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 ]]

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!!!! ]

[endgames]

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

[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!

[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. ]

[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!

[weaponry]

[ Tenten skids to a halt before turning her head and shouting. ]

I wish I had a closet of like, super cute clothes! [ She needs more of those! Do you know how much she struggled to find suitable clothes for her that weren't sweats and her usual Chinese clothing!? ] I need more of those!

1/2

[endgames]

[Really, that's it?]

[endgames]

[Oh well, at least that was it. Being the asshole genie type, it's tempting to skew her wish some but... she was nice enough to wish him out of that outfit. He snaps his fingers.]

Sure, whatever.

[And now she will have a closet of super cute clothes. Some will be a size too big, but other than that it's all good and perfectly wearable.]

[weaponry]

Thank you, Shikamaru! [ Tenten continues to belt thanks as she walks onto the roof. There's a brief puff of smoke, indicating that she sealed up her car. Throughout the rest of the day, Shikamaru can see Tenten blazing down the road at an unreasonable amount of speed, or driving recklessly by either failing to stop or swerving everywhere.

If Shikamaru travels to the woods, he'll most likely bypass Tenten trailblazing, much to the ire of the animals there. Her driving skills reward her with a very colorful use of language by the talking animals. ]
