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, 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.

[action]

[endgames]

[SUCCESS, at last.]

Awesome. I'll let sensei know. Maybe we can do something after.

[action]

[floralogy]

Great! [/EXCITE] Just don't drag me into one of those greasy barbecue places and we're good. [Even if she'll still eat there if the vote becomes 2 out of 3.]

[action]

[endgames]

[The fact that barbecue comes up in the thread with Asuma is suddenly hilarious.]

There is no barbecue joint here. You can get it, but no one specializes in it.

[action]

[floralogy]

[It's pure coincidence!!!]

Somehow, I think that's good.

[action]

[endgames]

You can't tell me that you don't miss yakiniku. There's no way even you could dislike it and still go out for it with the rest of us week after week back home.

[action]

[floralogy]

[She sighs and rolls her eyes.]

I only eat there because you guys do. [Part truth, part lie. She actually doesn't dislike the food more than she should. Of course, she wouldn't go there during her spare time alone. Barbecues are alright when you're with friends.]

[action]

[endgames]

Of course. And that's why you still get huffy at Chouji if he takes the meat you were grilling.

No, no, woman. I'm onto you.

[floralogy]

[This is her on the inside.]

[action]

[floralogy]

[But nope, she's playing it cool.]

Theories, Shikamaru, theories.

[action]

[endgames]

[Extremely accurate theories!!]

We are definitely getting barbecue later.

[action]

[floralogy]

[No, not really.]

And I'll just watch you guys eat.

[action]

[endgames]

[Hands spread out now. Whatever you say~

Except now he's plotting. Muah.]

[action]

[floralogy]

[You better not be plotting something evil.]
