024 -- [Action]

[endgames]

[It is on the fourth day of the experiment that Shikamaru leaves his apartment. Free of those stupid thought bubbles, this should've been a good thing. But as he walked, it felt like he was being drawn to something. A weird breeze picked up. The sky literally became overcast. Ominous shit, man. 8|

It's only when he walked past a tree that he saw it. His old foe thought long gone when he defenestrated it months ago.]

Oh, not this again-

-

May 27 - June 1

[For these four days of the experiment, around the village there is a toaster ~magic lamp~ waiting to be found. In that tree! On that bench! On top of that fountain! How did it get in all these weird places? NO IDEA. But pick it up, and BAM. SMOKE PELLETS, and you suddenly have your very own genie (barefoot, with an outfit something like this). Careful what you wish for.]

Can we make this quick?



[[ ooc: So Shikamaru's fairy-taled into a genie again! You get three (3) wishes, and he will be 'granting' them as literally as possible.

As per the guidelines of the old fairy-tale event: nothing wished for is actually real. It will look like it is! But your character is either interacting with something imaginary or a mundane object: like thinking they picked up a magic lamp when it's really a toaster. Wish to be a sorcerer? While effected it's like COOL YOU HAVE MAGIC POWERS. Only not really, you were just pointing at things.

TL;DR: it's one giant game of pretend. Have fun. 8|b ]]

Day 4

[talentsgirl]

[And when she stops laughing - oh, the parallels abound - she shakes her head at him.]

Because clearly I've spending this whole time trying to think of a way to torture you? It's a good movie. You'll laugh.

[consultsdetective]

Got a bit of an attitude problem there, don't you? Might wanna try toning it down while you're stuck popping out of corners dressed like that. [ TUT TUT, you punk.

Oh, wait, right. Have a little half-bow and a finger wiggling gesture. They're just the natural genie-handling instinct. ] I wish to forfeit the rest of my wishes. You're free to go until someone else trips over you or things settle down again. Don't get yourself punched in the meantime.

[ No seriously, don't. He's not that mean :| ]

[June 1] it's okay, bb /o/

[floralogy]

[And then she crosses her arms before her chest.] What's with that look?

[June 1]

[endgames]

Name your ten best examples, and tell me you still don't see it.

Day 4 1/2

[endgames]

Clearly. [What a cunning woman.] This is quite the nefarious plot. Luring me into a false sense of security...

Day 4

[endgames]

[But okay, he can't hold it off anymore.]

Wish granted.

[They'll see if he enjoys it. 8|

...he probably will.]

[endgames]

You'd be cranky if you were in my position too.

[JUST. SAYING.

And okay, looks like this is his shortest-lived master. If he weren't racially-anime, he'd probably stick a hand out for a handshake.]

I'm gone after this, so good working with you.

[alloys]

And sentimentality. I'm sure you're quite attached to it now.

action;

[endgames]

Har har.

[He can't get more than fifteen feet away from it. 8|]

So what's the second rule?

[consultsdetective]

[ It's okay, they've exchanged something far more important. The brofist of spirits. ]

Yeah, likewise. [ Not really but whatever man, manners. ] Here's hoping for a fast week.

action;

[alloys]

[He shrugs.]

Gee, I can't quite remember. It probably has something to do with ungrantable wishes.

action;

[endgames]

Oh. Luckily I know about that, since you don't.

[endgames]

Ditto that.

[He snaps his fingers: wish granted.]

Later.

[And he's gone in a poof of magic!!

...or well. Picking up his toaster and exiting the premises. Magically. 8|]

[June 1]

[floralogy]

You're gonna make me list down everyone right now? [Seriously?]

[June 1]

[endgames]

Maah... I think it'd be more productive to just figure out another wish, but remember that for later.

action;

[alloys]

See? You don't need to learn engineering from me. You're already an expert.

action;

[endgames]

Better than you this whole time, and I didn't even know it.

[When in doubt, threaten the ego.]

[weaponry]

So this means, I can like, wish for a car, right? [ Sarcasm would have been detected if it was about something trivial.

Unfortunately for Shikamaru, wishes are never trivial! Ever! ]

[June 1]

[floralogy]

Any suggestions? [Of course, she won't heed his advice right away, but.]

[endgames]

[NOT THIS WEEK, AT LEAST.]

Knock yourself out.

[-wait, what are cars again?]

[June 1]

[endgames]

World peace? End of hunger? A pony?

[June 1]

[floralogy]

What do you think I'd even do with a pony?

action;

[alloys]

[:| You know him too well.]

Were you six when you built your first engine? No? Didn't think so.

[June 1]

[endgames]

I don't know, I always assumed girls just liked ponies.

action;

[endgames]

[Yaaaawn.]

Those don't even exist in my world.
