Hey book--or I guess people listening to the book?

... It's kinda weird talkin' to a book like this.

ANYWAYS, ahahah, I was just wonderin' when this prank is gonna be over? The whole thing about there not bein' any ramen stands around? I guess I could kinda see how that would be funny for like... five minutes, but it's really turned into somethin' cruel! So somebody just tell me where the damn ramen is, y'know?

PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE? I haven't ate in days...!

[And the option for action for the Charming Murderess or anybody walking along the docks really. There's a blond ninja in tattered clothing crawling on the pier looking pitiful.]

action

[forthevillage]

[Naruto will find himself staring at a pair of boots belonging to a certain ninja in a long coat. Itachi just stares down at him.]

I know you have to have been on missions where you were away from the village for extended periods of time, so there has to be something else you can eat.

[obstinates]

[Naruto is in the process of crawling forward towards the village when he's stopped by some legs. He slowly glances up to see Itachi. It might not be the Itachi he's used to, but it's still Itachi.

He just whines.]

But I always brought cup ramen and Kakashi-sensei would let me cook it when we stopped for the night, y'know.

[forthevillage]

You brought... cup ramen. On your missions.

[There's the slightest bit of incredulity in that statement.]

I'm not sure how you kept your health.

[He pauses, glancing over his shoulder.] It might be more costly than you're used to, but you should check with Miss Margie. If she can bring in chocolate frogs belonging to wizards, she can bring in cup ramen. It would cost you far too much to have it every day, however.

In the meanwhile, I was going to go fishing. If you would like me to roast you something freshly caught over the fire, let me know.

[yatteyanyo]

... Are you an idiot?

[voice]

[obstinates]

What the hell? I didn't do anything to you! Don't call me an idiot, book! Or whoever you are!

Re: [voice]

[yatteyanyo]

I know for a fact that the ship you're on has food stores. No one has reported any shortages. Just because it doesn't have ramen doesn't mean you should starve yourself. And, yes, if you do that you're an idiot.

{Voice}

[mephistophilus]

What a strange affliction you must have! I know not what this "Ramen" might be, yet to only be able to eat it is strange indeed.

{Voice}

[obstinates]

Yeah, I'm afflicted so hard right now, y'know! So much affliction. But how the hell can you not know what ramen is? It's the greatest thing in the world.

{Voice}

[mephistophilus]

What does it consist of? Are the ingredients difficult to acquire?

action

[slugly]

[GRABBING BACK OF HIS JACKET TO HAUL HIM UP

and she was saving this for your birthday celebration (whenever that is) but]

Here.

[It's some cup ramen she found at Margie's after checking in on her sickness. 'Happy Late Birthday, Naruto!!' is written on a small card. It says from Sakura and Sasuke even if he didn't say anything about it.]

Re: action

[obstinates]

[At first he squirms because HE'S BEING ASSAULT BY SOMEONE maybe it's one of those huge fucking birds that has swooped down and is about to drag him to its nest. Or maybe it's the dragon Sasuke drew and it's come to take its revenge for Naruto saying it looked like a turd with wings.]

DON'T EAT ME--

[He almost screams, "MONSTER," but luckily he stops in time when he realizes it's not the bad kind of monster.

Then he sees what she has.

Then he starts to sob uncontrollably.]

I'm saved--! I'm gonna live after all, y'know!

[Action]

[grandlineswag]

Seems that the sea has washed up something unsightly.

[He puffs away at his stogie as he looks down at the boy, raising an eyebrow.]

If you're going to die, can you kindly do it in an out-of-the-way place, and not a busy walking area? We've got people trying to supply ships, myself included.

Re: [Action]

[obstinates]

[Bah, what an asshole! Naruto is just going to make sure he's in the way even more.]

I've got a stomach I'm trying to supply, y'know! The ships aren't gonna die, but I might.

[audio]

[bepobear]

You haven't eaten? Are you stuck somewhere with no food?

[audio]

[obstinates]

[Just gurgling noises.]

[action]

[thethundersaid]

[Sasuke is getting back from a run around the island -- it's fine to run on the water every day, but there's something about ground pushing back that he misses when they're at sea -- when he sees Naruto sprawled out on the pier in front of the Murderess. Not even sprawled out so much as oozing along the ground like a slug in bad condition.

He doesn't want to know, Sasuke decides, and walks right past Naruto and onto the ship without bothering to acknowledge him.

It's embarrassing to have had to admit that he is somehow connected to that.]

Re: [action]

[obstinates]

[Naruto isn't surprised that Sasuke just ignores him, but that doesn't make him HAPPY about it. He frowns, turns around on his hands and knees still, and then hops up to follow Sasuke even though he looked like he was dying before.]

What do you eat around here?

[Voice]

[princelycharm]

Ramen?

[Unfortunately he couldn't understand anything else aside from the fact that the boy on the other end was looking for Ramen.]

You mean commoner noodles?

Re: [Voice]

[obstinates]

[Unfortunately Naruto takes offense at that description.]

Commoner noodles? Ramen is fit for a king, y'know!

[allendsmeat]

There's a lot to eat besides ramen. If you're just gonna rely on that you're gonna starve to death. [a horrible way to go. He'd almost rather do anything than that.]

[obstinates]

Too late, I'm dying already, y'know.

Check the Backwater Brig. They might have some.

[ Only, he's neglecting to mention that the Brig isn't exactly cheap. ]

[In chicken scratch:]

somebody else said something like that

do you think they have miso ramen with roasted pork?

written.

[ryuuhime]

What is ramen?

Re: written.

[obstinates]

food

the greatest food of all time

if you took all the greatest things and put them all together they still wouldn't be ramen

unless some of those things were types of ramen
