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.]

...Are you this lazy about other things, too? Or just about tea and treading water?

[Oh Buffy, you don't know the half of it.]

Would you believe me if I told you I've improved?

I might as you to swear on a Bible.

Shame none of my teachers are around. [Kurenai's off too, as he found out a few days ago...] They could vouch for me.

Have they? Been around? Do you see many people from home here?

Uh. [Thinking.] When I first got here, there was only three or four others. People have come and gone since then. For the past several months there's been as many as ten at any given time.

...You've got a bit of a revolving door too then, huh?

You could say that.

Well?

I just did. Say that.

Ha. Fine, fine.

Some have stuck around a while... the guys I went to school with. A couple have come and gone. The adults disappear fastest.

[...and he's still irritated about that, just a little. With what happened in July. He can't fully hide it. Kurenai leaving poured salt in the wound.]

...That doesn't mean you're scheduled to disappear soon, is it? You're getting up there. What'd you tell me last time? Nineteen?

Eighteen. [...] Probably.

[It won't count until September 22nd, but when you do the math he likely is closer to nineteen. Weird thinking about it.]

Not that it matters. Technically I was considered an adult at sixteen, if not earlier than that. Maybe before I should've said the old people. Like... thirties.
