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.]

[YEAH, THE MOST VIOLENT OF THEM ALL.]

I'll show you vio-- [Okay, calm down, Ino. You're just going to prove him right.]

As if you have a sense of humor.

[action]

[endgames]

[POINTING! She caught herself, but he knows what she was thinking, hmph.]

I'm a fan of irony.

[action]

[floralogy]

[She rolls her eyes and huffs to the side.]

Yeah, you're a riot with it.

[action]

[endgames]

[/pat, pat

For serious. Hand is ninjaing in to pat her head twice.]

[action]

[floralogy]

[She catches that hand and grips it.]

What's this for?

[action]

[endgames]

[Wiggling it loose if he can, though still grinning.]

You know. "There, there".

[action]

[floralogy]

[That grin will be mirrored by a smile of her own. Still not letting go of that hand, though.]

I'm not a little girl.

[action]

[endgames]

Then stop holding my hand.

[action]

[floralogy]

What's so wrong with holding your hand?

[action]

[endgames]

Nothing if you don't mind getting dragged down a flight of stairs.

[Because they're right by the stairway now, and he was heading out.]

[action]

[floralogy]

[She pulls a bit at Shikamaru's hand in order for him not to drag her along.]

You wouldn't do that to a lady now, would you?

[action]

[endgames]

[Using his male chauvinism against him, eh. 8|

Siiiigh.]

[action]

[floralogy]

[VICTOLY!!!]

I knew you're such a gentleman, Shikamaru.

[action]

[endgames]

Yeah, yeah... [Mutter, mutter.]

I really do have to go, though. I'm supposed to meet this kid at the restaurant for some shrimp, and then I'm meeting with Asuma-sensei later.

[action]

[floralogy]

Let me guess: For a game of shogi, huh? [Referring to him meeting their sensei.]

[action]

[endgames]

Tch. Nothing I can do indoors like that.

[action]

[floralogy]

Then, you're meeting him for what?

[action]

[endgames]

...did I tell you about that jutsu I was working on a while back?

[It took him several months to get. And. He probably came home smelling like ash more often than not, so maybe she figured it out.]

[action]

[floralogy]

I think in passing, yeah. What about it?

[But she did figure out that he's working on something.]

[action]

[endgames]

I completed it a while back. Wanna make sure I have it right, though. I only learned it by memory.

[action]

[floralogy]

I see, so you want Asuma-sensei to check it?

[action]

[endgames]

That's the plan.

...plus I hope it'll be a good surprise. It is his jutsu, after all.

[action]

[floralogy]

[Oh, wow!]

Now you need to bring me along so I can see.

[action]

[endgames]

If you want. I'm not supposed to meet him for an hour, but we'll be meeting by the bridge outside.

[action]

[floralogy]

Of course, I want to! Alright- [Will be letting go of his hands now as she claps hers together.] -I'll be there after an hour.
