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.]

[If it is, he doesn't sound bothered. 8|a]

[Read as: you both resemble pineapples.]
[Voice]
[Poor sap. Okay, no, she's not that bad actually.]
[Voice]
Oh, I think you'll know recognize who I'm talking about if you ever meet him. Tall, stocky, kinda scruffy... [She rubs her face, indicating the fuzz Marco's got.] ...and he makes those exact faces you're making, and he's got the head puff like you, too! Though his isn't a ponytail. Just...a puff.
[Yep.]
[Voice]
More differences. I don't have scruff.
[Not a hair. 8|a]
[Voice]
Huh...I guess, but you still remind me of him a whole lot. Buuut I think you win out for the whole "cute as a button" scale. [Tee hee.] Your mom could probably attest for that, too.
[Voice]
I don't know if she's capable of being that sentimental.
[Voice]
[Voice]
We get along. [These days, anyways.] But she's the type to have a rough exterior.
[Voice]
That kinda lady, huh? Can't say I don't understand, but at least she seems glad to have you in that picture. And besides! Girls gotta be tough to put up with all the doofy meatheads in the world! ...No offense.
[Voice]
Maah... it's one thing to be tough, and another to nag and domineer everything.
[Voice]
Guess you're lucky not to have her here then, right? Unless the Malno-nos had another say, I mean.
[Voice]
They'd better not. It's better that she's not here.
[Voice]
Aw, worried? You're a pretty nice guy, aren't you? ...Unless you're saying that for your own benefit, because I definitely hear ya on that one.

[Voice]
It was sarcasm, anyways.

[Voice]
Thank you anyways.
