video by omen;
[The video opens on Sasuke, Lance is “directing” behind the “camera” (omen) with cue cards for him to read, and this music starts playing in the background. Lance gestures widely off camera in an urgent miming to Sasuke to start reciting what is written on the cards.]
[ Sasuke was clearly not expecting the music and he already looks so tired before he even looks at the cards. He’s trying. Honest. His forehead scrunches as he starts to recite, but it’s coming out in his usual flat tone, which is probably not helping anything. ]
Have you ever wanted to be cool… like the other side of the pillow? [ Sasuke looks off camera at Lance with irritation. ] You said you wouldn’t make me sound like an idiot.
[Lance is giving Sasuke the flattest look, then in a hushed urgent voice:] Dude, don’t make it weird, just keep going. No turning back now.
[He has more cards and they go with the music, stop messing with the flow! They haven’t even gotten to the memes yet.]
[ He gives him a look that makes it clear he doesn’t think he’s the one making this weird. Deep breath. He knows people better than you, Sasuke, remember?? ]
Awesome at kicking ass and taking names? Show off some cool ninja moves here. [ … Oh. Wait. He gets it. He rubs his forehead before going to takes a deep breath, and then blows a ball of fire on the cards to burn them.
There. Ninja move shown off. ]
Ninjutsu isn’t about blitzing chakras or becoming one with the shadows. I’m not using these.
[Lance isn’t affected by fire, so he just holds the burning cards in his hands and uses his powers to toss the burning pile into frame as he squints in annoyance.] Oh come on, we hadn’t even gotten to the best part!
[ Sasuke takes a deep breath, before deciding to just do what he probably would have from the start. ]
I’m offering to teach people ninjutsu and taijutsu; it’s the way the ninja in my world perform battle techniques and focuses on utilizing one’s inner life force, also known as chakra, to manipulate the physical chakra around you. Taijutsu is basic martial arts techniques that use chakra to increase the strength of both your offensive moves and your defensive blocks. I believe it will be able to help people who need to learn how to control their new found blood powers and, for those who are dedicated enough, will grant similar abilities to those who have no special blood powers at all. [ He forms a ball of water in his hand, quickly warps it with a wind current to freeze it, and then melts it by heating his palm. ] If you are interested, please let me know.
[ Boring!! But to the point. Sasuke gives Lance a look, like he’s offering to let him wrap up with whatever he wants here. Is that wise?? Probably not.
Lance rolls his eyes offscreen and adds, poking his head into frame: ] Super Awesome Ninja School, suck it Cobra Kai!
[Then he exits frame and has his Omen project a certain video, and the music is still playing:]

The seconds he has to take to let that sink in also make him realize that he was acting like, y'know, a normal fucking person for once, and it makes him feel... strangely. How does he save face after that many bad jokes!!
There's a few of those '...' moments while he goes to respond, and erase, and then types again. Smooth, Sasuke. ]
Mm.
My apologies for distracting us from the original topic. I can start to meet you for training next week.
[ Totally not an awkward or jarring segue at all. ]
no subject
[Weird...]
No, no, it's all right. I like that kind of thing. Don't worry.
Is everything okay?
no subject
[ That's such a knee-jerk response and the opposite of what he's supposed to be trying to do with people :| ]
It reminded me of someone from home.
no subject
Bad memory?
no subject
No. Just complicated. A theme for most people when it comes to their homes, I'm sure.
no subject
I'm sorry.

You're allowed to be a little 'unprofessional' sometimes.

But for what it's worth, if you ever do want to throw a few puns around, there's no way I could think less of you for that.
no subject
[ He actually would, too! It's not just lip service! Finger service? Because it's text??? That doesn't sound right, whatever. ]
Thank you, Shiro.
no subject
If you need to, you can always think of it as payment for your teaching.
