keepitcanine: (♋ countdown to zero)

First Howl ♋ [Action/Voice]

All right!

Listen up and listen good, you sick freaks! I don't know what kind of stupid joke you bastards are trying to pull, but it ends here, right now!


[For those nearby, in the forest Kiba and Hinata have found themselves in, they might be able to hear or even witness the heated broadcast first-hand. Otherwise, their voices and an occasional camera snapshot is going to be all available to the casual or curious listener. Even so, the journal's camera might be just useful enough to capture the current moment: Hinata, who is just behind Kiba, has a worried look on her face in contrast to Kiba's absolutely livid one. When Hinata starts to talk, her voice is soft and incomparable to Kiba's challenging tone.] Um, Kiba-kun…?

[If Kiba heard her, he shows no indication of it, his voice a frustrated snarl.] Where is he?! Where. Is. Akamaru?

Kiba-kun?

[Kiba voice lowers, though it loses little of its emotional edge.] If you people have hurt him, I’ll—I’ll—

Kiba-kun, please. [This time, Hinata's voice is louder than her first few attempts. She even puts a gentle hand on his shoulder to get his attention, if not to calm the angry ninja. Kiba stops, and the journals might detect a brief pause as Kiba turns his head to regard her, his voice softening, though it's still sharp and brittle.]

What?

[She's startled to silence for a beat or two before she composes herself and gives that shoulder a very soft squeeze of reassurance.] I just think you- you should calm down for a while... Akamaru-kun shouldn't be too far and I think we can find him if we look hard enough. Would you mind if I- if I address the citizens of this place instead?

[There's a pause that's soon followed by a rustle of sound as the journal changes hands. The grimace on his face is almost detectable.] All right. Fine. You do it. Doesn't matter to me anyway.

[When Hinata receives his journal, she gives him a small smile of thanks. Unlike Kiba's previous address, Hinata's attempt will be gentle and polite.] To— To anyone who has seen a tall white dog, he belongs to my friend. Please, we'd like to have him back. Whoever took him, Akamaru-kun is part of our team and we will not stand around until we find him. We will also—

[Then Kiba's voice suddenly cuts in from a small distance away.] You tell those bastards that if they've done anything, and I mean anything, to him, I'll make them regret it! I'll find them and shove these stupid, goddamn wings down their throats! Don't think I won't!

[She gives him an understanding smile. He's going through a lot and if she was the one who had someone precious to her taken away, she'd be distressed too. Turning to the journal again, Hinata continues her diplomatic speech with a more determined face that even the camera likely captures.]—not hesitate to perform necessary procedures if we ever discover that he is injured or hurt.

Thank you.


[And the feed snaps off with an audible click. Though those within the forest might still come upon them, perhaps just after their broadcast as they talk on the ground floor, or perhaps sometime later as they jump from tree to tree in rapid, though attentive haste, pausing every little while to rest briefly.]

[Have some incomprehensible sputtering on the other line.]

You have no—

Tch! Fine! But hurry up.
endgames: (Pro)

[voice]

[personal profile] endgames 2011-09-20 05:57 am (UTC)(link)
[Make sure you pay attention then. 8| But no, that's his job, as the one explaining it.]

We're all in a different world right now, Kiba. Farthest place from Konoha or wherever the hell you were at that you can think of right now.

And before you say it - yeah, I know how stupid that sounds. But it's the truth.

[voice]

[identity profile] keepingitcanine.livejournal.com 2011-09-20 06:06 am (UTC)(link)
It doesn't just sound stupid, it sounds absolutely retarded.
endgames: (Maybe)

[voice]

[personal profile] endgames 2011-09-20 06:21 am (UTC)(link)
Heh. Not gonna argue with you on that one.

Re: [voice]

[identity profile] keepingitcanine.livejournal.com 2011-09-20 06:45 am (UTC)(link)
Course you're not.

What else?

[And if he sounds impatient, it's because he is.]
endgames: (Hmm)

[voice]

[personal profile] endgames 2011-09-20 06:57 am (UTC)(link)
[There's a lot he thinks he might be better off explaining whenever Kiba's calmer. The experiments, the Malnosso, etc. He'll trust that info to Hinata for now.]

We can't get home. Haven't found a way yet, anyways. [He will.] There's some people we know who've shown up here too, but not a whole lot.

[voice]

[identity profile] keepingitcanine.livejournal.com 2011-09-20 07:09 am (UTC)(link)
Yet?

[There's a sound of him perhaps scrambling up a tree. You can't really have expected him to sit too still for long.]

