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.]

[This time she's right anyways.]

Nah, I got a friend with me. Just a deer.

[Off-journal Rikumaru takes offenses to this, snorting loudly. Wow, rude. Shikamaru rolls his eyes at his antics.]

I think he disagrees with you about something. Other than the weather, how was your mission?

[Snow doesn't bother her in the least.]

[Har har, take your victory Rikumaru.]

A pain.

What made it so terrible?

It was only supposed to be two weeks, but it lasted nearly three thanks to complications.

If you were the cause of the complications, I am not sure you get to complain.

[Look out, Shikamaru, she's teasing you.]

Oi, oi. [It wasn't his fault! D:]

[Oh, she knows. Shikamaru's capable!]

Don't let it become too easy to tease you, or everyone will do it.

...tch. [Too late for that.] Glad I make a funny gerbil.

A...a what?

[She's not sure if she misunderstands that because of her world or his.]

...never mind.

[Probably some phrase he got wrong anyways.]

But yeah. Done with snow. I'll skip next winter, thanks.

Oh, that's too bad. Winter is so beautiful and peaceful. Perhaps they didn't give you a warm enough coat.

It's not so much that. [He wears long sleeves in the summer, of all things.] I've only seen snow a couple times, where I come from.

A lot of the people here seem to come from climates like that. Why didn't you like it then?

Why would I? It's the opposite of what I'm used to.

It's possible for you to experience it and decide you like it better. I never thought I would enjoy too-warm places before we reached a city by an inland sea.
