sixth glance from the crow's nest -- voice

This is Uchiha Itachi of the Howling Sabers.

[The voice is tired sounding. In the background, one might be able to hear the sounds of raucous laughter and generally loud voices somewhere in the distance.]

I am alive, and on the island of Deesuko Ballia. I'm not sure what day it is, or how close you are to here. If I can find a nav I will return to you.

[He'd prefer this entry to be private, just as he'd prefer the option of being able to buy or steal a small ship. Both of these things are made difficult, however, by his current lack of sight. Trying to see is an exercise in frustration, as he keeps thinking he can just make something out through the dark haze and blurred forms, but this just ends up making him sickeningly dizzy. At the moment, he's keeping his eyes closed.]

If someone could report the status of the others to me privately, I would appreciate it.

Alive? Why, what happened to you?

Failure, I believe.

[It's his first time dying here, and not something he wants to risk repeating again.]

Failure at what?

Our mission. I will not discuss the details.

[He'd failed to protect his brother too, and that made it worse.]

Are you alright now?

[No.]

I'm well enough. Alive - that's the important part. And I've made contact with my crew.

Hmm - it makes me wonder.

Being alive isn't synonymous to being well, is it? But it's a start.

It's a start, yes.

And as I said. I'm well enough.

Alright.

I wish you well.

Thank you, Miss Kodachi.

Futo is already on the ship... We shall send party to retrieve you shortly.

... Are you alright?

Is this secure?

[He doesn't need to go spreading his weaknesses over an open channel.]

It is now.

I can't... see anything. I don't know how extensive the damage is.

... Have you heard from my brother?

Not yet...

I will report your condition to Link. We can come to you. You... should rest.

I'll try to find somewhere hidden for the night.

... Please let me know when you have word on him. [Not 'if'. When.]

Absolutely. It is imperative we know his whereabouts...

Good.

I will continue to search for a Nav, but I'm not sure how fruitful that will be, given the circumstances.

You should probably let us come to you, actually.

Will it pull you a great deal off course?

Right now? We have no course. Our goal is recovery, nothing more.

... I see.

Then very well.

We shall be there as soon as we can. Just rest for now.

Alright.

... Thank you.

Itachi??

[Well, there's another one. At least there seems to be some truth to the rumors that people don't stay dead for long in this world.]

...It's—a relief to hear from you. Are you alright? Aside from that whole 'just died' thing.

Your concern is appreciated.

Can you make this secure, please?

Oh, right, sorry—

Alright, I think it is.

Thank you.

[He couldn't see if it was, of course. He just assumed that it wasn't.]

There's something wrong with my eyesight. For all practical purposes, I've been blinded.

[There's a long pause, and then:]

Blinded? Bloody hell, how?? Did that arsehole hit you with something?

Poison. But I can't say if that's what did it.

It wasn't like this until I woke up again.

[His Sharingan is basically useless this way.]

[Thinking, thinking.]

If it was the poison, I might be able to help. I don't have the supplies here, but I could order them from Miss Margie and possibly make an antidote. Maybe. Not knowing what kind of poison it was makes it tricky. Maybe it won't have a lasting effect, though. Perhaps it's just temporary?

Thank you, but if it's the poison, then it's already run its course. I doubt an antidote would do any good.

[He pauses, thoughtfully.]

I will... look into possible healing alternatives once I've rejoined with you and someone can get an outside look at the damage.

You don't know that, magic works in strange way sometimes.

It seems we're on the way to get you now, so hopefully you won't have to wait long.

... I wish that didn't have to be the case.

...Wish what didn't?

Our crew having to go our of their way to retrieve me.

It's not really out of the way. It's not as though we had other plans.

Besides. You're part of that crew. We're not allowed to just leave you there.

... Thank you.

Please. Tell me if you hear from my brother.

...Yeah. Sure, I will. He'll turn up.

I appreciate it.
