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.]

That's the only one with you.

[action]

[floralogy]

Good. [Sigh of relief.] It better stay there.

[action]

[endgames]

Few days' time, I'll have them back in the book.

[action] ninja-tagging~

[floralogy]

[A nod and then a subject change.]

Anyway, you never told me showing off your baby photos is one of your favorite past times. [Will be waving her journal to stress this. Hey, she knows this can't be your doing so you have to explain yourself, young man.]

[action] /o/

[endgames]

You must've heard me say it wasn't my fault on there a million times, right?

[action] \o\

[floralogy]

I guess I just want you to tell me that personally. [An all-knowing smile you must be so used to by now.] Because how should I know that you actually have this soft spot in your heart for baby photos?

[Just teasing, really.]

[action]

[endgames]

[He can't stop himself from rolling his eyes.]

How troublesome...

[action]

[floralogy]

Everything for you is.

[Nothing new there.] So, found the culprit yet?

[action]

[endgames]

Yeah. Linda did it.

[Linda being Masaomi's pokemon.]

[action]

[floralogy]

That weird yellow mouse Masaomi owns?

[Pfft. Giggling some more.] I didn't know it loves you like this.

[action]

[endgames]

Loves the cat even more.

[action]

[floralogy]

No wait, don't tell me that thing fights with Chouji's cat.

[action]

[endgames]

[action]

[floralogy]

[Rolling of blue eyes.] Should I take that as a yes?

[action]

[endgames]

The cat fights too.

[action]

[floralogy]

Well, he should! I mean he wouldn't be Chouji's cat for nothing, right? [Her way of saying she's proud of her teammate.]

[action]

[endgames]

Oh yeah, he could give Rock Lee a run for his money in taijutsu.

[HE'S PROUD TOO, BUT COME ON.]

[action]

[floralogy]

Glad to hear that. That Linda should watch its tail.

[Subject change--] It really knows how to embarrass someone, though. I mean it could have shown a different picture, but this has to be the one. How much of your dignity have you salvaged yet?

[action]

[endgames]

What happened happened. I'm not gonna make a big deal over it.

[action]

[floralogy]

Let me guess... [She shakes her head. Oh, Shikamaru, she knows you far too well.]

Because it's troublesome?

[action]

[endgames]

You got it.

[action]

[floralogy]

And no one was surprised.

[action]

[endgames]

In this situation, I don't mind my reasoning being predictable.

[And he tosses a wave over his shoulder.]

[action]

[floralogy]

Because you'd rather not deal with this situation if you can help it.

[At that wave, Ino just smiles.] Hey, where do you think you're going?

[action]

[endgames]

Whaaat. You don't expect me to stand in this hallway all day, do you? I didn't leave my apartment for your sole amusement.
