023 -- [Accidental Post]
[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.]

Rough month?

[Only lasted about as long as it did because he delayed Sasuke when he stole his journal. There's no way he can pull the same stunt twice.]

So negative, Shikamaru. But in that they both are like minded.]

[He'd like to ask more on if there's been any word of Madara's whereabouts, but any more talk of this should be done off the journals... He knows Itachi will recognize that.]
Thanks for stopping by, so to speak.

I consider it worthwhile to check in with you.

It's what makes you such a great leader.

[It's said automatic, before he can think twice about it. Jeez. How did this conversation get turned back this way?
May as well continue. No sense in giving him a chance to argue his point.]
I will be someday, but I'm not there yet.
