031 -- [Action | Voice]
[Today is an understated awesome day, ladies and gentleman. To everyone? Okay, maybe not. But Shikamaru sure is pleased as punch. After a month's stay in the Battle Dome clinic recoveries from the injuries he got in his fight with Hidan, Shikamaru's finally cleared to check out today.
Before he gets the all-clear, he can be found in - brace yourselves - one of the Dome's simulation rooms. He's actually been using them for the past week for his physical therapy. If he's going to be doing a lot of walking, might as well change up the scenery.
Namely, he's replicated parts of the Nara Clan's forest. At its opening, the sky is more open, but the further in you go the thicker the trees grow together. Wandering will reveal easter eggs - old statues, broken and ruined, or a path of moss-covered stone lanterns. Maybe a young deer if you're lucky.
Other parts of the forest seem to be swallowed by shadow completely, offering nothing but pitch black that no amount of light will ease and the sense you're being watched if you step into them.
He'll try and clear up some stuff with Law before he goes, but after that he hits the journal.]
[Voice]
For those of you who saw that Vaskoth place... I figure it's been long enough. Name something you liked about it, if you can recall.

You must be made of sterner stuff than I.
[/end voice]
[Feels like forever since he's been back in the swing of things. Shikamaru can be found at CH1 of course, in or around his apartment. Throughout the days following, he'll also be at the place formerly known as Azzip's, getting back to turning it into a convenience store.]

well okay [action]
Silver on the other hand nearly jumps at the sound of Shikamaru's voice and spins around as if he's about to get hit by something...
...But it's just Shikamaru.
He closes his journal.]
That's what you meant, right?
[action]
You got the general idea of it.
[action]
...They had cars. Cars. Roads, cars, a giant amount of farmland... Structure.]
[action]
I think it has to be both. They were for the most part self-sufficient, but I was all over that enclosure when I was doing supply runs. There was a part that had the same layout as Luceti, including a Battle Dome.
It was clearly expanded over time. They probably earned that, and did the rest on their own.
[action]
[action]
[action]
We're divided.
[action]
[action]
But a sense of community? That's beyond him.]
[action]

[action]
When he genuinely doesn't get something, he asks.]
Yeah. Right back at you.
[action]
[action]
Aa. I get that.
[action]
[action]
[He crosses his hands behind his head. What he doesn't say is that it's people like Silver that mean Luceti will never have that. He can't say it, because not even he wants it 100% some days.
This just isn't one of them.]
I'm not the guy who will make that work either, but I'll take care of what I can in between.
[action]
On that draft, I watched someone pick a fight over soldiers killing sparties. His sense of justice was so strong that he ignored the reality of the situation and managed to get himself shot.
Another person savored the chance to put an infected person down due to a prior grudge and kept to himself.
A lot of people here are crazy strong heroes, fighters- you name it, we've got it. [It's impossible to not notice the average strength and skill difference between them and people in other enclosures.] On the other hand, most of those people happen to be crazy, stubborn, and stuck in their ways. [Rin. Moro. Mithos.]
I'm no exception.
[action]
[No exception indeed.]
But. I'm not here to argue that.
1/2
Think...]
[action]
[action]
Physical therapy. I've been ghosting around all week, actually.
[action]
uh
well-
physical what now
wait, he's heard of physical therapy before...]
[action]
I get to leave today.