How long have you been here and who else is?

[He thinks he overheard something about the wings from Hinata's journal a few seconds ago, but hell if he really is paying too much attention to it at the moment.]
endgames: (Thinking)

[voice]

[personal profile] endgames 2011-09-20 07:21 am (UTC)(link)
[Had to be that question.]

...I've been here a year. Naruto's been here three times as long, and he's been here the longest aside from me. With you and Hinata, there's twelve of us total.

[voice] 1/4

[identity profile] keepingitcanine.livejournal.com 2011-09-20 08:11 am (UTC)(link)
.... A year?

[Yeah, that makes a whole lot of sense, though it's nothing to compare to Naruto's three.]

You've been stuck in this damn place a year?

[identity profile] keepingitcanine.livejournal.com 2011-09-20 08:16 am (UTC)(link)
....

Are you okay? Or are the clouds that damn interesting you actually want to stay here? They turn into giant shogi pieces and challenge you to a game or something?

/done; I lied.

[identity profile] keepingitcanine.livejournal.com 2011-09-20 08:17 am (UTC)(link)
Whatever.

Soon as I find Akamaru, I'm busting all of us outta here.
endgames: (Can't believe this shit)

/o/ and 1/2

[personal profile] endgames 2011-09-20 08:26 am (UTC)(link)
Tch. Like I'd quit trying for something stupid like that. I'd be happier watching clouds at home, but that's beside the point.
endgames: (Why me)

[personal profile] endgames 2011-09-20 08:26 am (UTC)(link)
Kiba, I'm not saying he won't show up, but Akamaru is like everyone else we know from home who isn't here. He might not have been sent to Luceti with you.

Tell me where you're at and I'll help you look anyways, but you gotta keep that in mind.

1/3

[identity profile] keepingitcanine.livejournal.com 2011-09-20 05:35 pm (UTC)(link)
I dunno, you can be pretty stupid for a genius sometimes.

[identity profile] keepingitcanine.livejournal.com 2011-09-20 05:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[Silence on his end. He knows deep down that that might be the case: that Akamaru might not be here, or they might not find him at all, but he still doesn't want to admit it, think about it anymore than he has to.

Just pisses him off at any rate, added to everything else.

He has to be around here somewhere, anyway. He'll prove them all wrong!]

[identity profile] keepingitcanine.livejournal.com 2011-09-20 06:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[Then, finally, albeit a bit stiffly:]

We're near the edge of the forest, I think. We're pretty close to the village—that's what Hinata's saying, anyway—and I think I smell water nearby. Maybe a lake or something. Once you're in the forest we could probably direct you better.




And, uh, thanks.
endgames: (Listening)

[personal profile] endgames 2011-09-20 11:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[He appreciates how much faith you have in him, Kiba. 8|]

Don't mention it. [He knows how much Akamaru means to him, and after that one mission, he's as much a comrade as anyone else Shikamaru knows.]

There's only two lakes in this place and if you're as close to the village as you think, I know where you're at. I'll go ask Hinata for more pointers just in case, and head out as soon as I can.

[identity profile] keepingitcanine.livejournal.com 2011-09-21 05:27 am (UTC)(link)
[You're welcome. HIS FAITH IN YOU IS STRONG.]

We'll meet you there, then. This stupid place can't be that big.

[Another beat.]

Wait. [Hadn't Hinata—] Is there a barrier or something surrounding this place?
endgames: (Casual)

[personal profile] endgames 2011-09-21 05:50 am (UTC)(link)
There is. It's a large enclosure, but the barrier surrounds the village entirely. There's not a lot of places to run to, and we should be able to cover it all in two or three days.

[identity profile] keepingitcanine.livejournal.com 2011-09-21 07:16 am (UTC)(link)
What would happen if I attacked it

[A beat.]

...theoretically?
endgames: (No seriously)

[personal profile] endgames 2011-09-21 07:46 am (UTC)(link)
It wouldn't end well. Broken bones and shit.

Theoretically.

[identity profile] keepingitcanine.livejournal.com 2011-09-23 07:09 am (UTC)(link)
[Insert scowl here.]

So we're in a freakin' cage.
endgames: (Pro)

[personal profile] endgames 2011-09-23 08:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Got it in one.

[identity profile] keepingitcanine.livejournal.com 2011-09-26 06:27 am (UTC)(link)
Worst time to be right ever. This is stupid.
endgames: (Meh)

[personal profile] endgames 2011-09-26 01:07 pm (UTC)(link)
It's not gonna get any better either, so long as you're here. But does that answer your questions for now?
