023 -- [Accidental Post]

[endgames]

[Earlier, when looking through his father’s book for the first time in several months, Shikamaru found some pictures he’d never seen before being used as bookmarks. It was… nostalgic, to say the least.

He finds another bookmark to replace them; puts the photos in a drawer to look at later. Because haha, he knows how this works, right? He leaves them out, and somehow his journal accidentally records it. Yeah. Hell no. He’s smarter than that and doesn’t leave his journal anywhere near them. On top of that, he takes it with him when he leaves to assist with a chakra training lesson. Crisis averted!

Guess what he sees when he opens up his journal two hours later.



Where’s the nearest wall. He needs to beat his head softly against it while he attempts to figure out how this happened. Feel free to action it up when he’s back at CH1 too, if you like.]

[GASP!]

Ohhh, a baby!! ... Don't let anyone take your candy, okay? Bad people take candy from babies.

[Voice]

[endgames]

...ha. [Okay, this one manages to work a grin out of him. He wishes there were more kids in Luceti, on the days he doesn't feel guilty for thinking that.]

Don't worry. No one ever stole any from me.

[Voice]

[rollypolyclover]

They didn't? Ohhhh, Yotsuba doesn't remember being a baby, but daddy wouldn't let bad guys take my candy. [...] That baby is really cute!! His face is all smushed up against his mommy's ahaha!

[endgames]

[...her dad isn't here, is he.]

[Voice]

[endgames]

Heh... I feel more sorry for him myself. He looks like his mom woke him up from a good nap.

[Voice]

[rollypolyclover]

Ohhh, it's not good to be woken up early. I hate getting up early, Yotsuba really uhm... depises it. When you're sleepy you should sleep! But don't worry, Yotsuba isn't tired yet, not bed time.

[Voice]

[endgames]

And you'd be Yotsuba?

[Voice]

[rollypolyclover]

Yeah, I'm Yotsuba! Yotsuba Koiwai! [...] How do you know about Yotsuba, am I a trend?!

[Voice]

[endgames]

Well you said your name.

[Voice]

[rollypolyclover]

Oh... Ohhh, yeah, I already said Yotsuba's name! What's your name? Is it... Shiro?

[Shikamaru looks like a Shiro to her. :|a]

[Voice]

[endgames]

'fraid not. Wanna keep guessing, or should I just give it to you?

[Voice]

[rollypolyclover]

Yotsuba can keep guessing! Yotsuba knows lots and lots of names! It iiit... Sally?

[She will keep saying random names until by some miracle she lands on Shikamaru or until she's told what his name is. How long do you want to suffer for?]

[Voice]

[endgames]

[Hey, this beats suffering through everyone and their mother finding his baby picture cute. He'll let her try for a few rounds.]

I think that's a girl's name. I'm definitely a guy.

[Voice]

[rollypolyclover]

Right, you're a dude, yo! Yotsuba knew that! Does that mean your name is Taiyaki?

[She'll be jumping right back onto the cute train just as soon as she's done throwing out more ridiculous guesses.]

[Voice]

[endgames]

[That sounds like the kind of name he'd expect a relative of Naruto to have, if he had a brother.]

Nope. I'll give you a hint: it has nine letters.

[Voice]

[rollypolyclover]

Nine letters... That's almost ten! Is there a 'u'?

[Guessing Shikamaru's name has become a game of hangman.]

[Voice]

[endgames]

There is.

[Hey no, that's a fun idea. Though the actual hangman part may come later. But there is a series of dashes, with the 'u' in place for her.]

[Voice]

[rollypolyclover]

Hey there's the u, Yotsuba was right!!

[And that earns her a round of applause. From herself.]

How about 'Y', like Yotsuba!

[Voice]

[endgames]

Nope, no 'Y'.

[Voice]

[rollypolyclover]

There should be one of those, it's a good letter. [...] A, for apple. And amputate.

[Voice]

[endgames]

You have quite the vocabulary, you know. 'A' was a good pick too.

[Voice]

[rollypolyclover]

I know lots of words, Yotsuba is really smart! ... Your name is Aau! Aau aaaaau~ [So smart.] R for Rapunzel! And red. Red things.

[Voice]

[endgames]

Heh. [He draws the 'r' in.] A friend of mine's favorite color is red. Yours too?

[Voice]

[rollypolyclover]

Red is nice. But so is green! Oh, oh, and yellow! Yellow like the sun and sunflowers, they're so pretty! Do you like flowers? ... Oh, F! Is there any of those?

[Voice]

[endgames]

Guess again. And I'm more of a cloud person, myself.
