2 ♕ The Hangover [Phone/Action]

[godaime]

[ A - 849 Goldberg Street ]

[ When the sirens began to ring, the only thing Tsunade could do was wake and dash downstairs. There, she encountered her package. Regains from Christmas. She was hesitant to open them during Christmas, given their lack of marking, but, now, without any clue of what would be inside, she decided it would be best if she could open them. Her first one? A picture of a bunch of paperwork from home. ]

What on Ea-[ BOOM

Within the seconds of Tsunade's statement the house seemingly explodes into paper filled chaos. Stacks and stacks of paperwork begin to torrent around the living room, and the living room door bursts wide open, with paper flying out of there by the forests. If you dare to take a look to see what the hell just happened, you'll get a Tsunade who's sitting down with paper up to her shoulders before her pet pig, Tonton, stark naked and without her expensive pearl necklace, pops out of the paper with a fierce oink! ]

[ B - Phone.  ]

Ah, this is probably the worst hangover I ever had. [ Her voice sounds haggard and raspy. She sounds exhausted and weakened by all accounts. ] I can't even remember the last couple of days. What the hell did I drink....? [ She knows what really happened, but, she wants to synthesize as much information as possible and for that, she has to play dumb ] 

[ C - The Post Office ] 

[ With the realization that the paperwork had her entire life story and biography in it with the mysteriously missing parts filled in with her journal that has a day by day summary of her life, Tsunade realized it was time to go to the post office. On the way there, you see a very, veryold lady walking into the office. If you're in there, you know what happens. Tsunade finally made a trade and is, within a blink of an eye, transformed to her younger state.

If you're waiting outside out of curiosity, Tsunade emerges young and not wrinklyas ever. Her loyal pet pig is by her side.  ] 

Ah, Tonton, now that that's out of the way, let's get going. Oink!

[ D - Anywhere! ] 

[ There is a pig following you. Just a random pig. And no matter how much you try to shake it off, it just won't leave you alone. It'll continue to follow you down many streets, with its nose slammed into the ground like a police canine unit. Yep. She doesn't speak, she doesn't talk, she doesn't do anything but follow. ]

[ E - Olney's Tavern ]

[ Tsunade, with her trusty pet pig in her purse like Paris Hilton and chihuahuas, sits at the bar, wallet ready and eager. ]  All right, bartender, make some magic for me. This damn town took two weeks away from my memory, and, in return, I'd like to forget whatever the hell I've been doing from now until the 27th. One Long Island Iced Tea. By the gallon even, I don't give a damn.

[Greed leaves and returns a minute later with a tall glass full of the tea along with a pitcher of it.]

Figured you didn't need a fancy umbrella in your drink, but I can getcha one if you want it.

[godaime]

These drinks come with umbrellas? News to me. [ Tsunade raises the pitcher and begins to drink out of that. Yep. Not tall glass for her. ]

[all_ofthethings]

[He lets out a chuckle as he nods.]

Yeah, but I didn't expect you to care for them much anyway. I'll keep the drinks coming. You drink like this often?

[godaime]

I just discovered it here, actually. But, it's taste is pretty excellent, even against my beloved saké. It helps that they intoxicate quickly. [ Okay, now she'll go for the beloved jug and begin to down that too! ]

[all_ofthethings]

Yeah, nothing here is quite as strong as drinks back home, but this packs a punch when its made the right way.

[He leans against the counter.]

Y'know, I think you'd be able to pull in a good profit from a drinking contest, no one would expect a woman like you to be able to out drink them.

[godaime]

I think the drinks back home are more alcohol based than all of these juiced add-ons. Can't say they aren't delicious though. [ She finishes the cup before laughing. Her laugh is louder than it should be. ]

Tch? Are you kidding me? I've met so many people that could out drink me, it isn't even funny. I'd probably lose that contest. Maybe arm wrestling or something would be more suitable for me. [ She just grins as she begins to pour herself a second glass. ]

[all_ofthethings]

Huh, you arm wrestle? Wouldn't have thought that by just looking at ya, either, but who am I to judge, no one would think I can turn into the ultimate shield in the blink of an eye.

[godaime]

Well, I don't arm wrestle but I could probably beat this entire town if I did. [ She shrugs. If she can lift a skyscraper sized knife, taking down an arm shouldn't be too terrible. ] The ultimate shield? Eh? Are you going to go into detail or are you just going to keep me guessing?

[all_ofthethings]

He smirks.]

Making ya guess might be fun, but I do like show and tell.

[With that a silver substance starts crawling up his skin.]

[godaime]

[ Tsunade observes the man as his skin changes. ]

Tch, what type of technique is this? It looks like your skin is becoming metal or something.

[all_ofthethings]

[He lets the shield cover him entirely.]

The only good thing my shitty excuse for a father ever gave me was the ability to change my body structure with the carbon that is a natural part of me.

