028 -- [Voice || Action]

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.]

Kinda gruff. Ones on missions don't like talking much. But he was a police officer from Tony's world, before coming here.

Tony?

Stark. Old guy with a beard. He likes to talk about how awesome he is.

[Hard to miss.]

Oh, right. He's from Loki and Steve's world, right?

Yup.

[But Shikamaru has a higher opinion of him than either of those two.]

Is he your friend?

You could say so.

[He's also a mentor figure. But it's not a good idea to talk about engineering droids on a journal that can be monitored by the Malnosso.

Plus it reminds him of the other mentor figure, whose lighter he's missing. Orz.]

[ On that topic, Ikki has only found a few shiny wrappers which have been picked up and thrown out appropriately. 8|a

...and a pop tab she picked up to keep. Yeah. ]

I'll try talkin' to him next time I get a chance, then!

[BUT GOOD EFFORT.]

I bet you're one of the few people here who can out-talk him.

[ SHE'S TRYING. ]

So he likes to talk a lot, too? Oh! ...Nope, nevermind.

Hm?

I thought I saw a lighter, but it's a shiny rock.

Oh. [Effectively siding away from that. Thanks for trying though, Ikki.]

Mm. But yeah. Tony's full of it.

But you like him anyway?

He's not a bad guy. Bluntly honest, but he tries to do the right thing. And he does what he says.

I think being honest is a good thing!

You and most people.

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

That so?

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

Aa. That guy.

[Quietly slipping a filter in here.]

[ 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. ]

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.

They want me to have one of them with me if I go to meet him. Ah, yeah - the younger version of him, I know about him now. I haven't met him, but the older Loki said he'd introduce me sometime?

He's nice enough.

What did they say you should do if you run into the older Loki when they're not around?
