If I see another mountain again, it'll be too soon. Did any of you know that sirry means "ridiculous"? [He snorts.] Explains a lot. Avalanches. Yetis. More freaking snow. Man, that mission was a pain...

[/whine and complain]

Anyways. I'm back. [Technically has been for two days albeit not in town, so he'll make it official.] Anything interesting hap- [His disinterested tone gives way to irritation as he turns his attention to something off-screen.] Oi that's not for you-

[The journal snaps shut with a sigh. He never finishes speaking, but about an hour later the post is transcribed... minus the interruption, and now with complete sentences.

If you're out today now that the heavy rain of the few days is finally letting up, you might spot Shikamaru coming back into the village from the North... closely followed by a deer much larger than Luceti's usual fare ((think five feet at the shoulders, six at the head, and eight feet with antlers)). The stag seems pretty content to follow him around - even into town or just standing around when he sits - despite sticking to the tree-lined paths when he can. Shikamaru talks to him sometimes.

Yes, talks, shut up.]

[deathsdoctor]

Oi. Welcome back.

[Also you are being followed by a deer. New pet?]

[voice]

[endgames]

[Not so much new. 8|a]

Yo. Been keeping yourself entertained?

[voice]

[deathsdoctor]

More like others. It's been a very entertaining couple of days.

[In the very, very literal sense.]

[voice]

[endgames]

[Sigh.] Mission, or chaos god?

[voice]

[deathsdoctor]

All of column A, a peripheral smidge of column B.

[voice]

[endgames]

Talk about keeping busy.

[voice]

[deathsdoctor]

[Wry.] You know what they say about idle hands.

[voice]

[endgames]

Chop 'em off? Seems extreme.

[voice]

[deathsdoctor]

[Snort. Still wry. Raising eyebrows now.] Maybe not to the Sea Devil. Gotta make them his playthings some way.

[voice]

[endgames]

[His tone shifts suddenly from his sarcastic streak; honest.] Your hands are too skilled for that business.

[voice]

[deathsdoctor]

[The wry teasing tone fades. Yes, that had been a macabre way to twist the saying, but...

Aa.]

I guess so.

[That's... not something he hears often.

At all.]

[voice]

[endgames]

[...]

You get the chance, suffer through your boredom in peace.

[voice]

[deathsdoctor]

[Nudging this back to a less serious tone.]

Who said anything about suffering? If I get bored, I think I might go out and watch some clouds.

[voice]

[endgames]

Oi, oi. Don't you have your own hobbies?

[voice]

[deathsdoctor]

Pirate.

[voice]

[endgames]

Troublesome.

[voice]

[deathsdoctor]

[Steals your catchphrase, steals your hobbies... what's next?]

Yup.

[voice]

[endgames]

Next you'll grow your hair out and be annoyed when people call you a pineapple head.

[voice]

[deathsdoctor]

Getting that a lot lately, huh?

[voice]

[endgames]

Just when people want to annoy me.

[voice]

[deathsdoctor]

Aa... and it's getting a bit stale by now. I see.

[voice]

[endgames]

Someone should let them in on that much.

[voice]

[deathsdoctor]

If anyone has any ideas about you and pineapples in my earshot, I will suggest they find some new material.

[voice]

[endgames]

You're a pal, Law.

[voice]

[deathsdoctor]

[A smile.] Anytime.

So... you were saying something about Yetis?
