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.]

Wait, wait. Wait. Wait. You're telling me that the civilians weren't capable of being drafted? Where'd you learn that? I talked to that Davis guy for a bit, but it was more about...personal things.

[Like her death.]

Yeah, yeah. I was there for a while. What about it?
rocketpunch: (Eh what's wrong!?)

So that's how it works...no way... [The concept is immediately interesting to Precis on a number of levels, and her mind is working quickly.] That's amazing. I can't believe they have a system like that. So the civilians don't have to fight most of the time. Man, I didn't even notice that at all.

[As a normal girl who's fought in an army and had her home planet completely destroyed, Precis still smiles a lot. She'd never try to guess on whether or not someone's been in a fight before.]

Yeah...buuuuut even if it's all voluntary, it has to be really voluntary, you know? Are you sure this concept wasn't pressured in or anything? I'm not saying that people wouldn't love the idea, but...who came up with the idea in the first place? Because if the Malnosso came up with it first, wouldn't some people feel forced into volunteering just because the idea is right out there in public? Or did they come up with the idea and present it to the Malnosso? Because that has really different connotations, and it'd be evidence of even greater bartering.

Of course it doesn't, but it's kinda interesting. If it was their idea first, then who knows what other things can be proposed and passed if we really work hard on the ideas?

You've got my support, if there's anything I can do.
rocketpunch: (Totally me)

["More than you think"? This is Precis. She thinks she's a walking powerhouse.]

Is there anything else about this place, or is that all you wanted to say?
rocketpunch: (you're wrong)

[personal profile] rocketpunch 2013-01-23 02:43 am (UTC)(link)
They had farmlands? Man, I completely missed that.
rocketpunch: (Totally me)

Oh, you didn't have to go that far. A lot of the homes were totally abandoned, so I was grabbing sealed food from pantries pretty much the entire time.
rocketpunch: (clumsy)

[personal profile] rocketpunch 2013-01-23 04:26 am (UTC)(link)
Oh...when you put it that way, it makes me feel kinda like I did a bad job. After Rin left, I was pretty much on my own the entire time except for the rescuing. And the hiding.
rocketpunch: (Worn Out)

You're telling me. None of my machines worked, so I was basically making bombs out of whatever I could get my hands on by the end. [She was making bombs before she was killed by one.]

I didn't really talk to anyone after that. I'm, um, guessing you came out okay, too.
rocketpunch: (You know I'm gonna win in the end.)

Oh, goodie. I won't have to worry about you. Well, this has been some pretty good information for me, thanks.
