009. Anonymous Text/Action for Goldenrod City

[ANONYMOUS TEXT]

[The anon text on the network tonight is simple and to-the-point, hitting at about eleven at night; it seems that somebody isn't sleeping easily.]

Is there a way to stop hating someone?

If not, is there at least a way to stop being so angry about it all the time?





[ACTION]

[While he's not straying too far from the house he and his classmates have more or less taken over (with the assistance of a ridiculous amount of Eevees), Ishimaru can be found wandering around outside tonight; he's staying close to the breeding center and the like, but he's definitely seeming more restless than usual, his actions aimless. He's been having difficulty sleeping for almost a week now; it probably shows in his mannerisms and his speech - everything has been seeming less enthusiastic than usual - but he's been trying to keep up appearances, if nothing else.

At least he's not alone for the time being; he's got Eeveemaru with him - one of the members of the great furball legion from the house, all decked out in what looks like a little replica of Ishimaru's coat and armband (because if Togami thinks he's getting any aspect of this back - Eevee or outfit - he's got another thought coming to him, apparently). The thing is just kind of chilling on his shoulders for now, seeming a bit bewildered at being outside at a reasonably late hour but not too bothered otherwise; once in a while it bats at something not visible to anyone but there nonetheless - seems he's got Aiko with him as well, though the Misdreavus isn't visible for now.

It's late, and he's tired, but at least the night is nice, if a bit overcast. Maybe it'll rain soon, who knows. He just doesn't feel like being inside.]

It might not be. You still shouldn't let what someone else did run your life. I had to learn that the hard way.

It doesn't matter what it was.

[Big sigh. That's hard for him to admit -- part of him wants to agree with the anonymous texter he's talking to -- but he knows it's true. It has to be.]

That's your choice.
beforethedarkness: (Pathetic.)

[Give him a minute or two because he has to swallow something else when he replies - namely, some of his pride.]

Then you're already stronger than I was.

[He'll take those words or ponder on them, but as far as Ishimaru is concerned Sasuke has nothing left to say. Therefore, he's not going to get another response unless he texts again.

Strength of morals is still strength, after all. And he still has a long way to go.]
