028 -- [Voice || Action]

[endgames]

Hi. [The journal feed starts unceremoniously.] Noticed the village is getting back into the swing of things. Either that or those who are sulking are doing so more quietly. Good luck with that, whichever.

But hey. I'm looking for a lighter that I misplaced. Anyone comes across it, lemme know. Thanks.

[Through the afternoon and evening, Shikamaru can be found in various places around the village: digging through things in shops, searching through grass and shrubs and so on. He hasn't been around the village much in the last two days, busy elsewhere with his deer.

Now it almost seems like he's making up for it. One minute you might walk past him digging through the trash behind a building, only to go in to find he's inside already (probably asking if the place has a lost and found). Someone's busy.]

1/2 Apologies for slowness, I've been sickish

[endgames]

[Oh this sounds very grim indeed.]

[endgames]

[Shikamaru speaks in his normal tone. Take that bullies.]

Kotomi-chan. [He remembered.] I'm going to let you in on a secret that will change your life.

Bullies are dumbasses.

[action] Just in time! /also slides back

[endgames]

I won't say no to an extra hand.

[He imagines a kid will get bored fast, but even for a little while it's worth it.]

[Action]

[endgames]

[Just not even questioning things anymore. Her idea would've been better, fireworks are awesome.]

Nothing so impressive. I was looking through shit in my room when I couldn't remember anything, actually. I tossed it and a few other things out the window.

[And wow, you clean up fast.]

voice;

[endgames]

You and most people.

voice;

[breezing]

Well...I've heard a lot about lying recently, you know?

[Action]

[savedtheworld]

Oh, really? Well you... you seem good at it. Must make those ninja missions easier.

[action]

[not_a_troll]

[That is a refreshing response for once. But talking funny?]

Funny talk? I do talk in jest, but I haven't done so yet.

Of course I have, my older self is quite depressing.

[Loki moves closer, leaning in and whispers.]

Maidens do not like depressing types, you see?

[Action]

[castbytheglyph]

[Oh no, it's clean enough that Pascal could eat off of it. By normal standards its still a complete tip.]

Ooh, you had your memory messed with too. So if it flew out the window then shouldn't you be looking outside your window?

[etudes]

[ And with Kotomi being Kotomi, she takes it at face value and gasps, she really is surprised.

... Except then she realises she still doesn't know.. ]

Um.. w-what are dumbasses..?

[action]

[zorichan]

Ok! [He looks around as if the lighter will just suddenly appear out of thin air.] What's it look like?

[Action]

[endgames]

Ha.

[It's taking forever, but he'd rather not get into that.]

Anyways. It was easier to search the place with another pair of eyes - and then a third with you. Thanks for your help.

[endgames]

One of the stupidest sort of person you will ever meet.

Bullies are the lowest class of this type. Yet you can deal with most by having good friends, and not paying them mind at all.

[action]

[endgames]

Shiny and silver looking. This big. [He uses his hand to indicate the size.] It has a hinged lid.

[Action]

[savedtheworld]

You're welcome, Shikamaru. I'm sorry I couldn't find it.

[action]

[endgames]

Wow. Who'd think there's a world out there that's made that distinction? [GENUINELY IMPRESSED HERE.] The opposite holds true, where I come from. Unfortunately.

[Action]

[endgames]

[This is Shikamaru, past king of "I would pick up that pencil but it's too much effort". This is still satisfactory.]

Been there, done that.

voice;

[endgames]

That so?

voice;

[breezing]

Mm. There was a family meeting. Katara and grandpa talked about what they'd heard about Loki.

[Action]

[endgames]

No worries.

[He wasn't expecting them to. He turns to go.]

I'll make it up to you later too.

[Action]

[savedtheworld]

You don't have to. Just a thing friends do for each other. But I'll seeya around.

[endgames]

Aa. That guy.

[Quietly slipping a filter in here.]

[Action]

[endgames]

[For something as valuable as this, he feels the need to. But he won't explain - just raise a hand in farewell as he goes out the door.]

filtered;

[breezing]

[ Good thing, since Ikki definitely...still doesn't quite get how to filter, and even if she did it would be the easiest thing to break ever. So far she's only asked people to make them for her, and that only once. ]

Yeah. They revised our rules. That is - when Steve warned people about Loki, he...didn't say what he looked like, you know? And there's another Ikki here, so I didn't think - [ he was, you know, the same person. ]

filtered;

[endgames]

There's another Loki too. [Who he just met today.] The older one... well I'm sure Katara and Aang already laid out the ground rules for you.
