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.]

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.]

...Well, that imagery got a little dark a little fast.
herotypical: [ neutral ] (✝ he won't forsake me)

Or you hate old ladies.
herotypical: [ snark ; angry ; conversation ] (✝ she only ever walks to count her steps)

And they say the young folk no longer have a sense of civic duty, these days.
herotypical: [ snarky ; neutral ] (✝ fit to drink)

Perhaps my point was to get besides the point. Did you consider that, Mister Einstein?
herotypical: [ snarky ; pout ] (✝ and i could work weekends)

[personal profile] herotypical 2013-01-20 11:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah. See. There's your error. Thinking you were talking to an intelligent person.
herotypical: [ neutral ; sad ; angry ; crossed arms ] (✝ no antibiotic can save us now)

...Of course I'm a nat--

[ huff. ]

That's it. I'm banning you from all future topics even remotely close to hair care. It never ends well.
herotypical: [ snarky ; angry ] (✝ you eat the bivalve anyway)

As a conversation topic, it is persistent. Like a bad case of bronchitis.
herotypical: [ happy ; neutral ] (✝ where the lights are)

[ to her credit, she does slip slowly back to the conversation they'd previously been having. ] All in all? I'm not sure a world of commerce is one I'm anxious to rejoin, unless it's my very own.
herotypical: [ snarky ; angry ; pout ] (✝ earn me a degree)

Especially when it just smacks of futility. Why gather wealth here when most of us just poof away in a few weeks?
herotypical: [ neutral ; angry ] (✝ and nine left)

[personal profile] herotypical 2013-01-23 11:47 am (UTC)(link)
I think you'll mostly find that me and others like me will prefer not to imagine any piece of Vaskoth transplanted to here, if only because...

Well.

The association.

But maybe you should answer your own question? Share with the class?
herotypical: [ angry ; neutral ; sad ] (✝ this time baby i'll be bulletproof)

[personal profile] herotypical 2013-01-24 04:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Did they tell you just how much they'd had to cooperate?
herotypical: [ snarky ; pout ] (✝ and i could work weekends)

Don't assume to tell me not to think. There are not stupid questions, only easily bruised egos.
