endgames | 024 -- [Action]

[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 ]]

[Frowniiiiing. It's Ino, but being a genie he doesn't like explaining things.]

It'll work. They'd be a thousand wishes I can't grant.

Huh... [While giving this some more thought, Ino's lips curve up into a light smirk.] So, I have to actually thank you for warning me?

It's listed as an appropriate response.

[But said with a shrug of DON'T REALLY CARE, because it's her and he would do it anyways.]

But you wouldn't do it to other people, huh?

[Aw, Shikamaru. She loves you, really.]

Oi, oi, don't push it.

[He says half-hearted.]

I feel special already.

[Yes, she's pushing it.]

[Of course she is, she's Ino. He wouldn't expect anything less.]

So how 'bout those other wishes, huh?

[Such a pushy, pushy teammate, this gal.]

Hm, well, what can you grant, anyway? Or are you not supposed to tell me?

I can do anything that doesn't break a rule.

[Which she might have seen when she picked up the lamp - there's four inscriptions on the bottom saying what he can't do. Notably, the thousand wishes restriction is absent.]

[Being Ino, she didn't read the inscriptions right away and she's not planning to. At least, for now. Placing a hand on her hip, she arches a brow.]

You already broke one major rule when you came out wearing that hideous outfit.

Maybe you should go educate the Malnosso on the laws of fashion. I'd tell them, but I think the lecture would just put me to sleep.

[She snorts and puts on this face.]

Yeah, as if you can educate anyone regarding fashion.

I'd just be relaying the abridged version of whatever you say anyhow.

So, you'll actually listen to my lectures?

[Did he forget to say the part where they put him to sleep. He totally thought he remembered to say that.]

[Oh, she heard that part. Still doesn't excuse her from trolling.]

Come on, Shikamaru. There are some things you should stay awake for. Fashion is beneficial for everyone. [A beat.] Especially you.

Ino, I'm stuck following around a toaster. [Never mind it will look like a normal lamp to her - she remembers the last time, when his lamp was a toaster.] I could care less at this point, so long as I'm fully clothed.

[Yeah, she remembers even if she's trying to forget. Thanks, Shikamaru.]

Really now? So it's okay if I get you in different outfits?

No.

What if I wish for it~?

[Would you believe wardrobe changes for him are the most common wish on this entry.]

Why do that when you could wish yourself a closet full of tops and skirts for yourself?

[So many people dislike genie!Shikamaru sob. ~~I think it's hot, though.~~]

Silly, I can get those for myself here in the village. But you wouldn't agree on trying out different clothes without being forced. [Point?]

[~~rofl~~]

Yes, I see your point. So you decide to spend your wishes making me miserable.

Fashion doesn't make people miserable. [Huff.]

It's a recognized form of torture for men, practically.
