles his hands tighter until the knuckles just. Ache.

His voice never wavers from its quiet rationality. This is the price he pays, being Madara's brother. He cannot act as he had during Rhode's nightmares, never again. He has to keep his head. He has to maintain calm. He can't embarrass them all again, not with this. Not further than this.]

They did work ... briefly.
