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 ]]

Okay! Then I wish for a car! Exactly like the one that appeared in my room the other day! [ WHEN YOU WISH UPON A STAR.... ]

[endgames]

I have no idea what that is.

[But the experiment magic does! He snaps his fingers and--!!

Nothing. 8|a]

[alloys]

All the more reason to have built one when you were six.

action;

[endgames]

I don't feel the need to prove myself, so why toss around what I can and can't do? As it is, I'm pleased with how far I've come so far.

[June 1]

[floralogy]

You don't see me interacting with the talking ones here.

[June 1]

[endgames]

It was a joke, anyways.

[LE SHRUG.]

[weaponry]

There's, like, no car? [ There's a hint of despair in her voice. ]

Does this mean, I like, used up a wish? [ the tragedy of a wasted wish!!!! ]

action;

[alloys]

Great! Lesson concluded, then. Let's see about you helping me sort through my thousand ungrantable wishes to find the one I want you to grant next.

[endgames]

There's a car. [Sort of. For the duration of his genie-hood!] It's on the roof.

action;

[endgames]

Lay them on me.

[Just watch your wording. Huff. He will get real mentoring out of you someday, Tony.]

action;

[alloys]

Okay, let's see--for my first ungrantable wish, I want Doritos.

action;

[endgames]

Nacho-cheese flavor?

[weaponry]

[ Shikamaru, you're a smart person. Play a game. It's called how many octaves can Tenten's excited shrieking reach? If you guessed, "way too high to be tolerable to any species that's not a dog" you're correct!

Also she's moving in for a hug now. ]

Aaah! Shikamaru! You're truly, like, the greatest genie anyone could, like, ask for! I can't even thank you enough! I'm, like, so totally happy! I'm going to check it out, like, right now!

[endgames]

[ASDFGHJ OW, WOMAN. JEEZ. HE MAY BE TOO BUSY COVERING HIS EARS TO RETURN THAT HUG.]

Oi, oi, isn't it enough you've deafened me?? Don't squeeze me like a snake too!

action;

[alloys]

Sure, why not. I'm not picky.

action;

[endgames]

[Okay, filed-away. He makes a swirling motion in the air with one finger.]

Next.

action;

[alloys]

Next, okay. I want a car as my second ungrantable wish. One driveable car.

action;

[endgames]

[A car again, huh?]

You're listing these so quickly, I can't keep up with you. Really.

action;

[alloys]

I'm a guy that knows what he wants. And I happen to want a lot of things. That's just how I work.

action;

[endgames]

Two down, nine hundred and ninety-eight to go.

action;

[alloys]

And I'm sure I can fill all nine-hundred and ninety-eight of those slots. Got a pen? You might want to write these down.

[weaponry]

Right, right!! I should take it for a spin now! Bye-bye, Shikamaru!! You might, like, not want to stay in this area just in case the car falls down on you when I get it off the roof. [ Tenten lets go and starts to turn off and rush towards the roof. And by rush, I mean, run up the side of the building vertically.

Perhaps this would be a better time to remind her she can seal and transport objects. ]

action;

[endgames]

I got it. Only thing slowing me down is you.

[endgames]

[Yes, that would be ideal if only he hadn't been planning to take advantage of this!!]

'Bye'? Oi, you still have one wish left you know!

action;

[alloys]

What fun would it be if I left you off the hook in a timely manner?
