two crows - video - day 373

[yourhatred]

[This is Itachi attempting a bit of holiday spirit. And if he's going to be doing this, he might as well let those see it who might get a kick out of it. Apparently this holiday is a big deal for a lot of the inhabitants here.

He adjusts the image so that his sweater is clearly visible and even flips the lights on.]

I understand why people would be irritated with having their coats turned into something they didn't expect recently, but if not for that I find this particular tradition somewhat charming.

[This is not a cursed sweater. He actually picked it out himself.]

[He blinks the lights again.]

Oh shit, it lights up. That looks so stupid, where can I get one?

video

[yourhatred]

In the stores with the most gaudy decorations out front, I assume. More than one location is full of holiday frivolities.

[iin2ufferable]

Define "most".

[ They're all pretty bad in his opinion. ]

[yourhatred]

There are a lot of decorated shops out there, I admit.

I believe this was secondhand, an unwanted gift to someone else most likely. I would check Loki's district. That's where I found it.

video

[iin2ufferable]

So that's the only one exactly like that?

video

[yourhatred]

I really don't know. I didn't look for duplicates.

But there were several others that lit up like this one, if that's what you're after. Some in brighter colors.

[iin2ufferable]

Yes. I need them for reasons. Thanks for the heads up, you are a true friend.

[tipsygnostalgia]

I think you mean the best tradition ever.

[Hello Itachi. Roxy is on screen in this wonderful creation. She bought it herself.]

[yourhatred]

[A nod.]

That one is cute also. Very fitting.

Is this something that others do in your world?

video;

[tipsygnostalgia]

It was an Earth thing, yeah. At Christmas time having shitty looking sweaters was a thing.

I find a shop in Freya that sells them though!

[yourhatred]

Loki as well. That's where I got mine. [The most obvious place, really.]

Earth is a common place to be from.

video;

[tipsygnostalgia]

Yeah, most the regular humans here are from Earth. Not the same ones though, apparently there are nine fucking thousand different versions now, or something.

[yourhatred]

... That is a rather confusing way of putting it.

Video.

[kuramaless]

[He's laughing, uncontrollably, as it happens. One hand curled around his stomach, and the other lifting to his mouth to cover it up. That Itachi only gets a view of the floor doesn't bother him in the slightest.]

What're you--

That's--

Video.

[yourhatred]

Do you like it, Naruto?

[Just watching the feed, mildly amused.]

I could pick out one for you also.

Video.

[kuramaless]

It's uh--

Bright?

You shown it to Sasuke yet?

Video.

[yourhatred]

If he sees my message then he will see it too. I haven't had the opportunity to meet up with him in person since it was purchased.

[Which is probably for the best, because Itachi might have wanted to get his brother one too.]

Video.

[kuramaless]

[Guess who is going to send a message to Sasuke as soon as he's done talking to Itachi?]

You should-- go see him.

[Wait a minute!!!]

Hey, you bought that yourself right?

Video.

[yourhatred]

You would enjoy that, I assume.

[He looks down at the sweater again.]

Yes, I did. [He bought a handful, actually. They were cheap. They don't all blink.]

[Video]

[not_sasuke]

I don't know, it just seems a little too... flashy for me.

[Yuusuke are you even serious.]

[Video]

[yourhatred]

Hm.

[A mildly amused quirk of the lips.]

There are plenty without the lights.

[Video]

[not_sasuke]

Still not really my style, I'm afraid. But then again, I get uncomfortable when so many people stare at my clothes.

[Video]

[yourhatred]

Hm. I can understand that.

[He knows it's hideous, don't worry.]

[Video]

[not_sasuke]

You've gotta be a lot braver than me to wear that in public.

[His tone doesn't indicate any sort of teasing. But with that smile, it's hard to tell for sure...]

[Video]

[yourhatred]

I'm not sure it's an issue of bravery.

[Another smile from the ninja as well.]

I simply see no reason to be embarrassed.
