004 -- [Voice || Action] Dated to some point after the tent first appears
[He got a peek at the tent long enough to look at the crowd slowly growing inside of it. It was home from there; his room, where he could peel off that costume. The more he thinks about the tent, the less comfortable he is with it; with the thought of people being herded inside of it when they're desperate for the relief it provides. Maybe it's nothing, but he'd prefer to err on the side of caution.]
If you put a glass of water ten feet in front of a guy dying of thirst, you know he won't walk away from it. That tent's like that. Convenient, right?
Makes it pretty convenient to have everybody all in one place too. [Right where they want you - a circle drawn into the ground (and the ceremony's about to begin)
He closes the journal shut and tosses it without much force across the room. He'll open it again when the funeral bells go away.]

...It feels older, somehow. Would help if it didn't look like a three-year-old was trying to write it.]
The costumes act like normal costumes, for one.

This is the handwriting of someone who he went to school with. He knows childish scrawl of Naruto's hand and careful marks of Chouji's by heart now; has even learned to recognize Shino's since they arrived here.]
Some people would find that a relief, if they got stuck with a costume bad enough.
[Relief enough to bother with a tent that might be a trap though? You know there's more, Sasuke.]

[...He's heard over the journals that last time this time of year there was also a ball. He wonders if Sasuke was around then.]

[And a sigh. Like you missed the point and he's irritated. He can act when he wants to.] Probably not a good idea, but suit yourself.
[If something bad happens? At least now he knows there's someone there who actually deserves it.]

[And he's considered that.] I'm not gonna save them the hassle by just showing up if that's the case.