You know how they say diamonds are a girl's best friend?

[He taps his chest.]

Well, turns out diamond is also a warrior's best friend.

[godaime]

So it's the perfect defense. [ She lightly chops the armor, but, Greed will notice that she doesn't flinch. She just observes her hand before looking at his skin. ] That's quite the gift from your father. I inherited some of his natural raw strength from him, though, I amplify it through a use of a technique I developed.

[all_ofthethings]

Pretty much, but he expected me to let him kill my friends out of loyalty for it and for creating me, but I'm a little to possessive to let anything bad happen to things I like.

[godaime]

Well then, it's nice to know everyone's daddy issues are still going strong. [ her voice sounds pretty heavy with sarcasm. ] I'm glad you're able to protect your friends. That father hardly sounds like an adequate father figure.

[all_ofthethings]

[He lets the shield drop.]

He sent someone else after them in the end. He'll learn not to mess with my friends though.

[He's scowling by the time he finishes talking.]

[godaime]

Well, that's rather cruel of him. People become stronger because of bonds they don't forget, not because of their abilities. You can have all of the raw power in the world, but if you don't have a reason to put it to use, you're always going to be destroyed by the man that busts his ass off for what he wants. Your father sounds like he doesn't understand this concept.

[ NEVER FEAR. She can pep talk him! ]

[all_ofthethings]

Oh, I'll show him the wrath of Greed when I get the chance.

[He chuckles slightly at his own words.]

This son of his won't let him get away with that.

[godaime]

Wrath of Greed? You're going to sin in front of your father? [ A slight smirk at this idea. ] That's rather spiteful. With a man of his character, I can't say I disapprove.

[all_ofthethings]

It's kind of easy. He knows my bade is Greed, but he'll be surprised I can be wrathful. He thinks he was actually able to purge greed from his system by creating me, but he's the greediest sonuvabitch alive, wants to become God.

[godaime]

So he essentially took all of the Greed he had and made into an actual person...? Hm. That's not possible where I'm from for a bunch of reasons. Let me take a guess though, he's made one for all seven of the sins? [ To become God you do have to be sinless after all! ] And the reason why you have carbon manipulation as your ability, does that have some sort of significance since the diamond is the most precious of gems?

Does he have a reason for becoming God? If it's for one of those, "just because I want to be God" that definitely is some type of hypocritical power lust.

[all_ofthethings]

[He never really thought of being able to make his shield of diamonds in that sense, but he's sure she's on to something there.]

Probably, he likes to think he's clever that way. Yeah, there's seven of us.

He was made just like us, except on accident, I think, and his base is human blood, so he had all the sins. He's wanted complete power of everything since then. Just to prove he can do it, y'know?

[godaime]

[ TSUNADE IS ALWAYS ONTO SOMETHING. She'll open her response with appropriate sarcasm! ]

Nothing says clever like being predictable. Though, I guess you all have a common theme beween each other. That'd be nice if you guys weren't named after sins and asked to work for some fuck that wants to become God for no reason. Power in idle, suspicious hands is definitely not a good thing.

How does one make one of you guys anyways? I was under the impression that you guys were conceived. And your other statements, are humans inherently sinful where you're from?

Yeah. That's a greedy reason no matter how you look at it. What a pompous dick! [ she's thankful she only has to deal with the Raikage in terms of speeding, arrogant, forceful people ]

[all_ofthethings]

[He's not sure he should tell her about how they're made. He doesn't even like it, and he likes being alive.]

Well, all humans have the ability to be sinful in them, doesn't mean they act on it. He wanted to wash that ability out of himself, but he's no example of virtue.

And I'll tell you how we're made, but you gotta know we don't have any say, we come into the world just as confused as the rest of ya, but full grown.

[godaime]

[ Let's spare her the horrific reality, she's already in Mayfield. TRAUMA AGOGO ]

I see. So basically, he washed out any potential of sinned yet still sinned? That's... rather poitnless and inefficient.

Well, all right, I'm interested. How do you make a concept into a person?

This is why I think Greed wanted to know about Al's soul/body.

[all_ofthethings]

[He grimaces, but clears his throat and pours himself a shot of the first thing in his reach. After downing it, he looks her straight in the eyes, completely serious.]

You break the laws of nature by killing off an entire country and using their souls to bypass said laws. A fair trade to someone who doesn't value the people those souls belong to. He takes them, makes them his, then trades them to break a few rules.

I don't have it right now, but my base is a stone made of some of those souls, and as long as they're with me, I want to use them to rebel against him. I can't put them back where they belong.

Right before He interfered, I was trying to figure out how some kid bound a soul to a suit of armor. I guess I could ask him since he's here, but the predicament I was pulled from makes it useless to know. Maybe, if I ever get it back while I'm here.

[And he trails off into thought.]
