[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.]

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.

[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.]

[...That's good news. That's really good news. It's about time, Shikamaru.] And here I was, finally getting used to visiting you every day.

If I used that time for the dome, I'd miss out on cloud watching.
tsuntrader: (...Right.)

And I bet it's gonna rain.

I hope you're right.
tsuntrader: (...Right.)

[Oh. Well. Okay. He nods, but...]

We should really get back to training. [But. But hanging out with Shikamaru. And he's done a lot today.

...Conflict of interests...]
tsuntrader: (Hmph.)

No fair. I can't deny you that. [As much as he wants to.]
tsuntrader: (...oh)

[Well. Well he was about to say yes, but his Pokémon all get up and agree before he has the opportunity.

Murkrow in particular flies over to Shikamaru and makes himself comfortable on his head. There's no option here. It's happening.]


...Guess it's settled, then.
tsuntrader: (...Right.)

[That's definitely convenient. He's curious about what the simulation will look like, but he'll see it first hand soon enough.
tsuntrader: (...oh)

[The Nara forest one is a good option, really. Silver instantly stares at it in awe.

...Hurry up and head in so we can go explore Shikamaru he wants to see your forest already go go go]
tsuntrader: (...Right.)

[Nod. Don't worry Shikamaru, he won't.

What he will do is immediately look around. This place is amazing.]


Where are we?
tsuntrader: (...oh)

[...] How big is the mansion you live in? [Seriously, you must be loaded if you have a giant backyard like this-]

[...Your clan owns a forest this beautiful.



You're so lucky, Shikamaru.]
