tentative intro post...

[forthevillage]

I didn't see anyone else doing this, so I'm stepping cautiously out to do so since I'm completely new to the game...

HI. I'm Lauren, and I'm bringing you Itachi Uchiha from that one anime about ninjas and their personal issues. (Naruto) He was 21 at his last point in current canon, but I'm bringing him in at the tender age of 13... just after massacring everyone in his clan but his brother.

...Happy Pokemon fun times!

Anyway, trying not to include too many spoilers, but if you know the canon then you know he's not really a bad guy. He just plays one on TV. He'll be wanting everyone to think he is, though, and he'll be starting out in Team Rocket to boot. This whole scenario will be rather difficult to adjust to, so it might take a little while for him to decide he isn't actually losing his mind after everything.

He'll be starting out with a lunatone named Tsukuyomi and a zubat named Dokuga (because he might as well name them).

You can catch me on plurk at laverinth, though it is privated. I still need to spruce up his journal a little bit and add some important pages, but I'm looking forward to playing here!

Hi Lauren, welcome to Route! I'm Katar and I play John Egbert from Homestuck and Faize Sheifa Beleth from Star Ocean: The Last Hope! Glad to see Itachi here again with our fabulous ninja cast. I hope you have fun with us here!

Also don't be scared, we don't bite AND SOMEBODY HAS TO INTRO FIRST SO GOOD ON YOU FOR BEING THE ONE.

[forthevillage]

Hey, Katar! I think I saw you at Animus, though I could just never manage to stay at that game, try as I might.

[ghostytrainer]

I thought I recognized your plurk name from somewhere (other than just seeing you in mutual friends plurks). I just dropped the game myself last month. But yes, same dork here though considerably more chipper and less serious business than the version the tower ended up developing.

[forthevillage]

Yeah! I didn't play this guy there, though. Just that human AU Gamzee for a while, then I tried again with Isamu from SMTIII. It's just the place that doesn't click with me, even though I like a lot of people there.

[ghostytrainer]

THAT'S WHY YOU SEEMED SO FAMILIAR. Okay yes, mystery solved now, I feel better. But yeah, I understand that. It's kind of a hit and miss game but the people there are great. I was kind of bummed that I never got the chance to thread with your AU Gamzee, he looked neat but I completely dropped the ball on actually tagging him. And yes, SMTIII good.

[aflashoffaith]

papakage isn't going to buy that bad guy bs for a second young man

But ahhh goodness, young Itachi. Exciting! c: I'm Kaity and I play Minato here, looking forward to threading with you! Welcome!

[forthevillage]

I know, and it will be terrible. /)_(\

I'm looking forward to it too, though! Thank you!

[aflashoffaith]

only have yourself to blame Itachi, you were the one that told him the story hahaha

sending you an add on plurk, i'm tenxsquared

[crackpotcrocker]

Welcome to Route!

Hope you have fun here <33

Oh, and I'm Bluespikey and play Mr. Crocker from Fairly Odd here :)

[forthevillage]

Thank you! I intend to! :3

[beforethedarkness]

SCREEEEEEEEECH HI

I AM RIZU. I AM EXTREMELY EXCITED TO THE POINT WHERE I WILL BE OBNOXIOUS WITH CAPSLOCKING.

But seriously I was mega excited when I saw your app. <3 Welcome to Route! I play this little brat, though thanks to CR here he knows almost all about the behind the scenes - meaning that he's going to clear things up with his brother as soon as humanly possible (without putting him at risk within Team Rocket). Granted, he's still confused about feelings regarding all of it - especially since he found out that he will be successful with his previous ultimate goal - but it'll probably be pressure off to know that little bro is still mostly on Itachi's side, right?

Also holy crap Sasuke is actually technically the older brother now; he turned 14 in July. :3

[forthevillage]

If he starts treating him like a younger brother, Itachi will deadpan at him forever.

I AM ALSO VERY EXCITED as I love playing out bro things with these two like you wouldn't believe. He's going to be real secretive for a while, but he'll have to reveal himself at some point.

[beforethedarkness]

Haha he probably won't. Itachi is forever his big brother no matter just what their age gap is.

Bro things rule! <3 I'm looking forward to getting to play with you whenever he does reveal himself!

[eclectictype]

Hello, friend, welcome to Route! I'm Mozart and I play Maka Albarn from Soul Eater, Jade Harley from Homestuck (who happens to be the twin sister of that derp named John that derp named Katar plays) and Botan from Yu Yu Hakusho.

I will summarily pinch baby Itachi's cheeks just for lack of anything else to do.

[forthevillage]

Pinching his cheeks is probably the last thing you want to do, but this is an OOC post, so you can get away with it.

HELLO I'm well acquainted with the first two canons, though only moderately so with the third.

[eclectictype]

Yeah, I live life on the edge, don'tchaknow. Except I think the only one with the gall to actually do that IC would be Botan and only if she knew him really well and was sure he wouldn't break her neck ninja style for it (like she already knows a punk, it's not like she's unfamiliar with being knocked on the head).

Also Yu Yu Hakusho is older than the internet, all you need to know about her is she's the perkiest fucking shinigami in anime.

[forthevillage]

Oh I know her! I've watched a couple arcs of the show, I think, but it's been a long time.

[soundmind]

HAH, then please disregard me for I suck the cocks.

[forthevillage]

Pfft, it's all good.

[used_friendship]

OH

HELLO

WE MEET AGAIN

pinches his lil cheeks

except not because das gay

[forthevillage]

omg I can't even get rid of you.

I mean hey Draggy.

[used_friendship]

You can't. I'm everywhere what's with that.

[forthevillage]

idk I might need roach spray.

[believeit]

[forthevillage]

...Aw.

[believeit]

Sits here still

also you get to see Itachi the Murkrow now. A past Itachi specifically told him not to name one after him so Naruto ignored it and did the opposite naturally.

[forthevillage]

Pffft.

[throw_stone]

Hello! I am Kururu, a Naruto-blind person, who is the Final Fantasy queen. I play Vanille the overly-cheerful girl from Final Fantasy 13, and Ramza here the linefacing not!noble-nobleman from Final Fantasy Tactics!
Welcome to Poketimes, I hope we don't scare you off!

[forthevillage]

I haven't played XIII, but I'm very fond of Tactics, so it's good to see Ramza! And it's alright. Not everyone can weather the 600+ chapters of shounen ninja drama.

[throw_stone]

Haha, Ramza is great to play as well (and i can just love you for knowing him i am an ivalice junkie) - I will be sure to throw him at you! After all, he is... uh... well, he's trying to be friendly. In his own way. >>

[angerpoints]

Hi, Lauren!! I'm Karen, and I play Yusuke Urameshi from Yu Yu Hakusho. Yusuke briefly interacted with our last Itachi (and suspected him of being ~up to no good~, no less - his Bad Guy Senses misfired, what can I say), so just as a heads-up, he might end up looking at tiny!Itachi and going, "hold up, do I know you from somewhere?". So uh... YEAH. That ought to be interesting, I think.

ANYWAY, I hope you have fun here, and I look forward to seeing you around! o/

[forthevillage]

Itachi has done plenty of no good things, so it's natural for him to give off that aura sometimes. Haha. I wouldn't be opposed to them eventually meeting up!

Thank you!

[usedswift]

WOW I AM SO LATE HELLO FELLOW DUMB NINJA PLAYER

I'm Jade, and I play Tenten here from just after the Chuunin Exams (also she's sort-of dating your younger brother whoops).

It's really great to have you in-game, I'm really looking forward to it!
