endgames | 026 -- [Voice || Written || Action]

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.]

[Deliberately, and abruptly, she changes the subject.]

You missed a doozy of an experiment. Sokka and I got trapped in his headstone. Apparently it's riddled with doors. And spiders.

[He raises an eyebrow, not responding for a moment. Obvious diversionary tactic is obvious. Sure that's what you want?]

Do you know how annoying it is to fight dozens of spiders as big as your forearm? Not to mention disgusting. It was horrible.

[Katara. Talking about a fight being horrible.

That's a yes, then.]

[Sigh. Fine, fine.]

I've been stuck in a giant spiderweb once.

Big you or miniature you, and were you wearing shoes at the time?

Big me, no spider. Technically it happened twice, but the second time it was just a puzzle with a giant tarantula summon that wanted to eat us.

[Katara tilted her head to the side.]

Oh, is that all.

[BLECK, BLECK, ICK.]

Yeah. Wasn't so bad.

[At least by comparison.]

[Her face becomes serious.]

Well. I'll add it to the Cause.

Oh?

Yes. I'm killing all the spiders I can find.

[Every. Single. One.]

...is that just a thing with women?

I usually just bothered with the ones inside.

I've never met a woman who could let them be, even in their own home. At best they go on a warpath; at worst they go 'eek!' and drag us men into it.

[Sigh.]

Rude, Shikamaru.

[But she's too tired and hurting to even fly at him for it. She just shakes her head.]

Rude.

[Oh come on. You have to find it a little funny?]

It's worse if it's a rat. Then they hop up on a chair and point and wail.

[Allow him to jump up on this rock in demonstration. He looks absolutely ridiculous.]

[He does look absolutely ridiculous. And he's obviously going for the laugh. But she just... doesn't have it in her today. She tries to smile.]

Ha ha.

[Hey, he'll take what he can get.

With a small smile, he sits, knees up.]

Just don't let Ino see you pull that.

Ahh... If Ino wanted to nail me for something, she could come up with much worse.

[Katara shrugged a little.]

I'm glad to see that you're back okay.

[Now off you go so she can grieve and contemplate how Aang ran off after this news, y/n?]

[Seems that's half their conversations these days - one return from a mission or another.

And sometimes people leaving.]

Yetis aside, it went surprisingly well.

Yetis? What are 'yetis?'

These giant monster animals that live in snowy places. Myth and legend shit.

[Katara shrugged.]

Never heard of them.
