[With all the information coming out, it's apparent to Keith and Lance that one big elephant in the room has been ignored: the infection among the recruits themselves. Keith is tired and on edge, as he needs nothing to do with the infection to be cranky. Lance is jittery, too. But they have to talk about that elephant before it gets too late.

And for some of them, it might be. That's what Keith is really afraid of right now.]

Hey. It's Keith.

and ya boy, lance! [Because things are already pretty doom and gloom as it stands, and maybe things could use a little lightening up? Or something...

It’s a little more difficult to differentiate between people in a group message like this, but it’s a better idea to get something down on text in case they need to refer to it later, and anyone who knows either of the boys can probably tell them apart pretty easily through diction alone.]

we know your mind-phones have been pretty busy lately, but theres something keith and i wanted to talk to you guys about.

Before we get a move on in attacking Zymandis' agent, we need to look at our own numbers. A lot of us are sick. Maybe less than I thought. Or maybe more. Either way, we have to know who's sick and make a plan to help our own. And I'm serious about HELPING. Not putting someone out of their misery or any of the other stupid stuff I've heard from some of this team. We need to stop this disease. We need to help our own. Once everyone's BETTER, we'll make a plan for what to do next as a team.

[It's harsher than necessary but likely less harsh than how it might be normally, given Keith's frequently frustrated tone of voice. Text mitigates some of it, even if his frustration definitely does become CAPITAL LETTERS.

Lance, meanwhile, is quite eager to gloss over that sharp reprimand because seriously guys — kumbaya.]

yeeeeeah, so — helping! getting a head count is definitely ideal. we cant afford to be silent on this and we definitely CANT be alone right now, cuz every one of us affected and on our own can be a huge risk to everyone here. so we were thinking… since the city shut it down, we can use the middle school. those of us infected can stay there while we wait for our people to find that cure. like a quarantine safe house.. i know its not ideal, but its something. especially for those who dont have any other contingency plans.

[A pause. Well. May as well get the ball rolling, right?]

ill be there.

( ooc; p.s. there is an information plotting post for the quarantine space! )

Kinda, I guess. We learn to make clones in the academy, an' we can make ourselves look like anyone or anythin' else with the same kinda technique.

[ He shrugs because well.. the explanation makes it boring. So he opts to spice it up. ]

Like this--! [ He forms another hand sign, and then Lance is looking right at.. a copy of himself, only dressed in Naruto's ridiculous tracksuit. The clone puts up his hands like ta-da before he pulls on his own cheek as if to prove it's real. ] We can turn into pretty much anyone if we got a good look at 'em. I'm the one who came up with the sexy jutsu, though.. So I could get outta doin' things adults wanted me to do.

[ Naruto........ Don't explain it like that........... With Lance's mouth..... ]

[ ah... don't taint him like this, naruto...

though negl, he is looking pretty fly in that orange tracksuit, where can he get himself one of those. dang. ]

That's crazy... [ he also respects the motive behind boobs!naruto, tbh. he's still a teen too, okay!

also hang on. plot hole. ]

You can't change clothes, though?

What?

[ He scrunches up his nose, then props his.. Lance's.... whoevers... chin on his hand. ]

Yeah, of course I can. I just like my outfit.

[ Mic.. Drop... ]

[ oh.

well that's fair... ]

It's a pretty cool outfit. Though I'm more partial to blue, myself.

[ ba dum tsh... ]

[ Naruto snorts. ]

I got a friend who used to wear a lotta blue, y'know. He's an asshole.

[ He's also.. here... so he's not going to name drop. He's mostly saying it to be an asshole himself. ]

What's so great about blue, then?

[ omg sasuke why you gotta tarnish our rep like that man... ]

Uh, it's only the greatest color ever? [ he may not be a bit more defensive about it than he was in the beginning, because now he has to Represent. ]

It's everywhere! It's the sky, it's the ocean, it's the rain...

[ it's also the color of his eyes... that's ~beautiful~ ]

[ Naruto's eyes are blue too, so he can relate to blue being a pretty great color, but he can also make his eyes go orange using a different kind of ninja technique..... so in that respect he's still firmly in the Orange Camp. ]

Yeah, but orange is the sunrise, y'know. And fireworks.

[ Fireworks are the best. He looks appropriately proud. ]

[ .............. ]

Blue raspberry.

[ IT IS UNDISPUTED FACT THAT BLUE FLAVORED CANDIES ARE THE BEST FLAVORED CANDIES. ]

[ .......................................... ]

What's a blue raspberry? Is that alien food?

[ If pizza is new to him them blue raspberry is definitely also something he's never encountered before, Lance, YA DINGUS. ]

[ LOOK IT'S BEEN SOME TIME SINCE THEN? what have you been doing with your life if not eating all the bad 90s food, YOU'RE THE DINGUS. ]

It's — I mean I guess, technically, any food that isn't ninja food is alien food to you but—

Never mind, don't worry about it, just take my word for it, it's amazing.

[ He can't help but laugh at that. ]

Alright-

[ And poofs back into himself to move away the trail they were taking down uncanny valley. ]

I guess blue is pretty good. An' I'm sorry for scarin' you with that jutsu. Heh, maybe I shoulda warned you before doin' it. Even though that's not really what ninjas do.

[ He's... way too smug. ]

[ wow shut your face ]

—I wasn't scared.

I saw your face, you looked like you were gonna pass out.

Yeah, from blood loss—

[ WAIT THAT SOUNDS QUESTIONABLE ]

I mean shut up! Your fake girl eyes probably need glasses or something!

[ SNORT.... ]

Sure, an' you need help for bein' scared of boobs.

[ He's gonna tell all your friends about this. He will also never let it go. ]

Edited 2017-04-03 15:34 (UTC)

I'M NOT SCARED OF BOOBS! I love boobs! Boobs are great!!

[ The paladin doth protest too much. ]

Ya told me to stop doin' it, an' ya looked pretty scared. Are ya sure? Everyone's got a weakness, y'know!

—there's nothing shameful about having beautiful women be your weakness.

But that's not the point! You... surprised me. [ YEAH THAT'S IT ] That's all!

Okay, okay, sure. I get it. I'll make sure I tell ya whenever I'm gonna be naked and around you in future.

[ Phrasing........................ ]

[ why are you like this ]

How about you just never do it. Ever. Let's consider that.

[ are you talking to naruto or the person writing him ;)

Naruto snorts, again. ]

Nah. [ He can't promise that, it's his favourite jutsu, dude. ] But I won't do it around you, though, how's that?

[ WHYNOTBOTH.JPG ]

Honestly? I'll take it.

[ he has a feeling he should consider this a small mercy. ]
