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 atoaster ~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 ]]

Neji is free to recognize him, by the way
a cover so he could sneak out of his hiding spotthe lamp opening! And once the smoke clears...!You get the most exasperated sounding genie ever. This is so stupid, but it's too troublesome trying to fight the experiment, so he's rolling with it.]
Right, "Genie of the Lamp" here, you get- [What sounds like a line reading is cut short when he sees the eyes of his new 'master'] You're a Hyuuga?
Noted!
Shikamaru?
[See, with the cat, at least it was Neji's same voice to give you a clue. Now it's not - a perfectly feminine alto instead. So sorry, Shika, no clues here that you know this chick. Though she clearly knows you.]
Of course I'm a Hyuuga. More importantly, what the hell are you doing?
Did you just call yourself a genie?
1/2
So there's a pause as he processes that.]

....
Don't ask.]
Right. I'm a genie now.
no subject
This place...!
A genie. As in grants-wishes, lives in a...
[Well, that is a magic lamp right there.]

no subject
[Since we all know how Shikamaru hates things involving effort.]
no subject
[Have you seen the inside of toasters- oh right, no one else knows it's really a toaster but him.]
Anyways, since you let me out, you get three wishes.
no subject
[The thought of Shikamaru granting anyone's wishes earns a snort that's very nearly an actual laugh from him.]
I take it there are some limitations on that?
no subject
Can't get anyone outta Luceti, can't make anyone fall in love, can't wish anyone dead, can't bring anyone back from the dead.
[And everything else, he will grant as literally as possible. Because it's more fun.]
no subject
Those are your only limitations?
[CHINRUB. This has potential!]
Can you bring someone to Luceti?
no subject
Haven't tried it. [Most people he knows want the opposite.] Why, missing a girlfr- [Wait, you're a girl right now.] -boyfriend?
no subject
I am not gay, Shikamaru.
[... Probably. Not like he's really done a lot of anything in either direction to be certain.
He's also not going to admit that he kindofsortofmaybealittle misses the other half of his team.]
How long do I have to decide?
no subject
[HE KNEW IT HAD TO BE YOU. Smirking.]
no subject
It took you long enough. I don't look that different.
[Oh, he does. But he's in denial of it.]
Hm.
I could wish for you to make this... [He gestures to his very feminine body] go away.
[He's already tried keeping up a henge, but... he just doesn't have enough chakra to maintain one constantly. Especially with the limitations in Luceti.]
no subject
Mhm. You need to get rid of that 'could' before I can do anything.
